I Became the Demon King of Lust

I couldn't help being surprised by this sudden change, especially when I saw the little girl.

This little girl seemed like she was too young to be in a place like this.

This was a little girl with black hair in twin tails with fair skin and a pretty face who looked no more than thirteen years old.

A little girl like this really had no place in a dangerous dungeon like this, but here she was.

After being taken aback, I immediately raised my guard since no matter how I looked at this, it seemed like a trap. For that cloaked figure to suddenly become a little girl like this it seemed like they were just trying to get me to let my guard down.

But that little girl took advantage of my surprise to run forward and to hug me by the waist.

With how short she was, I had misjudged and tried to push her back only for my hand to go over her.

She hugged onto my waist as she said in the voice that suited her, "Thank you, thank you for saving me."

I knitted my brows slightly as she did this, waiting for something to happen.

But in the end, nothing happened.

She just hugged my waist and put her head up against me while she was crying and thanking me.

It really made me feel awkward seeing her like this with my guard still up, so I gave a sigh and said, "Alright, alright, that's enough. There's no need to keep crying like this."

But all that did was make her cry even louder.

She looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said, "But it was scary!"

I gave a sigh before patting her on the head just like I had done for my little sister when she was younger.

After patting her a bit, this little girl slowly started to calm down.

Of course, it helped when I said, "If you keep making this much noise, you'll just attract more monsters." -chapter

As soon as I said that, she stopped making as much noise even if she was still crying.

Finally after taking some time to calm down, I took a deep breath and looked at her before saying, "Can you tell me why they were chasing you?"

The little girl just slowly shook her head and said, "I have no idea. I was going through the dungeon looking for monsters when all of a sudden, they all started chasing me like this."

I knitted my brows slightly after hearing this.

After all, being chased like this was a good thing since it meant more monsters to kill.

So why did this little girl suddenly run away from them like this?

As if she was guessing what I was thinking, the little girl said, "I can't use my powers when I'm being chased like this. I need time to use my abilities."

I looked at her for a bit before slowly giving a nod since it was the only thing that could make sense.

After all, I had seen how much power she had used back in the first trial.

This cloaked figure was the one that had been able to knock back that dummy, the second highest scorer after me. With that kind of power, she should have been able to easily defeat these elite sahuagins.

Since all of my doubts had been answered, there was no reason for me to stick around anymore.

If I learned her name, I would just get caught up further with her and that was the last thing that I wanted.

So there was no reason for me to hang around any longer.

But as I was about to walk away, the little girl suddenly grabbed my sleeve and wouldn't let me go. I tried to pull my arm away, but the little girl wouldn't let go as she firmly held onto my arm which made me feel even more awkward.

After a moment of silence, she looked up at me and said, "Can we work together?"

I revealed an ugly expression when I heard this, but that quickly disappeared as I said with a calm look, "I prefer working alone."

The little girl opened and closed her mouth a few times before saying, "I can be helpful, my power is very useful!"

I just said in the same calm voice, "I work better alone. It would be worse for me if I went along with someone."

The little girl didn't know what to say after hearing this, so she gave up trying to use logic.

Instead, she just said in a sad voice, "Please don't leave me alone, big brother."

Normally I would have ignored this, but I couldn't help being moved a bit when I saw her like this because…she reminded me of my little sister.

Still, I steeled my heart in the end and was determined to reject her request.

Before I could though, there was another sound that came from nearby.

When I turned to look in the direction of that sound, I found that it was another group of elite sahuagins running at us.

I didn't know why they were suddenly coming at us like this, but it seemed like…they were targeting this little girl.

The moment that this little girl saw these sahuagins running at her, she immediately went to hide behind me.

I gave a sigh seeing this, but I didn't turn away from those sahuagins.

After all, there were another six of them and that was another twelve points for me.

So with a thought, time froze around us again.

Then in one swift move, I went over to the sahuagin and cut their throats just like before. After cutting them, I took the same pose before releasing the Time Stop.

When the Time Stop was gone, the sahuagins fell to the ground bleeding from their throats.

I couldn't help looking at the little girl with a strange look.

After all, it almost seemed like the sahuagins had been specifically chasing her…
