Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 330

“Where is this?”

Se-woon opened his mouth, looking straight into Lucifer’s eyes.

Se-woon had used honorifics to Mammon, Leviathan, and even Belphegor, who appeared extremely young.

However.

“How insolent.”

He had no intention of bowing down to a Demon God who openly displayed hostility.

Suppressing the fear and pressure with the power of the Saintly Imprint and Turiq, Se-woon confidently straightened his shoulders.

He asked where he was, but it wasn’t like he had no idea.

“Is this a Mindscape?”

“To call my unique territory a Mindscape is displeasing. Well, that’s probably all a human can comprehend.”

Mindscape.

It was the same concept as the space where he encountered the Ice Dragon when he used Dragon Heart to absorb mana before.

Of course, this space was created by a ‘God,’ not a human or a dragon.

As Lucifer said, the word Mindscape couldn’t fully explain this entire space, but one thing was clear.

‘Either way, you can’t harm me here.’

This place wasn’t a physical space.

Even if his head were cut off or his heart pierced here, Se-woon wouldn’t die.

Did Lucifer read Se-woon’s mind?

Lucifer opened his mouth as if to refute.

“But I might be able to destroy your mind.”

“The Tower won’t just stand by.”

“It seems to me that trampling you is worth enduring that.”

Mind Barrier.

It wasn’t the body, but the mind was connected.

No, in this case, it would be more accurate to say that the soul itself was connected to Lucifer.

Generally, attacking the soul was unheard of, but the opponent was a Constellation [a powerful, god-like being]. Moreover, a Constellation with an overwhelming status known as one of the Seven Demon Gods.

With just a little sacrifice, damaging a player’s soul was easy.

“If that were your intention, you wouldn’t have bothered talking to me.”

“You know well. Time is precious. Especially since I, in the midst of my busy schedule, came to find you myself. You should be grateful.”

“Don’t you think you’re wasting my time?”

“You seem overly confident just because you’re loved by a few foolish Demon Gods.”

Lucifer’s killing intent intensified. The killing intent soon turned into heat, constricting Se-woon as if to burn him.

If it weren’t for the Saintly Imprint and Turiq’s wings, the killing intent might have burned his soul, regardless of whether it was just a threat.

However, that was only for a moment.

Crack-.

A small crack appeared in the space that was as black as the universe.

Lucifer’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he sighed softly, withdrawing his killing intent.

“You’re quite loved, aren’t you? It’s the first time I’ve seen that crow take such an interest in a living human, not just objects or corpses.”

It seemed Mammon was doing something to break this space.

Since a crack had already appeared, it wouldn’t be long before the space shattered.

“I really don’t understand. I can understand the Snake X having a grudge against me, but even that sleepyhead is taking your side.”

“If you don’t get to the point, the space will break without you gaining anything.”

“That won’t do. Alright, to get straight to the point… how about coming under me?”

A direct question.

The twelve black wings spread wide, revealing an overwhelming presence.

It wasn’t a threat, but a display of his power.

“What can you achieve under those ambitionless fools? If you come under me, you can have everything.”

“Everything?”

“Exactly, everything. I’m different from those who only have one desire. I want everything. Military power, wealth, authority… and even this ‘Tower’ if I want it.”

Se-woon responded briefly.

The Tower.

If Se-woon’s memory was correct….

‘The Black Wing’s goal.’

That was the original reason why the God-Demon War broke out.

He didn’t know exactly what the Black Wing would do or how, but he knew that much.

This was also why Se-woon was trying to destroy the Black Wing first, even if it meant turning Lucifer into an enemy.

“The Tower… what exactly do you mean?”

“Oh, is that your goal? You’re becoming more and more intriguing. But you see.”

Lucifer came closer and leaned his face towards Se-woon.

Just looking into his red eyes made it feel like his soul was being sucked in, so he shone the Saintly Imprint even brighter and struggled to regain his senses.

Turiq’s wings also wrapped around Se-woon even more tightly.

Even though it was a virtual meeting through the Mind Barrier and not a direct confrontation, facing a Demon God was this dangerous.

“I’m not foolish enough to give information to someone who isn’t even in my grasp.”

Divinity rapidly drained from the Saintly Imprint to protect Se-woon.

Turiq’s wings also trembled. Purple feathers fell off, unable to withstand the pressure.

At that moment, an anomaly appeared to save Se-woon.

Crack-!

A crack appeared on the opposite side of the crack that Mammon had created, and a faint cyan light flowed out.

“Even the Snake X has joined in. She probably hasn’t even fully recovered her strength, but she’s quite something.”

It seemed that not only Mammon but also Leviathan had joined forces to destroy the space.

The larger the crack in the space became, the more Lucifer’s pressure seemed to dissipate.

It was like being trapped in the deep sea and gradually approaching the surface, being freed from the heavy water pressure.

Turiq’s wings, which had been trembling, were also gradually calming down.

“It seems difficult to get an immediate answer, and it’s also difficult to give you time to think.”

The cracks on both sides were getting bigger and bigger.

The entire space was shaking, and the sun behind Lucifer, which had been spewing out brilliant red light, was also churning lava as if it was uneasy.

“When you arrive at the seventh Shelter, a feather will come to you.”

In the collapsing space, Lucifer folded his wings and turned around.

In the growing cracks, Mammon’s wings and Leviathan’s scales began to appear.

“I’ll hear your answer then.”

Clang!

Eventually, the cracks completely shattered.

