Dungeon Maker-Chapter 231 Surprise Attack 3

Yong-ho's target today was the dungeon located closest to the rocky mountain. Almost flying down the mountain, he ran toward the dungeon entrance without any hesitation. He heard the dungeon meerkats whimpering, but he lightly ignored it and smashed the dungeon entrance with the skills that he had earned from Gusion.

The lights at the entrance to the dungeon that detected the intruder were turned off. The sound of the dungeon spirits' rushing steps was heard deep inside.

Kaiwan threw a lighting fixture she had around her waist and drove out the darkness. At the same time, Yong-ho concentrated on his consciousness. He found the key with the power of Gluttony and opened the door of space.

Five Vampire Lords, headed by Wicross, lined up next to him. Ten Death Knights stood behind Skull, holding their own weapons.

At Yong-ho's order, Wicross, who was reborn as his loyal bodyguard as a result of true re-education, summoned the squad-level skeletons and Vampire Lords.

When he first invaded the dungeon, there were only four defenders inside it, but they numbered more than one hundred now.

Yong-ho lightly clenched his fist. Instead of using Aamon, he grabbed the sword he had picked from the armory and whispered to his subordinates, "We're going to go the most direct route."

His announcement was his order.

The smoke of Greed rose from all over his body.

Skeletons and zombies generously threw themselves to dismantle the traps.

Although hundreds of dungeon spirits at the gathering site were ready to defend in unison, they could hardly do nothing. The attack by the ten Death Knights, led by Skull, was a disaster for them.

All the Death Knights were assigned to Skull's unit. Because of this, they could synchronize with Skull and show a much more brilliant performance than Yong-ho expected.

The Death Knights could reach a higher level by sharing their battle experiences. Moreover, this time, Skull also benefited from them. The Death Knights' combat experience reinforced Skull further, and they further enhanced the combat power of his entire members.

Faced with the Death Knights wielding their swords like one, the dungeon ministers collapsed like scarecrows.

Yong-ho's Greed also presented the correct path to conquering the dungeon. After smashing the resistance of non-living dungeon spirits such as Living Armors and Golems, Yong-ho and his subordinates reached the heart of the dungeon in no time.

"Who the hell are you bastards!?"

Kaiwan rushed toward the master of the dungeon shouting at her. She wasn't grabbing a whip sword as usual, but she had a whip in her hand instead. The black leather whip, which was faster and sharper than her usual whip sword, wrapped around his body quickly. As always, she shouted, lifting the master stuck at the tip of the whip high and said, "It's time you got punished."

She rolled her eyes. As expected, he was staring at her after stopping confronting Yong-ho and Catalina.

She threw him down on the floor roughly then blushed inside her mask. After striking him down several times, she murmured as if she made excuses, "I was just absorbed in my role."

Instead of asking her what it was, Yong-ho just smiled at her. It seemed to be fun to bother Kaiwan a little more, but his priority was striking the dungeon first.

Catalina took the essence of the dungeon master who collapsed on the floor after losing his consciousness. Yong-ho also went into the heart of the dungeon and extracted the essence of the dungeon. Since the dungeon's soul was already killed, there was no obstacle other than the dungeon shield.

After extracting the essence of the dungeon radiating brightly, he gave them the next order because his target was not just the essence of the dungeon only.

The smoke of Greed led him to a new path according to his wishes.

As soon as he reached the dungeon treasure storage, located not far from the heart of the dungeon, the Vampire Lord summoned new skeletons to have them collect the gold and other jewelry of the treasure storage and put them in the leather sacks prepared in advance.

Once the leather sacks were full, Yong-ho sent the Vampire Lords and Death Knights back to the 'summoning room' made by the late King of Gluttony. The skeletons, each carrying one leather sack, followed their master, the Vampire Lords, so when Yong-ho was done with their reverse summoning, he was left behind with Skull, Catalina, and Kaiwan.

The reinforcement units from other dungeons had not yet appeared. Yong-ho signaled to them with a glance to get out of the dungeon.

The night was still long, and he had lots of work to do.

There were still 55 dungeons left under the command of the King of Gluttony.

***

While Yong-ho was in the thick of attacking the dungeons, Ophelia and Tigrius were busy reinforcing Cadis Fortress.

It was clear that Yong-ho's guerrilla attack would contribute to collapsing the remaining forces of the King of Gluttony. It was no exaggeration to say that Yong-ho's attack would quicken the collapse of the king's forces by at least a month or more.

That was why Yong-ho's subordinate spirits Ophelia and Tigrius would have to hurry up to prepare for their collapse. There was not much to worry about in the west, thanks to Embrio's destruction of the western area early on. The eastern area was now in a stable stage, and the southern area was long occupied by Yong-ho.

