Chapter 239: King’s time (2)

It was just Gusion only who was talking.

“At first, everything went smoothly. But the situation became different when they were finally about to shut the door of the celestial world, faced with their fiercest resistance.”

Yong-ho closed his eyes. Kaiwan also clenched her teeth. Catalina bit her lips, hoping what she thought was not true.

“The King of Pride, the King of Envy, and the King of Lust betrayed Master Mammon. The Queen of Sloth didn’t betray him, but that’s it. The situation was irreversible by that time.”

Gusion frowned as if he was about to shed bloody tears at any moment.

“Elune was killed first, followed by Baruna and Yuho Yuan in the fierce fighting. All the 12 Spirits of Mammon were severely wounded.”

Yong-ho could remember it at that time. He recalled it when he peeked into the memories of Sitri and Mammon—Gusion was crying, shedding bloody tears, and Elune died in Sitri’s arms.

“Fortunately, Master Mammon survived. But he did not choose to leave the scene.”

Gusion let down his shoulders. His angry tone now subsided.

“The door of the celestial world was too wide open. If he backed down, he couldn’t promise the safety and survival of his country. So, Master Mammon decided to...”

The flames of the red lotus were burning high. Scathach put her hand on Gusion’s hand.

Gusion cried and laughed while talking.

Recalling the unforgettable king, who he had never forgotten for more than a thousand years, Gusion said, “He climbed the stairs to the celestial world alone. He chose to sacrifice himself to save the demon world.”

Abrasax soon erected seven horns. As if his nickname, the strongest mana, was not fake, he took control of the surrounding area with his enormous mana.

Almost at the same time, Bifronz and Orobas also opened their horns. The combined mana generated from the six horns became united with Abrasax’s, increasing the density of mana. It was literally a choking pressure.

Samael, the fastest wing, hurriedly opened her horns to confront their mana, but it was in vain. Abrasax’s mana was thrust into her like a serpent and tied her up. As if closing a bottle cap, he crushed her mana with his stronger mana.

Sitri also suffered the same thing. The mana of the three other directors squeezed her body.

Abrasax said, “I was thinking of executing it a bit slowly. Just like I did to Orobas and Bifronz, I took the time to try to persuade Samael and Sitri as well. But the situation was so urgent that I could not help it.”

Abrasax shook his head then made a smile humorously by twisting his beak.

“The King of Gluttony was dead. I don’t know who killed him, but he died anyway. Even the Ten Warriors that he boasted of so much were also killed. So, what should I do? Wouldn’t the dog that lost its owner have to find a new owner?”

Samael opened her eyes wide at his words that the King of Gluttony was dead.

Abrasax couldn’t hide his joy.

“There is no longer the territory of the King of Gluttony because the dogs who found a new owner hoisted up a new flag. Probably, there is a big turmoil there by now. They must be engaged in fighting each other, calling each other traitors.”

The three masters who used to enjoy a powerful force under the King of Gluttony chose the King of Pride as their new master. They reported to the king about the death of the King of Gluttony and the Ten Warriors, but they also pledged to devote their entire forces to him.

Now, it was time they kept their pledge.

The three masters who changed their master under the red sky were probably having a bloody feast. Their first mission was to annihilate the puppet king and a handful of loyalists. They had to get rid of the King of Gluttony’s remnants to dedicate the king’s whole territory to the King of Pride.

“The King of Pride will attack the King of Envy. The King of Lust can no longer resist him. Today the northern area will be unified under the King of Pride,” Orobas said in a low voice.

Abrasax laughed even louder.

“The Dungeon Market will follow him. Our role as a preposterous charity organization is over. We’re going to join hands with the King of Pride to go beyond the north to unify the whole demon world.”

The Dungeon Market had the power to control the entire demon world. However, they used it only in business deals. Besides, they didn’t do the business properly. They were just content with handling the business as usual by playing the book.

Abrasax hated it. He wanted to use the power of the Dungeon Market for a more valuable cause.

“We will reorganize the demon world. It would be nice if we could remove all the hybrid clans from the alien world. Don’t you think the demon world will be much more beautiful and fresh?”

