Dungeon Maker

Chapter 119: Demon King of Distortion (4)

“He’s being fooled by her.”

Watching their fight silently for some time, Gusion spoke. The battle went on as he expected.

Objectively, Kaiwan had more disadvantages than Yong-ho.

Although she had four horns as he did, the quality and quantity of her mana were different.

Yong-ho had almost five horns, while Kaiwan just managed to get four.

The same was true for their physical strength and durability. In all respects, Yong-ho’s body went through a total change, so it was superior to hers in every respect.

Yong-ho also surpassed her in the ability to detect mana. Beyond detecting it, he even discerned it. Moreover, he freely used more than two attributes, while she could use only one attribute. Above all, she could not discern mana as he did.

Namely, he was superior to her in terms of mana, comprehensive physical performance, and sense. The only advantage she had over him was her talent for fighting. But she was stronger.

Fighting was not about comparing the same things. Fighting was about defeating the opponent with one’s comparative advantage.

Kaiwan was slightly faster than Yong-ho.

For more than a few decades, he honed her skills in the arena.

She had far superior swordsmanship than him.

These three factors were more than enough for her win.

She would teach him what ‘defeat’ was.

[But he is expecting to defeat her.]

Aamon spoke quietly. Gusion turned to Aamon and smiled bitterly. He wanted Yong-ho to learn from defeat. He wanted Yong-ho to reflect on his own shortcomings on the occasion of this fighting.

But on one hand, Gusion expected Yong-ho to overcome this ordeal.

He wanted Yong-ho to break through the 10th floor without any defeat for the first time in the opening of the arena by defeating her.

“Can he defeat her?” Asked Gusion.

Instead of replying right away, Aamon sparked red flames. He looked at the arena.

The fighting was going on.

[Maybe he will. He should surely.]

Gusion also looked at the arena. He opened his eyes wide at the spectacular scene there and stood up in no time.

“That’s why I like my little master!”

Fortunately, Yong-ho couldn’t hear it. That was why Gusion laughed louder.

He swung his clenched fist in the air.

Aamon smiled quietly then he watched Yong-ho.

<hr />

The moment Gusion turned his head, Kaiwan, who hit Yong-ho multiple times, was about to step back to increase the distance between them.

Kaiwan hit the ground in succession. She wanted to distract his gaze with her exceedingly speedy jump.

Her own attack was effective. She could block his long-range attack with the power of distortion. In terms of short-range fighting, she was much more advantageous.

If she continued to fight on like this, she could defeat him overwhelmingly.

What she told him first was sincere. She really appreciated his consideration.

Since she was so grateful to him, she wanted to show her skills fully.

Gusion told her to teach him about defeat, saying it would make him stronger, and that it would help him truly stand tall as the King of Greed.

Kaiwan agreed. That was why she activated her mana more ferociously. Strong mana radiated from her four horns.

This time, she planned to attack him from behind. This time, she wanted to deal a fatal blow by breaking his legs.

But she did not want to inflict severe pain on him. She wanted to finish the fighting as soon as possible.

However, Yong-ho had no intention of giving up so easily.

The waves of the green flames swept over Kaiwan once again, who was about to attack him from behind. Moreover, this time, it was different from the previous one. She thought the green flames would engulf her from the front, but bigger waves of flames swept her from overhead.

It was like a tsunami—a huge attack that she could not avoid nor distort.

Kaiwan clenched her teeth. She wrapped the power of distortion around her whole body.

With the shield of space, she blocked his attack from all directions except the floor.

The green flames covered the barrier of distortion. They continued to burn without fading.

As if to block Kaiwan’s movement, his mana kept pouring down from above.

It was definitely a huge power. Kaiwan could do nothing except sticking it out with the barrier of distortion.

But his attack was relentless. No matter how strong his mana was, it was too excessive.

If this fighting would end up as a war of attrition, it would be Yong-ho, not Kaiwai, who would be defeated.

How long could he keep that waterfall of flames? A dozen or two seconds at most? Kaiwan curled up her body so as to reduce her mana by reducing the barrier of distortion.

Fighting was about striking the opponent with one’s strength.

However, Yong-ho made the wrong move.

‘This is better for him.’

Kaiwan didn’t need to torment him anymore. All she had to do was to wait until he collapsed after using up his mana.

But her assumption crumbled in just a few seconds.

‘What the heck is this?’

She raised her head then hugged her shoulders before she knew it.

Everybody was tense. The blood of Mammon, the King of Greed, flowing through her body, shouted wildly.

The waves of the green flames were still robust. Kaiwan could not dare to release the power of distortion. She could not even see something green beyond her eyes.

A few seconds passed again, and Kaiwan gulped.

She could clearly feel that Yong-ho’s mana was getting stronger.

Even though he was pouring out his mana like crazy, his strength grew stronger and stronger.

‘What the hell is happening outside?!’

An unknown fear seized Kaiwan. She couldn’t stand it anymore.

