Dungeon Maker

Chapter 269: Dritarashutra (2)

Yong-ho touched Mammon’s throne. He was seated on the throne with the present and past 12 subordinate spirits of the Mammon family watching him.

This time, Catalina and Eligos were choked with emotions, and Yong-ho also shared their feelings.

He knew it the moment he sat on the throne.

The Labyrinth of Greed was watching him, which remembered everything that had happened in the Labyrinth of Greed from the first day Yong-ho first came to the House of Mammon until all the happenings until now, such as the days when Yong-ho had only two subordinate spirits Catalina and Eligos and the day when he put a straw mat on the red carpet in the demon king’s room, eating and sleeping there.

Later he added dungeon spirits starting with Goblin John and Ron to the House of Mammon. Eligos smiled brightly, watching the small makeshift trap and torture chamber, and Yuria and Baduk met for the first time through the jail bars. Skull rolled over the floor like a stone. Rikum and Burgrim joined hands with other dungeon spirits to improve the dungeon little by little.

Many other things happened after that.

It wasn’t just Yong-ho who saw it. Everyone in the heart room could see their own memories.

“I, Ophelia, Enderion’s daughter, am honored to see you, the great King of Greed.”

Ophelia knelt in front of Yong-ho and expressed her courtesy. Eligos, who shed tears a lot, knelt before him along with her. He could not speak because his voice was hoarse, but his action a moment ago was enough. Instead of laughing heartily as he did, Skull also showed due manners to Yong-ho.

It wasn’t just the new 12 subordinate spirits of Yong-ho who bowed to him politely. Mammon’s 12 Spirits also did the same. And the last one of them approached him.

“My beloved customer, as the Queen of Sloth, I, Sitri, am pleased to see you, the new King of Greed that I admire.”

At that moment, everyone in the Labyrinth of Greed knew. Rikum and Burgrim, who were working on the ground floor of the House of Mammon, and Yuria, who was digging potatoes along with Baduk and the Dungeon Meerkat, also realized it.

[I have completely captured the Labyrinth of Greed.]

[My beloved master, the Labyrinth of Greed is now completely yours.]

Lucia announced, and new mana was injected not only into the heart chamber but also into the entire Labyrinth of Greed.

Now, the Labyrinth of Greed had returned to the Mamon family after a thousand and hundreds of years.

<hr />

The reason why the heart of the dungeon was called ‘heart’ was not simply because it was the most important facility of the dungeon. Just as the heart of a living thing supplied blood to the whole body, the heart of the dungeon also injects mana into the dungeon.

Until now, it was the heart of the dungeon located on the ground floor of the House of Mammon that supplied mana to the Labyrinth of Greed.

But now it was different. Since Yong-ho completely took control of the Labyrinth of Greed, he could utilize the true heart chamber that had been sleeping for the last millennium.

The relationship between the dungeon and its master was close.

The stronger the dungeon was, the stronger its master was. When the master became stronger, his dungeon also became stronger.

Lucia, the soul of the dungeon, was like Yong-ho’s alter ego. Therefore, he vividly felt the process of everything about Lucia being transferred from the heart chamber on the ground floor to the deepest one as if it happened to him.

On the day Mammon died, the soul of the Labyrinth of Greed also died. In order to prevent the destruction of his 12 Spirits, Mammon terminated his contract with them. As a result, the Labyrinth of Greed was separated not only from Mammon but also from his 12 Spirits.

Lucia soothed the solitude of the Labyrinth of Greed. She became united with the Labyrinth of Greed on behalf of the soul of the dungeon where Mammon lived and died.

The heart chamber of the dungeon was filled with Lucia’s energy. A blue light, which was like Lucia’s symbol, spread everywhere into the wall, the floor, and the ceiling. It was as if a new stream of water dipped the dry riverbed.

A lump of blue light gathered before Yong-ho’s eyes. It was the magic of space leap.

The light immediately exploded, and a girl with blue hair appeared among the shattering piles of light. It was Lucia.

Lucia, with translucent butterfly wings behind her back, rotated in front of Yong-ho. Lifting the white hem slightly, she smiled at him broadly.

[Ain’t I cute like a fairy?]

[Thanks to taking control of the Labyrinth of Greed, I have grown a lot, too.]

The way she flapped her large butterfly wings was pretty cute.

However, Yong-ho expressed doubts about her look.

“You’re still the same as before except for your wings.”

Lucia looked like a girl less than 10 years old. Thanks to her young age, her butterfly wings looked well on her, but it had nothing to do with her ‘growth.’

