Dungeon Maker - Chapter 213
Chapter 213: Glorious Return (3)
Yong-ho felt more and more strange about it.
His father added lastly, “Some of the people who have recently woken up said something crazy. They said while they were in a coma, they experienced something like a fantasy world that would appear in movies. Those who woke up before them didn’t say anything like that. But some among those who woke up after March are talking about their fantasy experiences.”
Yong-ho seemed to know why his father mentioned it. Leaning toward him, his father asked, “Do you know anything about this?”
Some of them must have been summoned to an alien world in a coma.
“Well, I’ve never heard of it. How about you, Kaiwan?”
“Coma means that their bodies are left behind here, right? I’ve never heard of an alien summon magic that takes only their souls,” Kaiwan replied quite seriously.
Yong-ho, too, did not hear that a large number of humans appeared in the demon world.
Checking Yong-ho and Kaiwan’s reaction, his father let out a sigh. Then he said feebly, as if he was a bit distraught, “Do you remember Yong-je? I mean your cousin, Yong-je Cheon. He immigrated to England, as you know.”
“Of course I do. I played games with him before I went to the demon world. What happened?”
“Oh my, I hear he fell into a coma then died.”
“I can’t believe Yong-je…”
It was a few years ago that he saw Yong-je’s face last time.
However, he continued to get in touch with his cousin online.
His father put his hands on Yong-ho’s back then said, “I asked you, just in case. Don’t dwell on it too much. He died already several months ago, and even his funeral was already over.”
Yong-ho nodded slowly. Maybe because it’s not the first time he saw someone close to him die, or because he lost contact with his cousin for some time, Yong-ho felt more embarrassed and empty than sad.
“By the way, what has brought you here this time? It’s nice to see your face once in a while, but you surprised me with your unexpected visit,” said his father, smiling on purpose.
Yong-ho also responded with a forced laugh, “You know I’m from the human world, Dad. I hear that it will be good for me to take some fresh air here. I also wanted to introduce Kaiwan to you.”
His father narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was talking about.
“Do you need more Coke?”
“And other stuff.”
Both of them laughed together.
“It’s been a while since I saw you anyway. I’m glad to see my daughters-in-law, too.”
Catalina and Kaiwan smiled shyly at the same time.
With a hearty laugh, his father asked them, “Isn’t he giving you any headache?”
Catalina and Kaiwan rolled their eyes once again, embarrassed.
Yong-ho hoped that his father would get out of his room as soon as possible.

“Oh my God.”
Kaiwan opened her mouth blankly. She could hardly calm down like someone who just experienced a miracle.
She was now standing in front of a big supermarket.
“The human world is really abundant. So many people here, too.”
There were hundreds of items in the supermarket everywhere she looked at.
Not only food ingredients but also all kinds of items were piled up like a mountain here and there.
It was truly a wonder to Kaiwan. She felt like she was in Mammon’s arsenal in the Labyrinth of Greed.
Besides, there were so many people. People were crowded everywhere on the streets.
Population density itself was different from that of the demon world.
Yong-ho, who was somewhat conceited before he knew it, once again pressed the baseball cap Kaiwan was wearing. He pushed the cart with Catalina who covered her head with a hood.
“Yong-ho, Yong-ho. How do you read this?”
The only thing the interpretation magic stone could solve was providing language through voice.
Yong-ho replied, looking at the item that Kaiwan presented with full of curiosity.
“Huh? Salami.”
“Salami?”
“Yes, salami.”
She narrowed her eyes, while Catalina blinked, embarrassed.
Kaiwan inquisitively asked again, “Hey, can you eat this?”
“Yes, why?”
Salami, it was a kind of Italian sausage.
She shook her head from side to side after putting it down.
“You’re so mean. How come you named it like this? If Salami heard about this, he would be very much disappointed.”
“Yuria, Lucia, Baduk. These names have nothing to do with food, right?”
Catalina quickly jumped in.
Yong-ho replied hastily, “No, just salami only. Only salami is a food name.”
Catalina and Kaiwan became even sullen for his reply, which sounded like his excuses, so he quickly pushed the cart. They caught up with him, but he didn’t look back.
