Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 490

Chapter 490

Triton’s appearance was just as Se-un remembered.

His entire body was covered in gleaming shark scales, with gills extending down from below his ears, jagged teeth, sea-blue eyes, and a glossy tail resembling a dolphin.

The only thing missing was the sense of intimidation Se-un had felt during their first encounter.

‘Well, this guy is no different from Pan.’

Even if Triton maintained his ego or appearance, he was just a remnant being absorbed by Se-un anyway.

Having already lost his status as a god, there was no way he could display the same intimidation as before.

No, frankly, even if he *did* display that intimidation, Se-un was no longer at a level to bow his head before him.

“I knew it from when you were buried in the dust of that ruin. A coward’s nature doesn’t change, I see.”

“Th, that’s……”

Pan avoided Triton’s sarcasm, then looked at Se-un, as if begging for help since he had guided him here.

Se-un had spared Pan’s life, but he didn’t consider him a true ally. However, Se-un had no intention of leaving Triton alone either.

“Says the guy who’s hiding himself.”

“What? Who’s hiding……!”

“You’re both the same. If you were confident, you would have done something a long time ago, right? You’re a former Saint [a powerful, spiritually advanced individual], so there’s no way you wouldn’t know how.”

He came to the dantian [energy center in the body, according to Eastern traditions] to cultivate power for revenge?

Unlike Pan, Triton at least seemed to be trying to do something, but looking at his current state, it didn’t seem like he had gained anything.

His right hand was burned red, and his left hand had traces of frostbite.

It seemed he had been trying to seize the power of the dantian for quite some time, but he ultimately failed.

Perhaps Pan also initially tried to seize power like that, failed, and gave up?

“In the end, you’re the same. Just being a parasite here.”

“Pa, parasite! You bastard!”

“There’s no need to waste time. I was going to deal with you anyway.”

Se-un drew his sword.

There was nothing to gain from talking to the remnants of a dead god.

“Hahaha! You fool! Did you really think I was hiding here without gaining anything!”

Boo-ooo-ooo!

Triton took out a conch shell and blew it forcefully.

The conch shell’s unique low and majestic sound echoed, and the swirling seawater began to change its movement.

“I succeeded. Although it’s still weak, I succeeded! I still need more time, but since you came to me, it’s a different story!”

The tip of the seawater protruding from the vortex froze solid, becoming the shape of a sharp spear aimed at Se-un.

He deflected it by swinging Durendal [Se-un’s sword], but the attack was not the end.

From the dozens of vortices located below the dantian, dozens of streams of seawater simultaneously protruded, becoming sharp ice spears and shooting at Se-un like the tentacles of a kraken [a legendary sea monster].

“Do you need help?”

“No.”

No matter how much power of the dantian he had absorbed, Triton was just a remnant who had lost his divinity, like Pan.

No matter how much he struggled, he was no match for Se-un.

– The power of ‘Aqua Storm’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Black Tower.

– The range of ‘Aqua Storm’ is expanded according to the mysteries of the Red Tower.

A storm of water arose in front of Se-un.

However, this was underwater. Instead of the massive storm that should have occurred, a huge vortex arose, and instead of the torrential rain that should have fallen, the surrounding seawater rushed towards the vortex.

Magic creates phenomena by drawing in surrounding mana [magical energy] through the mana contained in one’s circle [level of magical attainment].

As such, it is affected by various environmental factors, such as how abundant the surrounding mana is and what attributes it consists of.

And Se-un’s current location was underwater.

Triton controlled the seawater by blowing the conch shell, but Se-un was also capable of generating power no less potent.

Kwakwakwakwa-!!

“Oh, amazing. It has surpassed the level of 7th circle magic.”

Even considering the advantage of being underwater, Se-un’s magic seemed to have far surpassed the level of the 7th circle.

Its power was enough to easily swallow the dozens of ice spears that Triton had created.

The vortex, not satisfied with that, continued to move towards Triton.

