Dungeon Maker

The news about the King of Violence's military provocations reached the House of Mamon.

Yong-ho and Ophelia decided to take it as good luck. Faced with the real threat of the King of Violence right now, it was very unlikely that the King of Gluttony would attack the southern area.

Instead of being in a hurry and impatient, Yong-ho set into motion his action plan one by one.

He moved the entire living facilities on the first floor to the first floor of the Labyrinth of Greed. The original place of the facilities was filled with the dungeon defense facilities.

He also moved the heart room where Lucia was located to the fifth floor of the Labyrinth of Greed. Although he felt sorry for Yuria, who just made friends with Lucia, who was also very disappointed, it was inevitable. The heart of the dungeon had to be kept in the safest place.

It took some time for him to move the dungeon facilities and establish a new defense facility. In the meantime, he carried out the evolution of the dungeon spirits that he had postponed.

The Skull unit, which brought a lot of achievements in its eastern expedition, had many members eligible for promotion. Thanks to their synchronization, its skeleton soldiers and skeleton warriors carried out excellent performance as skeleton warriors and skeleton knights respectively, so the Skull unit's combat power greatly improved through several promotions of its members.

In the case of general dungeons, when the dungeon grew and brought in stronger dungeon spirits, the existing spirits were usually abandoned because most of them were much weaker than their new counterparts.

However, thanks to the power of evolution, no dungeon spirit at the House of Mammon was abandoned, for they also grew together with the dungeon.

After evolving the goblin rangers to the point that they had little traces of goblins except for their green skin, Yong-ho stretched himself. Although he evolved hundreds of dungeon spirits until now, he had some other work to do.

"How about taking a break without overworking yourself"

Kaiwan sat on the armrest of his chair and put her hand on Yong-ho's shoulder.

He felt he was working too much like Kaiwan said, but he couldn't delay again.

He said, gently pushing her away, "Because time is gold."

"Well, if you think so…"

Unexpectedly, she gave up easily then stood beside other dungeon spirits. They were lined up, facing his chair.

"Everyone can get a promotion except for Skull."

Their promotion was overdue because all of them got promoted a long time ago.

Regrettably, it was impossible to evolve Skull through combination magic. It was because Sitri couldn't find a suitable Necromancer Undead.

"Skullkull."

Skull laughed loud as if it didn't matter. In fact, Yong-ho felt he didn't need to hurry because he evolved Skull into a Dragon Bone Knight only recently.

"Let me do something about Catalina first."

When Yong-ho called, Catalina, who was standing next to Skull, came along. Her current position was Shadow Mystress. Yong-ho promoted her to Shadow Queen by activating the power of evolution.

On the surface, Catalina, who was standing at the place where the radiant green light disappeared, did not change significantly. However, Yong-ho, who could see her and her mana directly, felt a marked difference. And there was somebody who noticed a subtle difference, too.

"Well, I wonder if that's what Yong-ho prefers. I hope he can change me like her."

Since she noticed that Yong-ho could change one's appearance with the power of evolution as he wished, Kaiwan cracked jokes like that whenever she had a chance. Eligos, who was the next one after Catalina, approached him anxiously while Ophelia giggled. So, she only moved her lips to convey her intention to Yong-ho silently.

"Well, yes. That way."

When Yong-ho responded naturally, Eligos flinched.

He looked back and asked, "Promotion… I'm getting promoted, right?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll get you one."

With Eligos being tense and anxious, Yong-ho promoted Eligos by activating the power of evolution. Now promoted from Red Demon Tyrant to Red Demon Genocide, he had a hairy chest and wild look.

Ophelia was happy about the outcome of her promotion. She was promoted from Red Demon Breaker to Red Demon Champion, and Tigrius was promoted from Wizard to Warlock.

Kaiwan, who went through evolution after becoming Yong-ho's familiar spirit, got a promotion for the first time, so she was rather uncharacteristically nervous and tense this time.

Yong-ho, who felt the urge to tease her, put his palms on her cheeks. Then even before Kaiwan could begin to complain, he activated the power of evolution.

Her hair when she got promoted from Sword Queen to Sword Empress turned a little more like a flame. She laughed after checking herself as a whole.

"Oh gosh! How can I get this plastic surgery without any side effects? I think I am blessed with a man."

Yong-ho turned away from her with an effort then pondered over whether to evolve Skull. Since they repeatedly went through evolution and promotion, the dungeon spirits' EXP accumulation slowed down a lot. Since Sitri said she would get him Necromancer Undead within a few days, it might be better for him to postpone their evolution.

