Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 351

Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 355

‘Just what is her true nature?’

That was Seun’s thought after watching her fight.

To exhibit that level of combat power even after descending to the sixth shelter and incurring a penalty.

Moreover, she seemed to have been settled here for quite some time, yet her combat showed no signs of stagnation.

What was truly astonishing was her efficient use of power.

‘She covers both close and long-range attacks… and above all, her flexible thinking.’

He didn’t know how she did it, but she had absorbed Ruin’s power and made it her own.

No, ‘sharing’ would be a more accurate term than ‘absorbing.’

As proof, Ruin was extremely exhausted despite not engaging in fierce combat himself.

His body color had faded, and he was breathing heavily, showing just how much power she had been using from him.

– Grrr….

He was at least swallowing the surrounding Outers to recover his strength.

Considering that the Outers had been rampaging after being consumed by dozens of taxidermied specimens, the warehouse was relatively clean.

Not a single damaged painting or broken statue.

Indeed, it was the right decision to shoot a magic spell containing the power of destruction at the meteor from the start.

“Ruin, are you very tired? Good job~”

She tried to stroke Ruin, but he quietly moved one of his feet away. Nevertheless, he couldn’t resist in the end and allowed her to touch his head.

Seeing him cautiously watching, she raised the stigma [a mark or brand indicating status or power] and absorbed him inside.

Arcana fiddled with her hands as if she was disappointed, but she ignored it for Ruin’s sake.

“I never imagined there would be something like that inside the meteor.”

“Has your interest waned a bit now?”

“It has waned, but an even greater interest has arisen beyond that~”

“By the way, the cleanup….”

“Don’t worry. They weren’t things I was using anyway, and the taxidermied specimens can be used as materials~”

Even though the visible losses amounted to hundreds of millions of points, she didn’t show it at all.

However, there was one problem.

‘The meteor…’

Now that all the Outers had been dealt with, it was time to retrieve the meteor.

The meteor was in the best condition out of all the shelters so far.

Although the surface was entirely scorched by the flames, that could be easily cleaned off.

A meteor in such good condition would greatly help Baekhyun’s research and Go Chang-seok’s forging.

However, the problem was that the owner of the meteor was right next to him, smiling with her eyes as she looked at Seun.

Arcana was the first to speak.

“You want that, don’t you?”

“Are you going to sell it?”

“If I sell it, can you buy it? I think it’s worth at least a billion, don’t you think~”

“……”

He recalled the coins he had earned at the casino this time.

Including the victory in the final underground arena, he had earned a tremendous amount of points, but even investing all of that would barely be enough to purchase the meteor.

Moreover, Seun needed contribution points to use at the auction house soon.

He didn’t know exactly how much, but he would need at least several hundred million points as a base, so it was difficult to spend his entire fortune here.

As Seun’s worries deepened, she stretched the corners of her mouth so long that they almost poked out of the card.

“I’ll give it to you~”

“……What?”

“You want it, right? I’m just giving it to you~”

To just hand over a meteor worth at least a billion.

If you only heard this, it would be a welcome thing, but she wasn’t so thoughtless as to give away the meteor without a price.

She must want something.

“What do you want?”

“You’re so easy to talk to~ Oh, before that, there’s one thing I need to confirm.”

“Confirm?”

“I’ve been thinking about it~ What is Mr. Wolf’s true identity.”

She brought her face close to Seun’s.

What is his true identity? That was the question Seun should be asking.

As he was thinking that, Arcana lowered the card covering her mouth and whispered into Seun’s ear.

“Mr. Wolf, you’re a regressor, aren’t you?”

“……What?”

Seun couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Suddenly, a regressor [someone who has returned to an earlier point in time].

He recalled everything he had said and done in front of her so far, but there was no hint.

Was she probing him? No, even if she was probing, the word ‘regressor’ wouldn’t come out unless there was some suspicion.

“I guess I’m right~ How cute. You know what? That’s the first time I’ve read a look of embarrassment on your face.”

“…….”

