Dungeon Maker Chapter 142

The two pushed each other away. They distanced themselves from each other as soon as they clashed, and they took the same tactics almost simultaneously. It was to increase the intensity of their mana in the surrounding area.

Yong-ho and Embrio realized it instinctively. They could read the flow of each other's mana, so they increased the concentration of mana to delay the other party reading the trajectory of the attack with the help of the flow of mana.

Embrio stepped forward. But at that moment, someone intervened in the battle between the two demon kings. With a thunderous screech, Eligos punched Embrio like lightning.

It was a perfect surprise attack.

Yong-ho and Embrio were so conscious of each other that they couldn't pay attention to others. Embrio quickly twisted his upper body, but Eligos punched Embrio's left arm immediately. Even with that attack alone, his left arm was torn out.

Eligos smiled. Embrio's left arm, which had been torn off, was fluttering in the air.

Then Eligos broke the floor with his fist.

Then Embrio stepped forward and threw a punch in Eligos's chest with his left arm.

Then he came up with the penetration strike to put all his mana into the opponent's body.

With a thunderous noise, Eligos's massive body rose slightly upward. Soon he collapsed, gushing blood. Embrio shook his upper body just like he did when he confronted Eligos.

Ophelia rushed toward Embrio and attacked Embrio's thigh hard with a turning kick. Her sharp kick cut his left leg like a beast's teeth.

But Embrio moved ahead again. Stepping on the ground with his left foot, Embrio stretched out his arms. Then he mounted a penetration strike into Ophelia's abdomen, who stopped momentarily because of embarrassment.

Bang!

Yong-ho stepped forward strongly. As if he was doing lance charging, he charged at Embrio, pointing Aamon upright.

Ophelia collapsed, throwing out blood and pieces of intestines. In terrible pain, she understood what Embrio's real power was. She kept thinking, hoping that Yong-ho would also discover it.

The Demon King of Wolves, it was just his nickname. It wasn't the name Embrio had as a true demon king.

Embrio's real power was regeneration. It was his super-speed ability to regenerate, which was fast and strong enough to recall immortality.

It wasn't because Embrio avoided Yong-ho's attack that he twisted his body after releasing that power. In fact, the purpose of his action was to minimize the shaking of his body in the aftermath of Eligos and Ophelia's attack. In other words, he immediately penetrated into the opponent's body for a counterattack right after being attacked.

He did the same this time. That was why Embrio confronted Yong-ho's attack from the front.

Yong-ho stabbed into the air, not Embrio. It caused a strong wave of the green flames and engulfed Embrio.

Ophelia's intention was passed on to Yong-ho, so he was convinced of what he saw.

Embrio's ability to regenerate was real, not tricky.

Tsupahahahaha!

Embrio jumped over the waves of the green flames. Although he was wounded by the heat of the ultrhigh temperature, he didn't care. By the time he passed through the flames, his wounds already regenerated. Thanks to the powerful magic field around his body, he had no fatal injuries.

The huge spear in Embrio's right hand stabbed into the air. His action was completely different from it when he fought Kaiwan. All his movements were optimized only for his attack. It was an extreme move that neglected his own defense.

He was faster and more powerful. Yong-ho, who managed to get out of it by kicking the ground, grabbed Aamon. Then he stretched out Aamon toward Embrio, who was advancing again to get him.

But Embrio didn't avoid the attack. Rather he didn't defend it. Aamon pierced Embrio's abdomen. Embrio groaned in pain, but he didn't collapse. Rather he took a step forward.

Yong-ho quickly released Aamon from his hand. But it was already late. Likewise, Embrio's right palm, who abandoned the huge spear, touched him. It was the so-called penetration strike.

Embrio's mighty mana began to spread with terrifying momentum.

Yong-ho bounced off randomly. It was no exaggeration to say that he was thrown out almost a dozen meters or more.

This was something abnormal that he never expected. Embrio's penetration strike was a skill to destroy the opponent by pouring mana into his body. It was far from a technique to push the enemy out.

Yong-ho rolled on the floor. Clenching his teeth, Embrio pulled out Aamon from his abdomen.

His penetration strike failed. It was true that he touched Yong-ho for the penetration strike, and released all his mana, but that was it.

Putting up with pain, Yong-ho raised himself up. His tattered left arm, covered with wounds, drooped.

The moment Embrio turned to the penetration strike, Yong-ho moved his left hand. It was impossible for Yong-ho to clearly pinpoint Embrio's target, so it was almost a miracle that he could avoid it.

