Chapter 175 King of the Unclaimed Land 1

The fight in the northern area was unfolding differently from what the King of Fury expected.

The King of Fury initially thought that the fight in the north would soon escalate into a great war.

But it was not. The King of Pride attacked slowly and steadily as if the only kings in the world were himself and the King of Envy. He felt like he was engaged in a one-on-one duel with the King of Envy without the third party.

The King of Lust, whose territory faced the borders with the territory of the King of Envy, did not move in the harem at all while the two kings were fighting each other. He did not help the King of Envy to repel the King of Pride, nor did he ambush the King of Envy who was in a head-to-head battle with the King of Pride.

The King of Fury, who led his troops and camped on the northern borders, felt frustrated. As a king with pacifist leanings, she obviously did not want a world war. But it didn’t mean that she was satisfied with the current situation.

Although the King of Fury was often called a simplistic and ignorant warmonger, she was by no means a fool or a madman. She was just a little more naive and simple than the other kings.

The King of Fury soon understood that the northern area was like an active volcano that didn’t erupt yet, for she realized why the King of Gluttony was watching the fight as an onlooker, aside from the King of Lust. When she found out the reason, she thought it was really unpleasant.

“Well, I’m going to intervene only after they have been exhausted.”

The King of Fury always thought of the best scenario. And the ‘best’ one she thought of was that the war in the north itself fizzled out at the beginning. That would be the least damaging to all.

But other kings differed on this. That was why they regarded the King of Fury as a foolish king rather than a pacifist.

According to their logic, what was important was not to reduce the damage. It didn’t matter whether it was the King of Pride or the King of Envy. What they wanted was to stop any king from dominantly accumulating any one of the three, namely essence, Godly Energy, and sin.

The ‘damage’ unrelated to this was rather an advantage to them. In other words, the damage, in this case, was that of the King of Pride and the King of Envy, not the King of Gluttony himself.

Because of this, they didn’t care even if the King of Pride overpowered the King of Envy. They would welcome it with open arms if the King of Envy was unilaterally damaged and his force collapsed.

So, the King of Fury thought that now was not the time to intervene. There was nothing she would gain by intervening to stop the fight. It was only when their fight was almost at an end that she would decide to intervene.

The King of Pride might have found out her intention. The most dangerous moment would be when he beheaded the King of Envy and had everything. In that case, all the other kings would certainly go after the King of Pride.

‘Or if he enlists the help of the King of Envy.’

And if he succeeded, there would break out a great war at that moment. It would be a war between the king, who took two Godly Energies and sin, and the other kings.

The King of Gluttony was confident that he knew quite well about the King of Fury.

As someone who liked to go to any battlefield, she was so straightforward and simple-minded.

Although there were rumors that she was a warmonger, knowledgeable people knew that she had a tough time working for her people, not for her own interests.

‘What bothers me is the King of Lust and the King of Violence.’

These two kings would be her prime competitors when the fight between the King of Pride and the King of Envy came to a head.

‘It’s going to be incredibly bloody.’

The King of Gluttony smiled in satisfaction. It was not because of the looming war.

It was because of a letter politely delivered by the half-naked Afsaras, one of the beauties of the King of Gluttony.

The southern unclaimed land was unified. However, other kings couldn’t pay attention to the southern land since they cared about the northern territory alone. They couldn’t afford to care about the southern land that had been devastated because of Embrio’s war. Above all, it had been abandoned for a long time since the time of Mammon.

There were no competitors there, so they didn’t need to fight each other.

‘The only thing I have to do is to check it out once last time.’

And if he got the result he wanted, they would see what would happen when the competition started.

They would witness the appearance of a great king who has acquired more than two sins for the first time since Mammon, the King of Greed.

The King of Gluttony felt a strong appetite. He beckoned to Afsaras. She hastily rang the bell and prepared dinner for the hungry king.

“Hey, that’s mine.”

Seated on a long sofa, Kaiwan shouted, behaving like a snub. As if she felt her message didn’t get understood by the other party, she spoke again, changing the way she sat, and in the end, she burst into laughter.

