I Became the Demon King of Lust

After they had disappeared, the lizardman and the elite sahuagins went back to the altar.

They were completely unaware of the extra person that was still hiding inside of this room.

When I saw the dust settle and everyone was gone, I revealed a sly smile.

My plan had gone off without a hitch and I had been able to chase off these competitors while injuring them. At the same time, they had hurt the monsters to a certain extent which would make this easier for me.

I would have almost thanked them if it wasn't for the fact that they had interrupted me when I was about to fight the lizardman.

So I waited a minute for everything to return to normal before making my way to the entrance to this room.

I looked down the hallway to make sure that there was no one else coming before turning to the lizardman.

Since there was no one else here now, it was my turn.

With a smile on my face, I softly said, "Time Stop."

The moment that I said this, time all around me froze.

The sahuagins and the lizardman who had been dressing their wounds suddenly stopped moving.

They just stood there as if they were frozen in time…though technically that was what had happened.

I slowly walked over to them with my sword pulled out and in one quick swing, I cut the throats of the elite sahuagins.

I might have struggled before cutting through the throats of these monsters, but it was different now.

Not only did I have a powerful and sharp sword, I was also much stronger than before.

I hadn't gone through Su Chen's training for nothing.

The past me couldn't compare to the current me.

It was like cutting through butter, slitting the throat of these sahuagins.

But I didn't kill the lizardman just like this.

It wasn't that I wasn't able to kill the lizardman like this, it would have been easy for me to slit its throat while it couldn't move.

It was because there was something else that I needed from this lizardman.

I stopped a few steps away from the lizardman and released the Time Stop.

The moment that I did, there were spurts of purple blood that came from the throats of the sahuagin before they all fell to the ground. When they landed on the ground, the light in their eyes had already gone out.

In their last moments, they didn't even know how they had died…

But the lizardman was different.

The lizardman was shocked to see its subordinates suddenly dying like this, but it didn't have time to mourn them. After all, whatever had done this to its subordinates was still around and it needed to find it before it did anything.

The lizardman was about to look around for whatever did this, but then its eyes suddenly fell onto me.

Its eyes opened even wider in shock when it saw me just casually standing there in front of it.

There was a look of confusion as if it couldn't understand what had just happened.

After all, in the eyes of this lizardman, it had seemed like I had appeared out of nowhere and killed all of its subordinates.

But even when facing the unknown like this, the lizardman didn't back down.

It gripped its trident with both hands and aimed the tip at me, as if it was prepared to attack at any moment.

I didn't show any signs of fear seeing this and just raised my hand to taunt it, "Come and get me."

The lizardman once again revealed a shocked look when it saw this, but it didn't back down when challenged like this.

It did have a bad feeling about all of this and knew that it should just run, but it couldn't because of its pride.

So in the end, the lizardman suddenly took a step forward and stabbed that trident at me.

But the lizardman never took more than that single step.

All of a sudden, the lizardman stumbled and fell to the ground as a pained look appeared on its face.

It began writing as if its body was filled with pain.

Seeing this, I revealed a smile as I muttered, "It seems like the test is a success."

As for what that meant…

Earlier, when the lizardman suddenly gained that burst of speed and power was because of me.

I had used Time Stop and went over to the lizardman to use my ability on it.

I had increased the lizardman's speed and power before releasing the Time Stop.

This was a two part experiment.

One was to see if I could buff someone while I had them trapped in a Time Stop.

And two was to see if monsters would suffer the same side effect from my abilities as humans would.

As long as I could confirm these two things, there would be many things that I could do in the future.

Such as powering up a monster to take care of my enemies and then taking care of it once it was weakened.

Or even powering someone up to fool them into thinking that they had awakened their power. Then once they lost that power and they were hit with the side effects, I could easily kill them.

There were many ways to use what I had learned, so I was very satisfied with the results of this test.

Looking at the lizardman lying on the ground, I said with a smile, "Thank you for helping me with my tests today. It was a real enlightening experience, everything that you've taught me. I won't forget your sacrifice."

As I said this, there was fear that appeared in the lizardman's eyes.

I didn't know if it could understand what I was saying, but it was clear that it understood the gist because of the fear that appeared in its eyes.

So in the end, I didn't say anything else as I put the lizardman out of its misery with one single stab of the sword between its eyes.
