I Became the Demon King of Lust

When I looked down, I saw that there were two halves of the rock armadillo lying there.

It had been cleaved right in half from its head and the parts had smashed into the ground, forming a large crater.

When I looked up, I saw that there was a door there with a timer on it waiting for me.

This time, I didn't go through the door right away.

Instead, I lifted up the sword and looked at it carefully.

After all, I knew that it wasn't because of me that this rock armadillo had been cleaved in half. Even if I had buffed myself, I shouldn't have been strong enough to cut this rock armadillo in half like this.

No, in the first place, a normal sword wouldn't have been strong enough to cut through the rock armadillo directly like this. The only way that a sword could cut so smoothly was if it was very sharp.

This was a testament of how sharp this sword that I had been given was.

At the very least, my normal sword wouldn't have been able to do the same even though it was a magic weapon.

But even then, it felt like something was off.

After all, I shouldn't have been strong enough to cut straight through the rock armadillo like this.

So I looked at my own hands and said, "Stronger."

When I did, I entered the same state as before when I attacked the rock armadillo.

The moment that I felt this state, I understood what happened.

I had buffed myself by making myself twice as strong as normal, but this feeling that I had right now…it wasn't just double my strength. When I slowly swung my hand, I could feel the powerful wind that was generated.

With the feeling inside of me, I could tell that this was at least four times my normal power.

No, it should be even more than four times my normal power…

"The sword and armour. That's what must be buffing me." I slowly said in a voice of realization.

This sword and armour had the ability to double my stats, but I never thought that it would also be able to double those stats when I used the Suggestion buff on myself. So that meant that when I buffed myself with double strength, this equipment actually increased that to four times my normal power.

That just went to show how amazing this equipment was.

But that also wasn't the most important part of this.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The most important part was…there were no side effects to this increase.

Unlike my ability which increased one's stats through releasing their limits with hypnosis, this just directly increased their stats with some kind of magic.

When my ability was used to increase stats, the limiters inside of their brains were released.

However, that came with a cost.

The limiters that humans put on themselves were there for a reason. It was so that humans wouldn't exert too much strength that they would hurt themselves.

So while I was also able to buff by four times, that would mean almost releasing all limiters and causing the muscles of the body to rip apart from that strength. In that way, it was like a final resort that could only be used when one was in absolute danger.

It wouldn't kill, but it would definitely seriously injure the one using it.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, this wasn't something that should be used.

But now…I was able to use the same level of power without even suffering from the consequences.

This sword and armour really were divine items!

I really wished that I was able to keep them after this trial, but I knew that this would be impossible.

The guide had said that this was only something that would be available during the trial.

If this was something that could be used in the outside world, there was no doubt that everyone would want this sword and armour. It was such an overpowered item that even wars would be fought over it.

Still, I didn't go through the door as I walked over to the corpse of the rock armadillo.

Using the sword, I started cutting up the rock armadillo.

It wasn't that I was angry with it or anything, it was just that I wanted to test how strong I was and how sharp this sword was. This rock armadillo was the perfect thing to test all of this on.

Though if anyone was watching me, they certainly would have thought that I was crazy.

Still, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing…

Only after cutting that rock armadillo into small bits did I finally walk through the door that was there. The countdown on the door only had a minute left, so I would have been forced out of this place regardless.

With a flash of light, I found myself in a new room.

There was only a single thing in this room just like the others, but I was surprised to see this.

This thing was a large monster right in the center, but the most shocking thing was the blue tone to its skin.

This blue tone was without a doubt an irregular tone, one that wasn't normally found on monsters.

As for the monster, it was an ogre.

This thing was a Blue Ogre, a B Rank Monster like I had expected…

Did that mean that the fifth round would really have an A Ranked Monster and the sixth round would have a S Ranked Monster?

Was this even a trial anymore?

If this was how the first few rounds were, then who would be able to even reach fifty rounds?

It was no wonder the guide had said that it would be impossible for someone to clear all fifty rounds…

But as I was trying to figure out what to do, I realized something about the Blue Ogre in the center.

It didn't seem to move…

It had its eyes closed…

It even seemed like it was snoring…

It was almost as if this Blue Ogre was sleeping!
