Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 288

The Vault of the Demon God – 292

292

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Flowery Sword Style, Embroidered Ball Flower, is enhanced.

A pure white Embroidered Ball Flower bloomed where Yoo Seo-ah had been standing.

Not only was its appearance beautiful, but even a subtle floral fragrance emanated from it.

An unsuspecting person might be captivated and admire the sight, but Yoo Seo-ah hurriedly escaped the range of the Embroidered Ball Flower.

And immediately.

Swoosh!

The spot where the Embroidered Ball Flower bloomed was sharply carved out.

The debris from the cut-off rock alone numbered in the hundreds.

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Blood Wolf Sword Style, Blood Wolf’s Roar, is enhanced.

Next was the roar of the wolf.

The sword energy, spread wide to target Yoo Seo-ah, who was faster than Kang Han-cheol, expanded outwards.

Yet, Yoo Seo-ah twisted her body like an acrobat, dodging all the sword energy.

“Not bad? I thought at least one would graze you.”

“‘Not bad’ my foot! I can’t even properly counterattack!”

– Through internal energy, the first form of the Ice White Divine Palm, Ice Field, is enhanced.

Following that, Se-un, in a pose reminiscent of Kang Han-cheol, spread his palm and struck the ground.

Along with the chill spreading instead of vibrations, the surrounding ground turned into cold ice.

“Doesn’t work, as expected.”

He had hoped, but as expected.

Yoo Seo-ah maintained her rapid speed even on the ice, as if it were natural. She even zigzagged to confuse his vision and launched a counterattack.

– The Constellation, ‘Spider Wearing a Crown,’ is delighted by the dazzling movements as if riding a spiderweb.

However, Se-un wasn’t one to just watch the counterattack.

As he exerted force on the palm touching the ground, sharp ice thorns rose from the cold ice.

The second form of the Ice White Divine Palm, Ice Peak.

Even though the ice thorns precisely identified and aimed at her path of movement, Yoo Seo-ah sensed the attack with only a slight vibration and escaped the range of the ice thorns.

Squeak, squeak-

In the midst of this, Se-un heard a faint noise.

He hadn’t noticed it due to the noise from the battle, but an irritating sound, like scratching a chalkboard, continued to be heard.

‘Is that it?’

The two swords of Yoo Seo-ah, who he thought was just desperately dodging attacks, were lying on the ground.

Looking around, he saw that a giant spiderweb drawn with the twin swords had already spread around Se-un.

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

Whoosh!

The spiderweb drawn on the ice shimmered red and covered Se-un.

The spiderweb, infused with Baal’s divinity, seemed impossible to cut with ordinary attacks.

Fortunately, Se-un, having foreseen it just before the spiderweb rose, calmly straightened his sword while shining his stigmata [a divine mark or symbol].

– Mount Tai Blood Wolf is enhanced through internal energy.

– Heat is added to the martial art according to the mysteries of the Violet Mist Divine Art.

The giant wolf made of internal energy bit into the spiderweb.

No matter how much it was the Mount Tai Blood Wolf, it would be difficult to tear apart a spiderweb imbued with divinity, but the Mount Tai Blood Wolf that Se-un unleashed was also filled with the power of ‘Madness.’

Moreover, the internal energy, which had already turned into hot yang energy [a concept in Chinese philosophy representing the active, masculine principle], emitted heat and burned the spiderweb.

Clang!

“Looks like a new technique?”

“It’s not like I’ve been resting either!”

Se-un blocked Yoo Seo-ah’s sword, which had come right in front of him as soon as he escaped the spiderweb.

A brief confrontation ensued, but Yoo Seo-ah couldn’t overcome Se-un’s strength.

As soon as the distance widened, Se-un took a new stance that he had never shown before.

“You’ll have to block well.”

“Huh? Don’t tell me…….”

The internal energy in his dantian [energy center in the body, according to traditional Chinese medicine], which had turned into yang energy to burn the spiderweb, was heated even more intensely.

Beyond simply being hot, it bubbled inside his dantian as if water were boiling.

Hot steam flowed from his mouth as yang energy swirled inside his body.

– Violet Mist Sword Art’s second form, Flower Rain Fan Shape, is enhanced through internal energy.

– Heat is added to the martial art according to the mysteries of the Violet Mist Divine Art.

Until recently, the Violet Mist Sword Art required quite a long preparation even to use the first form.

Although he had raised the yang energy in advance, this was the second form of an advanced martial art, not even the first form.

At the moment Yoo Seo-ah felt a sense of crisis and covered the front with a spiderweb to create a sword barrier.

Whoosh-!!

The second form of the Violet Mist Sword Art revealed itself.

Purple flames spread out in a fan shape, engulfing Yoo Seo-ah.

The flames flickered like flower petals, beautifully coloring the surroundings, but from Yoo Seo-ah’s perspective, who was being attacked, it only looked like the sulfur fire of hell.

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

A long thread emerged from the overflowing purple flower garden and was pulled taut, allowing her to escape from the flower garden.

Although she barely dodged it, her body was scorched in various places, and her armor was in tatters.

This was also thanks to Se-un controlling his power. Originally, the power of the Flower Rain Fan Shape was even stronger than this.

“Hah, hah…….”

Yoo Seo-ah, who had released the thread and fallen into the air, took a deep breath.

Within the range of the Flower Rain Fan Shape, it was difficult to breathe properly due to the burning heat.

“Are you okay?”

“How can you ask if I’m okay after suddenly launching such an attack?”

Yoo Seo-ah said with an angry expression.

Se-un was slightly taken aback, but soon realized it was a joke when he heard a snicker from Yoo Seo-ah’s mouth.

