Dungeon Maker - Chapter 284
Chapter 284: Mammon (8)
The power of temptation of the King of Lust was indeed very strong. Kaiwan could understand why no one except for the Queen of Fury with the same Sins and Godly Energies could confront the King of Lust. It was difficult for him to endure the power of Greed through Brigada. Even the power of passion Kaiwan inherited from Magnadon did not help much.
Kaiwan wanted to help the King of Lust. She wanted to kiss the top of his feet. She wanted to be held in the king’s arms. She wanted to listen to whatever the king told her to do. She was willing to bark if the king wanted her to. She felt happy when she bowed to the king and obeyed him.
“Bullshit! Yong-ho is mine!”
Kaiwan fought off all those delusions by thinking of Yong-ho whenever she was seduced by the King of Lust. She was the one chosen by Yustia among the subordinate spirits of the House of Mammon as the one who could best resist the king’s temptation. Catalina couldn’t resist the King of Lust since the blood of a Succubus was flowing in half of her body. It was none other than Kaiwan who had the most affection for Yong-ho among the remaining subordinate spirits.
“Ahhhh! It’s my determination as his official wife!”
Kaiwan shouted again desperately then empowered her whip sword. She distorted the space itself, so no northern forces could approach the King of Lust and Queen of Fury.
The Queen of Fury heard Kaiwan shouting desperately. She wanted to refute or deny it, but she couldn’t afford it. Maybe she didn’t even think about it.
‘Are you going to hit me?’
‘No, because it hurts.’
‘Don’t do it!’
‘Just love me!’
The power of temptation of the King of Lust was so strong. Sins and Godly Energies neutralized the power of other Sins but didn’t offset them.
The King of Lust had lived for at least one thousand years. Given how long the king possessed the power of Sin, the Queen of Fury was no match for the king. The queen was far inferior to the king in terms of the ability to understand and use the Sins and Godley Energies.
The Queen of Fury put up with it by clenching her teeth. She thought of hundreds of thousands of tribesmen of her eight clans who committed suicide, succumbing to the temptation of the King of Lust. Finally, the queen brought out the Sin of Fury more intensely with anger and remembered Yong-ho’s love while relying on the mana of Greed through the Brigada ring.
“Kuaaaaat!” The Queen of Fury gave a cry.
At that moment, the Godly Energy of Lust in the shape of a long sword broke the queen’s powerful thruster weapon. It did not stop there, leaving a sharp sword wound on the white and soft skin of the queen.
The Queen of Fury was often called a war fanatic because she had experienced so many battles. She had been the hope of the eight clans since she was born, so she went through rigorous martial arts training since childhood to become the best warrior of her people.
But she was not a match for the King of Lust.
In short, the King of Lust was a sword demon. He was already called the best swordsman in the demon world a thousand years ago. Although the Queen of Fury was a famed war veteran, she could not confront the king alone.
‘Let’s try to gain as much time as possible. That’s all I have to focus on right now. I have to trust Yong-ho, my love!’
The Queen of Fury relied on the Sin of Fury, which made its owner stronger as she became more furious. Although she was inferior to the king in terms of mana and skills, she outpowered the king in terms of her Herculean power and defensive power. The Queen of Fury blocked the attack by the king with her body literally.
The role of the Queen of Fury was to gain time for Yong-ho. If Yong-ho defeated the King of Pride, it meant the victory of the entire southern army.
Of course, the best scenario would be for the Queen of Fury to defeat the King of Lust then help Yong-ho fight the King of Pride, but that was more than she could chew.
The Queen of Fury clenched her teeth and swung her fists endlessly. Thanks to the way she fought in battle, marked by her relentless attack without stopping, the queen could make up for her inferior strength, compared with the King of Lust. Just like the queen was struggling to put up with the difficult situation, the king could not overpower her as easily as he thought.
The Godly Energy of Fury, which looked like a beast’s teeth, bit off the air. The King of Lust managed to avoid the attack by jumping off the ground. Then, after narrowing the distance with the queen, the king approached her from the side and swung the Godly Energy of Lust violently.
The king’s swift attack while jumping down from the sky was beautiful. The queen hurriedly twisted her body and avoided the Godly Energy of Lust. But the long sword passed barely over her shoulders and chest, leaving a long scar on her white skin once again.
