I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 276: Raid dungeon (68)

It wasn't just me that felt this change in the pharaoh mummy's aura.

Everyone felt it and looked at Tie Gang asking for instructions.

Tie Gang just calmly took two steps back and said, "Everyone move back."

Though they moved away from the pharaoh mummy, they still made sure to keep the binding around it so that it wasn't able to move at all.

Tie Gang also raised his sword, as if he was prepared for anything to happen.

But nothing happened in the end.

All that happened was the same thing as before where the voice of the pharaoh mummy changed as it said, "So, you got this vessel as well. It doesn't matter, you can have it since it's just one of the spares."

Everyone knitted their brows the moment that they heard this voice.

After a moment of silence, I asked, "What do you mean by vessel?"

The pharaoh mummy and the others all looked at me when I said this, but I just waited for whoever was controlling the pharaoh mummy to respond.

After looking at me for a bit, the pharaoh mummy said, "You were the one that took out my other vessel. It seems that there's some kind of fate between you and me."

I deeply knitted my brows when I heard this, but I just once again stressed, "What do you mean by vessel?"

The pharaoh mummy started laughing when it heard this before saying in a voice that almost seemed like taunting, "Well, I guess you do deserve a reward after all of this."

The pharaoh mummy suddenly looked at me and said with what seemed to be a smile, "What do you think of when you hear the word vessel?"

I couldn't help revealing a confused look when I heard this before slowly saying, "Something that contains something else."

The pharaoh mummy gave a nod before saying, "What do you think a vessel like this would contain?"

All of us knitted our brows when we heard this.

But I slowly came to a conclusion…

What would use a monster as a vessel?

It would have to be something powerful and something that was related to the dungeon.

The only thing that I could think of was…the demon king.

A vessel for the demon king, that was the only thing that seemed to make sense.

I immediately looked at the pharaoh mummy with narrowed eyes as if I wanted to confirm something.

When the pharaoh mummy saw me staring at it like this, it revealed an even wider smile before saying, "It seems like you already have your answer. Then that is the only reward that you will be receiving today."

It seemed like it was about to leave when it said this, so I quickly said, "Wait…"

But it didn't matter since the aura started to disappear already.

The final thing that the pharaoh mummy, or rather the demon king said was, "In time, you will know."

With these final confusing words, the aura completely disappeared and the pharaoh mummy returned to normal.

However, it fell into a daze just like the mummy leader as it stared up into the sky.

Around it, the other Awakeners were slowly revealing looks of understanding as they were coming to their own conclusion about what the demon king had said through the pharaoh mummy.

Tie Gang also revealed a deeply concerned look as he turned to look at me.

In the end, Tie Gang turned back to the pharaoh mummy and raised his sword once more to say, "I'll put you out of your misery now."

The pharaoh mummy immediately reacted when it heard this.

A look of panic appeared on its face as it said, "No, no! I don't want to die! Lord, please don't abandon your faithful servant like this!"

But there was no response at all to the pharaoh mummy's fervent pleading.

The pharaoh mummy started looking around desperately for anything that would save it as Tie Gang came closer.

It looked around and around until its eyes finally fell onto me.

When its eyes fell onto me, they suddenly lit up as they revealed a strange look.

I couldn't stop the bad feeling from filling me when I saw the way that the pharaoh mummy looked at me.

Before Tie Gang could reach it, the pharaoh mummy suddenly said, "You! You have the same energy as the lord…No, it's different! But you are just like the lord!"

Everyone slowly turned to look at me with strange looks of doubt when they heard this, but I just revealed a confused look to show that I didn't know what it was talking about.

The pharaoh mummy didn't stop as it said, "Please! I promise to serve you as long as you save me! I'll give you everything as long as you save me! I will become your dedicated dog, just save me!"

Tie Gang deeply knitted his brows and turned to look at me, as if even he was starting to doubt me.

All I could do was shake my head to show that I didn't know anything about this.

But deep down, I couldn't help cursing at this pharaoh mummy.

If you were going to die, you should just die.

Why were you saying all of this and dragging me down with you?

Tie Gang just continued to look at me with this doubtful look for a bit, almost as if he was judging me. However, he eventually just gave a nod to me and turned back to look at the pharaoh mummy.

He brought his sword up to the neck of the pharaoh mummy and said, "That's enough out of you. You won't gain anything from trying to confuse us like this."

The pharaoh mummy just ignored Tie Gang and kept pleading with me to save it.

However, it didn't work as I ignored it.

In the end, Tie Gang cut the pharaoh mummy's head off with a single slash and its head dropped to the ground with a splattering of blood.

However, even after the pharaoh mummy died, everyone looked at me with strange looks. Your next read awaits at mvl

Even if the pharaoh mummy was dead now…the seeds of doubt had been planted.
