I Became the Demon King of Lust

When they heard this, everyone couldn't help looking at Tammy in shock.

After all, the suggestion that she made meant that they would all be fighting on their own. There would be no coordination with each other, which would go against the reason for them gathering like this.

The strongest advantage that they had gathering like this was the ability to work with each other.

They would be able to cover each other's weakness if they worked together, but if they fought on their own…

It would be a messy free for all.

There was nothing to gain from doing this!

So those gazes that were aimed in Tammy's direction slowly changed to strange looks.

There were some that even seemed to wonder if she was alright in the head.

After all, anyone would be able to see that it was better to work together than to fight alone.

Still, this was Tammy Wellen from the Sol Warriors that said this, so it was hard for them to say anything against her. She was one of those that were favoured to win this entire competition, so she was someone that they didn't want to offend for now.

Or else their run in this tournament might end early because of this.

In the end, the one that broke the silence was Diablo.

"Fight on our own?" He said in a surprised voice.

Tammy narrowed her eyes to look at him as she said, "Is there a problem with that?"

Diablo turned to face her and then said in a cheerful voice, "No, not at all. I'm just surprised that miss Tammy was able to figure out my plan already. As expected of the number one expert from the Sol Warriors."

The moment that his voice fell, everyone turned to look at him with looks of shock. At the same time, there were traces of betrayal

"Brother, please! You're supposed to be talking her out of it, not agreeing with her!"

That was what everyone thought as they stared at Diablo. However, he just ignored all of them as he kept facing Tammy.

In the end, even Tammy couldn't help raising a brow to look at Diablo.

It seemed that even she had been caught off guard by how Diablo answered her.

After all, she didn't expect him to actually agree with her.

Tammy narrowed her eyes to look at Diablo before saying, "What plan are you talking about?"

Diablo gave a nod before saying in an excited voice, "It's very simple, we'll split into two different groups and take on the monsters in the cave separately. Those in the first group will fight those monsters scattered around the cave while those in the second group will fight the mutated Salamander."

Tammy narrowed her eyes even more when she heard this.

She looked at Diablo like this for a bit before suddenly asking, "How will the groups be split up?"

Diablo gave a shrug and said, "It's of course based on strength isn't it? There are some that can't even do a thing to the mutated Salamander, so would there be anything to gain from having them fight it? Instead of sending them to their deaths, isn't it better for them to take care of the monsters that will be popping out of the ground?"

When they heard this, there were many people that couldn't help revealing ugly looks.

That was because they knew exactly who Diablo was referring to.

They at least had some awareness of their own strength.

It was just that the way that he had said this wasn't really that pleasant to the ears.

The way that he said it was really a sharp jab to their pride.

So of course they couldn't help glaring at him with displeased looks.

However, Tammy gave a nod of agreement to this.

She was naturally able to see through the abilities of the groups that had gathered here, so she knew who would be useful in fighting the mutated Salamander and who wouldn't be.

But she still asked, "Then the split?"

Diablo just said in a cheerful voice, "Miss Tammy will lead the group that will engage the mutated Salamander. You are free to choose who you wish to bring with you. As for the rest of us, we will figure out a leader once the first group is set."

Everyone knitted their brows when they heard this, but no one said a thing.

After all, they weren't fools.

They knew that this was indeed the best plan.

There was no way that there would be actual coordination between their groups, that was something that was impossible since they didn't know anything about each other.

So sending the strongest after the mutated Salamander really was the best choice.

It would spare them the fate of having to risk their lives to fight that thing.

Though they wouldn't get the points from the mutated Salamander, it was still enough for them to take down the smaller lizards that were around the Salamander.

These were monsters that hung around the mutated Salamander, so they wouldn't be that weak. If they weren't weak, then the points that they were worth wouldn't be that little either.

They would be allowed to fight a fight that wasn't too dangerous and earn good points, so there was nothing wrong with this.

It was just that their pride did hurt a bit from being called weak like this.

Tammy gave a nod of agreement before saying, "Alright, then I'll choose the ones that will come with me now."

Those that weren't confident in their power didn't say anything since they knew that this wouldn't be related to them. Continue reading at empire

Those that were confident in their power had confident looks on their faces as if they were certain that they would be chosen.

But in the end, there were only three other groups that were chosen out of the ten groups that had confident looks on their faces.

"Why wasn't I chosen?"

That was what one of those who wasn't chosen suddenly said.
