Mamon’s Evolution 2

Legion stared blankly at Lilac.

‘This is quite the persistent relationship… but why is this woman doing this to me?’ he thought. ‘She’s the one who tormented me, she’s the one who deceived me, and she’s the one who gets angry for no reason.’

There’s a limit to being brazen, but how can she so shamelessly demand revenge?

“What do you want?”

“What could it be? The one who’s curious should solve the riddle.”

“…….”

Legion pondered for a moment. To be honest, he wasn’t that curious. But if he said he wasn’t curious at all, she seemed like she would sulk, so he reluctantly asked.

“Isn’t revenge a bit of an overstatement?”

“Then try to solve it.”

“Haa-!”

Legion sighed. He couldn’t bring himself to care.

“I’m sorry. I’m really not that curious. More than anything, it’s a hassle. I don’t really like using my brain.”

“You don’t like using your brain? Look at this slyness. Is this a trick to make me confess with my own mouth?”

“That’s up to you, but I’m telling you again, I’m not curious.”

“Fine. I’ll get straight to the point. Bring me Drayger’s heart. Then I’ll leave your territory as it is.”

“Bring what?”

“Bring Drayger’s heart.”

“Drayger? Why?”

‘Hmm! Why is Drayger’s name popping up here?’

Comparing the value of that guy’s heart and the territory, the territory is undoubtedly more valuable, but still, it’s not like I can trick a rabbit like in the *Byeoljubujeon* [a Korean folktale about tricking a rabbit to get its liver for a sick dragon] to steal its liver, can I?

‘Drayger, I’m sorry, but I’ll just borrow your heart for a moment and return it after using it for a bit.’

Even if I don’t want to, I might have to fight him.

The problem is… that guy is an 8-star Grand Master, and even if I do my best, I’m not sure if I can win against such a monster.

How do I coax him to take out his heart?

“But what are you going to do with that guy’s heart?”

“After investigating, it seems Drayger took all of Cyclops’ power. That’s our power, so we have to take it back.”

In fact, it’s not just Cyclops’ power that he took.

Cyclops’ power is great, but it’s not irreplaceable. However, the power of the demon beast Gracia, which was melted into Cyclops! That is irreplaceable with anything in the world.

The power of a powerful demon beast that even the Demon Lord fears!

What she’s aiming for is actually that.

She has spent hundreds of years trying to revive it. But Drayger snatched that power away.

From Lilac’s point of view, it was a devastating blow.

“Ah, I fully admit that that bad guy could do that. He’s really a bad guy. He doesn’t listen to me.”

Legion nodded seriously and continued.

“But I don’t think it’s possible to take out his heart.”

“Hmph! Are you cherishing your subordinate’s life? But you should think carefully. One person’s life versus thousands of lives. Which is more important?”

“Um… I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. I meant I don’t know where Drayger is. In other words, to put it simply, I can’t take out his heart because I don’t know where he is. If I find him, I’ll definitely do it.”

“…….”

Lilac frowned.

“Find him. Find him and bring him to me. I’ll give you three days. If you don’t bring Drayger’s heart, that day will be the end of your territory.”

Legion pouted.

“Three days.”

Lilac got up from her seat and left Rose’s Pub.

Watching her leave, Legion narrowed his brows. He was a little worried.

‘Should I catch that woman now?’

That kind of scroll… In fact, he had already put up a wall of mana around her, so the explosive power wouldn’t be that great. So he wasn’t worried about anything else, but he didn’t do it because of one thought.

He had to find out where the Stone Head Church’s branch was.

Legion thought that he couldn’t properly avenge the souls of his subordinates with just the death of one Lilac.

Whoosh!

The ancient dungeon of Monmeogeodo was on fire.

The ceiling collapsed, and expensive antiques were instantly engulfed in flames and disappeared. People who knew about art would have been shocked by its artistic value.

“What on earth is going on?”

Shuttle asked.

“Was there an attack?”

The dungeon entrance was broken. It was damaged by an explosion.

Mamon hurried inside. At this rate, Monmeogeodo’s precious heritage would disappear before his eyes.

He saw many valuable items along the way, but Mamon didn’t hesitate at all. The Golem Summoning術 [Summoning Art/Technique] of Monmeogeodo is ten or a hundred times more important than those.

The birth of a new race!

The golems created by Monmeogeodo were themselves excellent beings, and were even called the birth of a perfect species.

It is a misfortune of the times that it is lost.

That’s why it should never disappear.

He had to save it at all costs.

“A rubdown with a wet towel!”

Lich Mamon waved his hand in the air and mixed mana.

From the completed mana mixture, a huge amount of water jets spread in all directions. The fiercely burning fire was hit by a shower of water and quickly subsided.

Shuttle, who was following Mamon, narrowed his brows slightly.

‘A rubdown with a wet towel?’

What kind of magic spell is that? People will wonder what it means. So they’ll look it up in the dictionary. When they find out the meaning in the dictionary, they’ll finally understand the meaning. If you find it yourself and memorize it, you won’t forget it.

With this, people have learned another English sentence.

Shuttle thought it was really amazing. Mamon is using magic even while thinking about the test takers.

‘Don’t blame the writer for not appearing on the SAT,’ he mused.

“Why are you spacing out?”

Mamon asked.

“I respect you. Mamon.”

“What?”

“I’m serious. I respect you. Mamon.”

Mamon nodded lightly.

“You’ve met a lich who is worth respecting properly. Don’t change that mind in the future.”

“Yes, I’ll find the golem right away.”

Shuttle unfolded a scan magic.

“There is no biological reaction.”

“Of course. It’s a golem. It’s not a living thing. You can’t find it with thermal imaging magic either. You have to check it with your own eyes. Hurry, before the dungeon collapses completely.”

