Dungeon Maker - Chapter 262 - The King of Greed (2)
The purpose of this artificial Godly Energy, which Mammon had designed but never completed, was never a substitute for the Godly Energy of Greed.
It had a different purpose.
Yong-ho didn’t know what the purpose was, but it was now clear.
He sorted out his complicated thoughts. His heart, which was beating so violently as if it would burst at any moment, returned to normal. The true Godly Energy of Greed that was held in his right hand turned into a bracelet and was placed on his wrist as if to imitate Aamon. It was just next to Aamon.
[The Godly Energy of Greed.]
[She is finally back.]
Aamon spoke in a wistful voice. Yong-ho could feel the Godly Energy of Greed responding to Aamon’s voice.

At that moment, he remembered something that also had remained in both Aamon and the Godly Energy of Greed.
Mammon, the King of Greed, didn’t deal with Aamon alone, the magic spear of the red lotus. What he dealt with was Aamon that became one with the Godly Energy of Greed.
When Mammon was climbing the stairs of the celestial world alone, he separated Aamon from the Godly Energy of Greed. After leaving Aamon behind, he headed for the celestial door with the Godly Energy of Greed.
Finally, Aamon and the Godly Energy of Greed became one again. Aamon regained its true power as the magic spear of the red lotus that could burn heaven and earth and evaporate the sea by wielding it only once.
“Are you the King of Greed?”
The Queen of Fury called Yong-ho. He hesitated for a moment as to what to say, but he made up his mind to tell her.
He spoke confidently to his ally, “The Godly Energy of Greed has come back.”
Now, Yong-ho had not only the two Sins of Greed and Gluttony but also two Godly Energies pairing with them. Even though she was his ally, he was now a formidable partner for her.
But the Queen of Fury was not afraid or jealous of him. Rather, she was really pleased.
Kaiwan and Catalina murmured, “Yeah, she is behaving as expected.”
Yong-ho quickly spoke to the queen, “I will be back soon. Please take care of your own people and wait here.”
She didn’t expect it, but she nodded cheerfully.
“Okay, I will wait.”
He turned right away. He had to hurry back to the Labyrinth of Greed. He needed to meet Sitri and talk a lot with her, but he couldn’t because he still had a lot of work to do.
[Master! Giant flying vehicles are approaching this way!]
Lucia shouted through Tiamet’s terminal. The surviving representatives of the eight clans, whose invisible air barrier system was broken by some directors’ ambush of the Dungeon Market, belatedly discovered them approaching their way.
Catalina identified the flying creatures first this time again. They were so enormous that she could discern them from a far greater distance than when she noticed the Godly Energy of Greed.
They were blue.
It had big wings, a big tail, and gorgeous scales.
“A dragon?”
It was Yong-ho’s first-time seeing a dragon. Shortly after Catalina shouted, others could also confirm the dragon’s appearance. Moreover, it was not just one. Behind the giant blue dragon’s back was a red dragon and another was a black dragon.
Extremely wary of dragons, Kirtimuka urgently triggered an urgent alert. Then the Queen of Fury’s bodyguards were on a combat mode immediately, and the spirits of the Mammon family that were on tense alert took their own weapons.
But Yong-ho didn’t show any concern. The Queen of Fury knew who was flying toward her.
“Ancablosa!”
As if responding to the queen’s call, the huge blue dragon landed on the ground.
The overwhelming presence of her giant body, which was dozens of meters long, dwarfed Bone Dragon.
Landing in front of Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury, she took the shape of a human by casting the spell of transformation, one of the dragon’s strong merits. She now turned into an Afsaras with impressive dark hair.
An Afsaras was characterized by her slimness, but given the attribute of Ancablosa, she was more tough than slim. She showed due manners to Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury, accompanied by two other dragons who turned into an Orc and a Dark Elf respectively by triggering their own magic.
“Commander of the Dragon Legion, the farthest watcher, Ancablosa, is honored to meet the King of Greed and the Queen of Fury.”
She looked at them alternately and soon realized that they were the ones that the King of Violence referred to in his final message to her.
Ancablosa was a woman by any standards. As soon as she exchanged greetings with them, she immediately got down to the point without giving them any background explanation.
“His Majesty the King of Violence referred to the King of Greed in his last will. Can both of you lend me your hands for a moment? I would like to convey his last will to you.”
