Chapter 202: The Flow of Fighting (5)

But she said, with a bright smile, “I hope I’m in your good hands. If we form an alliance with him, our people will be able to live more safely. Besides, we will be able to overcome the upcoming fighting in the north with less damage.”

“I just hope that you can make your private wishes come true, too.”

When Gardimundi said it, the King of Fury blushed, but she didn’t get angry.

As if she liked the king’s shy response again, Gardimundi giggled at her.

Actually, she was not sure if she could have a good personal relationship with the master of the House of Mammon, but she hoped she could hit it off with him well.

“Then, as a faithful friend and loyal servant of Her Majesty Dritarastra, I, Gardimundi of the Garura clan, will leave for the southern area to carry out your order.”

“Goodbye for now!”

The King of Fury hugged Gardimundi gently. Gardimundi winked at Kirtimuka, who was grumbling quietly over there then turned around. Without any hesitation, she jumped down to the ground from the balcony of the king’s room.

Right at that moment, a strong wind blew.

Spreading her red wings widely, Gardimundi headed to the south.

<hr />

The King of Gluttony left his palace at dawn.

Flying through the red sky of the demon world, he reminisced about his past.

He went through tough days. Being born as a Preta, the weakest demon in the demon world, where the strong preyed on the weak, was like being born with the fate of disappearing as somebody else’s meal or plaything.

But the King of Gluttony stood up on his own feet. He ate the same Pretas to increase his power and rose to the throne of the king step by step at the end of the day.

He didn’t reminisce about his past because he wanted to indulge in anything like sentimentalism. Actually, he wanted to recall his own identity that he had forgotten since he became the king.

If the Ten Warriors had been alive, they might have stopped him from advancing into the south.

He was pretty sure they would.

He was faced with too much danger. The forces of the King of Fury and the King of Violence were showing threatening movement. The power of the House of Mammon in the south was almost unknown.

That was why he had to move. There were limits to what he could obtain without taking risks.

If he had only chosen a comfortable path, he would never have climbed to his present status.

The King of Gluttony landed on the ground. As a result of high-speed flying magic, his body got heated up.

He took a deep breath. He saw the entrance to the dungeon of the House of Mammon and the dungeon meerkats hanging around there.

The King of Gluttony opened his hands. Then he made the undead army that he had prepared for his fight with the six kings descend on the ground.

A barrage of raids day after day really shook the House of Mammon.

Lucia immediately cut off the connection between Yong-ho and the virtual space of the Dungeon Market. Instead, she showed Yong-ho how the King of Gluttony was destroying the entrance to the dungeon of the House of Mammon.

The King of Gluttony did not appear alone. There were dozens of death knights beside him. There were also five mighty vampire lords, also called No Life King.

To talk about each of these spirits, they were inferior to the Ten Warriors, but it was important to know that the King of Gluttony was among them.

Now, Yong-ho had two options.

One was to lure them into the Garden of Life before he fought them just like he did when he fought the Ten Warriors. The other was to weaken their power by using the House of Mammon a bit.

Both options had strengths and weaknesses. Yong-ho did not have time to compare the two for long.

He suddenly stood up from the throne. He didn’t need to summon all the dungeon spirits because all of them were gathered in Scathach’s mansion. He tried hard to calm down.

The surprise attack by the King of Gluttony obviously caught him off guard, but this place was his own dungeon.

So, he had to avoid useless sacrifices. However, it was also reckless for him to deal with the King of Gluttony, one of the six kings, casually as if nothing happened.

Yong-ho made the decision. He opened his mouth to issue an order.

However, the moment he arrived at the Garden of Life and faced his subordinate spirits with an embarrassed and urgent expression, he heard Lucia’s warning.

[The ground is being destroyed!]

[The boundary between the first floor of the House of Mammon and the first floor of the Labyrinth of Greed has been destroyed!]

What Lucia reported was only her description of what’s going on before her eyes.

The ceiling of the Garden of Life collapsed.

