Dungeon Maker - Chapter 273 - Dritarashutra (5)

Biryubakcha, the head of the Garura clan, came to his senses suddenly and opened his mouth wide again, but he could not issue an order. The northern forces were right in front of his eyes. If something went wrong, there would take place a major catastrophe. As a matter of fact, the majority of killing in battles occurred while they were fleeing.

Biryubakcha’s hesitation delayed the troops’ retreat by a few seconds. During that short span, however, more than a hundred southern soldiers were killed. It was no exaggeration to say that there were almost none who survived right under the hole. A huge blank was created in the middle of the southern army.

“Scatter to the left and right!”

Finally, Biryubakcha ordered his southern troops. Moving his hands, he issued a more complex order this time. The southern troops located far from the hole got into ship-shape immediately as if to show off the efficiency of their usual training, but those close to the hole did not. Those who fled in fear and confusion were wounded or killed in the process. Too many of them were trampled to death or injured by the same race, namely the tribesmen of the eight clans.

There was big confusion in the sky. Ancablosa, who was commanding the Dragon Legion, was embarrassed. The dragons and beasts in the sky near the hole were visibly weakened as if they were poisoned. The flying monsters that followed the dragon army couldn’t fly properly and fell down. After they fell, all of them had their essence taken away by the giant of light.

The same thing was happening to the northern forces. So, the northern forces were not responsible for this whole bizarre phenomenon. If so, what the hell was it?’

“The celestial world!”

Ophelia suddenly screamed. Eligos also realized it. It was the same situation that Gusion once described.

[You must stop it!]

[Defeat the godly man and close the hole. If left unchecked, more godly men will appear. In the worst case, you will summon the door of the celestial world Mammon closed!]

Aamon shouted urgently. He had experienced fighting the guys from the celestial world directly. Yong-ho didn’t know what Aamon meant by the godly man. But it was clear that the godly man was far from an ordinary being.

[Awaken the power of Sin.]

[That hole is not a proper door of the celestial world. So, you can close it with the same trick as stopping the twist.]

Yong-ho focused on the current situation. He didn’t think about why the celestial world got reconnected with the demon world or why the twisting occurred right above the place where the southern and northern forces were engaged in the fighting.

The Seven Deadly Sins, the fragments of the Demon God’s soul, responded to the power of the celestial world. In particular, Greed cried out more angrily than usual.

Yong-ho stepped in the air. Instead of calling Salami, he brought out Catalina’s mana to spread the wings of the shadow. He erected Aamon and stepped straight toward the godly man.

Kaiwan followed him without any hesitation. Catalina carried her on the back and took off.

Skull riding on Bucephalas started rushing backward. Skull, who had penetrated deep into the right-wing of the northern army, led the Death Knights to lead the Skull unit. He then injected Brigada with the power of death taken from Baphomet’s sickle. Skull gave it to his master, Yong-ho.

Ophelia and Eligos also turned to the southern army. Gusion gazed for a moment at the celestial hole above the northern forces’ heads but soon raced toward the southern forces. He could not afford to care about the hole above the northern army.

The giant of light, who was trying to stick his chest out of the hole after his head and shoulders, saw Yong-ho charging at him quickly. He shook both arms with which he smashed the southern soldiers. A wall of pure white light was shot toward Yong-ho.

But the green flames that ran from top to bottom broke the wall of light. The flames of Greed burned away the celestial power that formed the wall of light.

Yong-ho did not stop for a moment. He read the flow of the mana. Just like the hole did, the celestial power arising from the godly man’s body distorted his mana. Yong-ho could read the movement of the godly man through the twisting of the mana.

The godly man’s arm broke through the air at a terrifying speed. Yong-ho urgently lowered his altitude to avoid his arms before raising it again. Then Yong-ho burned the celestial power with the flames of Greed when the latter rushed to demolish his mana. Finally, he reached the head of the godly man and met his eyes.

There was a black hole in the pile of light where the silhouette was not clearly visible. And there were eyes shining in the hole again.

The godly man opened his mouth wide. Yong-ho stretched Aamon toward the head of the godly man. Then he strengthened his mana by activating the Demon God’s heart king’s mighty power. He injected a tremendous amount of mana into the man through Aamon.

