I Became the Demon King of Lust

I didn't know why there was this aura here, but I knew that it wouldn't be here for no reason.

I just didn't expect to find the aura of another demon king so soon…

After all, there were no mentions of any demon kings until now and in just a few days, I had found traces of two of them.

One was with the Long Family and the second one was in this dungeon.

Just what did the demon king do here?

Just what did whichever demon king do this for?

Was it because they had some kind of plan or was it just because it was done on a whim.

I had no idea, but I was going to find out.

After all, there was a thought that was in the back of my mind.

It was what Lilith had said before.

There were different demon kings, but that didn't mean that every demon king would work with each other. It was very likely that demon kings would even fight each other based on what kind of demon kings they were.

So I wanted to find more information about this demon king before they could find information about me.

After a short meeting, we went out towards the wall that had been set up.

As we walked towards it, Long Shui Ling raised her hand and created an illusion around us so that we would be perceived as monsters.

Hopefully, this would allow us to get through the walls.

This might not have worked if the monsters were acting normal, but since they were showing signs of intelligence…that meant that it was possible to fool them.

And it was only possible because of the abilities of me and Long Shui Ling.

After we reached the wall, there was silence that followed.

Not a single mummy came out to confront us as we stood there in front of the wall.

That was the only thing that I hadn't thought about when coming up with this plan.

I didn't think about what would happen if we were just ignored by them.

After standing there awkwardly for a bit, I went forward and reached out towards the wall. I placed a hand on it and as soon as I did, there were a bunch of mummies that suddenly appeared with bows in hand.

All of the bows that they had were pointed right at us.

But after they pointed their bows at us, there was a moment of hesitation from the mummies.

They lowered their bows a bit as if they didn't know whether they should be aiming them or not. Then after a while, one of them suddenly said, "Rrrsgsd."

It sounded like nonsense moaning, but the way that it said it seemed like there was a meaning behind these words.

It just stood there waiting for us to respond after moaning like this.

The others all looked at me with worried looks, but I wasn't worried at all. Rather, this was what I had been waiting for the entire time.

After all, this now showed that they had intelligence. It was basic intelligence, but it was intelligence nonetheless and that meant that there was the possibility of communicating with these mummies.

If there was the possibility of communicating with these mummies, then there was the possibility of my plan working.

So I raised my hand to stop the rest of them from saying anything before looking up at the mummy that had just moaned and said, "Msmamrs."

It sounded like nonsense moaning because it was nonsense moaning.

I naturally had no idea what the mummies were saying, but that didn't matter since there was a different reason for me to do this.

That reason was…that I was using my Suggestion ability while talking to them.

The Suggestion ability would only work on those with intelligence, but if it did work, I could make them think that they were hearing what they wanted to hear even if I didn't have any ideas on what they were saying.

There was a tense silence that followed after I made this moaning sound as we all waited to see how the mummies would react.

The mummies just didn't do a thing as they stood there on the wall, looking down at us.

The most important thing was that not a single one of them put their bows away.

It was a very tense moment as we waited to see if the plan worked or not.

But in the end, the mummy that had spoken gave another moan, "Tersgertes."

Then the other mummies pulled their bows back up and away from us.

When we saw this, we all let out a secret sigh of relief. However, none of us dared to let our guards down until we saw exactly what the mummies would do.

There were a few of them that suddenly disappeared that made us feel worried, but that was quickly resolved when they brought something back.

The mummies that had left suddenly came back with this long thing that they were carrying. They came right where we were standing and then brought this long thing down.

The others behind me wanted to move back when they saw this, but I raised my hand to stop them from moving.

So we just waited for the dust to settle in front of us to reveal what this thing was.

It was a ladder.

That was what they had brought out for us.

But that made sense when one thought about it.

After all, there were no gates to this makeshift wall.

I had wondered how they had gotten onto this makeshift wall in the first place, but it seemed like they had used this ladder.

After they put the ladder down, the mummies looked at us as if they were waiting for something from us.

It was clear what they wanted by taking out this ladder, so there was only one thing that we could do.

I took the lead and stepped onto the ladder, climbing up the wall.

The rest of the group looked at each other before following me up the wall.
