Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 449

Chapter 449

“Should we call it a draw then?”

“……Tch.”

“How unfortunate. If we had met a little earlier, I could have been properly evaluated.”

Seun, Yuseo-ah, and Kang Han-cheol reached out towards the Pillar of Qualification almost simultaneously.

Although the Pillar of Qualification was supposed to be a fairer judge than anyone else, the content it evaluated wasn’t about who was stronger.

Since all three were right in front of the Pillar of Qualification, they couldn’t even tell the difference in evaluation based on the distance they had advanced.

In the end, all three were recognized for their potential and reached the Pillar of Qualification at the same time, forcing a draw.

– You have excellently completed the trial of the 65th floor, ‘Towards the Pillar of Qualification’.

– Calculating contribution points…….

– Hidden Quest ‘Eternal Flower Garden’ completed.

– Hidden Quest ‘Shaken Pillar of Qualification’ completed.

…….

– Total accumulated contribution points: 1,000,000 points.

– Congratulations! You have cleared the 65th floor trial as the 1st ranker.

– Acquired 100,000 points as a reward.

Although the moment of arrival was the same, Seun finished the trial itself in first place.

This was thanks to overcoming the hidden element called ‘Eternal Flower Garden,’ which ordinary players couldn’t even dream of achieving.

“You said you were going to stop by the residence next, right?”

“Yeah. There are things to fix, and I need to re-examine the residence in preparation for the next Guild War.”

“That’s a relief. Honestly, I wanted to rest properly. I’m managing somehow, but the bug fluid smell won’t go away…….”

“How weak.”

“Han-cheol, you should wash up a bit. Do you know what you look like right now?”

“What’s the point of washing up? I’ll just get dirty again when I face the monsters.”

“That’s why I’m saying you should at least wash up at the rest stop.”

Come to think of it, they both look terrible.

Yuseo-ah, I don’t know how she manages it, but at least she looks relatively neat on the outside, but it seems she couldn’t take care of the smell or minor details.

Kang Han-cheol was covered in bug fluids, monster blood, and dust all over his body, hardened and stuck.

Seun could manage his cleanliness with Clean Shower magic, but the other two couldn’t.

“Kang Han-cheol, you look pretty bad.”

Seun reached out and cast Clean Shower on both of them.

Yuseo-ah was happy that the smell was gone, but Kang Han-cheol clicked his tongue, saying it was a useless act.

“This is just a temporary measure, so wash up properly at the residence.”

The residence was severely damaged during the fight with the Black Cross Guild, but thanks to the efforts of the twin sisters afterward, all the basic facilities were restored.

Of course, this included bathing facilities.

So…….

“Let’s go.”

“What about the sparring?”

“First, wash up properly. Then I’ll think about it.”

The three, including Seun, decided to take a short break.

* * *

As expected, the residence was empty.

Kang Han-cheol urged for sparring, but Seun used the excuse of regaining his condition to rest and thought about what had happened up to the 65th floor and his future plans.

‘I gained a lot from the Eternal Flower Garden.’

The support of the Spirit King, no less.

It was an unexpected and reliable ally.

Although it was uncertain how long it would take for the World Tree to grow, the power of the Spirit Kings he had directly faced was comparable to that of the Constellations [powerful, often god-like entities].

Moreover, they had the advantage of not being corrupted by the Outer Gods, unlike the players or Constellations.

‘But I don’t know if they can damage the Outer Gods.’

In the Flower Garden, Liel had cleaved an Outer God with a greatsword made from the power of the four spirits.

At the time, the situation was too urgent, so Seun immediately stepped in to finish off the Outer God, but looking back, it was a bit of a shame.

Outer Gods are enemies that you can’t encounter at any time. So that was an opportunity to confirm whether the power of the spirits could deal with the Outer Gods.

‘I didn’t know that the Outer Gods couldn’t corrupt the spirits back then, so it couldn’t be helped.’

The fact that Liel cleaved the Outer God with a greatsword made from the power of the spirits was proof that it could inflict more than ordinary damage to the Outer Gods…….

But he couldn’t find out more than that.

If the power of the spirits could not only resist corruption from the Outer Gods but also damage them, it would be perfect, but it was necessary to prepare for the possibility that it might not be the case.

– Master, what are you thinking about?

“It’s nothing. Ah, can you tell me more about what happened in the Spirit Realm?”

– Yes!

And there was a way to experiment right away.

Turiq was also a spirit, so the next time he encountered an Outer God, he could check if Turiq could harm it.

The problem was that Turiq had no way to damage the Outer God other than the power of fear, but that was something he could gradually figure out.

– As soon as I arrived in the Spirit Realm, I headed east with Forger. I was so surprised when the Elestra people came to find me!

Turiq chattered about what had happened in the Spirit Realm.

Among them were not only the events related to the Forger incident but also the power Turiq had gained as she grew.

It wasn’t for nothing that she had summoned the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Lies from the Round Table.

She was steadily expanding her territory in the center of the Spirit Realm, where even the four Spirit Kings couldn’t directly intervene.

The number of mental spirits following her was already over several hundred.

“That’s admirable.”

– Yes, it’s all thanks to Master!

Seun stroked Turiq’s head in response to her brighter answer. Her purple wings fluttered like those of a small bird.

‘Now that Turiq has returned, I can proceed with the next plan right away.’

– Constellation, ‘Snake Surrounding Opportunity,’ sighs at the events to come.

– Constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ clutches its throbbing head.

The plan to visit the Eternal Flower Garden with Liel and plant the World Tree was successful, so next is one thing.

‘Lilith.’

It was time to meet Lilith, one of the Seven Demon Gods, the Demon God of Lust.

Even though the reactions of the Demon Gods were unsettling, they didn’t seem hostile to Seun, so he should be able to reach a good agreement.

