Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 440

The Vault of the Demon God – Episode 440

Chapter 440

‘What is that?’

It wasn’t just a large arrow.

The wooden arrow, growing rapidly as if time flowed differently around it, was imbued with a green aura, much like the falling leaves.

Even the small shower of leaves was already overwhelming the defense magic; there was no way it could withstand an attack like that.

‘Even if this is the 65th floor, and the Eternal Garden, the difficulty seems off.’

How many players on this floor could withstand an attack of this magnitude?

He could confidently say that any player capable of blocking such an attack alone would have to be at least on the 80th floor, and even among them, only a top-tier ranker would be able to do it.

But complaining wouldn’t change anything now.

Seun nodded at Riel’s words and drew Durandal.

“Gnome! Undine! Create a wall!”

– Okay!

– Leave it to us!

The moment Seun cut off the mana supply, the rock wall crumbled rapidly, and a new wall formed behind it.

Thousands of leaves pierced the mud wall made of mixed earth and water.

Unlike the rock wall Seun had created, the mud wall focused on absorbing impact rather than defense, accepting the leaves as if sucking them in.

Then, the surface flowed like water, dropping the embedded leaves, and new mud repeatedly covered the surface.

An efficient defense method tailored to the opponent’s attack.

However, the power of the leaves was stronger than expected, with some piercing the mud wall deeply enough to be dangerous.

In response, Riel once again instructed the spirits.

“Sylph, Kasa!”

– Yes!

– Bad tree!

The wind spirit created a barrier of wind, and the fire spirit covered it with flames.

No matter how sharp the attack, its essence was still just leaves. It was bound to be vulnerable to fire.

Even so, they couldn’t burn all the attacks, but thanks to the two barriers, the thousands of leaf attacks were perfectly blocked.

Meanwhile.

“Ruin.”

– Grrr.

Seun raised his head and summoned Ruin. He climbed onto Ruin’s back, took a stance for drawing his sword, and commanded Ruin.

“Jump.”

– Understood. My master!

Boom!

As Ruin kicked off the ground and leaped, the powerful force created a deep indentation in the floor.

Ruin jumped at an angle to allow Seun to maintain his stance. Seun also focused his inner energy on his feet to further concentrate his strength in his lower body to maintain his posture.

Whoosh!

A powerful wind pressure, comparable to the gale he had ridden just before, crashed against his entire body.

‘It’s similar to before.’

Being in this position reminded him of the trial on the 30th floor.

In the trial to survive the meteor collision, Seun had jumped towards the meteor with the intention of hunting the Outer.

Looking back, it was a reckless challenge. It would have been impossible if the three Demon Gods hadn’t supported him.

However, it was different now.

Now, he was strong enough to stop a falling meteor without the help of the Demon Gods.

– Grrr!

Thud!

Reading Seun’s thoughts, Ruin twisted his body in mid-air just before colliding with the arrow.

Receiving that force, Seun leaped from his position and flew towards the arrow.

The inner energy concentrated in his feet traveled up his legs, passed through his dantian [energy center], and surged violently upwards, imbued with the power of the Breaking Peak Divine Art.

A jet-black aura settled on his arms and sword, and the stigmata [marks resembling crucifixion wounds] sparkled as if reacting to the inner energy, unleashing a frenzy of power.

– The third form of the Breaking Peak Dark Sword, Sky Hole, is enhanced through inner energy.

– The power of the martial art is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Breaking Peak Divine Art.

Koo-oong!

As Seun extended his sword, a black pillar soared towards the arrow.

The pillar instantly engulfed the entire arrow and, as if that wasn’t enough, soared towards the sky.

The black pillar carved a black hole in the clouds leisurely flowing in the sky before slowly disappearing.

The arrow swallowed by the vanished pillar disappeared without a trace.

“Strong, but that doesn’t mean you have the qualifications.”

The Guardian Tree notched another arrow.

This time, it notched not one but two arrows simultaneously and aimed them at Seun.

However, Seun didn’t avoid it either.

Using Butterfly Dance, he kicked off the air and leaped towards the Guardian Tree, drawing his sword the moment the Guardian Tree released the bowstring.

– The second form of the Breaking Peak Dark Sword, Falling Sky, is enhanced through inner energy.

Kwa-gwa-gwang!

With an impact as if the sky was falling, the two incoming arrows were crushed.

Seun used the speed of his descent to prepare for the final strike.

‘I can’t guarantee I can take it down in one hit with the Breaking Peak Dark Sword.’

He could feel it well enough from the collision with the arrows.

No matter how much the Guardian Tree was the Guardian Tree of the Eternal Garden, it possessed a power that was completely unsuitable for the 65th floor.

So, Seun released Durandal from his hand and took out one of the weapons he had bought at the auction house, the ‘Traitor’s Double-Edged Axe’.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Asterios’ Double-Edged Axe ]

– The berserk axe used in the labyrinth by the Minotaur, a monster with the head of a bull and the body of a human, born from the love affair between Minos, the King of Crete, and his wife, Pasiphae, with a white bull.

Even though Durandal was sturdy, an axe was still the best tool for splitting wood.

Seun raised the larger and thicker double-edged axe above his head and unleashed the fifth form of the Five Dragons Lively Steps, Red Dragon Flowing Fang.

“How dare you covet the Eternal Garden without the qualifications.”

Chwa-rrr-rr-rr!

