Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 519

519. Stolen Goods from the Devil’s Vault

It hurts.

It hurts so much.

My stomach felt like it was burning from the inside, as if I had swallowed the sun, and a sharp, cruel pain spread outwards, like thorns sprouting within me.

Saaa-

In an instant, the burning sensation inside my stomach gradually subsided.

The pain had clearly lessened compared to before, but Se-un’s spirits didn’t lift much.

‘Stop…….’

It’s agonizing.

No, I’d rather die.

The vaguely subsided pain brought both the hope that I wouldn’t die and the agony that I’d rather die at the same time.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ scolds you for not getting up right away and doing nothing.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ threatens to kill you if you don’t get up right away.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ is…….

A familiar sensation washed over me.

My eyelids were too heavy to see, but there was only one constellation that would send messages like this in rapid succession.

It had to be Mammon, screaming and threatening me.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ demands that you open your mouth right away.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ presents you with treasures from the vault.

– The Vault of Greed (眞) [True/Genuine] has been opened.

[ Supreme Elixir, Elixir ]

– The best potion with excellent recovery abilities, known as a panacea or an elixir of immortality.

Did I really open my mouth?

I don’t remember doing so, but maybe it happened involuntarily as I screamed in pain.

The clear energy that entered through my lips spread throughout my body.

In particular, the energy rushed to the area around my abdomen, which had been burning like the sun, and immediately cooled the intense heat to a manageable level.

But even so, Se-un’s pain did not completely disappear.

‘It’s still painful…….’

The burning sensation in my abdomen was gone, but the thorn-like pain remained.

If anything, it felt even more intense, stabbing at my abdomen with renewed vigor, to the point where I almost preferred the previous sensation of swallowing the sun.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ is embarrassed by your physical condition that cannot be cured even with an elixir.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ presents you with treasures from the vault.

– The Vault of Greed (眞) [True/Genuine] has been opened.

[ Desert Treasure, Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure ]

– A panacea known as the best antidote in the world, said to be found only in the poisonous swamps of the desert.

This time, Se-un felt a pleasant heat around his mouth.

Even though it was heat, it was completely different from the agonizing burning I had felt in my stomach earlier.

A pleasant warmth, like a sacred fire that burns away impurities and purifies toxins.

But even that didn’t make Se-un’s pain go away.

“Kuh…….”

The thorns that were filling my body rebelled against the antidote given by Mammon, causing even greater pain.

A pain like sharp iron claws scratching at each blood vessel.

Se-un’s tightly closed mouth parted, and a faint groan escaped.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ is embarrassed, saying this can’t be happening.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ bites his lip tightly at the fact that his best antidote is not working.

The pain grew worse and worse.

The energy flowing from the back of my right hand was somehow preventing this pain from reaching my head, but as time went on, the pain intensified.

‘Please…….’

Every time a helping hand reached out to save Se-un, the pain Se-un felt grew even worse.

Nothing made sense anymore.

I just wanted it to stop.

I couldn’t bear it.

– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Enclosing Jealousy,’ curls its tail tightly, saying it’s all because of her.

Jealousy’s power had been ineffective against the Outer in this battle.

Perhaps because of this, Leviathan was overcome with guilt, believing that Se-un’s collapse was her fault.

Although it was a relationship between a constellation and a human, a constellation and a player, Se-un was not just a simple human or player to her, but a ‘benefactor’.

– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Enclosing Jealousy,’ rises from its seat.

Therefore, she made a decision.

Even if she had to use up all the divinity she had recovered from the Black Sea, she would save Se-un.

* * *

Seogeogeog!

Yoo Seo-ah’s body brushed past the Outer, creating hundreds of wounds.

Perhaps because of the Outer’s armor-like hardness, the wounds were shallower than usual, but her main attack wasn’t deep wounds, but Baal’s extreme poison flowing through them.

But.

“Karararak!”

Her extreme poison couldn’t penetrate the scorpion’s body.

The extreme poison that had defeated hundreds of Outers in the West Gate was proving useless here.

