Dungeon Maker

Chapter 286: Demon God

Coincidence and inevitability met, giving birth to the present situation.

Mammon, who became united with Greed over the course of a thousand years, could no longer be called a human being. However, Yong-ho felt Mammon’s will. He was now with Yong-ho himself.

It was a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, but there was no sound of them even swallowing. It was as if the whole world stopped.

Four Sins gathered in one place.

Mammon’s Godly Energy that united the powers of different Sins.

The heart of the Demon God that guided the power of the owner’s soul to a higher place.

The King of Pride opened his mouth. But he couldn’t speak properly. Although he had the mana as powerful as that of God, he never thought of wielding it. He just got frozen with the shock that he met a much more powerful being than him.

Yong-ho looked down at the king and lifted Mammon’s Godly Energy, guided by Mammon’s whispering. He broke the huge silence by shouting at the king.

“Own it, Labyrinth of Greed!”

Lucia responded to his shouting. The Labyrinth of Greed took root in the earth. It didn’t just emit an aura, but it owned the surrounding area. It turned the entire battlefield into the Labyrinth of Greed!

The surface of the ground rose and became a wall. The protective walls did not differentiate between the southern and northern forces. They were all inhabitants of the demon world. In other words, they were the people of the Demon God.

The celestial power that crushed the entire battlefield was pushed back. The demonic beings who were groaning in pain and fear felt calm in the dungeon.

Yong-ho’s power grew even stronger.

As the demon king became stronger, the dungeon also became stronger.

The beings of the celestial world rushed to the beings of the demon world, screaming silently. But they were different from before. The demonic beings located inside the dungeon were no longer helplessly destroyed by the power of the celestial world. A fierce battle broke out in both heaven and earth.

Bifronz smiled. With his heart destroyed by the mighty attacks of Eligos and Ophelia, he could not continue living. It was impossible for him to even say a few words.

But he was satisfied. Although he made the wrong choice, and it was impossible for him to see clearly what was happening before his eyes, he knew that the demon world would become one. He also knew his longing would come true.

Instead of giving a fatal blow to Bifronz, Eligos ran toward Yong-ho. Ophelia also ran next to Eligos. Tigrius also did not look back.

Abrasax denied reality. He had seven horns. He was called the strongest mana of the Dungeon Market. But why was he so powerless now?

Samael did not answer. She withdrew the sword that pierced his back and heart. She turned around and looked at her master. She spread her fastest wings wide and soared into the sky.

Richard smashed the godly general’s head. He opened his mouth amid the scattering light. Instead of shouting, he made articulate words for the first time.

“My King, My King!”

Yustia and Yuno cried in the Labyrinth of Greed. Scathach smiled after laughing.

Gusion burst into laughter loudly.

The King of Lust sat down helplessly. He barely breathed. He then shed a stream of tears.

It wasn’t just because he accumulated regrets for more than a thousand years.

With a tearful voice, he cried, “Bellial.”

The King of Pride. The King of Lust, disguised as a woman, had been loving the king for several thousands of years.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

The King of Pride screamed. By shouting like that, the king gathered mana once more. Then he radiated the light of Pride, which was the power of his presence, and the dark energy of Envy, which was a lump of terrible emotions.

It was a thousand years. The King of Pride recreated his body in the best shape as much as he could over the past one thousand years, so he was far superior to Mammon of the past,

But why was he defeated?

“Don’t look down on me like that!” The King of Pride shouted.

His mana was really powerful, so much so that he could be called the Demon God.

But his opponent was a tough challenger. Yong-ho unleashed his remaining Fury.

He swung Aamon violently, arousing the green flames of Greed.

Yong-ho’s mana devoured the king’s mana. The green flames, which contained not only Greed but also the power of Gluttony, burned the light of Pride and the dark energy of Envy. The power of Sloth canceled out the aftermath of the collision, and the power of Fury empowered Yong-ho.

