Dungeon Maker Chapter 208

When Mammon died, the power of the 12 Spirits belonging to him was also weakened.

Yong-ho realized Mammon's power once again. Given that Aamon's power was still powerful, he must have been much more powerful during his prime days. What about Mammon who had Aamon as his subordinate spirit?

It was beyond imagination.

Yong-ho felt like he was seeing another sky beyond the sky. But he didn't feel unpleasant at all. Rather, he felt he had a glimpse of a goal that he had to achieve.

“Okay, then let's get down to business. The first agenda or question is this one. What happened to the undead army that the King of Gluttony brought with him?”

Actually, he asked Kaiwan, Catalina, and Scathach about this, but they didn't reply, saying they would like to talk about it at the meeting. Of course, Catalina was going to reply anyway, but Kaiwan stopped her.

Ophelia said, “They disappeared right after you disappeared with the King of Gluttony. According to Scathach, it seemed that they were summoned back.”

“Summoned back?”

Tigrius, who is in charge of the magic of the Mammon family, explained, “Yes. Some high-ranking summoners often keep ‘special summoners' in a separate subspace. In other words, they are used only when necessary. Likewise, they are summoned back right away when they are not needed.”

“I think the King of Gluttony seems to have stormed into the dungeon to fight you in a duel. As a result, the moment he got inside the dungeon and faced you alone, he seemed to summon back the undead army to reduce the useless consumption of his mana.”

“As a matter of fact, there remained the miscellaneous undead troops summoned by the vampire lords. Of course, the Skull unit destroyed them all later,” said Ophelia, as if to make up for Tirgrius's explanation.

Finally, when Yong-ho looked at Skull, he laughed as always and shouted, “Skull Skull.”

Obviously, he was very proud of his unit's achievement.

With the atmosphere getting warmer, Aamon said, [Our master has obtained Gluttony now, along with the King of Gluttony's essence.]

[Greed is the power of possession… Even if it's impossible right now, if our master can better handle Gluttony, it's highly likely that he can access the “subspace” created by the King of Gluttony.]

[Because all the things the king possessed now fell in the hands of Greed.]

“I see.”

Yong-ho nodded quietly. It was not because he agreed with Aamon, but because he felt he could do it. Perhaps it was because of his memories of the King of Gluttony that were in the realm of his unconsciousness.

Over ten death knights and five vampire lords. That wasn't all.

The memory of the King of Gluttony told Yong-ho that bone dragons were also located in the subspace.

They were the elite troops kept by the King of Gluttony in preparation for his fight against the six other kings.

Already, they alone could be called an army corps. As a result of Yong-ho's victory, they now belonged to the House of Mammon. Although Yong-ho could not use them right now, he could use them as a secret weapon that nobody expected at all.

All the dungeon spirits didn't hide their joy when they heard Aamon's explanation.

Yong-ho wondered how they would react when he told them that bone dragons were also preserved in the subspace.

‘Let me hold onto their pleasure until later.'

He still had lots of other agenda to discuss with them. So, he could tell them about the bone dragons after he could take control of the subspace of the King of Gluttony.

He signaled to Catalina with a glance, and she put the red gauntlet on the table, which she carefully carried.

At a glance, the magical machine looked very unusual.

Yong-ho said, “This is one of the fragments of the Demon God's flesh, but at the same time was the ‘Godly Energy of Fury' possessed by the King of Gluttony.”

Everyone in the conference room looked at it tensely. Watching it before their eyes, they realized once again that Yong-ho really defeated the king.

Ophelia, who was checking his mood for a moment, asked, looking at the flames of the red lotus, “I'm sorry to ask you, but why did the King of Gluttony possess the ‘Godly Energy of Fury'?”

Other subordinate spirits turned to Aamon as if they were curious about that.

When Yong-ho turned his eyes, full of curiosity, the flames of the red lotus flared up more intensely.

Aamon whispered to everyone, [In the past, Mammon, the great King of Greed, acquired three Sins and four Godly Energies.]

[The three Sins were Greed, Fury, and Gluttony, respectively.]

