The Vault of the Demon God-Episode 451

Chapter 451

“Ruin, shall we take a walk?”

– Grrr!

Everyone was busily moving about in the Diablo Guild’s residence.

The only one leisurely amidst them was Arcana.

Well, it wasn’t that she was doing nothing at all.

Using her experience as a former ranker [a highly ranked player], she provided significant help to the Diablo Guild with appropriate advice and assistance.

Many had received her help, and they knew how strong she was, so no one in the Diablo Guild ignored her.

“Oh my, are you busy again today?”

“That’s right, Ruin is…….”

“I’m going to play with him even harder today. Yesterday, he was panting with his tongue out, didn’t you see? It was so cute.”

“Ruin was?”

Ruin panting with his tongue out. He had never done that even in extreme combat situations or during prolonged summons.

Wondering if she was telling the truth, he turned to see Ruin subtly avoiding Seun’s gaze.

Seeing him like that only made her words more believable.

“Well, I’m counting on you again today.”

“Counting on me? I’m doing it because it’s fun too~”

Entrusting Ruin to her had significant advantages.

It encouraged Ruin to perform various actions, broadening his range of activities and making him aware of the limits of what he could do, thus improving not only Ruin’s ego but also his physical abilities.

And another thing.

‘Recently, I even found out the maximum radius we can be apart.’

This was something he hadn’t noticed because he hadn’t paid attention to it until now. By leaving Ruin with Arcana and wandering around, he was able to roughly gauge the amount of divinity consumed based on the distance.

In conclusion, there is no maximum radius for Ruin.

Instead, if they are separated by a certain distance or more, the amount of divinity consumed exceeds the total amount of divinity Seun possesses, resulting in a forced reverse summon.

In the end, as long as divinity allows, Ruin can maintain his summoned state no matter how far apart they are.

‘It’s practically impossible, though.’

Conversely, the closer Ruin is to Seun, the less divinity is consumed.

Especially when Ruin is imbued in Seun’s weapon, the efficiency is maximized.

Thanks to playing with Arcana, he was able to gain and learn these various things.

“Aren’t you resting for too long this time? This is a residence, not a resting place.”

“It’s worth it. Why, are you bored?”

“I’m getting a little bored~ I was told to go alone in the trials, so I couldn’t even follow you, right?”

“I couldn’t help it.”

“Then is the next trial okay?”

“It doesn’t really matter, but you probably won’t be able to follow.”

“Oh my, are you ignoring me? I’m not that weak, you know~”

“It’s not a matter of being strong or weak.”

Before arriving at the next resting place, Seun’s biggest goal and plan was to meet the Demon God of Lust.

He didn’t know much about the Demon God of Lust yet, but it seemed impossible to meet him with Arcana around.

– The constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Jealousy,’ judges that even for her, accompaniment would be too much.

– The constellation, ‘Crow Bowing Its Head,’ sighs as it recalls the identity of Lust.

“Still, I’m satisfied.”

“With what?”

“With this life. Somehow, everyone is like fresh sprouts, so it’s fun to nurture them, you know?”

“Who’s nurturing who.”

“Each one has useful potential. I’m amazed at where you got these kids.”

“I didn’t exactly bring them. Except for a few, they’re all companions who started together from the tutorial.”

“Then it’s not that they had high potential, but rather that Mr. Wolf nurtured their potential well. I didn’t think so, but you have a talent for fostering?”

Potential.

Thinking about it, it was strange that all the players who participated in the tutorial had high potential.

Of course, it was possible that those with high potential in the mortal world were selected and invited to the Tower, but if that were the case, there shouldn’t be any players who dropped out.

Seun’s intention wasn’t to draw out the guild members’ potential but to ‘not rely on him’ or ‘be able to overcome things on their own.’

Perhaps that alone stimulated and revealed the potential of all the guild members.

“Ah, and also.”

“Is there something else?”

“Isn’t it time to rely on people a little more?”

“……Rely on?”

Arcana sent a card flying far away as she spoke.

Ruin was already out of sight, dashing forward in a cloud of dust to retrieve the card.

“It’s not my place to say, but I think it’s time for Mr. Wolf to rely on people too. All the sprouts here want that too.”

“In my own way…….”

“I heard you’ve gotten better than before, but you’re still planning to carry out this plan alone, right?”

“I told you. It’s something only I can do anyway.”

“Finding the Demon God of Lust, I know. Even if we can’t meet him together, we can still search together, right?”

“……How did you know?”

– The constellation, ‘Prince of Prophecy,’ is startled.

– The constellation, ‘Prince of Prophecy,’ avoids your gaze.

Prince of Prophecy.

There was no way he wouldn’t know Basago, the Great Demon King who held the 3rd rank among the 72 Demon Gods.

Unlike Baal or Agares, who appeared immediately, Basago had not contracted with any of the Diablo Guild members, and it seemed he had been eyeing Arcana.

In the meantime, he must have blurted out Seun’s plan, which he had overheard from the Demon Gods.

“I think you’re worried we’ll be a hindrance or a nuisance. Everyone’s waiting. Waiting for when their guild master will trust them and give them orders.”

