Chapter 265: Massive strike (1)

The light that the King of Violence created by sacrificing himself eliminated the western area from this world. Not only the King of Violence’s hideout, Rare, but also the surrounding forest and its inhabitants were also eradicated without any trace from this world.

The dragons did not go back to the area where everything was gone. The dragons that were living near the king’s hideout moved north and east according to the king’s last will, preparing for the upcoming war.

The night of the demon world was dark blue. The sun, coming from the east, turned the whole world blue or almost black, with its red ray.

The sunlight reached the land that was gone now. The sun drove away the full night in that place where even small birds didn’t come back because of their instinctive fear.

The wind blowing from the east wandered around on the empty land, and it soon turned into a little whirlpool. There was nothing or nobody in the land. So, no one witnessed the tiny whirlpool created by the wind quickly transforming into something else.

It was a twist. Mana raged in the whirlpool created by the wind, which created a passage to a place that would have been impossible normally.

Only mana would swirl in a small twist. But in a slightly larger twist, some other beings from other places descended through the passage.

But this time, nothing special came out of the twist. It was neither mana nor any special being that came out of the twist. It was something different from mana, or something that could be called a force.

The mana scattered around the twist had been altered or rather “contaminated.”

It was an unusual distortion.

Actually, it happened everywhere in the demon world a long time ago.

A strong wind blew again, passing through the traces that the cracks of the world left behind, which could no longer be called a twist.

***

Yong-ho didn’t want to open his eyes.

He didn’t want to wake up to face the reality. It was always dangerous outside one’s blanket.

But unfortunately, he opened his eyes wide before he knew it.

Half asleep, he looked at the ceiling with a blank expression.

His bedroom was on the first floor of the Labyrinth of Greed, namely, on the first basement level, so there was no window or sunlight. But the room was bright because Lucia turned on the lighting device of the room at the scheduled time.

[Sleepyhead, it’s time to wake up]

[Please tell me if you want to sleep a little more.]

[Let me tell your subordinate spirits including Gusion and Scathach that you want to put off today’s schedule a little later.]

Of course, Yong-ho could not sleep any longer. He moved his fingers after overcoming the temptation to stay a little longer on the bed, which was stronger than the temptation of the Succubus. In the corner of a bed which was spacious enough for a mixed martial arts game, though not for running, Catalina was crouching with the blanket all over her body. She usually slept late in the morning.

He reluctantly got up from the bed and looked at the other side of Catalina. Unlike Catalina, Kaiwan was an early riser, but she was not seen on the bed. Apparently, she got up early and went out to wash.

A long and tedious day passed and another day broke.

It was no exaggeration to say that the world was overturned by the King of Pride, but Yong-ho didn’t need to be obsessed with the new reality. He needed some break to fight back.

Finally, he got up from the bed. After taking off Catalina’s blanket, he left the bedroom with her on his back, who was still half asleep.

It was time for him to start the day.

“This is the essence of the guy called Orobas. I’ve brought it here because I thought it would be better for you to take it than me.”

Yong-ho and his subordinate spirits gathered at the gate control station in the space located on the 9th floor of the Labyrinth of Greed, not Scathach’s mansion.

Yong-ho looked at Samael for a moment after receiving the essence of a brilliant color from Gusion. Having lost all her subordinate spirits to the three directors of the Dungeon Market, she made eye contact with Yong-ho with a calm expression.

In fact, she already expressed gratitude to Gusion for taking revenge on Orobas.

Without hesitating any more, Yong-ho grabbed Orobas’s essence.

As the strongest power of the Dungeon Market, he had six horns. As a Red Demon, his mana was clearly one level below Yong-ho’s maximum mana, but it was still very powerful. Orobas was much stronger than Kaiwan or Catalina who had six horns like him.

Orobas’s essence looked really tasty. Not only Greed but also Gluttony was craving for it in Yong-ho’s soul.

However, Yong-ho did not immediately take it. He overcame the temptation even by exercising ‘patience,’ the power of Yustia embedded in Mammon’s Godly Energy.

Of course, it was because he wanted anything like an ordeal that he suppressed the temptation. It was because he wanted to create a synergy effect for an instant big growth.

When he raised his right hand that didn’t hold Orobas’s essence, Scathach and Samael stepped forward at the same time. The two women knelt in front of him and raised their hands to hold his hands.

[From now on, the ceremony of making Scathach and Samael Yong-ho’s subordinate spirits will take place.]

