Chapter 226: Scorpio Magnadon (1)
There had been nurous kings since the beginning of the demon world.
Those with the power of the Seven Deadly Sins reigned as kings and established their own kingdoms.
However, no family has succeeded in carrying on the lineage of a “royal family”.
The only exception was ‘the royal family of the King of Pride.’
The reason why they did not create a royal family was simple.
Their Sins were not carried on to their successors. It was also impossible to transfer the Sins in the usual way.
It was highly likely that a family who once possessed the Sin would produce offspring with the power of Sin, but even such a family could not form a royal family.
It would be easier if they killed the owner of the Sin and take away his essence. In that case, they could kill the old king just before his death and inherit his Sin.
It was cruel, but at the sa ti, it was natural. Even in the human world, not the demon world, there were heinous children who killed their parents for money. They could do sothing crueler if they inherited the Sins.
However, the Sins were not inherited that way.
Anyone who had the qualifications of a king could take away the Sins by killing the opponent as if to absorb their essence, but there was no way of knowing if the person had a king’s qualifications. Even if the person who claid to be the successor was not qualified as a king, the one who was old but obviously a king would lose his life for nothing.
There was only one certain way to overco the power of the Sin.
It was possible only when a king killed another king.
In other words, the king who had a Sin should take another king’s Sin by killing him.
Therefore, the royal family was not created because there was no family that could satisfy the condition that the successor already had the Sin.
But the royal family of the King of Pride was different.
The King’s Sin was naturally inherited from generation to generation.
It was highly likely that the first king of Pride, who acquired the Sin of Pride for the first ti, had found so other way.
Maybe the “succession” of the Sin itself was a special ability embedded in the Sin of Pride.
The only royal family in the demon world.
The King of Pride at that ti, the master of the royal family of Pride, looked down on the earth from the highest point under the sky.
Everything was going on smoothly.
The war with the King of Envy was going on well according to his plan. The King of Envy was slowly crumbling, and the King of Lust wasn’t making a move, crouching in his stronghold. In the south, the King of Gluttony, who could not be more vulgar, and the Queen of Fury were busy keeping each other in check.
He didn’t expect that the King of Violence intervened in their fight, but it was not a variable enough to shake his plan.
There existed no King of Greed. The King of Sloth, who disappeared for more than a thousand years, was virtually non-existent.
So, everything went well. There were no significant variables.
“I just feel repugnant.”
It repulsed him for a long ti that the Queen of Fury and the King of Gluttony, who were only negligible in his eyes, were leading a happy life after taking possession of undeserved treasures. Besides, there was one more thing that made him feel displeased.
The abandoned land in the south was unified. Although the unification was not complete, it was only a matter of ti.
The House of Mammon.
A family that once enjoyed glory and fa. However, like most families that produced a king, the family crumbled because it failed to continue its lineage.
He felt repugnant about the fact that a family without the Sin unified the unclaid land in the south. The kings in the south couldn’t attack the unclaid land because they were busy holding them in check.
The King of Pride himself could not attack it either because he was in the north, totally opposite from the south.
But that wasn’t all. There was one fact that made the King of Pride feel anger, not just displeasure.
An alien’s blood was running in the current master of the Mammon family. The King of Pride was not sure which idiot of the Mammon family installed him as their master. The pure blood of the demonic blood was once again disgraced. A negligible master resurrected the failing Mammon family and unified the unclaid southern land.
The King of Pride caught his breath to subdue his anger.
It was only now that the negligible kings were rampant.
Everything was going as the King of Pride planned.
The King of Pride turned his gaze back to the north from the south. He looked at the territory of the King of Envy, which would be his first target of attack.
The Garden of Life was brutally invaded by skeletons and damaged by farming tools here and there, but fortunately, so of it was left intact enough to be called a garden.
On the remaining lawn near the shore of the lake where Scathach’s mansion was located, Yuria slightly lifted her skirt. After politely bowing, she opened her arms wide, watching Scathach sitting in the yard of the mansion over the lake.
“Okay, let’s start.”
Scathach responded with clapping. Yuria turned around with a rather tense look and said to the nearest ones who were lined up behind her back.
