I Became the Demon King of Lust

As Long Shui Ling approached, she raised her hand and there was the same mist as before that appeared.

However, this time, she didn't disappear into the mist.

This time, the mist seemed to separate from her and floated forward towards the large bat and the bats around it.

This mist was completely unnoticed by these bats as it surrounded them.

However, it wasn't calm for long.

All of a sudden, the large bat suddenly twisted and bit one of the smaller bats nearby.

As it sunk its fangs into this smaller bat, there was a large spurt of blood that came out.

But that was only in the beginning as the blood stopped dripping out.

It was almost as if there was something that was sucking the blood away instead.

As expected, this large bat really was a vampire bat that sucked blood.

After the large bat suddenly attacked one of the smaller bats, the other smaller bats turned in the direction of the large bat. Then they all opened their mouths at the same time and gave a screech.

Or at least that was what it seemed.

This was at a frequency that was too high for humans to hear, so it was impossible for our group to hear anything.

But judging by the trembling of the large bat's body, it was clear that there was some kind of effect.

It was most likely some kind of soundwave attack that was hitting the large bat.

The large bat let go of the smaller bat in its jaws and then turned to face the other smaller bats before opening its mouth as well, like it was giving off a screech.

There was blood that suddenly came from the sides of the heads of the smaller bats before they dropped to the ground.

It seemed that the larger bat had also used a sonic wave attack on the smaller bats, but it was much stronger than the attacks of the smaller bats.

As expected of the area boss as one should say.

The smaller bat that it had bit into first was already turning into drops, so the large bat turned to the other smaller bats on the ground. It seemed like it still hadn't had enough blood yet, so it was going to suck them dry as well.

When the large bat was about to bite into the smaller bats, Long Shui Ling suddenly said, "Now!"

We hesitated for a second since we were shocked by how things developed, but then I shot out as fast as a rocket without waiting for anyone else.

"Boss?!" The others couldn't help saying in a shocked voice, but I just completely ignored them.

Since Long Shui Ling had gone all out to trap this area boss, I should do what I could to take it down before anything else could happen.

"Faster and stronger." I muttered under my breath before suddenly moving much faster.

At the same time, I thought to myself, "Time Stop."

After time stopped, I released the buff that I used, but I could still feel the torn muscles.

That was just a ruse for the Time Stop, but it still hurt quite a bit.

I came right up to the large bat and in one swift move, I cut the large bat's head off.

Once it was cut off, I took a few more steps forward before getting into a pose like I had just finished a slash before releasing the Time Stop.

When the Time Stop was released, the large bat's head fell off and there was only silence that followed afterwards.

During this, I stood up and turned around, but I had moved too quickly and couldn't help stumbling from the pain in my limbs.

It really did hurt after all…

The others had been silent at first, but when they saw me stumble, both Claire and Long Shui Ling came forward to support me.

They came to both of my sides and helped me up before looking at one another with strange looks.

The others all slowly came over with strange looks as well on their faces.

However, I ignored all of that as I said to Qin Yue Ru, "Can you heal me?"

She quickly gave a nod before raising her staff. There was a holy white light that appeared around this staff before it also appeared around me.

I could feel the warm feeling that came from this magic that she cast and in no time at all, my muscles had recovered.

I took my arms back from both of the girls and simply said, "Thanks."

Both of them looked at me with concerned looks before turning back to look at each other with strange looks.

I didn't know why, but it felt tense for some reason…

After picking up the loot that the boss dropped, Hayato and Blaze couldn't help turning to Long Shui Ling to ask, "What did you do to them? Why did they suddenly start attacking each other like this?"

That was the one thing that they had been confused about the entire time.

The large bat had suddenly attacked the smaller bat which didn't make any sense at all.

They knew what it definitely had something to do with Long Shui Ling, they just didn't know what she had done.

Long Shui Ling couldn't help feeling shy again when she saw them acting this enthusiastically, but at least she didn't hide behind me again.

She lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "I just used an illusion to make them see each other as enemies. That way they would attack each other."

I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this.

After all, I had once suggested this to Long Shui Ling during the test, but she had told me that she couldn't control the illusions well enough to do this.

But now…

Looking at her, I couldn't help revealing a smile and patting her on the head before saying, "It seems like you've been working hard."

Long Shui Ling revealed a wide smile when she heard this.

Claire narrowed her eyes, but that wasn't all.

She narrowed them even more when Long Shui Ling looked at her with a proud look.

She wouldn't have done this before, but it seemed like something had changed…

This something that changed just made it more tense…
