Chapter 282: Mammon (6)
Bifronz, who was in charge of the entire northern army, instinctively realized what happened. That was why he clenched his teeth. He knew why his enemy didn't use this power in the last battle. At the same time, his old friend whispered into Bifronz's ear. The northern forces were being killed at a terrifying rate. If the current massacre were not stopped, the entire northern forces could be "annihilated" in a matter of time.
Bifronz clenched his teeth. It was only then that he realized who he had betrayed.
Sitri, before she was the Queen of Sloth, she was one of the five directors of the Dungeon Market. She was the very woman who created the Dungeon Market in the demon world!
Abrasax shouted in anger. He desperately struggled to get out of the current impasse, but the northern forces who got frozen on the spot would not move. Even if there was someone who flew over their heads, none of them signaled danger or tried to attack. Even if Sitri had not activated the master key, the northern forces would not have captured her.
It was none other than Samael, the fastest wing of the Dungeon Market, who crossed the space. She flew at a speed that was even difficult for one's eyes to catch and rushed to Abrasax. With the master key, Sitri naturally found out the exact location of Abrasax, who wielded the power of the Dungeon Market.
Abrasax also saw Samael. Erecting seven horns on his head, he unleashed the strongest mana of the Dungeon Market.
But Samael was not scared. She brought out the power of her master, Yong-ho, as well as the power of Greed, Gluttony and Fury through Brigada. She destroyed Abrasax's mana by wielding much stronger power than she had as a director of the Dungeon Market. Right at this moment, she wanted to take revenge on him on behalf of his subordinate spirits including Karot.
Bifronz laughed bitterly. Yong-ho's 12 subordinate spirits appeared before him. The two Red Demons who had been fired like bullets from the giant red dragon Tiamet rushed to Bifronz like a beast as soon as they landed on the ground. They were Eligos and Ophelia, the two beasts under the command of the King of Greed. Moreover, Tigrius stood behind them.
Faced with the three subordinate spirits with six horns, Bifronz raised his cane instead of giving up. Since he knew instinctively his final moment was imminent, he enjoyed this moment.
He unleashed mana violently.
Sometimes, people felt the passage of time differently, depending on their feelings.
Only a few seconds in the eyes of others seemed like such a long time to Sitri.
Sitri's master key was by no means an absolute power. There were only twenty seconds left for Sitri to halt the entire northern army. The highly advanced the subordinate spirits and the strongly they were under the influence of the King of Pride or the King of Lust, the faster they would be freed from the influence of the master key.
It was impossible to annihilate over 200,000 northern troops within 20 seconds. Because of that, Sitri didn't depend on the master key alone.
The King of Pride, who had an overwhelming army, did not appear himself directly in the last battle. Even now, he didn't reveal himself openly when he had more troops.
His action was taken for granted. The King of Pride considered everything other than himself as a tool. He would be satisfied with the outcome if he could wear out the King of Greed and the Queen of Fury in return for sacrificing tens of thousands of northern troops.
So, Sitri had to exactly find out the location of the King of Pride. By finding him, she had to change the nature of this battle from one between the two large forces to one between the kings.
Sitri knew that the freezing of the northern forces would last only 20 seconds. But do Bifronz and Abrasax know that? Can the King of Pride and the King of Lust detect it?
Faced with an unimaginable situation at the moment, the King of Pride had to act. He had to expose himself in order to overcome this difficult situation.
Sitri gulped in a tense moment. She stared at the battlefield, feeling one second was like eternity. And she recognized something at some point. Her heart was pounding.
Now the king's mana exploded. Everything screamed at the explosive outburst of mana. The explosion was seen beyond the northern army. Right there, the King of Pride unleashed his power. Erecting as many as eight horns, he radiated the Sins of Pride and Envy. The black giant, the power of the Sin of Envy, was formed over the head of the northern army in the center.
The King of Lust could no longer hide his position, either. The king revealed his position by erecting the Godly Energy of Lust. He was in the left-wing of the northern forces.
This was the right moment. Those who had been waiting for this moment for a massive attack began to move at once.
Dragon Lord Ancablosa and twenty-two ancient dragons opened their mouths immediately. Instead of aiming at the monsters who had stopped on the ground, they let out Dragon Breath toward the ground. Twenty-three rays of light became a huge one and crossed the northern forces. Regardless of those northern forces who could move or not, Ancablosa's army killed them all.
