I Became the Demon King of Lust Chapter 16: First monster

As I headed away from the entrance, my surroundings started to change.

There were lanterns that were hung on the wall at first, but the further I went, the darker it beca.

It was a good thing that I had already brought a headlamp with and when it beca darker, I turned it on to light the way in front of .

Even if I had beco a demon king, that didn't an that I had gained night vision.

This headlamp was a special one that was created for awakeners that explored the dungeon. It used a small magic stone that was gathered from the monsters of the dungeon as a power source.

With this magic stone, it created a magic light that didn't just illuminate the area in front of . This magic light was like a torch that lit up the entire surrounding area, but unlike a torch, I was able to use it without encumbering any of my hands.

While heading deeper in, I didn't encounter any monsters.

It seed that they had already understood that this was the palace where their enemies, the awakeners, gathered so they didn't co near this place

But once I got far enough, I could hear the sounds of things moving around .

At this, I reduced the light's range around so that I wouldn't attract too much attention and I started moving slower just in case anything ca at .

It didn't take long though for to encounter my first monster.

I could hear the sound of sothing bouncing towards , so I stopped moving and waited for this thing to show itself.

When it ca into the range of the light, I was able to see what it looked like.

This was sothing that seed like a sack of water that had a small blue bead in the center of it.

This was a monster that everyone knew because it was a famous beginner monster.

This was a sli.

The sli seed to be bouncing along at its own pace, but when it ca closer to , it suddenly started moving faster. It was clear that this sli had found and was coming to attack.

I didn't know just how the sli detected when it didn't have any parts of its body that could detect people, but I didn't have ti to think too much about it since the sli was coming.

It just bounced up and down as it ca closer, but then once it had reached a certain range, it suddenly stopped bouncing.

The sli suddenly contracted on the ground, contracting its body together as if it was building up tension.

Then all of a sudden, the sli jumped up once more.

This ti, it was different from when it bounced up and down. This ti, the sli suddenly shot forward with all of the contracted force that it had built and shot out like a bullet.

Since I had been prepared, I was able to dodge out of the way at the last second, but it was without a doubt dangerous. If I had let my guard down for even an instant…I would have ended like the stalagmite beside .

This thing had its tip shattered to pieces by the force of the sli slamming into it.

This was just like a cannonball as it shot out with the force that it had gathered.

Even though these things had been called a beginner monster, they were still monsters in the end.

However, I didn't have too much ti to think since the attack of the sli wasn't over yet.

The sli slamd into the wall of the cave behind , creating cracks in it before suddenly shooting back.

It was like a ball with how it suddenly bounced off the wall like this.

I had already been moving, so I was able to dodge out of the way again. But since I was already moving, I was able to also slash out at this sli as it passed by.

It was just too bad that I wasn't able to do anything to it.

My sword bounced off the sli's blue skin and I was even pushed back by the force.

When I landed on my butt on the ground, the sli was already bouncing back at .

This seed like it was over, this seed like I would have my bones smashed by this sli.

But before it could hit , I suddenly said, "Ti Stop."

The mont that I said this, it was as if this sli froze in the air.

But it wasn't just this sli that had been frozen.

Everything around seed to stop.

Even the drops of water that fell from the stalactite around were frozen in the air.

The only thing that wasn't frozen was the light of the headlamp on my head since that was attached to . Since it was attached to , it was considered a part of and wasn't affected by the Ti Stop.

I slowly got up off the ground and then moved in front of the sli that was frozen in the air.

After admiring this strange creature for a bit, I suddenly stabbed out at it, but…my sword bounced back.

It seed that I still couldn't penetrate this thing's skin…

But I didn't give up as I stabbed at it again and again at the sa point.

Eventually, I was able to do enough damage that I pierced through the skin of the sli and stabbed it right in the core.

There was no resistance at all as I stabbed right through the core and when I pulled out, it didn't seem like the core had been affected at all.

But when I looked closer, I found that there was a cut on the core.

So I moved away from the sli and then released the Ti Stop.

The mont that the ti stop was released, the sli suddenly burst apart and the liquid inside splashed onto the ground. The mont that this liquid touched the ground, there was a sizzling sound as smoke ca up from it.

That was because the liquid inside the sli was actually acid.

But then, all of that disappeared and it was replaced by a few items that just laid there on the ground.
