Chapter 255 Fierce battle 5

In fact, Yong-ho had been hugging her all along while he was absorbed into thinking about the King of Violence. Probably, he would have been embarrassed and made a big fuss over what was happening before his eyes if he had just got here in the demon world for the first time, but he acted with composure this time.

"Hmmm... It's okay. I felt good. Oh, it's nothing. So, just forget it. Hmmmmmm," said the Queen of Fury. She cleared her throat in embarrassment.

Yong-ho quickly rummaged through his magic pocket and pulled out a cloak he used to wear usually. While she was looking at him in confusion, he gently wrapped his cloak around her. As a matter of fact, her short and thin clothes were literally messy because of her fighting. Her attire was in tatters because her arms and legs were covered with blood during the fight.

Rather than clearing her throat, she bit her lips slightly. She then grasped the hem of the cloak that he wrapped around her and shook her head hard as if she was trying to come to her senses.

Although the King of Lust fled, the battle wasn't over yet. Moreover, she had to do some other urgent things since she had taken care of the most urgent task.

"I guess I've got a lot to discuss with you, but I would like to…"

After blurring at the end of her words, she corrected her posture and said, "I would like to express gratitude to you formally. Thanks for saving me. If you had not come, I would have been in big trouble."

Yong-ho, who was afraid she might blame him for hiding the fact that he was the King of Greed, felt relaxed before he knew it. The queen's smile was pure and bright, so much so that he was embarrassed by her pure gratitude.

"You're welcome. I am just sorry for hiding the fact that I am the King of Greed."

Yong-ho also responded honestly.

The Queen of Fury knitted her eyebrows and asked, "Did you also defeat the King of Gluttony?"

"That's right."

The Queen of Fury was never stupid. The Godly Energy she exchanged with him proved everything.

The master of the House of Mammon was the King of Greed.

He defeated the King of Gluttony and saved the Queen of Fury.

Although it was an exchange, she handed the Godly Energy of Fury to him without hesitation.

It was only when the Godly Energy paired with the Sin of its corresponding Sin that anybody could exercise the true "power of the king."

Not only the Queen of Fury, but also Yong-ho realized it keenly.

Yong-ho felt a big difference in power while he was confronting the King of Gluttony, the first king Yong-ho encountered, and the King of Lust who he defeated this time.

The King of Gluttony was dealt a big blow because his subordinate spirits were annihilated, but he was still powerful in terms of the number of horns and combat skills. But Yong-ho really felt the impact of the "king's power" was powerful when he possessed the Godly Energy of Fury that he had exchanged with her.

The Queen of Fury wiped her left hand, not equipped with the Godly Energy of Fury, on her thigh instead of the cloak, and reached out to Yong-ho.

"You lied to me a bit, but I still want to trust you. Can I believe that our alliance against the King of Pride and the northern region will continue?"

Actually, that was what Yong-ho wanted. He grabbed her little hand then shook hands with her.

Then a smile was back on her face. It was so beautiful that he wanted to keep looking at it, but now was not the time to be complacent like this.

Given that there was no such problem with getting connected to his subordinate spirits who had been dispatched to save the tribesmen of the eight clans, it seemed they were safe, but he had to inform the queen that many places including the Temple were attacked. He also had to take into account the possibility that the King of Violence might be in danger.

"Dritarastra, I have something important to tell you."

While looking down at his hand, the Queen of Fury raised her head.

At that moment, several men called them in a hurry.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! We're in big trouble!"

"Master!"

"Yong-ho!"

Not only Kirtimuka but also Catalina and Kaiwan were rushing toward them.

***

The battle of the Red Demons, who were well known as a combat race in the demon world, was special.

They did not use luxurious and dazzling magic or superpower like other strongmen in the demon world. They have fought with their physical strength since they were born. They smashed the enemy with their clenched fists, and destroyed the enemy with a sharp and strong blow.

Because of this, the fight among the Red Demons was a pure physical fight. Their fierce fighting, which could not be more violent, could be called the essence of violence.

The area near the entrance of the Temple of the eight clans was completely ruined, with no traces at all. It was the result of the two monsters' clash, whose physical power outdid the dragons. Namely, Gusion and Orobas were engaged in deadly fighting.