The Guardian Tree stomped its foot, and at the same time, a huge wooden shield grew right in front of it.

The shield, made of dozens, hundreds of intertwined roots, looked sturdier than a steel wall.

However, it was not a good match for Seun’s weapon.

Swoosh!

From the start, axes were mainly used to split and cut wood.

Of course, the axe Seun was holding was made for combat, and the equipped artifact was also for combat, but such a wooden shield could not block Seun’s attack.

“No matter how strong……”

The Guardian Tree’s face came right in front of him as soon as he split the wooden shield.

Seeing it repeating that it didn’t have the qualifications, Seun thought it would be better to deal with it right here and now rather than acquiring new qualifications.

– The Traitor’s Double-Edged Axe unleashes the energy of the monster sleeping within ‘Asterios’ Double-Edged Axe’.

– The tyrant of the labyrinth is recreated through ‘Asterios’ Double-Edged Axe’.

Asterios’ Double-Edged Axe.

The Minotaur mentioned here was on a different level from the Minotaurs commonly appearing in the Tower.

The original form of the mythical monster.

A berserk tyrant who ruled the labyrinth of Crete.

It was said that he pierced the walls of the labyrinth with his fists, shook the entire labyrinth with his steps, and pierced all intruders who entered the labyrinth with his horns.

The power of the axe, imprinted with the power of such a Minotaur, was…….

Kwaaaaang-!!!

It was more powerful than he could have imagined.

Seun gave more strength to his grip to withstand the stronger-than-expected recoil felt in his palms.

He could see cracks forming in the Traitor’s Double-Edged Axe as it struggled to withstand the immense power.

But.

“Strength does not always represent qualification.”

Thud!

Seun’s body was thrown back by the sudden impact he felt.

The axe he was holding with both hands shattered, overwhelmed by the force of the artifact combined with the impact from the Guardian Tree’s attack.

‘It didn’t work?’

No, it didn’t not work at all. When he raised his head to check, the Guardian Tree was already on the verge of collapsing.

The left arm, presumably used to block the attack, was completely blown away, and nearly half of its side was also carved out.

The legs, which had been supporting its body, were also severed and ruptured, with one leg already gone.

Yet, the Guardian Tree’s eyes did not change.

Although not fast, green sprouts were emerging from the wounded areas, and its body was quickly regenerating.

‘To withstand this.’

How many times had he used the authority of Greed to withstand an attack while climbing the Tower?

For a monster on this floor to withstand this attack, not like Pan or Triton, who were exceptional beings sent down from above to deal with Seun.

Surprised, Seun quickly regained his stance to finish it off before the Guardian Tree could recover its body.

At that moment.

“I’ll finish it.”

Riel brushed past Seun.

It seemed that the arrow barrage from the trees had stopped and she had some leeway, probably because the Guardian Tree had lost its strength.

‘That makes it much easier.’

Although she said she would finish it, Seun had just personally felt how strong the Guardian Tree was.

Not that he was ignoring her strength, but it would be difficult to finish it off.

So, he took out Durandal again to prepare for the final move.

Along with the artifact of Greed, he was planning to use a secret skill he had recently learned to imbue magic into the sword.

“Everyone, it’s a finishing move.”

– Okay!

– Ready!

– It’s been a while.

– Bad tree!

Given her personality, she probably wouldn’t have named the skill ‘Finishing Move,’ but it seemed she was using that term so the spirits could easily understand it.

Seun was quite curious about what kind of skill she would call a finishing move, so he prepared his attack while observing her attack.

“Wind.”

Whoosh!

Wind settled on her steps.

It wasn’t just a skill that simply increased movement speed like he had seen before.

Wind was left behind wherever she stepped, and the earth shook every time she moved.

“Fire.”

Whoosh!

This time it was fire.

Flames erupted from the earth that had been shaking from the wind.

“Aqua.”

Chiii!

A stream of water was added to the blazing flames, and thick steam rose.

Her body, which had been releasing steam and running faster than the wind for a moment, instantly reached the Guardian Tree’s eyes.

“Earth.”

Dr-dr-dr!

The path she had walked was raised into a single structure by the last spirit magic she used.

A giant stone sword wrapped in wind, fire, and water.

“Elemental Sword.”

At the same time as her sword, made of a branch of Yggdrasil [a mythical tree], was swung, the stone sword containing the power of the four elements was swung towards the Guardian Tree in accordance with the movement of the sword.

Kwaaaaang-!!!

A tremendous shockwave engulfed Seun’s body.

It wasn’t just a physical attack from the stone sword, but an attack containing all the elemental power of the four elements.

The coniferous trees, which had been acting as the fence and guards of the garden, also tilted their bodies from the overwhelming impact, and leaves fluttered.

‘Could it be?’

The power was stronger than he had thought, and he began to think that she might have really finished it off by herself.

But…….

“This feeling. That appearance. Could you be…….”

The situation revealed after the shockwave subsided was completely different from what Seun had expected.

The stone sword she had created, the Elemental Sword, was stuck next to the Guardian Tree.

In fact, there were no injuries on the Guardian Tree’s body other than the ones Seun had inflicted.

It hadn’t dodged. It hadn’t missed.

It was a scene that couldn’t be explained unless it had intentionally avoided striking the Guardian Tree.

“Why?”

Riel also seemed unable to understand this situation, but the culprit was quickly revealed.

– Huh?
