Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 305

309

– Welcome to the 45th floor trial.

– Theme: Labyrinth of Sloth

– You have arrived at the hidden end of the legendary ‘Labyrinth of Myriad Paths.’

– Gain recognition from the current master of the labyrinth.

The moment Se-woon passed through the passage with the demon, the trial of the 45th floor began.

Labyrinth of Sloth.

Of course, it was different from the end of the labyrinth Se-woon had reached before his regression.

‘The 45th floor trial varies depending on which path you choose in the labyrinth.’

The final labyrinth has different objectives depending on the type of labyrinth.

There were various goals, from defeating boss monsters to finding treasures or destroying targets.

In Se-woon’s case before the regression, he obtained a kukri [a curved Nepalese knife] after fighting a pack of wolves in a jungle-filled labyrinth.

I remembered that its attack power wasn’t that high, but its versatility was so great that I used it until the end.

‘If it’s the master of the labyrinth, it must be Belphegor.’

What was certain was that he had arrived properly at his destination, Belphegor’s resting place.

I was worried about finding my way here while interpreting that difficult diary, but I felt a little relieved now that I had entered.

“Let me introduce myself. I am McQueen, the first servant and butler who follows the Demon God, and the Great Dream Demon in the Demon World.”

“Jung Se-woon.”

“You’re brief.”

“You attacked first, should I use honorifics?”

“I don’t mind… but if you maintain that attitude towards the Demon God, I will personally trap you in an eternal nightmare.”

Se-woon simply looked ahead and walked without answering.

Even if he didn’t say that, he had no intention of speaking informally in front of the Demon God.

Se-woon usually used honorifics thoroughly even when Beelzebub seemed immature and young.

Clang.

As soon as he went down the stairs, McQueen opened the door.

He must have paid a lot of attention to the noise, as there was no friction sound at all even though the large door was being opened.

“Be careful where you step from here. Quietly, carefully. Look around well. I will not tolerate any noise that disturbs sleep.”

McQueen glared at Se-woon with a fierce look.

In fact, the moment he opened the door, he felt not only that there was no sound from his footsteps, but even his heartbeat had decreased.

It was a difficult order to even reduce the sound of his footsteps, but Se-woon had no worries. Se-woon, who had already trained Kilker’s Stealth Technique to its limit, made no noise at all from his footsteps.

“…I like your footsteps.”

The size of the shelter was larger than expected.

Thanks to this, Se-woon was able to leisurely admire the surroundings while walking.

‘Everything is really connected here.’

The walls on all sides were made of earthen walls like those in the Labyrinth of Earth.

Thanks to this, temperature and soundproofing were reliably maintained.

“The Demon God personally broke through the base, and I took care of the detailed details. The hole you see there is the hole connected to the Labyrinth of Water.”

Secondly, the Labyrinth of Water.

Water trickled out of the hole in the wall, maintaining the humidity of the room, and even the sound of the water sounded like a peaceful sleep sound perfect for falling asleep.

Third, the Labyrinth of Fire.

Whoosh-

A small flame flickered from the ceiling, keeping the shelter warm.

It was difficult to maintain a constant room temperature with heat emanating from the ceiling rather than the floor, but the heat seemed to be enveloping the entire room as if some special method had been applied.

“You must have seen it too. That is the flame being controlled by the prisoner of the Labyrinth of Fire.”

“To maintain the punishment for nearly a thousand years, it’s quite harsh.”

“Harsh? If it were other Demon Gods, they would have issued an immediate execution. Our Demon God is generous enough to spare his life.”

Indeed, in the Demon World, strength was more important than law.

Rather than imposing punishment, they would kill, or even if they punished a crime that did not reach that level, they would destroy the core and lose all power.

A demon who has lost power in the Demon World is just prey, so the result would be the same.

“Come to think of it, that guy’s punishment is also coming to an end. I’ll have to come up with a new way to manage the temperature soon.”

“I can help you with that.”

“You?”

“Believe it or not, I have some insight into enchantment [a magical process of imbuing objects with power].”

It’s easy to draw heat from the Labyrinth of Fire.

Se-woon’s enchantment skills had reached their peak after using dozens, hundreds of enchantments in Zeheton.

It would be annoying, but it would be worth it if he could make a good impression on Belphegor.

“Well, Dekarabia’s magic was also used to finish the ventilation duct connected to the Labyrinth of Wind.”

“Of course, it wouldn’t be for free, right?”

“Don’t try to climb up, human. No matter how outstanding your talent is, you will have no future if you are not recognized by the Demon God.”

I wondered, but it seems he doesn’t have a light personality like River.

During the move to Belphegor, I saw various landscapes other than the passages connected to the four labyrinths.

All of them were designed to help with optimal sleep, showing how serious Belphegor was about sleep.

“Reduce your breathing.”

McQueen’s voice dropped sharply. At this, Se-woon realized that the meeting with Belphegor was imminent.

