I Became the Demon King of Lust

The further that we moved from the safe zone, the more enemies there were.

But this time, we were working as a large group instead of individually.

Instead of having to fight alone to protect the path for the supply team, we were able to fight together and demonstrate power that was far beyond what we could muster individually.

Blaze and Kaito in particular worked very well.

Blaze's fire controlling abilities had a very obvious flaw which was that he couldn't use them from afar. His range was limited to the area around him and if he tried to use his flames from a distance, it would scatter.

The flames wouldn't be able to gather together and would lack the force to hurt the enemies.

But that wasn't a problem for Kaito.

His flames were more than powerful enough to be used from afar, but he also had a problem.

His problem was actually the reverse of Blaze's problem, which was that his flames were too strong. If they came too close to him or his allies, they would burn him.

So the two of them were able to cover for each other's shortcomings, which made them even stronger.

Blaze used his flames to create a defensive line around them while Kaito use his flames to burn down any mummies and scarabs that came at them.

If this was the outside world, then this might have been bad.

After all, the flames would have burned away everything of value and it would have been pointless to fight these mummies and scarabs. But in the dungeon, the loot dropped after the monsters were killed, so they were able to get the loot in the end.

Though…there were a few that were burned because the two of them lost control.

"Yes! YES! My one true soulmate, together we shall light this whole world on fire!" Kaito shouted as he threw his black flames at the mummies and scarabs around them.

For once, he didn't need to think about defending himself, which freed him up to go crazy.

Blaze didn't say anything, but the smile on his face made it clear that he was also enjoying this.

He didn't say a word, but he allowed his flames to spread all around him, creating an entire area filled with flames.

The two of them really were letting go now that they were able to use their power to their full potential.

As I watched them, I just shook my head with a bitter smile on my face.

I also didn't miss that Qin Yue Ru looked at Kaito with a very strange look.

If I had to say what it was, it almost seemed like jealousy…

I wanted to say something, but it didn't feel right.

After all, they were both men, so there was no need for her to look at Kaito like that. It wasn't as if he was going to steal anyone away…

Still, with the two of them working in tandem like this, it really was a big difference.

They cleared out most of the mummies and scarabs that came at us and we were able to pick off the stragglers that had avoided the flames. These stragglers were mostly burnt in the first place, so we were able to take them down with relative ease.

With the way that we were going, we easily cleared our way to the next safe zone.

But of course, I didn't dare let my guard down just because it was going well.

I made sure that everyone remained close and didn't let the Double Flame Dragon go too far.

Or at least that was what Kaito called the two of them.

Though judging by the smile on Blaze's face, it didn't seem that he was that against it.

Once again, I almost felt the urge to say something to Qin Yue Ru, but I held myself back.

As we moved further and further up, it really felt like we would be able to reach the next safe zone all by ourselves at this rate. But then before I could get my hopes up, there was a cry that rang out through the air.

"YEOW!"

It was like the cry of a cat, but it was much more primal than that.

This was clearly the cry of a beast.

As soon as they heard this, everyone turned to look at me and I waved my hand for them to gather in.

Even if they had been letting loose with their powers, Kaito and Blaze immediately released their flames and came to my side before Blaze released his flames in a defensive barrier around us.

We just stood there and waited for the owner of this cry to show itself.

But before we could see what it was, there was a sudden slashing sound that came from behind us.

When we looked around, we found that there was a large gash on the flame barrier.

The flame barrier quickly repaired itself, but the fact that this gash had been created in the first place meant that the attack was quite powerful.

Everyone immediately knitted their brows when they saw this.

But I didn't let myself get too caught up in this as I muttered, "Better hearing."

After I said this, my hearing suddenly became much better.

I could hear that there was some kind of sound coming from around us.

It was like the sound of wind gushing, like there was something moving at high speeds around us.

This sound seemed constant until it suddenly started getting closer and closer.

When it started coming closer, I immediately said to Kaito, "Wall, now!"

Kaito was caught off guard by this sudden command, but he raised his hands after only a second of hesitation.

Black flames started gathering around us before forming a wall that he sent out with a single push of his hands.

This wall didn't go far, but there was something that suddenly jumped back when it saw the wall coming at it.

This thing landed in front of us and we were able to see what it was.
