Chapter 287: Epilogue (1)
The war between the North and the South, which involved the whole demon world, finally ended.
The war lasted only one month, but its aftereffects were devastating.
When the war between the celestial world and the demon world, followed by the war of the northern and southern forces, was finally over, the changes that the demon world experienced were far greater than all the changes over the last thousand years.
***
Samael looked at the collapsed dungeon. Just a few months ago, there were numerous people going in and out of the dungeon.
The special auction house of the Dungeon Market. It was broken and ruined. On its walls and floors were the traces of the day when the special auction house collapsed. Samael clenched her teeth when she found the darkened bloodstains all over the walls.
Among the changes caused by the war of the northern and southern forces, the collapse of the Dungeon Market was most talked about by the busybodies everywhere.
Dungeon Market completely collapsed.
It wasn’t because three of the five directors there were gone.
Although they were greatly destroyed, the distribution channels of Dungeon Market were still connected throughout the demon world, and its various production facilities were also in good shape. In fact, since the Dungeon Market monopolized the entire demonic world, there was no competitor to replace it in the event of a crisis.
Nonetheless, the Dungeon Market collapsed.
The demon world no longer believed the Dungeon Market.
“But I’m going to build it again.”
Samael thought of Siri’s words, slightly lifting her wings.
Sitri, the founder of the Dungeon Market, shared all the remaining properties of the Dungeon Market with Samael. Sitri asked Samael to create a new Dungeon Market.
Even if the inhabitants of the demon world do not trust the Dungeon Market, they still needed it in the demon world.
“Master, the time is up.”
When she heard the voice from behind her back, Samael turned around. It was the voice of Incubus Henry, Samael’s new butler. He was the younger cousin of Karot, who was killed while defending her dungeon, even though he was overwhelmingly inferior to the enemy in military strength.
“I’m sorry. I think I have been delayed too long.”
Samael was the owner of the new Dungeon Market, but she had only one master.
“I should not be late. Let’s hurry.”
Today was a special day.
Just like Karot, Henry escorted Samael politely. The fastest wing, Samael, who was one of Yong-ho’s 12 subordinate spirits, ascended on a flying wagon heading for the Labyrinth of Greed.
***
The age of the six kings had come to an end.
People in the northern area, who lost their king, fell into great chaos, but only for a brief period. The situation in the northern area soon went back to normal.
The unclaimed land in the northern area.
It was a place where dozens of house masters ruled their respective dungeons and competed with each other.
However, it was different from the southern land that had been divided over the past one thousand years because Yong-ho existed in the current demon world.
He was the one and only greatest king in all the history of the demon world.
The masters of the northern area sent their envoys to the south competitively to curry favor with him. Today was a very special day for the entire demon world.
***
The territory of the King of Lust, like the territories of the King of Pride and the King of Envy, became an unclaimed land because of its division.
The vassals of the King of Lust kept his dungeon, waiting for the king’s return, but the king did not appear before them.
The King of Lust was alive.
Even now, when both the war of the North and the South, as well as another great war, was over, the soul of the dungeon of the King of Lust was alive. This meant that the dungeon owner, the King of Lust, was alive.
Asmodeus, the King of Lust.
Sword demon, the king who had lived longer than anyone else in the demon world and cherished the Sin of Lust.
The King of Lust had been with Lust for so long. It was no exaggeration to say that the king was already the Sin of Lust.
Because of this, even after the war ended, the king still existed like before. In fact, he was similar to the Queen of Fury or the Queen of Sloth who shared the power of sin with Yong-ho after they were made his subordinate spirits.
Yongho did not kill the King of Lust. Following Mammon’s last will, he freed the king.
The King of Lust wandered in the wilderness. While wandering aimlessly, the king stopped on a small hill in the north. It was the place where the king first encountered the King of Pride a long time ago.
A rough wind blew. The king’s snow-white hair was twined around her chest and shoulders.
The King of Lust did not resent Yong-ho. This time, the king didn’t have any deep regrets either. She just shed tears for the King of Pride.