The King of Gluttony, who went straight ahead without any hesitation, destroyed exactly one location. It was the very point where the ramp through which Yong-ho had lured the Ten Warriors into the Garden of Life was located.

A large hole was broken through the ceiling of the Garden of Life. Now, Yong-ho’s two options were gone, and he had only one choice.

Death knights and vampire lords came down through the ceiling. Surprisingly, the undead army stood up beside them. They were the forces of death summoned by the vampire lords.

The King of Gluttony took a deep breath among them. It looked as if he was absorbing all the smells around him.

The King of Gluttony’s sense of smell.

If Greed led its owner to what he wanted to possess, Gluttony led its owner to what he wanted to eat.

Yong-ho’s heart was beating. The King of Gluttony’s heart was pounding wildly.

“Indeed, he is the same guy,” said the king.

The moment he saw Yong-ho from a distance, he was convinced. He understood why he was distracted by a strange young guy at the auction house on that day.

There was a brief silence. It was like the calm before the storm.

One or two seconds passed.

Both of them now started to move against each other. The undead army of the King of Gluttony showed themselves first, while the Skull unit also rose up, holding their own weapons. The subordinate spirits of the House of Mammon quickly revealed their power.

The storm of mana was raging from all over. Yong-ho also summoned the silver dragon armor, staring at the King of Gluttony.

A silver armor wrapped around Yong-ho’s body. At that moment, the King of Gluttony hit the ground. He jumped out of the undead army as an individual then rushed to him.

The Garden of Life was vast. However, it was only an indoor space. The king was fast. He was never dull. With just one leap, he crossed more than half of the Garden of Life in the blink of an eye.

Catalina and Kaiwan hit the ground at the same time. Skull ordered the Skull unit to prevent the undead forces. Ophelia and Eligos immediately aroused their wildness and followed Catalina and Kaiwan.

The situation was favorable to Yong-ho. If the king revealed himself, it would only be easier for Yong-ho’s forces to siege him from all directions.

Skull and Tigrius planned to stop the undead forces. Catalina and Kaiwan threw themselves into the space between Yong-ho and the king. The silver dragon armor completely wrapped Yong-ho. Scathach hastily released the power of life to the Garden of Life as much as she could.

Right at that moment, the king made a second leap. The moment he hit the ground, he saw Catalina and Kaiwan but ignored them. He didn’t even attack them. He just focused on Yong-ho. He only thought of getting closer to Yong-ho, as if he was not afraid of the siege.

Six horns sprouted above the head of the king. His mana that opened up in an instant was as good as a bomb. The explosion of mana enveloped Catalina and Kaiwan. Besides, even Ophelia and Eligos had to stop for a moment.

The King of Gluttony looked at Yong-ho. For a moment, he forgot about ‘Gluttony’ that resonated with ‘Greed.’ He didn’t even think about the Godly Energy in his hand that was craving for a new sin. It was the power that he obtained after becoming the master of his house, which was also the driving force that helped him rise to his current position.

He was also known as Brunani, the Demon King of Vigilance.

The King of Gluttony activated his power, opening a new world.

Only heaven and earth existed there.

There was nothing like the Garden of Life, the Undead Legion, and the mighty storm of mana surging from all directions.

Yong-ho instinctively felt that his connection with Lucia was cut off. He couldn’t feel her presence like he did when he entered the arena.

It wasn’t just Lucia. He couldn’t feel the presence of Catalina and Kaiwan. The mana that he always received from his subordinate spirits through Brigada was also cut off.

When he suddenly felt isolated, Yong-ho looked far away. At the end of his gaze stood the King of Gluttony.

“I call this place a hunting ground or a dining table.”

The king shouted leisurely. His Godly Energy, responding to the enormous mana emanating from his six horns, formed its shape like the claws of a beast.

“My power. Only a hunter and his prey exist here. Only those who eat and those who are eaten exist here. And it is never deactivated until one eats or kills the other.”
