Dungeon Maker - Chapter 203
Chapter 203: The Flow of Fighting (6)
Because of this power, he could grow without an army. He could hide himself until he himself gained enough strength.
Only two people existed in this world. So, even if the King of Gluttony was inside Yong-ho’s dungeon, it didn’t matter. There was no support from the dungeon, nor the help of the dungeon spirits. There was only the battle for power in this dog-eat-dog world.
The reason why the King of Gluttony brought the undead army with him was not because he wanted to overwhelm the House of Mammon. He just needed them until he could get close enough to the master of the House of Mammon to activate his power.
The King of Gluttony so easily succeeded in activating his power that he forgot his impatience. Indeed, he felt cozy in the hunting ground after a long time. The impatience that plagued him now turned into a sense of expectation.
“You have grown up, and you really look inviting now, King of Greed.”
It was worth the wait. He felt he was right when he gave Yong-ho enough time to grow up.
Although harvesting time was distorted by the King of Violence, it was still a satisfactory harvest.
Since he activated his power, it didn’t matter how Yong-ho killed the Ten Warriors. In this land where Yong-ho could not get the support of the dungeon as well as his subordinate spirits, there was no way for him to overpower the King of Gluttony.
“Let me eat you, King of Greed.”
The King of Gluttony already began to drool profusely, as if to reveal his nature as a devil.
The king released mana, while he kept gulping down.
Yong-ho saw the king activating his power, drooling. It was obviously terrifying mana.
Indeed, it befitted him as the king.
Yes, he was a king, and his power befitted him in such a position.
Yong-ho stretched out his hands. Grabbing in the air, he got the magic spear of the red lotus.
It was something that could become united with Yong-ho, so he could stay with Yong-ho despite the king’s enormous power.
As one of Mammon’s 12 Spirits and the one who witnessed the power of the ‘real king,’ Aamon made the request to Yong-ho.
[Show it to me, my master. You, great King of Greed!]
The King of Gluttony flinched at the moment he heard a strange voice that was not supposed to be heard here. However, he had no time to respond. A huge mana that could shake off such thoughts instantly exploded in front of his eyes.
Yong-ho’s six horns, which could be comparable to the king’s, radiated a tremendous mana.
He didn’t waste the time he gained when the king was embarrassed. While holding Aamon, he held his right fist to the chest. Then, he activated the heart of the Demon God, Mammon’s legacy, to fill the gap of power between him and the king.
It was exactly as the king said.
Yong-ho could not get Lucia’s support nor could he mobilize the mana of his subordinate spirits except for Aamon. He could not even get Scathach’s help.
But Yong-ho didn’t need them because the King of Gluttony was also alone now.
Both of them were kings with the power of sin.
The claws of the Demon God’s heart got into Yong-ho’s chest. Each time they got into it, it increased Yong-ho’s power more than before.
A total of four claws were triggered. That was the maximum that Yong-ho now could handle.
A hunting ground or dining table.
It was a place where one of the two must die before getting out.
Yong-ho didn’t respond to the king’s description of this place. Instead, he rushed toward him violently. He became the one and only hunter chasing his prey here.
There was something like a flow in the fighting.
And the flow could overcome any gap created by objective indicators of strength.
The King of Gluttony was strong.
His mana was obviously superior to Yong-ho’s. His body, which evolved several times through “predation,” another power of Gluttony, was hard, fast, and strong.
Based on the objective indicators alone, he was stronger than Yong-ho.
But that factor alone did not point to ‘absolute’. It wasn’t just the numerical supremacy that determined the outcome of a fight.
Yong-ho had a talent for fighting. The moment he rushed toward him forcefully, he already noticed the gap. And he understood that in order to overcome this unfavorable situation, he had to control the flow.
Although there was a gap between their mana, they had the same number of horns anyway. Yong-ho could make good use of his attack before the King of Gluttony. Moreover, the heart of the Demon God filled the gap between Yong-ho and the king even for a short time.
To control the flow, Yong-ho had to disperse the king’s fighting energy. He had to take the pre-emptive strike against the king to take the initiative.
