Dungeon Maker Chapter 228

Kaiwan, who focused only on the power of distortion instead of blaming Yong-ho as if she gave up, sensed that something had changed. The mana swirling in front of her eyes was different from what she used to know.

“Yong-ho… What the heck?!”

Even before she called him, Yong-ho pulled Kaiwan, who he put up as a shield, into his arms suddenly. He looked straight at her with more intense concentration than before. Kaiwan, who was held in his arms all of a sudden, immediately shut up after trying to say something. Instead, she buried her head on his chest and focused her consciousness on the Brigada ring. She passed mana to him.

The vortex of Seven Attributes's mana.

Yong-ho already experienced it. He recalled the trial he had to face in order to unlock the 8th-floor treasure storage.

It was foolish to confront this kind of force with the same force. Rather, he had to adapt to it. It was important for him to naturally go with the flow of mana.

The silver light of harmony, symbolizing Yuho Yuan, arose from the Godly Energy, namely the magic field attached on his left arm. He changed the attributes of the sequentially released mana. By substituting the attributes of Yong-ho himself and his subordinate spirits into the vortex of mana one by one, he harmonized with it instead of colliding with it.

Magnadon opened his mouth wide. Although he originally made the vortex of the Seven Attributes in mind, he never thought there would be anybody who could really overcome it.

The vortex of the mana began to crumble little by little. Each of the Seven Attributes disappeared one by one, and when it happened, the speed of the vortex also slowed down.

At last, the vortex disappeared. The mana of the last flames faded from the air, just like the green flames of Yong-ho.

The sky after the storm was supposed to be calm.

There was a zone of mana created in the trap room.

Yong-ho opened his eyes. Cold sweat broke out on his back, but he smiled.

Kaiwan, who opened her eyes slightly and looked up at Yong-ho, hugged him tightly. Although she was upset that he roughly swung her as a shield, she forgot it now and thought he was cool. Her heart was pounding.

Yong-ho's subordinate spirits at the entrance opened their eyes one by one and breathed a sigh of relief. Catalina flapped her tail pleasantly.

Now, Yong-ho passed all the tests. Once he went through the room with no mana, Magnadon's test would be over.

When everyone thought so, Magnadon laughed slyly once again. Originally, the trap was supposed to catch him off guard. So, Yong-ho needed to realize that it was the most dangerous moment when he felt relaxed.

The last trap was simple. It was a lump of pure and powerful mana. It was also the last mana that Magnadon himself left behind while dying.

Yong-ho took a step. He passed through the zone with no mana. He needed to take only a couple of steps to the final destination.

At that moment, mana poured from the ceiling to the floor. Kaiwan, held in his arms, hurriedly raised her head, but it was too late. She had no time to activate the power of distortion.

Various voices could be heard from everywhere. Each of Yong-ho's subordinate spirits at the entrance was screaming.

Magnadon saw it. He blinked and soon laughed out loud. The Godly Energy of Fury mounted on Yong-ho's right hand opened its mouth wide like a beast. A lump of Brigada, it accepted the Sin of gluttony. It literally swallowed up the pouring mana.

It was possible because what poured out of the ceiling was a mass of pure, not processed, mana.

For the past one week before he challenged the 9th floor, Yong-ho spent the whole time in the arena. He wanted to learn how to use the Godly Energy of Fury and the Sin of Gluttony that he obtained recently.

The King of Gluttony used the Godly Energy of Fury to devour everything. Of course, the original purpose of the Godly Energy of fury was far from it, but it was a pure and huge mass of Brigada. It was more than enough as a medium to release the power of the Sin of Gluttony that the king had.

If the attribute of Greed was possession, that of Gluttony was devouring.

So, the Sin of Gluttony devoured Magnadon's lump of mana. Greed then possessed it.

After overcoming the last trap, Yong-ho didn't hesitate to move on and threw himself into the safe zone.

“Arrived!”

Standing on a large platform, he turned around and looked at the entrance. Catalina flapped her ears and tail while Ophelia and Eligos clapped. Tigrius also did not hide his admiration.

Magnadon put his hand down while stroking his beard. As if he put down a heavy baggage, he let his shoulders droop and said warmly, “Young Master, you have passed all my tests. I would like to recognize you as the true successor of the House of Mammon.”

