Chapter 230: Surprise Attack (2)

Suddenly summoned, they were in a big confusion. Apparently, they appeared after being called by their master, the King of Gluttony, but the king was not seen anywhere.

They looked at him all of a sudden because they could feel the late king’s mana in him.

When a spirit reached the level of a Death Knight, he would form his own ego and a fairly high level of intellectual ability, let alone the Vampire Lords, the ruler of blood.

They were thinking while looking at him. The man they were looking at now was obviously the master of the House of Mammon that their master, the King of Gluttony, had ordered them to attack. If so, should they attack him now? Or should they wait and watch the situation a little more?

But they didn’t have to agonize. Yong-ho had no intention of giving them any time to make the choice from the beginning.

His subordinate spirits released their mana at once. Just like those present at the auction house did, they ruthlessly released mana massively.

The Vampire Lords and Death Knights became trapped in a storm of mana out of the blue. But that wasn’t all. In addition to the storm of mana, there was one more thing that threatened and scared them.

The Death Knights instinctively sensed it. The Vampire Lords looked back in great astonishment.

Death was standing there.

No Life King, namely Skull that inherited the power of Baphomet, the incarnation of death.

The undead who belonged to death felt fear of death before their eyes. The purple energy of death enveloped them.

And the last shock struck the undead—six towering horns on Yong-ho’s head.

Greed and Gluttony released their powers at the same time. The Godly Energy of Mammon and that of Fury radiated the light at the same time.

The undead couldn’t properly control their bodies like those who forgot to breathe. They were overwhelmed by the powerful mana that closed in on them from all sides.

The undead army originally prepared by the King of Gluttony.

They were his subordinate spirits based on their mutual contact. So, no matter how much Yong-ho possessed the Sin of Gluttony and mana of the late king, it was impossible for him to perfectly control them.

So, it was necessary for Yong-ho to renew the contract. As was the case with Salami in the past, he needed to make the contract radical and compulsory.

“Alright. Let’s move on from now on.”

He shook his head slightly from side to side. Each of his subordinate spirits also released the mana of Gluttony and Greed through their own Brigada.

Wicross, the Red Moon Knight and the head of the Vampire Lords, gulped for the first time since he became a Vampire Lord.

Yong-ho approached him. While grabbing the flames of the red lotus from the air, he ordered, “It’s time for re-education.”

Shortly afterward, Wicross screamed for the first time since becoming a Vampire Lord.

“This is the mask you mentioned.”

“As you requested, I made it in the shape of a dragon.”

Yong-ho nodded when he saw Burgrim’s small blackboard. After congratulating Burgrim in satisfaction, he took the item Burgrim brought to Catalina and Kaiwan.

After completing the true and correct re-education of the undead army, Yong-ho ordered his subordinate spirits to rest and headed to his room. He met Burgrim without waiting long. Burgrim, who always worked hard, finished the stuff in a short time that Yong-ho asked for.

What Burgrim brought was a mask in the shape of a dragon’s head.

Since it was worn over the entire head, the mask was actually more like a helmet rather than a mask. Although the color was different, its basic shape was similar to the helmet of a silver dragon armor.

While touching the metallic shiny mask, Yong-ho quickly wore it on his head. Just like Burgrim paid special attention to it, he didn’t feel any stuffiness when he put it on.

“How do I look?”

“It’s awesome.”

Catalina clapped, flapping her tail. Seeing her ears flapping as always, he thought she was really impressed with the mask.

“It’s great, isn’t it?”

Yong-ho also liked it quite a bit, so he smiled happily and looked at Kaiwan this time.

However, unlike Catalina, Kaiwan frowned and snapped, “Isn’t it too childish? The color seems too red. More than anything else, you look like a child when you are happily smiling like that.”

Yong-ho snorted at her comment and said, “I don’t think you are not qualified to make such a comment as a woman yelling at me to be ready for punishment, wielding a whip sword every time we spar.”

Kaiwan flinched at Yong-ho’s point that hit the nail on the head.

“Nope, I didn’t.”

Yong-ho didn’t have to keep a straight face by narrowing his eyes because Catalina stopped fluttering her ears and tail and said seriously, “Yes, you did.”

“Yeah, I did,” Kaiwan reluctantly agreed.

