Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 375
Episode 375
Hureukal.
That guy was a stronger monster than I thought.
Its scales were strong against both physical and magical attacks, and its eel-like wriggling movements made it difficult to predict.
It made excellent use of the pond’s geographical features and could even launch ranged attacks with corrosive poisons.
It was even a clever monster that could deflect light attribute magic like Turn Undead with its scales and evade fire magic by diving into the water, but…
– The Vault of Greed has been opened.
[Thunderstorm]
– A powerful, large-area magic of violet color that causes an intense storm of lightning, turning the surroundings to ashes.
Zzzzzzzzz!
“Kereuraurauraurak-!!”
When the entire pond was fried, even he had no way to resist.
In the first place, no matter how strong a monster on the 52nd floor might be, it was nearly impossible to resist 7th circle magic.
Moreover, Se-un could not only use magic of one attribute but could also use magic of all attributes through the Authority of Greed.
If he appropriately targeted its weaknesses, the battle could be ended easily.
Thud.
Hureukal’s body turned to ashes and disappeared, and something black fell to the floor.
However, Se-un did not pick it up but stood on the monument in the center of the pond, carefully examining the surroundings.
“Aren’t you going to pick that up?”
“Wriggling of the Dead. B+ grade accessory. It’s a useful item, but that’s not my goal.”
“Oh my, did you figure it out with just a glance? How amazing!”
Of course. Although it was a rather difficult opponent, it was one that I had somehow defeated even before my regression.
It was a memorable battle, so I remember what it dropped.
Se-un, who had been looking around from the monument, accurately recognized his current location.
At that moment, the Compass of Journey pointed to Se-un’s destination.
‘It’s so convenient.’
Without the Compass of Journey, would I have been able to find that destination I had reached before my regression?
Perhaps it would have been possible, but it would have taken an incredibly long time.
Even Se-un couldn’t remember this vast field entirely.
It wasn’t just about telling me about the hidden pieces around me, but also the power to point to the desired destination. This was one of the core abilities of the Compass of Journey.
There was a condition that required various hints and information about the place, but since it was a place I had been to before my regression, it could be activated simply by specifying the current location.
“This way.”
“Yes~”
There were various monsters and tombs along the way to the destination.
Among them were relics valuable enough for the Compass of Journey to point to, and tombs that had not been explored before the regression.
However, these were places that could have been conquered even before the regression if I had set my mind to it, so I had no intention of wasting time on them now.
“How far are we going? I’m not one to walk for long in trials~”
“You got a relic, didn’t you? You can go up alone if you’re bored.”
“Eii, I can’t do that~ I feel like if I endure just a little longer, you’ll show me something really fun, how can I do that?”
“I can’t guarantee it either. It’s just a simple curiosity.”
“If a regressor is curious, how great must it be? I’m getting more excited!”
– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ nods, saying they are definitely curious too.
– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is excited, wondering how much more delicious prey you are going to find.
I didn’t expect Mamon to be looking forward to it, even if Arcana or Beelzebub weren’t.
She hadn’t shown much interest even when I was looking for hidden pieces in the previous trials.
It seems that the value of the items obtained from the hidden pieces is gradually increasing as I reach the 52nd floor.
From the point of passing the 51st floor, items called ‘treasures’ begin to appear in earnest.
In fact, Se-un before the regression had also obtained various rare items here.
“It’s starting to look like the end~”
The trial of the 52nd floor.
Because its size was so large, it took quite a while to move.
It was fortunate that it was Se-un and Arcana, but if it were another player, they would have had to focus on moving for several days to reach the end of the trial.
No, if it were another player, it would have been nearly impossible to reach the end because of the monsters encountered along the way.
As if rejecting the approach of players, the strength of the monsters increased, and the number of relics and tombs decreased sharply.
For that reason, there were almost no players who wanted to come here, even knowing that this was the end.
“The smell of blood…….”
“The smell of fresh…… murderous intent.”
Of course, the end did not easily allow Se-un’s approach.
Undead Golems that seemed to be at least 6m tall.
To be precise, they were Golems made by stitching together the bodies of creatures called Flesh Golems like rags.
They were strong enough to usually exist as guardians of rare tombs, and there were as many as two of them.
In addition, an undead horde following the Golems crawled out of the ground around them.
“Oh my, how disgusting.”
As soon as they appeared, Arcana frowned, covered her mouth with a card, and took a step back.
Far from preparing to fight, she didn’t even want to get close to them.
“I will…… stitch you onto my body!”
“I, male.”
“I, as a female!”
Flash!
As always, the battle began with Turn Light.
As it was the most efficient magic for dealing with the undead, the minions that were running along with the two Golems were swept away at once.
However, it was impossible to deal with the two Golems with just this one spell.
Even though bright light was emitted, all that happened was that the flesh of the Golems turned red.
Immediately following, another bright light was emitted from Se-un’s hand as he extended his opposite hand.
Of course, this time it wasn’t Turn Undead.
– According to the mysteries of the White Tower, the attribute power of ‘Shining Blade’ is increased.
Shining Blade.
A giant sword of light broke through the dark clouds and struck the Golems.
It was a magic that would instantly kill any ordinary undead, but the two Golems simultaneously swung the huge tombstones they were holding, deflecting the sword of light.
Thanks to this, the path of the deflected sword of light fell in front of Se-un and was embedded diagonally.
