I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Chapter 162

Chapter 162

– Welcome to the 17th Floor Trial.

– Theme: Awakened Ice Giant

– Time Limit: 10 hours

– The frozen giant standing at the gathering point has awakened.

– Join forces with your companions to defeat the awakened Ice Giant.

The first theme, Spring, tests patience.

The second theme, Summer, tests wisdom.

The third trial, Autumn, tests ability.

And the fourth trial, Winter, tests ‘cooperation.’

“Kuaaaaak!”

The giant, awakened from the ice, let out a powerful roar.

With that, the members of the Diablo Clan quickly prepared for battle.

Before the 17th Floor Trial began, Yoo Seo-ah had noticed the anomaly arising from the frozen giant and predicted the trial in advance.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

Ice Giant.

As the trial itself was designed to be challenged by a clan, this monster’s power was truly immense.

Its physical abilities rivaled the crocodile encountered in the 10th Floor Trial, and on top of that, it used unique ice magic.

Furthermore, its high intelligence made it excellent at making judgments, and its skill in handling giant ice pillars was incomparable to monsters that simply swung their claws.

Even now, it had only let out a roar, but the Diablo Clan members’ bodies momentarily froze.

The fear emanating from its mighty power.

That fear momentarily clouded the judgment of the victims.

If the giant swung its pillar in this state, injuries would occur in rapid succession without any chance to respond.

And at that moment.

– The stigma devours the Ice Giant’s fear, enhancing your power.

– By devouring fear, the Blood Wolf title is enhanced.

A red light flickered in the sky, and the fear completely disappeared.

Yoo Seo-ah, as well as the others, could immediately guess the reason.

“Se-un!”

A man approaching with snow-white wings spread like snowflakes falling from the sky.

It was Se-un.

Se-un was flying while maintaining the extreme speed he had accelerated to in order to pass the 16th Floor Trial.

He had poured all his magic into his wings, so the mana inside his circle was already completely empty.

Even in that situation, Se-un was rather smiling.

‘I can test it right away.’

The 17th Floor boss monster, Ice Giant.

A monster known to have slaughtered countless players, but to Se-un, it just seemed like a good test subject.

‘A spear would be better than a sword.’

Thanks to pouring mana into his wings to the point where his circle was empty, Se-un’s speed was now like a meteor.

To pour that power out as it was, it was better to use a spear than a sword.

Se-un took out Achilles’ spear, Apelion, and pulled it close to his chest.

Thrusting the spear forward, it felt as if he himself had become an arrow.

In that state, Se-un drew out the maximum amount of Yin energy [passive, cold-aspected energy] he had accumulated with the Millennium Snow Ginseng and Ice Jade Divine Art.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Ice Dragon Spear Technique ]

– The only spear technique existing in the Northern Sea Ice Palace, it is said that the sight of wielding the spear with the cold air of the Northern Sea at its tip resembles a dragon.

Since it was Yin energy built up with the Ice Jade Divine Art of the Northern Sea Ice Palace, he thought it would be better to use a martial art of the same kind if possible.

As the internal energy flowed through the spear shaft, cold air frosted at the tip of the spear, creating transparent and sharp ice.

But this wasn’t the end.

Since he was going to test his internal energy, he intended to do it properly.

Se-un sent all the internal energy remaining in his dantian [energy center] into the spear shaft.

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Ice Dragon Spear Technique, Ice Dragon Descent, is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Ice Jade Divine Art, cold air is added to the martial art.

As Yin energy was added, frost formed not only at the tip of the spear but also from the spear shaft, through Se-un’s hands, and down to his toes.

As a chilling cold flowed out, a white trail formed behind Se-un.

Crackling!

The cold air wasn’t satisfied with just emitting coldness; it became the form of an ice dragon and surrounded Se-un.

The ice dragon falling, leaving a white trail.

It was truly the martial art of Ice Dragon Descent itself.

“Kuaaaaak!”

Although the explanation was long, the time it took for the ice dragon to manifest was instantaneous.

The Ice Giant was still roaring and hadn’t even picked up its pillar.

The Ice Giant belatedly discovered Se-un’s presence and reached out to grab the pillar, but Se-un piercing the Ice Giant’s chest came first.

Thwack!

The Ice Giant didn’t even have time to react before a hole was pierced through its chest, stopping its roar and causing it to lower its head.

It stared blankly at the wound, as if it hadn’t yet grasped the situation.

Then, belatedly feeling the pain, it raised its hand to stop the bleeding, but…

Crack.

The cold air that had already spread through the giant’s entire body through the wound was freezing the giant from its shoulders to its fingertips.

It tried to resist death by letting out a powerful roar, but it was already too late.

Thus, the giant, not even a minute after awakening, once again became frozen as before.

With a hole pierced through its chest.

Even if it were to awaken again, only death would greet it.

“Hoo……”

As soon as Se-un came out of the giant’s body, he gathered his internal energy and landed lightly on the ground.

His wings had already disappeared because his mana was depleted.

Because he had to expend more mana than he thought, he planned to refrain from taking out Icarus’s Wings as much as possible in the future.

More than that…….

‘It’s better than expected.’

The power of the martial art unleashed by pouring in 4 cycles of internal energy was tremendous.

He had instantly killed the Ice Giant, which was said to be barely defeated by a clan, alone with just one attack.