“I understand.”

Mamon and Shuttle slowly moved inside, putting out the fiercely burning flames.

* * *

“This is terrible.”

Mamon frowned.

The arms and legs of the humanoid golem were torn off.

Circuits tangled like muscles and bones sparked and lay on the floor. The humanoid golem couldn’t get up and repeatedly raised and lowered its upper body.

“Are you okay?”

Mamon sighed briefly and asked.

It was impossible for the two of them to save the golem that was rapidly disappearing before their eyes with their knowledge.

“Huh? Are you… a peddler?”

“…I’m not.”

“I clearly said that peddlers are prohibited.”

‘Ah, this bastard… is a bit annoying. Should I just go?’

“I’ll explain.”

Shuttle, who was watching, intervened.

Since it wasn’t a good atmosphere, it would be difficult to create such a friendly atmosphere, saying hello, the weather is really nice. It’s also fate that we met like this, so why don’t we talk about environmental pollution while refueling at that gas station with a good atmosphere over there?

Nevertheless, Shuttle persuaded the humanoid golem as gently as possible.

-In fact, this Mamon is a 7-circle lich. He’s on par with the Demon King.

At Shuttle’s words, Lich Mamon shrugged his shoulders.

‘I can’t see his expression, but judging from the flickering blue light, he seemed to be elated,’ Shuttle thought.

-He’s by no means a peddler. He’s just a lich who respects Monmeogeodo! If Mamon didn’t respect Monmeogeodo, he would have destroyed the dungeon long ago.

-Right now, Mamon has jumped into this dangerous place to save you. He felt the danger to his life several times, but he arrived here with only the thought of saving you.

He mixed facts and exaggerations appropriately.

And he watched the humanoid golem’s reaction.

The humanoid golem’s eyes shone brightly. He was clearly moved.

“Is that true?”

“Why would I lie in this situation?”

“I’ve never received such kindness while living alone for hundreds of years. I don’t have the data, so I don’t know how to deal with it.”

“You can hand over Monmeogeodo’s legacy to Mamon.”

“Ah, would that be enough?”

“That’s enough.”

Somehow things seem to be going well.

“Okay. I’ll give it to you. But unfortunately, the combat golems were all taken by those guys.”

“There were combat golems here?”

“Yes, but now they’ve been taken, so it’s as good as nothing.”

“Then who are the guys who attacked here?”

“I don’t know. They were guys wearing black masks and black armor. They were quite skilled. The defense system we had in place was useless.”

“Why didn’t you use the combat golems?”

“I couldn’t use them carelessly because they were the master’s legacy. It’s a big mistake. If I had known this would happen, I should have used them. To think they would be taken like this.”

“How much did they steal?”

“100 units.”

“100 units?”

‘I couldn’t tell if it was a lot or a little. I don’t know where to put the reference point,’ Shuttle thought.

“From a human perspective, they are very strong. No one can beat them if they go to war.”

“100 of those?”

“Yes.”

“Where did they go with 100 combat golems?”

“I don’t know. I heard them say… Le… something.”

‘Could it be Legion’s territory?’

“I think they said Leports.”

Leports?

“Was it ready-mix concrete? Or I think they said Remirezable.”

He doesn’t seem to have a very good memory.

“Okay, that’s enough. So what’s your name?”

“It’s Automation.”

“…Go, good name.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Automation, hand over Monmeogeodo’s legacy. We’ll definitely use it for good.”

“You don’t have to use it for good. Just don’t let it disappear.”

“Okay!”

Automation opened its chest. And he took out a book and gave it to Shuttle.

Shuttle took the book and gave it to Lich Mamon.

Lich Mamon’s eyes shone so brightly that they couldn’t be brighter. ‘Can I get this so easily?’

-8-circle golem summoning術 [Summoning Art/Technique] that is difficult to learn and even more difficult to use.

Anyway, he finally got Monmeogeodo’s legacy.

Gradually, Automation’s broken arms and legs began to be restored.

Before he knew it, he had regained his original appearance.

It’s an amazing technology. Lich Mamon and Shuttle couldn’t hide their admiration as they watched the perfectly restored Automation.

“Amazing.”

“Thank you.”

Automation completely changed its attitude, perhaps because he helped him.

“Follow me.”

“Where are we going?”

Mamon asked.

“I’m going to the bottom floor of the dungeon.”

“The bottom floor of the dungeon?”

“The guys took everything, but they couldn’t touch that place. Or they didn’t even know it existed.”

“What’s there?”

“You’ll know if you follow me.”

Automation led Mamon and Shuttle to a steel door. And he pressed the button with the arrow pointing down.

The door opens with a ding.

It was a strange door that I had never seen before.

Automation got in first and gestured. ‘Please get in.’

Lich Mamon and Shuttle also took their seats inside the door. Shuttle pressed the bottom floor and the password at the same time. Then the inside of the door moved automatically and headed underground.

Lich Mamon and Shuttle were surprised.

The feeling was very strange. I couldn’t stand the strange feeling and felt like I was going to throw up.

“What is this?”

“It’s an elevator. Haven’t you seen this kind of door before?”

No.

A door and space that moves automatically.

Once again, he realizes how great Monmeogeodo is.

Automation, who arrived at the lowest floor, passed through three more secret doors.

When the last door was opened, a cold wind blowing from the depths of the underground swept through Mamon and Shuttle’s bodies. Something came into their eyes.

It was a huge golem that was so huge that they had never seen it before.

“Monmeogeodo’s final weapon. It’s Daganda Z.”

Automation smiled as he looked up at Daganda Z as if he was proud.
