Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 126

The 130th Episode

‘The target is wrong?’

Eight sand pillars immediately writhed, tightening around Seun’s neck, but he urgently created distance, quickly scanning his surroundings.

Sand walls surrounded him, sand pillars soared, and a sorcerer wore a subtly sinister smile.

No matter how much he looked around, there were no other enemies besides the sorcerer.

Then, a sculpture displaying a noble figure on the sand dune caught his eye.

The sculpture, toward which the sorcerer was offering prayers, remained untainted even amidst the thick sand dust.

Moreover, its unique black luster had intensified since he first saw it.

‘Could it be?’

-The constellation, ‘Serpent Who Encircles Envy,’ nods.

He could be certain with Leviathan’s reaction.

What was manifesting power before his eyes was the sorcerer, but the true source of power was…

-The eyes of Envy begin to fixate on the ‘Swallowed Statue.’

It wasn’t the sorcerer, but the statue on the hill.

As if to prove it, the sorcerer’s relaxed expression vanished as soon as the target of the authority changed.

“You! How dare you commit such immoral acts against the great absolute being!”

Kwakwakwakwa!

The existing eight sand pillars doubled in number, engulfing Seun.

However, that sight only brought Seun conviction.

‘The attack target isn’t that sorcerer either, but the statue.’

Thinking so, Seun broke through the sand pillars and ran toward the statue.

“Where do you think you’re going with that filthy body toward the absolute being!”

A sand wall, like a barrier, rose around the statue.

Not stopping there, the sorcerer grabbed his staff and charged at Seun.

The composure was already gone, and urgency was evident on his face. It was a natural reaction since his weakness had been exposed.

-The eyes of Envy are jealous of the power of the ‘Swallowed Statue.’

-Steals the unknown energy.

…

The sand wall blocked Seun’s charge, but it couldn’t block the Authority of Envy.

A strange power he had never felt before filled Seun’s body with an unknown force.

The sorcerer looked flustered, and the Authority of Envy was beginning to manifest in earnest.

Now was the time to make his move.

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

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

Seun’s stigma emitted a red light.

It seemed darker than usual for some reason, but he felt an even stronger power than usual.

His eyes took on the fierce look of a wild beast, and his fangs protruded sharply like those of a werewolf.

-Through internal energy, the third stance of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Assault, is enhanced.

-According to the mysteries of the Violet Cloud Divine Art, heat is added to the martial art.

He had realized one thing when he used the power of Rampage on the previous floor.

He didn’t know why, but among the various martial arts Seun possessed, the Blood Wolf Sword Technique was particularly suited to the Rampage state.

There, the mysteries of the Violet Cloud Divine Art, which had grown stronger due to the surrounding heat, heated Durendal.

Several sand pillars tried to swallow Seun, but with a single swing of his sword, the pillars lost their power and collapsed as if by magic.

“N, no way!”

As the sand pillars collapsed, the next thing that came was a giant wave.

A tsunami made of sand.

The view in front was covered in gold, and a tsunami was rising from behind as well.

He would have tried to find a way to avoid it as much as possible before using the power of Rampage, but it was different now.

-Through internal energy, the fourth stance of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Roar, is enhanced.

-According to the mysteries of the Violet Cloud Divine Art, heat is added to the martial art.

Awooooo-

As Seun swung his sword horizontally, the howling of a hungry wolf erupted, creating a shockwave.

Hundreds, thousands of sword energies spread out in the name of Roar, leaving countless wounds on the tsunami.

No matter how giant the sand tsunami was, it couldn’t withstand it since its supports had been cut off.

Behind the crumbling sand grains, the sorcerer’s face, which seemed closer to fear than urgency, was revealed.

At that moment, Seun’s stigma, which had been shining with the power of Rampage, revealed its light once again.

-The Satyr’s stigma reacts to the legend of the Blood Wolf.

-The first ability of the stigma, ‘Fear,’ awakens.

The power of the stigma maximized the fear that the sorcerer was faintly feeling.

The thought of ‘maybe’ became ‘perhaps,’ and the thought of ‘perhaps’ became despair.

He desperately steadied his trembling legs and raised his staff.

“I, it’s no use! At least no one can beat me here!”

Was it a difference in will? Or was the power of that statue backing him up with mental strength as well?

Even with the power of Fear being applied, the sorcerer did not collapse at once.

The trembling that traveled through his hand and continued to his staff, causing the vibrations to not stop, but he was not giving up.

A sand giant rose from the spot where the tsunami had passed.

Around it, the sand pillars that he had seen for the first time wriggled and rose, and a new sand tsunami was approaching from the outside.

Judging from his panting appearance, it seemed like this was his best attack.

However, Seun was not flustered. He was just staring at the sorcerer with calm eyes.

“This is the end! This is my victory! I will personally kill you and destroy Scavenger!”

Sand giant?

Sand pillar?

Now, none of that mattered.

Everywhere he looked was full of sand, and he felt like the whole world was covered in sand.

There was nowhere to escape, and even if he swung his sword, new sand attacks would follow.