When Yong-ho agreed with Catalina, Kaiwan had no choice but to admit it.

With her face and neck turning red, she was at a loss about what to do.

But he was not cruel enough to deal another blow to her. He took off the mask and touched it again and smiled.

It shouldn’t be the House of Mammon that would strike the King of Gluttony’s territory.

A mysterious force.

The being who, wearing a red dragon mask, controlled the elite squad of the highest undead.

“Now, then, shall we get a kick out of it from now on?”

[Master, do you know you look like a very bad villain right now?]

[I like you better because you’re a villain.]

[I’m really excited to see the mask and attire that your subordinate spirit Kaiwan would be wearing.]

Lucia spoke to everyone loudly, and Kaiwan, who was blushing, flinched.

On the other hand, Catalina laughed quietly.

And the next day Yong-ho began to attack.

***

Dungeons were like castles or fortresses in the human world.

Inhabitants of the demon world built their houses around dungeons, and their villages and cities were also settled near the dungeons.

Because of this, it was possible to hide the dungeon’s internal facilities and scale, but it was almost impossible to hide the fact that the dungeon existed. The kings knew where the dungeons were located in the territory of another country, and they also knew the total number of dungeons very well, even if there was a slight error.

There were a total of 56 dungeons and 40 masters or lords under the King of Gluttony.

Yong-ho could know it accurately because he took away everything from him.

The 56 dungeons could be divided into four major sections. The center, which was directly ruled by the king, and the three regions bordering the territories of the King of Violence, the King of Pride, and the Queen of Fury.

Most of Mammon’s networks were lost, but there were still some left intact. There were a total of five doors of space in the territory of the King of Gluttony, so Yong-ho decided to use the door of space near the territory of the King of Violence.

Yong-ho devised the plan very carefully. He decided on the order of attack after selecting the list of nearby dungeons from the door of the hidden space at the foot of the rocky mountain.

His fight this time was different from his dungeon battles in the southern area. Those masters in charge of the dungeons in the territory of the King of Gluttony were united. So, when he decided to target any particular dungeon, it was not just the soldiers of the dungeon in question. If Yong-ho’s forces dragged their feet on conquering the dungeon, it was certain that the king’s reinforcement army would be dispatched from other dungeons.

‘I feel like a bank robber?’

So, time attack was important. It would be only after Yong-ho’s forces conquered at least four dungeons that their attack was noticed by the allies of the King of Gluttony.

It was a bright moonlit night.

Yong-ho, who passed through the door of space of the control room on the 9th floor, stood in front of a cave located deep in a lonely rocky mountain. The reason why the door of space could be maintained even after more than a thousand years was because it was so well hidden like this. Probably, the rest of the intact networks of Mammon were similarly located deep in the mountains where nobody could get access to.

After breathing in the cold night air, he put on a red dragon’s mask. The reason why he chose the red dragon was because of its association with the King of Violence.

Of course, it was impossible for Yong-ho to divert all charges toward the King of Violence with just this small prop. It was too shallow to do that, and Yong-ho didn’t even want to make an enemy of the king.

All he needed was just a little bit of confusion. And this kind of trick was enough to cause such confusion.

Yong-ho looked at his subordinate spirits who stood before him after passing the door of space one by one. He was accompanied by three for this operation.

“Skull Skull.”

Skull, covered with silver armor, cried out excitedly. He was the king of the undead, which would be good as the incarnation of death, but he was a sacred knight now, wearing silver armor that completely covered his body. To conceal his identity, Skull wore a red and ornate cloak and held a sword and shield with colorful decorations instead of a hammer.

Catalina wore silver armor like Skull to conceal the fact that she was a dark elf. Her tail, which clearly revealed her attitude, was wrapped around her waist so that it was not exposed outside.

And the last member, Kaiwan said while frowning, “I feel like playing a penalty game.”

“You wear it like that usually, right?”

Kaiwan, dressed in a red leotard found in the armory on the 5th floor, kicked his shin, but he gently avoided it.

After howling at him, she raised a whip instead of a whip sword. She swept up her hair dyed in gold then put on a dark red butterfly mask. It was a costume and mask that really suited her.

Yong-ho checked the time. It was time for him to move slowly.
