Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 350

Chapter 354

The treasures collected by the former owner of the casino.

Even the taxidermied specimens were mostly rare monsters, truly deserving of the term ‘treasure.’

For example, right before my eyes was a basilisk, unfurling its crown-like crest and dripping black liquid.

Beyond its physical abilities, it was a monster known for its unique ability called the ‘Petrification Gaze,’ which could solidify enemies, and it also spewed poisonous breath.

Even Seun had only seen a living one once; it was such a rare monster.

Besides that, there was a bicorn, whose horn I had recently bought at an auction, and a sand gulper that swam deep underground, stirring up minerals.

Various taxidermied specimens were baring their teeth, corrupted by the Outer.

“How unfortunate,” Arcana said. “Although I inherited them, I was quite fond of these. I guess I have to destroy them all?”

“Probably.”

I thought back to the Lunatic Werewolf that Baekhyun bought at the auction. Even that single corpse, not even alive, was traded for several thousand points.

Moreover, the taxidermied specimens before me were top-quality, preserving their original appearance.

Most of them were even rarer than the Lunatic Werewolf.

Just putting the taxidermied specimens in front of me up for auction would have been worth hundreds of millions of points.

She seemed regretful, but it couldn’t be helped.

Still.

“We can at least salvage the materials.”

“Oh, it’s okay,” she replied. “I’ll consider this an investment. Well, it’s more thrilling than I expected anyway.”

“Ruin.”

– Grrr….

Ruin, sensing Seun’s thoughts, slipped out of the sword and took the form of a wolf.

Since there were many opponents, it was easier to deal with them by increasing our numbers. More than anything, we had the variable of Arcana.

Although I acknowledged her power, the moment she was consumed by the Outer, the game would be turned upside down.

“Protect Arcana.”

– I understand, my master.

“Oh my, how reliable,” Arcana said with a giggle.

Arcana stroked Ruin’s head as if he were a cute pet.

Like with Seo Yuseo, Ruin was basically wary of everyone’s touch except for Seun, but this time, for some reason, he flinched but remained still, feeling the touch.

Watching that, I became even more curious about her identity.

‘With Ruin here, I don’t have to worry about that side.’

The worry that she might ignore her duties if she disregarded her disappeared, though she would carry out orders thoroughly.

Now it was time to hunt the Outer in earnest.

It was a strategy that I couldn’t use in the past because the power of destruction would decrease if I left Ruin behind, but it’s different now.

– The constellation, ‘The Bowed Crow,’ bestows upon you ‘Essence of the Meteorite.’

Durandal was dyed a deep brown color along with Mamon’s message.

Although the method was slightly different from the power of destruction, this power was enough to deal with the Outer.

“Grrrr…”

The Outer, which had possessed the basilisk, flashed its petrifying gaze.

Petrification would occur immediately upon eye contact. Even without eye contact, continuous exposure to that gaze would gradually harden the body.

Seun immediately closed his eyes and ran towards it.

‘I can sense it well enough.’

Using Mana Scan, I could feel the basilisk’s unique, condensed mana.

I opened my ears, focused on the sound, and sensed the surrounding situation by feeling the airflow on my skin.

“Guluk-”

“Grrrr…”

Numerous monsters blocked Seun, as if not allowing him to approach the basilisk.

As they were all rare monsters, they were showing off their individual characteristics to the fullest, but the most threatening one right now was the basilisk.

Seun evaded their attacks by stepping on the Butterfly Dance Steps.

It was as if watching a dandelion seed swaying in the wind.

“Geuleuk, Kkulureuleuk-”

Of course, it was difficult to avoid those who completely blocked the way with their massive size.

– Through inner energy, the fifth stance of the Taishan Eighteen Swords, Taishan Press (泰山壓頂 [Mount Tai Press – a powerful downward strike]), is enhanced.

In such cases, I would inevitably break through by force.

With a ‘Quajik!’ sound, as if swinging an axe instead of a sword, the body of the guy blocking Seun was crushed.

As soon as I jumped over him, I felt a surge of magic power in front of me.

The basilisk’s other ability, Poison Breath, came to mind as soon as I felt the magic power.

A highly acidic poison that not only penetrates the respiratory system but also melts inanimate objects.

‘I knew it.’

Knowing the characteristics of the basilisk, I had anticipated how the Outer would react.

I immediately unfolded the wide shield that I had prepared in advance to block the poisonous breath. However, in this state, I could neither move forward nor backward.

However, this was also an expected situation.

– Through inner energy, the second stance of the Ice Dragon Spear Technique, Ice Dragon Ascension (氷龍昇天 [Soaring Ice Dragon]), is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Ice Jade Divine Art, cold energy is added to the martial art.

A spear-throwing technique that applied Ice Dragon Ascension.

Apherion, which had already been dyed a deep brown color by transferring the essence of the meteorite, flew forward, scattering frost.

Beyond the wide shield, splitting through the poisonous breath, it arrived at.

Thwack!

“Keureuk-”

Exactly in the center of the basilisk’s mouth.

As soon as the poisonous breath stopped, Seun, who had jumped high, rotated several times in the air and came down, bisecting the basilisk’s body perfectly with Durandal.

Only then did his eyes, which had been unable to keep up with Seun’s fast speed, see the Outers.

‘Weak.’

Much weaker compared to the Outers I’ve faced so far.

Even though it was possessing a rare, high-level monster like the basilisk, it couldn’t exert its proper power.

Thinking about it, it was only natural.

No matter how rare and powerful a monster is, those are corpses that have long since died.

From the start, they were hosts that didn’t suit the characteristics of the Outer, which possesses living things.

