Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 117

121

Se-Un opened his eyes about half a day later.

The first thing he saw was Yoo Seo-ah’s dozing face.

It seemed she had been watching over him while he was unconscious.

‘What happened?’

He had shattered the amethyst using Satyrus’s stigma and absorbed the divinity.

At first, it was bearable, but afterward, he had to endure pain as if he were being burned in hellfire.

He couldn’t tell what was happening before his eyes, and he just focused all his attention on enduring the pain.

Then, at the last moment, he remembered reaching out his right hand to the wolves bowing to him, and then his memory ended.

Se-Un, who had recalled this far, raised his right hand.

‘This is?’

The stigma of Satyrus was not there. The familiar goat horns had disappeared, and in their place were the ferocious fangs of a wolf drawn in red lines.

The stigma rippled with a red aura for a moment, as if recognizing Se-Un’s gaze.

Only then could Se-Un remember everything that had happened.

-The remnants of Pan in the ‘Stigma of Satyrus’ are completely absorbed into the owner’s tier.

The remnants of Pan that had disappeared.

That meant that this stigma was no longer a part of the tier stolen from Pan, but Se-Un’s own tier.

-The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bowed His Head,’ despairs as he watches the shattered amethyst.

-The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Jealousy,’ congratulates you on manifesting your own tier.

‘My own tier…….’

An achievement that even Se-Un before his regression had not achieved.

He manifested such an achievement on the 7th floor of the Tower.

Even though the powers of the two Demon Gods had supported him from the beginning, it was truly amazing.

While Se-Un was staring at the stigma on his right hand, Yoo Seo-ah, who had been dozing, opened her eyes and woke up.

“Se-Un! Are you okay?”

“As you can see, I’m fine.”

“What happened? I was surprised when you suddenly collapsed.”

“I gained power… or something? Anyway, everything’s fine, so you don’t have to worry.”

“I’m glad. I was so worried.”

“Thank you. Did anything happen?”

“No. I checked the clan chat, and some people were starting to finish the trial and move on to the next floor.”

“Anyone fail?”

“Not yet. And strangely, they said they couldn’t turn on the clan chat during the 7th floor trial.”

Se-Un and Yoo Seo-ah had entered a hidden trial, but the original trial was called ‘The Identity of the Mirage’.

It seemed they had blocked the use of clan chat as it was a trial to test the player’s patience.

This was information that Se-Un, who had not joined a clan before his regression, did not know.

‘My condition is…….’

He got up and circulated his circle [internal energy cultivation].

The mana-filled circle rotated powerfully. The same was true of his dantian [energy center].

The energy consumed in the battle with the scorpion had been fully restored.

“If you’re okay, I’m thinking of going straight to the next trial.”

“I’m fine. Are you sure you’re okay, Se-Un? You were just collapsed.”

“As you can see, I’m perfectly fine. I feel like I’ve had a good sleep.”

It wasn’t just to reassure her.

Perhaps because he had absorbed divinity, his body felt surprisingly lighter than before.

Besides, there was the newly formed stigma in the shape of a wolf’s fang. He wanted to check its power as soon as possible.

The next trial was the most appropriate for that.

“……Okay. Let’s go right away.”

Yoo Seo-ah took out her twin swords in advance, in case a battle broke out as soon as the trial started.

A smile was forming on Se-Un’s face as he chose the next trial.

Se-Un, who had always been expressionless because he knew what the trials of each floor were, was different now.

The newly changed stigma. And the expectation of using the second ability residing within it, the second potential of Se-Un’s epithet, the power of ‘Rage’, was already making his heart beat fast.

-Welcome to the 8th floor trial.

-Theme: Anthill in the Scorching Heat

-Time Limit: 10 hours

-You have discovered a giant anthill while traveling through the desert.

-The ants here are known to be a great danger to travelers in the area, and you and your companions decide to exterminate them.

-Defeat 100 or more ants within the time limit.

The hot sun beat down on his head.

Se-Un and Yoo Seo-ah had been in a cool crystal cave until just now, so it was hard to get used to the heat.

Since the 7th floor trial had changed, he wondered if the 8th floor trial might have changed as well, but the 8th floor trial was the same trial that Se-Un had experienced before his regression.

“That must be the anthill, right?”

“I guess so.”

“What kind of anthill is as big as an apartment building?”

Looking up, he saw the anthill, the theme of this trial.

The anthill, which was a darker brown than the desert, looked more like jagged rocks sticking out than a house.

If it weren’t for the holes in the middle, it would have been hard to think of it as an anthill.

However, the difference from ordinary anthills was its size.

As Yoo Seo-ah said, the anthill was about the size of an apartment building, which seemed to indirectly indicate the number and size of the ants.

