I Became the Demon King of Lust

The same look of hope appeared in the eyes of the others.

But that hope was crushed as I said, "We can't be sure. There could be another explanation for this."

As soon as I said this, all of them focused again.

They knew that it was dangerous to rely on hope alone. They were in a dungeon where all kinds of changes could happen.

So it wasn't a place for them to rely on hopes alone.

They had to prepare for the worst case scenario, so they couldn't just delude themselves with this idea.

After calming down, Tie Gang asked, "Is there anything else?"

I just shook my head since I naturally didn't know anything other than this.

I could only see what he saw, so if there was anything that he didn't see, I naturally wouldn't see it as well.

After a long silence, Tie Gang said, "Let's keep pushing forward and see what we can find."

The others all nodded in agreement to this.

Right now, they just had too little information that staying here would be useless. Rather, it would even be dangerous since there was no knowing what was out there, so it was better to be proactive than to be passive.

It was better to find the enemy first than letting the enemy find them first.

So Tie Gang started leading them forward again, going past the barricade.

After going forward for a bit, they found that there was nothing else special about this place other than the fact that…all of the monsters were gone.

Our group had the support of Elementia, one of the biggest guilds in the world.

So we naturally had a map of the entire raid dungeon along with information on all of the monsters inside. We knew where all of the monsters were supposed to be, but…there wasn't a single one that was here.

It was just like the first floor where everything disappeared.

No, it was actually worse than the first floor since there had at least been a few monsters wandering around on the first floor. On this second floor, there wasn't a single monster that was here.

It was as if something had caused all of them to disappear.

There was even an eerie silence that filled the air as we made our way through. Your next chapter is on m_vl_em_p_yr

The longer that this silence lasted, the more unnerved some people became.

There were even some that suggested that we should head back instead of going any further, but Tie Gang just ignored them and pushed on.

This continued for a while until we finally found the reason why the monsters had all disappeared and when we found it, we found ourselves in quite a bit of trouble.

All of a sudden, there was a large wall that appeared in front of us.

This was a wall that was made of thick stone that shouldn't have been here according to the map of the dungeon that we had. Not only that, this wall seemed like it had been constructed recently because of all the rubble that was around us.

It seemed that whoever made this wall had done so in haste and it didn't seem that well made.

This was definitely suspicious.

Tie Gang hesitated for a bit before saying, "I'll lead a group over and see if we can breach it."

The others looked at him with hesitant looks, but they still agreed in the end.

After all, there was nothing gained if nothing was tried.

They had to at least make an effort to see if they could get anything from this discovery.

The group that Tie Gang chose didn't have us in it.

This time, he didn't need our powers to take care of this wall.

Instead, he brought a bunch of people that had high defensive skills and rock related skills.

It seemed that he was planning on poking the hornet's nest by having these people dig through the wall and having the ones with defensive skills protect them.

It was all about what would happen after they tried to dig into the wall.

There was nothing that happened as they approached the wall, but the moment that they tried to dig into the wall…

There were a bunch of mummy archers that suddenly appeared on the walls.

These were the monsters that should have been wandering around the second floor, but here they were building walls and guarding them.

Tie Gang and his group only had a second to be shocked before they quickly turned to run.

The ones with defensive skills moved slower than the rest and held the back of the group.

It wasn't that they weren't able to move fast, but they were deliberately moving to the back of the formation to protect those that didn't have defensive skills.

They immediately released their skills to cover the ones that were running and they weren't a moment too late as the arrows bounced off their shields and barriers.

Like this, Tie Gang was able to lead his group out of there without a single injury.

However, the monsters acted very strange.

They didn't chase after Tie Gang's group, they didn't even come off the walls.

They just kept firing arrows at them until Tie Gang's group were out of range and then disappeared back behind the walls.

This was the kind of intelligence that shouldn't have appeared in these monsters. It was as if someone had suddenly taught them tactics and they were now using these tactics against them.

After Tie Gang's group made it back, he immediately turned to look at the wall with knitted brows.

There was an awkward silence that fell over them as no one said a thing.

It wasn't that they couldn't say anything, but rather that they didn't want to break the silence.

What had happened had made it very clear…

There was something that had changed about the monsters of this dungeon and it was very likely the second option that they had come up with.

There was some kind of mutation with the dungeon boss that had affected the rest of the monsters in this dungeon.
