Stole the Demon God’s Armory-290

“Is that… the power of the Meteorite? To extract only the power of the Meteorite, quite a troublesome power it is.”
Even with Se-un unleashing a new power, the man didn’t move. He merely observed from above, like a bystander focused on observation.
Meanwhile, Se-un squeezed out the remaining power, pushing the Sea Serpent relentlessly.
Realizing that Se-un’s attacks were threatening, the Sea Serpent, unlike before, passively resisted and watched the man’s reaction.
“I can’t observe properly like this. I want to know more about that power.”
As the man spoke, the Outer writhed violently, leading the Sea Serpent’s body.
There was no refusal.
The man’s command overcame the Outer’s survival instinct, and it bared its fangs at Se-un once more.
– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ frowns, asking why you’re hesitating so much when they’ve even bestowed the essence of the Meteorite.
However, contrary to what was visible, Se-un was frowning.
‘I don’t have much power left.’
Mana, inner energy, divinity. None of them were properly remaining.
At best, only one proper attack was the limit.
He thought he could find a weakness and deal with it in one blow, seeing how passively it was reacting, but thanks to that man, that became impossible.
‘Well, it would have been more dangerous if that man had joined the battle.’
He didn’t know how much combat power he had, but just seeing the power to control the Outer was dangerous enough.
He wondered why he wasn’t joining the battle.
If that was carelessness, it was unconditionally beneficial to Se-un.
‘Dragging out time any longer is foolish.’
At this rate, he couldn’t find a weakness.
The Authority of Jealousy had already reached its limit and was not giving Se-un any power.
– The Constellation, ‘The Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ apologizes for not being able to provide greater power.
Se-un shook his head at Leviathan’s message.
It wasn’t that the Authority of Jealousy was weak, but that the Outer was too strong.
If it weren’t for the Authority of Jealousy, it would have been difficult to survive until Mammon gave him power in the first place.
‘I have to end it like this.’
It was no time to worry about weaknesses.
After slashing a long sword mark on the cheek of the approaching Sea Serpent, he turned his sword towards the staggering creature.
“Reside.”
– Grrr!
Se-un squeezed out the last of his divinity and commanded the wolf.
The wounded wolf also squeezed out its remaining power, leaping and diving into Se-un’s sword.
A crimson light, signifying the power of destruction, permeated the transparent ice blade.
– The sword that split the rock, Durandal, bursts the energy of the moon sleeping in ‘Chandrahass’.
– Through ‘Chandrahass,’ the touch of the New Moon is recreated.
In an instant, the laboratory went dark.
In the laboratory filled with darkness, only one thing shone faintly in the form of a crescent moon, befitting the name Transcendence: Se-un’s sword.
With a short shout, the sword moved towards the writhing monstrosity in the darkness.
Flash!
The moment the crescent moon reached its destination, stardust of crimson light spread around.
“Kuaaaaak!”
It was an attack that drew out the power of Chandrahass, but in the end, the weapon that led the attack itself was Durandal.
Since the power of the Meteorite was imbued in Durandal, all of this attack was imbued with the power of the Meteorite.
As the cold moon blade cut through the Outer, the tragically split Sea Serpent and the grotesquely connected upper body of the Red Fish Merchant were exposed.
Half of his body was blown away, bones were broken, and internal organs were falling out, yet he was still alive.
The Outer writhed with all its might to restore the host.
‘Damn, he’s tough.’
It was a blow that squeezed out all the remaining power, let alone divinity.
Honestly, he didn’t even have the energy to swing the sword one more time. Yet he was still alive…….
Fortunately, there was a black rift revealed between the Sea Serpent and the Merchant Lord.
Clearly, that was its greatest weakness.
If he aimed for that place, he could end it.
“It’s a shame. If you had tried a little harder, you would have won. I guess the rumors were exaggerated.”
The man also seemed to realize that Se-un’s power was exhausted, and he wore a disappointed expression.
To show such a face when he was about to win.
He couldn’t even guess what that guy’s identity was.
Then.
Clunk-
A golden-decorated weapon was held in Se-un’s left hand.
It was a Su-bal style pistol.
The A-grade weapon obtained by defeating the Pirate King on the Pirate Island, the ‘Zeman Empire Golden Eagle.’
Bang!
Se-un pulled the trigger without hesitation.
With a gunshot that rang in his ears, recoil occurred, and a bullet was fired, emitting a pungent gunpowder smell.
The bullet, flying so fast that it was invisible, accurately struck the black rift.
“A gun, huh. I’ll praise you for not giving up until the end, but you can’t break the power of the *pyae-wang* [despot/tyrant] with just that.”
Even if it was a gun, it was an A-grade weapon.
In the Fifth Shelter, an A-grade weapon was certainly worthy of being called a high-level weapon, but it was not enough to face the Outer.
Moreover, Se-un was currently in a state where all his divinity was exhausted and he couldn’t even use the power of destruction.
As the man said, even if he attacked with such a weapon, it would be meaningless even if it was a weakness.
However, the man had no choice but to shut his mouth at the Outer’s subsequent reaction.
“Keuh… Je, Jeheton… of…”
Drip-
A black liquid dripped down from the crack where the bullet was embedded.
What flowed out like blood was no longer that of a living creature.
Every time the black liquid flowed out like dead blood, the amount of Outer decreased, and its movement had long since stopped.
With a thud! The Sea Serpent slammed its head on the floor, and the head of the Red Fish Merchant exploded.
“What did you do?”
The man couldn’t understand at all.
Even if the weakness inside was revealed and attacked, it was just one bullet.
Even if some magic was enchanted, he didn’t think that the Outer would take that much of a fatal blow with that, but the moment he thought that.
