I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 244: Raid dungeon (36)

I couldn't help but stop moving when I heard this.

After all, it wasn't just the moaning that the other mummies had made, but rather actual words.

It was speaking in the language of humans.

This mummy was clearly different from the rest.

After saying this, the mummy looked up from his throne and saw the mummy that was leading us. When he saw this mummy, he said, "Oh, it's you. What is it?"

The mummy leading us raised its hand to stop us from going forward before gesturing and moaning a few things to the mummy on the throne.

The mummy on the throne turned to look at us after it heard what that mummy said.

As that mummy's gaze fell onto us, we couldn't help feeling this strange pressure.

The others in my group all revealed serious expressions like they were prepared to fight at any moment.

But I had a different expression on my face.

That was because I could sense something that was familiar from this mummy, something that I had been looking for.

It was the same feeling that I had gotten from Lilith…

This was the feeling of a demon king.

Then was this mummy the new demon king?

No, it didn't seem like it since that feeling I got from the mummy was much weaker than the feeling that I got from Lilith. If I had to guess what this was, this mummy most likely was influenced by the demon king's power, which was why it was acting this way now.

After a long silence where we all just stared at each other, the mummy on the throne waved his hand at us and said, "Come here and let me take a closer look."

The others all looked at me as if they were hesitating on whether to go or not.

I just raised my hand for them to wait before going up all by myself.

The mummy on the throne just looked at me for a bit before suddenly saying, "I heard that you've come up with a new way of building houses?"

As it said this, it narrowed its eyes to look at me.

I just looked back at it and calmly gave a nod.

The mummy on the throne didn't answer right away as it kept looking at me.

But after a moment of silence, it suddenly asked, "Where did you get this inspiration from?"

I didn't answer right away, but after a pause, I gave a moan.

"You just came up with it randomly?" The mummy on the throne asked.

I didn't know what I had moaned, but it seemed like the Suggestion skill had given this translation.

The mummy on the throne narrowed its eyes to look at me again, as if it was sizing me up. While this was happening, there was an even stronger pressure that fell onto me, as if this mummy was trying to suppress me.

After a long silence, the mummy on the throne said, "Come forward and let me take a closer look at you."

I trembled when I heard this, but I held my fear back as I went forward towards the mummy on the throne.

When I came closer, the mummy on the throne got off the throne and came forward to look at me from different angles. It walked around me and kept staring at different parts of me, which really made it awkward.

After a long silence, the mummy suddenly broke out in laughter as it said, "I knew it, you were given a gift by the lord as well."

All of us suddenly revealed confused looks, but the pressure that had been on us suddenly disappeared.

The mummy came forward to take me by the shoulder which really worried me, but it didn't seem like it realized anything was off. The mummy then brought me over to the throne and had me sit down in it as it said, "I never thought that there would be another one after me, but it seemed that the lord hasn't abandoned us yet."

As I sat there with a confused look on my face, I waited for a bit before moaning.

The mummy looked at me without answering, looking right at my face as if it was seeing something. Then it said in a voice that seemed like it was talking to itself, "It seems that your vocal chords haven't developed yet, so you still can't speak. When you can, then it'll be easier than using simple moans."

I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this.

It seemed that this was what had already happened to the mummy before, so it was basing its own experience on what would supposedly happen to me.

After looking at me for a bit, the mummy said, "The lord is the one that gave us our powers and our intelligence. The lord is the one that gave you that inspiration. So it is up to us to repay the lord for everything that we have been given."

I could hear the respect and awe that this mummy felt towards this 'lord', even if I didn't know who this mummy's lord was.

But if I had to guess…it was most likely the demon king that changed it.

The way that it said this, it was almost as if the mummy had met this 'lord' before.

But before I could ask anymore questions, the mummy suddenly looked back at me and said, "Now, I ask you, will you be my right hand mummy?"

I was caught off guard when I heard this.

I looked at the mummy in front of me and it was looking at me with a serious look, like it was serious about this offer.

I just didn't know how to answer…

But when the mummy saw that I wasn't saying anything, it suddenly narrowed its eyes and said, "Then do you want to fight me for leadership? Do you want to see who's more fit to lead?"

I couldn't help trembling when I heard this.
