I Became the Demon King of Lust

Once it was announced that I was the winner, the crowd jeered even more.

But today, they didn't start throwing things into the stadium like they had done before. Discover hidden content at empire

That was because…the organizers had already learned from their mistakes and had made sure that there was nothing to throw.

Though it did cause quite a bit of a stir among the audience when they heard the new rules that had been implemented by the organizers.

They weren't allowed to bring food or drinks or anything else with them as they watched. This really did seem different from any other event that was similar to this tournament.

But no one complained in the end since there was no way that they could complain.

This was an event that was held by many of the large guilds jointly, so it wasn't as if they could complain when they saw all the security that was there.

Thinking about it now, it seemed like it had been a good idea to do this or else it would have been a mess here.

Though that didn't stop people from using their voices to complain.

There were many complaints that came from all around us, that came down at us like a tidal wave. But it wasn't as if there was anything that we could do about this since we were the ones that caused them to act like this in the first place.

After the match was decided, it was time to hold the awards ceremony.

Though this had to be the first awards ceremony to be booed at the entire time.

Not a single person in the crowd was satisfied with how things ended and they wanted us to fight even though the matter had been decided.

The rankings went me in first place, Tammy in second, and Julius in third.

Julius being in third was decided this morning in a much smaller and private third place match against Ares.

I heard that Ares had been completely outmatched by Julius, which just went to show how strong he really was.

If he had been the one to fight Tammy, that really would have been the best fight to end the tournament with.

It was just too bad that neither of them seemed interested in winning.

However, that wasn't the end of it yet.

There was a special guest that had arrived during this awards ceremony.

This person was introduced as a special guest without anyone being told who he was. This was a handsome young man with white hair who walked up to the stage with a smile on his face.

As I looked in his direction, I couldn't help revealing a strange look of recognition.

It wasn't the handsome white haired young man that I recognized, but rather the person who was walking behind him.

It was Eliott.

He didn't seem to look at me as he walked behind the handsome white haired young man. It was almost as if he was trying to fade into the background as much as possible as he followed behind the handsome white haired young man.

But since it was Eliott who came with the handsome white haired young man, did that mean

The handsome white haired young man walked over to the host and then reached his hand out for the mic.

The host handed it over without any resistance.

After receiving the mic, the handsome white haired young man said in a soothing voice, "I'm sure that everyone is wondering who I am."

The crowd fell silent when they heard this voice.

They had been jeering still, but they were all shocked by how soothing this voice sounded that they couldn't help falling silent.

There was even more silence that followed after what the handsome white haired young man said, "My name is Asura, I am the chief of staff of the Awakeners Association."

The moment that this was said, everyone looked at the handsome white haired young man in shock. Slowly, there were looks of recognition that appeared in the eyes of the crowd..

That was because this person was a famous person.

The chief of staff of the Awakeners Association, that meant that he was the one in charge of all the different heads of the different departments of the Awakeners Association.

He was the number three person of the Awakeners Association after the president and the vice president.

Someone like him was considered a very big deal in this world filled with Awakeners.

Most people didn't recognize him since this chief of staff of the Awakeners Association normally worked behind the scenes. He worked through the different department heads instead of taking action himself, so most people didn't know him.

But even so, there were people that did know him since he was just that important of a person.

After the handsome white haired young man finished saying this, he continued by saying, "I'm here on behalf of the Awakeners Association today to offer a special prize to the winner."

Once again, there was only shock and silence that followed after the crowd heard this.

After all, not a single person had expected this kind of twist.

This tournament was one that was held by the large guilds working together, it was something that had been done without the Awakener Association.

But now…the Awakener Association had sent their number three to offer a prize to the winner.

At the same time, it was clear that neither the host nor the organizers were stopping them, making it clear that they were agreeing to this.

When did they come to this agreement?

Wasn't this supposed to not include the Awakener Association so that they could properly show off the talents of the large guilds?

Why was the Awakener Association suddenly involved in this matter?

Asura just ignored the crowd that looked at him in shock and confusion and walked over to the podium to stand in front of me.

As he stood there in front of me, he looked at me with a smile on his face that made a bad feeling fill me.

It felt like something was wrong when he looked at me like this.