This time, it was Kaiwan’s turn to go the extra mile.

Kaiwan didn’t save her mana. Faced with the overwhelming waves of the green flames, she solidified the barrier of distortion. Then she launched herself to cut through the waves of the green flames.

During that short span of time, Kaiwan ran into the gap in the waterfall of the green flames that seemed to close anytime soon. She managed to get out of it and looked at him.

And she understood what he had done and why he bound her with the waterfall of green flames!

Green eyes flashed from his eyes. Unlike his right hand, which he extended as if to control the waterfall of green flames, he placed his left hand on his chest.

What he activated was the power of evolution.

And what he had done for several seconds when she was held in the waterfall of green flames was the evolution of mana specialization.

It was crazy.

He had never used the power of evolution in the midst of fully pouring out mana.

He should not have done it in front of his enemy.

Nonetheless, he did.

He had a duel with Tigrius. He had fighting experiences while conquering the 5th to 9th floor, and now he was fighting Kaiwan.

During the battle, his evolution EXP reached the maximum. It wasn’t the first time.

Normally, he would have put it off after the battle.

He knew how to fight. He hit the opponent’s strength with his own strength.

By using that skill, he could survive until now. He continued to defeat his opponents, who were much stronger than him objectively.

It was his mana that made him superior to Kaiwan. However, he could not defeat her with his current mana.

What should he do now?

The answer was simple.

He needed to make his strength more mighty and surpass her in terms of mana.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Yong-ho roared. At that moment, the entire arena was shaken once again. Powerful mana swirled around him.

The waterfall of the green flames disappeared, but no one could notice it because he was now showing a more powerful strength.

A fifth horn sprouted through his forehead. The moment he overcame the wall of distortion, he released mana completely different from the previous one.

Moreover, he didn’t stop there. Another roar rang from the barrier surrounding the arena. Catalina screamed in pain and joy, clutching her chest.

A fourth horn sprouted over Catalina’s ears. The moment Yong-ho became stronger, Catalina, the dungeon spirit, also overcame the barrier, which once again reinforced him!

Kaiwan couldn’t hesitate anymore. Rather than overwhelmed, she rushed forward courageously as if she could not be defeated.

But he couldn’t reach her. Although he desperately wielded his sword, he was blocked by the shield of distortion. The green flames reinforced by Catalina’s black mana encircled Kaiwan in an instant.

Yong-ho gasped for breath. Doing evolution during battle was indeed difficult. But he smiled. Beyond the shield of distortion that started from her left hand, he faced her eyes that became as sharp as those of cats and beasts.

“It’s Round 2. Now it begins!”

Kaiwan couldn’t answer. Yong-ho didn’t care. He concentrated the power of greed in one place and expanded the shield of distortion into a terrifying size!

Kaiwan’s slender body bounced out in an instant. Instead of pursuing her, Yong-ho extended his right hand.

“Catalina!”

In response to his call, her black mana expanded with an explosive momentum.

Looking almost like a giant’s hand, it grabbed Kaiwan.

Kaiwan hastily activated the power of distortion. But it was too late.

By the time she activated the power of distortion, the giant’s hand was already hitting the floor.

“Kuhhukkkk!!”

She had a shock that seemed to break her whole body. However, Yong-ho did not stop there. He did not miss the mana of the wind arising from her left arm. He had the black giant press down on her with his hand and activated the green flames once again.

The green flames were blazing, aided by black mana. The flames reached her in an instant, like a spark burning along a fuse, and swallowed up the mana of the wind that she created hard. After swallowing her who protected himself with the shield of distortion, he beat her body with black mana.

It was literally a brutal attack. Even though he was using Catalina’s mana through Brigada, he still felt it was insufficient.

Obviously, it was a war of attrition. Yong-ho violently roared and swung his right arm once again. Then he struck down Kaiwan several times, who was engulfed with the green flames by the giant’s hands.

However, Kaiwan suffered no wounds thanks to the shield of distortion. But she could do nothing about the shock. When she was struck for the third time and when Yong-ho also felt that he reached his limits, the shield of distortion surrounding her body was broken. It was not because she couldn’t withstand the shock but because she lost all her energy.

Yong-ho hurriedly withdrew his mana. At that moment, he felt tremendous fatigue. Since he used too much mana, his hands and feet were trembling. Although he couldn’t see her, he felt Catalina, gasping for breath in the stands.

However, he moved forward instead of sitting down. Then he approached Kaiwan, who fell on the floor and wiggled.

Kaiwan was on the verge of losing consciousness. Barely holding on, she looked at Yong-ho’s face and smiled a bit. She almost ran out of steam when she swore, “You bad bastard...”

Yong-ho smiled. She passed out with a smile.

Mammon’s mana was formed over her body. He grasped Mammon’s mana with more joy than before. He enjoyed the full thrill of victory.

Right after that, he saw boxes of light floating before his eyes.