Magnadon didn't just pay lip service. Yong-ho felt a new force was added to the magic field on his left arm. He naturally raised his left arm and saw a new light.

It was golden like the glory of the morning.

‘Passion,' the power of Magnadon, was reflected in the Godly Energy of Mammon.

Unlike Elune, Magnadon did not disappear immediately after transferring power to Yong-ho.

He still had one more mission left.

“As Aamon has already told you, you have to create a new network of your own. But you don't have to abandon the old network built by Mammon at all. It would be best for you to build a new network based on the old one. The network created by Mammon is truly vast.”

Magnadon, who poured out his words eloquently, fidgeted with his hand, standing on the platform at the end of the trap room. Then, the entire trap room vibrated, revealing the true image of the 9th floor.

The doors of the space rose from the 9th floor. It was not one but nine in total.

In addition, a waist-high cylinder rose above the platform. Magnadon triggered the “controller” by moving his hand again on the cylinder.

A light map of the demon world emerged above the cylinder. Magnadon moved his fingers again, and blue magical light appeared everywhere above the map.

Yong-ho knew it without his explanation. They must be the network of the doors of space that was left intact even now.

“The light also shines in the north… There are also light in the territory of the King of Gluttony!”

Ophelia shouted before she knew it. Though there were not many, there was some blue light outside the southern unclaimed land. Although there was only one light, it was there not only in the territory of the King of Gluttony, but also that of the Queen of Fury, that of the King of Envy, and even that of the King of Pride in the far north.

Mammon did not build a network only in his dungeons. He hid the doors of space throughout the demon world.

Catalina, looking at the light map with her eyes open wide, reached out and pointed to the blue light in the territory of the Queen of Fury.

“Don't you think it's moving?”

Indeed, it did, like she said. The blue light she pointed at with her fingertips was moving really slow.

Instead of explaining, Magnadon operated the controller to enlarge the blue light that she was pointing at. Then, a window of light with tips about the location of the blue light appeared in the air.

“Vimana. Oh my… That turtle is still alive?”

Magnadon burst into laughter lightly. As if he was glad to know that the turtle, which he saw during his time a thousand years ago, was still alive, his voice was filled with a pleasant surprise.

But Ophelia and Tigrius's expressions changed instantly. She approached Magnadon and asked urgently, “Magnadon, did you say it was Vimana? Turtle demon Vimana?”

“Yes, it's even famous these days, right?” Magnadon said as if to humor a child.

Ophelia raised her hand and covered her mouth. There was still a big surprise in both of her eyes.

“Ophelia?”

Yong-ho called her in a low voice, as he could not figure out what she was talking about.

Only then did she come to her senses and said calmly, “Vimana is the dungeon of the Queen of Fury. It's a dungeon placed on top of a giant turtle monster. It is a kind of movable fortress.”

Yong-ho recalled the ancient universe view he had seen one day. It was a picture of an elephant on a turtle then a land on it again.

However, that picture disappeared from his mind instantly because he understood what she meant.

“Wait a moment. If so, is any door of space in our network connected with Vimana?”

“Exactly. If you want it, you can always go to Vimana through the door of space. If my memory serves me right, her dungeon is inside Vimana's shell,” said Magnadon, who grasped the situation while talking with them so far, with a laugh.

The door of space connected to the dungeon of the Queen of Fury, not anyone else.

Given that the network was still intact, it was clear that the Queen of Fury did not know the existence of the door of space Mammon had built.

The Queen of Fury was a strong ally who formed an alliance with the Mammon family.

However, he didn't need to let her know the door of space. The door of space located in the shell of Vimana would certainly play an important role someday.

“It seems important that this network is still intact not only in the territory of the King of Pride but also in the King of Gluttony's territory. If you use it well, you will be able to target only the core of the King of Gluttony's territory.”

Tigrius reminded everyone of the core point. As he said, what was important to the Mammon family right now was not the network connected with the Queen of Fury, but one connected with the King of Gluttony.

The King of Gluttony was no longer alive. His right-hand men, the Ten Warriors, were also gone. Except for the Mammon family, there were no outsiders who knew this.

Yong-ho already learned the war of the demon world while fighting in the unclaimed land. It wasn't necessarily the best way to conquer the territory and own it.

What mattered was to lap up the cream.

Yong-ho and his subordinate spirits looked at the map of the demon world.

As if they promised to do so, their eyes turned to one place.
