Dungeon Maker - Chapter 261
Chapter 261: The King of Greed (1)
Several things happened at the same time.
At the moment when the forces of the King of Gluttony clashed against the forces of the Queen of Fury, the army of the Dungeon Market led by Orobas, the strongest Herculean power, hit the Temple of the eight clans and other important areas.
Right at the moment when the Queen of Fury clashed with the King of Lust, the King of Pride led Bifronz, the best intellect, and Abrasax, the strongest magical power, to attack the King of Violence.
When Yong-ho, the King of Greed, saved the Queen of Fury from the King of Lust, Gusion, regarded as the strongest among Mammon’s 12 Spirits, defeated Orobas.
In the meantime, there was a final battle going on between the King of Violence and the King of Pride in the western region.
All three battles were over finally. But Yong-ho did not move, leaning back in the captain’s seat of the giant red dragon—Tiamet.
Shortly after Yong-ho led his subordinate spirits through the door of space to support the Queen of Fury, Tigrius headed north with Tiamet, the giant red dragon. Whatever the outcome of the battle, he needed to pick up Yong-ho and his subordinate spirits immediately. The 24 hours required for the reopening of the door of space were too long.
When Yong-ho drove out the forces of the King of Gluttony by joining hands with the Queen of Fury, Tiamet led by Tigrius arrived timely.
Despite the tragic massacres at the temple and elsewhere, the Queen of Fury fought it out tenaciously. She belatedly cried out at the tragedy, but she wept behind Yong-ho’s back. Tears were all over her face even though she tried to hide it. She also got aboard Tiamet, trusting Yong-ho’s hypothesis that the King of Violence might have been ambushed. Some representatives of the eight clans were strongly opposed to her riding Yong-ho’s flying vehicle, Tiamet, only with her bodyguards, she didn’t give up.
Dritarastra, the Queen of Fury, trusted Yong-ho as an ally as well as a man. Besides, the giant red dragon, Tiamet, was essential in supporting the King of Violence. Tiamet, Mammon’s flagship flying vehicle, which was completed by Sitri, could fly in the sky several times faster than the giant wild bird, Astra.
But everything was too late.
Shortly after Tiamet headed west, Yong-ho heard several other news.
Sitri woke up after recovering.
The King of Violence’s secret hideout, Rare, disappeared from the ground.
Sitri didn’t say much perhaps because the Queen of Fury was right next to her or perhaps because she was still feeling unwell. Sitri only said that the King of Violence made himself explode to defeat the King of Pride, adding that she would talk more at the Garden of Life.
Now, about thirty minutes had passed since Yong-ho was briefed about the war status.
[Master, you have arrived at the Temple of the eight clans.]
[The Queen of Fury is preparing to get off Tiamet.]
Lucia whispered to Yong-ho in a cautious voice. Feeling a bit heavy, Yong-ho raised himself. When he got out of the captain’s door, Catalina, who was sitting in the hallway, quickly stood up.
“Why don’t you come inside?” Said Yong-ho.
When he expressed sympathy, Catalina laughed awkwardly and said timidly, “Because I thought you wanted to stay alone there.”
She let down her ears as if she was blue, but her tail fluttered slightly. He felt light-hearted when he noticed her lovely posture. After patting her hair pleasantly, he stepped forward hurriedly.
There were already lots of people gathered when he got off Tiamet. The Queen of Fury and her bodyguards including Kirtimuka were in one place while Kaiwan and the dungeon spirits of the House of Mammon were on stand by across them.
The Queen of Fury, standing with her shoulders drooping as if feeling melancholic, quickly corrected her posture when she saw Yong-ho. She first walked to him with strides and reached out.
He did not hesitate to shake her hands again this time. He held her little warm hand. A smile was once again on her face.
“Thank you for helping me a lot today. I think I owe you so much that I can’t pay it back easily.”
In fact, it wasn’t just that he saved her from the King of Lust. Gusion and other subordinate spirits he dispatched saved the Temple of the eight clans and their representatives. Although half of them, including King Yaksha and King Mahoraga, were killed, she had to give Yong-ho the credit for the survival of other representatives.
Her sincere look and voice also boosted Yong-ho’s morale.
He said, tightening his hand holding hers, “You’re welcome. We are allies.”
The Queen of Fury laughed again. Not only the King of Violence and the heads of the eight clans were arms were like adult protectors that she could rely on. Despite the loss of half of them, she could not lose her courage not because she was the queen, but because of her alliance with the House of Mammon, which they formed without any detailed plan at first.
“I look forward to seeing you again sooner or later. It’s time for us to really work together.”
It was certain that the King of Violence made a suicidal attack against the King of Pride, but it was unclear what happened to the King of Pride and the two directors of the Dungeon Market. Moreover, the King of Lust was still alive.
