I Became the Demon King of Lust

After putting that note in her pocket, Tammy knew that there was no reason for them to stay here any longer. Experience new stories on empire

With a wave of her hand, she said, "Let's go."

The other members of the Sol Warriors were surprised since she had just told them to heal up just now before telling them that they were leaving. However, they didn't question her as they just followed behind her, leaving this cave.

There were still a few people that remained, but when the majority of them saw that even Tammy and the Sol Warriors were leaving, they didn't stay here any longer.

One of the groups that stayed was Diablo and his group of cloaked figures.

They just stood on the side and watched as the Awakeners kept digging in vain, trying to find the lizards.

But no matter how much they tried digging, they weren't able to find a single lizard that was hiding in the dirt.

Eventually, all of them gave up with defeated looks on their faces.

It seemed that their spirits were crushed by the fact that they weren't able to find anything, so they just left this cave in search of other opportunities.

The only ones that didn't leave was Diablo's group.

They just stood there on the side of the cave, watching as these other groups dug.

When these groups left, they couldn't help looking at Diablo's group with strange looks, as if they were suspicious of them. But they still left without saying anything to them since they knew that their time was short.

They didn't have time to waste on a place that didn't have any points for them to collect.

Once the last group left, Diablo suddenly said, "It seems that kids really are impatient these days. We led them here and they just don't have the patience to wait for the prize."

He turned to one of the cloaked figures and asked, "How long has passed?"

That person took out what seemed to be a strange phone that had a timer on it and said, "Thirty four minutes, on the dot."

"So there's another twenty six minutes left before it happens." Diablo said while stroking his chin. Then with a sigh he said, "Kids really are impatient these days."

The other cloak figures didn't say anything, but they did shake their heads in sympathy as if they agreed with Diablo.

Their group just waited for another twenty six minutes in this cave.

After those twenty six minutes passed, there was something that started to change in this cave.

There was a rumbling sound that rang out before a part of the cave suddenly collapsed.

This was a part of the cave on one of the walls that suddenly had cracks form in it before breaking down. The part that broke down revealed a hidden compartment in this cave.

This seemed to be some kind of hidden room.

Only when the dust settled did Diablo's group start moving towards that hole in the wall.

They walked right over to it and then stood at the entrance of this hidden room, looking in at the item that was inside.

This hidden room was a very simple room that didn't have much in it.

The walls of the room were completely white, even the roof and floor of this room were completely white. The only thing of note in this room was a pedestal in the center that had something on it.

This thing was a red gem.

This red gem was the scarlet colour of the darkest flames.

Seeing this gem, not a single member of Diablo's group went forward to take it.

Instead, they just stood at the entrance admiring it.

After a long silence, Diablo finally said, "Hmm, since they didn't take it, does that mean that the hidden condition for that event is met?"

The same person who took out the timer earlier gave a nod before saying, "That's right. The energy released by this Inferno Gem left behind will eventually spread to the different parts of this dungeon and incite the beasts to try and find the source. Once that happens, the beast wave will occur and the contestants will be swarmed by the monsters of the dungeon."

Diablo gave a nod, but once again not a single member of their group came forward to take the Inferno Gem to stop this.

After a long silence, Diablo said, "Well, this should be interesting to watch. I never thought that when we led these kids here, this was how it would end."

The others nodded in agreement, but it was clear that they were also excited about this.

The way that they were talking was very suspicious.

It was almost as if they already knew everything that would happen.

And that was because…they did know everything that would happen.

Diablo and his group, they were actually part of the management.

They were the ones that had led all of the contestants to this place on purpose so they would fight the boss and clear this event. But they never expected the contestants to leave this thing here.

After another long silence, another one of their group suddenly asked, "You said that they were impatient, but what about the ones that snuck the kill?"

Diablo gave a chuckle when he heard this before saying, "Well, they were completely surrounded, so I doubt they would have stayed. It was most likely because whatever they used to hide themselves was running out, so they had no choice but to leave."

As he said this, there was a trace of admiration in his voice.

After all, even though they were part of the management and much stronger than most of the contestants, they actually hadn't been able to see through whatever they had used to hide themselves.

It seemed that there were still some impressive contestants out there.

Diablo turned back to look at the red gem in the center of this room and said, "I really can't wait to see what happens next. This will definitely be much more exciting than we planned the first round to be."
