I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 43: Princess carry

Once the C Ranked Awakener leader said this, all of us headed through the gate of the break zone.

This was a large group that was going in, so naturally it had attracted a lot of spectators.

In the crowd, I found my former team of porters watching as we headed in and since I had noticed them, I raised my hand to wave at them.

However, all they could do was look in my direction with worried looks and looks that were wishing me luck.

It was as if they were sending someone off to their execution.

I didn't mind it since I could understand what they were thinking, I just focused my mind on what would come next so that what they thought would happen wouldn't happen.

After entering the break zone, the surrounding area suddenly became silent. Or at least there were still the sounds of nature and animals around us, but there were no sounds of humanity at all.

It was like going back to nature once we entered the break zone, but that was to be expected since the only things living here were monsters.

We didn't pause for a single second and just followed the C Ranked Awakener leader deeper into the forest.

With the way that he was heading forward, it was clear that he knew where he was going.

But it wasn't just him who knew where they were going, all of the members seemed like they knew which surprised me.

I looked over at Su Chen and he seemed to be focused on something as we headed in. I couldn't help moving closer to see what it was and I found that it was a map of the break zone.

Su Chen naturally noticed me walking over, so he looked up and was surprised to see that I had that surprised look. So he asked, "What's wrong?"

I pointed at the piece of paper in his hand and asked, "Where did you get that?"

He looked in the direction that I was pointing in and seeing that I was referring to the piece of paper in his hand, he revealed a confused look as he said, "What do you…"

Then all of a sudden, he revealed a look of understanding before saying, "Oh, that's right! I forgot about that."

He reached into his bag and pulled out a piece of paper for me before saying, "I completely forgot to give you this. You fit so well into our team that I already took you as a full member and forgot that you're only a temporary member."

I took the piece of paper from him and found that it was a map of the break zone, similar to the one that he had been studying just now.

After seeing this, I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile, but I didn't mind it and focused on the map.

After handing me the map though, Su Chen reached into his bag to pull out a pen and waved for me to come back over.

When I went over to him, Su Chen used that pen to make a few marks on the map that he gave me. As he made those marks, he kept looking back at his own map which I could see had these marks as well.

Once he was done, he said, "This is the route we're taking and the destination for this trip. Study it well so you can make it back to base if something happens."

I gave a serious nod in response to this.

This was a very important thing, so of course I wouldn't slack off.

After all, getting lost in this break zone was the last thing that I wanted to happen.

Seeing the serious way that I studied the map, Su Chen gave a satisfied nod before turning back to his map.

But not long after this, there was the sound of leaves rustling that came from around our formation.

When this happened, the entire formation immediately stopped as a whistle rang out.

With this, Su Chen led our group into the center of the formation where there were other people there as well. When I looked closely, I found that these were Awakeners that had healing and support powers.

It seemed like they were taking a defensive position around us to make sure that we were kept safe.

Not long after this, there were monsters that came out of the brush around us.

Since this break zone was a habitat for orcs, naturally the monsters that attacked us were also orcs.

But these orcs were weak compared to the formation that we had.

Since this was a special mission, the weakest Awakener that was here was in the D Rank, so they weren't weak. The line of Awakeners was able to easily hold back the orcs that charged at us.

The orcs weren't able to reach us who were in the center of the formation at all.

That was until the situation suddenly changed with a loud orc roar.

When we turned in the direction the roar came from, we saw an orc that was much bigger than the rest push through the brush.

I recognized this orc with a single glance, this was an Orc General.

This was an orc variant that was much stronger than the average orc and was even skilled in using weapons.

In the hands of the normal orcs, there were only clubs, but this Orc General had a proper iron sword in his hand.

With the appearance of this Orc General, the Awakener line was thrown into a tizzy and there were orcs that broke through. Most of these orcs were taken care of by the Awakeners behind the initial line, but there was one that broke through.

I don't know if it was bad luck, but this orc was running right at me…

Seeing me standing there, the orc raised his club to attack me.

I was debating whether to use my Time Stop skill, but before I could come to a decision, there was someone that grabbed my collar.

They easily evaded the orc while lifting me off the ground.

When I reacted, I found that it was Su Chen who was holding me in a princess carry…

I couldn't help feeling very strange when I saw this and I really wanted to get out, but he was just too strong for me. During this time, Su Chen had been focused on the orc that had broken through, so he didn't see that I wanted to get out of his embrace.

To the side, there were quite a few people who were giving me and Su Chen strange looks…

Please, it wasn't what you think!
