Dungeon Maker
chapter-112

At the same time, Tigrius prepared two magics. One originated from his cane and the other from his left hand.

A barrage of magic poured out like a machine gun from the tip of the cane. It was an energy missile, one of simple yet effective attack magics.

It was fast enough. Dozens of magical lumps pouring from the front were clearly intimidating.

That was why Yong-ho moved forward. He didn’t distance himself from Tigrius by stepping aside or stepping back. He discerned the flow of Tigrius’s magic. No, he felt it now.

It was like an arrow. Energy missiles drew a certain trajectory.

Yong-ho sensed the trajectory and moved accordingly. Yong-ho’s subordinate demons felt so thrilled when they saw their master rushing forward while evading energy missiles by a hair’s breadth.

“Greece!”

Tigrius urgently put into action the magic on his left hand.

The ground in front of Yong-ho lost its coefficient of friction and became extremely slippery. Yong-ho anticipated various kinds of attack magic, but he didn’t expect this kind of blocking at all. He inevitably stepped on the ground and fell, losing his balance.

Seizing that chance, Tigrius once again used Blink. He really wanted to attack Yong-ho at the moment, but increasing the distance from him was his top priority now.

Tigrius’s judgment was correct.

Yong-ho didn’t fall helplessly. Although he didn’t anticipate the kind of magic that Tigrius possessed, he sensed that something magical was forming. So, Yong-ho swung Aamon the moment he slipped. There was no strength in his swing, but he didn’t need it anyway.

A wave of green flames originating from the tip of his spear swept over the place where Tigrius had stayed.

Tigrius understood that the head of the House of Mammon could sense the flow of magic power. Maybe he could see it from the beginning. Anybody who was sensitive to magic could do it. It was unusual to do it during an urgent battle, but it was pointless for Tigrius to talk about it when Yong-ho was already using it.

Instead of landing behind Yong-ho’s back once again, Tigrius retreated and immediately triggered the next magic. He could not afford to save the magic numbers that he had memorized.

Various colored lights filled the space between the two. Their dazzling splendor was comparable to the sky of the demon world.

Tigrius’s excellent hearing captured even the slightest noises that he would not have to hear. And that sensitivity could sometimes be his weakness.

‘If you can see, see it. Feel free if you can feel it.’

It was oversupply. For Yong-ho, who was concentrating on the flow of magic, he felt shocked as if the whole world was filled with magical light.

Then, Tigrius fired energy missiles in succession. Dozens of energy lumps hit Yong-ho like a bomb strike.

This time, Tigrius felt instinctively that his attack was successful. However, most of his attacks did not do any damage.

Green flames bloomed. Tigrius’s elaborate attack backfired. Yong-ho blocked a barrage of energy missiles with the Shield of Jamming, the power embedded in Kaiwan’s ring. He recovered himself by causing green flames to block the magic power surrounding him.

Tigrius laughed bitterly. Indeed, Yong-ho wasn’t an ordinary opponent. It was no coincidence that Yong-ho defeated Foras and Jungceros in succession before beating Agares.

However, Tigrius was not yet ready to give up. Rather, he was thinking about victory even at this moment.

Carrying the cane, Tigrius changed his posture. Rather than increasing the distance with Yong-ho again, he rushed as if he wanted to have a head-to-head fight.

The green flames disappeared at once. Yong-ho, who came out of the green flames he had created himself, swung Aamon at Tigrius, who charged from the front.

Rather than avoiding the attack, Tigrius swung his cane at Aamon.

There was a thunderous roar. It was more than imagined. It was so powerful that Yong-ho felt a lingering throbbing on both arms.

Strength, a strength-enhancing magic, and Haste, a speed-enhancing magic.

It wasn’t just all there was. Tigrius carried a total of five sub-magics on his body, which drastically enhanced his physical ability that was already powerful enough.

It was true that one should not be deceived by the appearance of an old man.

Judging from his look, Foras was also an old man anyway.

Tigrius turned to Blink again. This time, he appeared from Yong-ho’s right side and swung his cane. Yong-ho barely escaped the attack.

He was not wielding his cane recklessly. His swinging was refined and skillful in a sharp contrast to Foras’ beastly movement. Obviously, he mastered specific martial arts for a long time.

Tigrius used various kinds of magic even amid the head-to-head fighting,

Attack magic such as energy missiles, as well as close-range magic such as Greece, confused Yong-ho, but he endured them well. He was never dominated by Tigrius.

It was true that Tigrius’s physical abilities drastically improved. However, Yong-ho’s physical strength was not far behind him. In fact, Yong-ho’s body underwent a complete change for the better.

Tigrius apparently honed his skills for many years. But what about his actual battle experience? When it came to the battle that risked his life, Yong-ho had far more experience than Tigrius. No matter what others said, Yong-ho already experienced virtual death hundreds of times.

Yong-ho’s action exceeded Tigrius’s expectations. The moment Tigrius thought he would step back, Yong-ho moved forward even at the risk of his life. Obviously, he acted as if he left everything to Providence.

‘Oh, no!’ Tigrius doubted.

Yong-ho’s action was thoroughly calculated. It was far from his reliance on luck or recklessness. Tigrius could confirm it in his eyes!

Bang!

Aamon poured out, pressing Tigrius’s cane and fixing it on the ground. It did not stop there and released intense green flames. Green flames surged splendidly toward Tigrius as if a hawk soared in the sky. Tigrius was close by, so he did not have enough time to activate Blink. No, maybe he already used up all of his available Blink.

