Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 579

There were numerous obstacles in the Abyss.

Even Se-un would have struggled against such powerful enemies.

The terrain was sharp and winding, as if trying to devour the players, and deadly curses and poisons spewed out from all directions.

However.

– The Demon God Body resists the coagulation of demonic beasts.

Se-un had nothing to fear from any of it.

The Demon God Body was immune to most status ailments, and his body was overwhelmingly stronger.

“How can a human possess such energy…!”

Slash.

The enemies fell like autumn leaves.

Of course, the deeper he went into the Abyss, the stronger the enemies became.

Some even managed to bypass the Demon God Body’s immunity and inject poison.

Each time, Se-un identified the limitations of the Demon God Body and swung his sword even more enthusiastically.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ cheers.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ praises the food here, saying each one is a delicacy from various regions.

Thanks to this, Beelzebub’s cheers were incessant.

Thus, he arrived at the deepest part of the Abyss.

Naturally, as it was a combat zone, there was a ‘boss monster’ here as well.

“Why have you come here, human? This place is forbidden, as has been made known. Have the guardian soldiers reached the end of their lifespan?”

“Guardian soldiers…”

Se-un recalled the guardian soldiers of the forbidden area who guarded the Abyss.

– We are not here to collect tolls. We exist to prohibit entry, following the will of the previous Demon King.

Their words.

In other words, the identity of this boss monster was.

“The previous Demon King?”

“Is there even a need to call me the ‘previous’? The position of Demon King has long disappeared from this world.”

“Why is the previous Demon King hiding at the bottom of the Abyss?”

“It was my last mission as a Demon King. To lift the curse of this forbidden area was the destiny of the previous Demon Kings.”

“So, you failed.”

“I defeated all the previous Demon Kings… but in the end, I filled that position. Since the Demon Realm has already collapsed, I will become the last guardian soldier and protect the Abyss.”

“So, it’s down here?”

But something was strange.

Combining what the previous Demon King said with Se-un’s deductions, the curse should be an Outer God.

Then, that Demon King should already be consumed by the Outer God.

However.

‘I don’t sense an Outer God.’

The Saintess’s Mark didn’t react.

Luin had been quiet lately, but the Mark of Destruction would automatically react in the presence of an Outer God.

“Whatever you seek, there is only a curse hidden below. A human already exposed to the curse… must be killed.”

Se-un nodded at the previous Demon King’s words.

Whatever the case, that Demon King didn’t seem to have any intention of letting Se-un leave unscathed.

He could search for the Outer God after dealing with him.

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Assault, is enhanced.

He approached the approaching enemy and swung his sword.

The enemy easily blocked Se-un’s attack, which even the strongest monsters had failed to react to.

“You’ve bathed in Demon God Blood? To absorb Demon God Blood with a human body, I commend you. Well, you wouldn’t have been able to come this far otherwise.”

The previous Demon King’s weapon was his claws.

Not ordinary claws, but claws that gleamed red as if made of blood. It seemed to contain an immense curse of blood.

Apart from the curse, its strength was also excellent, enough to clash with Se-un’s sword.

“Even so, you cannot face me with a human body.”

Swoosh!

The Demon King’s claws stretched out, becoming long enough to disappear from sight.

As he slashed the eerie claws dripping with blood, a red slash flew in the shape of a tilted cross.

Clang, clang, clang!

Se-un simply raised Durandal as usual to block the slash.

And immediately, following the Guidepost of the Journey, he accurately struck Durandal at the intersection of the slashes.

‘I’m used to the power now.’

He had faced dozens, hundreds of powerful monsters while descending the Abyss.

He deliberately used various techniques and tactics to adapt to his current state as the Demon God Body.

He had become stronger in so many ways that there were still resistances and immunities he hadn’t confirmed, but he could gradually check them as he ascended the tower.

Clang!

“To block my slash with a human body. Truly, a commendable feat.”

The Demon King was not flustered even though the slash was broken.

Rather, as if to prove that the previous attack was just the beginning, he unleashed dozens of red slashes.

