I Became the Demon King of Lust

That was because the points on our cards had all increased.

In fact, the increase in points seemed equal for all of us, so it seemed that we had all gotten some points from killing the mutated Salamander.

But how did it know to do that?

Or was it programmed to share the points with anyone that participated in eliminating it?

If so, did that mean that the others also received points?

We turned to look at the other members of our groups.

They were confused why we were looking at them at first, but then they quickly took out their cards as well.

When they opened up their cards, it seemed that it was indeed the case as all of them had received points as well. The points that they received weren't any less than the points that we received.

It seemed that we had indeed split the points from killing the mutated Salamander.

But how was it split?

Was it just given to everyone that participated in the fight or was it distributed to the group of the ones that finished it?

Did that mean that everyone else who had participated in the fight had also received some of the points?

However, based on how many points we received, if it was really split between all those people, then this mutated Salamander must have been worth a ridiculous amount of points.

If that was the case, if only we had fought it alone instead of with everyone…

Still, it was too late to regret.

There were so many things that were unknown that it was hard to figure out what the real reason was.

But that didn't matter right now since I could see that Long Shui Ling was starting to struggle keeping up this illusion. It was fine when it was just us, but to create a large scale mist illusion to keep the area where the mutated Salamander had been hidden was hard for her to keep up.

After all, there was the mist that she had created earlier to trap the Awakeners.

That had also used up quite a bit of her mana. Your next read awaits at empire

I knew that it wouldn't last long, so we should get out of here as soon as possible.

I looked at the other two and they could understand what I wanted to say just by the gaze that I gave them. They both nodded in agreement before they started moving away from where the mutated Salamander had died.

We quickly headed towards the exit with Long Shui Ling's illusion on us.

But the moment that we left the area with the mist, the mist started to dissipate.

When the people who had been waiting outside of the mist saw the mist dissipate, they immediately ran forward as if they were fighting to get the share of the prize.

It was just too bad that there wasn't a prize left for them.

The mutated Salamander had disappeared and even the loot had been taken.

So after everything that they've done, they didn't get a single thing.

There were some people that wanted to keep searching and there were some people that wanted to find the other large lizards.

They wanted to at least earn a few points from the large lizards that were all over this room.

However, they weren't able to find a single one.

Even when they dug in the area where the giant lizards had dug into the ground previously, they weren't able to find a single giant lizard. It was as if they had all disappeared without a trace.

How could this be?

There were some that didn't want to give up and kept digging in this cave even though they didn't find anything.

But there were some that also accepted that there wasn't anything here.

Since they accepted this, they no longer remained in this place.

The fight was already over and the prize had been taken, so there was no reason for them to stick around any longer.

Instead, it was better for them to go looking for more monsters to kill.

Time was still ticking, so they needed to earn points as quickly as possible.

The three groups that had betrayed Tammy were among those that left.

They knew that it was impossible for them to work with Tammy and the Sol Warriors after betraying them like this, so they didn't bother staying here any longer.

Tammy also didn't stop them since she knew that this was over.

But there was something that she and her group had been doing the entire time.

They had been cautiously looking over the surrounding area, as if they were trying to find something.

"Well?" Tammy asked them.

The rest of the Sol Warriors group shook their heads and said, "We can't find anything."

Tammy revealed an unhappy look when she heard this, but she didn't say anything else.

After all, she knew how hard it was to find them.

This was a group that had snuck in under everyone's gaze and stolen the mutated Salamander from them.

Would this group be that easy to find?

So with a sigh, Tammy said, "Alright, rest up and get ready to leave."

The Sol Warriors nodded before sitting down and pulling out potions to recover their mana.

Tammy was about to do the same when she suddenly saw a note fall out of her pocket.

As the note fell to the ground, she looked at it with a stunned look.

After a moment of silence, she looked around herself as if she was trying to find whoever had put this note in her pocket. However, she wasn't able to find a single person around her.

She wasn't even able to sense a single aura around her.

In the end, she just picked up the note and opened it to see what it said.

"I apologize for stealing the boss, but this is just how this first round is. I do not wish to antagonize you and hope that we can work together in the future."

It was a short and simple note, but it had plenty of information.

Tammy revealed a faint bitter smile after reading this note.

She shook her head with this bitter smile on her face before crumpling up the note and putting it in her pocket.
