Chapter 185: King’s Qualification (2)

Lucia hugged Yuria suddenly, which Yuria liked, with her eyes glittering. She could not help but burst into laughter because she met friends her age for the first time at the dungeon of the House of Mammon. In fact, both of them were only a year apart.

Everyone laughed warmly at them, but Baduk felt jealous about Yuria, who was so happy with Lucia.

Lucia’s rapid growth resulted in more workloads of the dungeon spirits of the House of Mammon.

Skull and its unit were dispatched to the construction site of a new facility. Farming, which was virtually suspended during their eastern expedition, was also urgent, so some members of the Skull unit headed to the Garden of Life. Under the command of the dragon soldiers, who were reborn as veteran farmers, the Skull unit newbies held sickles and hoes.

Eligos and Ophelia were also busy. They needed a manager to take care of developing the new silver veins and other veins. Ophelia had to even design the water and sewage facilities.

Flushed with excitement, Burgrim started to inspect the facilities on the 4th floor. The orc blacksmiths, who had been reassigned as Burgrim’s disciples and direct subordinates, trembled at the joy of seeing the upcoming new facilities while feeling terrible at working through the night.

Yong-ho also had a job to do.

Fully prepared, he headed for the arena with Catalina and Kaiwan.

24th floor of the arena.

Behind Yong-ho’s back lay Troll Mountain King, whose head was about a dozen meters high. The blue-skinned guy’s body was covered with various ores, so despite being naked, it boasted of his powerful defensive power as if he was wearing iron armor.

Because of this, Yong-ho cracked the neck of the guy, which must be soft.

It wasn’t that difficult for him to cut it because its neck was also big just like his body.

Mountain King wasn’t just a giant with high defensive power. Like a troll, the guy had a tremendous ability to regenerate, and it was raising parasites capable of casting attribute magic.

Since it was not enough to cut the neck once, Yong-ho went into the body of the Mountain King and burned all its internal organs. Thanks to the shield of distortion, Yong-ho could stop its attribute magic and gastric juice, but the gas in its stomach was a problem. Barely avoiding being suffocated, he took a deep breath several times.

“Man, I almost died.”

The arena changed, starting with the 20th floor. Of course, one thing never changed, namely the appearance of a stronger floor master every time he took over a floor.

But the penalty in case of defeat and the emergence of the floor master were significantly different from those below the 20th floor.

First, the penalty became heavier. It wasn’t just the penalties that required the challenger to become a spirit of the arena in case of defeat. In the event of defeat, there was a penalty that required the loss of a dungeon spirit as well as half of the loser’s mana.

And the lineup of the floor masters became more colorful. Up to the 19th floor, floor masters almost as tall as humanoid or humans appeared, but from then on, not only giants these days, but also monsters reminiscent of dragons appeared. Previous masters of the Mammon family also appeared more frequently.

‘Well, the process is difficult, but the rewards are better.’

Yong-ho absorbed Mammon’s mana. He didn’t feel like his mana was growing rapidly like before, but it definitely worked. Every time he absorbed one, he felt like his mana became pure.

His mana, which rapidly increased through the absorption of the essence, was as good as rags.

Although he devoured it with the power of greed, he didn’t digest it properly.

But Mammon’s mana solved this problem. Each time Yong-ho got mana, it closed the gap between different essences and filled the gap.

The clear rewards of the 24th floor was an elixir that restored all abnormal conditions and restored stamina and mana. There was golden water in a very small glass bottle, like a medicine for an eye bottle.

“Damn it. It rips me off, man. I never expected getting an elixir on the 24th floor.”

Gusion mumbled with a happy look. Yong-ho carefully kept the elixir in his pocket then hurried to the special seats where Gusion, Aamon, Catalina, and Kaiwan were waiting.

“So, the King of Gluttony is going after you. And I feel like the countdown has begun.”

Yong-ho nodded softly. Catalina and Kaiwan, who was next to him, were warming up to challenge the arena.

Gusion gently patted his chin and said, grinning suddenly, “You said when you faced the King of Fury, your power of anguish grew stronger, right?”

Catalina and Kaiwan rolled their eyes at the same time. Yong-ho quickly looked at the weapons that the two were holding. He did it almost instinctively.

