I Became the Demon King of Lust

When I entered the dungeon, the first thing that hit me was a wave of heat.

It was supposed to be fall right now, but that wave of heat hit me like it was the middle of summer.

That was just the environment in this dungeon.

Instead of being a closed dungeon, this was a dungeon that actually had an outside world to it.

Of course, we would never be able to interact with that outside world since there was no way to leave this pyramid, but it was out there with its own weather. That was what was causing the heat in this pyramid.

There was a bright yellow sun hanging there in the sky outside the pyramid.

We could see it through the glass panes of the pyramid which were strangely placed on the walls of this dungeon.

After looking around, I focused on what was in front of us.

The entrance of the dungeon seemed to be at the very base of the pyramid based on what I could see through the window.

And in front of the entrance, there was a large open space with plenty of monsters gathered.

It was just that none of them were coming in this direction.

There seemed to be some line that they couldn't cross in front of us that prevented them from coming over.

This must be the safety zone of the dungeon entrance that was mentioned in the map.

There were no words said as everyone already knew what to do.

The ones led by Tie Gang quickly went forward to sweep the monsters that were wandering around. Our group was considered part of the guards for the supplies team, so we held back and watched over them, just in case any monsters came over.

Of course, with the power of the vanguard team that even had an A Ranker like Tie Gang leading them, that didn't happen.

They swept through any monsters that came close, so they didn't get a chance to approach. In fact, they started from those that were closest, so they could push away those that were near one by one.

While the others watched on in awe, I watched carefully.

The monsters that were in this area were the mummies and scarabs that had been mentioned before.

They acted just like the material had described them, even using the same attacks as written.

So it was easy for the vanguard to take them down.

The scarabs were just giant bugs, so they were quite easy to take care of. The only ones that struggled were those that didn't like bugs, but they quickly adapted to them as professional Awakeners.

The mummies were a bit harder to deal with.

These were monsters that were considered undead, with the tenacity that came with undead monsters.

They wouldn't go down as easily as the scarabs.

Even if they were cut down, as long as they weren't completely destroyed, they wouldn't die.

It had something to do with the unfinished business of the spirits that were used to create these monsters. But if one thought about it, weren't these monsters created by the dungeon?

So where did these spirits come from?

This was one of the unsolved mysteries of the dungeon that had undead type monsters.

But since they were hard to kill, there were only a few ways to take them down.

For these mummies, there were two ways to take care of them.

One was to use enough force that their bodies were completely destroyed and there was no way for them to repair themselves. But that wasn't a method that everyone could use since they were quite tenacious.

It took a lot of power just to destroy these mummies completely.

The second method was…fire.

Since they were undead, they shared the same weakness as other undead which was that they were weak against fire. Just contact with fire would cause their bodies to start burning and burn away.

Any part of them that was burnt by flames would be turned to ashes and wouldn't regenerate over time.

So flames were the only way to make sure that they stayed dead.

There was also a third way, but it was too rare to use.

It was the holy attribute.

If one had holy attribute attacks, they would be able to exorcise the undead.

But the holy attribute was a very rare one and few Awakeners had it.

So it was more reliable to use the common flame attribute.

As such, everyone that was currently fighting the mummies was using some kind of fire attack.

As for how they were doing that, it was because we had all been distributed fire magic items before entering the dungeon.

It was included in the supplies that we had received.

There were fire staves, fire orbs for embedding into weapons, and all kinds of different things.

As for me, I received a bunch of talismans that I could put on my weapon to imbue with a fire element.

I could have used the fire orbs as well, but there was no time to create a socket on my sword. This sword of mine was a nature element sword in the first place, so it would have clashed with the fire energy of the fire orb.

So the best choice were these talismans that only wrapped the sword up in fire energy.

It didn't take long for the vanguard to create a path for us.

Once they had secured this path, Tie Gang turned around and waved his hand at the rest of us before saying, "Let's go!"

As soon as he said this, I waved my hand at our group and said, "We're going in!"

The rest of our group quickly followed behind me and we charged out down the path. We ran for a bit before stopping midway through and securing the sides while those from the vanguard that had been securing the sides suddenly charged forward.

This was the plan, to use the left and right flanks to guard the path while the vanguard cleared out the area in front of us.

The central flank would be guarding the supply team as they ran down this path.

We would take this path all of the way to the first safe zone where we would set up the camp.

As soon as we took over, it was our turn to fight these mummies and scarabs.
