Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 178

Sacking the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 182

Episode 182

Blizzard. No, the avalanche that began pouring from the sky wasn’t just targeting this snow mountain.

Visibility was poor due to the snow, but most of the snow mountains we had crossed so far were also darkened by the avalanche pouring from the sky, blocking the sunlight.

In other words, escape was impossible.

‘Flight is also impossible.’

Spreading Icarus’s Wings would only result in crashing headfirst into the avalanche.

Even Se-un wouldn’t be able to use magic to overcome such a large-scale avalanche.

If the current blizzard were magic, it would be on par with a 7th circle… no, an 8th circle spell.

Then, there’s only one way left.

‘Break through it.’

Using magic and martial arts, I have to climb the mountain and break through the clouds before the avalanche hits.

Of course, no matter how fast I move, the summit of the mountain is blocked by clouds, so I’ll inevitably be hit by the avalanche, but I’m confident I can break through at the last moment.

“Seo-ah Yoo, hold on.”

“Huh? What…”

“Never mind. I’ll hold you, so just hang on.”

“Whoa?”

He lifted Yoo Seo-ah, who didn’t understand Se-un’s words, perhaps because she was panicked by the avalanche engulfing the sky.

Then, he immediately kicked off the snow and dashed forward.

Now wasn’t the time to worry about the floor collapsing.

He kicked off the ground so hard that the snow caved in every time Se-un stepped, causing an avalanche behind him.

“I, I can run myself!”

“No, this is faster.”

Speed aside, Se-un wasn’t confident he could take care of Yoo Seo-ah at the last moment.

Even if his hands were tied, it was easier to hold her and run.

– Your movement speed increases further through internal energy and the Niche Step.

Although the blizzard hadn’t struck yet, snowballs created by the snow dragon’s roar were rolling down from all directions.

He narrowly avoided the snowballs using the Niche Step and leaped over the avalanches caused by them.

He was already far beyond the level of an ordinary person.

Yoo Seo-ah realized that she would struggle to keep up with Se-un even if she ran, so she had no choice but to grab Se-un’s neck tightly.

‘It’s higher than I thought.’

Even though they ran in a straight line, they were delayed a bit while avoiding snowballs and avalanches.

They hadn’t even reached the clouds yet, but the blizzard had already reached above their heads.

– The power of ‘Fire Cannon’ is enhanced by the mysteries of the Black Tower.

– The speed of ‘Fire Cannon’ is increased by the mysteries of the Green Tower.

– The stability of ‘Fire Cannon’ is enhanced by the mysteries of the Blue Tower.

– The ‘Fire Cannon’ becomes more robust due to the mysteries of the Yellow Tower.

– The casting speed of ‘Fire Cannon’ is increased by the mysteries of the Purple Tower.

In an instant, a red orb containing the mysteries of the five magic towers gathered in his fist, and the moment the orb became so hot that it burned his palm.

Whoosh!

Se-un stretched out his hand, the one not holding Yoo Seo-ah, forward.

Kwaaaang-!!

The same cannon that burned the snow clouds and subdued the blizzard in the 18th floor trial was fired diagonally forward.

The blizzard that was about to engulf Se-un melted and turned into white steam, spreading in all directions.

The momentary gap created by this allowed Se-un to dash forward quickly.

It was an attack that consumed the mysteries of the five magic towers and a considerable amount of mana, but even this only created a path for a short time.

Except for the round tunnel created by the Fire Cannon, his vision was covered in snow, and even that was rapidly shrinking.

Crackle, crackle!

Se-un continued to fire Fire Cannons to create a path.

His circles [mana reserves] were rapidly emptying, but the blizzard piled up even faster, as if it would never tire.

And at the last moment.

‘This is the end!’

The snow cloud, which seemed to be the source of the blizzard, was right in front of him. He had already run to just before the summit of the snow mountain.

However, thanks to the continuous firing of Fire Cannons, his circles were already empty.

All that was left was internal energy.

