Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 400

The Vault of the Evil God – Episode 404

Pacheon.

It was the first stance of the Extreme Piercing Dark Sword, one of the most powerful martial arts Se-woon could currently use.

You could guess its power just by looking at the surroundings that were momentarily blacked out as soon as the martial art was used.

Before long, cracks appeared in the black world, shattering it like a glass pane.

Clang!

Along with it, the stained glass windows of the cathedral shattered.

Not only the windows, but also more than half of the outer walls, which had been damaged from the beginning, collapsed, sending debris flying in all directions.

“Keeeaaaaaa-!!”

The cathedral, which had been rushing toward Se-woon, lost its balance and screamed as it collapsed.

Naturally, Pelches, who was riding on it, also lost his balance and rolled on the floor.

“T-This is absurd! It can’t be!”

Pelches grabbed the fallen cathedral in a panic.

It would be nice if the battle ended like this, but unfortunately, the cathedral wriggled as if responding to Pelches’ touch and began to raise its body again.

‘One blow isn’t enough, huh.’

It was a blow he unleashed using the power of destruction by channeling Ruin.

He thought its self-defense wasn’t very high, seeing it deploy a barrier using black haze, but that wasn’t the case.

The cathedral created more tentacles from its half-destroyed outer walls and wriggled, rising from its spot.

“Keeeaaaaaa-!!”

“T-That’s right! I believed in you! There’s no way you’d fall like this!”

The cathedral roared as if in anger, and Pelches regained hope as he watched it.

However, Se-woon was not at all flustered even after seeing the cathedral rise again.

He was a little disappointed that he couldn’t knock it down with one blow, but thanks to the Guidepost of Journey finding the monster’s weakness through the previous attack.

“Good, stay right there.”

“How pathetic! Outer walls are just a restraint! There is no death in this power!”

In the end, he’s just hiding behind the cathedral while shouting like that.

Just in case, he took out the Deathless Bow and shot an arrow, but the black tentacles quickly wrapped around Pelches’ body to protect him.

Immediately after, dozens of bundles of tentacles poured out.

Se-woon took out a staff, Growing Hatchling, from the Myriad Medicines Pouch towards them.

– According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Fire Storm’ is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Violet Tower, the casting speed of ‘Fire Storm’ is increased.

– According to the mysteries of the Red Tower, the range of ‘Fire Storm’ is expanded.

Whoosh!

The storm of flames, which started from the end of the staff and grew in size, engulfed the tentacles.

Even though it looked like that, it was feeling the pain properly, as the monster screamed while retracting its tentacles.

“Haha, it’s useless! It’s just……?”

When the flames disappeared, the cathedral tried to launch a second attack, but Se-woon was nowhere to be seen.

From the start, this magic wasn’t just for defense.

He deliberately twisted the magic’s formula to create smog, making it difficult to avoid the monster’s gaze.

He didn’t know what senses the monster used to distinguish enemies, but it was nearly impossible to find an enemy in this hot heat, smog, and impact.

Flap!

“T-There! You have to catch him!”

“Keeeaaaaaa-!”

Se-woon spread his wings and flew through the smog.

As if not allowing this, the tentacles protruding from the cathedral’s body intertwined and formed a giant net.

It wasn’t a problem that could be solved by briefly folding his wings, so he had no choice but to completely eliminate his wings and push his body through the net.

As soon as he did, what he saw in front of him was the cathedral’s spire.

No, the part that was originally the spire was bending like a whip and being swung at Se-woon.

– Through internal energy, the fifth stance of the Five Dragons Gait, Red Dragon’s Gnashing Teeth, is enhanced.

Clang!

Se-woon swung his axe at the spire.

It was impossible to cut the giant spire in one go, but he succeeded in embedding about half of the axe blade.

Along with it, he climbed onto the momentarily stiffened spire and quickly ran forward.

“Y-You have to stop him! Somehow!”

Pelches’ panicked voice was heard from below.

This was also proof that the cathedral’s weakness pointed out by the Guidepost of Journey was certain.

The spire twisted grotesquely like an octopus’s leg, trying to drop Se-woon, who was climbing on its body and running.

Ding, ding-

“Keeeaaaaaa-!!”

The sound of the bell ringing from the top became louder, and the wind pressure pushed Se-woon even harder.

However, Se-woon didn’t care and took out a new weapon from the Myriad Medicines Pouch and threw it forward.

Thwack!

He grabbed the handle of Apelion, which was embedded first, and stepped up.

Stab!

He stepped on the second embedded dagger, Fang of the Mad Dragon, and barely avoided the cathedral’s tentacles.

Staaaab!

He plunged Durendal into the tentacles that were grotesquely twisted and spewing towards Se-woon, and stepped on its handle, bouncing high with the recoil.

Like Ruin’s ‘High Jump Game,’ what Se-woon saw in front of him, soaring high, was the bell that was shaking violently from side to side and emitting sound waves.

As he got closer, the sound waves created each time the bell rang vibrated Se-woon’s heart with a tingling sensation.