***
Two days passed like a flash.
The main purpose of Yong-ho’s visit to the human world, namely the recovery of his body and the Demon God’s heart, was successful. As Scathach said, his exposure to the air of the human world seemed to be helpful to him.
After shopping then visiting the amusement park with Catalina and Kaiwan, Yong-ho opened the door of space after piling up all kinds of items to give his subordinate spirits and others a mountain load of stuff.
“I’m going to come back to take you sooner or later, Dad.”
He grabbed his father’s hands. Fortunately, thanks to his max evolution EXP, his father experienced another evolution, so he had a strong build, something rare for a middle-aged man.
However, Yong-ho didn’t feel good because he had to leave his father behind again.
His father gently wrapped the back of Yong-ho’s hand. He didn’t feel good, either.
He had lots of things to ask Yong-ho, but he could easily find out that the demon world was not a land full of safety and peace.
“Alright, son. Take care. Don’t overwork yourself.”
After Yong-ho said goodbye to him, Catalina and Kaiwan did the same thing.
Kaiwan hugged him suddenly, so Catalina, who only shook hands with him, was showing a regrettable expression. But it was too late for her to hug him.
His father waved at them, standing still, and Yong-ho bowed to him lastly. He then threw himself into the door of space.
***
The King of Violence’s consciousness was separated from his body and hovered in the air.
He recalled a meeting with the King of Sloth. Then he connected the King of Sloth’s demands with what he confirmed from the King of Sloth.
In a way, it was pointless. It was just like tracing things of the past.
There were almost a few of those in those days who survived until now.
The King of Violence turned his gaze from the past to the present. He saw the demon world, facing a period of confusion in the days ahead.
Who would be the hero of the history that would unfold in the coming days?
He was not the King of Gluttony, nor was the Queen of Fury.
The most likely candidate was the King of Pride who ruled in the north.
But he was not alone. There was another one in seclusion, who didn’t reveal himself yet in the demon world.
“The King of Greed.”
The Godly Energy of Greed tipped him that the King of Greed returned.
As his true master, the king came down to the demon world after a thousand years.
The consciousness of the King of Violence closed its eyes. It stopped hovering in the air and united with its main body.
“The King of Greed.”
Ancient Red Dragon. Dragon Lord of the day. The strongest dragon in the demon world.
The man who rose to the position of king confidently even without any of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The King of Violence opened his eyes. His mountain-like giant body began to move.
***
The Queen of Fury opened the letter from the master of the House of Mammon in excitement.
His face that he recalled several times appeared through a video message in the air.
Kirtimuka smiled mischievously behind her back, which looked subtle but dangerous.
Gardimundi looked at Yong-ho’s images in the video rather seriously.
The message Yong-ho conveyed through the video was routine.
In the message, he said he thanked her proposal for alliance and summit talks, which he said were good. He said he would leave it to her to set the date, but argued that the meeting would take place in the unclaimed area in the north. He added he would look forward to seeing her.
His message was plain, but the Queen of Fury didn’t feel like that.
The Queen of Fury lightly pressed the letter down on her heart, feeling it was beating somewhat different from when it did at the auction house.
***
The King of Lust leaned against the throne comfortably. He felt that the deep regrets that had haunted him for a thousand years were coming back to him.
He couldn’t help it. There was no way for him to reverse his betrayal on that day.
The King of Lust admitted his wrongdoing. He closed his eyes in deep regret.
***
The King of Pride reached out. He grabbed the pieces randomly lined up on the chessboard.
His gaze was not fixed on the northern part where a war was going on.
The southern area.
The land where Mammon, the cursed King of Greed, ruled.
The King of Pride smiled. He looked down at the ground from the highest place in the sky.
***
Seven Deadly Sins. Seven Godly Energies.
It had been a thousand and a hundred years since Mammon, the King of Greed, died.
Sin and Sin began to call each other again.
The seven Godly Energies yearned to return to their masters.
After all, the seven Sins returned, along with the seven kings.
Did Sin resonate with Godly Energy because they hoped for the arrival of a new demon king, or was there another reason?
Nobody knew it yet.
