Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 315

319

True to his word about giving it his all, Se-woon’s fighting style changed drastically from that point on.

– The fifth form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Multitude Hunt, is enhanced through internal energy.

His body, strengthened by the power of frenzy, and Durendal, enhanced by Dam-ro’s power, were swung in quick succession.

The wolves, dyed dark blue by Dam-ro, tore at Kang Han-cheol’s thick armor of Strong Steel.

– Keureung!

As Kang Han-cheol focused on defense, Ruin, who had been waiting for an opportunity from the side, lunged at his legs.

Even though Ruin’s power was more specialized for dealing with Outers or Constellations, its strength was still beyond that of an average player.

Yet, Kang Han-cheol stood firm as if his feet were rooted to the ground.

– The sixth form of the Mount Tai Eighteen Style Sword, Mount Tai Split, is enhanced through internal energy.

– The first form of the North Sea Sword Art, North Sea Winter Knot, is enhanced through internal energy.

– The second form of the Violet Haze Sword Art, Flower Rain Fan Shape, is enhanced through internal energy.

Attacks without holding back power.

Under the relentless onslaught, Kang Han-cheol had no choice but to focus on defense, even with his alligator skin armor.

“If you keep pouring out your power like that, you’ll tire out quickly.”

“You won’t be able to sustain that power for long either, will you?”

The power Se-woon was referring to wasn’t the attacks he was unleashing now.

It was the power Kang Han-cheol had received from Agares. He was talking about the time he could maintain that thick alligator skin.

It was certainly impressive that he was enduring and receiving such a strong blessing from a Constellation, but he was still too inexperienced in handling the power.

He was just standing still and focusing on defense now, which would extend the duration, but even so, it would only last about 5 minutes at most.

Kang Han-cheol definitely wanted to end the match within that time.

‘Rather than blocking that power, it’s safer to overwhelm him.’

That was the judgment Se-woon made.

From the moment Dam-ro’s power was blocked, he could immediately recognize how dangerous that alligator form was.

There was only one thing to do now.

Push him relentlessly so that Kang Han-cheol couldn’t find a gap to counterattack.

– Aaaah! Player Jeong Se-woon is relentlessly attacking! Player Kang Han-cheol is struggling to defend! If he doesn’t show something soon, he’ll lose!

As Se-woon’s one-sided attack continued, the commentator excitedly opened his mouth.

“Waaaaaah!”

“Yeah, that’s it!”

“Push him harder!”

“What is that guy doing! Counterattack already! You have to break the 100th win!”

The audience was the same.

Even though they were cheering for different sides, they were all so engrossed as if they were participating in the match themselves, shouting at the top of their lungs.

However, the perspective of those with skill was slightly different.

“That’s dangerous.”

“The counterattack will begin the moment he stops attacking.”

“It’s not that he’s dominant, but he can’t stop because he knows that the moment he stops attacking, the advantage will be reversed.”

“By the way, it’s really amazing. To unleash such attacks relentlessly, and to withstand all those attacks perfectly.”

They grasped not only what was outwardly visible but also the true nature of the match.

It was a difficult aspect to grasp without one’s own strength and practical experience.

And the Diablo Guild members, aware of this fact, were quietly holding their breath compared to the other spectators.

Watching the two’s match, they were gaining a deeper understanding than anyone else in this place.

‘I didn’t know the two of them were so strong.’

‘I can understand Guild Leader, but was Han-cheol that strong?’

Perhaps, they had been climbing the Tower too easily, hiding in the shadow of Jeong Se-woon? They began to reflect on their past, thinking that way.

Kwagwagwagwang!!

In the meantime, Se-woon’s relentless attack continued.

At first, Kang Han-cheol had been steadfastly enduring the attacks like a mountain, but gradually the accumulated impact was beginning to show on the outside.

– Ah, Player Kang Han-cheol! Blood is flowing from between the thick leather! Isn’t it getting dangerous!

Se-woon’s attack wasn’t just made up of physical attacks.

Magic was forbidden, but Se-woon was creating cold and heat by mixing Ice Skill and Yang Skill with just martial arts.

The leather froze, melted, and sharp blades rushed through the softened gaps.

As that was repeated, the alligator skin could no longer withstand it and was gradually tearing apart.

‘Not yet.’

Yet, Kang Han-cheol did not counterattack. Rather, he calmed his mind even further and waited for an opportunity.

Having fought countless battles in Zhe-Heton, he had a rough idea of Se-woon’s limits.

He also knew that he would soon run out of power in that state.

– The Eye of Envy envies ‘Kang Han-cheol’s’ power.

– Steals overwhelming strength.

…….

The authority of envy began to exert its power.

Kang Han-cheol also noticed that his power was being taken away, but he did not waver.

There was not much time left.

In fact, the internal energy contained in Se-woon’s sword was gradually decreasing.

“Reside.”

– I understand, my master.

Ruin’s form melted and resided in Durendal.

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

– The power of martial arts is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Breaking Extremes Divine Art [a technique that amplifies martial arts power].

Se-woon flapped his wings and swooped down, swinging his sword.

An attack squeezing out all the remaining internal energy.

Kang Han-cheol also realized that this was the final attack and braced himself even more firmly.

