I Became the Demon King of Lust

Once the Gale Wolves had disappeared, Su Chen came over to help me up before walking back to the group.

As I stood there in front of them, I could see the looks of admiration that were aimed my way.

I just revealed a bitter smile as I turned to Qin Yue Ru and asked, "Can you heal me?"

She was surprised to hear this, so she didn't do anything.

Seeing the looks that they gave me, I said, "You should already know about my ability already and the downsides that come with it. I can barely move after using my ability, so I need you to heal me."

When they heard that, all of them couldn't help looking at me with shocked looks.

They never thought that I would face this kind of problem after showing that kind of power.

However, there was no denying that this was the problem that I currently faced.

I had to create an excuse to cover up the real power that I had used, so I had used my Hypnosis skill to fake this pain…Well, it wasn't fake since the pain was real, but this wasn't because of using that skill to defeat the Howling Gale Wolf.

After a moment of being dazed, Qin Yue Ru came forward and raised her staff.

When she did, there was a layer of light that appeared around me.

As this layer of light appeared around me, I could feel a warm feeling filling me that went from head to toe. As this warm feeling filled me, I could feel the pain that filled my body receding.

Slowly but surely, the pain disappeared without a trace and I could feel my body being filled with strength again.

This healing power really was something else.

If I could have this healing power to revive me every time after Su Chen's workouts…

But for now, what mattered more was establishing my reputation among these kids.

So I said, "Is everyone alright?"

All of them gave a slow nod before revealing excited looks.

Now that they had calmed down and thought about it, they realized that they had just fought against those wolves that had given them all that trouble before.

They had even fought against so many of them that they had been completely surrounded.

The only reason that they had been able to fight back against so many of these wolves was because of the advice that Lin Fan gave them before.

If it wasn't for this, it was certain that they would have been overrun by these wolves.

But that showed that they had become much stronger than when they first entered this dungeon.

Seeing that they were all alright, I gave a sigh and said, "Good, it's good that you're all safe."

When the kids heard this, they couldn't help feeling a warm feeling fill their hearts.

Up to this point, their impression of Lin Fan had been of a strict and uncaring person who didn't seem to worry about them at all. He was just here because he was forced to come along with them and had taken over their group because he found it bothersome.

But now they realized that it wasn't that case.

He had acted that way because a leader needed to be tough, but that didn't mean that this was his personality.

Now that they had gone through danger together, they couldn't help feeling closer to him.

In the end, they just gave another slow nod.

Seeing this slow nod, I said with a sigh, "It's good that you're fine. That really was tough just now, I didn't think that we would make it through that."

After hearing this, the kids couldn't help revealing strange looks as they realized…that Lin Fan was just like them.

He was just someone who was trying to do his best.

They had acted tough because they thought that if they didn't, they would be looked down on.

But in truth, they didn't want to act that way either…

With this, the final barrier in their hearts finally collapsed and they opened themselves up.

At first, they felt awkward since they didn't know what to say, but Hayato took the first step by saying, "Uh, are you alright…Lin Fan?"

That was his first time addressing Lin Fan by name instead of just calling him F Ranker.

When I heard this, I couldn't help revealing a smile and saying, "I'm fine, but I could do with a shower and a change of clothes right now."

Hearing this, all of them couldn't help revealing a smile as well.

After all, fighting was a very dirty matter and with how much of a mess they had caused, they were all covered in dirt. So it wasn't just Lin Fan who wanted to take a shower and change their clothes, it was all of them that wanted this.

Slowly, I was able to break the barrier between our two sides and soon they were talking to me without any worries at all.

Instead of treating me as an outsider, they started to treat me as one of their own.

This was the atmosphere that I wanted for this party.

After all, this was the atmosphere that I was able to easily take advantage of.

Behind each word that I said…was my Hypnosis.

I was able to slowly get closer and closer to them with each word said.

Finally, when they seemed like they were having difficulty deciding on what to call me, I said, "If you want, you can just call me big brother. After all, I am older than you."

They hesitated a bit before nodding in agreement.

With this, I had talked my way into becoming the big brother of these talents of Elementia.

I had seen their abilities, so I knew that in the future, they would become powerful Awakeners.

In that case, I should take advantage of this.

While they were still young and weak, I should get them to follow me while I could.
