I Became the Demon King of Lust

But it turned out that the person that ran forward hadn't done so in vain.

There was a fluctuation in space near the group that this person belonged to before something came out of that fluctuation in space.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was like something was ripping through the fabrics of space, creating a crack that they came out of.

This was a person.

It wasn't just any person, it was the person that had been burnt in the flames just now.

Once they came out, they rubbed their neck and said, "I never thought that I would use one of my clones so quickly."

I couldn't help being shocked when I saw this before raising the device that Alex had given me before to point at this person.

When I saw the information given, I understood what happened.

Clone.

That was the ability that this person had.

However, it wasn't as overpowered as one might think since it was an A Rank ability that was currently at B Rank.

For now, it only gave this person the ability to form three clones. Or at least that was what the official released description of this power stated, but who knew if this was accurate or not.

It was very likely that they had hidden the real number of clones that they were able to make, but that was understandable. This was their trump card, so it was best for them to keep it hidden if they could.

So it wouldn't be strange if they had understated it in the official description or had bribed someone to change it.

But there was another ability that caught my attention as well.

It was the spatial ability that had been used.

When that clone had come out of the crack in space, it was clear that whoever had caused that crack in space had some kind of spatial attributed ability which was very rare.

I found that it was one of the girls who was in that group.

Her ability was called My Dollhouse.

It was the ability to create a separate subspace inside of the dollhouse that she carried around and to control dolls that were placed inside that dollhouse.

While this didn't seem that powerful, someone with sharp eyes would be able to see the true power of this ability.

It was the part about creating a subspace.

This subspace didn't have a limit on living creatures, so it could carry people inside of it as well.

Paired up with the person with the Clone ability, they could be considered a powerful combo.

The one with the My Dollhouse ability would store the real body of the person with the Clone ability, releasing many different clones that would fight, distract, or do anything else that was necessary.

In short, her ability made the person with the Clone near invincible which made them the perfect combination.

Though the others didn't have the same information as us, they could see that this person that had been turned to ashes by the flames had seemingly come back to life.

Since that was the case, they looked at him as if they were expecting him to go forward again to test for traps.

But that person just stayed with his group and didn't seem like he was going to move forward.

Seeing the way that everyone looked at him, he just ignored them all as he observed the red gem on the pedestal.

Seeing that he wasn't planning on doing anything, Michael suddenly came forward and said, "This brother, since you have the ability to revive, how about you help us scout out the way? We promise that we'll repay you when it's all over."

There were some looks of disdain that were cast in Michael's direction when he said this, but they didn't say anything as they waited for a response from that person.

After all, though he was shameless for asking this, he did what many of them had wanted to do.

This person's ability really was the best way to explore this place.

After a moment of silence, that person gave a snort and said, "Don't you have any shame at all? Why don't you explore by yourself instead of begging someone else?"

Michael ignored the disdain in this person's voice and calmly said, "This brother, you should know how dangerous this place is. This isn't something that we can explore without any caution like you. We already agreed to work together, so don't you think that this is in everyone's best interest?"

That person gave a disdainful laugh as he said, "In everyone's best interests? Alright, let's see some sincerity then. Take out your tokens and let me take your points. If you do, then I'll do it for you."

Michael and the others revealed ugly expressions when they heard this.

But then Michael continued by saying, "This brother, you should know that cooperation is based on trust. You should trust us since this isn't the best place for negotiations like this."

That person gave another snort as he said, "You also said that we're free to do what we wanted and I don't want to. Unless you're planning on forcing me." As he said this, he narrowed his eyes to look at Michael.

Michael also narrowed his eyes to look at this person before looking at the others.

It was as if he was trying to get the crowd behind him to put peer pressure on this person to go.

There were a few that moved over to where he was, but there were many that didn't move.

After all, if they did, it would mean that one of the fundamental clauses of their cooperation would be reversed.

Once this happened, it would mean that they would accept Michael as their leader and he would be able to force them to do things that they didn't want for the 'good of the group'.

So there were people that weren't blinded by benefits and stuck firm.

But there were also many that were on the fence since this person's ability really was best for this.

"Enough."
