I Became the Demon King of Lust

The member of my group, who was originally one of Kaito's group, was named Yun Che.

He was someone with an ability called Heretic's Gates.

What this ability allowed him to do was open the gates that naturally existed in his body to increase his own power.

These gates were limiters that his body had set on itself that would prevent it from breaking down. But the moment that he released these gates, his body would absorb far more magic power than usual.

This would allow him to increase his physical abilities by several times, while also putting great strain on his body.

Normally, he would only be able to go up to the third gate since that was his limit.

However, this time, he had pushed himself all the way up to the fifth gate which increased his physical attributes by five times. Though it was only for a few seconds, he should have been far faster than the unaffiliated Awakener.

Still, he had failed in the end as he slammed into the wall of the unaffiliated Awakener.

It was the only time that he didn't mess around with Yun Che.

After that, Yun Che fell to the ground where he was being tortured by the unaffiliated Awakener.

He wanted to say that he gave up, but it seemed that there was something that stopped him from saying it. So the judge had no choice but to let it continue even though most people couldn't watch anymore.

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and jumped down along with Kaito.

We would have been stopped, but it seemed that certain people also couldn't take it so they allowed us to stop the match since we were from the same guild as Yun Che.

I had to hold Kaito back in the end since he looked like he wanted to attack the unaffiliated Awakener.

When it was all over, I could see that there was a broken look in Yun Che's eyes, as if he had succumbed to the torture that he had been put through and no longer had the desire to fight.

If this was left alone…it would leave a deep scar in his heart that would continue to affect him in the future.

The only thing that I could do for now was…

"Calm your mind. You're alright now."

After hearing this, his eyes started to relax a bit before his eyelids started to close.

When they finally closed, he drifted off to sleep and the medics were able to come forward to treat him.

It was a good thing that the judge had been watching, or else he might have been seriously injured. There were a few cuts on Yun Che's body that were just a few centimeters from reaching vital parts of his body.

We were certain that if the judge hadn't been watching, the attacks of the unaffiliated Awakener might have slipped and done some serious damage.

It was clear that this person held some kind of grudge that they were willing to go this far…but why?

We didn't know this person at all, so there was no reason that this person should have held a grudge against us…

When the unaffiliated Awakener saw us like this, he looked at us with narrowed eyes as if he was sizing us up. Then he just gave a snort and turned around without a word, as if he didn't care about us.

The judge had already judged that the fight was over, so there was no need for him to stay around anymore.

For the first time, I took note of this person's name.

His name was William Reid, a person that was completely unknown, but seemed quite powerful.

But that wasn't the most important thing right now.

Kaito had looked like he wanted to fight Wiliam then and there, but once William left, he turned his attention back to Yun Che on the ground.

Seeing us standing over them, one of the medics said, "For now, his wounds have been treated, but…there are still the wounds in his heart that won't be cured that easily. We'll have someone take a look at him once he wakes up."

I gave a simple nod and said, "Thank you."

As the leader of our group, it was my responsibility to make sure that everyone was alright and to take care of matters like this.

Since Kaito was no longer the leader of the group, he was able to act a bit more selfishly.

But it was impressive how he was able to hold himself back.

Or at least that was what one thought until they looked down to see his trembling hands. They were trembling from how much he was clenching them.

I patted Kaito on the shoulder and said, "It'll be fine."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He looked up at me with a gaze that clearly said that he didn't believe me, but that expression soon disappeared from his face.

He just gave a simple nod in response.

Kaito knew that there was nothing that he could do by being agitated, so all he could do was calm down and trust that they would do their best for Yun Che.

The two of us followed the medics as they transported Yun Che to the medical bay in the stadium. Once we arrived, we found that the others were already waiting there for us.

There were even Alex, Julius, and Tammy's groups that were there.

They looked at us as if they were asking how he was.

I just shook my head and said, "We still need to see how he is when he wakes up. They're going to run some tests and then bring in a professional to help him."

Everyone just nodded before watching as Yun Che was taken in by the medics.

Before any of us were able to say anything else, there was another figure that suddenly walked in.

This was someone that none of us expected to see here.

It was Bing Lan who suddenly walked in.