“Baduk and dungeon erkat, flip!”
“Wal! Wal!”
“owing! owing!”
The mont Yuria ordered them, Baduk and the baby dungeon erkat, jumped high and sorsaulted into the air.
It wasn’t surprising to see Baduk, with strong muscles, be comparable to an Ogre, jumping more than a few ters and turning it into a sorsault, but the dungeon erkat was different. No matter how light she was, it would have been impossible to jump many tis over her body and tumble around.
Yuria happily watched them doing a sorsault several tis then looked back. She shouted loudly, “White wolf, flip!”
The leader of the wolf herd led by Embrio, which had unusually grey hair, made a sullen expression as if to boycott her order, but eventually, he hit the ground and made a sorsault.
Yuria’s face turned red with excitent. She cried out louder.
“Now, everyone, do it together!”
The grey wolf, the leader of the herd, was turning a sorsault with others. A dozen wolves also jumped high and sorsaulted into the air without any complaints.
Everybody was amazed at a dozen wolves tumbling at the sa ti. Scathach got up from her seat and applauded.
“Great. You’re really doing well. I was impressed with you, sis!”
“Hehehe.”
When Scathach praised her, Yuria smiled shyly and twisted her body a bit as if she was shy. But when they heard the baby dungeon erkat struggling with a moan, Yuria stopped them imdiately.
Lucia, who was watching them doing sorsaults, uttered admiration sowhat differently from others.
[She has such a strong ability to control the crowd.]
[It looks like as a result of repeated evolution, her ability as a Princess Crazy Ant has been sublimated into a monster tar’s talent.]
Monster tar did not an a simple trainer. A monster tar was a trainer who brought out more of their power by empowering monsters.
Just like the ability of the Queen Crazy Ant to rule her colony sublimated into the talent of a monster tar, Yuria’s power was quite strong.
The power of evolution reflected Yong-ho’s unconsciousness. As a result of repeated evolution, Yuria could no longer be called Princess Crazy Ant anymore. It would be impossible for her to beco a queen ant because too many parts of her body had been already ‘humanized.’
However, she acquired a powerful ability to control the crowd instead of becoming a queen ant. If she could use her ability well, she could lead a mighty legion that could not even be compared to her Crazy Ant colony.
[Isn’t she praiseworthy?]
Lucia saw the Garden of Life on the 1st floor and the treasure storage on the 8th floor at the sa ti.
Yong-ho nodded, standing on the 8th floor or on the stairs connecting the 8th and 9th floors.
Like Lucia said, she was praiseworthy. He was suddenly moved, feeling a tug at his heart.
‘Maybe the doting daddy feels the sa way toward his daughter.’
He giggled quickly before he knew it then got things about Yuria out of his mind.
It was ti he had to focus on more important things.
A week passed after his summit eting with the Queen of Fury.
During that period, Yong-ho, who had enough rest as well as training in the arena, headed to the 9th floor with all of his subordinate spirits.
Scorpio, grand wizard Magnadon, who destroys the land.
His nickna was never an exaggeration. As Mammon’s wizard, he was the best wizard of his ti.
The 9th floor had exactly the sa structure as the 8th floor. But they had different dungeon monsters occupying several empty rooms on their floors.
Yong-ho and his subordinate spirits moved forward, literally sweeping away the dungeon monsters. Soon, they reached a large door. Compared to the eighth floor, it could be the entrance to the treasure storage.
[Master, please stop for a mont.]
[I feel the energy of my old friend.]
Aamon’s voice was transmitted not only to Yong-ho but also to all his subordinates.
He stopped as Aamon instructed and looked at the steel door embossed with a large scorpion. He imdiately found out which energy Aamon was talking about.
Seven colors of mana swirled in front of the steel door. The combined mana soon beca a circle, and it soon changed into the shape of a human again.
It wasn’t real. Like Elune’s mory that appeared on the third floor, it was an alter ego left by magic.
Grand wizard Magnadon.
He was a being as if he personified a scorpion. He covered almost all of his body with a red cloak, but a large, heavy tail not covered by the cloak proved it.
His hair, with a white beard on bronzed skin, was no different from a human, except for his red eyes and pupils.
