Chapter 143: Rebellion King Embrio (7)
Embrio, who was trying to heal his wounds by using his power, felt his power disintegrating.
Death.
A dark purple light flashed from the magic field in Yong-ho’s left arm. The terrible power of death ate away Embrio’s power.
It was also excessive for Yong-ho. Scathach’s life and Baphomet’s death were different.
The mana of death, raging insanely, pushed its blade into not only Embrio but also Yong-ho.
Moreover, Embrio didn’t give up before the mana of death. He turned all the mana he was trying to exhale to Yong-ho toward Aamon. He resisted the mana of death while empowering the power of regeneration that was constantly diminishing.
Embrio showed a truly thrillsome will, but Yong-ho didn’t care. The driving force of Embrio’s strong will wasn’t important to him. What really mattered was that he had to destroy Embrio at this moment.
Embrio’s mana clashed against Yong-ho’s mana violently.
This type of fight was new to Yong-ho. It could be called a showdown between the two men’s pure mana.
Embrio was a little stronger when it came to mana itself. Because of the energy of death, Yong-ho didn’t fully absorb the Bone Dragon’s mana. Moreover, he used too much mana when he released the force of life.
Yong-ho drew mana from Brigada and didn’t stop there. He hoped more than that to destroy Embrio. Yong-ho took the power of mana greedily!
The power of combination magic, dungeon spirit Tigrius’s power as the master of the house, although the power of his soul was weakened, he still had it.
Greed brought it out. Yong-ho screamed in extreme pain as if his head was breaking.
He added a new light to the magic field emitting purple light.
Scathach’s life was back in strong motion. To bring it out, Yong-ho consumed not only his mana but also his own force of life. He triggered the power of combination while staring at Embrio, astonished by his new power.
It was a mess. It was the power of combination that he couldn’t properly control in the first place. But that was enough. Scathach’s life and Baphomet’s death didn’t cancel out.
The two different forces repelled each other strongly and finally exploded!
Death swallowed up Embrio’s power. The explosion caused by the opposite power of the two blew away Embrio’s magic.
Embrio screamed. Yong-ho roared once again. The green flames of greed surged from Aamon, the magic spear of the red lotus.
***
Yong-ho’s knees were broken helplessly. He couldn’t hold up anymore and flopped down.
He was breathing roughly. He felt like his heart was bursting. And his hand holding Aamon trembled violently.
His mana ran out. He could no longer endure the pain. If he could, he wanted to collapse and faint right away.
However, he once again clenched his teeth and looked straight ahead.
Embrio was down. With his whole body covered in blood, Yong-ho didn’t know how he was wounded.
Unlike Yong-ho himself, Embrio still had mana. But Embrio didn’t activate the power of regeneration. He barely breathed out occasionally.
Yong-ho felt that Catalina was running toward him. Salami, which dared not to intervene in the fierce battle, flew down and landed on the ground to protect its defenseless master.
Yong-ho caught his breath. He raised his upper body while falling forward and clenched his teeth. Although he took the Bone Dragon’s mana too quickly, it was definitely a driving force for his growth. Moreover, his evolution EXP had maxed out thanks to this fight.
So, he had to stand up. He shouldn’t lose consciousness yet. He had to share Catalina’s mana to activate the power of evolution. There were still the remnants of Embrio’s troops in the House of Randolt and in the rear. The fight between Skull and the Death Knight was also not over.
Yong-ho stood up. He stumbled, but he finally stepped forward.
Watching him, Embrio’s hands trembled.
The two faced each other again. Salami stood by Yong-ho’s side. Catalina’s black mana was gradually transferred to Yong-ho through Brigada.
And at that moment, Embrio sprang to his feet. He passed by Yong-ho, who flinched because he couldn’t react instantly. Then Embrio poured all his remaining mana into the ground.
Yong-ho flopped down again. Salami stood between the two.
Embrio’s last attack didn’t miss. The black demon watcher, who was leaning out of the ground halfway, was killed when his heart burst. It was because Embrio activated the secret magic from the day he encountered the watcher.
Yong-ho couldn’t understand the situation. But he realized it instinctively. Instead of attacking himself with the remaining mana, Embrio attacked the demon soaring from the ground.
Embrio, who fell on the watcher’s body, closed his eyes. He couldn’t see any more. Now his mana ran out completely. He had no sign of recovering.
Embrio smiled faintly then squeezed his voice and said, “King of Greed... you’re back...”
