Dungeon Maker

Chapter 244: Acceptance (1)

Blowing heavily between the canyons, the winter wind left behind a sharp scar. A light smell of blood spread widely on the wind.

Samael was dying. She suffered the loss of her left arm and one wing, but the real blow was Abrasax’s mana that was squeezing her body.

Abrasax’s mana with snake blood was poison itself. Although she shook off his mana by all means, just a little bit of poison that remained inside her body ate away her soul and mana.

Sitri, hiding in a crack in the rock, hugged Samael tightly. She held her head in her chest to give her some warmth.

She could not see ahead well. Sitri herself was not sure if she was poisoned by Abrasax’s poison or if it was simply because of her failing stamina.

As the fastest wing of the Dungeon Market, Samael’s power as a demon king was a space jump. As one of the five directors who was considered to be the same as the kings, except that she had no Sin and Godly Energy, her power lagged far behind that of Stravadi, who was the owner of the unclaimed land in the eastern area.

Sitri could not clearly locate where she and Samael were located. However, she was convinced that she was far from the headquarters of the Dungeon Market. Maybe she jumped hundreds of kilometers away from it.

She felt dizzy. The wounds of her soul she suffered on the day of Mammon’s death were opened up again. The price she had to pay for using the power of Sloth excessively was harsher than expected.

However, she had no choice but to use the power of sloth once again. Monsters were gathering toward her as if they smelled the blood blown on the wind. She had to avoid fighting them by all means. As things stood now, even a group of trifling Ogres were a grave threat to her life.

The power of hiding, one of the attributes of Sloth, wrapped around Sitri and Samael, separating them from the world.

‘Samael.’

The reason why Samael was in serious condition was not just because she was poisoned by Abarasax. She had one more reason, which troubled Sitri’s mind.

At some point, Samael’s mana was weakened sharply. Moreover, it was not just a simple weakening. The maximum amount of her mana itself decreased.

Obviously, this was caused by the death of her subordinate spirits. Sitri could not think of any other reason.

Three betrayed directors were in control of the Dungeon Market. Besides, they already acquired the special auction house inside the Dungeon Market, which was Samael’s base. It was only a matter of time that the entire forces of Samael fell into the hands of the three directors.

Sitri had to inform Yong-ho of this. She also had to warn the King of Violence and the Queen of Fury against this. Otherwise, they would collapse helplessly.

‘Mammon...’

Sitri closed her eyes, caressing Samael. She could not remain conscious anymore. Like water was leaking from a broken vessel, her strength was constantly getting out of the wounds of her soul.

The winter wind blew. Sitri, who finally exerted her strength, lost consciousness. She fell into a deep sleep.

<hr />

Catalina, who always slept until late in the morning, found it hard to move around in the morning, but Yuria was jumping here and there vigorously, as always, as if she couldn’t control her overflowing energy.

“This is the baby meerkat’s bed, and next to it is Baduk’s bed. And that one over there is the white wolf’s bed!”

Yuria’s room, also called the “nursing room” in the past, was very spacious. Raising her little hand, Yuria pointed to the beds of her friends sharing the room. The baby dungeon meerkat’s bed was a miniature bed just right for a doll play, and Baduk’s was an extra-large bed that would allow even an Ogre to lie down.

“Meowing!”

“Wal! Wal!”

Like Yuria, the baby meerkat and Baduk raised their voices, jumping around. They were all smiles in a cheerful mood.

However, the white wolf, the head of a group of wolves that once followed Embrio, remained silent with a complex and subtle expression. Unlike Baduk, he kept the attributes of a four-legged beast, so instead of a bed, he had a fluffy blanket and a straw suitable for leaning.

Yuria was upset a bit because the white wolf didn’t respond well as she wished. Yuria turned around and pointed to the pink bed opposite to Baduk’s bed. It was the princess’s bed that had a separate curtain as well as a roof on the bed.

“This is my bed. Isn’t it pretty? Sister Kaiwan bought this blanket for me when she visited the human world with the master.”

As if she boasted, Yuria moved up and down the soft and fluffy cotton blanket.

Obviously, she signaled to Scathach with a glance, asking her to touch it.

As she was responsible for making her thrilled like this, Scathach did not refuse Yuria’s favor. After stroking Yuria’s head as well as the cotton blanket, she pointed to the large mattress in the middle of the room and the blanket spread over it.

“Then, what is this?”

