I Raided the Demon God’s Vault – Episode 199

Episode 199

The incense burner shattered, and the ashes spilled.

I was sure they would scatter into the air, but the ashes remained neatly piled between the fragments of the incense burner.

It didn’t look like they had accumulated naturally.

Moreover, Se-un, who had handled countless items as an adventurer before his regression, knew immediately that those ashes were the real reward of this hidden piece and one of the relics that was the goal of the 25th floor.

[ Ashes of the Underworld ]

Category: Consumable

Grade: A+

Description: Ashes scattered in the deepest part of the Underworld, known as the place where souls reside.

Abilities: 1. Faint Wraith – Grants immunity from all forms of attack once.

2. Evil Wraith – Imbues an attack with the power of the Underworld once.

3. Wandering Wraith – Immediately move to a desired location within sight after the first attack.

It was a whopping A+ grade item. That was an excessive grade for an item obtained on the mere 20s floors.

However, even if other players found this item, they would have scratched their heads in confusion.

No matter how good an A+ grade item was, players on this floor didn’t fully appreciate the value of one-time-use items.

‘Rather, they would prefer equipment or material-type items, thinking it’s a waste.’

Honestly, that would be the logical thing to do for most players.

If they found usable equipment here, they could use it effectively up to at least the 40th floor, and if it was a material-type item, they could freely craft something.

Even if it was a one-time consumable, if it was an item that increased strength like an elixir, they might choose it for the future benefits.

However, these ashes were different.

It was just an item that could only be used once in battle.

Not many players, unless they were from the higher floors, truly understood the value of this item.

‘With this…….’

Se-un picked up the ashes without hesitation.

Even if it were someone else, he was confident that he could use this item more effectively than anyone else.

As soon as he saw the ashes’ abilities, he was reminded of a trial that was coming up soon.

‘Maybe, I can “solve” the trial of the 30th floor.’

The trial of the 30th floor.

Just like the trials of the 10th and 20th floors, the trial of the 30th floor was known for its extreme difficulty, making the other trials of the 21st to 29th floors seem like child’s play.

He might be able to conquer that trial, which he had only trembled in fear of before his regression, in a different way from others.

– Would you like to select ‘Ashes of the Underworld’?

– You can only select one relic from the 25th floor trial.

Se-un nodded. There was no hesitation.

Even when he thought back to the relics he had obtained through the Journey’s Compass before his regression, he didn’t think there was a better relic than this on the 25th floor.

– ‘Ashes of the Underworld’ has been selected.

– Move towards the destination with the relic.

“Hyung [older brother or respected male figure], isn’t this also that relic?”

While Se-un was collecting the ashes, Park Jung-pil approached and held out something.

It was an ashen glove reminiscent of Smoke, and it was clearly an unusual item.

Judging from the location where he found it and its characteristics, it seemed to be one of the rewards of this hidden piece as well.

“It looks useful.”

“Oh! Doesn’t this suit me perfectly? It’s like I have a black dragon sealed on the back of my hand! Keuh!”

“Stop fooling around and let’s go quickly.”

“Ah, are we leaving already? We fought so hard, let’s rest a little before we go!”

I don’t know why he’s acting so pitiful when he didn’t even do anything in this fight.

No, it was a coincidence, but Park Jung-pil found the incense burner that was the cause of Smoke, so I guess he did do something this time?

Normally, I would have grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him away, but today was different.

“We can go to the residence as soon as this floor is over.”

“Oh! Really? Keuaaa, let’s go quickly! I feel so uncomfortable!”

Well, he rolled his body on the floor on every floor, so he must feel uncomfortable.

Just by roughly looking, his hair and equipment were a mess.

Especially now, his whole body was covered in ashes, making him look like a gray human.

Shaking his head as he watched Park Jung-pil excitedly take the lead.

“It’s not that way.”

“……Hehet, I’ll just follow Hyung~!”

Se-un headed towards the destination of the trial.

* * *

– The 25th floor trial ‘Scattered Relics’ has been successfully completed.

– Calculating contribution points…….

– Time remaining: 24 hours 05 minutes

– Selected relic: Ashes of the Underworld (A+)

– Hidden quest ‘Ashen Incense Burner’ completed.

…….

– Total accumulated contribution points: 285,000 points

– Congratulations! You have passed the 25th floor trial in 1st place.

– Acquired 100,000 points as a reward.

Thanks to the additional contribution points from the hidden quest and the high grade of the selected relic, he was able to easily achieve 1st place in the ranking.

Before his regression, he was able to get high scores thanks to the Journey’s Compass, but this time it was even more than that.

‘Well, that hidden quest was the foundation of the 25th floor.’

A monster that was immune to all kinds of attacks.

It was fortunate that Park Jung-pil accidentally found the incense burner; otherwise, he would have suffered even more.

Smoke not only blurred the vision but also confused other senses, so it would have been almost impossible for an average player to find the incense burner in that situation.

Besides, the barrier on the incense burner was definitely not ordinary. The reason why the 25th floor trial had been maintained until now must have been because of that.

After finishing the trial…….

“Uwaaa! It’s rest time!”

The two immediately entered the clan residence.

