Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 150

154

The blood-red sky split open.

The sight of the clouds cracking apart was as cruel as an open wound.

From within the gaping wound, a blood-red liquid gurgled and flowed out.

Splashing onto the ground, it exuded a chilling aura and regained its original form.

A Satyr [a creature that is part human and part goat].

Its upper body was human, but its lower half was a goat. A massive horn protruded from its head, and its red pupils were stretched horizontally.

Pan was undoubtedly one of the prominent deities of Olympus, but his current appearance made him seem more like a demon than a god.

“So, you managed to figure out that I am the master of this place!”

“You’re the only Constellation crazy enough to do something like this.”

“Khehehe, indeed! The other Constellations are all holed up in their rooms. Who else but I, Pan… !”

“You seem to have misunderstood. It’s not a compliment. It seems your intelligence is as bestial as your appearance.”

“Kuaaaa! You bastard!”

Pan stomped the ground with his thick hooves.

Each time, the ground caved in, and vibrations spread through the earth. The space itself seemed to fluctuate with his emotions.

“Even in this situation, you haven’t come to your senses!”

“You know that interfering with the Tower to this extent will make it difficult for you to return to your position as a Constellation, right?”

“Khehehe, what do you take me for? I am the son of Zeus, the king of Olympus!”

“The one who threw you in prison?”

“Shut up! If I kill you and correct this disgrace, Father will look upon me again!”

Pan’s eyes were filled with madness.

Instead of reflecting while locked in prison, he seemed to have been deceiving himself and rationalizing his actions.

That delusion had become extreme, leading him to this situation.

“So, die for me. Vomit out all the divinity you stole from me!”

“Meeeeee!”

With Pan’s cry, the stopped livestock charged again.

Se-woon had been thinking that the number of livestock was decreasing, but with Pan’s appearance, hundreds of new livestock appeared.

‘Pan’s Sanctuary, huh.’

It seemed that this place was not the 15th floor but a sanctuary created by Pan.

A sanctuary was the optimal place for a Constellation to exert its power.

He must have been thoroughly preparing his revenge while in prison, just for this moment.

‘He should have spent that time reflecting.’

Poong!

A goat that had come right up to him bleated loudly and burst into pieces.

Se-woon unfolded his barrier again to block it, but with Pan’s appearance, the livestock’s attacks had also changed.

Pajik!

A cow rammed Se-woon’s barrier with its blunt horns.

Instead of simply throwing themselves and exploding, they added a direct attack pattern of ramming with their heads.

The shield had been withstanding the wide-range explosions well, but it was difficult to block such physical attacks where the point of impact was concentrated.

Se-woon retracted the shield and created distance while preparing a new magic.

– According to the mysteries of the Crimson Tower, the casting speed of ‘Inferno’ is increased.

– According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Inferno’ is strengthened.

To manifest magic, a casting time is fundamentally required.

The stronger the magic, the longer the casting time, creating a momentary gap while preparing the magic.

But Se-woon’s magic no longer had such a thing. Or rather, it existed, but the time was extremely short.

This was the new circle obtained by modifying the third circle through the Lord of the Swamp.

The power of the Purple Circle, and the power of the mysteries of the Crimson Tower.

Hwareureureuk!

“Muo-oooo-”

Wasn’t the best defense a good offense?

Hot flames covered the meadow.

No matter how much Pan ruled over the livestock, they were just beasts in the face of the blazing flames.

The brown grass burned, gradually increasing the range.

Naturally, the livestock could no longer charge at Se-woon.

At that moment…

“Khehehehe, you’ve grown a lot in the meantime!”

Kang!!

Pan flew through the flames and swung his thick hooves.

Because his vision was obscured by the flames, he would have suffered a fatal blow if he hadn’t instinctively drawn Durandal [Se-woon’s sword].

Even then, he had only managed to block it in a hurry, and because he hadn’t properly utilized his inner energy, Se-woon was pushed back greatly.

Incredible power.

If it had been an ordinary weapon instead of Durandal, it would have immediately reached the end of its lifespan and broken.

