I Became the Demon King of Lust

As soon as she said this, there was this ball of light that came out of the blue phoenix.

This ball of light floated out towards me before stopping right in front of me.

As the light faded and it started to take form, it finally settled on the form of an egg.

But the moment that it settled on the form of an egg, the other egg that was inside of me suddenly came out. That dragon egg floated there in the air, as if it was sizing up the phoenix egg that was in front of it.

After a long time, both of the eggs suddenly started to move.

They went right at each other and slammed into each other, as if they were fighting.

But it was just two eggs that were slamming into each other like this.

The only thing that I thought when I saw them doing this was…

Will they break each other like this?

So I was about to go forward to stop the two of them, but the blue phoenix said with a smile, "Just leave them. Kids will be kids, they will fight with each other and then they'll become friends."

But then as if it was an afterthought, she added, "But then again, it's that old stubborn fool's kid…will it inherit his stubbornness? No, it shouldn't since it's her child as well, so they should be able to become friends."

It seemed that the blue phoenix and the small dragon really went far back, though it was clear that they didn't like each other.

However, it was like she said.

After the two eggs slammed into each other a few times, they finally stopped and just floated there in the air for a bit. After floating there for a bit, the two of them came at each other again, but it was different this time.

Instead of slamming against each other, it was as if they were rubbing up against each other.

It seemed that they had finally made up and this was their version of a hug, or a handshake to patch it up.

It was like two yankees who fought on a riverbank and then became friends after the fight.

I even felt as if there was a sunset cast on the river behind them as they did this.

But then the two of them came over to me and then went right into my body.

Without even waiting for me to do or say anything, they just went right into my body.

I really didn't know what to say, so all I could do was reveal a bitter smile.

These kids really did whatever they wanted.

Still, I just left them be since a dragon and a phoenix…these were both S Ranked Monsters. Not to mention, they were clearly intelligent based on how they were acting.

In the future, if I had these two beasts by my side, there was no doubt that they would be very useful.

Of course, they would be my hidden trump cards.

Once the two eggs settled, the blue phoenix turned to me to say, "I hope that you will take care of my child."

I gave a nod to the blue phoenix before saying, "I will take care of them like they were my own child."

The blue phoenix just gave a nod, but the look in her eyes made it clear what she was thinking.

Still, there was nothing that I could do about this.

This was certainly something that all parents felt when their children left the nest, so there was nothing that I could say that would make the blue phoenix feel better. The only thing that I could do was understand and just accept this fact.

Since it was all over, there was nothing left for the blue phoenix to say.

So instead of talking to me, she said, "I hope that you will be stronger when you come back. But even if you aren't, you're free to come back at any time."

Though when she said this, she did say it in front of me since the egg had already gone inside my body.

I could feel tremors from the egg, but they weren't sad tremors.

Instead, it seemed like they were annoyed tremors that almost seemed like a child that was complaining about a parent embarrassing them. Though in the context of the situation, it was similar to that.

The blue phoenix gave a soft laugh before saying, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore."

She moved aside before gesturing to the portal to say, "You should go now. Take care that you don't miss the chance to leave this place."

As she said this, I realized that I had actually lost track of time.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was only a minute left on the timer that was above the door and it was still going down.

Seeing this, I quickly went over to the door, but I didn't walk through.

As I stood there in front of the door, I turned back to look at the blue phoenix one last time.

I saw that she was still looking at me, but the gaze in her eyes wasn't for me.

Rather that gaze was most likely for her child that was inside of me now.

After this one last look, I walked through the portal and I found…

I was back in the same room as when I had first entered this Tower of Trials.

This was just like the room where I had met the guide and received the prize for the first round.

So that meant that…

I looked up to see that the guide was standing there waiting for me with a smile on her face.

As she looked at me, she suddenly said, "So you made it in the end."

I just gave a slow nod before asking, "So now what?"

The guide suddenly revealed a smile before saying, "Since you have passed the Tower of Trials, naturally you will receive a prize worthy of this accomplishment."