The Queen of Fury and the King of Lust looked at each other. The queen pulled her fist, and the king withdrew his sword surprisingly quickly. However, their actions were far from their attack against each other. As if they promised to do so, they stepped back at the same time. Both of them looked up at the sky, with their hearts pounding hard.
There were cracks all over the sky.
The celestial door was opened.
<hr />
Even after a thousand years, nobody could find out exactly where the celestial hole was opened. In some cases, the celestial hole was opened in an unexpected place, and in other cases, it opened and disappeared in the land where no one lived.
However, it did not mean that the celestial beings could not fully control where to open the celestial hole. The more widely the celestial door was opened, the more aggressively they opened the celestial hole, just like they chose a city or an army garrison instead of a land with nobody or nothing.
Yuno and Yustia, who belonged to the non-combat series among Mammon’s 12 Spirits, stood on the deck of the giant red dragon Tiamet and looked down at the sky. Yustia’s cards were listed in the air automatically, indicating the number and size of the celestial holes. There were already five holes in the celestial world that were already open and opening at this moment.
It was different from the last battle. It was not a situation where the southern and northern forces could withdraw their forces. They had to fight the celestial world in a situation where the two forces were entangled. They were already ready for it when they witnessed the appearance of a couple of super-sized godly men.
After taking back the stack of cards, Yustia snapped her fingers to leap into the room where the core of the giant red dragon Tiamet was located. The best they could do was to lend whatever power they had to the Labyrinth of Greed through Tiamet.
Yuno remembered her memory one thousand years ago. Just thinking about it made her shudder. She was breathing more and more roughly.
“It will be different this time. It will be different.”
Yustia said that, and Yuno nodded. The celestial door was not fully open yet.
Yuno, who counted the stars, prayed for Mammon, the King of Greed. Together with Yustia, she delivered all of her mana to the Labyrinth of Greed.
<hr />
A super-large godly man stuck his head out of the hole. His black eyes were even more terrifying because his whole body was covered with white light.
There were five celestial holes, and the super-large godly men stuck their heads out of the four of them. Celestial beings wrapped in gray light were coming out of the one remaining hole toward the earth as if water was pouring out.
The northern forces were in extreme confusion. One of the generals in charge of them could not even swear, overwhelmed by fear. He was just thinking of stopping the fight and running away from the battlefield.
The southern army was also agitated because they witnessed what the super-large godly men had done in the last battle.
Skull, who was smashing the northern forces at the forefront of the southern army, quickly turned his head. He made up his mind, watching the super-large godly man who came out of the hole. After entrusting the Skull unit to the Death Knights, he jumped off the ground. Bucephalas carrying Skull on his back soared into the air and rushed toward the super-sized godly man.
The celestial power emanating from the super-sized godly man was rushing toward Skull like a storm. But Skull cut off the power of the celestial world by wielding Baphomet’s sickle with the wicked energy of purple light. Then he tore it apart with the powerful mana and opened the way.
“Skullkull!”
Skull was determined to defeat one godly man from the celestial world. Watching him from a distance, Biryubakcha, the head of the Garura clan, came to his senses.
He hastily issued a new order.
“Surround yourselves with mana! Prepare for celestial power!”
Unlike the disorderly northern forces, the southern forces were in good shape and fully prepared for the fight. Although they witnessed the celestial doors, they were not overwhelmed with fear.
[The power of the celestial world is coming! Be prepared for its shock!]
Shouting like that, Lucia sprinkled the power of the Labyrinth of Greed over the heads of the southern army. The aura that empowered the southern forces now became a barrier to the celestial power.
Some of the northern forces right under the hole were killed at once without even giving a cry.
“Help me! Help me!”
Some of the northern forces abandoned their weapons and jumped into the southern army.
Most of them were killed by the southern forces wiedling their swords, but some of them survived. The southern army remained cool-hearted even at this moment. Because of this, they could not completely turn away the northern forces stricken with fear and shock. Even though they were fighting against each other, they tried to keep the gentleman’s agreement in an urgent and dangerous situation like this.
“Leave the northern forces alone! Just prepare for the godly men! Just keep your position!”
Biryubakcha issued another order. The battle between the godly men wrapped in white light and the southern army finally began.
Gusion cursed at them. While looking for a chance to help Yong-ho, who was in the thick of fighting the King of Pride, he turned his head. Two godly men appeared from a hole in the sky.
They weren’t as huge as those from the other four holes. But they were even more dangerous.
They were none other than the godly generals.
