I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 353

Episode 353

It wasn’t that there were no Outer Gods present.

They might have been dormant, like the Outer God within the meteorite embedded under the ice lake, or perhaps sealed within a glass case.

Unintentionally, Seun’s stigmata [a mark of divine favor or curse] had awakened one of them.

“Oh my, how disgusting.”

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ frowns upon the grotesque entity defiling this wondrous treasure trove.

– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Enclosing Jealousy,’ expresses concern for you.

– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ gags and covers his nose.

I hadn’t anticipated their reaction to the stigmata, causing them to emerge, but I was thoroughly prepared for a battle with an Outer God, complete with countermeasures.

Specifically, I had planned my initial attack from the moment I saw the meteorite encased in glass.

“Are you finally going to show us some proper magic?”

Growing Hatchling.

Seun retrieved the staff he’d received from the Coral Tower Lord during the final trial of the Merop Festival.

Arcana observed with curious eyes from behind, but this wasn’t the time to conserve power.

“Ruin.”

– Grrr…….

A crimson wolf materialized in response to Seun’s summons.

Ruin salivated as he gazed at the Outer God wriggling free from the meteorite within the glass case.

Despite his eagerness, he remained obedient, awaiting Seun’s command like a well-trained hunting dog.

“Oh my, how cute~”

“Reside.”

– I understand, my master.

While preparing to hunt the Outer God, following Arcana’s suggestion, Seun contemplated the most effective method of attack against the entity hidden within the meteorite.

His primary concern revolved around ‘magic’.

‘Magic lacks the power of destruction.’

This was Seun’s rationale for primarily employing martial arts when confronting Outer Gods.

Whether scorched by fire, frozen by ice, or jolted by electricity, the Outer Gods remained largely unscathed.

The only effective means of attacking them involved utilizing the power of destruction or weaponry crafted from meteorite.

In the interim, an idea struck him.

‘What if I allowed Ruin to reside within the staff and channeled magic through it as a medium?’

After formulating this hypothesis, he conducted various experiments using different types of magic.

– The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.

[ Fire Storm ]

– A top-tier magic spell from the Red Tower, capable of sweeping through enemy lines by conjuring a storm of fire.

The result was this.

Whoosh!

The crimson Dragon Heart at the staff’s end shimmered intensely, unleashing a firestorm.

The glass case, specially treated to be harder than ordinary ore, shattered easily as the firestorm engulfed the meteorite and the Outer God within.

“Gurgle-”

Ordinary heat, regardless of its intensity, couldn’t directly harm an Outer God.

At best, it could only startle them and impede their movements.

But now, things were different.

The firestorm, imbued with the power of destruction, devoured the Outer God.

Black, smoke-like fumes billowed from the firestorm as the Outer God’s body began to burn.

Seun’s attempt to infuse magic with the power of destruction had succeeded.

‘I can’t end it with just this.’

Even with the power of destruction imbued in the firestorm, the Outer God’s resilience was extraordinary.

Even as they suffered and burned before my eyes, they would surely curl up to minimize the damage.

That’s why Seun employed the unique ability of ‘Growing Hatchling’: Dragon Breath.

The breath of a dragon that consumes all the mana stored in the mana core of the staff.

The mana had been sufficiently replenished during the preparation period, ensuring its potency.

Crack!

The dragon’s head, formed around the Dragon Heart, opened its maw.

Crimson energy surged within, poised to erupt at any moment, and was unleashed upon the meteorite.

Kwararararak-!!

“Oh my…….”

The dragon’s breath was unleashed.

I had worried that the impact would be lessened after the 7th circle magic [a high-level magic spell] had just swept through, but that wasn’t the case at all.

A power that easily surpassed the power of 7th circle magic.

Even if it wasn’t the breath of a Holy Dragon, it was replicating the breath of a Hatchling, as the staff’s name suggested.

Even Arcana, who rarely showed emotion, widened her eyes in surprise.

Seun was also taken aback.

‘If I gather a little more mana…….’

Even though I have been constantly storing mana since I got the staff, the time I have gathered is less than a month.

But even so, it’s this powerful.

If I gather mana for more than a month, two months, three months, or more and use Breath?

A breath with the power to easily destroy a city might unfold.

That level was worth saving as a final blow surpassing Mammon’s treasure.

“Gurgle! Gurgle-!!”

The Outer God’s reaction was intense.

They had tried to endure the firestorm by curling up, but now they abandoned that strategy and completely retreated inside the meteorite.

Seeing this, I slightly adjusted the aim, and the Dragon Breath bored into the hole in the meteorite, superheating it.

The meteorite glowed red-hot, like the sun.

I could sense the Outer Gods’ immense suffering within.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ is pleased to see the burning trash.

– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Enclosing Jealousy,’ widens its eyes at your surprisingly grown power.

– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ runs to the bathroom, saying that the burning smell is even more disgusting.