While living in the Frost Fortress, the twin sisters had collected various materials and expanded it, so the residence had developed greatly.

The previous buildings, which were close to tents or cabins, had all collapsed, and in their place, a personal space was built for each clan member.

Various hobby facilities such as billiards and volleyball courts, as well as a proper training ground, were installed.

It was an excessive level for a residence with only about 50 people.

[ Kang Han-cheol: These trials are quite annoying. ]

[ Lee Ha-neul: My powers don’t work on disasters, so it’s difficult. I never thought I would miss monsters……. ]

[ Han Ah-reum: Hehe, I’m glad I prepared a lot in the fortress! ]

[ Han Da-un: Disasters are nothing, just block them with a bunker! ]

When I checked the clan chat, most of them were feeling troubled by the trials.

Well, the disasters in this trial were much more difficult compared to fighting monsters. It would be easier to simply fight monsters.

On the other hand, the twin sisters and a few others were passing the trials more easily than usual.

It was proof that the abilities of the Diablo clan members were that diverse.

Among them, Se-un found one clan chat that stood out.

[ Yoo Seo-ah: I’m 고민 [troubled/worried] about which relic to choose……. I should invest a little more time here. ]

Yoo Seo-ah’s message.

Judging from the content, she seemed to be already 진행 [progressing/advancing] the 25th floor trial.

Se-un had already completed all the trials up to the 25th floor and arrived at the residence, but that was only possible because it was Se-un.

When he saw that most of the other players were staying on the 23rd and 24th floors, it was a very fast speed.

‘It seemed like she had changed a little.’

Yoo Seo-ah was the only one among the Diablo clan to whom Se-un had told the truth about his regression.

Of course, it was to explain to Seol-ryong, but he had been planning to explain it to her someday.

After that, her eyes seemed to have become a little more firm, and that seemed to be showing in the trials.

“I’m going to take a shower right away, what about you, Hyung?”

“I need to shower too.”

You can maintain cleanliness with a clean shower, but that was different from the concept of rest.

Above all, Se-un’s goal in this residence was to open a new circle [a stage in magical advancement].

He was planning to use the Dragon Heart, so he needed to fully recover his condition.

* * *

While taking a break.

Yoo Seo-ah arrived at the residence earlier than expected.

The relic she chose on the 25th floor was a ruby-studded ornament, which had the ability to increase mental strength and seemed to go well with the Domination trait.

Although the others had not yet arrived, Se-un went out of the residence as soon as he recovered his condition.

Since it was training using the Dragon Heart, he didn’t know what would happen, so he was planning to go to the outskirts as much as possible to train.

‘It’s time to expand the residence.’

Honestly, the residence was very spacious for the Diablo clan to use even with its current size.

He wasn’t planning to take in more people, but if he went further up the floors, a war with the clan or residence might break out.

When that time came, the size of the residence could also act as a geographical advantage, so he thought that he should strengthen the clan using contribution points soon.

‘This should be enough.’

The place he arrived at was a valley located at the end of the residence’s terrain.

He had told Yoo Seo-ah in advance, so he wouldn’t be disturbed by people.

Besides, even if something happened, it wouldn’t affect the residence.

Of course, Se-un was also handling the Dragon Heart for the first time, so he was being as careful as possible.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ watches the red Dragon Heart with interest.

– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ tilts his head, wondering if he can eat that too.

– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Enclosing the Season,’ watches you, 기대 [anticipating/expecting] how much you will grow this time.

He took out the Dragon Heart, which had turned red as if lava was boiling inside.

Originally, it was a pure white jewel with white snow swirling inside like a snowball, imbued with the power of Seol-ryong, but he could clearly feel how well the internal attributes had been converted.

“Hoo…….”

He sat cross-legged and lightly held the Dragon Heart in a formal posture.

He was planning to follow the 정석 [orthodox/standard method] as much as possible and follow the training, as he didn’t know what dangers might follow.

– The Treasure Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Red Mana Circle ]

– A legendary training method said to have been learned by the first magician who built the Red Magic Tower, one of the Seven Great Magic Towers of the Empire, and that no magician has been able to reproduce since.

The training method he used was also not an ordinary training method.

Among the many training methods in Mammon’s Vault, it was the most outstanding training method.

It remained like a legend even in that dimension, and no magician had been able to reproduce it, so there was even a rumor that the first magician might have been a dragon.

He thought that it had to be this 정도 [level/degree] since it was training using the Dragon Heart.

Woo-웅!

The circle began to rotate in earnest.

The process of creating the circle was completely different from the previous ones, as it used the Dragon Heart.

First, the process of assimilation was necessary.

You must assimilate with the mana sleeping inside the Dragon Heart and accept its power very slowly.

콰륵-

The mana imbued inside the heart soared like lava and resisted assimilation.

However, Se-un’s mana control skills, which had reached the 5th Circle and mastered the mysteries of the five magic towers, were comparable to those of a great magician.

Before long, he succeeded in assimilation, and the wriggling lava slowly calmed down.

Then, the moment the wriggling red mana touched Se-un’s circle.

– Is it you who disturbed my rest……?

The surrounding scenery turned completely red, and an imposing voice echoed proudly from within.
