I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 42: Setting out



It didn't take long for us to pack up everything, especially since people left us alone after seeing what had happened to those Awakeners.

It had happened in quite an open place, so it was impossible for people not to see what had happened.

Knowing that the Ice Princess was the one backing us really was a big boost to our prestige and it kept those that had bad intentions away.

Once we had finished packing, we didn't stay in the camp for long since the group that we were heading out with was already prepared. When we arrived at where that group was gathering, the first thing that we saw was a beautiful blue haired figure.

The second thing we saw was that this beautiful blue haired figure was surrounded by other people, but that wasn't surprising. After all, with how famous she was, it would be strange if she wasn't surrounded by others.

But when she saw us coming over, she waved for us to come to her.

Su Chen took the lead and when he arrived, he gave a bow to the Ice Princess who just accepted it with a wave of her hand. Then the Ice Princess said, "Su Chen, go and get things ready for departure."

Su Chen nodded before leading us away.

But this time, the people around us looked at us differently.

Just with this alone, it was to establish that we were the people of the Ice Princess.

If anyone wanted to cause trouble with us…they would have to see how the Ice Princess felt.

In a way, this was her way of protecting us.

Su Chen brought us over to a spot that was out of the way before explaining a few things to us.

In truth, there wasn't anything that we needed to prepare since we were already carrying everything. The majority of what he had to explain to us was how to stay out of the way and make sure that no one caused any trouble.

While we weren't afraid of trouble because we were backed by the Ice Princess, it was best if we didn't cause any.

After all, we were heading into the break zone with danger around every corner.

Staying out of the way and making sure that we didn't do anything harmful to the rest of the group was the way to go.

This was the break zone that we were about to head into.

The break zones, they were different from the dungeons that had appeared.

These break zones were actually areas where a dungeon break had happened before.

This meant that there was an event where the mana in the dungeon had built up so much that it had exploded, releasing the monsters of the dungeon onto Earth. This was a disastrous event since not all humans were powerful awakeners that could fight against the monsters.

It would be better if this happened in areas without people, but if a dungeon break happened in a place that was filled with people like the city, it would cause unimaginable damage.

So that was why dungeons were carefully managed by the Awakener Association.

But the break zones were the opposite of that.

The break zones were areas where a deliberate dungeon break had been allowed to happen.

That was because there were more benefits to be gained from this than to just maintain a dungeon.

The break zone allowed monsters that once lived in the dungeon to appear on Earth, but there was one major difference between these monsters in the break zone and the monsters in the dungeon.

It was the difference of loot.

In the dungeon, the monsters that were defeated would be automatically turned into loot by the dungeon. The essence of the monsters would be reabsorbed by the dungeon to create new monsters while the ones who defeated the monsters would be rewarded with loot from the dungeon.

But when they were outside of the dungeon, this monster corpse didn't disappear.

While that meant that there wasn't any loot gained from killing the monsters, there was instead the monster corpse to harvest from.

For things like orcs, like the ones that Lin Fan had been carrying before, they were carved up for their meat, skin, and even their testicles.

The meat of the orcs was delicious, being on par with the best raised pigs.

The skin of the orcs was tough, so it could be turned into strong leather armour.

And as for the testicles…they had a strong aphrodisiac effect, so there was always a customer for these things.

So there were pros and cons to each method of killing a monster and humans had decided that it would be more fruitful to create these break zones to get monster corpses from.

But there was the danger of monsters leaving the break zone, so there were strong barricades put around the break zone to prevent monsters from leaving.

In short, everything came with a price.

Since they were heading into this break zone where monsters lived, they would need to be careful since they could be ambushed at any moment.

But there was still one thing that I was curious about.

After Su Chen had finished giving his warning, I couldn't help asking, "Why is Miss Bing going into the break zone this time? Is there a special reason for this?"

Su Chen gave a nod and explained, "You're new, so you don't know this. But there's been reports of an Orc King being born in this break zone. The Orc King is a powerful monster that can control all of the other orcs and if they gather like this, there will be the possibility of them breaking the confines of the break zone.

That was why a powerful ranker like the Ice Princess was called to take care of the Orc King."

"Orc King." I couldn't help being surprised.

Of course I had heard of this monster before because it was one that had caused a large disaster in Europe before, but I never imagined that I would be facing one so soon.

Su Chen could see the look on my face, so he patted my shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we have the Ice Princess here. As long as we have her here, there's nothing you need to worry about."

I knew that he had misunderstood the look on my face.

It wasn't that I was worried about the Orc King since I was still confident in escaping with my abilities.

I was just worried that it would make it harder for me to approach Bing Xin…

But since Su Chen took the initiative to comfort me, I said, "Un, it'll be fine as long as the Ice Princess is here."

Su Chen slapped me on the back before saying, "It's good that you know."

After that, there was a voice that rang out. It was coming from the front of this group.

It wasn't a voice that I was familiar with since it was a random Awakener that was there.

But I learned later that this was a C Rank Awakener who was in charge of this group.

As for why the Ice Princess wasn't in charge, it was because she was the secret weapon for dealing with the Orc King. She wouldn't be fighting until we found the Orc King, so it was better for someone else to lead this group.

The C Rank Awakener said, "Let's set off."

With that, we headed into the break zone.
