Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 404

“You’re… Ah, right. You’re the so-called Lilac Monarch?”

The moment Seshe faced Arcana, she instinctively recognized her.

It was thanks to the reports she had been receiving since the start of the Guild War, warning her to be cautious of Arcana.

Because Arcana was such an enigmatic figure, Seshe hadn’t received detailed information, but anyone would have thought the same when faced with such a presence.

That this woman was strong.

“Oh my, do you know about me? I don’t usually introduce myself to insects, but you’re quite perceptive~”

“I-Insect? Did you just call me an insect? Me?”

“Well, what else should I call an insect other than an insect?”

Even so, Seshe didn’t back down.

The Lilac Monarch?

The Queen of the Casino?

These were just rumors floating around, and she hadn’t actually done anything to warrant them, had she?

People naturally like to create and exaggerate rumors, so her reputation was likely just a massively inflated bubble.

Of course, Seshe thought she would be strong to some extent, but she didn’t believe she would be outmatched.

Especially now that she had received ‘Descent’ [a power-up or blessing]. No matter who the opponent was, even the woman called the Queen of the Casino, she couldn’t imagine losing.

“People praise you a little, and you can’t handle it, can you?”

“I, well, I don’t like disgusting things. Could you stop talking and disappear quickly?”

“You little! Zerial, what are you doing! Kill that X right now!”

“Kuaaaa!”

The wyvern, which had regenerated its tongue, flicked it out and bared its ferocious fangs once more.

Perhaps because of the previous experience of having its tongue cut off, it didn’t immediately engage in close combat but instead filled its mouth with venom.

The Black Wyvern’s signature poison breath.

The acidic venom, which could melt not only living things but even rocks, was condensed, compressed, and ready to be fired.

Just before the venom was about to erupt from its wide-open mouth.

“Oh my, how filthy.”

*Thwack-*

*Thud.*

The wyvern’s head was severed, boasting a clean cut as it fell to the ground.

The venom that had gathered so laboriously lost its power and drooped, flowing out from between the wyvern’s teeth before it could even be spewed out.

For a wyvern, a dragon called the king of the sky, it was a far too anticlimactic end.

“I’m wearing red today, so I don’t want anything other than blood on me~”

It was Arcana’s great scythe in her right hand that had beheaded the wyvern.

The scythe, weaponized from a Joker card, dripped with the wyvern’s blood, its sharp blade gleaming.

“Haa……”

The wyvern’s body, now headless, collapsed, and Seshe, who had been riding on its back, jumped down.

Then, she let out a small sigh and gripped her whip even tighter.

“Right, what expectations could I have of these beasts? In the end, I have to step up again.”

Her whip didn’t look ordinary at all.

When she pulled it with force, it was tinged with black light and exuded a thick, intangible aura, heavily imbued with the energy of Descent, just like Deni’s sword.

“I’ll tell you why I have the epithet ‘Violation.’”

Seshe the Violation.

The reason she had this epithet wasn’t simply because she was a tamer who handled beasts.

Despite being a tamer, she stepped onto the front lines of the battlefield, wielding her whip and taunting her enemies, which earned her the epithet ‘Violation.’

*Swish!*

Her whip was swung, and a sharp striking sound was heard.

Even though the whip was known to be one of the most difficult weapons to handle, she wielded it as freely as if it were her own hand.

However, by the time the whip was about to touch Arcana’s body, a card had already materialized into the form of a shield.

“Yeah, keep hiding. If you can!”

*Crack!*

The whip mark left on Arcana’s shield deepened and split open like a mouth.

And from within, a monster resembling a lion leaped out and bared its fangs.

Of course, it was immediately beheaded by the scythe and collapsed, but the problem was that this wasn’t just one or two.

“Let’s see, how long can you last?”

Unceasing whipping.

Each time, a monster crawled out from the whip marks, aiming for Arcana’s neck.

All of these monsters were imbued with the power of Descent, making them incredibly difficult to deal with.

“Perfect timing~ I wanted to test this out.”

Arcana’s red dress fluttered as she slashed the neck of a monster that had come right up to her, mouth wide open, with her great scythe.

Then, a jet-black light flickered from her thigh, visible between the gaps in her dress.

Arcana’s stigma [a divine mark or symbol of power].

It wasn’t a stigma created by borrowing the power of Tyche [a goddess of fortune], but a unique stigma she had created by devouring the divinity of a being who had reached demigod status in a previous trial.

“A stigma?”

Seshe, who recognized it, briefly stopped whipping and distanced herself.

Although Arcana’s was a unique stigma, stigmas were generally known as marks bestowed only upon those who had become close to a god, to the point of being called apostles.

As such, stigmas contained powerful energy, so she naturally retreated.

“What are you all doing? Are you waiting for my whip?”

*Whack!*

“Krrng!”

Seshe didn’t know what kind of power Arcana’s stigma would unleash.

Therefore, she urged the monsters with her whip, sending them out to her.

The monsters ran forward, simultaneously uttering cries of pain and roars of threat.

The monster at the forefront.

*Thud-*

“Kya-rng?”

Rumble!

Absurdly, it tripped over a stone fragment on the ground, lost its balance, and tumbled to the ground.

The problem didn’t end there.

The monsters following behind couldn’t stop in time due to the sudden anomaly at the front, colliding or tangling their legs.

A situation too terrible to watch unfolded, and all of Seshe’s monsters collapsed without even touching Arcana.