And at the place he arrived.

‘This is really something.’

A huge bed was installed.

A bed decorated with white cushions and blankets and pink lace that did not match the surrounding atmosphere.

In particular, the blanket looked so fluffy as if it had just been taken out, that I wanted to jump in right away.

“Kneel and bow your head.”

Since it was his first meeting with Belphegor, Se-woon obediently followed McQueen’s words.

He knelt on one knee and bowed his head, waiting for Belphegor to get up.

Like that for 1 minute.

‘……?’

I could tell because I was even holding my breath.

There was no sign of movement from the bed.

Still, McQueen was maintaining silence right next to him, so Se-woon held back and maintained his posture.

Like that for 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes.

Belphegor did not get up even after time passed.

Eventually, Se-woon, unable to bear it, quietly turned his head and spoke to McQueen.

“Why isn’t he waking up?”

“He is waking up. It’s just that it takes a little time as it’s been a while since he woke up.”

“How long will it take?”

“The most recent wake-up time was about… a week. His stretching was surprisingly beautiful.”

In an instant, Se-woon felt his head go blank.

A week?

In other words, does that mean I have to endure being in this position for a week?

It was a situation no different from torture, but McQueen’s face was calm.

No, rather, he was glancing at the bed with a blissful face as if he was moved.

‘Is he a pervert?’

I wanted to sound the alarm right away.

However, if I forcibly wake him up and irritate Belphegor, it may interfere with future conversations, so I had no choice but to sigh and take a small breath, at that moment.

Rustle-

For the first time, a sign of life was felt on the bed.

– You! I clearly told you to reduce your breathing!

McQueen’s voice echoed in my head.

Turning his head to the voice that was buzzing in his head and causing a headache, McQueen had thrown away his blissful expression from just now and had a ferocious face as if to prove that he was a demon.

Even in an angry situation, he was expressing his anger using telepathy, showing a level of dedication to his mission that seemed excessive.

“Ummm……”

Before McQueen’s anger could continue, a new sound was heard from the bed.

This time, it wasn’t just a stir, but Belphegor’s voice.

At this, McQueen’s face paled.

Without even having time to get angry, he turned his head towards the bed and bowed his head.

“Mc……”

“Did you call, Demon God!”

“I want something to drink……”

“I will bring it to you right away!”

McQueen flapped his wings behind his back and flew back urgently.

Perhaps because he had been bending his legs and then suddenly stretched them out, there was a snap- sound, but he didn’t seem to care.

Where did the words to silence the sound go? There was a crashing sound from behind.

Following this, there was a sound of flames boiling, and McQueen appeared with a small glass.

“This is the warm milk you always drink.”

“Thank you……”

Belphegor, still drowsy as if he hadn’t fully woken up, took the blanket off and revealed himself with a hazy answer.

He carefully takes the glass of milk with his small, white hands.

It was a small cup that looked smaller than a thumb when McQueen held it, but it felt large when Belphegor held it with his small hands.

‘That’s the Demon God of Sloth?’

The Demon God of Greed, Mammon, who appeared flapping his black wings and suppressed the scene in an instant with an overwhelming voice.

The Demon God of Jealousy, Leviathan, who toyed with Triton as if he were a toy with his huge body encompassing the entire Black Sea.

These two were the first images that came to mind when thinking of a Demon God, so I had steeled myself before meeting Belphegor.

However, the appearance of Belphegor was far beyond Se-woon’s imagination.

“Ummm, warm~”

“Does it suit your taste?”

“Uung! I feel like my body is melting!”
Hair that came down long enough to cover the pillow past his waist and was curly, with a round face like a child. A navy blue pajamas with sparse yellow crescent patterns.

No matter how you look at it, he was an unmistakable sleepyhead girl.

“Hooah, I drank it all! Thank you, Mac!”

“It is an honor, Demon God.”

McQueen took the glass of milk that Belphegor had finished drinking.

He wasn’t even cleaning it up, and he was treating the glass of milk like a treasure and putting it in his arms, which made me a little creeped out.

Considering the blissful expression he showed earlier, I wonder if he’s really a pervert.

‘Well, if he wasn’t like that, he wouldn’t have been able to endure it until now.’

River was left in the Labyrinth of Fire due to punishment, but McQueen was different.

He voluntarily remained by Belphegor’s side, assisting Belphegor and helping him sleep for nearly a thousand years.

A normal demon would never have been able to do it.

Belphegor turned his head after drinking all the milk, and Se-woon opened his mouth first.

“I greet the Demon God of Sloth.”

“Ummm, is that you?”

Belphegor got up from his seat.

He gets off the bed while holding a giraffe-shaped pillow he was lying on, but the process seems quite difficult because he is short.

In the end, McQueen grabbed him by the armpits and lowered him.

Belphegor, who got off the bed, yawned loudly and stood in front of Se-woon.

“The regressor who raided Mammon’s vault and used a replica of Chronos.”
