Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 224

228

The moment the central stake was driven in, Yoo Seo-ah’s control was released.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, the fact that she managed to stop an Outer of that size for even a few seconds was an incredible feat.

Despite the release of control, the Outer couldn’t escape.

It writhed, trying desperately to break free from the stakes, but they remained firmly planted like a fence.

Taaht!

Se-un didn’t miss this golden opportunity.

He raised his weapon towards the Outer, which was thrashing while impaled on the stakes.

Durandal had already used ‘Angerboda,’ making it impossible to use a new treasure from Mammon right away.

So.

‘Is this finally a proper debut?’

Se-un drew Achilles’ spear, Apellion.

A weapon whose rank had recently risen to SS-class, like Durandal, after its seal was broken using melodrama.

He had used it a few times against the Outer, but never with the Authority of Greed in this state.

However, Se-un had faith.

He believed that the current Apellion could fully unleash the power of the treasure brought forth by the Authority of Greed.

– Through internal energy, the Fifth Form of the Ice Dragon Spear Technique, Ice Dragon Manifestation, is enhanced.

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

A chill crept over Se-un’s body.

Icy scales formed on his skin, and a helmet resembling a dragon’s head materialized on his head.

A much more advanced form than when he first used Ice Dragon Manifestation under the volcano. Se-un had reached 6 cycles and was properly drawing out the true power of Ice Dragon Manifestation.

Of course, even this wasn’t a 100% perfect form.

Even in this sufficiently powerful state, Se-un didn’t stop there and manifested the Authority of Greed.

– The Vault of Greed is opened.

[The Northern End, Ice Snow Pole]

– A frigid spear made from icicles in a place called the Northern End, where further progress is impossible due to the Black Ice Cliff.

Kadeudeudeuk-

Apellion, which Se-un was holding, had a chill running through its shaft due to Ice Dragon Manifestation.

When the power of Ice Snow Pole surged into it, the entire spear, from the shaft to the tip, was covered in ice. No, it wasn’t just a shell of ice.

It felt like Apellion’s material itself was turning into ice.

‘Yes, it’s enough.’

A distinctly different sensation from when the seal wasn’t broken.

Even with Mammon’s treasure imbued, there was no trembling felt from Apellion.

This meant it could sufficiently withstand the power of Ice Snow Pole.

With this, Se-un focused his mind and drew out the original power of Ice Snow Pole.

Just like how he reproduced Hrothgar’s ‘Breath of the Evil Dragon’ using Durandal.

– Achilles’ spear, Apellion, unleashes the energy of the Northern End dormant in ‘Ice Snow Pole.’

– Through ‘Ice Snow Pole,’ the Black Snow Ice Pillars of the Northern End are recreated.

The tip of Ice Snow Pole was dyed black.

The dragon scales and helmet surrounding Se-un’s body also reacted to it, changing to black.

A technique that recreated the Black Ice Cliff at the Northern End, which was described in Ice Snow Pole.

When Ice Snow Pole turned completely black, it didn’t stop there, and black icicles floated above the Outer’s head.

No, the size was too large to be called icicles; the expressions pillars or stakes seemed more fitting.

Roughly counting, there were more than twenty of them.

“Kkuluk! Kwaeeeeeek!”

The Outer spat out corrosive fluid as if struggling for the last time, but it couldn’t harm Se-un, who was covered in black ice armor.

He pierced straight through the corrosive fluid and thrust Ice Snow Pole into the center of the Outer’s face… a monster’s face that had melted so much that it was hard to tell what it originally was.

Kwack, Kwakwakwak!

At that moment, the black stakes waiting above the Outer’s head poured down.

It was already fixed in place by the stakes made of meteorites, and now that new stakes were being driven in, most of the hosts that made up its body were mercilessly crushed.

Even for an Outer, it seemed impossible to regenerate in that state.

Of course, doing this wouldn’t inflict serious damage on the Outer.

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

– The Stigmata’s third ability, ‘@#!%’, awakens.

Se-un immediately emitted the light of the Stigmata.

He had already used its power several times, so his divinity wasn’t sufficient, but he would just do his best for now.

There was no other way.

As the Stigmata blazed fiercely, the Outer began to disappear not only from where Ice Snow Pole had pierced it but also from where the black stakes were driven in.

It was quite a surreal sight, making a ‘chi-eek’ sound and emitting a foul odor as it touched the ice.

Wooong!

‘Damn it, already…’

Was it because he had already used the Stigmata in the previous stalling?

It didn’t seem like he had used much power, but the Stigmata was already starting to heat up.

The only fortunate thing was that the Outer’s body had shrunk quite a bit during this short time.

The power of the attack also affected when the Outer was annihilated.

‘I’ve annihilated a lot, but this won’t do.’

Even if he barely endured until right before overheating, he wouldn’t be able to annihilate even 1/2 of the Outer’s body.

It was definitely a great achievement, but it was too disappointing. However, greed was forbidden.

Currently, there was no way to annihilate the Outer other than with the power of the Stigmata, so it was best to retreat as it was now.

…Just as he thought that.

– Insufficient.

An unknown voice was heard from somewhere.

A voice so oppressive and terrifying that it sent shivers down his spine just by listening to it.

However, despite that, Se-un didn’t look around.

He instinctively felt that the voice just now came from ‘inside’ rather than outside.

– Insufficient.