Moreover, the snow cloud imbued with the power of the snow dragon contained even stronger power than the blizzard pouring down below.

It seemed impossible to break through that snow cloud with ordinary power.

So.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Violet Haze Sword Art (紫霞劍訣) ]

– The supreme technique of the Mount Hua Sect [a famous martial arts sect], which can only be learned by those who have reached the fourth level of the Violet Haze Divine Art. A unique martial art that even the Sword Demon could not easily master because it draws out intense Yang energy to its limit.

Se-un also uses the most powerful technique he can currently use. No, in fact, it was a gamble, as he wasn’t even sure if his current body could withstand it.

As soon as he faced the snow cloud, he knew instinctively.

That it would be impossible to break through that snow cloud without this much power.

– The first form of the Violet Haze Sword Art, Violet Haze Creation (紫霞開闢), is enhanced through internal energy.

– Heat is added to the martial art according to the mysteries of the Violet Haze Divine Art.

Woooong!

His dantian [energy center] heated up like a furnace.

All the internal energy of 4 giapsja [unit of internal energy] within was converted into Yang energy, and the heat seemed to burn even his internal organs.

Violet Haze Sword Art.

As described in its explanation, it was a top-notch martial art that applied the Violet Haze Divine Art that Se-un had learned first, and even the Sword Demon had difficulty mastering it.

According to the plan, he was going to learn it after reaching at least 5 giapsja, or even more…

But this was the best he could do now.

Drip.

A line of blood flowed from the corner of Se-un’s mouth.

His internal organs were unable to withstand the heat and were spewing blood.

If he tried to suppress it, he could fall into a demonic state, so Se-un accepted the intense heat as it was and stepped forward.

Violet Haze Creation (紫霞開闢).

That majestic meaning of opening the violet haze was recreated as it was.

The pure white blizzard that blocked Se-un’s path was instantly dyed violet. No, not only that, but all the surrounding scenery was dyed violet as if it were dyed in the sunset.

For a moment, he felt as if the world had stopped.

Although he wasn’t holding a sword, Se-un, who had engraved the mysteries of the Violet Haze Sword Art in his head through the authority of Greed, was able to fully unleash its power.

Clang!

A sound like something opening was heard.

A sound that was all too familiar to Se-un, who had opened all sorts of doors with the Master Key he had received as a reward from the tutorial.

Along with that, the violet-dyed world began to open.

This was the first form of the Violet Haze Sword Art, Violet Haze Creation.

Se-un only had to put his foot through the gap in the opened door.

The world in front of him was made of snow, but what if the opponent was a monster instead of snow?

The result would not have been different.

Even if it was a monster, it would not have been able to resist in this violet world and would have been ‘opened.’

The moment Se-un passed through the door.

Kwaaaa!

Krrrrrrrr-

The stopped world began to flow again.

When he turned his head, the wide-open door was being filled with snow and disappearing, and the world below was being swallowed by snow.

If he had remained down there, even Se-un would have had difficulty climbing back up.

Thud.

– The constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Jealousy,’ is amazed by your power that momentarily interfered with space-time and worries about your body.

– The constellation, ‘Crow Bowing its Head,’ feels regret for not seeing the beautiful scene just now with its own eyes.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ looks down at the snow covering the snow mountain and drools, thinking of shaved ice.

As soon as he reached the summit, Se-un put Yoo Seo-ah down and knelt on one knee. His legs were shaking so much that it was hard to stand.

“Se-un! Are you okay? What was that just now…”

“I’m okay. I just used a lot of power, so I’m a little tired.”

He had only used the first form of the Violet Haze Sword Art once, but all 4 giapsja of internal energy that had been filling his dantian had burned away in an instant.

He had managed to avoid falling into a demonic state just now, but if he had been careless, his dantian might have collapsed.

‘As expected, it’s too much to use it yet.’

It wasn’t for nothing that Se-un had been saving the supreme martial arts until now.

The supreme martial arts, as their name suggests, require a strong dantian, abundant internal energy, and a strong body.

