I Became the Demon King of Lust

The performances that they put on were quite interesting.

These were performances that showed off the power of the various other Awakeners from the large guilds. These were the ones that didn't have a chance to enter the tournament since there were limited spots.

I could see that there were the ones that had argued with us during the raid dungeon there as well.

It seemed like Elementia had also prepared an act for this.

After the performances and the lunch break, it was finally time for my fight with Julius.

As we were called onto the stage, he once again looked at me and said, "Let's put on a good show."

I was surprised and confused as to why he kept repeating this, but I said with a nod, "Let's put on a good show."

He patted my shoulder with a smile before walking forward. Read exclusive adventures at empire

I was a bit dazed by this, but I still followed him even if I was a bit behind him.

By the time that we reached the end of the corridor and came out to the stage, we were walking side by side again.

As soon as we came out, I could hear the cheers that were coming from the crowd.

Though when comparing the cheers, it seemed like there were more people cheering for Julius than there were for me. At the same time, it was clear that most of the ones that were cheering for Julius were females.

Right, when you compared the two of us, it was clear who was the more handsome one.

I had a very ordinary appearance, even if it had been increased a bit once I became an Awakener.

Julius was a very handsome blonde haired young man, so there was no doubt that he would be able to capture the hearts of the ladies better than me.

But he just grabbed me by the shoulder and brought me in close before waving at the crowd. He looked at me as if he was expecting me to wave to the crowd with him.

Seeing all the people staring at us, I had no choice but to wave back at them.

However, deep down, I felt another strange feeling.

It was almost as if he was trying too hard to convey that we were close to one another.

It was almost as if he was trying to convince everyone that we were as close as brothers even though we weren't actually that close.

We were certainly friends, but that didn't mean that we were the best of friends.

We hadn't known each other nearly long enough for that.

Once we finished waving to the crowd, the two of us headed onto the stage together.

When we came onto the stage, I found that it was the same judge as before.

There was a rotation of three judges and this was the judge that had been in charge of the fight between me and Long Shui Ling.

When he saw me come onto the stage with Julius, he couldn't help giving me a strange look.

The way that he looked at me was almost as if he was remembering what happened last time. It was almost as if I had left some kind of trauma on him with how the fight between me and Long Shui Ling had ended.

That just made me reveal a bitter smile.

Seeing this, he shook his head and revealed a smile as he looked at me, as if he was encouraging me.

But I couldn't return that smile since there was this strange feeling inside of me still.

It almost felt like I had missed something, something that seemed quite important.

I just couldn't put my finger on what it was.

When the two of us got onto the stage, Julius finally let go of me and walked forward before turning around so that he was facing me.

This finally seemed like a proper fight, so I let out an internal sigh of relief.

As if to probe him, I gave Julius a nod which he quickly returned.

The judge also seemed much more assured when he saw this before revealing an excited look.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This was a fight in the semifinals, so there was no doubt that this would be an exciting match.

The crowd was already hyped for this, so there was no need for him to keep stalling any longer.

The judge looked at both of us before raising his hand and bringing it down to say, "Let the fight begin."

Before I could take two steps forward, Julius suddenly said something that shocked everyone that heard it.

My feet immediately froze when I heard him say this as I looked at him with disbelief.

The judge was the same as he looked at Julius with disbelief, with his hand still out from starting the match.

"I forfeit."

That was what Julius had said as soon as the match began.

The crowd had been cheering for the start of the fight, so they didn't hear what was said clearly. However, they slowly stopped cheering when they saw the way that the judge and I were acting.

It didn't take long before there was a silence that filled the arena.

After a long silence, the judge finally looked at Julius and asked, "What did you say? I don't think I heard what you said correctly."

Julius calmly looked at the judge and said, "No, you heard it correctly. I said that I want to forfeit."

"Why?" The judge asked without any hesitation.

Julius didn't really give an answer as he said, "I have my own reason to forfeit, that's all that I'm willing to say."

The judge clearly wasn't satisfied with this answer, but it wasn't as if he could say anything else to Julius in this situation.

It wasn't that he didn't want to ask him anything, it was just that he knew that it would be useless to ask him anything while he was acting this away.

So instead, the judge turned to look at me.
