The Vault of the Demon God-Episode 215

Episode 215

“Does that mean you’ll open the path to the surface?”

“That’s right. I’ve been forbidding it in case an uncontrollable disaster flows in, but I thought you might be able to handle it.”

Se-un nodded silently.

The path to the surface.

This was something that didn’t exist in the fourth Shelter before his regression [his return to the past].

Back then, even if the Players volunteered to leave, they would never open the path for them.

It was something he had simply overlooked.

“Of course, we have high expectations, so we plan to spare no support. Equipment, food, manpower, etc. We will support everything possible.”

The capital of this Shelter is so precious that it’s hard to buy even with Contribution Points.

To say they’ll support that capital means they have high expectations.

It’s also proof that they’re not thinking of abandoning Se-un.

“What do you want?”

“For now… food. If you can catch just one edible beast from up there, it’s worth investing resources.”

“You’re not just trying to solve the immediate food shortage, but to awaken the ‘hope’ of the citizens.”

“That’s right. If there’s food on the surface, even those who have abandoned hope and are moving without souls will be able to have hope.”

It was a very simple goal, but it was also a goal that Se-un couldn’t guarantee.

If a large amount of radiation was embedded in the meteorite, he might suffer some damage the moment he went to the surface, let alone find food.

Moreover, the remnants of the Outer Beings still remained in the fragments of the meteorite.

No one knew how they had interfered with the ecosystem.

Perhaps, like those sealed in the desert or ice lake, they were building up their power by using strong monsters as hosts.

“The ultimate goal is, of course…”

“Securing a safe zone.”

The King’s face was filled with firm conviction.

Safe zone.

Indeed, his goal was not to settle in the underground bunker, but to go to the surface.

A moment of silence.

However, Se-un nodded calmly.

The outside was an unknown world where he didn’t know what situation awaited him, and even the knowledge from before his regression wouldn’t work, but from the beginning, he had no intention of stopping here.

“I will follow the King’s command.”

– You have accepted the hidden quest of the underground bunker, ‘Unstable End.’

Se-un formally accepted the quest.

No matter what exists on the surface, one thing is certain.

Woong-

The Outer Beings were attached to the meteorite and divided into small pieces.

In other words, this journey was the perfect journey to devour them and strengthen the third Authority of the Stigmata.

* * *

As soon as he got permission to go to the surface, Se-un moved to the vault of the underground bunker.

It was where all the capital of this place was sleeping.

It was the most heavily guarded place in the underground bunker, not open to Players or even citizens.

“It’s His Majesty’s order.”

“…Understood.”

The guards, who had received the message from the servant, stepped aside.

They didn’t seem to like the King’s choice and Se-un, but they didn’t disobey the order.

That was proof that their trust in the King was strong.

‘It’s more serious than I thought.’

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Lowers Its Head,’ watches the miserable sight of the vault and is disappointed that this is the vault of the ‘Last Stronghold.’

– The Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ is shocked that they are solving their meals together with just this.

– The Constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding the Season,’ pities the citizens, saying that this place looks worse to live in than the residence of the Fishmen.

As Mamon said, this was the only vault of the so-called ‘Last Stronghold’.

Once evaluated as the most livable and most desirable place to live in the continent, and as such, the Last Stronghold was rich in all kinds of capital.

It was said that the gold and silver treasures in the castle alone were comparable to the lair of a dragon… but now, all that exists in that vault is, in a word, terrible.

‘At least it’s well managed.’

The first thing he saw was neatly maintained equipment.

But they were so terrible compared to what Se-un had that he didn’t even think about taking them.

The next thing he saw was food.

Jerky was stored as precious as treasure, and preserved foods that were easy to store for a long time were piled up in rows.

No, it’s too shabby to say they were piled up.

Considering the number of people in the underground bunker, it seemed difficult to last even half a year.

It seemed that they were reducing the rate of food consumption through a small amount of crops that citizens could harvest underground.

‘It doesn’t look like there’s anything to take.’

It’s like trying to get blood from a stone [an impossible task].

Even Se-un didn’t think about taking anything from here.

As soon as he went to the Diablo Clan, there would be much better equipment and delicious food than here.

He hadn’t walked much, but he had reached the end of the vault.

A place with consumables such as herbs and potions.

Since the recovery items were less effective than those made by Lee Ha-neul, he skipped them, and just when he was about to turn around without any gain.

‘This is?’

He was able to find things that were stuck in the farthest corner of the vault.

It seemed to be the oldest thing in the vault, and unlike the others, it was not properly managed and was covered in dust.

Se-un roughly blew on it to remove the dust and immediately checked them.

[ Explosion Stone(爆發石) ]

Category: Consumables

Grade: B+

Description: An explosion stone directly produced by the Magic Tower at the request of the ‘Last Stronghold’.

Ability: 1. Explosion – Activates 5th Circle explosion magic as a one-time use.

A mana stone engraved with Explosion.

In simple terms, it was a modern-day dynamite.

If it was enough to engrave 5th Circle magic, not other magic, the level of the mana stone was not ordinary, and the production cost would be enormous.

The Last Stronghold, which was famous for being wealthy, would have been able to request it.

It seemed that they had requested it to build this underground bunker.

‘This will be useful.’

Se-un had reached the 6th Circle, but his mana was not infinite.

So it seemed that it could be used to find the ‘Hidden Piece’ that he was about to go out to find.

The fact that it was covered in dust told him that the underground bunker no longer used explosion stones.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Lowers Its Head,’ nods as it watches your greed as you sweep away all the explosion stones without hesitation.

