Raiding the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 303

Episode 303

– Welcome to the Trial of the 42nd Floor.

– Theme: Labyrinth of Water

– You have entered the legendary ‘Maze of Myriad Paths.’

– Explore the labyrinth and find the entrance to the next labyrinth.

The first thing I felt upon arriving on the 42nd floor was a chilling cold.

No wonder, as the Water Labyrinth is made of water and ice. The cold emanating from the ice that made up the entire terrain made me instinctively shrink back.

‘Looks like an ordinary 42nd floor on the surface.’

I thought it would be different since I came through a ‘lid’ instead of another exit, but the Water Labyrinth wasn’t much different from the one I entered before my regression.

Splish, splash.

Besides the ice walls, the entire floor of the passage was covered with about 10cm of water.

It wasn’t all uniform; there were deep puddles and areas where the water deepened, so I had to be careful moving around.

Swish.

Before seriously tackling the labyrinth, Se-un unfurled a scroll and read the passage related to the 42nd floor.

It was still a childish diary, even after seeing it again.

They could have at least drawn a picture.

– Cool! If I connect this, I can control the humidity and drink water whenever I’m thirsty, right? Yeah, good! But how do I draw the water? Eh, I’ll just break it!

– ……Uh oh, did I break too much?

This is serious.

The only clue is ‘Did I break too much?’

From the start, this was just a diary, not a map, so I can’t really say anything, but this is a bit much.

‘Well, I can roughly guess.’

He said he broke too much trying to connect the water.

Considering the size of the lid I saw on the 41st floor, Belphegor must have used the phrase ‘too much’ because the destruction was more significant than I thought.

Water must be leaking from there, so I just need to follow the direction the water is moving.

Fortunately, the water calmly covering the passage was quietly flowing somewhere.

I thought I might eventually reach my destination if I followed the flow.

Poof!

While moving along the flow.

Semi-transparent tentacles rose from the puddle in front.

– Through internal energy, the first form of the Blood Wolf Sword Art, Blood Wolf Claw, is enhanced.

And, tentacles that were cut off without even touching Se-un upon their appearance.

‘I don’t really feel a difference in difficulty.’

Before entering this place, the Tower even displayed a system message warning about the difficulty here.

But just looking at the tentacles I just cut off, it was the same level as the Water Labyrinth I remembered.

Whoosh-

Suddenly, I heard a refreshing sound of water from the front of the passage.

Water Labyrinths also had waterfalls, so it wasn’t surprising, but Se-un noticed something strange in the sound.

‘An echo?’

The sound of the waterfall echoed.

That meant one thing. There was a huge cavity ahead.

I haven’t walked much yet, but could I have arrived at my destination already?

Se-un’s pace quickened.

And at the end of the passage, I arrived.

“Crazy……”

A spectacle far beyond Se-un’s common sense unfolded.

Whoosh-!!

The identity of the sound from the passage wasn’t the sound of a waterfall naturally existing in the Water Labyrinth.

It was a waterfall created by water falling below because the floor had collapsed so much.

Water was flowing down from all the severed passages, so the sound of the waterfall was especially loud, and it was natural for the space to echo.

“This is ‘Did I break too much?’”

My entire field of vision was wide open.

I expected a crater of a decent size, but this was a huge lake that easily surpassed any soccer stadium.

Even though the water was so clear and transparent, the bottom was so deep that I couldn’t see it.

‘There’s no path either.’

I have no choice but to swim in this cold water.

Moreover, I could see hundreds of monsters teeming beneath the surface.

As all the water was flowing towards this place, the monsters that existed everywhere had flowed here, creating a huge ecosystem.

‘Well, shall we go?’

Fortunately, unlike the Labyrinth of Earth, the direction to the destination is clear. Even in the lake, the water was flowing in one direction.

With a splash, Se-un fell into the water.

And with that, the monsters beneath the surface bared their teeth at Se-un.

* * *

The Trial of the 45th Floor. No, a hidden floor that cannot be called a typical Trial of the 45th Floor.

There, as Se-un had learned, the ‘Demon God of Sloth, Belphegor’ was taking a nap.

“You look beautiful even in your sleep today.”

Belphegor’s subordinate.

A demon, mainly called a butler, was tidying up the surroundings for Belphegor’s peaceful sleep, as always.

Adjusting the temperature, adjusting the humidity, and preparing new bedding.

He had been repeating this action for hundreds of years in this place for Belphegor’s sleep.

Contrary to inheriting the authority of sloth, he doesn’t even sleep.

“I hope today is just like this.”

That was what he always said after finishing the day’s inspection.

Just as the butler was about to return to his place.

Thud-

A slight vibration was felt through the ceiling of the labyrinth.

No, in fact, it was ambiguous to even call it a vibration. The vibration just now was so subtle and faint that even a bug couldn’t feel it.

However, with that, the butler’s feet stopped as if frozen.

“Hmm……”

A small stir was felt from Belphegor, who was buried in the blanket.