He knew for sure with the voice that was heard again. This voice was coming from the Stigmata.

As soon as he realized that, the Stigmata, which was heating up and losing its light, shone brightly again.

– Insufficient!

– The will dormant in the Stigmata awakens.

– The Stigmata expresses its thirst for prey.

– If you satisfy the Stigmata’s thirst, the Stigmata’s third ability will be fully awakened.

– Conversely, if you do not satisfy the Stigmata’s thirst, the Stigmata’s will will fall asleep again.

Se-un’s eyes widened.

When this third power first manifested, the Stigmata sealed that power on its own, saying that Se-un couldn’t handle it.

Since he didn’t know how to break the seal anyway, he hadn’t paid attention to it until now, but the clue was finally revealed.

Along with that.

Woooong-!

A dark red light poured out madly from the Stigmata.

It was hot enough to burn the back of his hand, but he didn’t feel any heat at all.

In addition, the speed at which the Outer was annihilated also doubled.

“Kkureureureureuk-!”

The Outer’s frenzy also intensified.

Until now, it had been waiting for Se-un’s power to drop and looking for an opportunity, but now it seemed to realize that the opportunity had disappeared.

Ttuk, Ttuduk!

The Outer’s body, impaled on the stakes, was roughly torn off.

It intended to escape from Se-un even if it meant giving up the impaled areas.

Perhaps because its survival instinct was extremely manifested, the speed at which it escaped from the stakes was rapid.

In the blink of an eye, it had already escaped three stakes.

‘No!’

According to the system message, if he didn’t satisfy the Stigmata’s thirst this time, the Stigmata would fall asleep again.

If that happened, no one would know when a new opportunity would come.

No, how many times would he have to defeat an Outer of this size in the first place?

It would be nearly impossible to expect a relatively stable situation like now while facing such a large Outer.

In other words, if he missed the current opportunity, the chance to break the Stigmata’s seal would be extremely delayed. Or worse, the opportunity might not come at all.

“Hold on a little longer!”

Se-un shouted.

Currently, there was no other way but to ask his companions.

There was no explanation, and it was a request at a completely unexpected timing, but….

– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Collision.’

– Player Yoo Seo-ah uses ‘Tarantula’s Fourth Leg.’

Almost simultaneously with the shout, Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah’s attacks flew in.

“I don’t know how to hold it, but I’ll try to keep it slammed to the ground as much as possible.”

“I can’t use control yet, but my sword is also made of meteorites, so it might be able to stop its movements for a while!”

The two’s attacks continued.

Certainly, the Outer’s movements flinched thanks to the weapons made of meteorites, but it couldn’t completely stop its movements with that.

The speed at which the Outer escaped was faster than the speed at which the Stigmata annihilated the Outer, and it had already escaped most of the stakes.

‘Quickly……!’

Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah were trying their best, but this wouldn’t do.

He couldn’t use magic because all his strength was being drained towards the Stigmata.

Just as he was about to bite his lip tightly, thinking that he had to give up this golden opportunity.

“Both of you, get out of the way!”

Baek-hyun’s voice was heard in the air.

Immediately, Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah leaped back to make way, and an unidentified creature fell above them.

No, it wasn’t a creature.

Undead.

It was an undead made from a long, thick snake nearly 5m long, and its skin was unevenly covered with scales as if it had a disease.

‘That’s… a meteorite?’

Looking closely, the identity of the scales was meteorite fragments.

Those scraps that Go Chang-seok had been hoarding whenever he made items using meteorites, saying they were too small to be used but too precious to throw away.

As soon as the snake fell on the Outer, it dug into the black liquid like a parasite.

Normally, the Outer would have thought, ‘What luck, a new host!’ and tried to assimilate it, but it didn’t seem to have the mental capacity to do so now.

Moreover, the Outer in front of him was an existence created by clumping and mixing dozens of hosts, not just one.

Naturally, there were bound to be gaps in its body.

The snake dug into those gaps and quickly burrowed into the center of the Outer’s body.

At that moment, Baek-hyun’s fist, who was riding the Manticore, clenched tightly.

– Player Baek-hyun uses ‘Corpse Explosion.’

Kwaaaang!

The undead exploded inside the Outer’s body.

No matter how strong the Corpse Explosion was, it wouldn’t have harmed the Outer, but not now.

The meteorite fragments embedded in the snake’s entire body were driven into various parts of the Outer’s body by the explosive force.

A biological grenade using meteorite fragments.

The effect was.

“Kwaeeeeeek! Kkuluk, Kkuluk. Kworeukeueueuk!”

Surprisingly outstanding.

The Outer, which had escaped from all the stakes except for the one embedded in the center of its body and was just about to escape, writhed grotesquely, repeating contraction and expansion, and screamed.

Meanwhile, Se-un’s Stigmata was annihilating the Outer at an astonishingly fast rate.

More than half of the black liquid had already been annihilated, and the monsters used as hosts fell to the floor with a thud, or most of their bodies were exposed to the outside.

And finally.

– The Stigmata’s thirst has been fully satisfied.

– The Stigmata’s seal is completely released.

– The Stigmata’s third ability, ‘Annihilation,’ awakens.

The Stigmata’s seal was released, and its light rose greatly as if to cover the world.

Kkwaaaang-!

It became a giant wolf named Annihilation and roughly bit off the last remaining Outer’s body.