Yong-ho pierced through the green flames. He swung Aamon violently once again to strike the king strongly, but the king hurriedly lifted the Godly Energy of Pride and stopped his attack.

Their eyes met while they were wielding their swords and spears. Now, the situation was unfolding differently from before. The King of Pride could not withstand Yong-ho’s power as well as the Demon King’s power anymore. The king vomited blood.

Once again, their spears and swords clashed in the air. Yong-ho discovered how the King of Pride acquired the mana as it was now. He witnessed countless souls howling inside the king’s soul.

The King of Pride spread its six wings wide. But it was useless. Each time Yong-ho swung Aamon, his wide wings were broken one by one. Obviously, the king’s mana was so powerful as to shake heaven and earth, Yong-ho’s power was stronger.

“The King of Greed!”

The King of Pride screamed. Confronting his despair, jealousy, and anger, Yong-ho injected strength into Mammon’s Godly Energy. Then he condensed all the power of his 12 subordinate spirits as well as those in the dungeon.

[My master!]

Aamon responded. Yong-ho felt everyone in the endlessly growing power.

Demon God.

He was the only master of the demon world. He was the man who ruled the dungeon named the demon world.

Aamon broke the Godly Energy of Pride. And Aamon’s green flames burned everything that stood in the way. His final blow pierced the king’s heart!

The King of Pride saw Yong-ho. He opened his lips and said something he couldn’t even think of before. The moment he was facing his last moment, he could think of only one name that occupied his mind.

“Asmo… deus…”

It was the name of the King of Lust who had loved him alone for several thousand years.

Aamon’s green flames burned the King of Pride. Yong-ho reached out and grabbed the king’s essence—Pride and Envy, the two Sins.

The Sin of Greed was empowered at the moment and owned it all.

<hr />

Six out of the Seven Deadly Sins had gathered together.

The King of Lust no longer resisted. He put everything down and left himself to the natural attraction.

The Seven Deadly Sins were originally one. So, the Sin of Lust wanted to be united with other Sins. The Sin of Lust now belonged to the King of Greed.

The King of Lust, disguised as a woman, fell on the floor and cried. He was the only one in the world who would cry for the King of Pride.

<hr />

The celestial beings attacking the southern and northern forces stopped attacking and headed for the sky. They did so to preserve their power, but they were instinctively scared of the incredible power of the Demon God.

Not only the celestial men but also the godly generals headed to the sky, and new celestial holes began to open high in the sky.

<hr />

Yong-ho stood at the highest place in the Labyrinth of Greed.

Although he defeated the King of Pride, he had to conquer the celestial door. Today’s fight was not over yet.

The red sky was turning blue, which was evidence that the celestial door was opening.

The vortex of mana created by the clash between Yong-ho and the King of Pride prompted the celestial door to open.

Yong-ho recognized it through Mammon’s memory.

It was a coincidence that Mammon left his offspring in the human world. Maybe even that was guided by his fate, but he didn’t think so.

Mammon visited the human world again shortly before the final battle with the celestial world. He did so to prepare for the possible collapse of the demon world just in case he could not block the attack of the celestial world.

Mammon looked for his descendants in the human world and gave them the heart of the Demon God. If one day a qualified person was born, he would own the heart of the Demon God.

More than a thousand years have passed.

Finally, a new King of Greed appeared, and he obtained the heart of the Demon God and Mammon’s Godly Energy. By collecting all the Seven Deadly Sins, he rose to the level of the true Demon God. And now, the celestial door was opened in front of him.

The celestial world was the worst alien world to the demon world. The existence itself was the opposite of the demon world, so it constantly longed for the demon world.

Even Mammon did not know clearly about the celestial world. However, when he looked into the celestial world through its door, he was convinced that he should not be merely content with shutting down the door itself. This time, he had to cut off the connection between the celestial world and the demon world by using his power as the Demon King.

The 12 subordinate spirits of the past and present gathered by Yong-ho’s side.

Although the celestial door was opening in the sky, none of them expressed fear.