“I look forward to working with you, too. Goodbye,” Yong-ho said goodbye to her.
The Queen of Fury let go of his hand reluctantly. Looking back at him once more, she got off Tiamet with her bodyguards.
Watching all this, Kaiwan narrowed her eyes with suspicion. She pointed at the queen with her chin. She whispered to Catalina next to her, “Hey, don’t you think she is openly trying to woo him? What do you think as a seasoned expert in this field?”
Catalina opened her eyes wide at her unexpected question because she recalled Yustia’s love horoscope.
The owner of the third card. A pure virgin. Like Catalina, she was born under the same star sign and was protected by a drunk dragon.
While blinking her eyes, Catalina quickly raised her tail as if she was a bit upset. Why was she called a gullible pure virgin like her? But she admitted the reality easily and pondered over her question.
While Kaiwan and Catalina chatted like this, new passengers appeared at Tiamet, the red giant dragon. They were Gusion and the arena spirits under his command.
“Master!”
“Gusion.”
Instead of shaking hands, Yong-ho and Gusion lightly touched their palms. Just a quick look at their body could confirm how violent and intense their battles were.
“How about Orobas? Was he strong enough?”
“Well, he is a level lower than you, master.”
Cracking a joke like that, Gusion stepped aside. Ophelia and Eligos, who appeared behind this giant monster Gusion, once again got a lot of load off Yong-ho’s heart.
“Thanks for your great work, Eligos and Ophelia.”
“I, Ophelia, the daughter of Enderion, am honored to see you, our master of the Mammon family.”
“Master, it’s nice to see you back.”
Ophelia greeted Yong-ho politely while Eligos, who was momentarily embarrassed by Ophelia’s verbose greetings, replied as usual while trying in vain to come up with some nice greetings.
Yong-ho tried to appreciate the great fighting of the arena spirits. In fact, he felt a bit awkward to do so because there were some previous masters of the Mammon family among them, but none of them complained to Yong-ho because they had been in the arena for so long, and they recognized him as the King of Greed.
Right at the moment when Yong-ho was about to praise the arena spirits, he shuddered with some moaning.
“Master!”
“King of Greed!”
At that moment, all their voices, including Gusion’s, were silenced by a big shouting.
It was the shouting of the Queen of Fury who got out of Tiamet, the giant red dragon.
Yong-ho felt his heart was beating. It was pounding more violently than ever. When he got the Godly Energy of Gluttony or faced the Queen of Fury right before his eyes, his heart didn’t beat so violently as it did now.
Breathing out roughly, he hurriedly jumped out of Tiamet. He saw the Queen of Fury and her bodyguards waiting for him outside. All of them were pointing in one direction, and the Queen of Fury laid her hands on her chest as if she felt something strange.
Yong-ho also looked at the sky. It was approaching him. The more he closed the distance with it, the more his heart was pounding.
“It’s the Godly Energy of Greed!” He said spontaneously.
“Cane?!”
Catalina, who had the strongest eyesight among them, spoke. But it was only a moment. Catalina witnessed the object flying from a distance change its shape. Initially, it looked like an old-fashioned magic wand, but it now turned into a simple stick. Then it transformed itself again and finally took the form of a spear.
Yong-ho raised his hand. He held the spear that flew through the sky in his hand. It was such an exquisite crossover that nobody knew whether he caught it, or it landed on his hand.
But not only Yong-ho, but everyone else knew what it was. The Queen of Fury, who had the Sin of Fury and the Godly Energy of Fury, clenched her chest. Both Sins were resonating violently at the moment.
The Sin of Greed.
The Godly Energy of Greed.
The Godly Energy of Greed was crying in his mind. It was truly a curious experience for him. Perhaps, it was because he obtained it only a moment ago, but the Godly Energy of Gluttony had never expressed its feelings like this.
The crying of the Godly Energy of Greed never expressed itself with concrete words. So, Yong-ho just felt it. It seemed like it was complaining why he changed the flying direction.
He laughed unwittingly. The complaint of the Godly Energy of Greed was very brief, but it conveyed a due message to him that it should.
It was none other than the Godly Energy of Greed that the great King of Greed Mammon had used over a thousand years ago.
This was the Godly Energy of true Greed.
It was also the last gift of the King of Violence to Yong-ho.
It was an object that he put up like a tombstone in Mammon’s grave to pay homage to his master.
That was all. All kinds of color radiated from the magic field mounted on Yong-ho’s left arm, which had been called the new Godly Energy of Mammon or new Greed.
It wasn’t just a simple resonance, and Yong-ho noticed it.
The magic field that he needed to get the recognition of Mammon’s 12 Spirits was not something like the Godly Energy of new greed.
Scathach was mistaken about it.
