I Became the Demon King of Lust

The next morning, it was time for the round of four.

There were only two matches today, so it wasn't as rushed as before.

At the same time, since the tournament was coming to a close, they were trying to show off as much as possible.

So instead of rushing to hold the matches, they held the matches separately.

There was one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

In between those matches were a bunch of different acts that would serve to entertain the crowd while also promoting different things. There were promotions for different products, companies, and even the large guilds themselves.

However, since these promotions were flashy, people were happy to watch them.

It was already close to noon when the first fight began.

It was Tammy versus Ares.

My match with Julius was being held in the afternoon.

When she was about to head onto the stage, I found that Tammy suddenly came to my room.

She stood there in front of me and said, "I'm going now."

I was very confused why she would do this, but I just gave a nod and said, "Be careful, don't let your guard down."

She just said with a smile, "I won't. I'll definitely win."

I was even more confused seeing her acting this way, but I didn't think too much about it since I didn't think that there would be a problem with her fight.

And I was right.

It was a completely one sided fight.

Ares was powerful, but…he didn't have the right things to deal with Tammy.

It was a complete mismatch when it came to powers as he was a physical attacking Awakener while Tammy was an elemental power Awakener.

With how powerful her flames were, Ares wasn't able to approach her at all and was completely pushed back by her flames.

He soon found himself completely surrounded in these flames with nowhere to go.

It seemed that the fight was about to be over, but…

Ares suddenly turned red.

This was something that had never happened before, but it seemed that he had been holding back his power the entire time. This was a final trump card that he had never used until this very fight.

At the same time, he pulled out this seemingly strange looking red club that worked with his new power.

When he swung out with that red club, it completely scattered the flames that were around him.

He had finally gained the power to fight back against Tammy's flames, so one might think that he stood a chance.

But it turned out that Tammy had also been holding back.

Even though she had been fighting at the same level as her other matches, it turned out that she had been holding back.

The only time that she had been serious was in her fight with Bing Xin, but even then, it seemed that everyone had underestimated her.

Her flames…suddenly became stronger.

They became as strong as when she used her final attack against Bing Xin.

It turned out that the final attack that she used against Bing Xin was actually a state that she was able to maintain, it wasn't a one time thing that used all of her power. This was her new elevated level of power.

Drawing on the Inferno Gem, she was able to create these powerful flames endlessly.

Even if he could scatter the flames previously, Ares found that his power was completely useless against these new flames.

It turned out that even when he used his final trump cards, he still fell short.

He was able to keep the flames at bay for a bit until he suddenly turned back to normal.

That red hue that had appeared on his body disappeared and he was back to his normal state.

That red hue was only a temporary final buff, so he was actually weaker after that red hue disappeared.

When that happened and he was surrounded by flames, Ares had no choice but to give up.

That was how the first fight of the day ended.

But I didn't feel that way since there was another fight for me before my fight this afternoon.

While everyone was excited about how powerful Tammy was, she didn't care at all about this as she came to find me.

Standing there in front of me, she leaned her head in and said, "Pat my head."

I was completely caught off guard by this sudden request of hers.

I looked at her with a very strange look before asking, "What's going on here?"

She looked up at me for a bit and said, "I did good in my fight, so I want a reward. Pat me on the head and praise me."

I could only reveal an awkward look when I saw her like this, especially since the other girls were here.

But to my surprise, I found that they actually agreed to this.

They looked at me and gave nods before revealing encouraging looks like they wanted me to do this.

I couldn't help feeling even more confused seeing this.

I would have rather fought a hundred dungeon bosses than be in this situation, but it seemed that I really had no choice.

After all, no matter how I tried rejecting her, it didn't seem like she was going to give up.

So in the end, I had no choice but to pat Tammy on the head and said, "Good job."

It was the bare minimum, but it was enough to make her look at me with a bright smile.

The more that they acted this way, the stranger that I felt.

It all felt like there was something wrong with this situation…almost as if I was being manipulated to a certain extent…

But I was pulled out of my thoughts when Julius came over and said, "Brother, let's put on a good show this afternoon."

I was surprised to hear this, but I quickly said with a nod, "Right, let's put on a good show."

It seemed like Julius was finally motivated to fight.

That alleviated a bit of the strange feeling that I had that something was wrong.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