“It’s mine, you know. Oh my gosh! Yes, that’s right. I’m Yong-ho’s, Yong-ho’s, Yong-ho’s!”

It’s been one day since they smashed Stravadi. Kaiwan was excited all day long after she was detoxified from Nagaraja’s poison thanks to the special remedy that Scathach had given her before she left for the fight.

“I wish everyone here had seen Yong-ho’s face at that time. He was a man of perfect flames, you know. Anyway, I’m Yong-ho’s.”

Catalina, who was sitting next to her forcibly, pursed up her lips at her repetition of the same words. She let her ears droop several times and tried to balk, though timidly.

“Well, I’m also Yong-ho’s. Don’t you know it?”

At that moment, everybody was silent. Although Catalina tried to assert herself as brazenly as possible, she puckered her lips again when Kaiwan stopped smiling and stared at her. Blushing, Catalina let her ears and shoulders droop at the same time.

Kaiwan glanced at her quietly then stretched out her hand. She not only pinched Catalina’s cheeks but also hugged her suddenly.

“Oh my gosh! So what, my sister? What do I do about it now? You’re so cute.”

As always, Catalina was at a loss about her unexpected reaction, but Kaiwan didn’t care and laughed a lot, pulling even her tail.

“Yes, you and I are Yong-ho’s. Everything here is all his, right?”

Kaiwan asked Catalina, who was struggling to get out of her arms. Watching them quietly, Salami shook its head, while lying face down. Obviously, Salami thought about something weird. Ophelia shook her head, but with a different nuance from Salami’s. She really could not believe that this cheerful woman before her eyes was the former female ruler, Kaiwan, that her father Endelyon used to mention, the noble and beautiful woman who was like a thorny rose.

Smiling apologetically at Catalina who signaled to her for help, Ophelia took her gaze from her and looked at her master who was absorbed into something.

[Do you know you’re turning up your mouth now?]

[No way… I wonder if you really think you were cool like the dungeon spirit Kaiwan said when you…]

Lucia, who took control of Stravadi’s dungeon, spoke in a fully assumed voice. Again, Yong-ho ignored her message lightly and displaced Stravadi’s dungeon information in the air by teasing his finger.

[It’s a really big and complex dungeon.]

[It has a long history, but it seems that it has been greatly expanded and renovated recently.]

Yong-ho nodded. As Lucia said, it was a complex dungeon that made him feel dizzy just by looking at it. Without the power of greed, he would have wandered for several days on the first floor, let alone the third floor in the basement.

[In my personal opinion, it’s a little regrettable to destroy it.]

[There are many good facilities inside.]

Just like the property of a family that built up wealth for a long time, Stravadi’s dungeon was well built. Besides, there were several facilities such as the ‘Advanced Training Center for the Masters’, the ‘Intermediate Magic Lab’, and the ‘Reagent Manufacturing Center’ that the House of Mammon didn’t have.

The dungeon whose heart was destroyed was supposed to perish.

The moment Yong-ho took its essence to make Lucia grow, this huge dungeon would be thrown into the fate of inevitable death.

Because of this, Yong-ho also thought it was regrettable to take it. He really wanted to make this dungeon the forward base of the eastern branch of the House of Mammon because it was too good to be compared with the small dungeons that he had used as forward bases.

But he had no other choice. Actually, one of the main reasons for his expedition to the eastern area was because he wanted to make Lucia grow. At the same time, he couldn’t give up the essence of this dungeon, which was much more valuable than a mix of a few small and medium-sized dungeons.

‘I can make Lucia grow anyway.’

When Lucia grew, he could obtain various facilities in the Labyrinth of Greed. Given that the facilities that he could newly install would also increase, it would soon become a big dungeon like this one.

‘Okay, let me focus on laying the firm foundation for the future dungeon now.’

The reason he bothered to occupy Stravadi’s dungeon was not just for viewing or reference.

His main purpose was to collect all kinds of treasures hidden in his dungeon.