“Everyone, get out of the way.”

“Disperse!”

“Yes!”

– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘End of War’.

Kwaaaang!!

Kang Han-cheol, covered in alligator skin, threw a punch, and grains of desert sand soared rapidly from the left and right of the scorpion, forming the shape of an alligator.

Thanks to the power that had been amplified by consuming the elixir made from Arun’s petals, the sand alligator relentlessly bit at the scorpion.

“Kararararak!!”

It didn’t fall.

Judging from the cracks all over its body, it seemed to have taken some damage, but it screamed and the cracks healed quickly.

“What the hell is this guy…….”

“It’s on a different level from the Outers we’ve faced so far!”

“What about the Master?”

“I’m managing to treat the external wounds, but this poison is beyond my capabilities.”

“Th, then what do we do?”

“……I’m sorry. I’m preventing the poison from spreading to vital organs, but I can’t do anything more.”

Lee Ha-neul gritted her teeth.

The Diablo Guild members expressed their worries, but no one was as heartbroken as Lee Ha-neul in that moment.

She was the only healer in the Diablo Guild, and she couldn’t even cure the guild leader’s poisoning. It felt like all the confidence she had built up by creating countless potions had been shattered.

“I, I can’t stop it!”

“What if we retreat the formation first? Evacuate to a safe zone and focus on the Master’s recovery…….”

“There’s nowhere to run from here anyway. The only option would be to use Scavenger as a meat shield to buy time, but Se-un wouldn’t want that.”

“But!”

Everyone had already fought hundreds of Outers and was unable to exert their full strength.

No, even if they were at full strength, it didn’t seem like they could win against that Outer.

‘Se-un, facing such an enemy…….’

Yoo Seo-ah’s sword was losing its strength.

It was a different level of power than the Outers they had faced so far.

No, that was just an excuse, because dealing with new, powerful enemies was practically their everyday life.

The truth was, it was hard to focus because she was worried about Se-un, who was losing consciousness and bleeding behind her.

“Defeat the Regression-ist…… Destroy the- Tower…….”

The Outer, who had been preoccupied with the Diablo Guild, turned its body as if annoyed and started moving straight towards Se-un and Scavenger.

“Stop it!”

The Diablo Guild members rallied together and blocked its path.

Choi Soo-chang tied its legs with a harpoon, and the twin sisters summoned a huge wall to obstruct its way.

Thump, thump, thump!

“Ugh! This guy, what kind of strength is this…….”

Yet, the Outer’s movements showed no sign of stopping.

The harpoon’s rope snapped, unable to withstand its power, and the wall shattered into pieces with a single pinch.

However, thanks to the time they bought, Kang Han-cheol was able to position himself in front.

– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Commencement of War’.

KWAANG!!

The basic skill Kang Han-cheol had used the most since entering the Tower.

His fist, more solid and confident than any other attack, struck the ground, causing a massive sand wall to rise and block its path.

But…….

“Kara-ra-rack-!!”

It didn’t stop.

Even as it broke through the sand wall, its pincers shattered, and its lower carapace was pierced, it didn’t cease its leg movements.

Kang Han-cheol didn’t evade but raised both arms to resist, yet the Outer’s pincers grabbed him and flung him far away.

“No…….”

It can’t be.

Ahead were Se-un, unconscious and collapsed, and Lee Ha-neul, focusing all her attention on healing him.

The moment they lose Se-un, everything would be over.

They had to save him no matter what.

Beeeeeep-

On Yoo Seo-ah’s head, Baal’s crown, emitting an even stronger and more intense light than before, was placed.

– Constellation, ‘Spider Who Wears a Crown,’ admires the contractor’s beautiful crown.

As a faint red light flickered from the beautifully engraved, intricate patterns, a semi-transparent cloak flowed down behind her.

Truly, the aura of a king.

It wasn’t just taking off Baal’s crown; it was a unique appearance that only she could express.

“No way!”

Taat!

The moment she kicked off, her figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.