But why?

At this most dangerous moment, Seun was able to wear a more comfortable smile than ever before.

Feeling a sense of crisis, the sorcerer swung his staff with all his might, and the sand giants powerfully threw their fists.

Seun did not take any defensive stance, and at the moment when the huge fist approached, creating wind pressure.

Crack!

In the noisy battlefield, a sound that particularly rang in his ears was heard.

A sound like something very hard breaking.

Thud.

At the same time, all the attacks surrounding Seun, including the sand giants and pillars, collapsed.

Only thick sand fog remained, proving the tremendous attack.

The sorcerer looked at the source of the sound with shaking pupils.

And there.

“I, I succeeded!”

Yasha, who had plunged her sword into the statue of the absolute being, shouted her success to Seun with a stiff expression.

* * *

The plan began just before Seun entered the Rampage state.

-Yasha, can you hear me?

“Yes. …Is this also magic?”

-Don’t open your mouth, just answer with your thoughts.

‘Like this…?’

-Yes.

Telepathy.

It was one of the magics that Seun hadn’t used often since he started using the clan chat.

Upon hearing those words, Yasha quietly nodded.

After all, the sorcerer was so focused on Seun that he wasn’t even looking at her.

-His main body is that statue. Can you see it?

‘Yes.’

-If I approach, that sorcerer will desperately try to stop me. If he only focuses on defense, it will be difficult even for me to break through.

‘I understand. That’s my role.’

-Yes. I’ll draw his attention, so somehow get close to the statue and hit it once.

‘Understood.’

Immediately after finishing the conversation, Seun ran towards the statue.

As planned, the sorcerer panicked and drew out all his power, and a sand wall formed around the statue.

A fierce battle ensued.

Sand grains scattered everywhere, and sunlight was obscured by sand dust.

The writhing earth and the encroaching tsunami were threatening scenes several times, even though they were not targeting her.

Fortunately, the sorcerer’s gaze was fixed solely on Seun. Thanks to that, Yasha was able to move around the barrier and reach the back of the statue.

‘I’ve arrived.’

-Well done.

‘But I can’t get any closer because of the sand wall.’

-A gap will open soon.

Kwaaaa!

Centered on the sorcerer, a sand giant rose, and sand pillars soared. A sand tsunami swept in from all directions, obscuring the sky.

It was already a great attack, but it was an attack that easily surpassed those.

From the sorcerer’s point of view, it was clearly an attack that drew out all his power.

Was that why? The solid sand wall that had been protecting the statue began to lose its power.

When the sorcerer began to move the sand giant in earnest, the sand wall cracked, creating a large gap.

Yasha did not miss that moment.

Woong!

She raised the sword that she had been training with every day to protect the South Gate.

She created sword energy to sharpen the blade as much as possible and stepped forward with her right foot.

Calming her breath, she swung the sword full of weight with force.

Crack!

Fortunately, the unfortunate event of the sword bouncing off did not occur.

Originally, even an attack with sword energy would have been impossible to wound the statue imbued with unknown power.

However, now, the sorcerer had not only used the power of the statue to the extreme, but its power had also been significantly drained by the Authority of Envy.

Thanks to that, half of the sword blade was able to penetrate the statue.

Thud.

Not only the sand wall that protected the statue, but also all the attacks that the sorcerer was causing collapsed.

In between, the sorcerer’s eyes, looking this way with shaking pupils, came into view.

“I, I succeeded!”

“How dare you!!”

The first to react to Yasha’s cry was the sorcerer.

He solidified sand grains to create a spear shape to attack Yasha.

Perhaps because of the cracked statue, the end of the spear shaft was flimsy and did not look normal, but its killing power seemed sufficient.

Her attack could temporarily shock the power of the statue, but she could not completely destroy that power with this level of attack.

As she was trying to somehow muster strength and smash the statue, Seun’s voice penetrated her head.

-Get out of the way.

Questions arose, but her body reacted immediately upon hearing those words.

She was a thorough soldier, and it was a reaction that was possible because she unknowingly recognized Seun as a higher being than herself, that is, a superior.

Pububuk!

The sand spear that the sorcerer threw was stuck in the spot where she had been.

If she had been even a little late in avoiding it, her body would have been pierced before she could attack the statue one more time.

Just before the sorcerer launched his next attack.

Seun, who had raised his sword high as if it would reach the sun, unleashed a single strike.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Sword of Flames, Flamberge ] – A sword used by Renaud de Montauban, one of Charlemagne’s twelve paladins, with a flickering flame pattern engraved on the blade.

Perhaps because of the flame pattern that looked hot just by looking at it?

The highly raised sword burned red as if it contained the power of the sun.

That heat was emitted along with the single sword strike, and it moved in a straight line toward the statue like a dazzling ray of sunlight.

“Noooo!”

There was no time to raise a sand wall.

The sorcerer hurriedly threw his body, but the flame was not satisfied with just swallowing him.

Like that.

Kwarururuk!

Along with the sorcerer’s scream, the ‘Swallowed Statue’ began to melt away.
