He used the Power of Evolution many tis. But it was different than before. The ti needed to develop and the amount of mana exceeded his expectations.
It didn’t require a lot of mana when developing a level zero category to level one. He asked the Spirit of the Dungeon to transfer the remaining mana to him in case of an ergency.
But the mana was used up within seconds.
He used up the remaining mana that he had as well as the mana he got from the Spirit of the Dungeon.
The developnt wasn’t done.
Yong-Ho gritted his teeth and used the last of his mana. If he didn’t obtain the spirit from the leader of the Orcs, he probably wouldn’t be able to finish the developnt.
How much ti already passed?
Catalina’s evolution into a hybrid finished. Yong-Ho and Catalina both collapsed to the floor at the sa ti. They started breathing heavily as they leaned against each other.
Catalina’s body was as hot as fire. Despite the fact that he was exhausted, he tried his best to move. The Spirit of the Dungeon started saying sothing, but he couldn’t really understand.
He tried moving his upper body so that he could stand up, but it was useless. Catalina seed to have lost consciousness because her body was pressing against his and since he couldn’t endure her weight, he ended up falling backward.
Catalina was still hot. Yong-Ho had a hard ti staying awake. He used up too much of his mana and stamina.
“Spirit...El...gor...co!”
The Spirit of the Dungeon spoke again. Yong-Ho heard every other word and instead of answering, he concentrated and looked at Catalina.
In front of him, he noticed that Catalina’s horn was a bit larger than before.
Anyways, it turned out for the best.
Yong-Ho made a decision. He closed his eyes and fainted.
&
Mana is contained within all demons.
It’s contained within the bones and skin and even within the blood.
Because of that, a demon can leave themselves within their mana. They could leave their consciousness, a part of their soul, mories and even a part of their power.
It was a black darkness. A total darkness that didn’t have any light.
They were walking through it. They didn’t have any thoughts or feelings. They just kept on walking and monts later, lifted their head.
“I won’t fall.”
It wasn’t their voice. It rang in their head. Within this dark world, a dim light appeared. The light ford a figure of a small, young, sowhat vicious girl.
The light connected. A new image appeared within the darkness.
It was a woman with ssy, grey hair. She was beautiful, but her vicious eyes said she wasn’t going to submit to reality. They struggled as they swallowed their humiliation and accomplished the small tasks.
The inactive rooms within the dungeon were activated. They didn’t stop in trying to improve the dungeon and continued improving themselves.
The woman imagined a sword in her head. After experiencing humiliation, insults, and all sorts of ordeals, she kneeled down. Instead of crying, she fought her way through.
The House of Mammon was supposed to collapse. That was reasonable. But, she distorted that reason. Instead of it collapsing, it was revived.
They found the gold mine.
For the first ti, she smiled brightly in front of the other spirits.
A house full of ashes.
Kaiwan, the Demon of Distortion.
They stopped walking. The dim light that showed within the darkness disappeared.
Yong-Ho couldn’t interpret that image, but he was able to assu.
She was the only one that knew the arena’s location.
She wasn’t able to return from that place and after the House of Mammon barely managed to be revived, it seed like it was going to collapse once again.
The light disappeared. Darkness filled the place.
Yong-Ho closed his eyes.
&
His head was hurting. It felt like he drank a lot the night before and was experiencing a hangover.
“Ouch.”
Yong-Ho said it without any emotion and blinked his eyes. He was thirsty. He was in the cozy demon’s bedroom that Eligor made in a hurry. The ceiling was the sa as the other rooms but the bed that was made out of straw gave off a familiar sll.
Yong-Ho closed his eyes again. It wasn’t to sleep.
He tried to rember, but it wasn’t easy. The only thing he could rember was the grey hair and the vicious eyes.
‘The owner from three generations ago.’
Yong-Ho sat up.He inspected Kaiwan’s ring that was on his left hand.
There was nothing else he could rember.
“Water.”
Thankfully, there was a water jug next to the bed. After taking several sips, Yong-Ho stood up from his seat.
“How long have I been asleep for?”
“You’ve been asleep for 10 hours.”
