Chapter 267 Massive strike 3

[Yes, she is still alive. She is with us now. But she has been poisoned by the celestial world.]
Yuno's face hardened even harder when she heard the expression 'poisoned by the celestial world.'
Instead of asking for further explanation, she immediately said to Yong-ho, "The new King of Greed! It would be useless for me to test Your Majesty in the current crisis. I recognize Your Majesty. I will provide you with power that the great Mammon has secured for me."
Since Yong-ho already experienced it several times, he immediately lifted up the magic field in his left hand. When Yuno gently touched the magic field, a light pink color filled the few remaining holes of the magic field.
The power of Yuno in Virgo, who was counting stars, was love.
She could be said to be a collection of all emotions.
Aamon had already belonged to Yong-ho, so now Yong-ho had to get the recognition of Richard in Leo. Once he recognized him, Yong-ho would finally get the recognition of all the 12 Spirits of Mammon.
Yuno looked at the remaining hole then raised her head again to see Yong-ho.
"But Your Majesty, I cannot be your subordinate spirit. My soul has been contaminated with the power of the celestial world like Sitri."
That was why she stiffened her expression when she heard about Sitri. Yuno knew better than anyone how serious it was to have one's soul contaminated by the power of the celestial world.
"The Labyrinth of Greed and the Godly Energy of Mammon are based on Mammon's 12 Spirits. So, if you want to bring out the power of both completely, you must have all the 12 Spirits first."
Yong-ho currently has ten of them.
He started off with Catalina and Eligos. Skull was his first subordinate spirit.
Ophelia and Tigrius devoted themselves to Yong-ho when he was in the process of occupying the unclaimed land in the south.
As Yong-ho's companion, Kaiwan laid the foundation for the Mammon family to stand tall.
As Mammon's former deputies, Gusion and Scathach pledged their loyalty to Yong-ho.
Samael dedicated her body and soul to Yong-ho to get even with the King of Pride and the three directors of the Dungeon Market who destroyed her dungeon as well as her subordinate spirits.
Aamon, the magic spear of the red lotus, had been with Yong-ho anywhere.
Now, the only one of Mammon's 12 Spirits that Yong-ho had to obtain was Richard, who had mighty combat power comparable to that of Gusion.
"My job is to count the stars in the sky and check out people's relations. It seems that the person who is fit to inherit the power of love is already hovering around Your Majesty, King of Greed. I can feel your bondage with her."
Catalina quickly looked at Kaiwan, but Kaiwan nodded with a sigh because she could figure out who Yuno was referring to.
'I am wondering if he can really make her his subordinate spirits.'
Catalina, who was Elune's reincarnation, inherited her power, "justice."
Kaiwan herself inherited Magnadon's power—passion—while Ophelia took Asclepius's "honor" as her strength. Skull and Tigrius chose 'Death' and 'Harmony' that best suited them.
Scathach and Gusion possessed "life" and "courage," respectively, and Richard's strength was "trust."
Since Samael inherited Baruna's "creation," what was left for possession was Justina's "patience" and Yuno's "love".
It wasn't yet decided whether Eligos would inherit patience or love, but no matter how much Yong-ho thought about it, love was not suitable for him.
Kaiwan connected love with Dritarastra, the Queen of Fury. To her chagrin, she felt it was a perfect match for the Queen of Fury.
If Kaiwan could put aside her own ego and private feelings, she would welcome with open arms Yong-ho having the Queen of Fury as his subordinate spirit.
In that case, Yong-ho would be able to add the power of the queen in addition to the Sin of Fury.
'But is it really possible?'
The Queen of Fury was the head of the eight clans in her territory. There were countless people who trusted and followed her there.
As the name suggested, a subordinate spirit was literally subordinate to its owner. Because of this, such a being was supposed to dedicate not only his or her body and soul but also their lives to the master. In the case of Kaiwan, she offered to be his subordinate spirit. Others in her position would not have become his subordinate spirit even at the risk of their lives.
If the Queen of Fury became Yong-ho's subordinate spirit, it would mean that the entire people of the eight clans would also belong to him. Could the Queen of Fury, head of the eight clans, make such a decision? No matter how much she liked Yong-ho, that was something possible and something impossible in the demon world.
Of course, there was one variable. It was the King of Pride.
If not only the eight clans but also the whole southern land would be in danger of being taken over by the King of Pride, who the King of Violence even described as the Demon God, the queen might change her mind. Of course, it could happen only under the worst scenario.
Yong-ho thought there was something lacking. He needed some more to make the queen his subordinate spirit.
Kaiwan, who also had a lot on her mind at the moment, frowned.
Yong-ho put his hand on Kaiwan's shoulder and said, "Let's do what we can do now."
"Uh? What is it?"
Instead of answering, Yong-ho ordered Lucia, staring into the air.
"Lucia, please register Yuno as a general spirit first."