At that moment, the butler’s expression twisted horribly like that of a demon everyone knew.

“Who the hell dares……”

He knew of the intruder’s existence.

It was the first time in hundreds of years, but the intruder would only be a player, and he didn’t think he would reach this place.

He had been deliberately leaving him alone because he had to take care of Belphegor here. But that bastard just made Belphegor stir.

“Lord Belphegor…… I’ll take care of it and come back soon.”

The butler’s eyes flashed as he picked up a dusty weapon.

Vowing to cut off the mouth of the one who dared to make his god Belphegor stir in his sleep, then tear his limbs apart and kill him so he wouldn’t make any noise.

He moved his body above the labyrinth where Se-un existed.

No, before that.

“Oops, I forgot to hang up the blanket. I can’t leave this out, no matter what.”

So that his god could use fluffy bedding, he didn’t forget to hang up the blanket.

* * *

– According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Giga Lightning’ is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Green Tower, the speed of ‘Giga Lightning’ is increased.

– According to the mysteries of the Violet Tower, the casting speed of ‘Giga Lightning’ is increased.

– According to the mysteries of the Red Tower, the range of ‘Giga Lightning’ is expanded.

Dark clouds thicken in the ice-covered ceiling.

Soon after, purple lightning strikes down.

As the dozens of lightning bolts pierced the surface of the lake, the monsters that were rushing towards Se-un floated up, exposing their bellies.

‘Damn, there are so many.’

I could only realize it after entering the lake.

Why the system sent a warning before entering the 42nd floor.

As all the monsters from the entire Water Labyrinth flowed into the lake, a fierce survival competition was taking place.

As I jumped into the middle of it, Se-un naturally participated in the survival competition.

Of course, there was one person who extremely welcomed this situation.

– With the authority of Gluttony, the giant lake existing in the ‘Water Labyrinth’ has been designated.

– The Fangs of Gluttony pounce on the monsters!

Every time lightning strikes, dozens, hundreds of monsters float up.

It was a welcome sight that Beelzebub couldn’t help but like.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ sucks up the prey, saying, ‘Isn’t this the seafood stew I’ve only heard about?’

As Se-un moved inward along the water flow, the ecosystem changed significantly.

If the place where I first jumped in was full of piranhas, stronger predators began to increase as I went deeper.

The purpose of the labyrinth, which was to find a path, had already faded.

‘This will be over pretty quickly here.’

It’s over if I just move in the direction the water is flowing.

Even though the size of the lake is wider than I imagined, it’s much faster than wandering around the labyrinth, so I might be able to attack the Water Labyrinth today.

Fizz!

Purple lightning struck again.

As I reached the inside, there were monsters that barely survived Se-un’s magic.

– Through internal energy, the fourth form of the Blood Wolf Sword Art, Blood Wolf Roar, is enhanced.

Crunch-

Those guys also lost their lives after being cut off before reaching Se-un.

With the ‘Mermaid’s Gills’ and ‘Merman’s Fins’ taken out of Mammon’s warehouse, even underwater could not stop Se-un.

How long had I been swimming?

The current gradually quickened, and the number of monsters decreased.

A huge whirlpool was raging in front, sucking the surrounding water down.

‘It’s there.’

Thinking that, Se-un grabbed Apheliotes instead of Durendal and jumped into the whirlpool. After all, a spear is more suitable than a sword for resisting strong currents.

It’s also easier to deal with suddenly appearing monsters.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ recognizes the existence of a special meal.

As expected, as soon as I broke through the whirlpool, I saw a monster.

The very center of the whirlpool, which could be called the eye of the storm. The monster was sitting above the drain created by Belphegor.

‘A sea anemone?’

It was a monster that Se-un was seeing for the first time.

At first glance, it looked like a plant, but it was shaking its tentacles with its mouth wide open in the center of the whirlpool.

And soon, I could see how it was hunting.

“Krek, Krereureu-”

A shark caught in the whirlpool is entangled in the sea anemone’s tentacles.

The shark tries to resist, but its screams gradually subside, perhaps because there is poison in the tentacles.

The moment its movement stops, it shoves the entire body of the large shark into its mouth.

Crunch!

That’s how that monster hunts.

It was virtually the top predator in this lake.

This violent whirlpool was a shield that protected it from monster attacks and a supply network that brought it prey.

However, Se-un didn’t see it as a very intimidating monster.

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Ice Dragon Spear Art, Ice Dragon Fall, is enhanced.

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

Crack!

The tip of Apheliotes freezes coldly.

With that, the fifth form of the Ice Dragon Spear Art, Ice Dragon Manifestation, was also unleashed, and ice wings formed around Se-un.

Unlike the ones I used before, the wings had a smooth shape like fins.

“Have you ever heard of sea anemone skewers?”

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ cheers greatly, saying that anything you cook will be delicious.

Se-un’s body shot down, and the raging whirlpool froze coldly.
