Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 522

522

“Haha, thank you so much! You’ve saved Skavde once again. You’re truly a benefactor of our Skavde!”

Skavde’s inner castle.

The lord of Skavde, whom I thought had run away because I couldn’t see him, was praising Se-un.

I heard that he had been holding his position in the center of Skavde while the Outers were invading.

As everyone was in an anxious situation, it was to reassure the residents by showing himself confidently as the lord without running away.

Se-un and all the Diablo Guild members were fighting at the castle gates, so they just hadn’t seen him.

‘He’s a good person, though.’

I felt it before, but he’s a decent person with good character.

In a situation where all sides of the city are being attacked, he doesn’t run away and confidently holds his position in the center. What lord could show such courage?

However, that doesn’t mean he’s a good lord.

Frankly, it was hard to say that he was managing Skavde well.

“I heard the news. These enemies were the cause of the sandstorms that have been tormenting Skavde for so long!”

“Yes.”

“Now that the cause of the sandstorms is gone, the sandstorms and monsters that have been plaguing Skavde will decrease! You are truly Skavde’s benefactor! No, a hero!”

Just in case there were any Outers left.

Also, to check if a meteorite had fallen at the source, I sent Harry in advance to scout the area where the Outers had come from.

As a result, as the lord said, the place where they appeared was where a huge sandstorm had been.

However, the rough sandstorm had completely disappeared, and in its place, a meteorite was buried in the sand, with only a part of it exposed like the tip of an iceberg.

Naturally, the Diablo Guild recovered the meteorite.

“By the way, I’m taken aback. To think that the great being revered by our ancestors has transformed into such a form.”

“I heard it was a monster of the Scorching Sands.”

“A monster. Well, that’s true, but that being was also the guardian deity of Skavde.”

The lord continued his explanation.

The monster of the Scorching Sands, said to have been born deep in Skavde’s desert, nourished by the hot sunlight.

It was a terrifying being that mercilessly wielded its poisonous stinger if its territory was invaded, but conversely, it was also a guardian deity that punished the evil forces that attacked Skavde.

Therefore, Skavde’s ancestors feared, respected, and revered the monster.

Then.

“The reason our ancestors sealed that being must be because of that form.”

The monster was corrupted by the Outers.

It was a method that couldn’t be understood even with the current knowledge, but the ancestors used the desert magic passed down through generations to seal the Outers.

That monster was finally defeated by Se-un’s hand.

“It’s a sad thing, but that being was no longer an object of reverence or a guardian deity. From now on, you are the guardian deity of Skavde.”

“I decline.”

“Haha, decline! Everyone in the city already thinks so.”

“Once things are settled, we will leave Skavde immediately.”

“Do you think I’ll hold you back? I already know you’re going to leave. You don’t have to do anything. Just remain in people’s hearts.”

The lord placed his hand on Se-un’s shoulder.

Listening to his words, Se-un lowered his gaze slightly and recalled the message that had appeared earlier.

– You have defeated the guardian deity of Skavde, the monster of the Scorching Sands.

– Skavde will remember you as a ‘savior’.

– The legend of the Blood Wolf includes ‘The Wolf of the Scorching Sands’.

With this battle, Se-un gained another legend.

Along with it, the power of the Sacred Imprint also became stronger than before.

He should have been happy that his power had increased, but Se-un wasn’t.

‘What is his real intention?’

The Tyrant.

What was he thinking when he released the monster of the Scorching Sands?

It was such a powerful enemy that Se-un would have died without Leviathan’s help, but did he really think Se-un wouldn’t be able to defeat the monster?

No, that can’t be.

The Tyrant’s real purpose is…….

‘Learning.’

The word he heard when they first met, ‘learning’.

He was using some method to make the Outers learn and become stronger.

The Outer he faced this time was the same.

It had a completely different appearance and power than the Outers he had seen so far.

It might have been in that form since it was trapped in the sandstorm, but Se-un thought that form was the result of learning.

In other words, the Tyrant, through this battle…….

‘Is it an experiment?’

Was he checking the power of the Outer that he had newly transformed through learning?

Just like Baek-hyun, who was experimenting with the Undead and meteorites in various ways against the Outers at the North Gate.

If so, things become even more serious.

‘Because it would have become stronger than what I saw before the regression.’

Even in the timeline before the regression, it was the Outers who had subjugated even the Constellations.

For those Outers to become even stronger.

Se-un’s expectations that he had gained definite power by ascending to Elheim and would be able to face the Outers sufficiently were shattered.

Se-un alone could not stop the Outers from sweeping through the entire Tower.

Moreover, if the strengthened Outers he saw this time were to attack, the Tower would collapse in an instant, no matter how hard Se-un worked.

‘I have to use every method possible.’

Having the Cheonghae Guild under his control was just the beginning.

He needed the help of not only Valhalla and other large guilds, but also the Constellations.

Perhaps the beginning would be Olympus.

While Se-un’s mind was racing.