The man thought of a possibility.
“Could it be…….”
The man walked in the air towards the collapsing Outer.
Looking closely, every time the man took a step forward, the Outer squirmed and formed stairs below him.
Finally, the man reached the front of the Outer and reached out to the crack where the black liquid was still flowing out like a burst dam.
Then he pulled something out of it.
It was the bullet that Se-un fired.
“I knew it.”
The identity of the bullet was revealed as the black liquid flowed down.
A meteorite fragment.
It was one of the fragments of the meteorite that was broken when the Outer burst out from the half-finished meteorite that the man had summoned to finish the experiment.
“Did you pick this up and process it in that situation?”
A bullet that was neatly processed to be used as a bullet, although not perfect.
It was clearly a fierce battle where his life could have been lost with just a little distraction, but he created such a means in that situation.
The man was newly impressed by Se-un.
“The rumors are true… no, more than that.”
Could it be that he is hungry as much as he suffered?
Se-un’s stigma shone and began to absorb the flowing Outer.
The man, who had been leisurely watching the battle, didn’t like this and tried to stop it by raising his hand.
Se-un had already used all his strength and even used his last resort, so he was in a state where it was difficult to move even a finger.
At that moment.
Kwaaaang-!!
The ceiling of the experimental site collapsed.
Whether by coincidence or intention, the debris of the ceiling collapsed right above the man’s head.
The man had no choice but to frown and step back.
“Are you okay?”
Of course, it was Kang Han-cheol who collapsed the ceiling.
Seeing the blood dripping from the gauntlets made of meteorite, it seemed that he had smashed the floor mindlessly to collapse the ceiling.
“Hyungnim, I’m here!”
“Se-un!”
Diablo Guild members began to enter through the collapsed ceiling.
Lee Ha-neul was the first to approach and heal Se-un, and the others naturally recognized the enemy and raised their weapons towards the man.
“What about above?”
“It’s all cleared up. Harry has even finished exploring, so there won’t be any Outer left alive.”
It hadn’t been long since the Outer went up, but they had already dealt with them all.
As expected, the power of the Diablo Guild was beyond Se-un’s expectations.
The more equipment made of meteorites increased, the stronger the power would become.
For a moment, he wondered if Mammon could make more essence of the meteorite…….
– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ says that extracting the essence from the meteorite was as difficult and absurd as squeezing oil from a rock.
– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ asserts that he will never do such a troublesome thing again.
It seemed difficult.
Soon after, Baek-hyun, who arrived last, proudly showed Se-un the sealing tool made of meteorite with a happy expression.
“I was able to get a new sample. Thanks to you, I think I can spend the remaining time in Jeheton fruitfully.”
– The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling Death,’ is pleased that he is indeed his contractor and that he should experiment with all the information he has obtained this time.
He would actually capture more Outer.
Looking at the reaction of his constellation, Gamigin, it seemed that he would experiment with the experiments he saw in the experimental cave on the undead.
It seemed dangerous, but an undead with the power of the Outer would definitely be a great force.
One of the ways to deal with the Outer, except for the meteorite, would be to attack the Outer with the Outer.
“You’ve already made equipment with meteorites. That’s fast. Even if you’re a *yeokhaengja* [regressor], the existence of meteorites wouldn’t be well known.”
“……*Yeokhaengja*?”
At that moment, Se-un doubted his ears.
Here, *yeokhaengja* could only mean Se-un, who had gone back in time.
The man tilted his head, seeing Se-un’s bewildered expression.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know? I’m watching the actions of you *yeokhaengja* closely. Variables must be thoroughly supervised.”
The problem didn’t end there.
*Yeokhaengja*’deul’*irani…….* (*Yeokhaengja*’deul’* means ‘Regressors’ in plural form)
Doesn’t that mean that there are more players who have gone back in time besides Se-un?
Se-un, who had thought that he had to prevent the invasion of the Outer alone until now, had no choice but to be shocked.
“I’d like to cut off the buds here, but…… it seems you’ve raised your colleagues well.”
Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah, etc., all aimed their weapons at the man.
Thanks to that, Se-un was able to raise his head proudly and face the man, even though he had run out of energy.
“It’s a shame, but I’ll have to stop here. Well, I’ve found out some pretty fresh information…… I’ll have to ‘learn’ these later.”
That guy is dangerous.
He not only knew about the fact of regression, but also seemed to know about the events before the regression.
Moreover, he had the power to handle the Outer, so if he was left alone, he was likely to be more dangerous than the Outer.
“Yoo Seo-ah!”
Taat!
Yoo Seo-ah, who understood Se-un’s intentions, immediately ran to Kang Han-cheol.
Kang Han-cheol, who nodded silently, received Yoo Seo-ah with his fist and powerfully stretched forward.
Soon after, Yoo Seo-ah took out her twin swords and powerfully stretched out like a missile.
The twin swords shone with Baal’s divinity, sending out two streaks of light.
Swish-
It passed by the man.
“It seems you’ve raised your colleagues well. I’ve learned quite a lot, so I’ll be satisfied with this today. Anyway…… you can’t change the predetermined future.”
The man’s body, split in two, turned into a black liquid and burst out.
He couldn’t kill him.
He succeeded in removing the Outer, which was the original purpose, but he failed to deal with the man, who was judged to be more dangerous.
Innumerable messages from the constellations were rising before his eyes, and there were too many things to think about, but Se-un couldn’t continue thinking.
Thud.
“Guild leader! Get a hold of yourself!”
“Hyungnim, Hyungnim! Hyungniiiiim!”
Was it because the tension was relieved?
Se-un’s body, which was already exhausted and precarious, collapsed powerlessly to the floor.