At this rate, I could annihilate the Outer Gods without even engaging in direct combat.

I was slightly concerned that I wouldn’t be able to properly demonstrate the Outer Gods’ power to Arcana, but I had no intention of letting them run rampant while taking unnecessary risks.

‘One more time.’

The Dragon Breath was a separate attack from Seun’s magic.

It was simply utilizing the ability built into the staff, allowing me to prepare new magic while the Breath was being unleashed.

Just as I decided to focus on attacking the inside of the meteorite this time to finish them off, an anomaly began to occur within the meteorite.

“Gurgle-”

I couldn’t see the internal situation because the breath was still being fired, but I could sense them wriggling in the intense heat.

Just as I was about to cast a spell before the Outer Gods could react, I heard a sound like a water balloon bursting from the meteorite.

Popping!

The Outer Gods spewed out through all the holes in the meteorite.

Before I could react, they scattered in all directions, escaping the range of the breath.

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Strike, is enhanced.

Some of the Outer Gods flew towards Seun as well.

He swiftly grabbed the staff with his left hand, drew Durandal [Seun’s sword] with his right, and swung it forward.

Squeak.

Thanks to Ruin’s power of destruction, who cleverly recognized that Seun was changing weapons and immediately transferred to Durandal, the Outer God was cleaved and annihilated.

However, there was one unexpected ambush.

The Outer Gods flew towards Arcana, who was watching from behind Seun with wide eyes.

There was also a much larger amount than what had just flown to Seun.

‘It’s intentional.’

The Outer Gods typically initiate their activities by devouring and manipulating something.

However, the only living beings here were Seun and Arcana. It was clear that the Outer Gods, deeming Seun a dangerous factor, targeted her.

It was an urgent situation to use magic or send Ruin.

In that urgent situation, she just smiled and waved the card in her hand.

“Don’t worry about me~ I told you I wouldn’t be a hindrance, right?”

Heart cards fluttered in front of her.

As a surge of immense magical power was felt, the heart cards coalesced into a shield, blocking their path.

With a splattering sound, the Outer Gods were blocked, and she produced a new card.

Swish-

‘Spade.’

Ten spade cards scattered in the air, transforming into sharp swords.

The swords swiftly cut the Outer Gods, who were desperately wriggling and blocked by the barrier, into dozens or hundreds of pieces.

“Oh my, it’s very tough? The wolf was burning them to death just fine. There doesn’t seem to be a core, so is it physical resistance?”

Next is Clover.

Flames erupted from the clover card, which was reddened with Arcana’s mana.

The Outer Gods, who had been clinging to the shield to devour her even after being split into hundreds of pieces, cowered at the firepower.

The battle, which is proficient in defense as well as physical and attribute attacks, was proving her qualities as a high-ranker.

However.

“Is that not it either? That’s strange~”

Even a high-ranker’s attack couldn’t defeat the Outer Gods. It only made them flinch for a moment.

The Outer Gods, which had been split into hundreds of pieces, combined their bodies and devoured the shield.

Right after that, the moment she draws a new card.

– Through internal energy, the second form of the Five Dragons Leap, Black Dragon Flight, is enhanced.

Poobubuk!

The dagger thrown by Seun pierced the Outer God.

If it were an ordinary dagger, it would be impossible to stop the Outer God, let alone halt its movement, but of course, the dagger was imbued with the power of destruction.

He finished it by wielding Durandal at the Outer God, who was writhing in pain with a burning sound.

“I didn’t know there was something like this in the meteorite, what is it? I thought I knew most of the monsters in the tower.”

“……I’m calling it Outer God.”

“Outer God, that suits it well. I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem like a creature from the tower~”

Arcana avoided the worst-case scenario of being devoured by the Outer Gods, but she couldn’t stop all the Outer Gods that had spread in all directions.

Still, this is the 5th floor of the casino, where there is only one exit.

Without her card, it is impossible to enter or exit.

Moreover, there are no other living beings here except for Seun and her, so there is no host to devour.

I was a little embarrassed, but I thought I could clean up the Outer Gods without much difficulty this time…….

“Kkeureuk, Kkuuk, Geueu, Geueooo-”

A sound that shouldn’t be heard here echoed.

A grating howl, like fingernails scratching a chalkboard, typically made by a creature devoured by the Outer Gods.

When I turned my head towards the source of the sound, I saw the monsters devoured by the Outer Gods displaying hostility towards Seun.

‘Damn it…….’

It wasn’t a living thing.

Taxidermied products made using the corpses of rare monsters among the treasures displayed on the 5th floor. The Outer Gods went into those taxidermied products.

I thought I had reduced the amount of Outer Gods quite a bit through the preemptive strike, but the number of taxidermied products that were devoured just in sight was more than ten.

It seems that this time, it won’t be easy to end.

“It will be difficult to protect you from now on.”

“Oh my, are you worried about me? I’m so touched~”

The full-scale battle between Lilac and the Outer Gods began.