He could see why the trial was to hunt only 100 ants, rather than destroying the anthill.

It was impossible for a 7th floor player to destroy that anthill in 10 hours.

“Should we hide inside for now? Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any guards…….”

“No, it’ll be harder to move around if we go inside.”

“Really?”

“It would be okay if we were just hunting one or two, but that’s not enough, is it?”

-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ nods vigorously, agreeing with your thoughts.

-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ gives you a thumbs up, saying you know how to eat.

The trial was just to hunt 100 ants, but Se-Un had no intention of stopping there.

It might be the system’s minimum consideration for the players, but Se-Un’s goal was to completely destroy that anthill.

No matter how hard he hunted in the passage, it was impossible to defeat all the ants in 10 hours.

So.

“Then how…….”

“We need to make them crawl out on their own.”

-The Treasure Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Fire Cannon ]

– A fire magic of the Fire Tower that fires extremely compressed high-temperature flames.

The shape of a cannon made of flames was created in front of Se-Un’s hand.

Fire Cannon.

As a 5th circle fire magic, it was the most powerful magic that Se-Un, a 5th circle user, could use.

The target was the center of the anthill.

Honestly, it didn’t matter much where he aimed. He didn’t think he could destroy the anthill with this one blow anyway.

As he concentrated his mana, the energy of the flames began to gather in front of the cannon.

It couldn’t even be compared to a Fireball.

The moment the cannonball, created by extremely condensing heat, was loaded into the cannon.

Kwaang!

The cannon spat out a red flame and fired the cannonball.

The heat was already scorching his skin due to the heatwave, and with the addition of the heat of the flames, the air shimmered greatly in the area.

Yoo Seo-ah raised her hand to protect her face from the heat, and at that moment, the cannonball flew and collided with the anthill.

A normal cannonball would end with an impact, but the Fire Cannon that Se-Un fired was a cannonball that had compressed extreme heat.

The impacted cannonball released the built-in heat.

Kwarururuk!

Kwaaaaang!!

A huge explosion occurred with the hot flames.

The explosion was so powerful that the aftershock, laden with heat, struck Se-Un and Yoo Seo-ah.

Se-Un was not greatly affected thanks to his basic magic resistance and Crystal Skin, but Yoo Seo-ah was different.

So, Se-Un used the ‘Templature’ magic he had used for her before to lower the surrounding temperature.

Part of the anthill where the explosion occurred collapsed.

The reaction appeared immediately.

Wiiiiing!

Winged ants flew out from under the wall that had been destroyed by the explosion.

They quickly darkened the sky, and even a rough estimate put their number at over several hundred.

Dudududu-

From the lowest part of the ant cave, worker ants emerged.

Among them were several soldier ants that were particularly large and had sharp teeth.

As befitting the size of the anthill, they were of a size that was hard to believe they were ants.

The size of one was about 1m.

They raised their heads and clashed their teeth threateningly to punish the enemy who had dared to destroy their home.

-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ shouts with joy, saying the table is about to break.

“Yoo Seo-ah, are you okay?”

“……I’ll try to keep up as much as possible.”

-The constellation, ‘The Crowned Spider,’ raises its front legs, saying it’s a good opportunity to use its fourth leg.

Dudududu!

Wiiiiing!

Hundreds of ants filled his vision and approached.

He wanted to sweep them away with magic right away, but he had the power to check.

The stigma on the back of his right hand emitted a blood-red light, completely different from the previous dark brown light.

It used to be quite difficult to manifest the power of the stigma, but now, just recognizing the stigma immediately manifested its power.

-The stigma reacts to the legend of the Blood Wolf.

-The second ability of the stigma, ‘Rage,’ awakens.

The red energy emanating from the stigma traveled up his wrist and surrounded Se-Un’s entire body.

He felt an overwhelming power throughout his body.

He wanted to swing his sword right away and tear the enemies in front of him to pieces.

A kind of Berserker state. No, if a berserker is usually in a state of losing judgment and being consumed by murderous intent, this was a higher-level ability in every way.

-Through internal energy, the fourth form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Howl, is enhanced.

Auoooo!

The internal energy flowing out through the dantian formed a huge wolf, and then howled loudly at the sun.

It wasn’t just for intimidation. The howl was mixed with sharp sword energy that was invisible to the eye.

The ants, who were running in the lead and flinched at the roar, were helplessly cut down without even thinking of blocking the sword energy.

Legs are severed, and abdomens explode.

Even if they blocked the sword energy, their teeth could not block Se-Un’s attack.

Se-Un, his whole body stained red, ran through their corpses towards the rear ranks.

Every time Durendal moved, their fluids soaked the sand of the desert.

What had become stronger was not only physical ability or internal energy.

-According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Lightning Wave’ is enhanced.

Pajijijik!