Salami landed next to Yong-ho. He flinched a bit at the overwhelming presence of Yong-ho, who became the Demon God, but soon, he wagged his tail as always.

Yong-ho looked at the sky. He saw the stairs he had seen in his memory many times. It was another evidence that the celestial power was getting stronger again.

“Skullkull,” Skull said.

Yong-ho turned at his calling and smiled before he knew it.

Above the entrance to the first floor of the Labyrinth of Greed, Yuria, Baduk, and the dungeon meerkat stood, gasping for breath. Behind him were standing not only Rikum and Burgrim but also the Goblin Rangers. Also, behind them was Trient, who was waddling up the stairs.

Yuria did not know what kind of fighting took place today. She didn’t know who Yong-ho was going to fight from now on. But she guessed that his fighting was different this time.

The place Yong-ho was going to head for now was a really dangerous place. Maybe he would never come back.

Yuria held back the urge to burst into crying before she knew it. She looked up at him then laughed reluctantly while fiddling with the chicken voucher in her hand.

She bowed to him and said, “Bye.”

Baduk and the meerkat also bowed. Rikum and Burgrim also bowed to him while the Goblin Rangers and Trient, who arrived late, did the same.

Lucia was seated next to Yuria. She, the soul of the dungeon as well as Yong-ho’s alter ego, nodded to him instead of speaking long.

Watching them, Yong-ho laughed. He stroked Lucia’s hair and sat down before Yuria at her eye level. He said, holding her hand tightly, “I will be back. Let’s eat chicken together when I come back.”

Yuria nodded. Eventually, she shed tears. He wiped her tears off and stood up again.

Lucia smiled like a grown-up.

[Bye.]

[My Master, King of the Demon World!]

Yong-ho turned. He looked up at the stairs leading to the celestial door. Then, this time, 12 subordinate spirits spoke one by one.

“I, Enderion’s daughter, Ophelia, will be with you, master of the great Mamon family.”

“I, the butler, am the last bastion of the dungeon. But this time, I will be the bastion of my master.”

Ophelia and Eligos stood by Yongho’s side.

Gusion and Scathach said one after another.

“I will never let you go alone this time.”

“I told you to fight with your subordinate spirits, right?”

At that moment, the godly men and godly generals were coming out in droves from the hole of the celestial world. As they were standing in the place closest to the sky, they could feel the threat directly.

However, the 12 subordinate spirits did not stop. Samael and Tigrius quietly stood by Yong-ho, and Richard stood behind Gusion.

“I will protect you by sacrificing my life.”

Catalina flapped her ears and tail. She was always an escort knight guarding him at hand.

“Because I am his official wife, let me forgive you for using me as the shield against the attack.”

Then Kaiwan hugged Yong-ho’s arm.

“Because you are my master as well as the King of the eight clans, I’ll be with you. Besides, I have to hold a wedding ceremony with you after the fight.”

Dritarashutra, the Queen of Fury, blushed and spoke a little timidly.

Skull laughed and stood at the forefront.

Yong-ho finally looked at one person next to him.

“My beloved customer. I trust you.”

Sitri smiled at him and felt Greed that existed within his body. He also smiled at her. Without any further delay, he stepped forward.

The stairs leading to the celestial world.

It was the path where Mammon, the King of Greed, climbed alone and saved the demon world.

From heaven and earth, everyone in the demon world looked up at him. The celestial beings looked down from the sky that turned blue.

[My master.]

[I will stay with you until the end.]

Aamon, the magic spear of the red lotus. He had always been Yong-ho’s strong support.

Yong-ho opened up the power of the Demon God. Heaven and earth shook with his overwhelming mana, which evaporated the celestial energy that was filling the sky.

Yong-ho climbed the first staircase by jumping through space.

Then he ordered his subordinate spirits, “Let’s move!”

That was the word that Mammon could not say back then.

Following the King of Greed, they climbed the stairs to the celestial world.