During that short moment, Yong-ho’s eyes met his. Tigrius let go of his hand that was holding the cane. The green flames swept over Tigrius.

This time, Tigrius surpassed his expectations.

Tigrius took one step further. The green flames scattered without harming him. It was not because Yong-ho weakened the intensity of the green flames to save his life.

The Flame Shield.

It was a flame barrier that Tigrius had prepared for today’s duel, a secret weapon that protected him from fire attacks.

On the premise that he would be helped by his cane, Tigrius could use three magics at the same time. Nevertheless, the reason he used only two magics until now was because he wanted to maintain the Flame Shield.

As for the green flames that Yong-ho shot at him first, Tigrius didn’t have to avoid it because he would have endured them with the power of the Flame Shield.

But he avoided the green flames excessively to seize the moment to reverse the tide!

The Flame Shield burned red. Tigrius did not spare his magic. Charging at Yong-ho immediately, he concentrated magic on his right hand. The blade of pure white magic soared up.

The green flames didn’t work because Tigrius was too close for Yong-ho to use the spear. The Flame Shield would serve as a barrier against not only the green flames but also other attacks by Yong-ho.

Right at this moment, the goddess of victory turned to Tigrius himself.

It was a perfect checkmate!

But the moment Tigrius was about to declare victory, he saw something strange.

Yong-ho also let go of Aamon. Then, he rushed forward as if to narrow the distance with Tigrius. It seemed as if he was throwing himself into the blazing Flame Shield.

Was he reckless? No.

Tigrius could feel Yong-ho’s magic power, though not as much as he.

Tigrius was amazed at the magic energy that he should feel at this moment.

An intense chill enveloped his body. Something from the magic field on Yong-ho’s left hand broke the Flame Shield. The Flame Shield was broken like a thin glass window before the intense chill.

‘Two attributes?!’

It wasn’t just magic. It was pure magic. That was why Tigrius was all the more astonished. How could Yong-ho do this?

Tigrius couldn’t think any further. After destroying the Flame Shield, Yong-ho punched him endlessly. Tigrius used his last available Blink to retreat. Since it happened instantly, he could not even think of attacking Yong-ho from his back.

And Yong-ho now chased him. He rushed toward Tigrius without any hesitation as if he knew the old man would retreat.

Blink was definitely a magic that helped one to leap through space. So, it was impossible to notice one’s leaping process between the origin and destination points.

But it wasn’t a magical power. The magic power at the destination point was distorted.

It would have been difficult to detect Tigrius if he had moved back as he did, but this time, he operated Blink within Yong-ho’s view.

Aamon was now held again in Yong-ho’s hand. However, an intense chill was still coming out from the magic field of his left hand.

Tigrius could not be sure which of the two was the real one that tormented him.

But he had no time to think. He exercised the power of the Demon King. He combined two magics into one beyond his limits.

The Flame Shield against flames.

The Aqua Shield against chills.

Yong-ho clearly witnessed that the two colors and attributes became one before his eyes. That was why he didn’t stop.

Yong-ho lifted Aamon high above his head and struck against the barrier that Tigrius had set up. At that moment, a lightning bolt struck, which was not a metaphor, but a real thunderbolt!

It was a lightning strike.

The third attribute of his magic neutralized the attributes of the Flame Shield and Aqua Shield.

Tigrius was astonished and so were the demons of the House of Mammon, who was watching it.

They knew early on that Yong-ho had the attributes of fire and chill. But a lightning strike?

There was no such thing. Of course, Yong-ho didn’t learn the lightning strike magic.

But Skull understood it. The Brigada necklace was absorbing Skull’s own magic.

In no time, Catalina sensed it, too. She felt that she was being united with Yong-ho.

Her dark magic was being delivered to Yong-ho through Brigada, which had the attribute of darkness. Since her energy was exhausted instantly, she felt some pain, but her heart was filled with a deep sense of fidelity that she was being united with her master. Her joy was greater than her pain.

Yong-ho could deliver the magical power of greed to his subordinate demons through Brigada. That was why they could add greed to their magical power until now.

Brigada’s role was to amplify, respond, and save magic power!

The greed embedded in Brigada absorbed the magic of the subordinate demons and got delivered to Yong-ho.

The next step that Gusion mentioned!

The reason why he said that in order to bring out Brigada’s true power, the subordinate demons should also become stronger!

Yong-ho realized it himself and exercised it in the real battle. Catalina’s black magic was condensed into Aamon that he lifted high.

Yong-ho then struck it again. As if to show off Catalina’s strength, her black magic that transformed into a huge sword completely destroyed Tigrius’s shield. Crushed by the overwhelming force, Tigrius could no longer withstand it. He helplessly flopped down.

Aamon did not harm Tigrius, and the black magic only cut the air.

Only

Tigrius gasped for breath. He looked at Yong-ho with trembling eyes.

And he understood that it was time for him to implement the contract.

“I admit defeat. You’re the head of the House of Mammon, no, My Lord!”

He admitted defeat completely. Yong-ho also breathed roughly. Using Brigada was quite difficult for him because he was not familiar with it. But he withdrew Aamon with a smile. He also took back the chill from the magic field on his left arm then reached out. He raised Tigrius by himself and said, “Welcome, Tigrius, the wizard of the House of Mammon!”

Tigrius laughed bitterly at his new title.

Instead of complaining about it, he once again expressed his respect for Yong-ho as his subject.

It was the moment when the two families of Mammon and Randolt became one.