The Spirit of the Dungeon answered right away. Instead of asking again, he waved his finger and displayed the map of the dungeon in the air. Eligor was working together with the Goblins and Catalina was in her room, just like Yong-Ho. It seed like she was still unconscious.
“The spirit, Catalina, is in good condition. You don’t have to worry.”
It was as if they read his mind, because the Spirit of the Dungeon whispered to him. After thanking them for worrying about him, he disconnected with them. It was good that he slept for so long because his body was filled with mana.
‘It increased.’
His mana beca stronger. It wasn’t because he obtained the Orc’s spirit.
Catalina beca stronger. That affected Yong-Ho as well.
If the owner grows stronger, the dungeon grows stronger as well.
When the dungeon grows, the owner grows as well.
Spirits that are directly commanded by the owner belong to the dungeon. Their body, heart and soul all belong to the dungeon and the owner.
That’s why they were the sa as the dungeon.
If the owner becos stronger, those spirits beco stronger as well.
If those spirits beco stronger, the owner becos stronger too.
Although the effectiveness wasn’t as big as the relationship between the dungeon and its owner, it wasn’t small either.
Yong-Ho gulped. He couldn’t check the result of Catalina’s developnt.
How much stronger did she get?
What kind of route opened up?
Yong-Ho didn’t wait any longer. He headed to her bedroom. He walked through the throne room and headed towards Catalina’s bedroom.
“Catalina, I’m coming in.”
Of course she didn’t answer. Yong-Ho hesitated for a mont and opened the bedroom door. Her bedroom was just as small as his and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Catalina wrapped up in her cloak on top of a pile of straw.
Instead of entering her room, he used the Power of Evolution and observed Catalina.

A lot of things changed.
The word that notified that Catalina was a mix between a Succubus and a Dark Elf disappeared.
Her attribute level appeared and it beca more concise. The word, hybrid, disappeared from the possible routes.
‘A hybrid demon.’
Catalina still had the opportunity to choose between the Elf and Succubus route.
However, the current Catalina wasn’t an Elf or Succubus, but was a different breed. The new route, Shadow Runner, was probably a new advancent.
Yong-Ho quickly approached Catalina and unwrapped her cloak. She was still wearing the gear from before and there wasn’t a big difference physically.
‘Does...her body look better?’
Yong-Ho looked at a specific part of Catalina’s body without knowing and after covering her with the cloak again, he looked at her head. Her horn definitely grew. It was a bit longer and thicker.
‘The Succubus related stat increased as well, even though it hasn’t been developed. It’s too soon to co to a conclusion, but...it’s a good result.’
Yong-Ho released a sigh of relief and collapsed to the floor.
He looked at Catalina, who was peacefully sleeping, and cautiously extended his hand and patted her head. He stood up and walked out of her room.
“I’ve waited for you to wake up, sir.”
As soon as he walked out, Eligor spoke while showing respect. Yong-Ho was about to yell because he was startled, but after calming himself down, he closed the bedroom door. The Spirit of the Dungeon probably notified Eligor that he was awake.
His issue regarding Catalina was resolved. Now it was ti to resolve the other issues.
“Eligor, gather the spirits. There’s sothing I need to tell them.”
He was sure that Foras was going to attack again within a couple of days, so he had to figure out how to stop him.
Eligor assud that Yong-Ho was going to talk about strengthening the traps.
But, Yong-Ho didn’t talk about it. He ntioned sothing that Eligor didn’t expect.
“Let’s reclaim the gold mine as soon as possible.”
With their current funds, they won’t be able to defend the dungeon.
In that case, he had to gamble. By using the funds that are in the mine, he could find a way to defend the dungeon.
Eligor looked at Yong-Ho with a blank expression. Yong-Ho didn’t look at Eligor.
“Understood, sir. I’ll gather the spirits.”
Eligor answered in a dignified manner and headed towards the throne room. Yong-Ho was alone once again and he looked at Kaiwan’s ring.
‘I won’t give up easily.’
Yong-Ho sat on the throne, which was proof that he was the owner of the dungeon. He waited for the spirits to arrive.
< Kaiwan #1> End.
