Dungeon Maker - Chapter 165

Chapter 165: I’m Yours (2)

Aamon and Gusion turned to each other then stood up at the same time.

“Well, I think I know what he will do next. He’s going to summon somebody with that reward.”

“Of course, it’s Kaiwan.”

Unlike the one that he obtained after breaking through the 10th floor, this time, Yong-ho obtained only a one-day minor summons with which he could summon a dungeon spirit from the arena.

But it was enough for him. A smile was all over his face.

Staring at him quietly, Aamon asked earnestly, [Are you trying to increase your anguish?]

Catalina opened her eyes wide, and Gusion admired.

Making a face, Yong-ho said, “Nope, not at all.”

“Then what are you going to do after summoning Kaiwan? And why are you summoning her? The floor master on the 18th floor is also a former master of the House of Mammon.”

Gusion asked quite sharply because Yong-ho sometimes mentioned this, ‘Kaiwain, if I can’t summon another former master when I first wanted the summons…’

[This is out of his anguish again.] Aamon was convinced.

Gusion giggled and Catalina pouted her lips.

Yong-ho shook his head and said while shrugging his shoulders, “Well, you will know who I summon soon. See you again next time, Gusion.”

Yong-ho looked around the stadium where Kaiwan and other former masters were sitting. He then headed straight for the exit. With Catalina hurriedly following Yong-ho, Aamon turned to Gusion. Aamon asked as if he was asking for consent, [I guess it must be anguish, right?]

Gusion giggled once more. Instead of answering, he put a cigar in his mouth.

As soon as Yong-ho left the arena, he didn’t go far. After taking a seat in Kaiwan’s lounge, he summoned through Lucia the remaining dungeon spirits of the House of Mammon.

Eligos and Ophelia arrived in less than a few minutes. Both of them were sweaty as if they were sparring at the training ground.

It was regrettable that Skull and Tigrius were not available, but it was inevitable.

Yong-ho lined the three including Catalina side by side.

And he stood with his back two steps ahead of the three.

“Let me get started.”

Yong-ho tore the summons right away. Then, his mana was concentrated in the air. Kaiwan was summoned through the process that the dungeon spirits of the House of Mammon had already experienced.

“So, you’re going to make your wish come true through me this time, right?”

Standing obliquely, Kaiwan asked provocatively, but she stopped in no time because she was distracted by the familiar and nostalgic scene of her good old lounge.

The lounge looked like the same one before she disappeared.

She gulped at the moment. If she let her guard down here, she felt like she would cry, recalling her brother.

It was a situation that Yong-ho didn’t expect, but he had to control it.

He grabbed her shoulder then looked straight into her eyes, which were a little bit wet.

When she seemed to calm down a bit, he said with a straight face, “Kaiwan, this is my wish.”

“Sure, tell me whatever it is.”

“I want you to be my dungeon spirit.”

“Good… What is it?”

When she asked back, he already got down to work.

On behalf of Yong-ho, Lucia proceeded to register her as a dungeon spirit.

When he summoned Kaiwan last time, he noticed one difference.

She was different when she was in the arena and outside the arena.

To be precise, the arena’s dominance over Kaiwan was different. Outside the arena, its dominance was weak, of course.

A dungeon spirit belonged to the dungeon.

A spirit in the arena belonged to the arena.

If so, what would happen if a spirit in the arena was made a dungeon spirit?

It was difficult inside the arena because the dominance of the arena was too strong.

But what if Yong-ho weakened its dominance further by releasing tremendous mana?

The magic field and Brigada rings on his left arm and right hand respectively lit up. Not only Yong-ho, but also all the dungeon spirits erected their own horns and released mana.

They did so, guided by Yong-ho. And now Ophelia and Eligos knew what he was going to do.

Yong-ho literally poured out all his mana. He released much more mana than he did when he forcibly made Salami—his dungeon spirit in the past.

Lucia screamed.

[All the stored mana in the dungeon has been released!]

[Please stick it out well! Master!]

Yong-ho was kind of a vehicle at the moment. Almost all the mana of the Mammon family, including that of Yong-ho himself and the dungeon spirits was poured into Kaiwan through his body. At last, the arena’s dominance was blocked instantly. Yong-ho and Kaiwan’s souls were directly connected!

[Master!]

Lucia hastily stopped releasing mana.

Catalina, Eligos, and Ophelia collapsed or stepped back because of the repulsive force transmitted through their own Brigada.

Yong-ho released his hand from Kaiwan’s shoulder. He stumbled while stepping back. Then he roared in no time.

A new power was surging inside him. It was something he experienced every time he obtained a powerful dungeon spirit.

Kaiwan had four horns. Because of this, it did not bring about innovative change to Yong-ho with five horns. However, it was never insignificant. Yong-ho felt that his mana was upgraded once more. What he wanted was not an increase in mana alone.

‘The power of distortion!’

He felt it. His greed sensed a new power in him.

By keeping Tigrius as his dungeon spirit, Yong-ho acquired the power of combination mana. With that power, he combined the power of life and death into one and dealt a fatal blow to Embrio.

It was the same this time. And this was the reason why he chose Kaiwan as his dungeon spirit.

The floor master on the 18th floor. The power of the shadow he used did not benefit Yong-ho. He could do as much by using Catalina’s black mana.

By acquiring Kaiwan, however, he could gain the power of distortion called the absolute shield.

Catalina, Ophelia and Eligos also began to roar. Since Yong-ho, their master, became stronger, they also experienced growth, as well. And at this moment, there was another one that was growing.

Kaiwan wrapped her own shoulder. She screamed, sprinkling red light from her eyes.

A fifth horn rose from the middle of her forehead. The moment she crossed the wall that had been tightly blocked for decades, Kaiwan felt she became completely new.

And when it was all over, everyone in the room was gasping for breath. But they were all smiling. Yong-ho clenched his fist. His growth now had proven everything. He “hijacked” Kaiwan from the arena, and he succeeded in growing stronger, along with his dungeon spirits.

Kaiwan smiled brightly. Indeed, she felt liberated from the arena after decades. The unpleasant senses that always dominated her soul disappeared.

Instead, she had a new connection to Yong-ho. She was happy. She was never offended. Rather, she felt faithful satisfaction.

Kaiwan licked her lower lip once. With joy in her ferocious eyes, she approached Yong-ho and whispered gently, “My master, you’re the one that I have to give all my body and soul.”

“Kaiwan?”

He was embarrassed, but she was calm. She hugged his neck and kissed Yong-ho.

Although it was short, her kiss was much more passionate than before.

She withdrew her lips from his. He looked at her blankly, and she laughed mischievously as if to provoke everyone around her.

“I am now yours.”

She winked at him after saying that. In terms of the nuance of her words, it looked like Yong-ho became her dungeon spirit.

And the one watching this scene in the back nodded alone.

Then he said in an inaudible voice, [It’s the power of his anguish again.]

Aamon smiled gently.