At Scathach’s asking, Yuria scratched her face instead of immediately replying.

Then she said while twisting her body slightly, “Hehehe. I think we will feel lonely if each of us sleeps separately. So, we’re going to sleep together at night.”

Only then did Scathach understand why each of their beds was so clean.

She said with a big smile, “Hey Yuria, then, shall I sleep here with you guys tonight?”

“Really? Are you sure?” Yuria asked with her eyes wide open.

With her eyes wide open too, Scathach replied, “Yes, I mean it.”

Yuria screamed and hugged her. Hugging her in her arms, Scathach closed her eyes.

She was grateful that the first place she visited after leaving her mansion in one thousand years was Yuria’s room.

Watching them at a distance, Gusion and Yong-ho spoke at the same time, “It’s warm and cozy here”

“Yeah, it is!”

In particular, Gusion’s gaze and voice contained his mixed feelings.

“Scathach had always liked children.”

Scathach, who could be called the incarnation of life, could not get pregnant with Gusion’s baby.

As they had fundamentally different attributes from the beginning, it was inevitable.

“The Queen of Fury has requested for a meeting?”

Instead of indulging in idle thoughts, Gusion brought out a different topic.

Yong-ho nodded slowly, recalling his meeting with Gardimundi yesterday afternoon.

“It seems like she wants to attack the territory of the King of Gluttony with us. Of course, she wants to discuss the details at the meeting.”

The Queen of Fury did not know that the King of Gluttony was killed. If she had known that, she would have hurried to attack a little earlier.

“Well, I think there are many guys who can give you better advice than I, so let me skip it. But...”

Gusion, who blurred at the end of him speaking, dropped the cigarette that he was going to put in his mouth habitually. After looking at Scathach and Yuria still holding each other tightly with a pleasant expression, he said, “I recommend you occupy the 11th floor before going to the meeting. Since you’ve been recognized by Yustia, you won’t have any big difficulties. Even if Lucia couldn’t take full control of the 11th floor, you might get Yuno’s recognition. What I mean is there is nothing to lose if you challenge the 11th floor.”

Just like Gusion said, if Yong-ho got the recognition of Virgo Yuno guarding the 11th floor, who was counting the stars, Mammon’s Godly Energy would be complete. So, it was better for Yong-ho to hurry up.

“There are only good episodes about this lady named Yuno, oh, who I feel a bit uncomfortable to call a woman. Is it true?” asked Yong-ho.

“Actually, that’s true. Although she isn’t as good as Scathach, she has a pretty good personality. She was the cook of the Mammon family as well as a great wizard. Oh, sorry, what you want to know about her is nothing like this. She is a beauty, yes she is really beautiful. She has a slim figure, and she is a beauty with a different charm than Elune or Scathach,” Gusion replied in a subtle voice.

At that moment, the flames of the red lotus arose in the air above Yong-ho’s head.

[Master, the power of your anguish is increasing.]

“Nope! And I wasn’t curious about her look.”

Yong-ho, who cut off Aamon’s words in the middle, frowned without finishing his words.

Gusion laughed heartily and said, “That’s why I like my master. He is honest.”

Yong-ho sighed. After holding back Aamon, who was trying to say something, he changed the topic.

“Let’s stop the nonsense here. Let me proceed with making you my subordinate spirit. In fact, everyone said you should be the top priority because I’ve reserved the spot for you for a long time.”

“Hahaha. Do you think you can really control me?”

“Don’t worry. I think I can even make Scathach follow suit after you.”

It wasn’t just Yong-ho’s mana that became strong as a result of the synthetic reinforcement. The power of Greed also became stronger than before, so he could possess more subordinate spirits than before. It was unreasonable for him to possess 12 Spirits like Mammon, but it seemed possible for him to possess as many as ten.

“Then, why don’t you do it in the afternoon after lunch? I think it will be efficient in many ways for you to proceed with it when all other subordinate spirits are gathered,” said Gusion.

Gusion’s offer was quite reasonable because if Yong-ho made Gusion his subordinate spirit, it would have an immediate effect on other subordinate spirits.

“Okay, then I’ll see you later in the afternoon.”

Yong-ho stood up after replying gently. Instead of standing up after him, Gusion laughed playfully and bowed to him with an exaggerated gesture.

“Goodbye, master.”

“See you then,” Yong-ho also replied a bit hyperbolically like Gusion and left Yuria’s room.
