Chapter 260 Clash between King of Violence and King of Pride 5
Although the King of Pride devastated the House of Mammon and its Labyrinth of Greed, he couldn't feel happy at all. It was just meaningless for him to trample on the Mammon family without Mammon.
He had to surpass Mammon. He thought he had only one way to overcome Mammon who was already dead, no matter how hard he pondered over it.
The royal family of the King of Pride had changed since the day Mammon, the King of Greed, died. The King of Pride, or the Sin of Pride, was not satisfied with simply acquiring a new body.
Like the King of Lust said, Mammon was something like a miracle. It was a monster born by sheer coincidence.
The King of Pride wanted to recreate the monster. Just like farmers improved their crops and hunters worked hard to raise hounds and falcons suitable for hunting, he continued to improve his descendants.
To the King of Pride who valued only himself, his descendants were nothing more than tools that he would throw away after using them. He badly treated those who inherited his blood as if they were a dog or a pig, focusing solely on creating beings with a stronger DNA.
As a result, the generations of his descendants changed so quickly over a long period of time. People thought the number of the previous kings of pride who ruled the northern area over the past one thousand years was around five at most, but it was not true. There were hundreds of experimental beings during the intervening years of the former King of Pride that Bifronz said he saw directly, and the current King of Pride.
And he finally created a superb being that surpassed Mammon's qualities and potential, which could be called a perfect fit for the king.
The King of Pride faced the reality now. While the King of Violence was falling down, he was staring at the King of Pride squarely. Looking down at the King of Violence, he tightened his arm, holding the Godly Energy of Pride.
The Sin of Pride dwelled in his soul. The power of the demon king also dwelled in his soul.
The King of Pride could rule the soul as well as the body of his descendants. Because of this, he always had two powers.
He kept picking various forms of power until he finally chose the best one.
The demon king of magic. Its power was simple, clear, and best.
All the seven horns that sprouted on the king's head disappeared.
He cultivated the power over a thousand years, to which the power of the King of Envy was added now. Thus, his power was now sublimated into that of a god.
Eight horns of light sprouted on his head instantly.
Besides, six wings of light spread behind the back of the King of Pride.
A huge halo formed over his head.
It was truly powerful like a god's power.
So, the King of Pride was convinced that he was equal to Mammon of yesteryear. Rather, he surpassed Mammon and became the strongest being in the history of the demon world.
The King of Pride looked at the King of Violence's eyes. Hoping that his huge eyes would be filled with fear and despair, he stabbed into the air with the Godly Energy of Pride. Then a sword of light, whose length would exceed 100 meters, was formed in the air. A giant in the shape of a black smoke grasped the sword of light, and it threw the King of Violence on the ground after piercing him with the sword.
Now, this was his plan of action. First, he would kill the King of Violence and take away his Godly Energy of Greed as well as the dragon heart of this monster who was the most powerful dragon in the history of the demon world. Then he would kill all the remaining kings and take away their sins, so he can put together all the seven Godly Energies as well as the Seven Deadly Sins except for the Sin of Greed. Finally, he would rise to the throne of the true Demon God. After that, he would close the door of the celestial world that showed signs of reopening. Or he would fling it open and subdue the celestial world with the power of the Demon God.
If his action plan were realized, he would surpass Mammon beyond comparison. All of Mammon's achievements would look trifling, compared with the true Demon God's great achievements.
The King of Violence who was thrown on the ground saw the King of Pride indulging in daydreaming like that. He made up his mind at the moment he, who had remained only as an observer of the demon world for a long time, witnessed the enormous mana being released by the King of Pride's eight horns and his madness.
[My subordinate spirits, fight with me until the end!]
His voice reached all the forces under his command. It was the king's order, and they had no power to reject his order. The King of Violence became a tyrant for the first time since he ascended to the throne and squeezed out the power of his subordinates.