From outside the collapsing space, the personified forms of Mammon and Leviathan, whom he had seen before, were visible.

Both of them had fierce expressions befitting their positions as Demon Gods, and they were exuding killing intent towards Lucifer.

“To dare lay a hand on my treasure…!”

As Mammon flapped his wings, the falling feathers turned into purple chains and poured towards Lucifer.

An attack on a different level than when he attacked the board.

The chains, which advanced with the momentum to capture even a dragon, dominated the space.

“Lucifer-!!”

A snake’s head appeared, piercing through the crack next to Leviathan.

The cyan breath that followed ignored the heat of the sun, which had felt so hot, and cooled the space.

Even though attacks from two Demon Gods were coming from both sides, Lucifer was simply smiling.

“Unlike you guys, I’m a bit busy.”

Flap-.

The twelve wings behind Lucifer’s back spread out.

The heat of the sun intensified and soon caused an explosion.

The explosion covered the entire space along with Mammon’s chains and Leviathan’s breath.

Clang-!!

The space, which had been as empty as the universe, shattered like a glass pane.

* * *

“Se-woon, Mr. Se-woon!”

“How are you feeling?”

“You weren’t injured in the battle just now. There’s nothing wrong externally. If I had to guess, judging from the Saintly Imprint shining…”

Woong-.

“I suspect your mind is connected to a transcendent being.”

“A Constellation?”

“Yes.”

– The Constellation, ‘Bloody Lion,’ frowns and quietly nods.

As Se-woon began to regain consciousness, the voices of the Diablo Guild members were the first to be heard.

Yoo Seo-ah’s voice was tearful, as if she was flustered.

Lee Ha-neul was pouring all sorts of healing magic and potions while saying there was nothing wrong externally. Baek-hyun was calmly examining the situation and figuring out the circumstances.

Everyone was worried about Se-woon.

“Kuh…”

As soon as he completely escaped from the space created by Lucifer, he felt pain. His entire body felt as hot as if he had been burned.

If it was just skin pain, it could be resolved with Lee Ha-neul’s healing, but it wasn’t.

The pain was as if the soul itself was being heated.

It was clearly the aftereffect of facing Lucifer.

If it weren’t for the protection of the Saintly Imprint and Turiq, he would have writhed in pain for days, and if it had been severe, his mind might have collapsed.

“Mr. Se-woon! Are you coming to your senses?”

“Are you not feeling well anywhere? You seem to have symptoms of dehydration, so drink this first.”

Was it the price of struggling while facing Lucifer? Not only mana and internal energy but also the divinity within the Saintly Imprint were running low.

Cold sweat was flowing down his entire body, and his lips were parched.

He felt a little better after drinking the potion Lee Ha-neul handed him.

Spraying the remaining potion on his skin didn’t help with the recovery of his soul, but it made him feel a little more stable psychologically.

Watching Se-woon, Baek-hyun asked seriously.

“Was it Lucifer, the Constellation of the Black Wing Guild?”

As expected, a question from Baek-hyun, who had high insight.

When Se-woon nodded, his expression became even more serious.

After hesitating for a moment, Se-woon began to explain what had just happened.

It was still difficult to talk about the regression, but even without it, this incident could be explained sufficiently.

“I see.”

The atmosphere became quite serious.

In the meantime, the messages from the Constellations that had been cut off reappeared.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows His Head,’ throws gold coins at the wall, unable to calm down.

– The Constellation, ‘Snake Enclosing Jealousy,’ worries about you, saying he didn’t expect Lucifer to call you in while enduring penalties.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the help of the two Constellations, he might have suffered even more from Lucifer.

If it weren’t for Mammon’s quick intervention and Leviathan’s joining, he would have been forced to answer immediately.

If that answer hadn’t pleased Lucifer? His soul might have been burned on the spot.

Therefore, Se-woon expressed his gratitude to both of them sufficiently.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows His Head,’ despises the traitor, saying to let anything you heard from that bastard go in one ear and out the other.

– The Constellation, ‘Snake Enclosing Jealousy,’ nods, saying he believes in you.

There were incidents and accidents, but he managed to get through it somehow.

Lucifer’s promise to hear his answer at the seventh Shelter came to mind, but it wasn’t an urgent matter that he had to worry about right now.

Either way, the answer was already decided, and he only needed to think about how to respond to Lucifer’s retaliation.

First of all, there were many things to take care of in Lilac before that.

“Let’s go inside for now. The aftermath of the battle seems to require rest not only for the guild members but also for Mr. Se-woon.”

The Black Wing Guild had disappeared from the city of Lilac.

Even so, he couldn’t let his guard down. Lilac was a city where entertainment was developed, so there was no telling what kind of things he might encounter.

Wandering around in a state of insufficient strength was no different from suicide.

“Yes, let’s all take a rest for now.”

Se-woon nodded and entered the house.

He thought there would be cobwebs in the house left on the outskirts, but it was cleaner than he thought.

“Mr. Se-woon, can you tell me about the next schedule?”

Yoo Seo-ah approached and spoke quietly.

It was right to inform her, who was in charge of the guild’s practical command, about the future plans, even if he didn’t tell anyone else.

Se-woon, who was thinking about the plans in the city of Lilac for a moment, opened his mouth calmly.

“First, we need to stop by the auction house.”

The auction house that will be opened for the first time in the sixth Shelter, Acacia.

The time has finally come to use the points he had saved up.