If he rashly unleashed them with an unprepared body, he would fall into a demonic state and become a cripple.

Although he had somehow succeeded in using Violet Haze Creation, it wasn’t a gamble he could try often.

At the very least. Really, at the very least, it was a sword art worth ‘trying’ only after filling 5 giapsja.

“Here, a potion.”

“Thank you. Let’s rest for a moment.”

“I’m sorry. I’m being a hindrance again…”

“No, it wouldn’t have been much different even if I were alone.”

Se-un received the potion and recovered his mana and internal energy.

While doing so, he calmly looked around.

The summit of the snow mountain.

This place, which he had been able to reach only by breaking through the clouds, was hollow in the middle like a volcano.

The difference from a volcano was that what flowed out from within was not lava and heat, but snow powder and cold air.

‘Is it inside here?’

According to the quest details that the commander had explained, the snow dragon should be inside here.

As soon as he had recovered some energy, he sent a signal to Yoo Seo-ah and carefully moved his feet towards the hole.

A cold chill rose up, and it felt like his hair would freeze just by sticking his head out, but he couldn’t stop here after coming this far.

Se-un carefully stuck his head out towards the hole first.

Then.

“Krrr-”

A beautiful sight, as if looking at a temple made of ice.

A white dragon was curled up gracefully in the middle of the transparent, sparkling ice, like looking at a work of art.

That was the Snow Dragon.

The most powerful monster in the field called the Lake of Despair Ice created by the Outer, and the target of the S-class quest that no one had been able to solve.

“It’s beautiful.”

“Snow Dragon…”

“Snow Dragon? Is that the monster’s species name?”

Se-un nodded.

He had never seen it in person, but he remembered reading about it in a book he had seen before his regression.

Although they don’t measure up to the dragons born with the four major attributes, a dragon is a dragon.

Even though it was born with a limited derivative attribute of snow, not water or ice, for whatever reason, a dragon is a dragon.

‘It was a real dragon.’

Not a lower dragon species, but a real dragon.

Although it was far away, judging by its size alone, it wasn’t a hatchling class.

At least a sub-adult. No, at that size, it looked close to a quasi-adult.

‘Can I hunt it?’

He imagined the battle with the Snow Dragon in his head.

If he collapsed the snow mountain through magic to ambush it.

If he stole its power through the authority of Jealousy and maximized his combat power through the authority of Greed.

He had just resolved not to use it until he reached 5 giapsja, but if he somehow gathered his strength and used the Violet Haze Sword Art again.

However, Se-un soon shook his head.

It was on a different level from the monsters he had faced so far.

A quasi-adult dragon could use Dragon Words, even if only slightly.

No matter what power he used, there was no way for Se-un to resist Dragon Words in his current state.

Even if he somehow succeeded in resisting the Dragon Words, he would be buried in the Dragon Breath that followed.

‘This is an S-class quest…’

He thought it would be possible now.

Se-un’s level was already far beyond the level of players on the same floor.

Even if it was an S-class quest, he thought it would be possible now.

But it wasn’t.

Se-un hadn’t expected a real dragon to appear in the quest at the third shelter.

The odds of winning were at best less than 1%. Even that was a generous probability, considering the best possible outcome.

Challenging it with such a weak chance of winning was close to suicide.

It was a waste to have come this far, but he couldn’t throw away his life.

At that time.

‘What’s that?’

Something caught Se-un’s eye.

He saw something black wriggling on the Snow Dragon’s pure white body.

A subtle movement that he would never have seen if he hadn’t been focusing on it through the Monarch Eagle’s single eye.

“Se-un!”

Se-un immediately jumped down the hole.

Just before landing on the ground, he momentarily spread Icarus’s Wings and succeeded in landing gracefully.

The snow dragon, who hadn’t opened its eyes even though an intruder had entered, was sleeping with a painful expression.

On top of its beautiful, pure white scales.

“As expected…”

The wriggling black liquid he had seen under the Lake of Despair Ice.

The Outer was crawling on it.
