I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 259: Raid dungeon (51)

Once it finished off this group, the mummy leader just stood there while dark energy kept gathering in the dark energy orb in its hand.

As the dark energy gathered, I couldn't help knitting my brows.

I wasn't the only one as the others all knitted their brows while staring at the mummy leader.

Even the other mummies revealed complicated looks when they saw this.

That was because all of us could feel the aura of the mummy leader getting stronger.

It was as if gathering all of that dark energy just made it stronger…

After a long time, it seemed like the mummy leader had finally finished digesting all of the dark energy that it had gathered.

It closed its hand and the dark energy that had been gathered entered back into the mummy leader. As it did, we could feel that the aura of the mummy leader was getting stronger and more stable.

When it opened its eyes again, it walked back over to us and waved its hand for us to follow it.

However, no one moved a single inch since we were all too stunned to move.

Not a single one of us could understand what had happened just now.

The mummy leader saw this and turned around to look at us before waving its hand at us again to follow. Experience new stories on m v|l e'-NovelBin.net

I took the lead and went forward to ask with a moan, "What was that?"

The mummy leader looked at me with one raised brow.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't have bothered to answer…but since it was me, he hesitated a bit before saying, "That was a special power that I was granted by the lord."

With a sigh, he said, "When I was chased out all that time ago, I was given this power by the lord. Though I never really used it before this since I didn't know how to use it properly. But during that fight just now, I figured it out. This power is the power to gather the lord's power inside of me, to become the lord's true vessel."

I couldn't help looking at the mummy leader with a strange look when I heard this.

But at the same time, I couldn't help being wary.

After all, in cases like this…it usually ended with the owner of the power losing control and draining their subordinates for their power.

Though I didn't know what the mummy leader would do, it was very likely that it would do the same when the time came.

The mummy leader saw the look on my face and asked, "What's wrong?"

I slowly shook my head and gave a moan to say, "Nothing."

The mummy leader still looked at me with one raised brow before saying like he had forgotten something, "Oh right, I've just come up with a new name for myself. From now on, you can call me Lucifer."

Lucifer…that was the demon that symbolized the sin of pride.

Was this supposed to be a clue?

I couldn't help asking with a moan, "Why are you suddenly telling us to call you that?"

The mummy leader looked at me and said, "I just felt like it."

It was as if this was the most natural thing as he said this, which made me knit my brows even more.

So I couldn't help asking again, "Where did you come up with this name?"

"Where did I come up with this name?" The mummy leader answered with a question before saying, "It just popped into my mind. I don't know where I came up with it."

This really seemed like it was being manipulated by something…or there was something that was slowly coming together.

Could it be because of the dark energy that this mummy leader had just absorbed?

That dark energy clearly had something to do with the demon king, but what if it was even more than I had thought?

What if the demon king was scattered into pieces of that dark energy and by gathering it together, this mummy leader would become the demon king in the end?

If that really was the case, then that would be a worst case scenario for me…

If another demon king was suddenly born, there was no doubt that they would recognize me and then expose me.

If I was exposed, there were only two choices.

Either kill everyone that knew my new identity, or give up on my plans and my life and hide in the dungeons from now on like a fugitive.

Neither choices were what I wanted.

So I had to prevent this from happening if this was the case.

For now, I would watch over the mummy leader to see how it turned out.

After all, there was nothing that indicated this was the case right now.

Once the mummy leader…Lucifer was done explaining all of this, it looked at me with an impatient look as if it was saying, "Can we go now?"

I took a deep breath and started to follow it.

The interesting thing was that as soon as I started to follow it, the rest of the mummies started to follow me.

If one didn't know anything, they would have thought that I was the leader with how all of the mummies followed me…but I knew better.

Seeing that I was following it, Lucifer didn't hesitate to head deeper into this place.

However, the third floor wasn't that big in the first place.

It didn't take long before we came across another group of enemies.

This time, Lucifer didn't hold back at all as it raised its hand and gathered the same ball of dark energy in it.

With this ball of dark energy in its hand, it made quick work of the mummies that had caught us.

After it finished off those mummies, I could see that there was a dark energy that surrounded it.

It seemed that the more enemies it defeated, the more dark energy that it gained…

The more dark energy that it gathered, the stronger the dark energy layer around it became…

And, the more its aura changed.

This seemed like it was getting more and more dangerous.