Se-un swept away all the explosion stones in the vault.

In addition, he took all kinds of consumables that seemed to have been used when building the underground bunker.

Anyway, from the explosion stone’s point of view, it’s better than being covered in dust in this vault…

‘I’ll use it much more efficiently.’

It would be more appropriate to disappear with a splendid explosion as originally intended.

* * *

After that, Se-un did not leave for the surface immediately.

Since he might have to face the Outer Beings, it was a priority to completely recover his Circles and Danjeon [energy center], including the Stigmata.

While recovering his body, what he had in mind so far was the martial art he used to destroy the meteorite, ‘Extreme Destruction Dark Sword(破極暗劍)’.

‘Even though it was only one stance, my Danjeon was about to explode.’

Even that was in a state where his physical abilities were inflated by the overlapping of the Authority of the Season, the Authority of Gluttony, and the power of Frenzy.

It is impossible to reproduce the first stance with his current body condition.

However, he gained a lot of enlightenment even with that one stance manifestation.

‘The operation of the Extreme Destruction Divine Art that flowed when using the Extreme Destruction Dark Sword.’

It was different from the mysteries of the Extreme Destruction Divine Art that Se-un had been operating until now.

It was more threatening and more overbearing.

This was not only the case with the Extreme Destruction Dark Sword, but also something that could be adapted when using other martial arts.

The enlightenment did not simply end with Se-un’s thoughts.

– You have gained new enlightenment about the Extreme Destruction Divine Art.

– The efficiency of the Extreme Destruction Divine Art is greatly increased.

– Through enlightenment, the allowable amount and quality of internal energy that the Danjeon can hold increases.

With the system’s recognition, it became Se-un’s substantial power.

To confirm that power, he sparred with Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah after his body recovered.

About five days passed like that.

A week had passed since he arrived at the underground bunker.

And finally, the time promised with the King had arrived.

“Are you really okay with this? My direct escort knight has already agreed. He will definitely be a great help.”

“I’m fine.”

The King’s escort knight.

Judging from his aura, he seemed quite powerful.

If you exclude the potential that only Players can have and calculate purely with combat power, he is similar to Yoo Seo-ah.

However, it didn’t seem like he would be helpful on this journey.

As long as he had to face the Outer Beings, it was better to reduce the number of allies as much as possible.

“Yoo Seo-ah, are you ready?”

“Yes!”

Yoo Seo-ah was the only companion on this journey.

It was revealed that her potential, Domination, could be combined with Baal’s Divinity to temporarily bind the Outer Beings.

With that power, she would be able to buy time even when the Stigmata was overheated.

“This time too… am I not allowed?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that you don’t fit this journey.”

“……”

Kang Han-cheol clenched his fist tightly.

It’s the same reaction as when he was performing the S-class quest at the Frost Fortress, but there was no other way.

His power, which had received Agares’ Divinity, was beyond imagination, but he didn’t know if he could face the Outer Beings.

If he was with Se-un, he would inevitably face the Outer Beings someday, but there was no need to gamble right now.

“Instead, please take good care of what I asked you to do.”

“If it’s that, it’s already in progress. By the time you come back, it will already be over.”

“That would be nice.”

Instead of taking him to the surface, Kang Han-cheol was entrusted with another task.

That is, something that Se-un had discovered as a guide for the journey before his regression.

Even if he couldn’t completely capture the Hidden Piece, he would be able to completely pave the way to the Hidden Piece.

“Can’t I go either? If I’m not helpful in battle, I’ll just quietly follow behind. There will definitely be a lot of useful test subjects…”

“Baek-hyun, you especially can’t go. The compatibility is too bad.”

“That’s a shame… Well, if possible, could you get me some samples?”

“I’ll try.”

“Thank you!”

– The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling on Death,’ expresses interest, saying that it wants to dissect ‘that being’ as well.

Baek-hyun’s eyes sparkled, but like the Golem in the Ice Lake underground, the Outer Beings were beings that could be possessed even by inanimate objects, so there was no way that the undead couldn’t be possessed.

In that sense, his undead army, which specializes in quantity rather than quality, might act as a bad variable in this journey.

‘But capturing samples is a good idea.’

There was almost no information revealed about the Outer Beings before the regression.

They first devoured the Constellations and came down, so in a situation where they recognized their existence, the Players were not at a level to do anything about it.

But what if they could dissect and investigate them?

If Baek-hyun could find out something, it would be of great help in dealing with the Outer Beings in the future.

Perhaps they could find a way to deal with the Outer Beings even if it wasn’t Se-un’s Stigmata.

“Then, let’s get started.”

“I hope you succeed.”

“Your Majesty, why are you bowing your head…”

“He is risking his life and going to the surface with our hope on his shoulders. What does face matter?”

The King came to Se-un and bowed his head.

Even though he heard that he was the former king, he thought he was someone who had given up and let go of everything because the king did not show any action before the regression, but he was a more righteous person than he thought.

“I’m counting on you.”

“I understand.”

Creak-

The only passage to the surface opened.

From here on, even Se-un didn’t know any information, so he naturally sharpened his senses throughout his body.

“Yoo Seo-ah, let’s go.”

“Yes!”

Kugung!

The only door closed as if to cut off the connection with the surface, and the dark passage continued upwards.

After climbing all the stairs where even the lights were turned off.

– You have entered the new field of the fourth Shelter, ‘Unstable End.’

A world that has ended.
