I Became the Demon King of Lust

Though this sounded like something good, I couldn't help feeling that there was something wrong with this.

Since the guide had talked to me alone in the white respawn room, I had felt that there was something off about her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It was almost as if she had other intentions talking to me.

As if there was something that she was expecting of me.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the guide didn't care as she waved her hand.

The moment that she did, the sword and armour that I had been wielding suddenly disappeared.

I had completely forgotten about them since they felt so natural, like they were a part of me. But the moment that they disappeared from me, I could feel the difference compared to when I had them on.

The increase in power really was something else…

It almost felt like my body was a bit heavy now that I didn't have this increase on me.

It was almost like I was weighing my body down with some weights for training like this.

But there wasn't anything that I could do.

In the first place, the sword and armour were things that had been given to me by the guide. So even if she wanted to take it away, all I could do was watch as she took them away from me.

It had almost been too easy for her to take these things away.

It only took her a wave of her hand.

At the same time, this confirmed something.

The sword and armour were not the prizes that I would be receiving for clearing this Tower of Trials.

If these were the rewards, then was there a point in taking them away?

No, it would be pointless to do something like this.

So I couldn't help feeling curious about what the reward would be.

Once the guide had finished taking the sword and armour away, she narrowed her eyes to look at me before saying, "Other than those things, it seems like you've obtained quite a few things during your time in the tower."

I was surprised to hear this, but that surprise didn't last long.

The blue phoenix had already said that it was impossible to hide things from her when I was in the tower, so naturally it would be the same for the guide who managed the tower.

It was impossible to hide the dragon and phoenix egg that I received from her eyes.

The only thing that I was concerned about was how she would take care of this.

Would she ignore it or…would she take them away from me?

Though I didn't really care either way, I would naturally prefer to be able to take these eggs away with me.

They were free eggs for powerful creatures that I could hatch in the future, so naturally I would want to take them with me.

I could see that she was deliberately staying silent, as if she was teasing me which caused a bitter smile to appear on my face.

It was only when this bitter smile appeared that the guide finally said, "With my privilege, I should be able to call this a special reward from the Tower of Trials and allow you to take them with you. I hope that you will show your gratitude for this one day."

I just gave a simple nod, though I had no idea when this one day that she mentioned would be.

After all, I highly doubted that I would be able to meet them again in my lifetime.

I now knew that they were from a completely different world.

I already had plenty of things to deal with in my own world, so it was very unlikely that I would ever be able to go to another world.

I just thought that they were completely overestimating me.

The guide gave a satisfied nod when she saw this before saying, "Other than this, I still have some things that I want to give you."

With another wave of her hand, there were a few gems that appeared in the air in front of me. These gems were of different colour and size, but I could feel the energy coming from them that told me that these were not simple gems.

Once she was satisfied with my reaction to these gems, the guide said, "These things are your reward for clearing this Tower of Trials."

I raised a brow as I looked at these gems before asking, "These things are?"

The guide didn't answer my question and instead said with a smile, "Why not take one of them and try it out?"

I looked at her with a doubtful look, but I still followed her instructions and grabbed one of those gems.

The moment that I did, I realized just what these gems did.

They boosted the stats of the person who wielded them.

As I grabbed this gem, I could feel my body becoming lighter, just like when I had been using the sword and armour. Though this feeling wasn't as good as when I was using the sword and armour.

It seemed that even if these gems boosted stats just like the sword and armour, they weren't as good as them.

The guide waited for me to grab each one to test them before saying, "It's a full set of gems that increase your power by 50%." She gave a shrug as she said, "I would have given you a full set that doubles your power, but that wasn't up to me. I could only give you this, but it should be fine since it'll help you to not have one that powerful."

I raised a brow, but she answered me right away by saying, "It would be hard to hide things like this, right?"

I immediately understood what she meant and gave a nod in response.

She was right, precious things were hard to hide and treasures like this would surely attract the greed of others.

It was better to have a weaker version so there would be less people lusting after it.