At that moment, the Authority of Greed began to dwell in Se-un’s sword.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Sword of Banishment, Four Tiger Execution Sword ]

– A sword made in the year, month, day, and hour of the Tiger, known as a sacred sword imbued with pure Yang [positive, active] energy that slays demons and wards off disasters.

Something he hadn’t been able to confirm while facing various monsters above.

That was, using the Authority of Greed with the body of the Demon God.

The monsters he encountered while coming to the bottom of the Abyss weren’t strong enough to use the Authority of Greed in the first place.

And now.

The opponent in front of him was the perfect opponent to test this power.

Swoosh!

“…That sword.”

Clearly, there was resistance even when aiming for the gaps in the slashes at first, but now the slashes disappeared with just a light swing of the sword.

Those slashes were slashes that the Demon King had materialized with the curse of blood.

As they contained evil energy, they were easily cut down by the Four Tiger Execution Sword, a sword of banishment.

“You may possess a holy sword, but countless holy swords have been broken before me.”

The Demon King’s cloak fluttered, and a blood-colored wave arose.

Although he was referred to as a Demon King, his race was a high-ranking bloodline called vampires.

No one could match him in manipulating blood and curses.

– According to the mysteries of the White Tower, the elemental power of ‘Shining Blade’ increases.

Se-un also used white magic to face the Demon King without backing down.

Clang, clang!

Shwaaa-

Light and darkness intersected in the deepest part of the Abyss.

The Demon King’s body was stained with darkness, dodging Se-un’s sword, but even in a state of immunity to all attacks, he couldn’t completely avoid the attacks of the Four Tiger Execution Sword.

“Kugh!”

“It’s one of two things. Either the Demon King of Flaga is weaker than I thought, or the real Demon King is already dead.”

The boss monster was powerful.

However, it wasn’t enough to make Se-un despair.

He had become stronger due to the Demon God Body, but even excluding that, the opponent’s martial power was at a level that was difficult to see as the original power of the previous Demon King.

“Yes, bound to the Abyss, my power has been consumed by the Abyss. But…”

The Demon King’s eyes turned black.

The waves of blood that had been rising from his body, including his claws, all turned black, and the ground of the deepest part of the Abyss writhed as if it were alive.

“This body has become the Abyss itself.”

He was no longer a Demon King.

The appearance he had shown at first was just a remnant left in the shell of the Demon King.

What occupied that shell was probably the ‘curse’ contained in the Abyss that the Demon King had first mentioned.

And Se-un was certain. That this Abyss was a space completely unrelated to the Outer Gods.

“I thought it was the most likely place.”

Se-un cut off the approaching tentacles.

The Demon King’s body seemed to be synchronizing with the curse of the Abyss, engulfed in a black wave.

“The enemy doesn’t wait for you to transform.”

– The Amnion of Lust covers you.

– The Amnion of Lust divides.

A doppelganger appeared next to Se-un.

Was it because his mental strength had increased with the Demon God Body? He could handle the tricky doppelganger a little more easily than before.

“Protect me.”

He entrusted all the tentacles to the doppelganger.

Meanwhile, Se-un infused white magic into Durandal.

– According to the mysteries of the White Tower, the elemental power of ‘Shining Shower’ increases.

As he imbued the sword with Shining Shower, which dropped meteor showers made of light crystals, the power of the Four Tiger Execution Sword contained in Durandal resonated.

White magic and the sword of banishment.

The two powers harmonized and created synergy, and even without swinging it, they extinguished the approaching tentacles.

“It would have been more difficult to fight if it were a living previous Demon King.”

The Abyss.

This curse lacked the skill that the previous Demon King would have possessed.

It only had the desire to constantly devour living things and grow its curse.

Just like an Outer God.

Se-un knew better than anyone how to deal with such an enemy.

Tap!

Perhaps thanks to the Demon God Body, the speed of enchanting 8th circle magic was much faster than before.

The tentacles tried to stop Se-un, who was rushing forward without hesitation, but they couldn’t easily approach as the power of white magic and banishment rippled like an aura.

“Do you think you can resist the curse of the abyss?”

The Demon King, now only a head, muttered with an arrogant expression just before being submerged in pitch-black darkness.