“Come on, let’s not stay here and go outside.”

The lord of Skavde put his arm around Se-un’s shoulder and went outside.

As soon as he opened the door, the smell of greasy meat and Skavde’s unique palm wine made from palm fruit stung his nose.

“We can’t not have a toast on a day like today! And a hero should always be accompanied by wine and song, shouldn’t he?”

Ttiriring-

With the lord’s flamboyant shout and the soft sound of the harp, Skavde’s festival began.

* * *

Before Se-un were piles of glittering gold and silver treasures.

All of this was the reward that the lord of Skavde had given to Se-un.

It wasn’t just scraping together the treasures of the inner castle, but things that the residents of Skavde had voluntarily collected to repay their gratitude.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ repeatedly asks if you are really giving these to him.

“If you don’t want them, I’ll just take them. Even if I sell them at the auction house, I’ll get at least several hundred million points.”

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ quickly accepts the offerings you have made.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ hugs the treasures tightly, saying that from now on, these treasures are his and there’s no going back.

Normally, Se-un would have refused Mammon no matter how much she begged, but this time it was different.

As soon as he received the treasures, he first asked Mammon what she thought.

If she was interested, she could take them.

At first, Mammon was flustered by Se-un’s behavior, which was completely different from before, but as the Mammon of Greed, she immediately recovered the treasures.

“I’ll give you a proper reward later.”

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ tilts his head and asks what you mean.

“I know. Not only Leviathan but also Mammon helped me.”

After the battle with the Outers, Se-un could feel a subtle energy remaining in his body.

Even though he had received treatment from Lee Ha-neul and his body had been regenerated by Leviathan, it was a residual energy that had nothing to do with that.

Just in case, Se-un checked the past messages and was able to quickly identify its identity.

[ Supreme Elixir, Elixir ]

[ Treasure of the Desert, Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure (金龍玉血寶) ]

It wasn’t the Authority of Greed that Se-un had used.

It was an elixir that Mammon had bestowed to save Se-un, even at the cost of consuming her divinity.

‘Both are the highest-ranking elixirs.’

The energy of the Elixir quickly healed the wound on Se-un’s abdomen, and even with the remaining power, it raised several of his Stamina stats.

The Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure, although it did not detoxify the poison fused with the Outer, its energy remained in his dantian and increased his resistance to poison several times over.

If he manages this energy well, he may be able to reach the realm of invulnerability to all poisons (萬毒不侵) [immunity to all poisons], where no invasion of any poison is allowed.

As the level of the treasure was high, he could also guess how much divinity Mammon had consumed.

“I will definitely repay your kindness.”

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ turns his head and begins to twirl his hair.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ says that he only kept you alive because there seemed to be a lot to extract in the future and leaves to store the treasures he received.

Se-un smiled as he watched Mammon’s message disappear after cutting off his words.

No matter what anyone said, she was the Constellation who had stepped forward first as soon as Se-un was in danger.

If she could have healed Se-un through possession, she might have stepped forward before Leviathan.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ apologizes to you, saying that he couldn’t stand the terrible smell.

– The Constellation, ‘Sleeping Mountain Goat,’ yawns.

– The Constellation, ‘Night Owl of Darkness,’ smiles.

He wasn’t disappointed that the other Demon Gods hadn’t stepped forward.

Beelzebub didn’t have the power to heal, and he hadn’t built up that much trust with Belphegor or Lilith yet.

After finishing organizing the treasures, Se-un looked at the bustling festival behind him.

“Euhahahaha! Everyone, drink, drink!”

“Ah, Jung-pil oppa [older brother/male friend] is drunk again!”

“Who’s drunk? Brat! Rather, listen to this body’s exploits! See how well I drew attention at the East Gate!”

“Oppa! You just ran away!”

“Running away, you say? It’s luring! Didn’t you see me exchanging blows with that big guy? I lured them in, and that big guy swept them all away! It was perfect, you know?”

“Yeah, right.”

Is it because the residents of Skavde are praising them so much? The atmosphere was quite good.

Then, with the lord’s shout, the Diablo Guild members’ gazes focused on Se-un.

“Woah, hyung-nim [term of respect for older brother/male friend]!”

“Se-un!”

Although he didn’t know how the Tyrant would act, Se-un smiled as he looked at the guild members running towards him.

Anyway, he needed time to recover.

Just for a moment.

Wouldn’t it be okay to rest together for a day or so?

Just as he couldn’t stop everything alone, wouldn’t it be okay to walk together with everyone?

Thinking that way.

“Is everyone here?”

“Of course, hyung-nim! If there’s anyone missing, I’ll go get them right away!”

“Everyone has been waiting since before.”

“We can’t have a party without the main character, can we?”

“Okay, okay. The Master is here, so let’s get started in earnest!”

“Everyone raise your glasses!”

“To Diablo!”

“Cheers!”

Clang-!

The Diablo Guild raised their glasses high.