[Okay, Master.]
Lucia immediately started registering Yuno as a general spirit. Unlike the subordinate spirit, being registered as a general spirit didn't need to connect his or her soul to their master, so Yuno did not reject the registration. Moreover, she needed to be registered at least as a general spirit in order to leave the mansion where she was staying, just like Justina did.
Yong-ho then looked at the ceiling and floor. Upstairs was the last one of Mammon's 12 Spirits, Richard in Leo, and below were the 12th floor of the Labyrinth of Greed and the 13th floor, the last one. Either way, there was no reason for him to delay things anymore.
"Catalina, choose it," said Kaiwan cheerfully on purpose.
Catalina erected her tail. She pouted her lips and pointed at the ceiling.
Yong-ho respected Catalina's wishes.
***
Many things changed before and after the death of the King of Violence.
The forces under the command of the King of Pride fought a fake war with the forces of the King of Envy no longer.
The kingdoms of the demon world could survive because they had a strong central point called "king." After realizing that the King of Envy was killed, those masters under his command didn't resist anymore. Just like the masters under the command of the King of Gluttony did, they gave up their loyalty to the late king and joined the forces of the King of Pride.
The forces of the King of Lust, who had remained silent for a long time, finally revealed himself in the demon world. In addition to the Succubus and Incubus, several witches and lustful demons who organized and participated in Sabat formed the main pillar of his forces. And those dungeon monsters and beasts, who had been seduced by the forces of Lust, posed themselves as the vanguards.
Although the forces of the King of Gluttony suffered great damages by Yong-ho and his party's ambush, their power could not be ignored. Among the three masters who surrendered to the King of Pride, the two surviving masters—the third was killed by Samael—gave up not only the dungeons destroyed by the surprise attack of the Mammon family but also the whole southern territory adjacent to its unclaimed area. Then they gathered all their troops in the north and formed a solid alliance with the forces of the King of Lust.
The King of Pride and the King of Lust were nowhere to be seen. However, the movement of their forces suggested that the two kings were still up and running. Even the Dungen Market openly supported the King of Pride.
As the forces in the north moved, so did their counterparts in the south. They moved their troops at the same time as if the cogs were meshing together.
The forces of the Queen of Fury, which destroyed all distribution channels of the Dungeon Market in the queen's territory, gathered at the border to confront the forces of the King of Lust and the King of Gluttony. The Dragon Legion that flew from the west also joined the queen's forces.
It seemed like a great war would happen anytime soon. It was terrible tension and tranquility that dominated the borders that the Queen of Fury, the King of Gluttony, the King of Lust, and the King of Envy shared with each other.
On the fourth day after the death of the King of Violence, one of the eight-clan reconnaissance units from the Karvinka clan lost contact with the Queen of Fury.
Since they were operating in the territory of the King of Pride, it wasn't unusual to lose contact with them anytime. Because of this, the eight clans mourned the death of the reconnaissance unit but did not feel strange about their death.
A small village on the periphery of the King of Gluttony's territory disappeared. Since everyone focused on the border areas, very few people noticed that the village had disappeared. Even those who noticed it were not interested anymore. They just thought it was only one of the many damages caused by the Mamon family's surprise attack.
Several wanderers disappeared from the west of the unclaimed land destroyed by Embrio. Since they were literally wanderers, no one knew when and how they disappeared.
Rather, it was not known at all that they disappeared.
The Green Dragon, Caidelion, shuddered. Though he tried to scream as hard as he could, all he could do after squeezing his voice was just murmuring.
He was still very young, but he was a dragon. Since he changed to his original body, he was a dozen meters long.
However, Caidelion couldn't fly or kick off the ground. At that moment, a huge, white, glowing hand gripped Caidelion's neck and did not let go of it.
It was a bizarre scene. Although he twisted his body in the air, it was tightly held by the huge arm. One huge arm was filling the twist in the air. It was not known what was beyond the twist. But what was clear was that the being beyond the twist wanted to come over this way.
Caidelion felt instinctively that it wasn't just physical force that pressed him. His body and soul were being destroyed by the force that squeezed his neck.
Caidelion, who had been struggling for a long time, eventually closed his eyes and drooped.
He didn't move anymore.
The twist that was rotating while creating cracks in the air now diminished. The shining being beyond the twist, which struggled to increase the twist even a little more, soon withdrew the huge arm as if it gave up.
The Green Dragon, Caidelion, disappeared with the huge arm. And his extinction, just like other extinctions occurring simultaneously throughout the demon world, was not known to others.
The twist has disappeared. The passage between the worlds that was opened for a while was closed, and another passage was opened from a distance.
That number was still low. However, the speed at which the passage opened became slightly faster. A greater twist occurred.
Chill wind from the north blew hard. At the moment when the South and the North started the war, some kind of erosion began in an invisible place.