“You stupid things! Get up quickly!”

The injuries were excessive for having simply fallen, rolled, and collided without being attacked.

Legs were broken, wounds were torn open, and in severe cases, the abdomens of some monsters were pierced by stone fragments, causing their intestines to spill out.

However, they were all receiving the power of Descent.

The monsters quickly healed their wounds and began to rise one by one.

At that moment.

*Rustle-*

Stone dust fell from above the monsters’ heads.

The monsters, wondering what was happening, raised their heads and saw the entire outer wall, which had been shaking precariously from the continuous impacts, collapsing.

*Crash-!*

The monsters met their end without ever touching the hem of Arcana’s dress.

A truly absurd situation.

Seshe, whom they had expected to scold the monsters, was surprisingly glaring at Arcana with cold eyes.

“What an unpleasant power?”

“Oh my, so you do have some sense?”

“So, what kind of power is it? Hypnosis? Telekinesis?”

“It’s not such a trivial power~”

“Well, whatever. I’ll find out if I clash with you directly.”

Even Seshe didn’t have an unlimited number of monsters.

She had used half of her monsters while breaking through the tower’s traps to reach this point, and the other half while facing Arcana.

She still had a few trump cards left, but those were just trump cards.

“Even a stigma isn’t as impressive as I thought~”

Seshe gripped her whip tightly and rushed forward, but things didn’t start well.

The debris from the wall that had just collapsed hindered her steps. She forcibly used her strength to maintain her balance, narrowly avoiding a clumsy fall from the start.

“A stigma is like a symbol, right? I was wondering what to do, but I just put in a little bit of leftover power, and it was immediately created~”

“I didn’t ask!”

Seshe, who had barely arrived in front of Arcana, swung her whip.

No, she tried to swing it.

*Flick!*

A statue that had been severely tilted due to frequent impacts completely fell over and became entangled in her whip.

“Ah, to be precise, should I say it’s discarded power rather than leftover power?”

“You’re really annoying!”

The statue was so heavy that she was in danger of being dragged along with the whip, so she had no choice but to release the whip.

Then, she slashed the air with her fingernails, creating a long gap in the air that split open with a tearing sound.

“Kra-ra-rack!”

What appeared from the gap was the massive head of a sea serpent, also known as a sea dragon.

As if it had been waiting, it had a mouthful of seawater.

“And that’s how my ‘Stigma of Misfortune’ was born~”

*Thwack-*

As Arcana lightly swung her great scythe, a long, thin line appeared on the sea serpent’s head.

The head split in half and fell to the ground with a thud, and a fountain of blood erupted from Seshe’s body, which had been within the attack range.

“No way……”

The battle ended far too anticlimactically.

Descent was of no help in front of Arcana.

In the first place, Arcana had only tested the power of her stigma, not even revealing half of her original skills, compared to Seshe, who had exhausted all her strength.

Indeed, the player who was called the Lilac Monarch and the Queen of the Casino.

Her power, which had lost many of its stat penalties as she ascended the floors, was beyond imagination.

If she recovered all her stats, she would undoubtedly have even greater power than in the past, with the addition of the stigma’s power.

“Are our Areum and Daun okay?”

“Yes, Unnie [term of endearment for older sister]!”

“Wow, Ana Unnie is so cool!”

“We really thought we were going to die without a doubt!”

“A hero appeared! It felt like that!”

“Oh my, thank you~”

The twin sisters, who had created an impromptu bunker and hid, fearing they would be a hindrance to the fight, popped out from that corner.

Their 모습 [Korean: appearance, figure], sticking to Arcana’s sides and acting cute, was like watching baby birds.

“But what happened?”

“Unnie, you haven’t been in contact for a while! We naturally thought you wouldn’t be able to come to the Guild War either.”

“Of course, I was worried about our Areum and Daun, so I rushed over~”

“Wow, cool!”

“Unnie, cool!”

“What have you been doing all this time?”

“Yeah, I was curious too!”

“I had some personal things to do~ But I’m glad I seemed to have arrived on time. Areum and Daun, you’ve worked hard too!”

“Yeah!”

“Ah, and I’ve also lifted the communication blockade on the way, so the guild chat will be working again~”

“It’s real! So they blocked it from there!”

“Can we use this too? I should try it later.”

“It looks like Seo-a Unnie is rushing over? But it hasn’t been long since the chat came on, so we should tell her she doesn’t have to come now, right?”

“Uh… isn’t that Seo-a Unnie over there at the end?”

“Wow, she’s really fast……”

It had only been a few minutes since Yoo Seo-a had written in the guild chat to wait a little.

The Guild War field was vast, so the distance must have been considerable, but she had broken through that distance in just a few minutes, revealing herself above the horizon.

A terrifying speed.

They had already reported it to the guild chat, but it didn’t seem like Yoo Seo-a, who was rushing over urgently, would be able to check the guild chat.

“Hehe, I guess there’s no helping it?”

“But looking at it, it seems like Unnie’s side has won the fight too, right?”

“We, we weren’t a hindrance, were we?”

“Please say we weren’t, 으으 [Korean onomatopoeia for crying]…….”

“Don’t worry, you both did amazingly well~”

“I, I like Unnie so much!”

“Me too!”

While accepting the twin sisters’ affections, Arcana turned her gaze towards the direction where the Black Cross’s headquarters would be.

The battle was already as good as won.

Now, all that remained was one thing.

For Se-un to finish the Guild War.