Although she was using honorific language to them, it seemed she was talking informally perhaps because of her lofty and stately atmosphere unique to Ancablosa.
Yong-ho didn’t hesitate to take the hand that she stretched out. The Queen of Fury was about to reach out to Yong-ho too but withdrew it behind her back, noticing she didn’t have to. It seemed she was mistaken that their hands including his would form a triangle shape.
It was an interesting situation at the moment, but Ancablosa was so serious that both Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury just focused on holding their hands.
Ancablosa immediately conveyed the late King of Violence’s will to them. The voice of the King of Violence was echoing in the heads of Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury.
‘Mobilize the dragon army! Find the King of Greed and help him! Stop the worst Demon God with him!’
What the King of Violence meant by the ‘worst Demon God’ was the King of Pride. Yong-ho could figure out why the King of Violence didn’t refer to the King of Pride merely as a king but the Demon God. The King of Pride had strength, terrifying mana, and Godly posture.
After conveying his message, Ancablosa first let go of her hand. She explained what she knew because as the same dragon as the King of Violence, she had the direct chance to listen to the king’s last will.
“The King of Violence made a suicidal attack on the King of Pride as soon as he conveyed his last will to me. I think he had two reasons for that. First, he wanted to damage both the King of Pride and the Dungeon Market. Secondly, he didn’t want to have his essence taken away by the King of Pride.”
The King of Violence was recognized as the strongest dragon in the demon world. As such, it would bring about the worst situation if the King of Pride took his essence.
Ancablosa continued, “We don’t know the condition of the King of Pride, but he must have been dealt a fatal blow.”
In fact, when the King of Violence made a suicidal attack, not only his hideout, Rare, but also its surrounding area disappeared without even leaving any trace. Given such a strong explosion and its impact, it was highly unlikely that the King of Pride avoided his fatal attack.
Ancablosa said, “Currently, the generals of the dragon are gathering their troops scattered across the territory of the King of Violence in one place, and at the same time, they are destroying the facilities of the dungeons still left intact within the King of Violence’s territory. I came here to meet you, the King of Greed, ahead of my main troops.”
Ancablosa paused for a moment and gazed at Yong-ho for long. Her gaze was as sharp as a blade.
“If you have anything to order me, please tell me. I and my dragon army will obey your command.”
She made a simple declaration, but at first glance, it felt like a test to him.
So, he responded naturally after making eye contact with her.
“Help the Queen of Fury destroy the distribution channels of the Dungeon Market and its branches in her territory. Besides, I want you to protect the territory of the Queen of Fury.”
In fact, he discussed the matter of destroying the various facilities of the Dungeon Market within her territory. Since his order was rational and reasonable, Ancablosa accepted his request readily.
“Sure, I will. Let me get down to the business right away.”
The Orc behind her turned into a red dragon again and flew away. It seemed that the Orc wanted to convey Yong-ho’s order to the Dragon Legion.
Yong-ho looked at the Queen of Fury again and said, “Dritarastra, I would like to repeat it, if I may.”
The current situation was obviously not good. However, it didn’t mean the situation was necessarily bad for Yong-ho because he could combine all the troops under his integrated command. “I’m going to meet the Queen of Sloth. See you back soon.”
Sitri, the Queen of Sloth.
Yong-ho did not hide the fact that she was with him and his subordinate spirits at the moment. It was nothing new to the Queen of Fury, but the queen smiled at him warmly. Although she was exhausted by the tragic happenings in various parts of her territory, she tried not to look weak to him.
“I will be waiting for you.”
At that moment, Yong-ho wanted to touch her face, but he quickly controlled the urge. She was not Catalina or Kaiwan.
Yong-ho wrapped up the meeting with Ancablosa politely then hastily returned to Tiamet, the giant red dragon and his main base. Although he had the strong support of the powerful Dragon Legion, he was rather nervous and uncomfortable because of the King of Violence’s last will to him.
His subordinate spirits including Catalina gave Yong-ho some time to think alone. Rather than thinking about the King of Pride, he leaned deeply back in the captain’s seat and pondered over other things.
He lifted his right hand where Aamon and the Godly Energy of Greed were embedded.
Although he received it so suddenly, the true Godly Energy of Greed was finally in his hand.
Since he had the experience of exercising the true power of Gluttony through the Godly Energy of Gluttony, he became curious about the power of Greed.