“Try to struggle! That’s what makes it so satisfying to trample on you! Keuhehahaha!”

Kang, Kang!

Utilizing the mysteries of Tai Chi, he diverted the power contained in the hooves, and twisted his body as much as possible with Nichugong to evade the attacks.

But he couldn’t find any room to counterattack.

He was barely managing to avoid them.

Even if he was a low-ranking Constellation, even if his rank had fallen further due to Se-woon, and he was stuck in the prison of Olympus, the opponent was still a Constellation of Olympus.

He had forcibly descended to the floor against his will, and his power had been further reduced, but even so, he was not an enemy that Se-woon could handle in his current state.

“Khehehaha! That’s right, this is it. Without the help of the Demon Gods, you’re only this much! You’re just a mere human!”

– The Constellation, ‘### ## ###’ spits out #### to ### # #.

– The Constellation, ‘### ## ###’ requests ### ## from #’s ###.

– The Constellation, ‘### ## ###’ draws ##’s ##.

Noisy messages with a lot of static faintly appeared before his eyes, but it seemed impossible to receive help from the Constellations.

Now, he had no choice but to overcome the situation with his own strength.

And…

“I think you’re misunderstanding something.”

“What?”

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ The Sword that Slew the Fire Dragon, Arondight ]

– As the sword of Lancelot of the Round Table [a knight in the Arthurian legend], he is said to have slain a fire dragon with this sword to save a princess.

Seogeok.

“Y-You crazy! This is!”

The moment Durandal momentarily flickered red, Se-woon did not miss the momentary gap created by Pan’s bewilderment and swung his sword.

He couldn’t inflict a fatal blow, but he was able to make a thin scratch on the monster’s horn.

It was an attack from Durandal imbued with the power of Arondight, yet it was only a scratch.

He was disgusted by that unbelievable defense, but Se-woon’s attack was not over.

Kwareureureuk!

“Keuhak!”

Hot flames erupted from the small scratch on Pan’s horn.

The Sword that Slew the Fire Dragon, Arondight. True to its name, Arondight contained the power of the fire dragon it had slain in the past.

Pan, who had not expected such an attack at all, covered his eyes from the heat emanating from his horn and rolled on the floor.

The livestock that had been panicking around him threw themselves to put out Pan’s fire, but the flames did not go out easily.

Then, a few of the livestock raised one leg as if they were taking out a last resort.

Chiik-

They extinguished the flames by spewing yellow water from between their legs.

“No way! Even if you are a Demon God, your authority shouldn’t be able to influence this place!”

It was natural that Pan had not expected this attack.

This place was Pan’s sanctuary. It was a space where even the system had difficulty interfering, so the authority that the Constellations had given to the players could not be brought in either.

So, Pan had not expected Se-woon to unleash the authority of Greed in this situation at all.

“That’s what I said. It’s a misunderstanding.”

“Are you saying that’s your power! That can’t be! A mere human! And a low-level human like you is wielding authority!”

“Believe it or not, it’s your choice, but…”

– Through inner energy, the second form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Fang, is enhanced.

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

Now was the chance, while Pan was flustered.

Se-woon rushed forward to unleash a follow-up attack.

According to the mysteries of the Violet Cloud Divine Art, the power of Arondight imbued in Durandal emitted even hotter heat.

“My power is real.”

Kaang!

Even though he was flustered, a Constellation was still a Constellation.

Pan hurriedly raised his hooves to block Se-woon’s attack.

Again, he could only make a small scratch, but again, hot flames soared from within.

“Do you think I’ll be caught twice!”

Puk!

Pan shoved his split hooves into the ground.

No matter how fierce Arondight’s flames were, it could not spew fire in that state.

“I was going to play with you until you were terrified and then kill you, but I can’t stand your arrogance!”

– Pan manifests the authority of Fear.

– All life in the sanctuary except for Pan falls into fear!

Pan’s body grew rapidly.

