I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 142: Irregular License Exam (29)

As time passed, there were surprisingly more sahuagins that came at us than before.

We didn't move at all since we were currently in a safe place, but the number of sahuagins that charged after Long Shui Ling was much more than usual.

When I took a look at the rankings, I understood why that was the case.

The scores were climbing faster than before as everyone was desperate to raise their points as much as possible in the time that they had left.

That was causing a large commotion in this dungeon which caused the monsters to be more active than normal.

These monsters that moved more than usual would naturally come upon traces of Long Shui Ling's monstrous mana aura eventually which was why they were attracted to us.

Still, I didn't mind since that was more points and more drops for me.

As time ticked down, there were no major changes in the rankings that happened.

We remained in first place and second place while the group under us was barely able to keep up. They were almost taken over by the group that was under them who had been saving their strength for the final spurt.

In the end, they were able to keep third, fourth, and fifth place, but I could imagine how tired they were after getting beaten by the dungeon boss like that.

When time was up, there was an alarm that came from the bracelet.

At the same time, there was some kind of force that suddenly erupted from the bracelet once time was up.

I couldn't help being surprised by this until Long Shui Ling said, "Don't resist, it's a Dungeon Return Stone. They must have put Dungeon Return Stones in all of these bracelets that would activate when time is up to bring us out of the dungeons."

A Dungeon Return Stone, I had heard about this from Su Chen before.

This was a special item that would allow one to escape a dungeon when it was used.

For those that raided dungeons, this was an item that was equal to a second life.

That was why these things were considered very rare.

Those that obtained them didn't let them go that easily and they weren't easy to obtain in the first place.

So saying that it cost an arm and a leg was an under exaggeration.

Elementia naturally had these things too, but they were saved for the highest ranking dungeon raids. They would only be used for B Rank or higher dungeons.

Su Chen only knew about them because he used to be Bing Xin's handler/porter.

But I couldn't help looking at Long Shui Ling with a surprised look.

As expected of a young miss, she was able to recognize this rare item with just a single glance.

There was also a similar swirling of energy around her which showed that she was also being pulled out of the dungeon by a similar item.

So I stopped resisting and waited for it to pull me out.

But as it was happening, I couldn't help looking down at the token that was in my hand.

This was the token that Elliot had handed me in the first exam.

This was my prize for being the top scorer of the first exam.

When I had been waiting in the lounge, I had taken this thing out to have a look at it, but I hadn't been able to find a single piece of information about it. Even the appraisal of the Demon King system didn't work…

I had been wondering what this thing was until I finally entered the dungeon.

Only when I entered the dungeon did this token reveal its true identity.

It was a Dungeon Reset Token.

Dungeon Reset Token

Has the ability to reset the state of the dungeon, resetting all of the monsters, treasures, and bosses of the dungeon to its original state.

That was what my appraisal told me when I looked at this thing.

That meant that this was a token that had the ability to reset the dungeon completely.

I had never heard of such a thing before, but it was definitely worth being the prize for the top scorer.

With this, I would have been able to reset this dungeon when I had killed the dungeon boss. That would mean that I would have been able to clear the dungeon twice and gained twice as many points.

It was just too bad that I never had a chance to use this thing.

It was too late when I found the dungeon boss and worrying about all the others who had been trapped took even more of my time.

I didn't have time to use it since I didn't know how it would have affected the dungeon.

There would have been too little time to find the Lizardman King again if the dungeon's layout changed because of the reset.

So I had no choice but to hold it to the end.

Seeing it now, I couldn't help feeling regretful that I never got the chance to use it.

But when I thought about it…it could be considered a good thing that I didn't use it.

This never said that it had to be used in this dungeon, so saving it could also be a good thing if it could be used in other dungeons.

Instead of using it in this D Rank dungeon, wouldn't it be better to use this reset token on a higher ranking dungeon?

"Un, I'll save this thing for the future." I said to myself before also adding, "Thank you, Elliot for this wonderful gift."

After putting the token away, the Dungeon Return Stone finally activated and the scene in front of me blurred.

It was as if there was something blocking my view and soon I wasn't able to see a single thing.

When the energy blocking my vision started to clear, I found that I was in the same lounge as before.
