Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 119
Episode 119
-According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Inferno’ is enhanced.
Terrifyingly hot flames shot from Se-un’s hand.
In response, the scorpion waved its pincers as if annoyed, then shot its tail, its body reddened.
The tail, shot sharply like a spear, pierced Se-un’s afterimage.
In terms of speed, Se-un was a bit slower, but its tail attack was too simple in movement.
There were no deceptive attacks, so if you predicted the attack well, you could narrowly avoid it.
After dodging the tail attack a couple of times, Se-un raised his other hand.
-According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Frozen Wave’ is enhanced.
Crack!
Contrary to the initial flames, this time, a chillingly cold aura swept in.
Its legs froze along with the ground, but just like the initial attack of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, it shattered all the ice by wriggling its body.
-The constellation, ‘Festival of Madness,’ laughs at your attack, saying that such magic doesn’t work on its crystal.
Dionysus’s ridicule was heard, but Se-un did not stop.
While dodging the scorpion’s attacks, he repeated attacks of fire and cold.
Its body repeatedly turned red and cooled down, with steam rising with a sizzling sound.
‘Fifth.’
Whoosh!
Sizzle-
As you can see, its magic resistance was quite high.
So, to show enough power to raise and lower the temperature, he had to consume quite a lot of mana.
Thanks to that, nearly 1/3 of his mana was already consumed, but there was no significant change.
But, he couldn’t stop.
Whoosh!
Sizzle-
Stop doubting and trust your plan.
Seventh.
Eighth.
……Fifteenth.
Se-un’s magic repeatedly manifested, and white steam billowed like clouds on the ceiling of the cavern.
Perhaps annoyed by Se-un’s elusive evasion, it unleashed a new attack.
“Tss, tss!”
Thud!
Its tail pierced the floor.
Se-un didn’t miss by dodging, but intentionally aimed for the floor, maximizing the crystal poison.
Immediately after, sharp crystal thorns sprang up from the floor in succession.
The thorns, which sprang out at an astonishing speed, filled the surroundings, and Se-un had no choice but to jump into the air to avoid them.
And at that moment, the scorpion extended its pincers towards Se-un.
The distance to it was about 5m, so it shouldn’t have reached, but Se-un felt a chilling sense of crisis.
Instinctively, he drew Durandal and blocked the front.
Clang!
“Kugh!”
A strong shock was felt through Durandal to his wrist.
He didn’t quite grasp the situation, but it seemed like it had revealed some special attack.
Until now, he had been paying attention only to close-range attacks and somehow avoiding them, but if these long-range attacks were repeated, it would be difficult to buy more time.
Judging so, Se-un squeezed out the remaining mana.
-According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Frozen Wave’ is enhanced.
Shiver!
A cold aura swept through the cavern.
As much as he squeezed out the remaining mana, its power was enough to make the movements of the creatures Yu Seo-ah was dealing with sluggish.
The scorpion facing Se-un also couldn’t easily shake off the ice this time.
While trying to pull out its legs frozen to the floor, its heated body cooled down, and a small sound was heard only to Se-un.
Crackle-
‘It worked!’
A crack appeared.
It was so subtle that it was hard to find with the eyes, but a crack finally appeared in its otherwise perfect body.
“Tss, tss, tss!”
Did it realize the abnormality in its body?
It moved its body greatly, unlike anything before, and shook off the ice in an instant.
Clang, clang!
Following that, it swung its pincers and repeatedly launched the long-range attack it had shown a little while ago.
It was as if it was cutting through the air and shooting out sharp winds.
‘Last!’
Mana was already completely exhausted.
So, Se-un chose another method.
Click.
The weapon he drew this time was not Durandal.
Dragon Fang Spear.
It was one of the many weapons made from Drake’s materials for Se-un by Go Chang-seok.
A spear is more effective than a sword to accurately attack cracks that are hard to find with the eye.
In addition, Se-un added the hot heat to help the transformation so far.
-The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.
[ Hwacheom Spear, the Spear of the Great Emperor of Fiery Light ]
– Originally a weapon used by the Great Emperor of Fiery Light, but later used as a treasure by Nata, one of the guardian deities, a fire-breathing spear.
Kwararargh!
With the power of the Hwacheom Spear imbued, fierce flames blazed from the spear Se-un was holding.
The flames synergized with Se-un’s Violet Energy Divine Art, becoming even hotter with yang energy.
Perhaps sensing a crisis?
The scorpion, which had been recklessly swinging its pincers, shuddered and stepped back a little.
However, Se-un quickly closed the distance, making its retreat futile.
“Ts, tss!”
Even though it was an extremely small crack, could it recognize the crack in its body?
It lowered its tail, covering the crack on its side, and cowered.
Even so, its sparkling eyes did not miss Se-un’s movements.
As if determined to grab you with its pincers and pierce your heart with its tail once this attack is over.
Se-un, who had closed the distance in an instant, at the moment he reached the scorpion’s side.
Thud!
“Tss……!”
He rotated the spear shaft and slammed down on its tail.
The power of the Hwacheom Spear was not just to create flames on the spear. As befitting a legendary treasure, it amplified the power of the spear several times over.
Until now, Se-un had difficulty even staggering its legs, but this attack was enough to slam its tail into the ground.
