Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 314

Stole the Demon God’s Vault – Episode 318

Chapter 318

KWA-BOOM-!!

The arena was collapsing, with stone fragments scattering everywhere.

Amidst the chaos, before I could even gather my senses, Kang Han-cheol’s fist came flying.

How could he attack Se-un so accurately when the dust completely blocked his vision?

The answer was simple.

‘Vibration.’

As the Apostle of Agares, the second-ranked Great Demon, Kang Han-cheol inherited the power of earthquakes.

Previously, he could only spread vibrations by swinging his fist, but Kang Han-cheol was different now.

He could perceive vibrations in reverse, accurately detecting the enemy’s movements even in the dust.

Kang Han-cheol hadn’t just become stronger; he had also become incredibly adept at combat.

‘When did he get so skilled?’

He wasn’t this good back in Jeheton.

Watching him fight now was like watching a veteran who had been through countless battles.

His growth rate was truly unbelievable.

Even for Se-un, with his heightened senses, normal combat was impossible in this dust and noise.

Evading the approaching fist, Se-un momentarily adopted a stance and extended his palm.

– The Eight Trigrams Palm’s fifth form, Lion’s Palm, is enhanced through internal energy.

WHOOSH!

With a sonic boom that sounded like a roaring lion, the surrounding dust cleared.

As if waiting for Se-un to make this move, Kang Han-cheol also took a stance and thrust his fist forward.

Although the distance was considerable, Se-un recognized the technique.

‘Air Strike.’

An attack that imbued Agares’ power into the fist, colliding with the air instead of the ground.

In an instant, the air was compressed by the fist and shot towards Se-un like a cannon.

Although invisible, its power was in no way inferior to being directly hit by Kang Han-cheol’s fist.

THUD!

Stepping on the Butterfly Dance, I deflected the impact using the mysteries of the Supreme Sword. Even then, I couldn’t completely deflect the impact, and Se-un’s posture momentarily faltered.

“I told you. If you don’t fight properly.”

By the time I regained my balance, Kang Han-cheol’s fist was already right in front of my nose.

I couldn’t let my guard down for even a moment, or his fist would land on my face.

However, Kang Han-cheol wasn’t the only one who could strike the air.

Using the Void Step, Se-un kicked off the air, flipped his body, and swung Durendal.

Although he wasn’t standing on solid ground, his body remembered the posture from hundreds, even thousands, of practices.

– The Mount Tai Blood Wolf is enhanced through internal energy.

– The power of the martial art is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Supreme Demonic Art.

“You’ll lose.”

KWA-BOOM!

Kang Han-cheol’s fist collided with the image of a giant wolf.

Whether it was because Kang Han-cheol’s fist was strong, or because Se-un had no ground to support himself, making the power even greater, I couldn’t tell.

The image of the giant wolf burst like a balloon with its mouth wide open.

Instead, Se-un rotated his body once more, landing stably on the ground.

“Use the Demon God’s power.”

Kang Han-cheol paused his attack and said.

In response, Se-un also aimed his sword at him and replied.

“Weren’t you wanting to fight only in close combat?”

“Only magic is unusable here. I have no intention of interfering with anything else.”

“The match will become boring.”

I knew what Kang Han-cheol meant by the Demon God’s power.

The Vault of Greed. The Demon God’s authority that Se-un acquired first upon his regression.

The power that had been Se-un’s greatest strength since the tutorial began.

‘Can I handle it?’

Se-un understood Kang Han-cheol’s feelings.

However, if he were to bring out Mammon’s Relic [Mammon is often associated with greed and wealth], the fierce battle might end anticlimactically. The power of Mammon’s Relic was that strong.

In fact, there were only a handful of opponents who had withstood that power and remained unscathed.

Perhaps sensing Se-un’s thoughts?

Kang Han-cheol frowned and continued.

“If you don’t, I’ll leave the guild.”

“What?”

“Show me your sincerity. I am serious right now.”

The look in his eyes before the match started remained firm.

Looking into those eyes, Se-un realized. He wasn’t being considerate of Kang Han-cheol right now, but rather, he was ignoring him.

Even if he didn’t think so, from the other person’s perspective, it was an action that could be humiliating.

Understanding his feelings, Se-un nodded.

“Alright.”

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ King’s Sword, Damro ]

– One of the master swordsmith Gu Yeoja’s legendary swords. A sword of emperors that only a king can possess.

The power of Damro was imbued into Durendal.

The blade took on a calm, deep blue light, exuding a chilling aura and overwhelming pressure.

Just holding the sword changed my mindset. It felt like standing at the forefront, leading tens of thousands of soldiers behind me.

A heavy sense of responsibility weighed on my shoulders, but a power equal to that responsibility overflowed from my grip.

“Take this.”

– The first form of the Supreme Demonic Sword, Heaven Breaker, is enhanced through internal energy.

– The power of the martial art is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Supreme Demonic Art.

The deep blue light cleaved the world.

As if tens of thousands of soldiers were charging forward in unison, thrusting their spears, a mighty roar crushed the world.

“I will.”

Kang Han-cheol didn’t evade; he simply raised his forearm, as if unafraid of tens of thousands of soldiers, silently blocking Se-un’s attack.

CLANG-!!

It wasn’t the expected impact sound.

