I Became the Demon King of Lust

There were looks that were exchanged between Awakener groups.

Eventually, there were meetings that were called between Awakener groups.

There were small meetings that were called at first as those that were familiar with each other met to discuss the matter of the beast wave. Discover stories at empire

But they knew that this was far from enough to deal with all of these beasts.

So through mutual acquaintances, eventually all of the Awakeners were gathered in a single meeting.

That included our group.

It was through someone that invited both Alex and Julius.

As for us, we didn't really get invited since we weren't that close to any of the other guilds.

If it wasn't for Alex and Julius proposing this alliance, we would have most likely been wandering this dungeon all by ourselves.

For this large meeting, it was only the representatives of each group that came. However, even with just the representatives meeting, there were over fifty different people that were gathered.

That just went to show how many people had been participating in this tournament in the first place, as well as showing how much prestige could be gained from this tournament that so many people signed up for it.

When we all gathered, no one really said anything as they all warily looked at each other.

This was the first time that most of us were meeting each other and we were all competitors with each other, so it was hard for everyone to accept each other that easily.

The silence was only broken when Tammy suddenly came forward to say, "Which one of you stole the mutated Salamander from us?"

The moment that she said this, everyone looked at Tammy with surprised looks.

After all, not a single person had expected her to suddenly say this.

However, there also wasn't a single person that said a thing.

They could see the look that was on Tammy's face, so they knew that whatever this was about, it wasn't a good thing.

Not to mention, there were quite a few of them that had gone with Tammy to fight the mutated Salamander. So they also wanted to see if anyone would admit to taking it from them.

As for our group, we acted like we didn't know anything.

I was certainly surprised to hear her suddenly ask this, but of course I wouldn't throw myself into the flames. Alex and Julius also understood this, so they all revealed calm looks of surprise.

I also made sure to look at Long Shui Ling just in case.

If anything happened, we might need her illusion to get away.

After all, there was no reason for Tammy to suddenly ask this unless…she had some ideas of who it was.

Tammy saw that no one came forward to say anything, so her eyes swept over everyone here.

After a long moment of silence, Tammy said, "I'm not angry about what happened. I just want to know if you received something special from killing the mutated Salamander that might trigger this event."

When she said this, I couldn't help feeling a bit strange.

That was because I couldn't help finding myself agreeing with her.

I had completely missed this since I was worried that she had figured out something, but it seemed that Tammy had been thinking rationally.

However, I also knew that it was impossible for it to be the item that the mutated Salamander dropped that caused this. If it was, they wouldn't have swarmed this cave and would have swarmed us instead.

Not to mention, the item that had been dropped had already been put into the Storage Ring.

The Storage Ring's space was a separated dimension, so it was impossible for any of its aura to leak out. So it was impossible for the item that had been dropped to cause this.

The item that was dropped was a scale of the mutated Salamander, so that was possible that they were drawn by it.

Could it be that there was something that they had missed when they rushed to leave that cave?

Perhaps there was another scale that dropped that had caused the beasts to gather like this?

It was a mutated beast, so there must be something special about it.

This something special would draw in the other beasts that also wanted to become stronger, which could explain the beast wave.

As these thoughts passed through my mind, I maintained a calm look on my face.

I looked over at Alex and Julius and both of them had the same calm looks.

It seemed that both of them agreed that we should still remain silent about this even if the information that we had would help everyone.

Seeing that no one came forward still, Tammy gave a sigh and said, "Then I guess we have to do this without any information."

She went back to the Sol Warriors and didn't say anything else.

The others all looked at each other with wary looks, as if they were trying to figure out if any of the others were the ones that Tammy had mentioned before.

However, not a single person said a thing or was able to discover anything.

There were some gazes that were cast in our direction, but they also didn't find anything since we had calm looks on our faces.

After a long silence, there was a blonde haired young man that came forward.

This was a handsome blonde haired young man with hair that wasn't too long and eyes that were as blue as the clearest water.

He was dressed completely in white and there seemed to be a book in his hand.

When one looked at it closely, they saw that this was the bible that he was holding.

After coming forward, this blonde haired young man said, "Everyone, let's not worry about this right now. Let's talk about how we should handle this situation in front of us."

As soon as he came forward, he started trying to take control of the situation.

That made everyone slightly knit their brows.

But in the end, no one said anything against it.