Naturally, the crack hidden by the tail was revealed.
Thud.
He was able to accurately insert the tip of the spear into the gap of the crack, smaller than a fingernail.
Realizing that its body would shatter the moment it moved, it stopped moving.
In that moment, time seemed to have stopped.
-The constellation, ‘Festival of Madness,’ throws down its glass, saying this is absurd.
-The constellation, ‘Festival of Madness,’ tries to inflict divine punishment on you.
-The Tower’s Administration interferes with the ‘Festival of Madness.’
-The Tower’s Administration presents a warrant to the ‘Festival of Madness.’
-The Tower’s Administration temporarily restricts the system authority of the ‘Festival of Madness.’
-The constellation, ‘Festival of Madness,’ lets out an angry roar.
Smirk.
A smile spread across Se-un’s face.
Even if it was Dionysus, one of the 12 gods of Olympus, and not another god, who was being punished, the level would not be too high.
But, this will make it difficult to interfere with the floor for the time being.
After checking the message, Se-un drew internal energy from his dantian [energy center in the body, according to traditional Chinese medicine].
-According to the mysteries of the Violet Energy Divine Art, heat is added to the martial art.
Kwararargh!
The flames that started from the tip of the spear covered the scorpion’s entire body.
The moment Se-un put strength into his legs and pushed the spear in, rotating the tip half a turn.
Crack, crack!!
The crack could not withstand the impact and began to split at a rapid pace.
It raised its tail towards Se-un to resist in any way possible, but just before that tail reached Se-un.
Clang!
The crack spread to the carapace [protective shell] of the tail, and the tail, which had been as beautiful as a jewel, shattered like glass.
-You have defeated the hidden boss monster on the 7th floor, ‘Crystal Guardian.’
-Your level has increased.
-Your level has increased.
-Personal contribution increases by 200,000 points.
Fss-
The spear Se-un was holding disappeared along with the flames.
Even if it was a weapon made by Go Chang-seok, it was difficult to withstand the power of the treasure.
Unless it was a weapon with durability comparable to Durandal, it would not be able to withstand the power of the treasure.
It was a bit of a waste, but killing the scorpion was worth more than the Dragon Fang Spear.
Se-un immediately used the Authority of Gluttony for Beelzebub, who was busy sending messages since the scorpion fell.
Crunch, crunch!
The white fangs bit into the fragments more strongly than before.
The surface of the scorpion, which Durandal couldn’t even scratch, gradually crumbled.
-‘Crystal Guardian’ has been devoured.
-Absorbing nutrients increases the level of ‘Stone Skin’ by one stage.
-‘Stone Skin’ evolves into ‘Crystal Skin,’ greatly increasing not only physical defense but also magic resistance.
‘Oh?’
Stone Skin, which he obtained after defeating Stone Lava, was a type of passive skill that increased physical defense.
That power evolved through this devouring, increasing even magic resistance.
As the level of monsters increases while climbing the tower, the number of monsters using magic also increases.
Right now, he is somehow avoiding all attacks, but as he climbs the tower, it will be impossible to avoid all attacks.
So, the Crystal Skin he acquired this time was a greater benefit than an increase in any ordinary stat.
-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is satisfied, filling its mouth with large crystals.
-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ vows to melt it slowly and cherish it.
-The sound of ‘Waduk, crunch!’ flows from the mouth of the constellation, ‘Hungry Prince.’
Se-un shook his head at Beelzebub’s consistent reaction.
Meanwhile, Yu Seo-ah, who had already cleared all the creatures, approached Se-un and spoke.
“You worked hard.”
“What? It’s thanks to you that I was able to focus only on that guy.”
“I didn’t even end up joining [the main fight].”
The number of creatures was roughly over 50 just by looking at them.
To defeat such guys without a single wound in this short amount of time was quite an amazing feat.
This battle consumed mana to the point of being precarious in order to create cracks.
So, if she had missed a creature and Se-un had wasted even a little mana, it would have been quite difficult to face the scorpion.
-You have successfully completed the hidden 7th floor trial, ‘Saha’s Crystal Cave.’
-Total accumulated contribution points: 600,000 points
-Congratulations! You have passed the 7th floor trial in 1st place.
-Acquired 100,000 points as a reward.
It wasn’t a fake system message created by the administrator’s intervention earlier.
The true passage of the trial.
Considering that you usually get around 200,000 contribution points even when conquering a hidden quest on one floor, the contribution points earned this time were surprisingly outstanding.
‘Well, that scorpion wasn’t originally at the level of a monster that comes out on the 7th floor.’
Yu Seo-ah also seemed to have earned high contribution points, though not as much as Se-un.
Perhaps the difference was due to the contribution of hunting the scorpion, but even so, she said she achieved 3rd place in the ranking.
Perhaps because it was the first time she had entered the rankings, she seemed quite surprised.
Meanwhile, Se-un was quietly looking at the surrounding amethyst.
‘Now what do I do with these?’
Leaving them here would only return them to Dionysus’s hands when he comes back later.
Even if that’s not the case, the administration will probably collect the amethyst along with punishing Dionysus.
Wouldn’t it be better to offer them to Mammon instead?
While thinking about trading for Mammon’s warehouse again, just in case.
Woooong!
The stigma of Satyrus on Se-un’s right hand began to react.