He didn’t know what kind of power she possessed, but from his experience so far, the authorities of the Demon Gods were all beyond common sense.

Whatever ability it was, it would be a great help in dealing with the Outer Gods.

“Turiq, shall we work together a bit?”

– Okay!

“Ruin, you too.”

– Grrr.

Before that, it was time to check the power of Turiq, who had grown even more after visiting the Spirit Realm.

At this moment.

“Kang Han-cheol.”

“Is it sparring?”

Kang Han-cheol became Seun’s excellent punching bag. No, a sparring partner.

* * *

Kang Han-cheol and Yuseo-ah, who no longer needed guidance.

As he continued to spar with them, Seun was able to realize Turiq’s improved power in detail.

Not only Turiq but also Ruin had increased overall stats due to the strengthened stigma [a mark or brand indicating disgrace or infamy].

“Turiq.”

– The stigma reacts to the legend of the Blood Wolf.

– The first ability of the stigma, ‘Fear,’ awakens.

“Kugh!”

The power of fear, enhanced thanks to Turiq’s return, was enough to momentarily paralyze even Kang Han-cheol, who was quite strong among the players.

Of course, Kang Han-cheol resisted the power of fear with brute force and quickly shook off the paralysis, but he couldn’t help but create a brief opening.

Most importantly, the special thing was.

“Amazing.”

– Thank you!

In addition to amplifying the power of fear possessed by the stigma as the Spirit of Fear or giving Seun wings, Turiq had gained a new ability.

Thanks to that, it seemed possible to experiment on ‘whether spirits can inflict meaningful damage on Outer Gods’ when they next encountered one.

As he continued to spar with the two.

“This body, appearing!”

“Tada!”

“Hyung-niiiiiim!”

“Master, you were here.”

The Diablo Guild members, who had finished the trials up to the 65th floor, began to appear at the residence.

They all looked terrible after continuing the difficult battles up to the 64th floor.

Interestingly, most of the guild members passed the 65th floor trial more easily than expected.

‘Originally, the 65th floor was the trial that took the longest time.’

Being recognized by the Pillar of Qualification and moving forward.

It was such a subjective trial goal, and it wasn’t like you could pass the trial at once just by proving your qualifications.

In fact, even after mobilizing all sorts of methods to move forward, there were many cases where they didn’t know what potential they were recognized for.

Therefore, players who reached the 65th floor suffered for a long time in front of the Pillar of Qualification.

On the other hand.

“Huh? There was nothing there? One person next to me was crawling while sweating profusely, so I secretly picked his pocket, and I went forward. Hehe, would you like to see what I stole? This is very…….”

– Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Pickpocket,’ bursts into laughter as he recalls the sight of the human whose pocket was picked, unable to follow the contractor due to the trial, screaming and struggling.

“It wasn’t particularly difficult for me either. There were many people who were having a hard time, so I helped a little, and I went forward.”

“Us too!”

“It felt like the Pillar of Qualification was coming to us, not us going to it?”

“It was a shame. There wasn’t a single sample. As a consolation, I analyzed the samples I got to save time, and I arrived quickly.”

Everyone had different methods, but they seemed to have been easily recognized by the Pillar of Qualification through their own personalities.

Moreover, thanks to hunting many monsters, they had only broken through five trials, but their overall combat power felt greatly enhanced.

Everyone’s stories were interesting, but the first person Seun went to see was the Diablo Guild’s blacksmith. It was Go Chang-seok, now known as Majang.

“Elder.”

“Hehe, it’s been a while. You seem to be getting stronger every time I see you.”

“Was the trial difficult?”

“I’m confident in my strength because I’m always hammering away.”

Players with unique skills and abilities, basically called production types, find it increasingly difficult to climb the Tower.

No matter how fairly the Tower evaluates all abilities, the main trials are mostly related to combat.

Nevertheless, these weaknesses were not at all apparent in the Diablo Guild members.

Go Chang-seok and the twin sisters were all passing the trials, showing a more powerful appearance than ordinary players.

In particular, Go Chang-seok was the strongest in terms of strength in the Diablo Guild, next to Kang Han-cheol, excluding Seun.

“Actually, even if it’s fair, wouldn’t it be thanks to my equipment being the best?”

Go Chang-seok’s combat equipment is basically full-body armor and a combat hammer.

He can create equipment that fits him perfectly using the best materials, so he can’t be weak even if he doesn’t have overflowing strength.

Looking at his equipment, which was made so well that it was still amazing, Seun began to discuss the main topic.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“If it’s something I can do, I’ll help you with anything. Just say the word.”

Crash.

“Hmm, I thought I made it quite sturdy. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. Still, it was able to exert its power once.”

What Seun took out was the wreckage of a broken weapon.

It was the Death Scythe that had been imbued with the Authority of Greed to cut down the souls of the prisoners in the hidden dungeon, Arune’s Root Prison.

In addition, the Betrayer’s Double-Edged Axe, which he had been using frequently recently, although it wasn’t made by Go Chang-seok, was also broken.

It’s just that he didn’t realize it because Durandal was surprisingly sturdy, but ordinary weapons struggled to withstand the power of the Authority of Greed.

“This is a problem. My skills are my skills, but without basically strong materials, I can’t create equipment with that much durability.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Crash.

Seun once again poured out the items from his subspace pocket.

The materials he had obtained by sweeping through various hidden dungeons from the 61st to the 65th floors and defeating powerful monsters such as pests and bosses.

– Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ drools, saying that wasn’t the most delicious part.

“Heo……!”

“Can you make me some sturdy weapons, using them generously?”

Indeed, is he a blacksmith?

Go Chang-seok widened his eyes as he looked at the rare and strong materials that he had never seen even at the auction house.
