I Became the Demon King of Lust

There was no one that said a word, there were even people that were holding their breath as if they couldn't believe what had just happened.

It had happened so fast that it almost seemed like a dream, but this scene in front of them didn't change when they pinched themselves.

It was true, I had defeated Zhao Kui in just a single move.

After another bit of silence, the serious looking examiner finally said, "Lin Fan is the victor."

The only one that clapped after this was Long Shui Ling.

But I didn't mind that I didn't receive any applause from this crowd.

I just simply gave a nod and then left the stage to return to my seat.

What I didn't know was just how much of a stir I had caused among the examiners.

"Not only can he buff, he can even debuff?"

"You all saw it, he can even cause nausea like that with a single command!"

"Why didn't you tell us about this earlier!"

The last comment was aimed at Elliot who just had a bitter smile on his face when he heard this.

The simple reason…he didn't know either.

"The puppet only provided a simple test for basic abilities, it didn't do any further tests for other abilities. It isn't as if he would be able to use this kind of debuff on a puppet, would he?"

After some thought, they had to admit that he was right.

And they weren't able to see what he had done in the dungeon, so they wouldn't have learned about it even if he had used it in the dungeon.

So they couldn't really blame Elliot for not knowing…

Still, they chose to tease him still.

Part of it was to play with him and part of it was because they had nothing else that they could do.

This was the only way that they could vent their shock and frustration.

If only he wasn't already in Elementia…

Still, they couldn't change that fact so they could only vent.

After returning to my seat, Long Shui Ling once again took her spot by my side and she held my arm with a happy smile on her face.

But that didn't last long since it was her turn to fight next.

The one that she was fighting was the magical girl, Chelsea.

She had met the young man with the pompadour, Andrew, in the quarterfinals and he had given up without a fight which she was clearly upset with, but that didn't stop him from doing it.

So now she was the one that was facing Long Shui Ling.

When the two of them stood there on the stage, they both looked at each other with respect.

Long Shui Ling respected her since she knew that she was different from Zhao Kui. She knew that she had been forced to follow him, but she actually had skills to back up her position.

Chelsea respected Long Shui Ling since not only was she in second place, she had seen the power that she had used against the others.

Since both of them respected each other, this wouldn't be a fight where there was any dirt to it.

This would be a clean fight.

After a long silence, both of them saluted each other before the serious looking examiner said, "Begin."

The moment that the serious looking man's voice fell, Chelsea suddenly raised her wand and pointed it at Long Shui Ling.

As she did, she muttered under her breath, "Sulfur."

Then there was the smell of rotten eggs that appeared in the air around Long Shui Ling.

She had already seen this before, so she knew exactly what was happening, but she didn't move at all.

Chelsea hesitated for a second when she saw this, but then she said, "You're already surrounded, I can blow you up at any moment. As long as you surrender, I'll release it right now."

The crowd was surprised to hear this since they couldn't see or smell the sulfur gas, but they knew that something was off with how Long Shui Ling didn't move at all.

But Long Shui Ling just revealed a smile before disappearing.

Chelsea was shocked to see this, but she could already guess what was happening.

It was an illusion.

She had already seen Long Shui Ling use this enough that she was able to tell exactly when the illusion started.

So she pointed her wand forward and was about to ignite the sulfur.

She didn't believe that Long Shui Ling would be able to escape the range of the sulfur gas in time, so she knew that it would work even if she couldn't see her.

But before she could ignite it, there were several figures that appeared in front of her.

"This…" Chelsea said before slowly lowering her wand.

As the crowd watched Chelsea stand there in place, they couldn't understand what was happening.

But from time to time, she would say some things.

"No, it's not true!"

"It's just that…"

"I swear, it's the truth."

Finally, she broke down and started crying as she fell to her knees.

It seemed that her will to fight had been completely broken.

It was also at that time that Long Shui Ling suddenly appeared out of thin air.

She walked over to Chelsea and slowly helped her up, while also comforting her by telling her that everything she saw wasn't real.

Long Shui Ling then leaned in and whispered something that seemed to make a blush appear on Chelsea's face.

The two of them talked about something in low voices for a bit before Long Shui Ling took out a piece of paper that she handed over to Chelsea.

Chelsea had a look of confusion, but she still took the piece of paper in the end.

After that, they separated and left the stage in different directions.

The serious looking examiner gave a sigh and said, "The winner is Long Shui Ling."
