Dungeon Maker

The white-haired dark elf moved too fast. Moreover, she always stayed with the head of the Mammon family as if she was his escort knight.

The red beast and wild animal always paired to attack the enemy. As they moved in sync with each other, it was difficult to catch only one of them.

The wizard that dismantled the traps did not go forward. Like the dark elf girl, he also did not distance himself from the master of the Mammon family.

The Skeleton Knight was also threatening. The essence of the undead with the energy of death could not be absorbed in the usual way. So, given the priorities, it was the last one.

In terms of elimination of the enemy, what was left now was the gray-haired girl. Apart from it, there were many more reasons to single out the girl with gray hair.

She always took the lead in the attack. Because of the way she attacked splendidly in many ways, she often distanced herself from other dungeon spirits. Besides, her mana was powerful. If one ate it, one could expect a significant increase in horsepower.

Stravadi once again communicated with the souls of the dungeon.

He looked straight ahead and activated his power.

He jumped through space.

***

"Combination magic! Gust of Ice!"

The fierce wind caused by Tigrius struck low on the floor. It pushed away not only the energy of dark green poison that leaked out of the wall but also froze the whole thing.

Eligos and Ophelia ran around side by side. Although the gathering place was quite spacious, it was a disaster for Stravadi's dungeon spirits because it was indoors. They could not escape anywhere from the beasts running wild to attack them right before their eyes.

Yong-ho stood in the rear of the gathering area and watched his dungeon spirits fight. He was refraining himself from trying to do anything other than finding the right passage with the power of greed. He needed to save his energy to confront Stravadi and Sargatanas, who were likely to exist in the deepest part of this dungeon.

Catalina, too, did not get into the fight for the same reason. Skull was also on standby in the rear, just commanding his unit.

Among the dungeon spirits of the Mammon family, only three were currently actively fighting: Eligos, Ophelia, and Kaiwan. And in fact, it was difficult to say that even they were doing their best.

"Hey, make my day! Come on if you dare!"

Shouting loudly, Kaiwan wielded her whip sword. The sword, which was only stretched long enough to reach the ceiling of the gathering place, tore everything caught in its blade. It was safe to say that the blade was like a whirlpool.

While the terrible massacre was going on, Stravadi's special force didn't lose their fighting spirit. Since they went through repeated brainwashing, they were never afraid of death.

They willingly sacrificed themselves to inflict any damage to the dungeon spirits of the House of Mammon

A series of big explosions continued here and there in the gathering area. It was suicide bombing by Stravadi's special force.

Eligos and Ophelia, who were fighting the special force in close range, hurriedly moved their hands and feet to protect themselves from the explosion. Tigrius, once again, caused a strong wind to push out the flames and heat of the explosion.

Kaiwan was also caught in the explosion. She wasn't injured a bit because she quickly opened the barrier of distortion, but she couldn't help it when her vision was instantly blocked at the explosion.

Kaiwan momentarily hung her sword loose to catch her breath. She waited for the dust ahead to scatter at the wind caused by Tigrius.

Right at that moment, she breathed out long, Catalina yelled at her suddenly like lightning.

"Kaiwan!"

It was because she sensed that something threatening was approaching Kaiwan.

However, her warning rather backfired. The moment Kaiwan instinctively looked back at Catalina, her blind spot became even bigger. After all, she allowed the opponent to attack her.

Stravadi jumped over space. At the moment Kaiwan and Catalina's eyes crossed, he already landed behind Kaiwan's back. As soon as he snatched her waist, he opened up his mana.

It was a silent roar. It resonated throughout the whole gathering place. Stravadi's harsh mana suppressed Kaiwan.

"Stravadi!" Yong-ho yelled.

Catalina hit the ground. Kaiwan looked at Stravadi's arms around her waist.

And Stravadi also looked at the point where he started. Then he activated the power of jump!

The power of jump was not invincible. Although he could jump as long as 600 meters, he had a decisive weakness—the place within his vision. He could only make a space jump only toward that place.

Catalina's moonlight sword cut through the air. Stravadi, who appeared from the exit of the gathering point, activated his power in succession without delay. By changing the dungeon terrain through the soul of the dungeon, he secured his own vision while blocking the Mammon forces' vision.

He jumped through space exactly seven times.

When his space leap was over, Stravadi was standing at the last gathering point on the third floor in the basement. Kaiwan, who was exposed to his space leap without any consideration, felt dizzy severely.

And he made the eighth space leap. Stravadi appeared four meters away from the place where Kaiwan twisted and swung her whip sword. Stravadi saw Kaiwan who turned lightly and crashed on the floor according to the law of gravity. He immediately came up with the next move.