"Skull Skull."

As if it read Yong-ho's agony, Skull shouted, showing both palms. It seemed Skull wanted Yong-ho to delay evolving him.

"Okay, take a good break today, everyone. We're going to start attacking the 6th floor of the Labyrinth of Greed right away tomorrow morning."

Yong-ho made the announcement, and each of the dungeon spirits moved to their room.

Instead of standing up right away, Yong-ho sat on the chair and looked at Aamon, placed in the form of a bracelet on his right arm. He recalled what Aamon said right after the attack on the fifth floor.

***

"They're really terrifying."

The dungeon monsters that occupied the 6th floor were not comparable to those on the 4th or 5th floor. Not only the white-haired gorilla-shaped monster Lesser Demons that eat Ogres, but also Cyclops, the one-eyed giant, and Stragos, the prince of the ghouls who were not comparable with ordinary ghouls, came out in droves.

However, when Kaiwan said it was terrifying, she didn't refer to the dungeon monsters. She was talking about the Skull unit slaughtering the dungeon monsters after they synchronized with Skull.

As Yong-ho expected, the Skull unit, armed with magical equipment on the 5th floor, really boasted of their tremendous combat power. They were no different from the unit with hundreds of Skeleton Knights.

Given that they had the attribute of the tireless undead, they had a combat power strong enough to beat thousands or even tens of thousands of Skeleton Warriors.

On the 6th floor, there were various living spaces as well as a prison and a torture room. Although Eligos strongly expressed his desire of touring the place, he couldn't because of Ophelia who had complete control over him. Eligos knew when to restrain himself.

With Eligos feeling frustrated, they examined the whole 6th floor for a while. Finally, Yong-ho's party reached Yuhoyuan's room next to the passage leading to the 7th floor.

Since the Skull unit was in charge of the battle to take over the 6th-floor attack, Yong-ho and his dungeon spirits did not waste their physical strength at all. Skull and Eligos, at the order of Yong-ho, who signaled to them with his eyes, opened a large steel door.

Gemini Yuho and Yuan of yin and yang.

There was little record about the duo, in particular, among Mammon's 12 Spirits.

Aamon said the two were already dead, just like Elune and Baruna. However, Aamon also said that the duo might have left behind their surrogates with a high probability.

The room, which looked about ten meters wide and twenty meters long, was full of toys.

Unlike other rooms so far, this room itself was equipped with a bed and other furniture as if it were a living space.

Yong-ho first stepped into the room. Then, a soft light appeared on the chair at the end of the room. A pile of light that closely resembled what he saw in Elune's room in the past became united and formed a human shape. It was a boy and a girl sitting side by side.

"Hi."

The boy, who looked a little over ten years old, was dressed in black. His hair was grey, and his eyes were blue.

The girl sitting next to the boy was dressed in white. Contrastingly, her hair was black and her eyes were red.

Both were a boy and a girl who were pretty like dolls.

The boy and the girl opened their mouths before Yong-ho could even say anything.

"It's the first time anybody has come to this room with Aamon."

The duo continued, "You even have Godly Energy!."

Not all of the 12 Spirits of the House of Mammon challenged their masters with battle-related tests.

The boy and the girl beckoned to Yong-ho to come closer.

When he and his dungeon spirits approached them close enough, they continued, "I don't think you need a cumbersome test"

"If you can handle the power of harmony properly, you have already passed the test."

The way they spoke to Yong-ho was far from childish. Both of them seemed exhausted.

What was left in this place was the same replica of those that existed in Elune's room.

Yuho and Yuan beckoned to Yong-ho again and asked them to stand in front of them.

Yong-ho stood in front of Yuho and Yuan, and the two looked up at him.

For the first time, they made a childish smile.

"You look like the master."

Yuho and Yuan raised their hands at the same time and touched his Godly Energy, then transferred their power to him naturally.

The power of Yuhoyuan was harmony.

Aamon once told Yong-ho that it was particularly important, unlike the typical power.

The moment he accepted the power of harmony, Yong-ho knew it.

He seemed to know what he had to do with this power, and why Yuho and Yuan said that dealing with the power of harmony itself would be a test.

Yong-ho exercised the power of harmony. His power was not limited locally, but he let it engulf himself. He used it for everything he had.

It was a vast power that made him feel dazzled. He felt dizzy.

In the meantime, he maximized his senses then he found some familiar energies in no time.