“You’re not going to deny it now, are you? I’d be a little disappointed then~”

He thought he was maintaining a poker face, but that wasn’t the case.

Well, this time, even Seun had a hard time hiding his expression.

Her guess was as unexpected as it was accurate.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ shakes its head, saying you are a human it can’t grasp at all.

– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Envy,’ nods silently.

– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ bursts out laughing, saying a regressor is impossible.

It was impossible to deny it, as she said.

Although the circumstances were different, the unidentified man who had discerned Seun’s identity in Jeheton came to mind.

At best, including her, there were only about ten people who knew about Seun’s regression, but it was a bit unsettling.

“How did you know?”

“What should I say, a woman’s intuition?”

“…….”

“Just kidding, just kidding. Loosen up your expression~”

After chuckling for a moment, she began to explain.

“A while ago, while I was nagging our incompetent goddess… no, while I was playing with her, I heard an interesting story.”

“An interesting story?”

“About a year or two ago? I don’t know the exact time, but from some point, one star disappeared.”

When she said ‘star,’ she must have meant a constellation [a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern].

Her constellation, Tyche, belonged to Olympus.

If that Tyche mentioned a god, he must also be a constellation belonging to Olympus.

As soon as he heard that, the words ‘regressors’ that the unidentified man he had encountered in Jeheton had said came to Seun’s mind.

“……Chronos?”

“So you know about it~”

Another player who regressed with Seun.

He didn’t know who it was, but considering how he regressed, there was one most likely possibility.

That was, Chronos’s hourglass.

The hourglass Seun used was a replica of Mammon’s, but there was a high possibility that a player who used a real hourglass, not a replica, and regressed existed.

Unlike Seun, who regressed through Mammon’s treasure without much trouble for Mammon, it seemed that Chronos had some problems.

“The foolish gods don’t seem to attach much meaning to it, but I think differently. The god of time turns back the apostle’s time to avoid the world’s crisis! It’s a cliché setting that could be found in novels, isn’t it?”

“So, you thought I was that regressor?”

“Oh, no way~ You wouldn’t be at odds with Olympus then, would you?”

“Then?”

“I knew when Mr. Wolf’s constellation spoke to you earlier. It was the Demon God of Greed, right? I didn’t have a long conversation, but….”

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ flinches.

“I could roughly guess what kind of authority he had while talking to him. And those disgusting things.”

“Outers.”

“Yes, those things~ Those things and the power Mr. Wolf showed. And other things. And I sprinkled a little ‘intuition’ on it, and voila! I knew Mr. Wolf’s identity~”

There was no definite information.

Honestly, everything was close to hypotheses or guesses, and above all, there were few links that could connect it to Seun.

Yet, she was certain.

Frankly, at this point, he had to believe in ‘a woman’s intuition,’ didn’t he?

No, it wasn’t that there were no links at all.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ glances at you and reads your expression.

He didn’t know what he had said, but the offer Mammon had made to Arcana upon entering the fifth floor must have been a decisive hint for her.

However, he couldn’t blame Mammon here.

Having heard this far, he had no choice but to admit it honestly.

“……That’s right.”

“How fascinating~ So, am I talking to a regressor now? By any chance, did we talk before the regression too? If it was a man like Mr. Wolf, I would have definitely been interested.”

“Sorry, but back then, I couldn’t even get to the second floor of the casino, let alone the third floor.”

“That’s a shame~ If I had seen you, I would have definitely fallen in love at first sight like now!”

Love, my foot.

Even if he had encountered her before the regression, she definitely wouldn’t have paid attention to Seun.

Back then, Seun was completely different from now, just an adventurer who had just started to adapt to the tower.

“Then, is the tower collapsing after all?”

“That’s right.”

“Didn’t you see me then either? Well, if it were me, I would have rather had another glass of wine here than play with those disgusting things.”

“I might have fought, but before the regression, I wasn’t the type to confront those guys head-on.”

“That’s unexpected~ Oh, could you tell me about that time? I’m so curious!”

“Right now….”

“I haven’t told you the condition for giving you the meteor yet, have I?”
