Chapter 250: Fury (4)
Not all the heads of the eight clans were strong. That was why Orobas felt them trivial after killing them. But he didn't feel bad because of that. He quickly realized how overwhelming his power was, which delighted him a lot.
Indeed, Orobas had been practicing for many years. Because of his hard and continued training, he became stronger and became one of the five directors of the Dungeon Market at last. Given that anyone without one of the Seven Deadly Sins could not become a king, his inclusion into the five-member executive council of the Dungeon Market was the highest position he could hope for as an individual.
But he always felt he was inadequate. He wanted to be a little stronger.
He felt he surpassed what he regarded as the ideal power of a man, but it didn't mean that his thirst for power was quenched.
He indulged himself in excitement while killing them. He rushed to Kuberaika, the head of the Yaksha clan, who violently tore one of the warriors from the alien world.
Orobas could become stronger since he was once a subordinate spirit, with his mana growing drastically. For a Red Demon like him, the growth of his mana was the same as the growth of his physical abilities. Orobas crushed the foolish Kuberaika like he destroyed the alien warrior. Orobas ripped apart his limbs with overwhelming force. Kuberaika, whose limbs were torn while he was alive, screamed terribly in pain, but Orobas ended his pain by trampling on his head.
It was impossible to annihilate the forces of the Queen of Fury with a single surprise attack. However, it was possible to weaken the power of the entire eight clans by killing their chiefs and destroying their main dungeons.
The meeting of the chiefs of the eight clans was truly a blessing to these monsters. They could achieve their intended purpose by annihilating the heads of the eight clans here today.
'Maybe I've achieved more than that.'
Orobas looked west, rubbing against the ground the soles of his shoes stained with the blood and brain water of the Yaksha clan's king—Kuberaika. Perhaps today could be the last day of the Queen of Fury who was running wildly on the battlefield.
"I really feel it's a regret."
He wanted to fight the queen. He felt the strong urge now because he became stronger by becoming the subordinate spirit of the King of Pride.
The Queen of Fury didn't have the Godly Energy of Fury. Her status as the queen was not complete.
So, she could not show a miraculous power like the Queen of Sloth, Sitri.
So, he could fight her, but he felt it was unlikely he would have a chance to fight her.
He turned his body with a happy smile. He grabbed Mahoraga's head and crushed him, who launched a surprise attack from behind.
"Think of it as a glory that you were killed by the strongest Red Demon ever," Orobas said in excitement. It seemed he was influenced by Abrasax who mingled with him recently.
But it didn't matter to him. Obviously, Orobas himself was the strongest Red Demon ever.
Shrugging once, Orobas stepped forward. He shouted loudly to find and kill the remaining heads of the eight clans.
While he was stepping forward, he could feel each of the chiefs of the eight clans weeping, fleeing, or fighting desperately. His shouting, which could be heard 500 meters in radius, now resonated over 700 meters away. Orobas went to the trouble of shouting toward the entrance of the temple then stopped suddenly. He felt the presence of another being that he didn't expect was here in the temple.
Somehow, he was overwhelmed by uneasiness. He turned immediately.
It was a Red Daemon like Orobas himself.
***
The Queen of Fury shouted loudly. Disguised as a giant with the thruster energy, she rolled on the ground and swung the huge ax in her hand. Overpowered by her fierce attack, the forces of the King of Gluttony shuddered and fell on the ground.
The tide of the battlefield, which had once been overturned in favor of the King of Gluttony's forces, was overturned once again. The queen's forces maintained the momentum and crushed their opponents like waves hitting a breakwater.
The Queen of Fury hurriedly raised herself and took out a new weapon while reinforcing her strength by releasing the thruster energy.
Although she was fighting in the middle of tens of thousands of forces on both sides, she could get out of them bravely. Of course, the troops opened the way partly because of her devastating strength, but they were also distracted by a woman with her eyes half-closed right in front of them. She was standing there with her long red hair falling down her shoulders.
Every time the woman with pure white hair brandished her sword, the sky and the earth split.
She dispersed their large troops with her sword to make way for the queen.
The Queen of Fury breathed wildly. Clenching her teeth, the queen stared at the woman. With seven horns of light on her head, the woman looked toward the queen only dozens of meters away, as if she was waiting for the queen to stand up.
'The King of Lust.'
The king changed not only his look but also his gender from a man to a woman.
The tremendous mana that the king released from his seven horns. His strong fighting spirit that the queen could feel even though he was dozens of meters away. The transcendent sword energy that separated heaven and earth. Only the King of Lust had such abilities. Who could have all of those things except for the sword demon Asmodeus?
