Dungeon Maker-Chapter 264 The King of Greed 4

Sitri went on, "The King of Violence was not deprived of his essence by the King of Pride. The King of Pride's plan to defeat the King of Violence may have been successful, but his plan to go to a higher level through the King of Violence failed. Moreover, he must have been hit hard."

Although the King of Violence's suicidal attack was very unfortunate, Yong-ho didn't think the King of Pride was killed by his attack, for the power of the King of Pride was too powerful.

The King of Pride had eight horns of light, six wide wings of light, and a huge halo of light rising above his head. Indeed, it was God-like power and majesty.

Sitri's relationship with the King of Violence wasn't that deep by nature. It was more than a thousand years that they existed in the demon world, but they met face to face for a dialogue only a few times, and even in that case, she talked to him as one of the five directors of the Dungeon Market, not as the Queen of Sloth.

It was only a few months ago that their relationship changed.

Knowing what happened to Mammon in the past through the Godly Energy of Greed, the King of Violence also discovered the true identity of Sitri.

The King of Violence had no ambition to rule the demon world. He simply sought knowledge as an observer of the world.

The King of Violence first contacted Sitri. He did not covet the Sin of Sloth or its Godly Energy. He just wanted to meet her to hear from her more about what had happened on that day and the place where Mammon's last fight took place.

Meeting the King of Violence, Sitri realized that his pure respect for Mammon was genuine. Thus, Sitri signed a contract with the King of Violence. Through a special magical contract, she told him specifically about what happened on that day, and the King of Violence granted her request in return.

The reason why he made the King of Gluttony restless by suddenly moving the Dragon Legion to the eastern border was because Sitri wanted it. It wasn't just because of Sitri that the King of Violence told the Queen of Fury to use him more actively, but Sitri played a role to some extent.

Her conversation with the King of Violence gave Sitri an unexpected joy. She found it was not as painful as she thought to share Mammon's last moment with him. While talking with the King of Violence about it, Sitri felt that her wounded heart was healed.

That was why she could maintain her relationship with the King of Violence. And their contractual relationship was useful in unexpected moments. The moment when the King of Violence was ready to attack the King of Pride at the risk of his life, and Abrasax, terrified in advance, deactivated the disturbing magic he had cast in the air, Sitri could receive more information than expected through her contractual relationship with the King of Violence.

Sitri thought of the King of Violence.

Reminiscing about the king, who was wise and intelligent unlike his nickname of violence, Sitri continued, "You should not neglect the death of the King of Violence. You have to use the Dragon Legion he left behind and the time he gained for you."

She seemed to be tired after talking long, so she paused for a moment and caught her breath before continuing.

"Under the best scenario, the King of Pride was severely injured, and Abrasax and Bifronz were killed. But that would be an overly optimistic scenario. So, let me tell you under the assumption that the King of Pride was injured heavily, and we have gained time because of his wounds."

The territory of the King of Gluttony was expanded in the light map of the demon world. Samael raised her left hand to point to the king's territory.

"A surprise attack through the Dungeon Market is now impossible. So, there will be an all-out war between the South and North. If that's the case, the first thing we need to attack is the territory of the King of Gluttony. There is currently no king in that territory, and there is a big turbulence in the country at the moment. Moreover, you can mount a surprise attack through the distribution channels that are still in my possession. It's time for us to ambush the King of Pride now."

The King of Gluttony's territory changed its hand overnight. Even though the King of Pride tried to attack the forces under the command of the Queen of Fury by mobilizing a huge army, he didn't get anything. Besides, the supreme commander, King of Pride, was severely wounded. It was no exaggeration to say that the territory of the King of Gluttony was in turmoil.

Catching her breath, Sitri spoke again, "You don't have to occupy the territory of the King of Gluttony. Like you did before, you can launch a hit-and-run strategy of dungeon attacks on a larger scale. The important thing is to gather the essence of the dungeon and grow your beloved dungeon soul, Lucia, so she can take full control of the Labyrinth of Greed completely."

[What?]

As if she was surprised by Sitri's sudden mention, Lucia shouted.

Sitri looked at Yong-ho after smiling for a moment.

"Complete Mammon's Godly Energy. Completely occupy the Labyrinth of Greed to be the true owner of the dungeon and unleash all its power. You have to be on par with Master Mammon of the past in order to confront the King of Pride who boasts of the most mighty power."

The power of the dungeon was its master's power.

The growth of the dungeon soon caused the master's growth.

The Labyrinth of Geed was the dungeon of Mammon, who could be said to be the strongest demon king ever. So, it was the strongest dungeon.

Yong-ho could understand fully why Sitri told her to completely conquer the Labyrinth of Greed. He had to conquer it to complete the Godly Energy of Mammon.

But Sitri's last words provoked Yong-ho.

"Wait a minute, wait, Sitri."