The souls of the dungeon injected mana into the gathering place. Then, a powerful curse of magic was activated from the gathering place. The four knights, who had already arrived and waited in advance, also strengthened the power of the curse by activating their own magic techniques.

It was the most basic, and therefore the most effective curse of weakening the opponent.

Kaiwan shuddered. Although she thought she had to open up her mana to release the curse, her mind had a way of its own. It was because the poison of Nagaraja spread all over her body. Perhaps, she was poisoned when Stravadi held her back. Moreover, Stravadi didn't put Kaiwan down anywhere. It was no exaggeration to say that the spot where she fell was a poison pool.

Tall and skinny, Stravadi was a man like a snake. With an intelligent-looking face underneath a brownish blonde, he made a light smile for the first time since the dungeon battle began.

All five horns protruding above his ears trembled slightly. His overwhelming mana that he increased dramatically by taking the essence of Sargatanas filled the inside of the gathering area.

Kaiwan bit her lips. She managed to open her horns then immediately activated the power of distortion. As if a turtle was hiding in a house, she protected her entire body with a hemispherical shield of distortion. It seemed that she was determined to give up fighting and stick it out.

Stravadi clicked his tongue and shook his head. He thought her action was truly useless.

He felt that her action could buy her only a little time. And he could tear the weakened shield apart with his powerful mana.

"Let me devour you, b*tch."

Instead of cursing at him, Kaiwan kept concentrating. She was not sure how many times she would be able to withstand Stravadi's attack, but she needed to buy some time by all means. Stravadi drew a small sword and struck the shield of distortion with all his power from the beginning.

Exactly three times, Kaiwan vomited blood with a painful groan because the shield of distortion that she barely maintained was broken. Nagaraja's poison injured her intestines.

Stravadi acted rationally. He wasn't going to waste his time harassing Kaiwan needlessly.

He trampled all over her abdomen with his shoes on. After fixing her so that she could not move, he aimed at her chest with his sword.

At that moment, the ceiling exploded.

The flow of mana flowing in the gathering ground was cut off. The curse was destroyed.

The four knights screamed in horror, looking at the broken ceiling.

Stravadi also turned around. He couldn't stand it anymore.

He became irrational and shouted at the opponent in anger, "What the heck happened!? How could you chase me like this!? How!?"

The gathering site was supposed to block the flow of his mana from leaking outside.

And it was impossible for Yong-ho's forces to chase him with the mana released from his dungeon spirits.

Did he find out the passage? It was also impossible. It wasn't through the proper path that they moved from the basement on the second floor to the 3rd floor. Obviously, they could do it by reversely using Stravadi's own power to leap to a space in a strange place.

But how could they chase him and in such a short time at that?!

Yong-ho looked ahead before answering. The smoke of greed, tied in only one strand, engulfed Kaiwan in the gathering place densely. Kaiwan smiled in pain, and Yong-ho spoke a little brazenly, "Well, it's because she is mine."

"What did you say?" Stravadi asked back blankly.

Instead of answering, Yong-ho stretched out his right hand into the air.

Then he grabbed Aamon, the magic spear of the red lotus.

He instinctively moved on to the next step. The moment the spear of flames appeared in the air, Stravadi left the place by exercising his power. It was the right decision. The sword of a dark elf girl, not the master of the Mammon family, flew like a beam of light and pierced the air.

Stravadi, who jumped to the end of the room at once, summoned the four knights through ritual, not words. Armed with full plate armor, the four knights quickly gathered next to Stravadi and prepared for defense against her attack.

The dark elf girl held the gray-haired girl in her arms and left the place. And their void was instantly filled by the master of the Mammon family and his two dungeon spirits, namely the red beast and the wild animal.

It happened in a few seconds. Stravadi tried to recover his reason. He suppressed his emotions and thought about this attack.

There was only one answer.

"Stop the dungeon spirits of the House of Mammon."

He spoke low. In fact, he made the decision from the moment he decided to have it out with the House of Mammon at the dungeon battle. Although the battle unfolded very differently from what he had intended in the first place, he didn't care because what mattered to him was the results he had in mind.

The dungeon was Stravadi's own territory. The souls of the dungeon informed him about the situation around it. Not all of the dungeon spirits of the Mammon family came here for the fight.

The wizard and the skeleton knights had yet to arrive at this room. Only the red beast and the wild animal stood by the master of the House of Mammon. The dark elf girl, presumed to be his escort knight, was moving toward the wizard and the skeleton knights with the severely injured gray-haired girl.

The situation wasn't bad for Stravadi. The souls of the dungeon issued an alarm urgently. All the remaining spirits in the dungeon were about to gather here.