The Queen of Fury soon shot up her six horns. She erased all the idle thoughts that came to her mind at the moment. She didn't concern herself about the possibility of an alliance between the King of Gluttony and the King of Lust as well as the disappearance of the King of Gluttony.
She needed to focus only on fighting her opponent right now.
At one point, the queen hit the ground and charged at the king. The queen, disguised as a red giant, quickly crossed the distance of dozens of meters and landed right before the king.
The King of Lust looked at her indifferently.
But the queen hit the ground, striking the king with the ax of lightning.
Bang!
A bolt of lightning struck right in front of the king. But it missed the target like before.
It wasn't that the king avoided the attack by stepping aside lightly. It was also not because space was distorted or the invisible force pushed aside her ax of lightning.
The queen cursed at herself. Even before she hit the target, she twisted the trajectory of the ax of lightning.
She didn't hit the king.
It was ridiculous, but the queen was serious. She couldn't hit her target properly because she was distracted whenever she attacked the king.
Nonetheless, the King of Lust stepped forward. He approached the red giant and gently swung his sword.
Everything within the trajectory of the sword split. The Queen of Fury twisted her body desperately, but she could not stop the left arm of the giant from being cut off.
"Your Majesty!"
"Do not come!"
The queen and Kirtimuka shouted almost simultaneously.
Since she was the Queen of Fury, she could even try to attack the queen.
The queen pulled up the ax of lightning stuck in the ground. But the King of Lust again swung his sword against her, and the queen released the full power of the red giant without any hesitation this time. The ax of lightning again hit the ground hard. After lowering her posture and letting his sword over her head, the queen moved her right hand to send off the lightning right before the king. Since she found it hard to attack the king directly, she wanted to mount an indirect attack as best as she could.
A thunderbolt bounced and the ground exploded. The fragments of lightning struck the King of Lust along with dirt, but the king quickly swung his sword to block all of those attacks. This time, the queen made a bold run toward the king and attacked his heart with the lightning that she accumulated until now.
The Queen of Fury felt intense pain in her chest because she was kicked hard by the king when the thunderbolt struck. She bounced off over a dozen meters and rolled on the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
At last, the queen's bodyguards gathered around the queen. Even though he was covered with the fragments of lightning, the King of Fury was not wounded at all except for some damage to his clothes.
But the Queen of Fury was not frustrated because she could ascertain that her indirect attack paid off. Now, she felt she could turn the tide.
The King of Lust looked silently at the queen. Instead of being angry or mocking, he lifted up the Godly Energy of Lust. Then he activated one of the true powers of Lust when it was united with the Godly Energy of Lust.
The king's mana wrapped around the surrounding area. But the queen unconsciously activated the power of Fury and pushed his mana. But it was only the queen who could do that. Those exposed to the king's mana made a revolt against their master.
The queen's bodyguards who gathered around her held their weapons, targeting her. They began to attack her like crazy.
"Your Majesty!"
It was only Kirtimuka, her subordinate spirit, among her bodyguards that did not lose her reasoning. The queen hurriedly tossed both arms and wielded mana. After pushing them back with an invisible force, she shouted ferociously toward the King of Lust. She maximized the power of Fury that became more violent when she got angrier.
But the King of Lust didn't care. As soon as he noticed the loophole when the queen pushed back her bodyguards, the king charged at her, targeting her neck with the sword.
A bolt of lightning struck. Then the sword split the space.
Then the flames of the red lotus rained down between the two.
Bang!
The atmosphere was torn with a roar. The earth shook violently, and the green flames of the red lotus engulfed both the lighting and the sword, whose remnants scattered in different directions from the trajectory they originally intended.
The magic spear was engulfed with the green flames of the red lotus.
It was the first time the Queen of Fury had ever seen it, but she felt thrilled. The moment she saw the spear, her heart started to beat.
Only then did the King of Lust make some expression on his face. He looked at the spear blankly. There was astonishment on his pale face. He knew the name of the spear.
Only
Once again, the green flames arose greatly and separated the two.
The Queen of Fury grabbed her chest before she knew it. She felt like her heart was about to burst when she noticed the man holding the magic spear of the red lotus as soon as the flames disappeared.
The Sin of Fury roared. It showed a strong desire toward her half. But the queen's heart was beating more violently, apart from the resonance of the Sin of Fury.
The King of Lust trembled. It wasn't because of the Godly Energy of Fury that began to roar with the Sin of Fury.
He trembled because of the one who was standing before him, staring at him with the magic spear in hand.
"The King of Greed!"
Yong-ho did not answer. Instead, he swung Aamon, the magic spear of the red lotus, toward the king.