It devoured the dozens of vortices that existed below the dantian, growing even larger, and finally swallowed even Triton, who was proudly blowing the conch shell.

“Was swallowing the vortices in its path part of the plan? To utilize the surrounding environment so well. I guess this is the difference in practical experience. So, is it over now?”

“It won’t be.”

Although it was 7th circle magic that made extreme use of the surrounding environment, it would be difficult to defeat Triton with this one blow.

As if proving Se-un’s words, the huge vortex burst open, and Triton appeared from within in a different form than before.

“Hahaha! I couldn’t show you this form when I faced you before. All thanks to the damn restrictions of the Tower!”

Triton’s appearance, completely revealed as the vortex disappeared, was completely different from the beginning.

The shark scales covering his entire body had become much larger and harder than before, and his face was no longer human.

A protruding snout with shark’s teeth sticking out like weapons.

In addition, his tail had been modified to resemble that of a shark rather than a dolphin, and his claws had become sharp, unlike those of aquatic creatures. Unlike before, when he was in the form of a merman, he now looked more like a monster.

“But now, it’s different! It’s different from the plan, but I’ll defeat you in this place and take over your body!”

Dozens of waterspouts arose around Triton.

They writhed like living creatures and rushed towards Se-un, following Triton’s fingers.

‘Ruin.’

Wooong-

If it was Ruin, who had faced Triton with Se-un before, he would be of great help in this battle, so he tried to summon him, but Ruin did not appear.

Only the fierce light emitted from the stigma [a mark or brand indicating divine favor or curse] announced its presence, pointing to the sky.

‘Can’t I summon him here?’

The place the stigma was pointing to was probably the top of the mental world.

The tenth destroyed shelter, the place where Se-un’s stigma was expected to be materialized and exist.

It was a pity that he couldn’t borrow Ruin’s help, but it didn’t matter.

– The stability of ‘Reflection’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Azure Tower.

– ‘Reflection’ becomes more robust according to the mysteries of the Yellow Tower.

Kwagwagwagwa!!

The glass barrier that appeared in front of Se-un blocked the waterspouts.

In addition, the waterspouts were randomly deflected by the unique reflective power of Reflection, colliding with other approaching waterspouts and weakening their power.

“Hahaha! It’s just a temporary measure! In this sea, my power is infinite!”

Triton rushed in, riding on one of the waterspouts.

Se-un stared at him and lowered Durendal.

‘I can’t use the authority of lust…….’

Since he couldn’t receive external help, there was no authority he could use for combat other than the authority of greed that Se-un could use on his own.

However, Se-un was powerful enough without borrowing the authority of the Demon God.

Shururuk-

Se-un summoned the remnants of the Aqua Storm that Triton had unleashed and infused it into his sword.

Thanks to that, the Reflection that was blocking the waterspouts quickly weakened, but Se-un’s attack was already prepared.

“I will swallow you! And return to Olympus [home of the Greek gods] once again!”

The reflector shattered like a broken mirror, and hundreds of waterspouts flew in through the gap.

Triton, riding on the largest waterspout, raised a sharp trident and aimed for Se-un’s heart.

Just as the sharp tip of the trident reached Se-un’s nose and a chilling coldness was felt, Se-un finally swung Durendal.

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Bukhae Sword Style [a sword fighting style], Bukhae Whirlpool, is enhanced.

– Coldness is added to the martial art according to the mysteries of the Ice White Divine Art.

The most powerful form of the Bukhae Sword Style that Se-un could currently unleash, Bukhae Whirlpool.

The internal energy contained in the dantian changed into yin energy [a concept in Eastern philosophy representing the passive, feminine principle] and flowed through Se-un’s arms, hands, and sword, becoming a cold vortex.

Woo-woo-woong-!!

‘It’s reacting.’

The huge sphere behind Triton vibrated in response to Se-un’s attack.

The already cool coldness became even stronger, and the seawater below the sphere began to freeze solid.