Ophelia and Tigrius needed to raise up the army to "conquer" the territory of the King of Gluttony while reinforcing the defense of the northern part with Cadis Fortress as the center. Cadis Fortress today was more of a bridgehead for attack than an axis of defense.

The demon world was a place where the strong prey upon the weak.

The Queen of Fury was just an ally of Yong-ho's. She was an outsider to the House of Mammon. And it was the same case with the King of Violence whose intentions were never known to other kings.

The strength of the queen and her subordinate spirits, who could be called her swords, was enough to stand up to other kings. However, she didn't have enough forces to deter them.

In some respect, this kind of turbulent times, coinciding with the collapse of the remaining forces of the King of Gluttony, gave the House of Mammon a golden opportunity to form the new forces.

Yong-ho had to move fast enough to make the other kings feel that he made a surprise attack.

The reason he chose to attack the dungeons close to the territories of the King of Violence or the Queen of Fury was because he wanted to reduce the dungeons that the two kings could occupy later.

In that respect, Yong-ho's guerrilla attack was not just directed at the remaining forces of the King of Gluttony. In a broader context, it could be called a surprise attack against the King of Violence and the Queen of Fury.

The House of Mammon was long buried in history after losing its glory in the past.

Yong-ho's counterattack to restore his family's past glory was already well underway.

***

On the surface, the current demonic world was relatively peaceful.

Although the forces of the King of Pride and the King of Envy were continuing the war in the north every day, there was peace maintained in other regions, even though it was peace amid tension.

But it was just peace on the surface.

It wasn't just the House of Mammon that was preparing for the counterattack secretly.

Other kings also continued to get ready for the war behind the scenes.

The three masters who enjoyed the most power under the command of the King of Gluttony joined hands together and wrote a letter, and they urgently dispatched an envoy to the king to whom they would donate their country.

Abrasax, who boasted of the strongest mana among the five directors of the Dungeon Market, once again met with the King of Pride. Originally, Orobas who had the strongest Herculean power was supposed to make a secret deal with the king, but neither Abrasax nor the king didn't think so.

Bifrons, the most intelligent among the five directors, had a meeting with the King of Lust.

The king was supposed to request all the five directors if he wanted a secret deal, but he didn't this time. It was Bifrons who made the request to the king first.

The King of Lust wanted to reject the request, but he couldn't because Bifrons made the offer that he could not reject.

Samael, the fastest wing, discovered belatedly that one Lich had disappeared from the warehouse where the Dungeon Market's defects were piled up. As the one who boasted of the best intelligence power among the five directors of the Dungeon Market, she could find out easily who took Lich.

She knew it was Sitri who was responsible for this theft.

It was no exaggeration to say that she, as the oldest member of the five directors, simply existed in the demon world for ages.

But she had been pretty active recently. And it was the new master of the House of Mammon that made her busy.

Samael remembered the warning Sitri gave her at the special auction house. But still, she had no intention of stopping now.

Yong-ho Cheon, the new master of the House of Mammon.

There was something mysterious about him, something not known at all to the demon world.

Samael pulled out a letter from the office desk drawer and opened it. It was a letter related to the last secret deal requested by the King of Gluttony.

Those who could move history were preparing something on their own behind the scenes.

And some of their activities had an organic relationship with each other.

It was peaceful on the surface. It seemed as if the current peace would continue in the future.

But it was different.

Their movement behind the scene would soon become a big current and affect everything on the surface.

The King of Violence, returning to his own hideout place, belatedly read the letter from the Queen of Fury. In the letter, she said she formed an alliance with the House of Mammon and asked him what he would do in the coming days.

'What do you think of the master of the Mammon family, uncle? Do you feel he is a good person? I think he is.'

The new King of Greed.

The King of Violence put down the letter. Instead of writing a reply, he watched over the world as the king of the greatest race of dragons.

There was a gentle ripple above the water. Soon, it was clear that the current below the water would shake the whole demon world.

'This time, no matter how much you don't want to stay away from it, don't think you can avoid it.'

The King of Violence recalled the Queen of Sloth. Since she had been secluded for a long time, she was forgotten in the demon world, but she was also inevitably involved. Her contract with the King of Violence himself proved it.

The giant red dragon, the King of Violence, established himself in the place where he was supposed to be after decades of absence. He closed his eyes comfortably. Past events that provoked his doubts were almost sorted out in his mind. Now it was the future events that sparked his curiosity.

The king wanted to take a nap. As an observer of the world, he was waiting for the era of turbulent times in the near future.