Ancablosa was still far from the King of Pride. Besides, the Dragon Breath swept through the northern army who were located between them, so when she reached the King of Pride, her power was greatly weakened. The black giant of Envy wielded the light of Pride to smash the Dragon Breath at once.
But Ancablosa was satisfied with that because her primary purpose was to open the way for the smooth marching of the southern forces.
Roaring loudly, Salami spread his wings of flame. Yong-ho, Catalina, and Gusion that were on his back gripped Salami's back handle.
Then, Salami got close to the Dragon Breath in full swing at the moment. Sparks from the breath lit the atmosphere. Salami stopped running when the black giant of Envy smashed the Dragon Breath. With the black giant of Envy only dozens of meters away, Salami soared vertically at Yong-ho's order.
Now there was really little time left before the freezing of the northern forces stopped. The black giant of Envy saw Salami surging into the sky. The King of Lust also turned his eyes at Salami's strange movement. But the king had no choice but to look ahead immediately.
"The King of Lust!"
The Queen of Fury, who traversed the northern armies, shouted at the king in anger.
The King of Lust, who had the power of temptation, could not fight his ally. So, the best option would be for him to attack her in the middle of the southern forces.
The main role of the Queen of Fury was blocking the King of Lust.
She was the only one among the southern forces who could fully overcome the King of Lust's power of temptation.
Kaiwan wielded her whip sword to get rid of those northern forces around the Queen of Fury. Kaiwan's role this time was to assist the queen. Kaiwan kept the proper distance from the two kings and again swung her whip sword. Instead of looking straight at the King of Lust, Kaiwan looked at the sky where Yong-ho took off a moment ago.
The leadership of the southern forces initially had no intention of making this fight a battle between the two large armies, for there were too many northern forces for them to confront successfully.
But they knew they could win this battle by defeating only the King of Pride who commanded the northern army. What was important was not the annihilation of the northern army, but the destruction of the King of Pride.
It was difficult for the Queen of Fury to confront the King of Lust alone.
It was also hard for Yong-ho to fight the King of Pride alone. The king's mana was more powerful than Yong-ho's.
So, Yong-ho had to devise a way to make up for his lacing mana, and support the numerically inferior southern forces.
When Salami soared high enough, Yong-ho raised Mammon's Godley Energy, the magic field. Then he issued an order, emitting twelve lights that symbolized his subordinate spirits.
"Come to me! Labyrinth of Greed!"
He was referring to something he found in a secret room on the 13th floor, the deepest place of the Labyrinth of Greed.
He could do it because he became the true master of the Labyrinth of Greed.
Magnadon, who beat the earth, said clearly that he had moved the Labyrinth of Greed and that he hid it right under the ground floor of the House of Mammon.
If so, what about the opposite? Would it be possible to move the Labyrinth of Greed back to its place again!
Lucia responded. The unimaginable grand magic, which was completed over the course of a thousand years, a great miracle, had come true. A huge dungeon jumped between space and time!
It was a huge dungeon with thirteen floors. It was hundreds of meters high, and its width was also beyond imagination. A huge weird lump of strange rocks was summoned in the middle of the northern forces, which smashed those around the stormy swirling rocks.
"The Labyrinth of Greed!"
The King of Pride screamed loudly, to which the King of Lust had no choice but to turn his eyes. The Queen of Fury was charging at him right before his eyes, but he could not suppress his impulse.
The dungeon of Mammon, the King of Greed.
It was the very dungeon he believed had been completely destroyed one thousand and several hundred years ago by the three Kings of Pride, Envy, and Lust!
Salami shrieked loudly over the Labyrinth of Greed. Yong-ho felt the same sense of security like when he was located deep in the Labyrinth of Greed.
He once again ordered Lucia.
"Labyrinth of Greed! Assist your Master!"
Only
When the master became strong, the dungeon also became strong.
When the dungeon became strong, its master became strong as well.
The power of the dungeon was the power of its master. Therefore, the master could bring up his strongest power when he was in the dungeon.
An aura of great power arose from the Labyrinth of Greed. Yong-ho empowered the entire southern army as well as the Mammon family spirits within that aura. It was as if the entire battlefield became the Labyrinth of Greed.
The dungeon breathed with the dungeon spirits. They delivered the strongest power to the master of the dungeon.
Yong-ho jumped off the back of Salami. He spread his black magical wings widely, Catalina's power, then encircled his body with the power he received from the Labyrinth of Greed. Grasping Aamon, who became united with the Godly Energy of Greed, Yong-ho stared at the black giant of Envy standing in front of him, and the King of Pride inside it.
"The King of Greed!"