Yong-ho held his breath. The moment he hit the ground, he changed into a silver bullet and crossed the space.
The king was panicked. It confused him that Yong-ho turned into the hunter, revealing his teeth and claws, targeting him now instead of being a prey.
He sized up Yong-ho through Embrio. He found the cause of Yong-ho’s rapid growth in the sin of Greed. But he didn’t know enough about Yong-ho. He didn’t even imagine anything like the Labyrinth of Greed or Mammon’s 12 Spirits.
And such a gap in intelligence made a decisive difference.
Right now, Yong-ho was a very powerful creature that exceeded the king’s expectations.
Objectively speaking, Yong-ho was still weaker than the king, so it took time for the king to fully accept the new fact about Yong-ho.
It wasn’t that long. It was very short.
It was imperative that Yong-ho shouldn’t miss that moment.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two disappeared. At the same time, the violent green flames spewed out of Aamon and covered the surroundings.
The king instinctively closed his eyes. Yong-ho took another step.
Checking out the king’s lower body, he rushed low and fast to attack it.
The king was a right-hander. He had Godly Energy on his right hand, and he enjoyed fighting rather than magic.
Embrio’s tips about the King of Gluttony were fragmentary. But when they were put together, Yong-ho could find the gap.
The king generated mana to drive out the green flames. Then he opened his eyes urgently to look for Yong-ho. However, Yong-ho was in the middle of the green flames. Yong-ho’s energy was everywhere, and the dazzling green flames disturbed the king’s vision momentarily.
The lag time was only a second or so.
And that one second made a difference. The moment Aamon exploded, the king screamed in pain. The ultra-high temperature spear with the green flames penetrated the king’s waist.
It was a powerful blow. However, Yong-ho let go of Aamon instead of twisting it.
He immediately deactivated Aamon and lowered his posture as if he was almost lying on the floor.
The king’s long and big arm penetrated the space where Yong-ho was a moment ago.
Tremendous wind pressure tore the space. The king rotated his whole body and struck him with his right fist.
It was a lightning strike. But Yong-ho threw himself to the left to avoid it. He focused on the king’s Godly Energy that caused something like a small earthquake after tearing apart the ground. It was like the head of a beast. Burning red, it wrapped around the king’s right arm just like Yong-ho’s magic field.
Yong-ho rolled his eyes again. The king also saw him.
Aamon shouted at Yong-ho, [Defend!]
The space was torn. The head of the red beast that came out from Yong-ho’s left side opened its mouth. Yong-ho immediately raised his left arm. A shield of distortion released from Kaiwan’s ring blocked the beast’s head by a hair’s breadth.
Yong-ho felt hot. As if he was hit by a truck, Yong-ho was pushed back. The shield of distortion was quickly crushed and swallowed up by the king’s Godly Energy.
Yong-ho discovered that the king’s Godly Energy didn’t break the ground only. Part of it leaped into space. Only the invisible part of it struck Yong-ho from the side.
The king withdrew his fist. There was no more embarrassment on his face. This land was his hunting ground, after all. It was a dining table where he ate so many people!
The king attacked Yong-ho again. The mana emanating from his six horns overwhelmed the surrounding area.
It wasn’t just a fight between the two. The clash between the invisible mana of the two was also a variable that influenced the victory and defeat of their fighting. If this place had not been the boundary of the King of Gluttony, the surrounding area would have been destroyed just by the collision of their mana.
Yong-ho stopped breathing once again. He then rushed face to face toward the king, who was also charging at him. Faced with the king, he released the mana that he sharpened hard.
Their mana collided primarily. With the surrounding area reverberating hard, the king stretched out his fist. Yong-ho lowered his posture. He remembered Gusion’s teaching at that moment. Instead of releasing mana again, he used it internally. The moment he was convinced of the trajectory of the king throwing a punch, he exploded mana inside.
Yong-ho’s movement accelerated. Ignoring the king’s punches, he got closer to the king. Then he jumped vertically without missing the distortion of the mana he felt on the right.
Bang!
