Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 230

234

The scarab beetle was clearly no ordinary monster.

At the very least, it was definitely a monster of overwhelming strength compared to the monsters guarding the passages discovered so far.

Well, it was to be expected.

Unlike the ordinary passages discovered so far, the passage before him was a place created by investing the power of the ‘Rising Sun God, Khepri’.

It would be more abnormal if the gatekeeper’s power was weak.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ frowns at the noisy situation and peeks out.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ begs you to return, saying he will tell you about a good passage.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ tilts his head, soon understands the situation before him, and laughs long.

Of course, Se-un had no intention of returning.

‘If it’s a place prepared by Khepri, a good reward is as good as guaranteed.’

Even though he looks like that, Khepri is one of the great sun gods of Heliopolis [ancient Egyptian city]. Since it is a passage prepared by such a god, it cannot be ordinary.

The difficulty may be high, but he was confident that he could handle it.

Swish.

Se-un drew his sword.

Realizing that his persuasion was not working, Khepri changed his attitude and commanded the scarab beetle.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ is furious that you don’t even listen to his words.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ raises the gatekeeper.

Creak, creeeak.

The scarab beetle, which had been still like a stone statue, moved its legs.

As the three pairs of legs raised the body, the already large body looked even larger.

The diamond-like glittering horn soared high as if it would touch the ceiling, and Se-un was submerged in the shadow created by the light stone on the ceiling being covered by it.

‘As expected, it’s not a biological type.’

Generally, insect-type monsters like that have relatively soft abdomens as weaknesses. However, even its abdomen was made of white ore resembling marble.

Even though it was preparing to attack right in front of him, he couldn’t feel any killing intent.

It was a sight that proved that it was a doll following Khepri’s instructions.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ says he was bored of researching meteorites all day anyway, so he prepares to watch.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ raises his horn high at the crow, asking if he led him.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ scoffs and ignores the bug.

As it was a gatekeeper created by a constellation, it was a monster of a form that Se-un was seeing for the first time.

However, he had plenty of experience dealing with similar types of monsters, even if they weren’t exactly the same.

First, he quickly circled around it to grasp its structure.

‘The body has no gaps. Is it the legs after all.’

The scarab beetle’s unique hard carapace did not seem like it would be easily pierced even with Durendal.

There was a slight gap between the head and body, but even if it moved its head slightly, it seemed like the sword would get stuck, let alone attack.

All that was left were the long, thin legs that looked weaker than the body.

‘The joints seem sufficient.’

Although the legs were also made of hard ore, they were better compared to the body.

The scarab beetle swung its horn at Se-un, who was circling around.

Thwack, thwack, thwack!

The thick horn swept the ground, digging it out.

Clods of dirt covered Se-un like bullets, and when Se-un used magic to clear the clods of dirt…

“Krr-”

The scarab beetle’s horn, hidden by the clods of dirt, was right in front of his nose.

Hiding his vision and launching an attack.

There was no way a monster of that type could have made such a skillful attack with its own intelligence.

‘Is he controlling it directly?’

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ is busily moving his hands, saying that he will never be able to pass this place.

It seemed that Khepri was directly instructing each and every attack.

It is forbidden for constellations to directly intervene in trials, but this case is a little different.

That scarab beetle itself is a gatekeeper directly created by Khepri, and he is only giving instructions, not directly intervening.

It became a little annoying, but it was just annoying. It didn’t pose a big problem in dealing with him.

Creak, creak-

Making the most of the mysteries of the Taegeuk Sword, he narrowly avoided the horn that had come right in front of him.

It was deflecting the horn with a sword, and sparks flew as two objects with extreme strength collided, crackling.

Even the Taegeuk Sword could not absorb the force, and footprints were dug into the ground where he was standing.

As soon as the thick horn was completely out of his sight, Se-un kicked off the horn hanging on the end of his sword and moved his legs.

“Krr, tsu-rr-”

The scarab beetle tried to launch the next attack right away, but its head did not move.

It wasn’t for nothing that Se-un endured until the last moment and kicked the sword just now.

Thanks to the mysteries of the Taegeuk Sword being used to the extreme, the force was transferred directly to the floor, and the large, thick horn was firmly embedded in the floor.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ requests a time-out.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ scoffs, saying there is no time-out in battle.

Time-out or whatever, Se-un’s foot had already fallen.

He gripped the handle so tightly that it twisted, and prepared an attack strong enough to break the scarab beetle’s joint in one blow.

– Through internal energy, the sixth form of the Taesan Eighteen Swordsmanship, Taesan Division, is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Overwhelming Demonic Art, the power of martial arts is enhanced.

An attack containing power strong enough to split Taesan [a large mountain] in two. In addition, he mixed in the mysteries of the Overwhelming Demonic Art, which had recently been enlightened and become even stronger.

The trajectory of Durendal was dyed black, as if a Taesan drawn with ink was being drawn.

Then, following the trajectory, Taesan split in two, and the moment Durendal touched the scarab beetle’s joint.

Boom-!

A roar like a mountain splitting open erupted.

The joint was thin, so it seemed to be made of particularly hard ore, but it could not withstand Se-un’s sword.

It didn’t fall just because one leg was broken, but the balance was already broken.