He spoke casually, but Samael couldn’t stay still. The number of what the purists called “hybrids” in the demon world was several million. Are they going to kill all of these “hybrids”? How could he mention it so lightly?

Samael could not even say they were crazy. She could not just stand her anger surging inside her.

The best intellect, Bifronz opened all of his eight eyes.

He said, watching Sitri and Samael, “We don’t have much time like Abrasax just said. I know the atmosphere is a bit coercive, but I want you to make the decision now.”

The Dungeon Market was like a beast with five heads. If any of the five heads differed with the other heads, it had to be cut off. Only then could the demon called the Dungeon Market could exert its united power.

Orobas took a step. As the strongest Red Demon of his time, he did not hide his murderous intentions.

“Choose whether you will go along with us or you want to be killed.”

Mammon climbed the stairs alone. Since he chose to die alone. He forced his 12 Spirits to return to the demon world.

There was not enough time. Because of the influence of the celestial world, he could not use his ordinary magic to have them return. He had to break their will to stay with him. For this reason, their forced return was as good as sealed. Sending Aamon back to the demon world, he left the rest up to Magnadon.

Aamon and Scathach didn’t see him afterward because they were asleep for a long time.

But Gusion was a little different. Like them, he didn’t see Mammon, but he could hear from the previous masters of the House of Mammon who visited the arena about what happened afterward.

“The traitors went all out to destroy the House of Mammon. They also concealed the fact that the door of the celestial world ever existed in order to bury their disgusting and ugly betrayal in the dark. Master Mammon’s sublime sacrifice was hidden, and the House of Mammon fell.”

And a thousand years passed. The King of Pride, who led the betrayal, died, and the King of Lust practically chose to seclude himself. The. King of Envy, who was always controlled by another king, was on the verge of losing his country to the new King of Pride.

Gusion was now done. He told them all he knew. But Yong-ho had a lot to ask.

Why did Mammon want his 12 Spirits to not reveal this truth? Why did he arrange for only the master who was duly qualified to know the truth? That was not all. He had more questions about the 12 Spirits, but what he actually asked Gusion was quite a different question.

“What was the Queen of Sloth doing at the time?”

Three of the five kings betrayed Mammon. But the Queen of Sloth didn’t. Then, what happened to her? What was she doing when the Mammon Family was collapsing? Was the Queen of Sloth betrayed as well? Was that why she secluded herself?

Gusion laughed bitterly and replied with mixed feelings of love and hate.

“The Queen of Sloth stayed with Master Mammon until he climbed the stairs. She fought with us 12 Spirits. While the House of Mammon was collapsing, I am not sure what she was doing at that time. But it is clear that she has been upholding one of the late Mammon’s wills.”

Yong-ho stopped breathing. The puzzles that were messed up in his mind were put together. But he didn’t have the specific evidence. He was sure who she was.

She was that woman, Sitri.

<hr />

“Mammon,” she murmured to herself.

She then shouted, shrugging her shoulders, “Mammon!”

She called it out loud. It looked like she was about to cry at any moment.

It wasn’t because she was afraid of Orobas’s threat.

The Dungeon Market that she used to know was broken. One of Mammon’s wills was once again defiled by the King of Pride.

“What did you say? Mammon?”

Orobas asked again. Sitri didn’t bother to answer. She closed her eyes and withdrew one of the attributes of her power, ‘seclusion.’

The three directors felt it at the same time. Something changed. A weird force arose among the mana of the three directors that filled the conference room.

Samael felt Abrasax’s mana surrounding her distorted. Abrasax was startled, Bifronz and Orobas hurriedly concentrated their mana to overpower Sitri.

But it was impossible. Seven horns of light rose above Sitri’s head like a crown. The mana she released all at once drove away their mana.

And Sitri was satisfied with that moment. She reached out into the air. Through the ring, she summoned a lump of Brigada into the air and grabbed the Godly Energy of Sloth in the shape of a cane, which was a fragment of the flesh of the Demon God.

Sitri.

She was the “strongest force” of the Dungeon Market as well as the founder of the Dungeon Market, following the will of Mammon, the King of Greed.

The Queen of Sloth released her power, the Sin of Sloth, after a thousand years.