She clearly said he needed to be on par with Mammon to confront the King of Pride.

Yong-ho felt something different when she mentioned it. Not only Yong-ho but the others that were also gathered there felt the same way.

"Sitri."

This time, Gusion whispered to him. He intensely glared at Sitri with an angry expression, so much so that everyone in Scathach's mansion turned their eyes at him.

"Gusion."

Sitri calmly called him, which made him even angrier.

"Our Master Mammon had three Sins. And now, Yong-ho, our new master, has two Sins of Greed and Gluttony."

In other words, Yong-ho needed another Sin and Godly Energy to be on par with Mammon. Although it might sound weird, obtaining Mammon's Godly Energy was easy. Since it was a tool, all he had to do was just obtain it.

But in the case of the Sin, it was different. To obtain another Sin, Yong-ho had to kill the owner of the Sin.

If so, who should he kill to obtain another Sin? King of Lust? King of Pride, his greatest enemy?

Catalina, who belatedly grasped what was going on, uttered an exclamation before she knew it.

Kaiwan looked at Sitri, clenching her fists.

Gusion opened his mouth again, almost growling.

"If you are going to say you will sacrifice your life to our master, I'm not going to forgive you."

Sitri's soul is broken. But she was still a queen with one of the Seven Deadly Sins, with as many as seven horns. If Yong-ho could kill her and take her essence, he could obtain the third Sin and rise to a higher level than now.

With everybody keeping silent, Sitri faced Gusion. Faced with him who was like an angry bull at the moment, she didn't lose her composure.

"Gusion, you hate me, right?"

"Sitri!" Shouted Gusion.

His loud shouting shook Scathach's mansion, let alone the Garden of Life.

It was not just Gusion who reacted violently. Unlike Gusion, Yong-ho was upset, too. He could not take her essence by killing her.

Sitri looked at Yong-ho. She saw Scathach, who was about to cry at any moment, and heard Aamon who already arose into the flames of the red lotus.

Sitri shook her head and held Yong-ho's hand gently. She didn't want to create a sad atmosphere like this, but she was touched by their violent reaction or resistance to her insinuation.

She said in a tearful voice, "My beloved customer, don't worry. I don't want to die comfortably as if I was running away from you, leaning all the dirty work to you. I was Mammon's former lover. I'm very greedy like him. I would like to see my beloved master happier than now with lots of children in the future."

Then she turned her eyes at Catalina and Kaiwan. Catalina flinched the moment she heard it, and even Kaiwan blushed. Sitri smiled, looking at them.

"The power of Greed is possession, so it's something that only the King of Greed can do."

Besides, Yong-ho had the Godly Energy of Greed. The basic function of the Godly Energy was to reinforce the power of Sin.

"My beloved customer, you can use Kaiwan's power of distortion and Tigrius's power of unity becaue you have made them your subordinate spirits, who had such power for many years. However, not all the masters can use the power like you. Even if they obtain power in the same way, they can't exert their power properly because the moment they become another master's subordinate spirits, their power becomes very weak. Over time, it may even disappear."

Yong-ho was different from other masters. Even now, Kaiwan and Tigrius could use their power as well as they did before they were made Yong-ho's subordinate spirits, and Yong-ho could also make good use of their power. The only thing that Yong-ho lacked was his skill in using them.

Greed never missed out on the power that came into its realm.

"Power is the power of the soul that the master has. It's also the same with Sin. If power is the power of the master, Sin is the power of the king."

Yong-ho now could understand what Sitri was talking about. Everybody was surprised.

"My soul is still poisoned by the celestial power. Because of this, if you get connected to my soul, it can hurt you, my beloved customer."

Sitri grabbed his hand tightly and said, looking straight into his eyes, "Take the Queen of Fury as your subordinate spirit. Just obtain not only her body and soul but also her Sin."

Sitri's suggestion was ridiculous. The Queen of Fury was the head of the eight clans. She was Yong-ho's ally. She obviously had a favorable opinion of him, but it had nothing to do with her becoming his subordinate spirit.

But Sitri didn't back off. When Yong-ho was embarrassed, she continued to persuade him.

"You don't have to do it right now."

Yong-ho still had some time. He could make her his subordinate spirit even after defeating the King of Pride.

"You are the King of Greed. You're the most greedy man in the demon world. So, I believe you can do it. Can you do it?"

Letting go of his hand, Sitri smiled playfully and even winked at him. Gusion, who got sullen and upset because of Sitri, was dumbfounded, while Scathach blinked. Kaiwan and Catalina sighed at the same time. Yustia rummaged the fortune cards again. Skull burst into laughter after a long time.

And Aamon whispered alone in flames, making everybody confused.

[Is it because of your anguish in the end?]

Yong-ho didn't reply. Only the Sin of Greed and its Godly Energy gave off a subtle power.