The power of the celestial world was scattered at once, and the godly man shuddered. He screamed silently and swung his arms recklessly. Numerous tentacles of light came out from the space between the man and the black hole. They were aiming for Yong-ho.

But Catalina and Kaiwan did not let them attack Yong-ho. Catalina’s blade of the shadow and Kaiwan’s whip sword cut the tentacles of light. The Queen of Fury, who belatedly followed the two, struck the head of the godly man with the Godly Energy of Fury.

The power of the Queen of Fury, which became stronger when she got more furious, was terrifying. The godly man’s head was shaken greatly then shattered and scattered light.

Yong-ho withdrew mana then fired the green flames toward the godly man’s chest, who was staggering at the Queen of Fury’s attack.

The godly man’s chest was pierced by the ultra-high flames, and the godly man couldn’t sustain himself anymore. He released enormous celestial power at once then slipped back into the hole as if he was running away. But the green flames arising from his chest destroyed his body.

[Now is the chance!]

[Seal the distortion!]

Yong-ho now forgot the godly man. After turning Aamon back into a bracelet, he concentrated mana on both hands. Just like how he closed the twisting in the past and just like how he stopped the mana of the swirling seven colors, which was Magnadon’s last trap, he controlled the mana in the surrounding area. The horns of light that sprouted on his head radiated even more intense light.

The hole was twisted again. It rotated in the opposite direction from the beginning. Then it began to get smaller. Then, the light tentacles poured out from the inside of the hole. But these tentacles trying to block him were stopped by his 12 subordinate spirits and the Queen of Fury who finally arrived at the right moment.

“Surround your body with mana! You have to shut down the power of the celestial world!”

Gusion shouted at the top of his voice not only at the subordinate spirits but also the whole southern army. The power of the celestial world was no different from poison to the demons. So, they had to avoid the situation where they were inevitably exposed to the poison.

And finally, the hole was closed. The power of the celestial world was scattered by the mana before disappearing, and the swirling flow of mana was also stabilized by Yong-ho’s control.

Yong-ho breathed out roughly. Even though it wasn’t a real celestial door but a kind of dog hole, he had to consume a considerable amount of mana to close it.

But the fighting wasn’t over yet. There was still another hold in the sky over the northern troops.

Yong-ho turned and so did the Queen of Fury. The two felt some sharp chest pain.

They felt the power of Sin in the northern forces. It must be the power of the King of Lust. Besides, it wasn’t only the King of Lust that was out there.

Gusion gnashed his teeth. Scathach, who was healing hundreds of tribesmen of the eight clans at the same time, stared into the north. The Sin of Sloth was crying deep down in Sitri’s heart.

Ancablosa was thrilled. She remembered the last will of the King of Violence.

“The King of Pride,” said Yong-ho.

At that moment, tremendous mana occurred in the northern army as if it exploded. It swallowed up the torrent of mana created by the hole of the celestial world. The godly man, who was sticking his head and shoulders out of the hole, groaned, trampled down by mana.

The Queen of Fury finally knew the King of Violence’s heart. She truly understood why he chose to make a suicidal attack against the King of Pride.

There was a god-like being beyond that world. The title “Demon God” used by the King of Violence when referring to the being was by no means an exaggeration.

As if he was desperately struggling, the godly man released the power of the celestial world. And at that moment, another hole began to open above the heads of the northern forces.

Yong-ho concluded that it was not time for him to just stand as an onlooker.

“Dritarashutra! Withdraw the southern army right now! You have to retreat!”

It was not the time for him to deal with both the northern army and the celestial world.

There was no guarantee that the King of Pride and the King of Lust would give priority to closing the door of the celestial world like Yong-ho. There was a high possibility that they would rush toward Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury, totally ignoring the safety of the northern and southern forces.

Now was not the time for Yong-ho to fight against the northern forces. He had to concentrate on saving even one more southern soldier.

Fortunately, the Queen of Fury understood his intentions right away. She was a queen who loved her people more than anyone else. So, she ordered the head of the Garura clan, Biryubakcha, to withdraw the southern forces immediately. The northern army could not pursue them. Although Yong-ho felt the presence of strong mana beyond the hole, the King of Pride and the King of Lust didn’t show themselves.