This land was the dungeon of the King of Violence. But the king's forces confronting their opponents under the command of the King of Pride collapsed helplessly. Those who fell to the ground were not just the races of Dark Elf or Orcs. Dragon soldiers and other dungeon warriors who were empowered by the King of Violence also collapsed, let alone the descendants of the King of Violence who were fighting in the sky.
The power of the dungeon was united together. After swallowing the power of all the spirits of the dungeon, the power was delivered to the King of Violence, the owner of the dungeon. The King of Pride felt that power, too.
The King of Violence laughed fiercely. He soared in the sky, ignoring the sword of light that pierced the middle of his back. The sword of light split his body and caused tremendous pain, but he ignored it.
The King of Violence flapped his wings. The King of Pride hastily pressed down the King of Violence with a gravitational field. But the King of Violence did not stop attacking. He triggered the vortex of mana and disrupted the gravitational field. With the red sky being stained with blood, the two kings narrowed their distance.
The King of Pride swung the Godly Energy of Pride again. A huge sword of light pierced the King of Violence, but he didn't reject it. Hitting against the sword of light with his chest, he further narrowed his distance with the King of Pride.
The power of envy wrapped the King of Pride and became a black giant. But the King of Violence immediately rushed and chewed it hard. His target was only one from the beginning.
Bifronz also realized it. He deactivated the mana with which he was controlling the forces of the Dungeon Market. Then he hastily laid a barrier to protect himself. Abrasax did the same thing.
He could not afford to stay fearful of the dragon army now. He withdrew all the mana directed toward the sky.
The teeth of the King of Violence had cut the black giant. The King of Pride again swung the Godly Energy of Pride inside the black giant.
The sword of light pierced the heart of the King of Violence. The King of Violence no longer delayed. He could easily narrow the distance with the King of Pride and bite the black giant's neck.
The strongest Red Dragon ever.
The power of all the dungeon spirits concentrated on the King of Violence.
All of this exploded at once. It turned into one light and covered the whole world.
***
The commander of the dragon corps, Ancablosa, called "the farthest watcher," stopped flapping his wings because she sensed something unusual.
Although it was taking place far away, she could see what was happening.
The King of Violence's last order was delivered to her.
Instead of heading west, she headed east again.
The king's order was as follows, 'Gather all the dragon armies scattered all over my territory and look for the King of Geed. Then help him block the worst Demon God because only the King of Greed can save the demon world again.'
Ancablosa showed no tears. Like a strong dragon, she thought of revenge. She headed east at full speed.
***
The Queen of Fury, who was crying over the tragedy that happened at the Temple of the eight clans while she was absent, turned her head before she knew it. She began to shed tears again, although her eyes were swollen because of her crying too much.
She could not know the reason exactly, but her heart ached a lot.
She grabbed her chest.
***
Sitri finally recovered and stood up, supported by Samael. The King of Violence was her contractor. That was why she could learn what had happened to the King of Violence.
She saw how the King of Violence was killed during his last moment. He left behind a mental message for her.
She clenched her teeth, and made up her mind like the King of Violence did.
***
The King of Violence's hideout, Rare, was now gone. His vast dungeon disappeared without leaving behind a handful of ashes. It was as if the God who created the world took away part of the western area.
The short time that the King of Violence needed to narrow his distance with the King of Pride.
During that short span of time, the king conveyed his last order to the dragon corps and a mental message for Sitri.
It was the land that determined the fate of the demon world a thousand years ago.
It was the land where Sitri, the Queen of Sloth, stood beside the King of Greed until his last moment. It was the land where the grave of Mammon, the great King of Greed, was located, which only Sitri and the King of Violence knew.
The Godly Energy of Greed located there like a tombstone wriggled. The Godly Energy of Greed, which the King of Violence had placed there in honor of Mammon, soared into the air. It was the last secret weapon of the King of Violence. The Godly Energy of Greed soared into the air and raced toward its other half.
