Chapter 289: Absorbing demon king energy
Now that it was all over, the only thing that I wanted to do was throw myself in bed and sleep the night away.
But I didn't get that chance…
As soon as I came in, I found that a certain someone was banging against the walls of the safe that I put them in.
After making sure that Su Chen was gone, I opened the safe to release Lilith.
As soon as she came out, she glared at me as if I was her enemy before saying, "Why did you lock me in there?"
I revealed a bitter smile and said, "I didn't have a choice. I just needed to hide you for a bit so that I could settle some things. You already know about what happened, so you should know how dangerous it was for me."
Lilith's anger didn't subside as she said, "There were other ways that you could have done this. Did you really need to lock me up like this? I have ways of hiding myself, you know."
I gave a shrug and said, "I was panicking and didn't know what to do, so I just put you in there."
Lilith came forward to hit me with those plush hands, but it didn't hurt at all.
Still, I just let her do what she wanted since I knew that it would be more annoying if I didn't.
After she hit me for a bit, Lilith's anger finally subsided and she stopped hitting me.
She looked at me and said, "Give me some of the demon king energy that you brought back with you."
I couldn't help being surprised by this sudden request, but then I said, "I don't have any left. It was all absorbed by the system already."
As for what that meant, I found that my experience bar had filled up quite a bit after that trip into the raid dungeon.
During the trip to the raid dungeon, I didn't really do anything that would be considered acting as the demon king, so I wouldn't have earned any experience that way. So the only thing that I could think of was the mummy leader's energy that I had absorbed.
When I fought the mummy leader, bits of its energy had been absorbed by my sword which had weakened it.
That absorbed energy had been turned into experience for my demon king system, which was what greatly increased the experience bar.
But of course, I didn't have any of that energy left since it had already all been absorbed, so I didn't know why Lilith was asking for it.
However, after I said this, Lilith looked at me like I was an idiot.
I didn't know how to feel about this, so I didn't say anything.
After a long silence, she said, "There's still some left in your sword, didn't you know that?"
I was surprised when I heard this before quickly pulling out my sword to look at it.
But no matter how I looked at the sword, it didn't seem like there was any of that energy left in it.
Or at least, I couldn't sense it.
Lilith walked right up to the sword and raised a hand to touch it.
When she touched it, there was a layer of dark energy that suddenly appeared around the sword that caught me off guard.
I couldn't help being shocked by this because this was the same energy that I had seen around the mummy leader and the pharaoh mummy.
I never thought that there would still be some of it left in my sword like this.
Lilith raised her hand after making that dark energy appear and that dark energy seemed to follow the movement of her hand. The dark energy detached itself from the sword and started flowing into Lilith.
As she absorbed the energy, she closed her eyes as if she was trying to sense something.
The dark energy kept flowing from the sword and into Lilith until there was no more dark energy left.
When all of the dark energy around the sword was gone, Lilith opened her eyes and said, "Hmm, I knew that it seemed familiar…"
I couldn't help asking, "What did you find?"
Lilith looked up at me and said, "This energy, it's the demon king of wrath."
"Demon king of wrath?" I repeated in a shocked voice.
Lilith gave a nod before saying, "There's no doubt about it, it's wrath. I'm very familiar with this sensation."
I looked at her with a strange look when she said this.
When Lilith saw this look, she said, "Wrath and lust have long gone together…Where there is love, there will be infidelity and wrath is naturally what follows after they are discovered."
I slowly gave a nod since this did make sense.
After a pause, Lilith added, "Wrath…that isn't a good thing. Since the beginning, he and I have never gotten along. If it's the demon king of wrath, he will most likely be your enemy rather than your ally."
I deeply knitted my brow when I heard this before asking, "Are you sure?"
Lilith just gave a slow nod in response.
This was a demon king who was controlling monsters to form a vessel to manifest…
This demon king would definitely be dangerous in the future and if I could only be enemies with him, then that would mean danger for me…
But right now, I just had too little information on this demon king of wrath, so there wasn't anything that I could do.
I looked at Lilith and asked, "Is there any way that you could find this demon king of wrath so we can take him down while he's still weak?"
Lilith shook her head and said, "No, that isn't within my abilities right now. I've regained some power by absorbing his energy, but I still barely have any powers right now."
I gave a sigh when I heard this.
Lilith walked over and patted me on the hand before saying, "For now, just do your best."
Then without waiting for a response, she walked off to do her own thing.
I was just left there with a bitter smile on my face.