Orobas was destroyed. All of his six horns he was so proud of were broken, and his left arm was torn off. The bones of his body were crushed to pieces.

Gusion, whose body was covered with blood, let out a rough breath. He opened his fists stained with his own blood and Orobas's and placed them on his chest. He took Orobas's essence and kept it.

After taking a deep breath, Gusion moved his right hand again instead of his immobile left arm and pulled out the elixir from the pouch on his waist. It was a precious item that he had kept at Mammon's treasure storage, but now was not the time to spare it.

When he gulped down one bottle at once, he felt his physical strength and mana recovered. He stretched out his left hand, which began to move again, and closed Orobas's eyes who were killed with his eyes open.

There was no end to the journey to martial arts, and there was no limit to the honing of martial arts skills. Orobas missed it. He was obsessed with strengthening his body by increasing mana, but he was defeated by Gusion, who continued to improve his skills and pursued martial art for a thousand years.

Gusion, who raised himself completely, wiped the blood off his face. As a subordinate spirit, he knew Yong-ho was safe. Although he was not sure how the fight on the eastern front was going on, it seemed that there was no situation he was concerned about.

If he could have his way, Gusion wanted to run to the eastern front right away, but it was unreasonable. They already reached the limit of daily use of the door of space. Besides, Gusion had some other work to do.

"What about other places?"

Gusion asked someone behind his back. Although he didn't rely on his superb ability to gather intelligence, he could find Ophelia's whereabouts through his keen sense that he sharpened while fighting Orobas.

Looking at Orobas's body blankly at a distance, Ophelia came to her senses suddenly and approached Gusion.

"We have secured the Temple of the eight clans. We could recapture it thanks to the great fighting of the King of the Asura clan and the King of the Dragon clan. It was crucial that you defeated Orobas."

Although they were the kings of their own clans, they were no more than the head of their own clan. Some of them were specialized in battles, such as King Asura and King Yaksha, but others were not related to battles, such as King Mahoraga.

If Gusion had not defeated Orobas, they would have been annihilated.

Ophelia flapped her tail as if she was resembling Catalina.

Gusion kept asking, setting his dislocated bones

"What about the damage on our side?"

"No one was killed."

"That means some of our soldiers were wounded. Give me a list of the wounded later. Let me give them a harder training."

Cracking a joke like that, Gusion again let out a long sigh. Thanks to the efficacy of Elixir, he felt like he already recovered his stamina a lot.

"Is there any dungeon being attacked at the moment?"

"Yes, there are several dungeons under attack right now. Gardimundi is collecting the relevant intelligence now."

Because of what happened a thousand years ago, Gusion was reluctant to trust outsiders like Gardimundi. However, Yong-ho made an alliance with the Queen of Fury, and he ordered Gusion to protect the queen's dungeons.

So, he faithfully followed Yong-ho's order, the King of Greed.

'The King of Pride.'

Although there were many generations before his family, Gusion still hated that name. Looking north, he roared once again then turned. He egged on Ophelia who said she saw something strange to find out the dungeons that needed his support.

***

The King of Lust sat down on the floor, clutching his chest. It wasn't just because he was injured while fighting Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury. His subordinate spirit just died. It was none other than Orobas, who he made his subordinate spirit only two days ago.

His plan went wrong. Something unexpected happened.

The King of Greed was back. Moreover, he had the Sin of Gluttony and the Godly Energy, in addition to the magic spear of the red lotus.

He was not Mammon. But he looked like Mammon. Aamon in the hands of the new King of Greed proved that he was Mammon's true successor.

Maybe Aamon wasn't the only one who survived. At first glance, he felt like he saw Scathach on the battlefield. It was probably one of Mammon's 12 Spirits that defeated Orobas.

The King of Lust raised his head. Sitting in a bush far from the battlefield, he looked southwest.

As if he was overwhelmed by the sense of guilt and regret that weighed heavily on his mind, he called out his lover's name, "Bellial."

He had no time. The dragon corps must have moved by now. He was not sure what kind of trick the King of Greed who returned might use against him. So, he had to fight it out as soon as possible.

The King of Lust turned into smoke again. Then he headed north, wishing the King of Pride victory.