“Dare you attack the god of the sea with such flimsy water droplets!”

“Who are you calling the god of the sea?”

Kwagwagwagwagat!!

“Heuk?”

Se-un’s attack was not the end.

The Aqua Storm covered the top of the vortex created by the Bukhae Whirlpool.

The Aqua Storm partially froze due to the coldness unique to yin energy, creating sharp ice fragments.

This swallowed Triton’s waterspouts, just like it had swallowed the vortex at first, making its size even larger.

“You lost your divinity a long time ago.”

“Y, yes, but! If I just swallow your body, restoring my divinity will be easy! Then, my father will definitely!”

“Ah, you mean Poseidon [Greek god of the sea]?”

“Don’t dare utter my father’s name so carelessly!”

“I just reconciled with Poseidon a while ago. Wouldn’t he have forgotten about you a long time ago?”

“Wh, what!”

Se-un’s words were not a lie.

Although they didn’t have a direct conversation to reconcile, the contract conditions put forward when fighting the Blue Sea Guild included Poseidon’s forgiveness.

He would have to have a proper conversation with Xenon about this soon, but in effect, he had obtained Poseidon’s official forgiveness.

“F, false! That can’t be! My father……!”

“If you were a god, you would be able to distinguish lies, right?”

“No! Th, that can’t be!”

Although he was denying it, Triton could tell.

As Se-un said, if he was a god, it wouldn’t be difficult to see through human lies.

Even though he had lost his divinity, the truth was clearly visible because Se-un was openly revealing all his emotions.

“Damn it, damn it! Heuaaaaak!”

Triton pushed his trident forward, sending the waterspouts even stronger.

The confrontation between the ice vortex and the waterspouts.

A tense battle continued, but Se-un and Triton, the parties involved, could feel it. The waterspouts, shaking according to his mental state, were about to collapse.

“I don’t need any of it! I didn’t need a father in the first place! I’ll swallow you, and I’ll destroy Olympus and my father!”

Triton’s eyes turned red. It wasn’t that the energy of the stigma had gathered like Se-un’s, but his eyes were bloodshot from being blinded by revenge.

However, it didn’t mean that the waterspouts had regained their balance.

They began to falter beyond shaking, as if a screw was loose, and were gradually swallowed by Se-un’s vortex.

As the situation turned out like this, Triton changed his gaze, glared at Pan, and shouted.

“Pan! You damn bastard! Are you going to keep acting like a dog like that? Now is the chance! Eat that guy, and we’ll conquer the Tower!”

“B, but…….”

“You stupid bastard! I’ll take all the responsibility!”

“Hehe, that’s a bit difficult.”

The Great Sage in the water droplet shook his staff. Then, the seawater rose up like iron bars, binding Pan’s entire body.

Pan, who had been contemplating Triton’s words, looked rather comfortable even though his body was bound. Then, he let out a groan towards Triton, as if to say that he couldn’t help because of these iron bars.

“You useless bastard! I even came down to the Tower to avenge you and ended up like this!”

“D, don’t lie. There’s no way you would…….”

“You bastard, until the end!”

“Enough with the chatter.”

Kwaaaaak!!

“Heuaaaak!”

As Se-un put strength into the hand holding his sword, Triton’s body was pushed back. The waterspouts were completely swallowed, and the ice vortex, as if full, pushed Triton with a much larger size than before.

The monster-like enlarged body was of no help. It was just barely blocking the ice fragments with its thick shark scales.

Thud!

“Keuheok!”

Triton was pushed and pushed until there was no place to be pushed, and his back collided with the dantian, and he frowned and let out a groan.

Then, the huge sphere resonated greatly.

It was a reaction he had never seen before, but was it because it was the materialized form of his dantian? If not, was it because of someone who was always asking Se-un for ‘food’ in that way?

Se-un could quickly realize what the sphere’s resonance meant.

“It seems like you look delicious?”
