Mammon, the King of Greed, shut the door of the celestial world. He sacrificed his life to save the demon world.

Mammon’s 12 Spirits did not see Mammon’s last moment. Even Aamon, who was always with Mammon, didn’t see it either. They saw him last when he was climbing the stairs to the celestial door alone.

But Sitri was beside him during his last moment. Even when Mammon forcibly sent back his 12 Spirits to the Labyrinth of Greed, she was with Mammon. That was why she could see what happened to him more than anybody else.

Sitri saw Mammon, the King of Greed’s last moment, and what he did after closing the celestial door.

Sitri remembered them all. She never forgot them. Rather, she could never forget them.

***

All of the major figures of the Mammon family and the eight clans gathered at Tiamet, the giant red dragon.

It was a secret meeting. There were only a few among them in both camps who knew why they gathered in one place early in the morning.

By using the core of the giant red dragon, Tiamet, as a terminal, Lucia spent hours creating a mana-sharing passage between the Labyrinth of Greed and Tiamet. Since the Labyrinth of Greed at the southern end of the demon world was very far away from the dungeon fortress of the eight clans where Tiamet was currently located, it was a really tough job for Lucia, but she made it in the end. It was literally the result of her sweat and hard work.

Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury stood, facing each other. Behind him were his 12 subordinate spirits, headed by Catalina and Kaiwan, while the queen was accompanied by her subordinate spirits, Gardimundi and Kirtimuka, as well as the surviving heads of the eight clans, namely the head of the Asura clan, Rakshika, and the head of Dragon clan, Sukura, and the head of the Garura clan, Biryubakcha.

Yong-ho’s subordinate spirits and the heads of the eight clans did not stand up randomly. Under their feet was a magic circle drawn by Yuno who counted the stars and Yustia who led the way. It was in the shape of a huge magic circle consisting of lots of small magic circles.

[Come on, please feel relaxed.]

[I think I should do something like a speech, but let me skip it!]

When Lucia spoke in a somewhat exaggerated voice, the 12 subordinate spirits as well as the heads of the eight clans grimaced at her suddenly.

The Queen of Fury blushed. She rolled her lips into her mouth once then gently raised her head and looked at him.

They were faced with a situation where there was an imminent attack from the celestial world. Besides, the King of Pride’s forces were still active in the northern area.

But it would be no good at all if they shuddered with fear, doing nothing.

The Queen of Fury only concentrated on what was going to happen now. She was there to make the contract with Yong-ho on her being his subordinate spirit, but it was of greater significance to her personally.

Her two eyes were bloodshot because she agonized over it all night.

Yong-ho finally made eye contact with her. After smiling at her gently, he ordered Lucia to proceed with the ceremony.

[We are going to begin the ritual.]

[I hope you can relax and release your mana naturally.]

All 12 subordinate spirits opened up their horns. Since the weakest of them had six horns, a huge amount of mana filled the space. The heads of the eight clans, who were about to release as much mana as them, once again keenly felt the power of the House of Mammon. Convinced that their choice was right, they injected power into the magic circles.

A bright light came from the magic circles that swallowed up not only the mana transmitted from the Labyrinth of Greed but also the mana of the 12 subordinate spirits and the heads of the eight clans. Mana was concentrated on the place where Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury met.

What Yong-ho was trying to do wasn’t just a simple contract on making her his subordinate spirit.

Typically, any master who became another master’s subordinate spirit had to give up many things, such as freeing his or her own subordinate spirits and cutting off the connection with the soul of the dungeon.

But Yong-ho did not want to force all of those things on the Queen of Fury, so he prepared a special contract.

This was possible because Yuno and Yustia, who made the first contracts for the master’s subordinate spirits in the demon world, were present at the ceremony. Instead of drastically increasing the mana required for the contract on the queen’s subordinate spirit, they made sure the queen kept many of what she currently had.

For example, it was impossible for her to increase a new subordinate spirit, but she was not supposed to lose her existing subordinate spirits. She could also get connected with the soul of the dungeon.

Their collected mana was refined. A white ray of light wrapped around Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury.

[We’re proceeding with the ceremony on the contract on her subordinate spirit.]

[Master, please give her the certificate on her subordinate spirit.]

He gently raised the queen’s hand then put a Brigada bracelet on her white, thin wrist.

Then he put a ring on her finger, which Burgrim made skillfully.

The light completely covered him and the queen completely. When he gave the ring to her, the contact was fully effective now.

Soon they felt a change. The 12 subordinate spirits felt a new figure was added between them and Yong-ho. The Queen of Fury was thrilled to know she could get connected with the soul of her dungeon immediately. She unwittingly let out an exclamation of surprise.

