I Became the Demon King of Lust

We were called back into work the next morning.

We should have been given a day off since we had just finished raiding a dungeon the day before, but we had received a message that we were being called in.

When Su Chen came to pick me up, I asked him what was happening.

All he said was, "I have no idea."

He explained that all he had heard was that there was a special announcement being made, which was why we had all been called in.

When he said 'we', he didn't just mean our dungeon raiding group.

When he said 'we', he meant all of the dungeon raiding groups that were affiliated with Elementia.

Other than the ones that were doing large scale raids that couldn't be cancelled quickly, everyone else had been called to headquarters.

When we arrived, I couldn't help being surprised by just how many Awakeners there were.

I knew that Elementia was one of the biggest guilds in the world, but for it to be this big…

It really was an eye opener.

And of course, with a gathering of this many people, it was hard for tensions not to flare.

It was clear that there were grudges between the different dungeon raiding groups.

Especially the main big ones.

They clearly had some kind of rivalry with each other, but that was to be expected since they were the main dungeon raiding forces. They were expected to be better than everyone else and create results that spoke for themselves.

But that wasn't all that I had noticed.

I saw that in the corners of this lobby, there were different groups that were gathered.

I knew a few people from these groups from my daily interactions.

These were the supporters of Elementia.

These were the medics, the porters, the butchers, and all the different support staff that did the work behind the scenes.

This wasn't just a gathering of Awakeners, this was a complete gathering of all the staff of Elementia.

So whatever the announcement was, it wouldn't be a normal announcement…

This might be an announcement that involved the fate of Elementia itself.

As for what it could be, I had some clues…

After this thought passed through my mind, I quickly met up with the others.

In our group, there were quite a few people with large personalities. If they were to cause trouble before I could stop them, then it would be bad for us in the future.

Most of these people could be considered our seniors, so it would be bad if we caused trouble with them.

Luckily, they were aware of this and they had moved into a corner to keep out of the way. They even seemed like they were doing all that they could to not draw attention to themselves.

It seemed that I had underestimated them.

They at least had the prudence not to cause trouble.

But when I came over, I realized why this was the case.

They were still kids.

I had been treating them as adults since we had been working together, but they were still kids according to their age.

It was normal that they were shaken by things like this.

It was only Long Shui Ling who seemed normal in all of this.

But she was the young miss of the Long Group, so she should be used to crowds like this.

Since they were well behaved, there was nothing for me to say.

We just stood in our corner waiting for the announcement to begin.

As we stood there, I saw a familiar face in the crowd.

It was Bing Xin, she was also here.

She was with a group of people that I didn't recognize, but I assumed that was most likely the team that she normally raided dungeons with.

She also saw me and waved her hand in our direction.

Both Long Shui Ling and I waved back at her.

As we did, I couldn't help being surprised by Long Shui Ling's reaction.

Long Shui Ling was very prone to jealousy, as seen with what happened with Claire.

However, she didn't seem averse to Bing Xin.

They had only met once and it seemed like they were already good friends.

Just what was the difference between Claire and Bing Xin that Long Shui Ling treated them so differently?

I didn't get to think about that for long as the doors to a conference room suddenly opened and the crowd started to move.

The handlers were the ones that guided the various Awakeners and support staff to the seats.

Our seats were way in the back, but that was normal since we were new recruits.

Everyone else here has been here much longer than we have.

When everyone was seated, the host said, "Thank you everyone for gathering today. We have some important news to share with everyone."

He turned after saying this and there was a spotlight that appeared. Under that spotlight was naturally Bing Lan.

The host said, "We'll let the guild leader tell you everything."

Bing Lan gave a nod to the host before walking up to the podium.

She took the mic, but she didn't start speaking right away.

Instead, she pointed at the screen behind here.

When she did, there was a picture that appeared on that screen.

For most people, they were confused about what this picture was. But for the people that knew, they immediately knitted their brows.

As for me, I was one of the few that knew what this picture was.

This was a picture of the entrance to the SS Rank Dungeon, the Tower of Heaven.

As the name implied, it was an actual tower that had appeared on Earth one day with a dungeon gate as an entrance.

This was also the SS Rank Dungeon that we had been competing with Amaterasu for.

After giving everyone a moment to settle down, Bing Lan said, "We have been given permission to scout out the SS Rank Dungeon, the Tower of Heaven."

There were only the sounds of cold breaths of air that followed.
