I Became the Demon King of Lust

Once all of the mummies had been taken care of, I walked over to where Tie Gang was.

Tie Gang was standing over the mummy guards that he had taken care of and seemed to be looking over them.

As I walked over, I could see that there was something strange about his expression, so I asked, "What's wrong?"

Tie Gang looked back to see me before turning back to look at the mummy guard corpses on the ground. With a deep frown on his face, he said, "It's strange how they don't disappear."

At first, I was confused by what he said, but then I realized what he was talking about.

He was referring to the mummy guard corpses in front of us.

That's right, it was strange!

The mummies that I had brought all scattered away and dropped loot items after they were killed, though some of those loot items were lost in the flames of the explosions that I had set.

But these mummy guards…they didn't seem to disappear.

Even the mummy with the headdress that had its head split open by Tie Gang was still lying there.

When I looked closely, I found that it was only the mummies that I had brought with me that had disappeared and turned into loot. The mummy guards that had originally been on the third floor didn't disappear after dying.

Though a few of the corpses had been burnt into ashes by the flames of the explosions, most of them still remained.

What had happened in this dungeon that had changed these monsters like this?

Tie Gang gave a sigh and said, "Let's worry about this later. For now, there's still one more thing that we have to do."

But I wasn't able to leave this matter so easily since I had a deeper connection to this than Tie Gang.

As a demon king, I knew that it was the demon king energy that was affecting these mummies. That was what changed them and made them strange like this, causing them not to disappear after death.

I could even feel the energy that was similar to Lilith's energy escaping them as they laid there as corpses…

But the most shocking thing was that there was this sensation deep inside of me that seemed like it wanted to absorb this energy…

I had never felt this way before, it was only when there was this large amount of this strange energy that I felt this way.

It really didn't seem to make sense at all…

However, the thing that I was most curious about was how these corpses remained after they had been killed.

Before this, it was almost as if the monsters in the dungeon didn't exist in this world until a dungeon break happened. That was the explanation that was generally accepted by people on why monsters just disappeared in dungeons after they were killed.

Though no one really had a theory as to what happened to them after they disappeared.

But now it seemed like the demon king energy was capable of making these monsters real even though they were still in the dungeon.

This opened up a completely new world for me.

If I was able to use my Hypnosis powers to do the same with the monsters of the dungeon, wouldn't that mean that I would be able to build up a large force that I could use at any time?

Though there would be the problem of getting them out of the dungeon, hiding them in the human world, and many other things, it was still something that was definitely worth thinking about.

In a worst case scenario, I would just be able to turn a dungeon into my personal safe zone. In the future, if anything happened or I needed to take care of someone, I could always use that dungeon.

I couldn't help feeling more excited as these thoughts came into my mind.

But I was quickly pulled back from these thoughts by Tie Gang.

Tie Gang came over and tapped me on the shoulder before saying, "Are you alright?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up to see his concerned expression before saying, "I'm fine."

Tie Gang looked at me with the same concerned look before patting me on the shoulder and saying, "They're just monsters. You don't need to feel anything towards them. If they knew who you really were, they would have torn you to pieces. It's just kill or be killed with them."

I couldn't help being surprised by his words before realizing that he had misunderstood something.

He thought that I had been in a daze because I had felt guilty about betraying those monsters.

But that was a good thing since I didn't want him to even guess what I was actually thinking.

I said with a nod, "Un, I know. I'll be fine for the final battle, you don't need to worry about me."

Tie Gang saw the look in my eyes and gave a nod of appreciation.

Then he turned to the rest who had finished cleaning up the mummies and said, "Everyone, get ready. We're about to face the final boss."

All of them revealed firm looks on their faces, but there were a few that had worried looks.

These were the ones that had gone to see the mummy leader with me before.

It was clear that they had a more clear idea of how strong this final boss would be.

But to give the rest a good idea, I suddenly said, "Let me tell you what we're about to face."

Tie Gang was surprised that I would step up like this.

He had been planning on letting me hang back since he thought that I was affected by betraying the mummies, but seeing that I was already stepping forward, he took a step back for me to speak.

"There are two bosses that we have to face. One of them is the mummy leader from before and the other is the dungeon boss…"