[The current subordinate spirits of the Mammon family, please unleash your power to help our master.]

In fact, Yong-ho planned to make Scathach his subordinate spirit a long time ago. In the case of Samael, Samael herself strongly requested it, while Yustia politely refused it.

Yustia said she could give Yong-ho advice freely as an ordinary spirit, not his subordinate spirit. But Samael, craving for revenge, needed more power. It was only Yong-ho who could give her more power than when she was a director of the Dungeon Market because she lost her own dungeon and her subordinate spirits.

The directors of the Dungeon Market were considered to be on par with the kings in terms of power, although they didn’t have Sins or Godly Energies like them. Even from Yong-ho’s point of view, it would be greatly helpful if he could make Samael, the fastest wing, his subordinate spirit. Despite a decrease in her mana, she still had six horns.

He closed his eyes. All of the subordinate spirits shared their strength through Brigada.

Lucia registered Scathach and Samael as Yong-ho’s subordinate spirits at the same time. He took Orobas’s essence at the moment when his mana was about to increase as a result of their registration.

By simple calculation, Yong-ho now had three types of mana that was equivalent to six horns.

His Gluttony devoured all of its power. His greed did not allow even the slightest leaking of power out of his body.

Soon, his body changed.

The six horns on his head disappeared at once, and instead, seven horns of light appeared.

Like the King of Lust, he now had seven horns. It meant that his mana now went beyond the power of a seven-horn mana.

[I can feel the power!]

[Ah ah ah ah ah-!]

Lucia screamed in a mixture of pain and pleasure so did his subordinate spirits who gathered in a circle around him. Eligos, Ophelia, and Tigrius enjoyed a remarkable increase in their power. A sixth horn soared between the five horns that sprouted over their heads.

Samael was thrilled. She now felt a stronger force than she was as a director of the Dungeon Market. Kaiwan and Catalina, who already had six horns, gained mana that was close to the average mana of Mammon’s 12 Spirits.

Despite the rule that as the number of subordinate spirits increases, the amount of mana that they could gain would diminish, Yong-ho’s subordinate spirits’ mana increased remarkably.

Yong-ho thought it was possible because of everybody’s cooperation.

Orobas’s essence that Gusion obtained, taking Scathach and Samael as Yong-ho’s subordinate spirits, the synergy effect of the Sin of Gluttony and the Sin of Greed, Tigrius’s synthetic union and Yuhoyuan’s power, harmony, and the subordinate spirits’ sharing of their power through Brigada.

As soon as they were done, they gasped for breath. As the moment that seemed like an eternity passed, the mana filling the space door control station scattered in search of its owner.

Catalina and Kaiwan squatted down, and even the strong Red Demons—Ophelia and Eligos—trembled their knees. Tigrius broke into a cold sweat, leaning against his cane. It was only Skull and Gusion who were standing without moving at all.

Wet with sweat, Samael raised her body and said after bowing to Yong-ho, “Master of the Mammon family as well as my body and soul, I’m going to attack the territory of the King of Gluttony. Please give me a go-ahead.”

In fact, Yong-ho set up the attack plan yesterday. The more quickly she ambushed them through her own distribution channel, the better. Moreover, it would be possible to check out the situation of the King of Pride’s camp through the surprise attack.

“Sure, let me approve it. Go and strike them as much as you can.”

Responding to him with a smile, Samael magically connected the space door control station to her dungeon distribution channel. In the meantime, Yuria and Baduk, who was watching from a distance, ran quickly and handed out the energy recovery potion to all of the subordinate spirits.

Yong-ho devised two teams for the attack on the territory of the King of Gluttony. Gusion’s team included Eligos and Ophelia while Samael’s team included Skull, Scathach, and Tigrius.

Since they were going to attack through the distribution channel of the Dungeon Market, not just the door of space, Yong-ho could mobilize a large number of troops. Each team included the exclusive spirits of the arena, Skull’s unit as well as the spirits of the Dungeon Market taken from the warehouses of Sitri and Samael.

Headed by Skull abroad Bucephalas, all the subordinate spirits except for Aamon, Catalina, and Kaiwan left the Labyrinth of Greed. Yong-ho couldn’t figure out how many times he would dispatch them in the future, but he felt he could evolve all of them once more before having it out with the King of Pride. Given the synthetic reinforcement, he could strengthen them much more than now.

After seeing them off, Yong-ho got down to the next job right away. The reason he had Kaiwan and Catalina with him was he had some work to do with them.
