I Became the Demon King of Lust

When the Awakeners saw these beasts charging at them, they didn't hesitate at all to turn and run.

They could feel the aura coming from these beasts and they had seen the attacks that these beasts could do, so they knew just how powerful these beasts were.

While it was possible for them to defeat these beasts, there was no doubt that it would take them quite a bit of effort to do so.

Once they defeated these beasts, what would happen to the beasts outside?

In fact, if they fought these beasts, would the beasts outside just accept this and let them fight without charging in?

No, that was impossible.

The moment that the fighting began, they would be surrounded by the beasts. They would be pinched in between the beasts that were outside this room and the beasts that were inside.

They would have nowhere to run and if they wanted to escape, they would have to pay a heavy price.

Not a single person was righteous or selfless enough to sacrifice themselves for the others, so naturally they wouldn't do that.

The only option that was left for them was to run out of this room.

They would break through the beasts that were waiting for them outside and try to reach the exit of this cave.

As long as they could break out of this cave, they would be able to run away and escape this beast stampede. Once they were out of the cave, it would be easy for them to pick these beasts off one by one.

When the time came, there wouldn't be a lack of points for them.

So they just needed to get out of this place and they would be able to get out of this predicament.

But the entrance to this room was already blocked by the beasts.

In fact, the beasts seemed like they were about to enter the room since they had felt the fire energy disappear. Find your next read at empire

Once Tammy took the red gem, the intense fire energy that had been coming out of the room had already disappeared. The heat that they had felt earlier was just from the residual fire energy and the illusion.

But the beasts outside didn't feel the same thing, so they came over to check what happened once the fire energy disappeared.

That was why they were blocking the entrance.

Seeing that it was very likely that they would be trapped, Michael finally couldn't take it and said, "Push through!"

This time, he wasn't talking to everyone, but rather to his own group.

They had saved their energy since they had relied on Tammy the entire time, so this was the time to use it. The alternative to not using it was being trapped, so it was better to use it all for the chance to survive.

The moment that Michael gave this order, the members of his group immediately charged forward and cut down the beasts that were in front of them. The beasts had been completely caught off guard since they had been investigating the entrance to this room.

For them, the only explanation that the fire energy disappeared was if the beasts that led them absorbed the red gem. They assumed that the humans had already been wiped out, so they were caught off guard when these humans suddenly appeared.

Being caught off guard like this, they weren't able to fight back at all as the human weapons cut into them.

But the beasts were able to regroup since there were so many of them, the humans just couldn't cut them all down.

In the end, there was a path that was created by Michael's group.

The others had been hesitating since they didn't know if they should follow him or not, but the moment that they saw the path being created, they knew that they had no choice. They all raised their weapons and followed Michael's group, helping them cut out a path.

With the rate that they were going, it seemed very likely that they would be able to make it to the exit of this cave.

Though there were some people that fell prey to the beasts along the way, they didn't stop for a single moment.

The ones that caught were left to fend for themselves, there was nothing that they could do for them.

It seemed like they would make it, but…

There was a faint light that came from the ground in front of them before a burst of flames suddenly appeared.

Before they could even do anything, there were a bunch of flames that appeared in front of them. These flames gathered together to form a wall that blocked the way forward.

These flames created a large wall that went from one side of the cave to the other side of the cave, completely cutting it off.

It was like this cave had just been cut in half by this large flame wall.

The moment that they saw these flames, everyone immediately recognized what these were.

It was without a doubt Tammy!

Michael took the lead as he came forward first and shouted, "What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to trap us all here? Let down the flame wall now!"

But there wasn't a single reaction from the flame wall as it remained up.

Seeing this, the expressions of the Awakeners all turned ugly.

They could see the beasts that were coming from behind getting closer to them, so they had no choice but to raise their weapons and send their attacks at this wall of flames.

The attacks hit the wall of flame head on, but they found that they weren't able to do a thing to it. Even though they had combined all of their powers, they just couldn't chip this wall of flames.

But not giving up, they kept attacking the wall of flames with more and more attacks.

It was just too bad that nothing worked in the end and the beasts caught up.

So in the end, they had to turn around and face the beasts that caught up to them.