And Se-un obediently answered.

“Of course.”

– The sword that split the rock, Durandal, unleashes the energy of banishment dormant in the ‘Four Tiger Execution Sword.’

– Through the ‘Four Tiger Execution Sword,’ the Pushing Mountain Evil, Profound Severing Chastity is reproduced.

The energy of banishment manifested from the Four Tiger Execution Sword.

Compressed and compressed again, turning into an intense beam of light, the white magic pushing the energy of banishment, Shining Shower.

“The abyss is…!”

That power accurately pierced the darkness.

Accurately piercing the Demon King’s forehead, along with the darkness behind it.

Thud!

It pierced the bottom of the Abyss.

The power of the Shining Shower, compressed with the energy of banishment, exploded, and the bottom of the Abyss was stained with light.

“The deeper it gets, the darker it becomes…”

The deeper it gets, the darker it becomes.

The Demon King disappeared, leaving behind a cliché last word as if saying, ‘Let’s meet again next time.’ No, the curse of the Abyss was purified.

The forbidden area of Flaga.

The forbidden area that not even any demon dared to venture into was purified in an instant.

Thud.

A black orb fell above the spot where the Demon King had disappeared.

When he picked it up and examined it, the energy of a curse that was difficult to describe was swirling inside.

– The constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ twinkles its eyes.

– The constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ opens its mouth wide, saying that it has never seen such extremely condensed curse energy.

– The constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ offers you a deal.

‘A condensed mass of curses…’

Se-un was also seeing this item for the first time. That was because the Abyss itself was like a barrier that Se-un before regression could never challenge.

‘By the way…’

Se-un lowered his head and looked at the floor.

The deepest part of the Abyss.

A place called the abyss.

He thought that an Outer God would be sleeping here with the highest probability, but it wasn’t.

‘Should I wait for the Black-Winged Messenger?’

Still, he had entrusted the investigation of all the remaining suspicious places.

All of them were difficult to search, similar to the Abyss, to the point of being considered forbidden areas, but her skills should be enough to investigate.

It became easier to find the Outer Gods since he only had to visit the places they hadn’t investigated.

At that time.

Buzz-

“…The Mark of Destruction?”

Se-un’s Saintess’s Mark reacted.

Clearly, there was no Outer God in the depths of the Abyss.

Could it be that this wasn’t the deepest part, and a meteorite was embedded even deeper?

He suspected and placed his hand on the floor, but the Saintess’s Mark wasn’t reacting below.

“Above?”

The place where Se-un was currently located was the bottom of the Abyss, which could be said to be the lowest place in Flaga, so he couldn’t tell where it was pointing.

However, Se-un didn’t only have the power of the Saintess’s Mark.

The Mark of Destruction, which reacted to the Outer Gods, and Se-un’s unique skill, the Guidepost of the Journey, reacted and vaguely indicated the location where the Outer God had appeared.

“Here…!”

Whoosh-!

As soon as Se-un realized the location and was surprised, something fell from the sky at an incredible speed.

Something with black wings.

Normally, he would have immediately drawn his sword and been on guard, but Se-un recognized the identity at once and reached out both hands instead of his sword to grab it.

Even though the impact was great due to the acceleration of the fall, he managed to catch it somehow.

“What happened?”

“Ugh…”

It was the Black-Winged Messenger who had fallen.

He didn’t know how she knew Se-un’s location, and how urgent it was, but she had come down roughly blocking the curse of the Abyss that hadn’t completely dissipated with her wings, so all sorts of curses were invading her body.

Buzzing-

As a first aid measure, he released her curse, and her hand grabbed Se-un’s top.

“It appeared.”

“…The location?”

“Flaga. It’s attacking the downtown of Flaga.”

As expected, the results produced by the Saintess’s Mark and the Guidepost of the Journey were correct.

He hadn’t imagined that the Outer Gods would attack Flaga first. Before the regression, the Outer Gods hadn’t been active at all during this period.

In other words.

‘The future has changed.’

The cause is clear.

The Deposed King.

He was accelerating the Outer Gods’ invasion in earnest.
