I Became the Demon King of Lust

After finishing off the lizardman, I found that there was another passage hidden behind the altar.

I didn't waste any time in picking up the loot dropped by the lizardman and heading down that hidden passage.

As I did, I also snuck a peek at the rankings on my bracelet.

Even though I had to wait a bit, giving the others a chance, I had still jumped up to the top after killing these five elite sahuagins and the lizardman.

The area boss was ten points while the elite monsters were two points each.

So that was a total of twenty points. NovelFire-novel-source

The second highest scorer only had eleven points.

This really was the difference between targeting large amounts of points versus grinding out on small monsters for points.

Just one success was enough to propel one to the top.

Of course, I knew that this was far from over yet.

There was still plenty of time left in this dungeon.

We were allowed to stay in the dungeon for up to three days, hunting as much as we could.

The moment that we stepped out of the dungeon entrance, that would be it and our points would be counted. We wouldn't have a chance to come back in again after we left the dungeon.

I was just glad that a supply pack had been prepared for me.

It included a full set of camping gear, so I wouldn't have a problem staying in the dungeon.

The one problem might be having to watch out for monsters while sleeping, but there were safe zones in the dungeon for that.

For now, I should see if I could find another area boss to take down or even try to find the dungeon boss.

The dungeon boss was powerful, but it was also worth the most points.

With my current powers, there was no reason why I wouldn't be able to take down that dungeon boss. And even if I couldn't, I would still be able to escape as long as I had my Time Stop skill.

So the dungeon boss was my target.

I quickly traveled through the passage, but there really was no luck for me.

Other than a few sahuagins that I quickly took out with a single Time Stop and a slash of my sword, I wasn't able to find any area bosses or even elite monsters.

I couldn't help being surprised by how quickly the others were climbing.

I had barely been able to keep my lead over the second place with the few sahuagins that I killed.

I was currently at twenty eight points while second place was at twenty five points.

As I watched the points of others increase, I realized a big problem…

I didn't have a search ability to find monsters with.

That was how the other side kept increasing their point value while I was struggling to find even a few monsters to kill.

I had to admit that my luck was really good the first time, being able to find that lizardman area boss. If it wasn't for that, I might even be ranked at the very bottom right now.

Taking a deep breath, I just decided to keep going.

There was no reason to be depressed, I could only keep going in hopes of finding something.

But before I could take a single step, there was a noise that came from behind me.

Or rather, it was just then that I noticed this noise from behind.

The noise had been there the whole time, but I had been lost in thought, so I hadn't noticed it.

When I turned around, I found that there was a cloaked figure being chased by several elite sahuagins running towards me.

When this cloaked figure saw me, a voice said, "Please help me!"

Though this cloaked figure looked like a man, the voice was that of a girl.

It was already too late for me to run away, so I just gave a sigh and thought, "Time Stop."

As soon as I thought this, the time around me froze and everything stopped moving.

I walked past the cloaked figure, making sure to trip them before walking over to the elite sahuagins.

With one quick slash of my sword I slit all of their throats and then moved past them to make a quick pose before releasing my Time Stop.

That way, it would seem like I had used some kind of amazing sword skill to cut the elite sahuagins instead of seeming like I had suddenly appeared in front of the elite sahuagins and cut them down.

As soon as the Time Stop was released, the elite sahuagins started bleeding by the neck before falling to the ground.

At the same time, the cloaked figure seemingly tripped on thin air and fell face first to the ground.

Seeing them fall like this really gave me a satisfied feeling since they were the one that dragged me into this.

But what really felt good was the points I earned from the elite sahuagins.

There were six of them in total, so that meant a total of twelve points for me.

That would create a large gap between me and second place, so I could rest easy for a bit.

After falling face first to the ground, that cloaked figure was in a daze for a bit before suddenly looking up.

When they saw the dead sahuagins on the ground, they couldn't help trembling before turning to look at me.

Seeing me stand there over the sahuagins, they once again looked on in a daze before suddenly charging over to me and saying in the same feminine voice, "Thank you for saving me!"

As they tried to hug me, I pushed them away to stop them from doing so.

That cloaked figure stopped after seeing that I wouldn't let them hug me before looking down at themselves.

Then with an 'oh' sound, their appearance started to change.

That cloaked figure disappeared like an illusion before revealing a little girl.