“Hehe, just kidding. I was thinking about my next move, but I didn’t expect such a powerful attack.”

“I can’t hit you with ordinary attacks. Here, drink this.”

“Thank you.”

Se-un threw a potion to Yoo Seo-ah.

It was a potion that Lee Ha-neul had been buying herbs and other ingredients from Jeheton to make recently, and its effects were quite remarkable.

The Blue Turtle Merchant Group also recognized its effectiveness and was selling it at a high price.

“As expected, the potion made by Ha-neul unnie [term for older sister in Korean] is delicious. All the others were either bitter or fishy.”

“You’ve become quite close, haven’t you?”

“But I’m still keeping my distance officially. If I get too close, it will cause problems with command. ……Especially, people like Jung-pil.”

“That guy needs to be pecked at sometimes.”

“Hehe, that’s right. But he reads the atmosphere when I get serious.”

“I made him able to read the atmosphere.”

“You mean that ‘education’?”

“That’s right.”

During the naturally created break, Se-un and Yoo Seo-ah moved to the outskirts of the base and sat on a random rock.

A cool sea breeze wrapped around their bodies, and the coast, densely packed with reefs, was visible before them.

Due to these reefs and the rugged terrain, this area was unused in Jeheton.

“But weren’t we too loud?”

“Don’t worry. I put up a barrier in advance.”

“A soundproofing magic…… was it Silence?”

“You know it well?”

“I’m studying magic to fight Se-un.”

“I should fight you with only magic next time.”

“Yes! No, please use your sword too. I’m confident!”

“Okay, okay.”

A short break.

Feeling the cool sea breeze, Se-un revealed his stigmata during a break in the conversation.

Soon after, a dark red aura swirled beside the stigmata, creating the form of a wolf.

– Did you call, my master?

The wolf summoned with the power of destruction bowed its head to Se-un as soon as it was summoned, expressing its obedience, but its eyes still gleamed as if it would bare its fangs at any moment.

Perhaps it hadn’t completely recognized Se-un as its master yet?

“Wow! What is that? Amazing.”

“It’s a new power I’ve gained.”

“It suits you well! But, um…….”

Yoo Seo-ah hesitated before saying the next word.

Se-un, guessing what she was about to say, chuckled softly and answered for her.

“It resembles Outer, doesn’t it?”

“A little…….”

Although it had a red aura, its unique energy and the liquid flowing from its body were very similar to Outer.

Se-un had felt it from the beginning.

Whether it was because it grew by eating Outer’s power, or whether it was like that from the start…….

There was still so much he didn’t know about this power.

“But what’s its name?”

“Name?”

“Don’t tell me you haven’t given it a name yet? It’s not a one-time summon.”

“That’s true…….”

He hadn’t even thought about it. After all, this wolf wasn’t a pet.

From the beginning, it was a power derived from Se-un’s stigmata, so he had only thought of it as part of his ability.

‘Well, it seems to have a separate ego.’

Giving it a name wouldn’t be bad. He couldn’t just keep calling it wolf, wolf.

Grrr-

Se-un stroked the wolf’s head a few times and soon came up with a name.

“Ruin.”

– Ruin?

“That’s your name from now on.”

– Ruin…….

The wolf repeated its name.

He wondered if it was doing that because it didn’t like the name, but soon realized that it quite liked the name from the growling sound he heard.

– Thank you. My master.

The wolf’s gaze, which had been blazing, went down. No, Ruin’s gaze went down.

It was a very simple process of giving a name, but the system seemed to think it was something else.

As soon as Ruin bowed its head, numerous messages obscured Se-un’s vision.

– You have bestowed a unique name upon the Wolf of Destruction.

– The Wolf of Destruction’s name is set to ‘Ruin.’

– ‘Ruin’s’ ego is recognized, and its independent range of activity expands.

– ‘Ruin’s’ ego is recognized, and its individual judgment ability increases.

…….

‘Was giving a name that important?’

There were more than ten messages visible right away. That meant Ruin had become that much stronger.

Well, even Constellations mostly hide their real names and operate…….

It was clear that the higher the rank, the heavier the weight of the name, even if it was unknown to ordinary people.

“Wow, what happened? It suddenly got bigger. Its aura seems stronger too.”

“It’s thanks to you.”

“Me?”

“The name. I wouldn’t have thought of it if I was alone.”

“Hehe, I’m glad I could help.”

Se-un immediately began to check Ruin’s strengthened power.

Divinity, unlike mana or internal energy, doesn’t get stronger as you use it, but that’s why he needed to know its exact power even more.

“Run. As high as you can.”

– I understand. My master!

Thump!

With a leap so great that the floor caved in, Ruin soared high into the sky.

Ruin’s body, shot like a missile, only stopped its speed when it reached the clouds.

An incredible leaping sound.

However, that much of Se-un’s divinity was also shaved off and disappeared.

Next.

“Spin around. Slowly.”

– ……Grrr?

“Just like that. Just stroll around leisurely.”

– ……I understand.

Ruin tilted its head and then slowly moved its body as Se-un instructed.

It was quite cute to see it spinning around like a puppy chasing its tail.

Moreover, as the instructions were simple, the amount of divinity consumed was also insignificant.

‘I need to refine the commands.’

If he did well, he might be able to lower the power to increase the duration, or create various movements or tactics with a single instruction.

Ruin’s ego was that outstanding.

While Se-un was planning Ruin’s utilization, someone came from afar with the clattering sound of horses and voices.

“Se-un! There’s a customer looking for you at the store!”

It seemed today’s training would end here.