It felt like his eardrums would burst at any moment, and his hands and feet trembled in sync with the vibration.

‘This is the monster’s weakness.’

Se-woon forcibly contracted all the muscles in his body and corrected the trembling.

He grabbed the blunt weapon he had taken out, ‘Monument of Myriad Souls,’ and took a deep breath.

“N-No…….”

– Through internal energy, the tenth stance of the Striking Staff Technique, Reverse Intercepting Butt, is enhanced.

Baaaaaang-!!!

The bell, struck by Se-woon’s attack, made a completely different roar than before and tilted to the other side.

Thanks to exceeding the originally set operating range by a lot, the joint holding the bell in place made a cracking sound and was pulled out.

“No way…….”

The bell fell, and a black liquid like blood poured out from the joint.

Hundreds of tentacles that had been rushing to target Se-woon’s back instantly lost their strength and flowed downwards.

The power that had been raising the cathedral poured out like water, and the already half-destroyed cathedral couldn’t withstand it and collapsed.

That bell was the cathedral’s vital point.

It’s dark under the lamp [the obvious is often overlooked].

Even Se-woon hadn’t expected that the bell, which had been noisily showing its presence from the moment it appeared, would be the vital point.

“This can’t be…….”

Pelches was seen kneeling above the spot where the cathedral had collapsed, holding up the cathedral’s broken pieces.

A look of utter despair, as if he had already given up on everything.

However, Se-woon didn’t trust such a guy.

“Stop acting.”

Whoosh-

Se-woon immediately pulled the string of the Deathless Bow.

The arrow, scattering ice powder as it flew, pierced Pelches’ heart indifferently.

Then, Pelches’ despairing body slowly disappeared like a mirage.

“Ah, this is really strange. How did you figure it out?”

Instead, the monster’s voice was heard from behind Se-woon.

When he turned his head, the monster was leaning against the black crucifix that had fallen from the cathedral’s spire, looking at Se-woon.

“It was amazing that you found and destroyed one of my strongholds. I never thought you would destroy the cathedral. But…….”

Ding!

The arrow shot this time was blocked and fell by a barrier that suddenly appeared in front of the monster.

Judging by the fact that one of the rings the monster was wearing was faintly glowing, it seemed to be wearing a protection-related artifact.

“This is different from before. This is like precognition…… no, it seems like you understand me better than that, don’t you?”

Se-woon didn’t answer.

Instead, he silently nocked a new ice arrow and pulled the bowstring back a long way.

He seemed to have quicker wits than he thought, but it didn’t matter even if the monster found out about the regression anyway.

He had decided to end his bad relationship with the monster here from the moment he decided on the guild war.

“Well, fine. After all, your relationship with me ends here.”

And it seemed that Pelches thought the same way.

Se-woon, thinking that arrows wouldn’t work, took out Durendal through the Myriad Medicines Pouch.

The weapons he had used to attack the cathedral had all been recovered back into the Myriad Medicines Pouch.

“I acknowledge your strength. It’s truly unbelievable. It’s no wonder the Queen of Lilac is attached to you. But…….”

Slash-

Pelches’ body, cut in half by Se-woon’s attack, slowly blurred and split into two bodies.

This soon spread to four, then eight, surrounding Se-woon as if to encircle him.

“Aren’t you being too naive?”

“Me?”

“I admit you are strong. But, can your subordinates really withstand this power?”

Se-woon greatly rotated his sword and stepped on the stance of Blood Wolf’s Roar.

Dozens of sword energies spread in all directions, tearing apart all of Pelches’ clones.

Because it was not a simple trick but the ability of an artifact, it was difficult to grasp the monster’s exact attack method even with the Guidepost of Journey.

Still, it was only a matter of time.

After all, these tricks were not the monster’s power but one-time abilities from the artifact.

At least within ten attacks, all of the monster’s ‘insurance’ would run out.

“Killing the guild leader or destroying the guild stone. You came to find me alone, recalling the original purpose of the guild war, but you were wrong.”

The black haze that he thought had disappeared when the cathedral collapsed rose from the ground as if evaporating.

And that power began to be absorbed into Pelches.

The black haze was not only flowing out from underground.

“As long as my believers are alive. As long as my believers believe in me. As long as my believers pray!”

From far away, from somewhere he didn’t even know, the black haze came crawling.

Perhaps it was flowing out from the Black Cross’s guild members.

Pelches accepted the haze and deeply savored its power.

“I will not fall.”

The black haze surrounded Pelches’ body, dyeing his already black clothes even darker.

The more the haze gathered, the denser it became, evolving to a level where it could no longer be called haze.

“……So, your last resort is, you planned it assuming your believers would win?”

Even so, Se-woon didn’t attack the monster. Instead, he put down his sword and looked at Pelches, pulling up one corner of his mouth.

A clear sneer.

“What’s so funny?”

“Well…….”

Crack!

Just before Se-woon finished answering, cracks began to appear in the black something surrounding Pelches’ body.

“There’s no way my comrades would lose.”