The sword stopped moving forward, unmoving as if blocked by a rock.

The roar of the soldiers flowing from Damro subsided, and as the deep blue light faded, a thick leather blocking the sword came into view.

‘That appearance is…….’

A thick hide resembling crocodile skin surrounded Kang Han-cheol’s entire body like armor.

His head was also covered as if he had turned a crocodile’s head inside out, exuding a fierce aura.

– The Constellation, ‘Old Man Riding a Crocodile,’ strokes his crocodile, pleased with the Apostle’s appearance.

Apostle.

This meant someone close to a god, but even among Apostles, there were differences in power.

Everything varied depending on how much of the god’s power they had accepted, how much they could accept, and how much they could withstand.

Depending on the god, some bestowed all their power upon a single Apostle, some distributed their power equally among dozens of Apostles, and some simply gave the title of Apostle without paying any attention.

Kang Han-cheol’s case was the former.

Agares acknowledged Kang Han-cheol’s strength and bestowed his power to the limit, and Kang Han-cheol accepted that power to the limit.

The result was that very appearance.

– Player Kang Han-cheol accepts the form of ‘Agares’ Crocodile.’

Crocodile skin that even blocked the power of the King’s Sword, Damro.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Just as Se-un used Mammon’s power, Kang Han-cheol also accepted Agares’ power, blocking Se-un’s attack.

“Now it’s fair, right?”

THUD!

Kang Han-cheol lightly deflected Damro, which had become as heavy as the weight of responsibility befitting the name of the King’s Sword.

Sensing danger, Se-un lightly leaped back, creating distance.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

Each time Kang Han-cheol took a step, the ground trembled and screamed.

It wasn’t just swinging his fist; Agares’ authority flowed out simply from his feet touching the ground.

“Today, I will win.”

The giant crocodile’s forefoot struck the ground.

* * *

“Crazy, what is that?”

“Is he even the same player as us?”

“No, this is completely on a different level.”

The people watching Se-un and Kang Han-cheol’s battle were shocked in their own ways.

They had clearly gritted their teeth and worked hard to get this far, but these two were walking a path so far above them that they couldn’t even compare.

The shock came in two main forms.

“This is ridiculous…….”

“Do we have to compete with players like that when we climb the tower?”

“No way……. I can’t do that…….”

Those who felt crushed by the overwhelming difference in the wall before them.

And those who.

“Is that even the same human as us?”

“If we climb the tower, can we become like that too?”

“The limits I thought I had were just preconceptions. I thought it was the ceiling, but it was the sky.”

Those who admired the overwhelming power and imagined their own future.

In either direction, their match was stimulating the hearts of countless players.

The Diablo Guild was also shocked.

“Wow, was Han-cheol oppa that strong?”

“I knew he was strong, but I didn’t know he was this strong…….”

“So, you can maximize the Constellation’s power like that.”

“Is our hyung going to lose like that? I bet all my money on him this time!”

Even the guild members who were always with him were seeing this side of Kang Han-cheol for the first time.

Perhaps, it was the result of honing his strength alone for this very moment.

Even when others were resting after finishing their trials, Kang Han-cheol was always swinging his fist alone.

Among them, the most shocked was Diablo’s vice guild leader, Yoo Seo-ah.

‘He’s gotten this strong…….’

She had also worked as hard as anyone else, doing her best to run forward.

Recently, her growth rate had been so fast that she felt she could keep up with Se-un.

However, their mindsets were different.

She had only thought about following Se-un, but Kang Han-cheol had swung his fist with the thought of surpassing Se-un.

That difference had created the current result.

‘What…… have I been doing?’

She realized that thinking she could follow Se-un in this state was arrogance.

This wouldn’t do.

While everyone was unable to take their eyes off the two’s match, Yoo Seo-ah quietly got up from her seat and turned around.

“Baal-nim.”

– The Constellation, ‘Spider Wearing a Crown,’ flashes its eight eyes, saying it had been waiting for that mindset.

As if he couldn’t lose to Agares, Baal also revealed his divinity to Yoo Seo-ah to the fullest.

* * *

Each attack swung by the man wearing the crocodile-shaped armor, which looked ferocious at a glance, shook the air and shattered the earth.

No, even before that, the fact that he had nonchalantly blocked Damro proved his strength.

KWA-BOOM-!!

Opening, advance, clash, etc.

The power of every technique Kang Han-cheol used had risen by one level.

“I see.”

Se-un nodded.

He had seen Kang Han-cheol’s sincerity, so now it was his turn to reveal his own.

– The Eyes of Envy begin to gaze at ‘Kang Han-cheol.’

The authority of Leviathan, the Demon God of Jealousy, descended upon Kang Han-cheol.

“Ruin.”

– Grrr…….

A crimson wolf appeared next to Se-un, spreading killing intent.

“Turiek.”

– Yeah.

Purple wings spread wide behind Se-un.

– The Stigmata reacts to the tale of the Blood Wolf Legend.

– The second ability of the Stigmata, ‘Rage,’ awakens.

The Stigmata emitted a crimson light, strengthening Se-un’s body.

Preparing to face his opponent using all his power except for magic.

The aura had clearly changed even before the attack had begun.

Kang Han-cheol instinctively adjusted his stance and began to be wary.

“As you wish, I’ll pour out everything I have.”
