I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 54: Thank you for your hard work

But as the Ice Princess was caught off guard by this, there was a sudden cracking sound.

When she turned back, she found that the Orc King covered in a green light had broken free of the Ice Tomb.

This green light came from the magic sword and spread out all over the Orc King, giving him a power that she couldn't see the bottom of. It was as if this Orc King had tapped into the power of nature itself to strengthen his body.

But the worst part of it all was…that the Orc King was already charging at her.

The Ice Princess had been distracted by the fluctuations that came from the Dungeon Break, so she hadn't been able to react in time to the Orc King charging at her.

At the same time though, the Orc King was clearly much faster than before now that he had this green glow around him.

She had no idea what this green glow was, but she could tell that it wasn't just his speed that was faster. She could feel the magic power fluctuations coming from the Orc King getting stronger.

It was clear that this was a buff that increased the Orc King's overall power, just like her Ice Time buff skill.

But she didn't know the extent of this buff…just how strong was it and how long would it last?

With these unknown, she didn't dare do anything rash.

So the Ice Princess quickly brought up her sword to block the swing of the Orc King.

She had been caught off guard, so the guard was hastily raised and she had underestimated the Orc King in the end.

When the sword of the Orc King made contact with the Ice Princess' sword, she couldn't block it at all as she was suddenly sent flying back from the force of the Orc King's attack.

The Orc King revealed a wide smile when he saw this and even raised his chest as if to boast about this.

When the Ice Princess landed, it was not a graceful landing.

She fell on her back on the floor and bounced a few times before finally coming to a stop.

When she came to a stop, she didn't hesitate to stand up. But halfway up, she couldn't help bending her body as she gave a cough.

Though she tried to cover her mouth with her hand, she wasn't able to stop the blood that trickled out through the slits of her fingers.

It was clear that she had been seriously injured because of that blow from the Orc King.

But the Ice Princess forced herself through this and stood firm as she raised her sword again.

When the Orc King saw this, he revealed a displeased look before charging forward with a roar. This roar was even fiercer than his previous roar and it even shook the ground under it.

The Ice Princess wasn't affected by this at all as she stood firm with her eyes on the Orc King.

It seemed that she wouldn't back down no matter what came her way.

The Orc King raised his sword and prepared to slash the Ice Princess once again.

It was just too bad that the Orc King's sword was never able to reach the Ice Princess.

There had been a blue glow around the Ice Princess' sword the entire time, this wasn't something that was there for no reason. This had been the sign that she had been gathering her energy for her final move.

In one swift slash, the Ice Princess released a wave of blue light that suddenly transformed into a wave of ice.

This ice slash came right at the Orc King and even though the Orc King tried to block it with his sword, it didn't matter. It was too fast for the Orc King to bring his sword down in time, so it landed right on the Orc King's chest.

Then…without any resistance, it cut right through the Orc King.

In the end, the Orc King looked down at his body before the top half suddenly fell off.

The bottom half had still been running, so the last thing that the Orc King saw was his own bottom half running forward in front of him before his eyes dimmed.

After taking a deep breath, the Ice Princess fell to her knees.

It was clear that she wasn't in good shape, but at the very least, it didn't seem like she was too heavily injured. It seemed more like she was suffering from having exhausted her mana.

But she didn't let herself relax too much since she could still feel the energy fluctuations that were coming from the distance.

There was still a Dungeon Break that she had to worry about.

The problem was that with the people that she had here, it would be impossible for her to take care of the Dungeon Break. So the only thing that she could do was bring this Orc King corpse back as soon as possible and gather rankers from the guild.

With this determination, the Ice Princess stabbed her sword into the ground and shouted, "Clean up the area quickly! We need to head back!"

But before anyone could move, the C Rank leader came forward and raised his hand for them to stop. He came right up to the Ice Princess and said, "Leader, we shouldn't be in a rush. What if there are monsters coming from the dungeon that are wandering around here. With you in this state, we won't be able to fight them properly."

The Ice Princess deeply knitted her brows when she heard this, but in the end, she gave a nod to show that he was right. So she changed her order, "Clean up the area and scout a way back."

The C Rank leader gave a nod, but he didn't turn around to leave.

Instead, he came forward with his hand raised as if he wanted to help her while saying, "Leader, thank you for your hard work."

The Ice Princess' hand was about to come up to wave him away, but before she could…

She felt a sudden pain in the side of her waist.

She looked down to see that there was a dagger that was now stabbing into the side of her abdomen.
