I Became the Demon King of Lust

When the flames scattered and the dust settled, the snow had disappeared.

I was standing there on the ground and behind me was the burnt corpse of the Snow Woman.

She had tried her best to block those flames that were coming from the ceiling while also dealing with me, but the flames came too quickly. The Snow Woman had no choice but to focus on the flames that were coming at her.

But how was she supposed to stop them?

Even when she gathered all of her snow and ice powers, she wasn't able to stop the flames in the end.

So all that was left was the burnt corpse of the Snow Woman.

Though thanks to the Snow Woman, I was able to block the damage that came from the flames.

In fact, I had been partly frozen because of the Snow Woman and that actually helped me block some of the flames that went past her. The rest were blocked by the blue gem that Bing Xin gave me.

However, if it wasn't for the fact that most of the flames were blocked by the Snow Woman's power in the first place, I wouldn't be standing here right now.

The most important thing was that…the door to the next floor opened up with the same timer.

With one leg, it was hard to get over to the portal, but I was able to make it over in the end.

Looking back at the Snow Woman, I let out a sigh of relief before walking through into the portal.

…

The twenty fifth floor, that was the floor that I was about to step into.

Ever since beating the Snow Woman, I had been steadily making progress through these floors.

The eleventh to fifteenth floors, it had a gimmick just like the sixth to tenth floors.

The gimmick of the sixth to tenth floors were the terrain fields that the enemies could take advantage of.

The gimmick of the eleventh to fifteenth were large numbers of enemies.

There were goblins on the eleventh floor just like the first and sixth floor, but there were so many goblins that it was an entire tribe. There were over a hundred goblins that I had to fight and there was even a hobgoblin that was leading them.

Still, they weren't a match for me.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But when it came to large amounts of higher ranked monsters, that was a bit harder.

However, the designer of this trial wouldn't make it impossible.

They would include a way for the contestant to beat this round.

The method that they gave was…once again a special array that had an effect.

Taking advantage of this, I was able to take down all of the monsters that came at me.

Even the two A Ranked Monsters that appeared on the fifteenth floor.

There was another special gimmick for the sixteenth to twentieth floors.

Then there was another special gimmick for the twenty first to twenty fourth floors.

This gimmick was the addition of traps.

There were various traps that were scattered around the rooms that would randomly trigger.

I had to avoid all of those traps while still fighting the monster in front of me.

If it wasn't for the increased speed, I might have really been unable to keep up.

In the end, I was able to pass all of those floors and reach this twenty fifth floor.

But the moment that I stepped onto the twenty fifth floor, I knew that this place was different.

This aura that hit me in the face was much stronger than the aura of any other A Ranked Monster that I faced in this trial. In fact, it seemed more like the aura that I encountered when I met the guild master.

Could it be that…

"Roar!"

As soon as this cry rang out, I immediately realized what this was.

It was a sound that I had heard before during the first round.

It was the same cry that the dungeon boss of the first round had.

It was a dragon.

But this time, it wasn't a young dragon.

This was a fully developed dragon, which meant that this was a S Ranked Monster that was at its peak that I was facing.

This was not something that I could defeat, or even have a chance of fighting.

So I couldn't help shaking my head with a bitter smile on my face as I thought, "Isn't this a bit too much?"

Still, I didn't panic since there was a plan B that I could use.

I could always just use the token that I had been holding onto.

This token was something that would allow me to skip five levels and so far, I had only used it once for the fifth floor. For the other floors, I had used my own power to break through and I had been able to defeat those A Ranked Monsters on my own.

Though to defeat them, I had to exploit the things that had been included in the design of these trials, but that was what they were there for in the first place.

This floor with the S Ranked Monster, that seemed like the best place to use such a thing.

But I didn't use it as soon as I came into the room since…there was something that I wanted with the S Ranked dragon.

I had found that it was very good training fighting against these A Ranked Monsters.

The different situations that I had been put in had given me many new experiences, giving me experience that I could use in the future.

There was no doubt that this would make me much stronger.

So along the way, I had started to see this as training rather than taking a trial.

It was the same for this S Ranked dragon.

Eventually, I would have to fight S Ranked Monsters.

However, unlike this place where it was just a trial, I could actually die in the real world.

So wasn't it better to test myself against the S Ranked dragon?

Taking a deep breath, I looked at the dragon and said, "I'll be counting on you."