“Thanks.”
Se-un grabbed the sword of light without panicking.
The giant sword of light gradually shrank to a size that fit perfectly in Se-un’s hand.
It wasn’t the original way to use it, but magic is all about application.
The result of condensing and condensing the magic power of the White Tower contained in the giant sword of light was.
– Through internal energy, the third form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Assault, is enhanced.
Slash!
The Golem’s body was cut off far too easily.
With a splattering sound, the Golem’s upper body fell to the ground.
Still, perhaps because it was made by stitching together the bodies of various creatures in the first place, its arms and legs moved perfectly even though its upper body was completely cut off.
“The cut part, if I stitch it with your flesh…….”
– Through internal energy, the fourth form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Roar, is enhanced.
Hundreds and hundreds of sword energies that burst out tear the Golem’s body, which had been cut in half, to shreds.
The sight of it wriggling and moving even with its body in that state is quite a sight.
Still, since it wasn’t one with strong regenerative power, I judged that I could finish it off later with white magic and turned my gaze to the remaining one.
“Both of them are mine! I’ll absorb that too! I’ll get stronger!”
He seemed to be happy that his comrade was wriggling like a rag.
Swinging the sword of light, he obliquely cut off the tombstone that was coming down, obscuring the faint moonlight, and continued his attack.
– Through internal energy, the seventh form of the Mount Tai Eighteen Style Sword, Mount Tai Collapse, is enhanced.
Was it thanks to using Shining Blade?
Unlike its meaning of collapsing a huge mountain, Mount Tai Collapse became a giant mass of light like the sun and crushed the Golem.
The seams of the Golem, which had been forcibly stitched together, burst open, and black, dead blood was scattered.
“Mine! Mine, mine! I’ll become more gigantic…….”
Boom!
In the end, the Golem’s body, unable to withstand the pressure, burst.
Unlike the first Golem, which was still wriggling with some energy left, the Golem that had burst stopped moving completely, having become a pulp.
Overwhelming combat power that didn’t even require finding weaknesses with the Compass of Journey.
This was Se-un’s current state.
Even though he couldn’t use the Stigmata [divine marks or wounds], there would be no problem fighting up to the 60th floor.
If he started to digest the dignity of the giant contained in the Stigmata, there would be no rival for Se-un even if he went higher.
Frankly, it didn’t seem like he would have any trouble with the difficulty of the trials even on the floors after this.
Rather, what was worrying were those who had grudges against Se-un, such as the Guild Master of Black Wings or the Constellations of Olympus.
‘I can’t just turn them into enemies recklessly.’
Although he killed an executive of the Blue Sea Guild on the previous floor, it was difficult to turn any more Constellations into enemies beyond this.
It wasn’t because he was scared.
Even if he grew and grew and killed them, it would be a clear loss if the Constellations died and became Outer Gods.
It was necessary to join hands with them as much as possible.
Of course, that didn’t mean he was going to bow his head and go under them.
“Wow~ What a spectacular battle! It was so flashy that it was hard to watch properly, you know?”
– ‘Ragged Dang’ has been devoured.
– Absorbing nutrients increases Strength by 3.
– ‘Ragged Bang’ has been devoured.
– Absorbing nutrients increases Strength by 2.
As soon as I used the Authority of Gluttony, I saw Beelzebub’s message cheering.
Even though I caught two Flesh Golems, the stats that increased were only 5.
However, since Se-un had already reached a total of a thousand in all stats, even this slight increase in stats felt valuable.
Others could only raise stats by finding and drinking elixirs, but I could easily raise them with Beelzebub’s Authority.
“Oh my, isn’t that a relic too?”
After the Fangs of Gluttony chewed up all the corpses, a tombstone that the Flesh Golem was holding fell in front of me.
Seeing that the size had been reduced to just the right size and even a handle was sticking out, it seemed that it could be used as a blunt weapon.
Perhaps that was the relic given as a reward for defeating the Flesh Golem.
‘It looks pretty good.’
S-grade blunt weapon.
It looks quite solid, and it seems that the Authority of Greed can withstand it sufficiently.
– Would you like to select the ‘Tombstone of Myriad Spirits’ as a relic from the trial of the 52nd floor, ‘Tomb of the Dead’?
– You can only select one relic from the trial of the 52nd floor.
It looked good enough, so Se-un nodded and put the tombstone into the Ark of All Ills [a container for storing items].
If a better relic appeared, he could just throw away the tombstone and choose a new one, and what Se-un was aiming for after this was a hidden tomb, not a relic.
“So, what’s the reason for coming all the way here? It can’t be just to catch those two pieces of trash. Ah, I’d be very disappointed if that were the case?”
“Down there.”
“Down there?”
Se-un stood at the end of the 52nd floor.
What was visible in front was a cliff that seemed to be carved out.
It was so high that the bottom could not be seen, and an unknown fog of death overflowed below the cliff.
All players naturally sense this as they look down.
‘If you go down there, you’ll die.’
The same was true for Se-un now.
Perhaps because the Stigmata was not exerting its power, an unknown eeriness was felt, and a sense of rejection towards the bottom instinctively rose.
However, Se-un was certain. That ‘something’ existed down there.
Because the Compass of Journey, which he trusted more than his instincts or intuition, was pointing to the fog of death below.