Fortunately, Embrio's attack was straight and linear. Embrio touched Yong-ho's left hand. At that moment, Yong-ho activated the Ring of Distortion and blocked his penetration strike with the Shield of Distortion. The reason why Young-ho bounced back was because the penetration strike couldn't get into his body and only bounced off the Shield of Distortion.

But Yong-ho's defense was incomplete. Above all, he activated the Shield of Distortion too quickly. Although he managed to block the mana of the penetration strike, he could not block it completely. Even though he was exposed to just a little bit of Embrio's mana, his left arm was in tatters. Probably, he couldn't use his left arm during this battle.

On the other hand, Embrio was still well and strong. Although his whole body was burned by the flames of the red lotus while he was separating Aamon from his hand, Embrio wasn't wounded. As soon as he pulled Aamon out, he recovered his body in an instant, as if he was going against time.

Yong-ho stared at Embrio and thought about his power. If his regeneration ability was his real power, he would never be truly immortal.

‘Mana.'

Only now could Yong-ho realize what it was.

Embrio increased the concentration of mana that he was releasing around him, but he couldn't hide the flow of mana completely.

His mana was being consumed for regeneration. That meant that there was clearly a limit to his regeneration ability, as well.

What should Yong-ho do now? Should he keep attacking Embrio until his mana run out?

Bang!

But Embrio didn't let Yong-ho buy time. Yong-ho concentrated his consciousness.

Instead of reading his mana, Yong-ho tried to read Embrio's movements.

He felt a sharp pain in his left arm again but tried his best to put up with it.

Embrio's right hand stabbed into the air. Embrio's weapon wasn't just the penetration strike.

He had powerful mana based on the five horns, a stocky body, and superhuman patience and will to endure even the pain of his whole body being burned.

Yong-ho barely managed to avoid Embrio's right hand. However, his action was a trick to make Yong-ho avoid it. Embrio's real attack came from his left hand.

And Yong-ho also saw it. Embrio wasn't the only one who set the trap.

Yong-ho grabbed the air. Then the flames of the red lotus arose. Aamon, which Embrio had thrown on the floor, rose from Yong-ho's right hand!

Embrio couldn't respond properly to Aamon's sudden appearance. He couldn't even use the secret weapon he had prepared for this battle when he was dealt a strong blow by Yong-ho.

Aamon again pierced Embrio's abdomen. Yong-ho held his breath. Instead of screaming, he poured magic into Aamon.

The violent green flames arose roughly, burning Embrio's body from the inside.

But Yong-ho didn't stop. He saw Embrio regenerating his body and collapsing amid the green flames. Embrio was gathering mana. Even in terrible pain, he raised his arm and grabbed Aamon, which showed truly his astonishing will.

Embrio stared at Yong-ho while suffering from pain beyond imagination. Not content with grabbing Aamon, he took steps to narrow the distance with Yong-ho.

Then Yong-ho once again poured out mana. Embrio's body burned again. Thanks to the enormous power of mana, Yong-ho could notice Embrio's bare bones.

And Embrio took it as an opportunity. He delayed recovering his abdomen, so he could get out of Aamon. Even amid the pain of his hair turning white because of the intense heat, Embrio finally created a moment of counterattack.

Yong-ho saw Embrio, so did Embrio!

Bang!

At that moment, Embrio's right arm was bitten by something. It was Kaiwan's whip sword that snatched it like a viper.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Kaiwan let out a screech. Then she pulled Embrio's whole body with her left arm. Just like she did to Yong-ho on the 10th floor, she struck Embrio on the floor by swinging her whip sword violently.

She held him only for a moment. She couldn't hold him for long because her injuries were so severe that she found her left arm already losing strength.

But that was enough. Time was made.

Embrio regained freedom from Kaiwan by cutting off his right arm wrapped in the whip sword. Instead of attacking Kaiwan, who fell, exhausted and bloody, he grabbed the magic spear he created with mana. Then he ran into Yong-ho again.

Yong-ho confronted him now. Appreciating Kaiwan's help, he rushed toward Embrio.

During the time Kaiwan created, Yong-ho kept pondering over how to defeat Embrio.

Yong-ho and Embrio clashed.

Embrio aimed at Yong-ho's immovable left arm. Yong-ho also stabbed him with Aamon this time. Both attacked each other without thinking about their own defense.

They crossed each other. Embrio was a little faster in attacking. He pierced Yong-ho's left shoulder with the magic spear. But it lasted only a moment. Yong-ho didn't stop.

Enduring the pain, he stretched out his right arm. He stabbed Embrio's chest with the magic spear of the red lotus, Aamon, and created the green flames of greed.

They repeated the same attacks several times. Embrio activated the power of regeneration and at the same time focused on the magic spear. He wanted to release mana through the tip of the spear.

But he did it differently now.