Both Yong-ho and the Queen of Fury had experienced executing this kind of subordinate spirit contract before. As a result, he had as many as eleven subordinate spirits, while she had Kirtimuka and Gardimundi.

But it was different this time. It was no exaggeration to say that the difference between the past contract and the current contract that the two executed was night and day.

This was a contract that required the Queen of Fury with one of the Seven Deadly Sins to become another king’s subordinate spirit. It was the first time that the King of Greed created a contract on his subordinate spirits since the opening of the demon world.

Yong-ho felt the power of Fury.

Dritarashutra, the Queen of Fury, trembled with thrill when she felt the mana of Greed and Gluttony transmitted through Brigada. She was letting out a breath full of pain and pleasure.

Greed, Gluttony, and Fury.

The three Sins had become one under the King of Greed. Mammon’s body and soul were put together once again. The Demon God’s heart was beating violently.

Mammon’s Godly Energy also responded. It delivered the last power that could not find its original owner, namely the love of Yuno who counted the stars, to Dritarashutra.

Scathach’s Life, Skull’s Death, Catalina’s Justice, Samael’s Creation, Ophelia’s Honor, Tigrius’ Harmony, Gusion’s Courage, Richard’s Trust, Kaiwan’s Passion, Eligos’ Patience, and Dritarashutra’s Love.

And Aamon.

Finally, Yong-ho had a complete set of 12 subordinate spirits. Only now did he complete Mammon’s Godly Energy.

Yong-ho realized the real reason why Mammon, the King of Greed, created his Godly Energy, and what he wanted to achieve with it.

Mammon’s Godly Energy united the three Sins into one. It reminded them of the fact that they had been originally one but scattered for so long.

Sitri grabbed her chest. She felt the Sin of Sloth that wanted to be united with the three Sins.

She looked at Yong-ho, suppressing her pounding heart.

A new horn of light sprouted from Yong-ho’s head. It started with one. It then grew to seven at once. Moreover, it didn’t stop there.

He had an eighth horn now as the result of the enormous power created by the three Sins as one!

The 12 subordinate spirits screamed all at once. Even the Queen of Fury hugged her shoulders and screamed.

Yong-ho roared, too. He peeked into the great achievements of Mammon, the King of Greed.

The tribesmen of the eight clans who gathered at the dungeon fortress realized that something tremendous happened. However, they couldn’t figure out what it was. All they could do was take a glimpse of the moving dungeon, Vimana, and the giant red dragon, Tiamet, which the King of Greed got aboard to come here.

The ritual of the queen becoming Yong-ho’s subordinate spirit was over. Yong-ho’s 12 subordinate spirits, who consumed enormous mana during the ceremony, lay down without exception, and it took nearly half a day for all of them to recover.

“As you may already know, my name is Dritarashutra. I hope I can get along with you well in the future.”

Three women gathered in one of the cabins of Tiamet, the giant red dragon and Yong-ho’s main battleship.

Since she was born and raised in the culture of polygamy and polyandry among the eight clans, the Queen of Fury didn’t seem to be conscious of Catalina or Kaiwan.

Kaiwan was nervous when the queen held out her hand in a friendly manner with a bright smile.

She cleared her throat then replied in a bit of a sulky voice, “Well, I’m your senior in terms of Yong-ho’s subordinate spirit. So, when we are together like this, I won’t treat you as the Queen of Fury. Got it?”

“No problem.”

The queen responded readily again this time, and Kaiwan felt somehow defeated.

She felt even ashamed of herself because she knew what she just said to the queen was immature and rude. Although the queen responded kindly, she was still the head of the eight clans anyway.

Above all, she was the Queen of Fury who was much more powerful than Kaiwan had thought.

At that moment, Catalina, who was quietly standing next to her, touched Kaiwan’s arm.

“Why?”

Only

“Hmmm. I’m your senior in terms of Yong-ho’s subordinate spirit…” Catalina said timidly.

As soon as she heard that, Kaiwan glared at Catalina, who let down her ears and tail without ending her words.

Silencing Catalina immediately, Kaiwan looked back at the Queen of Fury.

She said, gently holding her hand, “It’s nice to see you. I’m Kaiwan. And this girl here is…”

“Oh, my name is Catalina, our master’s escort knight,” Catalina answered immediately, correcting Kaiwan’s funny introduction. Given that she erected her tail, she was obviously upset with Kaiwan.

The Queen of Fury opened her mouth for a moment then stroked Catalina’s head.

Then she said with a bright smile, “I feel like we can hit it off very well. Don’t you think so?”