Seogeok-

The thick leather could not withstand the blade and was cut away.

It was impossible to block with one arm.

He raised both arms, making the most of the mysteries of Tai Chi [a Chinese martial art and philosophy] to deflect the attack as much as possible.

The blade was shining blue right next to him, sending chills down his spine, but he forced himself to endure the fear and blocked the attack.

The leather was completely cut away, and the thick muscles hidden inside swelled tautly and were cut more than halfway through.

The muscles desperately grabbed the blade to protect their master.

“I… won.”

Blood gushed from his mouth, but Kang Han-cheol was sure he had won.

He squeezed out all the remaining power, straightened his shoulders, and twisted his waist.

– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Crush’.

The final blow that broke the walls of the labyrinth that seemed impossible to break.

The power of the earthquake was condensed to its limit in his outstretched right fist.

The surrounding air rippled with just the slightest force that leaked out, creating a chilling current.

“Sorry, but you’re not the only one who’s grown since Zhe-Heton.”

Just before Kang Han-cheol threw his fist, Se-woon’s eyes flashed.

Like Kang Han-cheol, Se-woon had gained new power since entering the labyrinth.

The authority of Belphegor, the Demon God of Sloth.

– Falls into the Grasp of Sloth.

– Temporarily restores all power within the body.

– Temporarily amplifies all power within the body.

The consumed stamina and internal energy filled to the brim. No, it overflowed.

Kang Han-cheol realized this and desperately threw his fist, but it was already too late.

– The sword that splits rocks, Durendal, unleashes the aura of the king sleeping in ‘Dam-ro’.

– The proof of the king is reproduced through ‘Dam-ro’.

Dam-ro’s energy burst out, and the first form of the Breaking Darkness Sword, Heaven Breaker, which had been fading, regained its power.

In the end, Kang Han-cheol changed the path of his fist to block Se-woon’s sword.

Since it was the last blow, using it for defense was the worst option, but if he hadn’t done this, his neck would have been cut off right now.

Gagagagagak!

In the end, his fist blocked even the last of Dam-ro’s power.

“I… won’t lose!”

The alligator form had mostly been shed, with only the leather remaining on his left arm.

Blood was flowing from his entire body, and even his right arm, which had blocked Dam-ro’s attack, was not normal.

Yet, Kang Han-cheol did not give up.

He clenched his teeth and forcibly planted his trembling legs into the ground, swinging his left arm.

And Se-woon, too, prepared for the true final attack.

– The second form of the Breaking Darkness Sword, Falling Heaven, is enhanced through internal energy.

– The power of martial arts is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Breaking Extremes Divine Art.

He uses the technique once used in Zhe-Heton that had made him collapse for five days straight once again.

This was thought to be a true consideration for Kang Han-cheol.

Rather than half-heartedly holding back, it was respect for him to squeeze out all his power like this.

“Heuaaaap!”

Kang Han-cheol swung his fist, stained red with blood.

His stamina must have been completely exhausted, so it was truly a fist swung with willpower alone.

Even if they collided head-on, he wouldn’t be pushed back, but his thought of doing his best remained unchanged.

“Turik.”

– Yeah, I know.

Flap!

Se-woon’s wings were fully spread.

They were mainly used for flight, but Turik’s true power was not this. She was the spirit of ‘fear’.

Just by spreading her wings, she had such a strong power that she could instill fear not only in Kang Han-cheol but also in everyone sitting in the audience.

Originally, Se-woon’s power of fear was the power to make beings weaker than himself tremble, but with her power added.

“Keuk!”

For a moment, it was possible to penetrate the willpower of an enemy who was equal to or stronger than him. Or an enemy who was blocking fear with strong willpower.

Kang Han-cheol, who had been swinging his fist, was momentarily stopped by fear.

Seogeok-

Se-woon’s sword penetrated that gap.

Along with it, a roar like the sky was collapsing was heard, and the entire arena was covered in silence.

At this moment, no one inside the Colosseum could open their mouths.

An extreme silence where even breathing was impossible.

Underneath that.

Thud.

– T, the winner! It’s Player Jeong Se-woon!

Kang Han-cheol fell.

* * *

The match was over.

Even after Kang Han-cheol fell, the silence continued for a long time, and then a long cheer followed by the first spectator to come to his senses.

– It was truly an amazing match! A wonderful match that will be remembered in the history of the Moraf Festival! Player Jeong Se-woon, with this, achieves his 100th victory!

“Waaaaaaah-!!”

Unlike other matches, this ‘Fighting Tournament’ restores all injuries when you are eliminated or win the final championship.

Thanks to that, Se-woon did not faint even though he used the power of sloth and the technique ‘Falling Heaven’, which was still difficult to handle.

Of course, this was not perfect, and he was so exhausted that it was difficult to move his fingers, but what is this?

“That’s… a new power gained in the labyrinth.”

“That’s right.”

“I didn’t think of that. I didn’t consider your growth.”

“I’m sorry to you, but I don’t intend to be easily caught up either.”

“I don’t intend to be easily caught up either.”

Kang Han-cheol held out his palm.

A clean acknowledgment of victory and defeat as much as he had put all his strength into it.

– The Constellation, ‘Old Man Riding an Alligator,’ smiles contentedly.