“Tsu-ru-ru-”

Thanks to breaking the front legs, it couldn’t properly support the weight of its head and swayed its body.

In the meantime, Se-un’s next attack followed.

Kwaaaang-!!

He repeatedly swung the advanced technique of the sixth form of the Taesan Eighteen Swordsmanship without any difficulty.

The legs, which had lost their balance and were impossible to avoid, were cut off lightly like bamboo.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ screams.

Thud!

The scarab beetle, which had already had two legs cut off, could no longer stand.

The monster thrashed around with its horn stuck in the floor.

However, Se-un stopped the scarab beetle’s struggle by smashing all three legs on the right side.

It seems that Khepri has given up the fight.

However, Se-un had no intention of ending the fight with this.

– The Treasure Vault of Greed has been opened.

[Giant Blade, Moglay]

– A magic sword said to have been owned by Sir Bebis of Hampton, known to have a huge blade like its name, which means a giant sword.

Thud.

The tip of Durendal’s sword was plunged towards the narrow gap between the scarab beetle’s head and body carapace.

However, could it be that it didn’t want to die?

As soon as the sword went in about halfway, it raised its head and reduced the size of the gap.

Durendal, which had been going in without resistance, was stuck and fixed in the middle.

It was at a level where it was difficult to push it in further even with Se-un’s strength.

And at that moment, the energy of Moglay permeated Durendal completely through the authority of greed.

– The sword that split the rock, Durendal, manifests the magic dormant in ‘Moglay’.

– The Valiant Piercer is reproduced through ‘Moglay’.

Durendal followed Moglay’s name and increased in size.

The scarab beetle desperately tried to raise its head and block the gap, but this power was not a technique that could be handled by its physical strength.

Soon, the jewel-like glittering carapace cracked with a roaring ‘Creak!’

“Tsu, tsu-”

Splat!

The muscles connecting the body and head ruptured, and the monster’s head slumped down with its glittering horn.

The reason why Se-un bothered to completely kill the monster even though the fight was over and the gatekeeper’s function was lost was simple.

– You have devoured the ‘Scarab Beetle of Sunrise’.

– Absorbing nutrients increases your stamina by 10.

The authority, which had been difficult to raise even one stat even when used on ordinary monsters recently, raised a whopping 10 stats with this one.

This was also welcome, but above all, Beelzebub’s reaction made him feel happy.

– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ cheers for the special meal prepared in front of the table.

– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ says that starving until now was only for this moment, and crunches on the legs first.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ screams so loudly that the sun rings.

He had used his authority several times in this trial, but all of them were weak monsters that could be called ‘mobs’ [weak enemies].

So, since it was a strong monster he had found after a long time, he wanted to feed it to Beelzebub.

He had given him occasional glances, but he had endured well until passing the shelter without complaining like before.

It also meant that he would continue to ask for his help in the future.

‘By the way, it’s noisy.’

Khepri’s messages popped up like crazy.

Not only was his scarab beetle eaten, but now he was about to lose even the arrangements he had prepared.

As the degree of that became more and more severe, Se-un, who was frowning, was about to block his channel when a new constellation’s message intervened in the meantime.

– The constellation, ‘The Noon Sun,’ looks down, asking why it is so noisy from broad daylight.

– The constellation, ‘The Noon Sun,’ gazes at the golden room where you are standing and the existence of his younger brother.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ is startled and shuts his mouth.

The constellation, the Noon Sun.

The greatest main god in Heliopolis, the sun god ‘Ra’.

His appearance somehow made Se-un more excited, and he postponed blocking the channel and watched their conversation for a while.

– The constellation, ‘The Noon Sun,’ asks his younger brother what that passage is.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ rolls his eyes and stutters.

Looking at the situation, it seemed that this passage was a place that Khepri had prepared secretly from Ra.

Perhaps, it was to strengthen his apostles secretly from Ra and expand his power.

It’s not a level that can be called a rebellion in a grand way, but it is a means to increase his own power in its own way.

However, even if others might take it lightly, it was clearly a rebellion from Ra’s point of view.

– The constellation, ‘The Noon Sun,’ asks gently if a similar arrangement that he had hidden and created was not discovered last time as well.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun’s’ hands tremble.

– The constellation, ‘The Noon Sun,’ nods, saying that he is glad that his younger brother can’t lie anyway.

Looking at it, it didn’t seem necessary to block the channel.

Their problems will be solved by themselves.

And as things have turned out this way, it seemed that even if he robbed this passage, he would not receive the hatred of Heliopolis.

No, rather, ‘Ra’ seemed to be showing favor to Se-un for discovering his younger brother’s presumptuous behavior.

– The constellation, ‘The Noon Sun,’ gives you a bright smile and drags his younger brother to the back of the sun.

– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ is dragged away by Ra’s hand, begging for his life.

Se-un waved away Khepri’s gradually fading messages and approached the front of the passage.

Unlike other passages, the firmly closed stone door did not even display a message like ‘Would you like to select the passage?’

However, it was a meaningless resistance to Se-un.

Clang.

– You have selected ‘Tomb of Sunrise’.

– Enter the 33rd floor trial, ‘Tomb of Sunrise’.

The Master Key shone and lightly opened the stone door.

Between the softly opening door, gold and silver shimmered brilliantly, welcoming Se-un.