Actually, Embrio had been longing for his return throughout his life.
He didn’t want to tell his story in detail nor did he want to persuade the King of Greed to understand him.
He continued, “Hide your greed... Beware of the King of Gluttony...”
The watcher was killed. But nobody knew there might be another watcher. Even if it wasn’t true, the King of Gluttony would soon infer the situation.
Embrio’s hearing, as well as sight, were paralyzed. Even his pain became dull. He didn’t question his own action. Maybe he projected his wishes and unfulfilled dreams onto the new King of Greed.
“King of Greed,” Embrio said for the last time. With a faint smile, he died.
***
Embrio’s army scattered in all directions and fled.
Rikum, who fought fiercely in the dungeon of the House of Randolt, didn’t know the situation of the battle. He simply flopped down on the floor, content with the fact that the battle was over.
Tigrius, who not only helped Skull fight the Death Knight but also Embrio’s troops in the right-wing, was also exhausted. He was pretty much exhausted, but the old gentleman didn’t flop down. He rode his horse to command the surviving Free City troops.
Skull’s armor was shattered again. Claymore was also so badly damaged that Skull could never use it again.
However, Skull grabbed the half-broken Death Knight’s skull with his hand. Only after getting to Yong-ho, it rolled on the floor. As if to reassure him, Skull said in a dying voice even though it was already dead, “Skull Skull.”
Eligos fainted. Ophelia, leaning over Eligos, gave a grunt of pain. Since both of them were strong Red Demons, they could survive. Otherwise, they would have lost their lives by Embrio’s penetration strike.
Catalina, who transferred all her mana to Yong-ho, drooped on Salami’s back. And she was satisfied with the current situation. She hasn’t heard Yong-ho’s answer to her confession, but she felt happy that she confessed and that he survived.
“What a mess!”
Squatting on the floor, Kaiwan spoke. She stretched her legs, leaning against some monster, not knowing whether it was an orc or not. She looked terrible, but at the same time, she looked pretty comfortable.
Yong-ho squatted in front of Kaiwan. Thanks to Catalina sharing mana with him, he could barely move around. If he used mana again, it was certain that he would lose his strength completely, so he put off using the power of evolution later. He also decided to think about Embrio’s last words and actions later.
“Thanks, Kaiwan.”
His short compliment contained his genuine and deep appreciation. He really thanked Kaiwan.
Without her help, it would have been Embrio, not him, who was here.
“You’re welcome. I had a very pleasant vacation thanks to you. I feel like I’m alive after a long time,” she replied with a bright smile.
He felt it before, but her smile was really charming. Moreover, the fact that she made such a smile at him alone was even more revealing.
Alien mana was circulating around Kaiwan’s body. It was none other than Gusion’s mana, not anyone else’s.
“I think I used too much mana. I’m sorry, but I need to return early. I think if I don’t go now, I might die soon. Let me go and get some treatment.”
Kaiwan was a dungeon spirit in the arena. Until the new owner of the arena appeared, the fate of her life and death was left with the arena.
Yong-ho nodded.
“Next time, I’ll get you discharged from there, not just vacation. Let’s eat a lot of delicious things again.”
“That’s great! I look forward to it.”
Kaiwan leaned down. Gusion’s mana grew stronger and stronger.
“Yong-ho Chun.”
Kaiwan called him again. She seemed to hesitate for a moment then rolled her eyes and said, “It’s my wish. Don’t move and stay still. Don’t even answer.”
At that moment, Catalina pricked her ears. Salami felt something ominous.
Yong-ho remained still as she requested, and she moved his body with a grunt.
She wrapped his face with both hands and gently kissed his lips.
Her kiss was short but very intense. It was different from when he kissed Ophelia.
“Hehe.”
Kaiwan laughed in a silly manner, which didn’t fit her at all. After touching his cheek, who hardened like a stone statue, she winked at Catalina, who was shocked in fear.
She winked at Catalina again and said with a smile, “See you later.”
Gushion’s mana enveloped Kaiwan and disappeared with her.
Salami shook its head as if it shouldn’t have seen them. Catalina was drooping on Salami’s back just like wet laundry. She was about to cry now.
Watching them all, Skull laughed heartily. Then it shouted once again for Yong-ho, who was overcome with deep emotions at the victory.
“Skullkull!”
The battle was over. It was a victory for the House of Mammon.