Lucia replied after clicking her tongue, [I could have been a well-proportioned beauty, but if I do, I have to feel sorry for Yuria, right?]

[She is my only friend in this dungeon, so we need to grow together.]

Lucia’s original body couldn’t leave the dungeon’s heart chamber while Yuria couldn’t go down alone to the innermost floor where the dungeon’s heart chamber was located. Because of this, even though they became friends with each other, both had little time to play together.

But it would be different in the future. Lucia, who became the true soul of the Labyrinth of Greed, gained freedom of movement. She could now freely move anywhere within the Labyrinth of Greed.

Now Lucia could play together with Yuria. How much loneliness would Yuria feel if Lucia alone became an adult? Lucia wanted to be her friend, not her sister.

Yong-ho was moved to hear Lucia talking about Yuria like that, so he looked at her warmly.

It was the same with other subordinate spirits. However, only one, Aamon, responded differently, [Well-proportioned beauty?]

[This is the first time I’m hearing that, but I think I know what it means.]

[Our master’s anguish...]

But Yong-ho stopped him from talking anymore by violently shaking his right arm where Aamon was embedded. Then he took a deep breath. He quietly moved his fingers in the air and checked out the map of the entire Labyrinth of Greed. As expected, only one place was left for him to conquer.

It was a place that Yong-ho hadn’t been to yet. Even now, he didn’t know what was in that place,

although he was the true owner of the dungeon.

But he didn’t have to mention it now because not only him but all his subordinate spirits knew where it was located.

Yong-ho looked at everyone before he stood up from the throne.

Then he asked Mammon’s 12 Spirits in a low voice, “Is it okay?”

He was asking them whether he could step into that place or make it his own.

Scathach nodded first and said, “The true owner of the Labyrinth of Greed is now our young master, oh, no, our master. Definitely, you can.”

“If you come across anything that should not be seen, it’s the fault of our Master Mammon who died without hiding it,” Gusion added.

Yustia and Yuno also showed approval by smiling at him.

Lastly, Sitri approached him and spoke while gently overlapping her hand on the back of his right hand, “It’s his room. But it’s my beloved customer’s room now. So, he wouldn’t even care.”

Mammon’s room on the 13th floor of the Labyrinth of Greed.

The bedroom of Mammon who made the greatest achievements in the history of the demon world.

Yong-ho stood up from the throne. At that moment, Catalina, who was standing side by side with Kaiwan, fluttered her ears. He didn’t need to use the rapport between his status as the master and his subordinate spirit to talk to her. He read her mind immediately and ordered readily.

“Come on, Catalina. Just like my escort knight, come with me.”

Her tail flapped fiercely, like a puppy who heard she was okay to eat a snack.

Kaiwan hugged her arm and said in passing, “Well, I’m going with you because I’m his wife.”

It was none other than Mammon’s room. Kaiwan definitely wanted to go in and look at it.

Ophelia closed her lips tightly, barely holding up the urge to follow him, while Eligos wiped his tears as if he was touched by what was happening before his eyes.

When Catalina and Kaiwan walked with him on both sides, he approached Mammon’s door, located right behind the throne. He opened the door engraved with a red dragon, Mammon’s symbol.

It was not a very big room. Actually, it was large enough to house a whole basketball court, but it was never too big to be called Mammon’s room, who built the most powerful force in the history of the demon world. Besides, its interior was just plain, with luxurious furniture.

His room had nothing like furniture except for a bed, a table, and a few chests of drawers.

Only his bed was unusually large, which reminded Yong-ho of his own room.

Nonetheless, Yong-ho felt the room was special because it was Mammon’s room.

Catalina and Kaiwan began to look at the details closely, such as the walls and ceilings, one by one, like those who entered a museum.

‘Did I expect too much?’

Yong-ho slightly let down his shoulders. Of course, he didn’t expect any great treasure in Mammon’s room. What Yong-ho wanted was a conversation with Mammon.

Elune, YuhoYuan, and Magnadon left their own alter egos on each floor of the Labyrinth of Greed. Thanks to this, Yong-ho could chat with them, though briefly.

‘Any possibility that Mammon left his own alter ego here? If that’s the case, can I have a conversation with him?’

Of course, even if he could talk to Mammon, Yong-ho didn’t want to ask him how to overcome the current crisis or any know-how on increasing his power drastically.

He just wanted to chat with the great Mammon with a pure heart.

‘Well, come to think of it, it must have been pretty hard for him to send off his 12 Spirits.’

Of course, like Elune, he could have left behind his alter ego before going to the battlefield, but it looked like Mammon would not do that.