‘Not much quantity either.’

Burning the Outer with a preemptive strike at the beginning was by no means meaningless.

The Outer wriggled in the host’s body to resist in any way possible, but the amount was significantly less than Seun knew.

At least half. No, it’s clear that the amount has decreased even more than that.

The magic imbued with the power of destruction, the unique ability of the staff, and Dragon Breath were that powerful.

‘Then, there’s no need to hesitate.’

From then on, it was nothing less than Seun’s stage.

Even without Ruin, such weak Outers couldn’t keep up with Seun’s movements.

The weapon imbued with the essence of the meteorite was enough to annihilate them.

– Through inner energy, the fourth stance of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Roar (血狼咆哮 [Blood Wolf’s Howl]), is enhanced.

– Through inner energy, the second stance of the Violet Haze Sword Art, Flower Rain Fan Shape (花雨扇形 [Flower Rain Fan Formation]), is enhanced.

…….

Various martial arts swirled, and deep brown trajectories like meteorites were drawn everywhere.

Every time, the Outers fell without fail.

It was the complete opposite of the previous appearance of struggling against the Outer.

“Geururu, Kureureugeuk!”

Perhaps realizing that they couldn’t resist Seun in this state, they began to run away in all directions.

Some punched the wall, and others spewed breath at the floor.

However, contrary to their expectations, there wasn’t a single scratch on the walls of the 5th floor.

‘Why did they make it so sturdy?’

A warehouse with no entrance or exit; only the owner of the casino could come and go.

I became curious about the former ruler of the casino who reigned before Arcana.

Squeak-

The guys who failed to escape were being defeated one by one by Seun’s hands.

In the meantime, their movements became unified in an instant.

‘Those guys.’

The destination was the queen of the casino, Arcana, behind Seun.

Judging that it was impossible to resist Seun or escape from this place, they were trying to secure a new host in any way possible.

Although Ruin was protecting her, I wanted to block the variables as much as possible, so I hurriedly turned my head, but.

“Ah…….”

Seun soon realized that she didn’t need any protection.

* * *

“You said your name was Ruin? How cute,” Arcana cooed.

– Grrr….

While Seun was engaged in a full-scale battle, Arcana greeted Ruin and looked around.

Thanks to her jumping forward as if to deliberately attract attention, many Outers were focused on Seun, but not all of them.

Some Outers that had been hiding somewhere crawled out and surrounded her and Ruin.

“It’s a waste, but I feel good,” she said. “I was sad to see them taxidermied. As expected, it’s much more fun when they’re alive and moving, you know?”

She immediately took out a card.

The first card was the King of Diamonds.

The card, lightly thrown upwards, flew sharply and swelled in size above the head of one of the Outers, becoming a giant axe.

Quajik!

The Outer was cut in half.

It was a threatening destructive power, but the opponent was not good.

“Guluk, Ggueueuk-”

Black liquid wriggled between the split taxidermied specimens, regenerating the wound and reattaching the body.

Even after that, the cards she threw split the Outer’s body, but the situation of regenerating without any damage was repeated.

“I guess I can’t do it like Mr. Wolf,” she mused.

Unless it was an attack using the power of destruction or a meteorite, it was impossible to injure the Outer.

The moment one of the Outers that had been regenerated in that way rushed towards her.

Quajik!

“Oh my, how nice,” Arcana exclaimed.

Ruin stepped forward and bit off the Outer’s head.

Unlike the attacks she had been doing, the head that Ruin bit off did not regenerate easily.

Arcana, who was watching it, sparkled her eyes.

“Our Ruin seems smart. Shall we try this too?”

The colorful Joker card in her hand turned into a large scythe.

Ruin, who understood the meaning, nodded and rushed forward, biting the scythe in his mouth.

– Grrr….

He seemed a little awkward as he slammed it on the floor, but he soon seemed to get used to it.

He cut through the torso of one of the rushing Outers with the scythe and looked a little satisfied.

Arcana, who was clapping and cheering for Ruin, took out a new card.

A black and white Joker.

Grasping the card that had similarly turned into a scythe, she whispered softly.

“Link.”

– Grrr……?

At the same time, the scythe that Ruin was biting lost its color. On the contrary, the scythe that Arcana was holding was dyed a dark red.

Arcana, smiling as if satisfied with the color, gently stroked the blade of the scythe and swung it at once towards the rear.

Seogeogeok!

A dark red trajectory was drawn.

Three Outers who touched the trajectory screamed as they were cut in half before they could even react.

Even this time, they were unable to regenerate.

Her scythe was imbued with the ‘power of destruction.’

“I like this,” she purred.

From then on, it was a complete massacre.

The Outer, whose body was severed, did not give up and dragged its half body, but it was impossible to reach her. They fell, their bodies torn into dozens, hundreds of pieces.

Unlike being hardened by an attack due to a meteorite, the complete power of destruction was like burning the body and annihilating it.

Just in time, Seun’s battle ended, and all the Outers who were running away rushed towards her.

“It’s been a fun battle in a long time,” she said with a hint of playful boredom.

Chwareureureuk-

She threw away the scythe as if she was bored and spread out a deck of cards with both hands.

The 54 playing cards rotated rapidly even though she had let go of her hands.

When Arcana picked up one of them, the other cards lost their power and scattered to the floor as if by a lie.

“My luck isn’t very good today,” she commented.

The card she picked up was the King of Hearts.

The card was soon transformed into a figure of a person holding a knife.

The figure wearing the king’s clothes was screaming as if in pain, bringing the knife to the back of his head.

Arcana covered her mouth with a few cards as if she was amused.
