I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 87: Teamwork (1)

After they finished off these wolves, they started celebrating.

Claire and Hayato danced around the drops of the wolf they killed while Blaze held the burning wolves in his hands while dancing.

Even Qin Yue Ru joined in the celebration with a little dance that went along with Blaze's dance.

With the way that they were celebrating, one might think that they had killed one of the demon kings…though there was one that was quite close to them.

I calmly waited for them to settle down a bit before saying, "What are you getting so worked up for? You'd think that you cleared the entire dungeon with the way you're all acting."

All of them couldn't help revealing an awkward look before settling down again.

That was right, they weren't anywhere near finished yet.

These wolves that they had killed were only E Rank Monsters and this was a D Rank Dungeon.

The monsters that would be further in were without a doubt much stronger than these wolves and they had already struggled this much with these wolves.

If it wasn't for the fact that Lin Fan had been guiding them…they might have already been taken out by the wolves.

Once they realized this, they all turned to look at him.

When I saw them looking at me like this, I couldn't help shaking my head with a sigh. Then I said, "Do you remember what I said? Will you still follow it to the end?"

All of them tilted their head for a moment before suddenly realizing what I meant.

They looked at each other hesitantly before slowly giving nods. Even Hayato who had acted the most aggressively towards me agreed to this.

That was because they had to admit that what he had done had helped them. It was only because of his advice that they had been able to take care of the wolves.

Of course, the advice that I had given them was only the most basics on cooperating.

It would have been even easier to take down the wolves if I had all four of them working together, but I knew that wasn't possible yet. These kids still didn't understand the concept of teamwork, so they wouldn't have been able to do it.

I had to let them get a taste of it before they would be willing to work on it.

After getting their approval, I turned to look at the handlers on the side.

They all nodded to show their agreement without any hesitation.

But I wasn't surprised by this at all.

After all, these handlers had been watching from the side the entire time.

It was clear that they weren't surprised by how this situation had developed and had even expected this.

These handlers were staff members that had been with Elementia for a long time, so they had actual experience unlike these kids. Most likely, they also had the records of what I've been through before, so they knew what role I played here…

Still, since they were going along, it made things easier.

With that, I called them all over and started asking each of them what their abilities were.

While I had a general idea of what abilities they had, I didn't know the specifics since they never told me.

I could have just looked at their cards, but I knew that wouldn't give me all the information that I wanted. Human ingenuity was powerful and people would find new ways to use their power.

So I wanted to hear from them how they could use their powers.

After explaining all of their powers, they all turned to look at me as if they were expecting something.

I revealed a smile since I could guess what they were thinking, so I gave them a simple explanation of my power.

"Suggestion?" They all said at the same time with confused looks.

But then Blaze suddenly said, "Wait, was it you that helped me earlier?"

I just gave a simple nod.

Blaze muttered to himself, "Haste is a powerful spell that increases one's movement speed by 20%, but the suggestion that you gave me…increased my speed even more than that. Just how is that possible?"

All of them looked at me with shocked looks after hearing this.

I shook my head with a smile before saying, "Don't be too quick to come to a conclusion, there's still one more thing to consider."

They all revealed confused looks before Blaze suddenly bent over in pain. While he bent over, he said, "What is this?"

I just calmly said, "My power allows you to break through the limits of your body, but those are the limits for a reason. If I use my powers on you for a long time, your body definitely won't be able to hold out under my suggestion."

Blaze revealed a bitter smile when he heard this.

He could feel the pain that filled his body, so he knew that Lin Fan was telling the truth.

Seeing him like this, I gave a satisfied nod before turning to Qin Yue Ru to say, "Heal him. We still need him."

She gave a simple nod before coming forward. She raised her staff towards him and softly said, "Heal."

There was a faint light that appeared around Blaze and when it was done, he stood up without a problem. He moved his body around a bit before turning to Qin Yue Ru with a smile, "Thanks, it feels just like new."

Qin Yue Ru gave a nod with a smile on her face, but if one looked closely…they could see a bit of a different emotion in her eyes.

After seeing that he was healed up, I said, "Alright, gather around and let's talk about our new formation."

The kids followed my orders and came over, but as they listened to what I had to say,  their expressions became more and more strange.

In the end, we set off once more, heading into the depths of the dungeon.
