I Became the Demon King of Lust

When I arrived home, there was a voice that popped into my head.

"That family…there's something off about them."

I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this before pulling Lilith out of my Storage Ring.

When she came out, she jumped out of my hand and walked around in the living room, pacing back and forth as if she was thinking about something.

I waited for her to say something at first, but it didn't seem like she was going to say anything.

In the end, I couldn't take it anymore and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lilith didn't answer me at first as she continued pacing back and forth.

But then she suddenly stopped to look at me.

I still couldn't help feeling that this walking doll was strange, but she had a serious look on her face, so I tried to remain as serious as possible.

She opened and closed her mouth a few times, almost as if she was struggling to say what she wanted to say.

In the end, she just gave a sigh and went back to pacing back and forth.

I knitted my brows when I saw her like this and her pacing was slowly making me dizzy, so I reached out to grab her. I lifted her off the ground and placed her in front of me before saying, "What is it? Tell me already."

Even then, Lilith didn't say anything as she just looked down deep in thought.

Finally, she looked up at me and said, "You've really gotten bold, picking up a beautiful woman like me like this. Do you really want to do it that badly with me?"

My lips twitched when I heard this before I slowly raised my hand.

My hand was coming up like I was preparing to throw a baseball.

"Wait, wait, alright, I'll stop teasing and tell you." Lilith quickly said when she saw this. She was even waving her hand around in a panic when she saw the serious look on my face.

After I brought her down, she looked up at me and said, "It's not like there is a problem, but it's also not like there's no problem at all."

I just revealed a confused look when I heard this, but I waited for her to explain.

Lilith gave a sigh before saying, "In that house, I felt…No, I don't know if it was right, but there was this sensation…"

The way that she trailed off, it was almost as if she didn't know what to say.

Once again, I just waited for her to finish gathering her thoughts.

After rambling on like this for a bit, Lilith gave a sigh and said, "I felt the sensation of another demon king."

"Huh?" I looked at her as if I was trying to tell if she was being serious or not, but Lilith had started muttering to herself again.

"That feeling…it should be greed…but then again…"

"Greed?" I couldn't help asking.

Lilith gave a nod before saying, "Just like how you're the demon king of lust, there is a demon king of greed."

"Then is there a demon king associated with all seven deadly sins?"

Lilith gave another nod as she said, "That's right, there are seven demon kings."

Seven demon kings…

I had thought that I was the only one, but now it turned out that there were six others.

But then again…it made sense.

Thinking back to the first day that the dungeons had appeared, the voice that had spoken had said to slay all the demon kings and not just a single demon king.

It made sense that there were more than one.

After thinking for a bit, I looked down at Lilith and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that there were other demon kings?"

Lilith was pulled out of her muttering and she looked up at me with a confused look as she said, "I thought you already knew? Doesn't everyone know that there are multiple demon kings?"

I didn't have a way to refute this…so all I could do was ask another question to hide my embarrassment.

"What else are you hiding from me?"

Lilith looked at me with a surprised look before shaking her head and saying, "I've never hidden anything from you."

I narrowed my eyes as they filled with doubt, but I didn't ask anything else.

I was sure that there was more that she wasn't telling me, but for now…it was better to get the information that was more pertinent to this situation.

So I asked, "What is so special about this demon king of greed?"

Lilith revealed a serious look this time as she said, "It's not that the demon king of greed is important, it's important that there's another demon king."

She looked right into my eyes before saying, "The demon kings are free to operate as they wish, so they can work together or they can work against each other. But since they are all demon kings, it means that their powers have a weaker effect on each other."

I knitted my brows as I asked to confirm, "What do you mean?"

She calmly said, "Your plan is to turn them into your puppets? Well, that might be hard if they are related to the demon king of greed. They will have a natural resistance to your powers as the demon king of lust, which includes the Hypnosis skill."

It was as I had expected, but being told this straight was a different feeling.

It seemed that I had to change my plans…

"Can you find more traces of the demon king of greed?" I suddenly asked.

Lilith gave a nod before also shaking her head and saying, "Not unless I can get closer to the source. I only felt traces of it in their house, but I had no idea where it was coming from. If you can let me explore that house, I'm certain that I'll be able to find more traces."

I revealed a bitter smile when I heard this.

Exploring the house of the richest family?

That was impossible.

Even with powers designed to hide oneself, it would be impossible to sneak into a place that had the most high tech security.

As for using the Time Stop skill…there was a potential demon king on the other side, so it was useless to use this.

I took a deep breath before saying, "Let's leave this be for now. It's not as if they are planning to do anything to us, right?"

Lilith gave a slow nod before saying, "It doesn't seem like they have found us yet."

I said with a nod, "Alright, then let's slowly follow up on this. For now, I'll work on Long Shui Ling first before working on her family."

Lilith gave a nod of agreement.

But after a moment of silence, she felt like she had to add something, "Be careful of the demon king of greed. They usually aren't good at working with others…"

I gave an understanding nod.

Demon king of greed…greed…

Greed was the desire to own everything, so it was unlikely that they would be willing to share.

This demon king of greed definitely wasn't someone that would play nice with others.

But for the demon king of greed to hide for this long…

It made sense that they would be with the richest family in the world, but how did they manage to hide themselves all this time?

It really was puzzling.