There was no need to take out Mammon’s Relic like other times.

He could realize once again how great 4 cycles of internal energy was.

‘Well, with 4 cycles, it’s the amount of energy you’d have to circulate for 240 years with ordinary mental cultivation techniques.’

Of course, it doesn’t actually take that long to accumulate 4 cycles of internal energy.

Unlike the early days when the concept of cycles was created, the speed of accumulating internal energy has also increased as mental cultivation techniques with good efficiency have emerged.

Even so, the speed at which Se-un accumulated internal energy was extremely unrealistic.

Achieving 4 cycles without even reaching the 20th floor.

No player in the Tower had ever achieved such a feat.

– You have excellently completed the 17th Floor Trial, ‘Awakened Ice Giant.’

– Calculating contribution points…….

– Remaining time: 9 hours 59 minutes.

– Total accumulated contribution points: 200,000 points

– Congratulations! You have passed the 17th Floor Trial in 1st place.

– You have acquired 100,000 points as a reward.

The 17th Floor Trial ended in less than a minute.

Due to the extremely fast clear time, the score was naturally 1st place.

Moreover, it seemed that many bonus points were added because it was an achievement made solely by himself without the help of others.

‘It’s hard…….’

Not only did he use all his mana to fly here quickly, but his internal energy was also almost depleted due to the attack just now.

Because the 16th Floor Trial was so urgent, mental stress had also accumulated, and extreme fatigue rushed in at once.

“Se-un!”

He stuck the spear into the ground and leaned his back against the spear shaft.

Looking back, the Diablo Clan, led by Yoo Seo-ah, was running towards Se-un.

‘Should I rest for a bit?’

If he were alone, he wouldn’t have been able to rest comfortably even if the trial was over.

His companions who followed him. Because he had the Diablo Clan, he could lean on them.

* * *

There was time to spare until challenging the next trial, so he was able to take a sufficient rest to fill both his dantian and circle.

As soon as he finished resting, the first thing Se-un did was use the Authority of Gluttony.

Because he had been closing his eyes while resting, he didn’t know, but as soon as he opened his eyes, the messages sent by Beelzebub were filling his vision.

– ‘Ice Giant’ has been devoured.

– Absorbing nutrients increases all stats by 5.

The Gluttonous Fangs crunched and crunched, gnawing at the Ice Giant.

Baek-hyun was feeling regret next to him, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t use the Authority of Gluttony.

It was good for the Diablo Clan to become stronger, but the most important thing was Se-un’s own growth.

As soon as the giant’s corpse disappeared, Go Chang-seok observed the ice pillar next to him and started disassembling it, saying it was a better material than he thought.

It was an ice pillar powerful enough to collapse a snow mountain, but due to Go Chang-seok’s passion, it was gradually cracking.

“You went down below that crevasse?”

“Yeah.”

After finishing his rest, Se-un explained to Yoo Seo-ah why he was late in arriving.

He could feel that she was worried about Se-un when he looked at the clan chat.

Later, he heard that everyone had crossed the crevasse in their own unique ways.

Yoo Seo-ah simply jumped over the crevasse with a leap, and Kang Han-cheol broke a huge tree and placed it between the crevices.

Baek-hyun made a bridge with the undead, and the twin sisters built a bridge directly on the spot.

He could feel that everyone was growing surprisingly fast while maintaining their own individuality.

“It seems like we’ll all be moving together this time.”

“That means the difficulty will be high.”

As she said, the remaining three trials will all be carried out with the clan members joining forces.

The Ice Giant, which was the 17th Floor Trial, was also the same.

Se-un had defeated it in one blow, so no one had seen the giant’s power, but it was a very powerful monster as befitting the purpose of a raid hunt.

Well, it seemed that the current Diablo Clan would have been able to catch it well without casualties even without Se-un.

During a short conversation, Yoo Seo-ah fidgeted with her fingers and opened her mouth in a cautious tone.

“By any chance, are you going to keep going with us this trial?”

It was natural for her to ask such a question.

Even during the tutorial, Se-un always left the group to find hidden pieces and wandered outside.

She doesn’t rely on Se-un as much as she did then, but as the vice-clan leader, she needed to know the clan’s personnel and power.

“Probably, I will. Unless there are any special circumstances.”

As Se-un remembered, there were no special hidden pieces on the next 18th floor.

No, rather, it was more accurate to say that he couldn’t pay attention to the guide of the journey because he was so tired and dizzy.

The 18th floor he experienced before the regression was that harsh of a trial.

With Se-un’s answer, Yoo Seo-ah’s expression brightened.

While they were enjoying a warm rest in the middle of the snowfield thanks to the makeshift igloo built by the twin sisters…….

Kugugugu-

An ominous sound was heard from behind.

It wasn’t the roar of a monster, but it was a more terrifying and harsh roar than that.

‘It seems like the blizzard is already approaching.’

The blizzard he experienced in the snowfield of the 16th floor.

It naturally comes to this place over time.

It was as if they were threatening the players to quickly challenge the next trial.

Since he didn’t intend to rest here for an ambiguous amount of time anyway, Se-un got up from his seat.

Yoo Seo-ah also gathered people and instructed them to prepare.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

With the approaching blizzard behind them, the Diablo Clan headed towards the trial on the next floor.