In an instant, he transformed into a giant over 5m tall, his muscles became firm, and his hooves became thicker. His horns twisted and revealed a sharp appearance, and dark brown fur grew wildly.

An ordinary player would have been terrified and knelt down at the sight of that appearance, but Se-woon was different.

– The Stigmata devours Pan’s fear.

– By devouring overwhelming fear, the epithet of Blood Wolf is strengthened.

To Se-woon, who had awakened the authority of Fear just like Pan, fear was no longer an attack.

Rather, because of the characteristic of devouring fear, it had become a means of providing Se-woon with power.

As Se-woon’s Stigmata glowed red, Pan became even more enraged and twitched his eyes.

“How dare you corrupt my divinity into such a filthy form!”

Pan charged.

As his hooves kicked the ground, the earth exploded as if a bomb had gone off.

As Pan ran with his horns forward, the air could not withstand it and was pushed back, and a hideous sonic boom was heard.

Even Se-woon could not block such an attack.

Even if he made use of the mysteries of the Tai Chi Sword, there was a limit to diverting the power, and even if he used Nichugong, it was not an attack that he could evade.

Then?

He just needed to become capable of evading that attack.

– The Stigmata reacts to the tale of the Blood Wolf Legend.

– The second ability of the Stigmata, ‘Rage,’ awakens.

Kwang!

He used the power of Rage to push his strength to the limit.

That didn’t mean he was capable of properly facing Pan. He could barely withstand the monster’s attack.

Even though he was using Mammon’s treasures, this was Se-woon’s limit.

No matter how degraded he was and forcibly descended to the lower floors, a Constellation was a Constellation.

He manifested magic to the point where his circles overheated, and he used martial arts until his dantian [energy center] was about to explode.

The light of the Stigmata was quickly fading because he had pushed his divinity to the limit.

‘If I could use the authority of Jealousy…!’

Unlike the authorities of Greed and Gluttony, which he had obtained through opportunities in his previous life, the authority of Jealousy was a power that he was borrowing from Leviathan in this life.

It was impossible to borrow the authority of Jealousy in this place where the intervention of the Constellations was impossible.

The authority of Gluttony was not a power that could be used in this situation in the first place.

“Khehehaha! No matter how great you are, how can you stand against a god!”

– The Constellation, ‘### ## ###’ ##s ### to Geon# Jin ##.

– The Constellation, ‘### ## ###’ requests ##’s ### from #’s ##so.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows Its Head’ ##s the law of causality.

His whole body was burning hot.

The circles, the dantian, and the Stigmata had all reached their limits.

He tried to exploit an opening using the authority of Greed, but no matter how much he continued the confrontation, no opening appeared.

Attacks didn’t work, and even if he blocked the attacks, injuries accumulated. But, he didn’t give up.

The Tower’s system was strict with rules and regulations.

It would not stand idly by while a monster like him violated the system and interfered with the floor.

He believed that if he just bought time until the system responded, he could overcome this situation.

“Kheheheha! It’s over now! I will trample on you, enter Father’s embrace, and ascend to the realm of the gods!”

A brown aura flickered like flames from Pan’s horns.

He planted his four hooves on the ground like a beast, then scratched the ground with his hind legs and snorted.

A following charge.

That charge seemed to tear apart space itself.

The space around Pan distorted, and he ignored the concepts of time and space and approached Se-woon right in front of him.

He drew all the power from his body and focused it on his weapon.

He couldn’t give up like this. He would definitely survive and tear that damn ram apart.

Just before the giant ram’s horns collided with Se-woon’s body, leaving a brown trail.

– #’s #liso approves ‘Crow Who Bows Its Head’’s ##.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows Its Head’ descends.

Chwareureureuk!

Kkwak!

“Keuheuk! What is this!”

Pan’s body was bound by black chains that rose from the floor, and he slumped to the ground.

“How dare a bug that doesn’t even know its place touch ‘Mine.’ Are you ready to be punished?”

A black-haired woman fluttered the wings of a giant crow and looked down at Pan with contempt.
