I Became the Demon King of Lust

When I appeared in the next room, I had been fully expecting to be hit with a large wave of energy.

I was expecting to be completely suppressed by what was in this room since I thought there would be a S Ranked Monster here.

However, that didn't seem to be the case.

When I appeared in the room, I couldn't help feeling that it was a bit dim.

It was as if there was something that was covering the light that was coming from above.

When I looked up, I found that there was indeed something that was covering this light.

It was the foliage from a bunch of trees.

Then when I took the time to look around, I found that I was completely surrounded by the trees that the foliage came from. I found that I was in the center of what seemed to be a forest.

I was no longer in the same room that I had been in previously.

But the problem was…where was the enemy that I had to fight?

There were only ten minutes here and I couldn't even see the end of this forest, so how was I supposed to find the enemies like this?

Or at least that was what I thought until I heard some rustling in the bushes in front of me.

I quickly pulled out the sword and pointed it in that direction, as I waited for whatever was coming to come out. However, it didn't seem like there was anything coming out of those bushes.

There was only a rustling sound that came from it before everything went silent.

If I hadn't heard it clearly, I might have even thought that I was imagining it.

But I knew that I heard the sound of rustling, so I knew that there must be someone or something who was currently stalking me. Though I wasn't able to make out just what it was that was there around me.

I couldn't even sense an aura from these things.

It was as if they had completely hidden themselves as part of the forest, making them invisible to anyone else.

"Hmm, so that's the way that you want to play, is it?" I said under my breath before slowly pulling out something from my Storage Ring.

I put this thing on the sword before saying, "Faster and stronger."

As soon as I said this, I swung out in front of me with the sword in one clean arc.

The sword that was swept out cut right through the trees that were in front of me, cleanly cutting right through the trunks. But at the same time, there were flames that were created the moment that the sword cut through the air.

These flames seemed to come out of nowhere as they streaked through the air.

The trees that had been cut were lit on fire and then flew out in front of me.

As they flew through the air, the flames from the trees started spreading in all directions.

Since this was a forest, there was plenty of timber for these flames as the surrounding trees also caught on fire. The fire quickly spread through these trees and it didn't take long before the whole forest around me was covered in flames.

Just like this, I had set the entire forest ablaze.

I could hear the screams of pain and panic that were coming from around me after the forest was lit on fire like this, but there was still a problem.

I was also right in the center of the flames.

Though I had blown them back with the slash of my sword just now, it would only be a matter of time before the flames reached me.

After all, there was still grass that was under my feet that could bring the flames to me.

The only way to stop this was to find some way to block the flames.

But I didn't panic when I saw the flames coming closer to me.

Instead, I took out a stone that I placed over my sword.

Before putting the stone on the sword, I quickly ripped off the remains of the flame talisman, causing the flames around the sword to disappear. Then once those flames were gone, I put the stone on the talisman.

There was a chill that appeared around the sword as a layer of ice appeared around the stone, freezing it to the sword.

Only when it was stuck to the sword like this did I suddenly swing out with the sword again.

The moment that I did, there was ice that formed in the air before forming a wall of ice all around me. This wall of ice completely separated me from the flames that were all around me.

Once this ice separated me from those flames, I could feel the temperature dropping.

"Ah, now it feels much better." I said to myself as I casually put my sword down and waited for the sounds around me to disappear.

I could hear the screams of pain and panic, I could hear the sounds of something hitting the ice wall around me, I could hear the flames crackling as they burned strong.

But I ignored all of this as I casually waited for all these sounds to disappear.

Though from time to time, I did have to lift the sword and swing it again to replace the ice that had been melted.

When the sounds finally disappeared, I released the ice wall that was around me.

As I did, I couldn't help looking at the gem that was on the sword.

This was a Frost Gem that Bing Xin gave me, which I never thought that I would need to use.

However, I was very grateful that she had given it to me or else I wouldn't have had the confidence to do this. It would have been much harder for me to clear this stage if it wasn't for this Frost Gem.

When the ice wall disappeared, I saw the portal with the timer in front of me.