“That’s…….”

“Ah, but I am curious.”

Arcana muttered as she watched Ruin returning from afar with the card in his mouth.

“The Demon God of Lust. The face of the constellation that Mr. Wolf is so eager to meet.”

* * *

“Is everything ready?”

“Yes. Ahreum and Down are still not fully satisfied, but it’s not urgent right now.”

“Ah, I could have finished it with just a little more!”

“Then let’s find more materials on the next floor. There might be some useful wood?”

“Let’s do that!”

It wasn’t a long time, but in the meantime, Seun and the Diablo Guild had obtained numerous results.

Building defensive facilities in preparation for the guild war, Go Changseok’s new equipment, Lee Haneul’s various potions, etc.

It was only after climbing five floors, but they had all obtained many items and grown a lot, making these things possible.

“Are you planning to go up to the 70th floor in one go this time as well?”

“Yes. However…….”

Seun looked down at Arcana, who was covering her mouth with a card below the platform.

The conversation he had with her a while ago lingered in his mind.

Taking a short breath, Seun spoke the words he had been contemplating.

“If possible, I’d like you to help me on the 68th floor.”

“Pardon?”

“It’s not a demand. Just, if possible. I’d like you to help with the search a little on the 68th floor.”

The Diablo Guild members stiffened at Seun’s words.

Since the tutorial began, Seun had handled most of the tasks alone, including conquering trials, dealing with monsters, and even things within the trials.

The guild members had been busy trying to help, but Seun had rarely asked for their help directly.

But now, he was openly asking for help on the platform.

Everyone was stunned, and Seun shook his head and retracted his words.

“No, forget what I just said…….”

“Understood. Master!”

Surprisingly, the first to respond was Harry.

Harry Kane.

He was the last to join the Diablo Guild, but he had more loyalty to Seun than anyone else.

And that answer became a kind of signal flare.

“Of course, we have to help!”

“We’ve been waiting for you to give us orders!”

“You’re always wandering around without contacting us, so we’ve been busy chasing you. Now you’re finally telling us where you’re going!”

“Okay, everyone heard that, right? Let’s climb as fast as possible and meet on the 68th floor.”

The morale increased even more than when they had gathered their minds and shouted to depart from the resting place. Seun was even taken aback by their energetic appearance.

Seeing that, Yoo Seoa quietly whispered to Seun, just loud enough for him to hear.

“Thank you. Everyone was waiting.”

“……Is that so.”

Looking down, Arcana was also giving him a bright smile that couldn’t be hidden by her card.

The atmosphere became too bright, and Seun didn’t know how to respond.

In times like these, the best thing to do is…….

“……Then, let’s depart immediately.”

“I think I just saw something.”

“Didn’t our guild leader’s face turn a little red?”

“Hyung-nim [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend]? No way!”

“I think I saw it too?”

“He’s running away. He’s running away!”

Erasing his thoughts and leaving to do his job is the best thing to do.

Starting with Seun’s disappearance, the Diablo Guild members began to leave for the 66th floor’s trial.

* * *

– Welcome to the 66th floor’s trial.

– Theme: Consolation of the Jicheon Tree

– Having been recognized by the Jicheon Tree of Qualification, you have faced the Jicheon Tree, which soars high into the sky.

– Now it is your turn to climb it.

– Climb the Jicheon Tree until you reach the first branch.

As soon as they arrived at the trial, they were faced with the pillar of the Jicheon Tree, which had been the goal of the 65th floor’s trial.

The pillar was right in front of them, so only the pillar of the Jicheon Tree came into view.

The content of the trial is simple.

Just climb the Jicheon Tree.

However, there is one problem…….

“……How are we supposed to climb this?”

Unlike when they had to climb Arune’s consolation in the previous trial, where there were stairs kindly placed on the stem, this time there was nothing.

There were no stairs, ladders, or passages.

The only thing to grab onto was the bark, but because the tree was so huge, the bark was too big and thick.

It seemed more like climbing a cliff than climbing a tree.

“Simple.”

The first to speak was Kang Hancheol.

Kwaang!!

He kicked off the ground as if to break it and jumped upwards.

Then, when he floated as high as possible, he thrust his fist forward and slammed his arm into one of the tree barks as if to break it.

Immediately following that, he used that support to kick off the tree pillar once again and jump above it.

“I see.”

Tadat!

Next was Yoo Seoa.

Drawing her twin swords, she took a short breath and quickly dashed up the tree pillar in a spiral.

Instead of breaking the tree bark to create supports like Kang Hancheol, she stepped on the vertically rising tree pillar like a flat floor and jumped.

It was truly a miraculous sight.

It was possible because her footwork had already reached its peak.

Watching the two of them, the Diablo Guild members nodded.

The method doesn’t matter. All they have to do is climb this tree somehow.

It’s not about fighting monsters, but about climbing the pillar by utilizing their individual personalities as they have done so far.

And in the center of that.

“Easy.”

Flap!

Seun spread his purple wings and soared vertically into the air.
