I Became the Demon King of Lust

Everyone looked in the direction that this voice came from and they saw that it was Tammy who spoke.

Michael immediately knitted his brows when he heard this since she was the last person that he wanted to deal with.

She had already shown her power, so she had already established her prestige that could rival his. At the same time, she was from the Sol Warriors which was a guild that went against his Deus Mecum guild.

So there was no doubt that Tammy would be against him.

As he expected, she said, "If he doesn't want to go, no one can force him."

She stated this calmly like she was just saying something, but the firm tone in her voice made it seem like a fact. It was as if she would defend this person if anyone tried to force him to go.

Hearing this, that person with the Clone ability revealed a grateful look before moving closer to Tammy and her group.

Seeing this, Michael couldn't help revealing an ugly look as he realized that he had just shot himself in the foot.

Tammy had waited for him to do all of this before stepping up to help that person. In this way, she would make it seem like he was against him and that she was helping him.

She had used him as a tool to gain the trust of this person with the Clone ability.

When he had been used like this, Michael couldn't help feeling annoyed, but he quickly forced that feeling down since he knew that getting angry now wouldn't be of any use. He knew that he had to do something to salvage this situation, or his position would get much worse. Explore more adventures at empire

After all, he had tried to use pressure to force that person to go and that had hurt his reputation since he had stated that he wouldn't force anyone to do anything. It was clear by the way that the others looked at him that they no longer trusted him like before.

So he had to say something to calm the situation down.

Michael took a deep breath and forced down the anger that he was feeling before forcing a smile onto his face.

He looked at the person that he had been trying to force to go forward before and calmly said, "I apologize if I came off a bit forceful, it was the stress from the situation that made me act irrationally. I hope that we can move past this and still work together."

The person with the Clone ability looked at him with a look of disdain before giving a snort and turning away.

Though he was more than capable of turning him down, this person didn't do so since he knew that this was a bad idea.

Right now, they were in a dangerous place, a place where they needed to work with each other.

If he really turned down Michael's apology, the tense situation would go from bad to worse.

So even if he didn't like it, he had to accept that they would still be working together.

But from now on, he would remain near Tammy since he could tell that she was able to suppress him. At the same time, it was clear that Tammy was the one that most people were choosing to follow because of all that she had done.

Michael was only the leader in name, but most people would rather follow Tammy than follow Michael.

Once this matter was settled, everyone turned back to looking at the red gem in the middle of the room.

As they looked closely, they could slowly see what had caused the person with the Clone ability to go up in flames earlier.

The large amounts of flame energy right near the red gem created a combustion zone. Anything that could catch on fire that got too close would immediately burst into flames like the person with the Clone ability had.

It seemed that the beasts that were still in this room were avoiding that combustion zone, but it also seemed like they were slowly getting closer.

That was because they were absorbing the fire energy that was coming from the red gem and slowly decreasing that combustion zone. At the same time, they were getting stronger and stronger as shown by the flames that surrounded them, allowing them to resist the fire energy more and more.

It seemed that it would only be a matter of time before they reached the red gem in the center.

It wasn't hard to imagine what would happen if they reached the red gem.

They were already becoming stronger from the fire energy that the red gem released, so they would almost definitely become stronger if they absorbed the red gem directly.

So they had to stop them.

But how?

Tammy had been observing the red gem the entire time instead of looking at the beasts around the red gem.

While the others were still observing the beasts with uncertain looks, Tammy suddenly started moving forward.

As she moved forward, she said to her group from the Sol Warriors, "Don't follow me and watch out for the others."

Without waiting for a response, Tammy walked right up to where the person with the Clone ability had burst into flames earlier.

She was just a single step away from that zone as she stopped.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Taking a deep breath, she took that final step and suddenly burst into flames as well.

But it was different from before.

Instead of being burnt by the flames, the flames seemed to be absorbed by Tammy.

It was as if they were becoming a part of her rather than hurting her.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this and a bit lost as to what to do next.

That was except for me who had a look of deep thought in my eyes when I saw this.

Staring at Tammy absorbing those flames, I slowly had an idea.