Gusion continued with a hearty laugh, “Just kidding, man. Oh my God! It’s amazing to find my dear Kaiwan has changed like this. You, too, escort knight.”

Kaiwan turned her head, a bit sullen as if she was embarrassed, and Catalina pouted her lips.

Aamon said, [Our little master’s power of anguish has become stronger.]

[I want to tell you it’s a joke, but that’s true.]

Catalina and Kaiwan looked at Aamon sharply again.

Yong-ho looked at Aamon, feeling betrayed, but Aamon was silent.

Gusion quickly stood up and changed the topic, smiling slyly.

“Anyway, it’s just good! I told you already that the guy who guarded the 5th floor was Sagittarius, right? I mean our inflexible knight Asclepius.”

“Yeah, you did. So what?”

Yong-ho hurriedly responded to Gusion. Gusion winked at him slightly, and said, “The 5th floor is his armory. It’s a perfect place for him to confront his enemy.”

<hr />

‘Gusion! You must be a trickster!’

Yong-ho, who hid himself behind the wall, cursed at him. Even at this moment, dozens of arrows of light kept striking the walls ruthlessly and penetrated the passages between the walls.

There was something special about the arrows, let alone the arrowhead and arrow shafts.

The arrows, literally flying like light, exploded every time they collided with the wall.

The noise of the explosion was so big that Yong-ho could hardly hear anything.

So, he once again cursed and recalled what Gusion told him.

“Sagittarius Asclepius, the knight of the sun. He’s a proud and honorable guy like his name suggests, though he is a bit too brusque. If he runs into you, he might express due manners to you like a noble knight.”

Actually, Asclepius was the opposite. When he ran into Yong-ho’s party, he reacted very shortly. All of a sudden, he fired arrows of light.

“Master!”

“Yong-ho!”

“Block it!”

Several voices rang at the same time. It was because the arrows, which had only been flying straight ahead, started to “turn” the moment they passed the wall.

Yong-ho hurriedly stretched out his hands and created a shield of distortion. Catalina, who was right behind him, looked over the shield at Kaiwan on the opposite wall. Like Yong-ho, Kaiwan also protected Eligos and Ophelia by opening a shield of distortion.

Kaaaaaakang!

The arrows of light hitting the shields of distortion exploded in succession. Regardless of Yong-ho and Kaiwan’s efforts, the shields of distortion shook wildly.

Yong-ho reinforced his mana and signaled to Kaiwan. Like his familiar spirit, Kaiwan immediately read his intention and nodded. Both of them signaled to each other with their eyes then hit the ground at the same time.

It was a passage three meters wide. Yong-ho and Kaiwan created a barrier together. It would have been impossible if their relationship was just routine, but it was also possible to mix their power because both of them had a tight bond as a master and his familiar spirit.

The large and thick shields of distortion stopped the arrows of light more smoothly.

Yong-ho saw Centauros sitting in the middle of a large room beyond his blurred vision.

Once again, Gusion’s words came to his mind.

“I might speculate this, but don’t worry if he runs wild. If you obtain the fresh green armor from Mammon’s armory, you can negate most of his arrow attacks.”

‘Well, I think that must be the fresh green armor.’

The lower body of Centauros was a nice black horse, and its upper body was a knight in green armor.

The green armor seemed to be made of tree trunks and leaves. Thin stalks were placed all over the armor, like vines on the wall, and wide-grown leaves were stuck on its shoulders and chest.

What Gusion told Yong-ho proved all wrong. Asclepius, the knight of the sun, was insane, and the green armor that could negate his attack covered his body.

It wasn’t possible for Yong-ho to talk with Asclepius now. Moreover, Asclepius didn’t seem to stop being a mere threat to him. Like Baphomet on the second floor did, he tried to kill Yong-ho’s party.

Swallowing, Yong-ho rolled his eyes. Because of the explosions caused by the arrows of light, his eyes were blurred, but he could easily see several corpses scattered throughout the floor. Most of them were probably the past dungeon spirits of the House of Mammon. Maybe one of them might be a previous master of the Mammon family.

It was the moment for Yong-ho to make a decision.