“Bellial.”
That was the name of the King of Pride that Asmodeus, the King of Lust, remembered.
The King of Lust did not rush. She waited a little more, facing the blowing wind.
She remembered her love for the King of Pride.
***
The war between the celestial world and the demon world lasted three days and three nights. For this reason, there were some who called the war the Three Days’ War.
The biggest feature of the war was that all those in the demon world became united as one.
The survivors of the southern and northern forces, who had once gathered together to fight against each, joined hands under one flag and fought the celestial world. Although they fought only three days, they all became the greatest king’s subordinate spirits during the battle.
The war made the whole demon world united as one with the King of Greed as the central leader.
The Labyrinth of Greed, which was the great battleground, no longer existed in the center of the demon world because it returned to the place where it was originally supposed to be.
***
Dragons were lazy individualists even now as they used to be.
On the day when the war between the celestial world and the demon world ended, the Dragon Legion was disbanded. As a matter of fact, they could be established because of the absolute charisma of the King of Violence. Now that even the King of Violence’s last will was gone, there was no reason to maintain the dragon army anymore.
Dragon Lord Ancablosa returned to a free blue dragon. While she was goofing off in her own hideout Rare, she woke up at the urging of Dark Elves who were her subordinate spirits.
“What the heck?! The promised day has not come yet!”
What she complained about was that she had not yet slept for a month when the war was over in less than a month. According to her original schedule, she was supposed to wake up two months later than now, on the day when the King of Greed would get married to the Queen of Fury.
The Dark Elves trembled and expressed fear at their master’s annoying voice.
Ancablosa suppressed her anger and asked again with a slightly softened voice, “If you hadn’t been crazy, you wouldn’t have woken me up for no reason. What happened while I was sleeping?”
The Dark Elves nodded. Then they delivered urgent news to Ancablosa, who turned into an Afsaras with long dark blue hair.
***
“We must hurry to return even by ourselves.”
Tigrius of Harmony, one of Yong-ho’s 12 subordinate spirits, spoke, gently touching Salami’s back. The reason why Salami, Yong-ho’s private car, was carrying Tigrius on his back, was simple.
Yong-ho ordered Salami to give him a ride because he could not take a break even after the war was over, who had to lead the northern expeditionary force.
When the war was over, the territories of the King of Pride, the King of Envy, and the King of Gluttony became no king’s land.
The territories of the King of Pride and the King of Envy were located far too far from the “Land of Greed” in the south. However, it was not the territory of the King of Gluttony, so Yong-ho organized a northern expedition with Tigrius as the head.
“Skullkull.”
Another pillar of the northern expedition force, Skull, responded with a hearty laugh.
The Skull unit, which made great achievements in the war with the celestial world, was advancing at the forefront of the northern expedition force under the feet of Bucephalas running through the sky with Salami.
Originally, the northern expeditionary force should have already arrived at the Labyrinth of Greed, but due to unexpected troubles, they didn’t arrive on time. If they led the northern expedition force as they were now, they would not be able to participate in the event.
“Well... I understand that you also agree. Then, let’s leave the command to Wicross until you return.”
Skull laughed again this time, and Tigrius cast a spell while feeling a bit anxious.
He conveyed the message that he would leave the return of his expeditionary force to Vampire Lord Wicross, who was in charge of the northern expedition force in the center.
“All done. Now, then let’s go.”
“Skull Skull.”
Skull nodded and put the spur on Bucephalas. Bucephalas ran at full speed, leaving behind green flames, while Salami, which started belatedly, was upset with Skull. Even though Tigrius didn’t convey any message, Skull spread the wings of the flames and sped up.
Tigrius’s hair and beard were quickly messed up because he had no time to cast the windshield magic. But instead of expressing anger, Tigrius laughed like Skull. Grabbing the handle on the back of Salami, he enjoyed the blowing wind.
“Skullkull!”
He had to hurry. Today was the day of the wedding of Yong-ho, their beloved and respected owner.