She vanished like the wind itself.

Swish!

At that moment, a small scratch appeared on the Outer’s leg.

Like being struck by Scavenger’s unique sharp sandstorm, a very small scratch.

The Outer ignored it and extended its leg again, but its foreleg could no longer perform its primary function of walking.

“Karr-r-ruck?”

Its foreleg was severed.

Immediately after, a red sandstorm erupted around it.

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwah!

A new scratch appears on top of the scratch.

Another scratch is etched onto that scratch.

A single grain of sand blown by the wind can only create a small scratch, but if those grains of sand gather to create a massive sandstorm, the story changes.

That was a disaster.

A massive calamity that a single life form couldn’t handle.

“Kara-ra-rack!”

As another leg was cut off, it lost its balance.

Swish!

A scratch appeared through the gap in its carapace, and the demon king’s potent poison, capable of even poisoning gods, seeped in.

“Karrack, kara-rack!”

It swung its pincers and stabbed its tail in all directions, but one cannot quell a sandstorm by wielding weapons.

Eventually, the Outer, unable to move, collapsed to the ground with a thud!

Its wounds were constantly regenerating, but it couldn’t fully recover from the wounds torn apart by the sandstorm.

Whoosh-

However, even a disaster couldn’t be infinite.

The sandstorm, which had been so brutal, gradually began to weaken over time.

“Haa, haa…….”

Yoo Seo-ah revealed herself through the weakened wind.

Blood, a deeper color than the crimson crown, flowed down from it.

Not only there but also blood flowing down from various parts of her body dripped onto the floor.

The price of causing a disaster with a human body.

Although she created a red storm, the human body was too fragile to withstand the storm it created.

It was only thanks to the cloak that appeared behind her that she could endure this much.

“Kara-ra-rack-”

As soon as the storm stopped, the Outer quickly healed its wounds.

Even though its entire body had been lacerated with a sword made of meteorites.

If it were another Outer, it wouldn’t have lasted even if hundreds of lives were at stake.

Even with an attack that fully revealed her potential, no, transcended her potential, it didn’t fall.

Nevertheless, Yoo Seo-ah didn’t give up.

“Absolutely not……!”

Thwack!

Her twin swords pierced the Outer’s crown.

A gap created by the previous attack.

Through that gap, she released a unique power that even Baal didn’t possess.

– Player Yoo Seo-ah dominates ‘##$#@’.

The Outer stopped moving. Its movements, which seemed like they would never stop, halted as if it were a lie.

“This far, absolutely!”

Blood streamed down her nose.

So much blood flowed from her entire body that the scorpion’s crown where she stood was already soaked.

Even from her wide-open eyes, blood flowed, but she didn’t loosen her grip on the sword.

“Absolutely, not allowed!”

“K-raa-ra-rack-!!”

She also knew.

That all she could do with her current strength was to stop the Outer’s movements.

And that if she collapsed like this, the time she had bought would ultimately become meaningless.

However, she couldn’t give up.

Having decided to walk behind Se-un, no, beside Se-un, she couldn’t bring herself to utter the word ‘give up.’

Creak, creak, creak-

The Outer’s body began to move little by little.

Making strange noises as if forcibly operating rusty machinery, little by little, very little by little.

A handful of blood escaped from Yoo Seo-ah’s mouth, and the crown and cloak gradually faded.

‘Se-un…….’

She looked up.

But, was it an illusion?

Se-un was standing up.

Looking at her with his usual cold eyes, reaching out his hand to her.

“Thank you, Yoo Seo-ah.”

“Se-un!”

Swish!

A rope flying from behind wrapped around Yoo Seo-ah’s body.

The rope attached to Choi Soo-chang’s harpoon.

With no strength left to even hold a sword, her body, leaving behind the twin swords, was pulled by the rope, flying through the air.

Just before losing consciousness, she could see.

– Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Jealousy,’ possesses player ‘Jeong Se-un’.

KWAANG-!!

The massive snake’s tail that appeared behind Se-un was crushing the Outer.