[The four Godly Energies were greed, Fury, Gluttony, and Lust, respectively.]

They were also aware of this.

Aamon continued, [After Mammon died, all three Sins and four Godly Energies were dispersed everywhere.]

[The Godly Energy of Lust was in the hands of the King of Lust. However, Greed, Fury, and Gluttony wandered around in the demon world without finding their true owner.]

The three Godly Energies changed hands several times over a thousand years.

At the time, all of them were possessed by different kings, but they didn't find their proper owner.

[Probably, that's why the King of Gluttony had the Godly Energy of Fury. That's perhaps the case with the King of Violence. Perhaps, the King of Pride and the King of Envy might have different Godly Energies that didn't match their own Sins.]

“Is the match of Sin with Godly Energy important?”

When Yong-ho asked it, the flames of the red lotus arose again.

Aamon said firmly, [Yes, it's important.]

[It's only when it faces the Sin that matches with it when Godly Energies shows its real power.]

Yong-ho looked at the Godly Energy again. Come to think of it, the Godly Energy possessed by the King of Gluttony did not play any efficient role. Of course, his attack by leaping through space was powerful, but it wasn't that effective, given the enormous potential of Godly Energy that totaled only seven in the demon world.

According to Aamon's explanation, the Godly Energy of Fury could only display its true power when it was in the hands of the King of Fury.

So, Yong-ho thought about it the other way. As long as he possessed the Godly Energy of Fury, the King of Fury would not be able to use her power perfectly.

As a matter of fact, Yong-ho was building a fairly positive relationship with the King of Fury. But it didn't mean that she was his perfect ally. It was regrettable that he could not get the ‘real Godly Energy of Greed' by fighting the King of Gluttony, but he was lucky enough to have obtained the Godly Energy of Fury.

After sorting out his complicated thoughts by nodding, he brought to himself the attention of his subordinate spirits at the meeting. Then he brought out the next topic.

“I think I had better hide the fact that I defeated the King of Gluttony. What do you think?”

“I agree. For all the world, the King of Gluttony mounted a surprise attack against us. So, I think the king's allies might regard the current situation as “the king's sudden disappearance,” said Ophelia.

This time, Tigrius opined, “There is a high possibility that the king's allies will hide his death, for it is clear that the King of Fury or the King of Violence will move once it's known that the king has disappeared. Unless the king's allies show any suspicious movement, I don't think we have to go to the trouble of drawing other kings' attention by revealing that we defeated the King of Gluttony.”

“I agree. Substance is more important than what's on the surface. It's more likely that they will suspect the King of Violence, not our master,” Kaiwan said provocatively.

When Yong-ho looked at him, Rikum, who was listening silently, replied with a tense expression, “I agree.”

In fact, everybody at the meeting was on the same page on this issue.

So, Yong-ho switched the topic again.

“As all of you agree on that, let me talk about the King of Fury. Everyone, watch this video. Catalina?”

When he called her, she quickly drew out a letter and opened it. A video of the King of Fury appeared on the table in the conference room, and Yuria, who was watching from her seat in the corner, looked at the king, with her eyes glistening at her fresh and beautiful appearance.

When the video ended, Yong-ho spoke again, “As you can see, the King of Fury is asking to meet me in person. I'm thinking of meeting her. Of course, I'm going to hide the fact that I defeated the King of Gluttony, as well as the fact that I am the King of Greed.”

Tigrius and Eligos were satisfied with his statement.

“That's a wise judgment.”

“I think the King of Fury's goodwill to you is based on the fact that the House of Mammon is not ‘a royal family.' So, I think it's the best option for you to make the most of her ignorance. I don't think it's not a big problem morally because you have not deceived her anyway,” Ophelia added mischievously. What she wanted to say was Yong-ho had never lied to her deliberately.

[I recommend that when you meet the King of Fury, you don't carry the Godly Energy of Fury.]

“Absolutely, because there might be synchronization between them.”

Yong-ho, who accepted Aamon's advice, asked Ophelia again, “Was her name Gardimundi? How is the messenger of the King of Fury doing now?”
