Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 536

536. The Gluttony Archipelago

When a sentient being fails to achieve enlightenment and continues to reincarnate, they are born into one of six realms based on their karma: the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Among them, one of the most notorious hells is this place: the realm of the Preta [hungry ghosts in Buddhist cosmology, perpetually tormented by insatiable hunger and thirst].

‘So, the realm of the Preta was Beelzebub’s restaurant?’

Of course, the meaning might be slightly different. After all, the concept of the hellish realm of the Preta and the Demon World where Beelzebub was active are different.

However, the important point here was that Beelzebub seemed to know the location of the realm of the Preta.

“Beelzebub, would you mind guiding me to that restaurant?”

Finding the Eight Great Hells was important, but he couldn’t ignore the existence of the realm of the Preta now that he knew about it.

From the bottom of his heart, Se-un was an explorer.

He had pride as an explorer, traversing all areas of the Tower as a guide for his journey, and his curiosity about places he hadn’t been to was immense.

Above all, he was extremely curious about what kind of rewards he could obtain by conquering one of the Six Paths.

‘Ana didn’t tell me about the rewards, though.’

He had asked Arcana, who had conquered the realm of beasts, about the rewards, but she only brushed it off with a ‘It’s a secret~’.

He wanted to go to the realm of the Preta right away, but Beelzebub’s reaction was completely different from what Se-un had expected.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ is utterly disgusted.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ writhes, recalling the tasteless food that was always served as school lunch.

“……Beelzebub, are there foods you dislike?”

Beelzebub wasn’t a gourmet or a picky eater; he was the Demon God of Gluttony, yet he was showing such a disgusted reaction.

Until ascending to the Demon World, the only food he had refused was Outer Gods, so Se-un couldn’t help but be puzzled.

“But you can eat as much as you want, can’t you? It’s a restaurant, after all.”

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ puffs out air, saying that he can eat even more delicious things through you now without having to go to the restaurant.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ wipes his drool, saying that Demon World food is not great, but it’s a hundred or a thousand times better than the school lunches in the realm of the Preta.

While talking with Beelzebub, Se-un realized.

‘Did I spoil him too much?’

The abilities granted by the power of gluttony were tremendous, and he was a Demon God who was relatively friendly to Se-un, so he had been trying to be considerate as much as possible.

But that seemed to have had a negative impact on Beelzebub.

In other words.

He was full of himself.

“Is that so.”

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ nods.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ exclaims that he’s starting to get hungry, so let’s go find a new meal.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ whispers, suggesting that we leave this Demon World as soon as possible and find fresh ingredients.

The way to handle such Beelzebub was simple.

Se-un had been dealing with Beelzebub since the tutorial.

‘Good thing I kept it.’

Se-un took out a horn he had obtained as a reward from a hidden dungeon in the Demon World.

These finished products had ambiguous performance, so he usually put them up for auction whenever he arrived at a rest stop, but the ones he obtained in the Demon World were stored in his subspace pocket.

Horn.

It was a rather ambiguous finished product, and he wasn’t sure if it would even sell at auction, but it worked out well.

– The Treasure Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Corno da Caccia ]

– A hunting horn that Artemis’s aide blew to announce the start of the goddess’s hunt.

As soon as the power of the relic was imbued in the horn, Se-un put it to his lips and took a deep breath.

Booooooo-!!

The trial of the 77th floor, Magolmak.

The desert began to react to the majestic horn sound that spread through the desolate bone powder desert.

“Gaaaaaaah-”

The Bone Worm, which he had first encountered in Magolmak, rose to its feet.

But this was just the beginning.

“Grrrr!”

Beasts resembling predators ran along the winding horizon of the bone powder.

“Kuaaaa-”

In the vast sky, all sorts of flying monsters approached, including dragons made entirely of bones and creatures that resembled marine life more than birds.

Judging from the vibrations in the ground, numerous monsters seemed to be rushing from within the sand as well.

That wasn’t all.

“To dare blow a horn in Magolmak, are you out of your mind?”

“That one seems to have a pretty high rank. Looks delicious.”

“Get out of here. I’ll take care of that arrogant bastard.”

“Guluk, delicious……”

Demons with ranks came looking for the sound of the horn.

As demons of the 77th floor, all of them possessed high levels.

The number of monsters that gathered easily exceeded one hundred, and it was slowly increasing even at this moment.

This was the ability of the ‘Corno da Caccia’ that Se-un used.

True to the name of hunting horn, it was a sound that announced the start of the hunt.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ cheers.

Se-un immediately began the battle.

Whoosh!

First, he used Hellfire to roast the approaching monsters to a golden brown.

Next, he used lightning magic on the monsters flying in the sky to cook them thoroughly, and he used water magic on the skeleton-type monsters made of bones.

“Are you kidding me!”

“A human dares!”

The approaching demons were the same.

He cut the shark-like demon, who was swimming through the bone powder desert like the sea, into bite-sized pieces, and suffocated the monsters by shooting black smoke with dark magic.

It wasn’t for nothing that the demons mentioned playing around and got angry at Se-un.

To a normal person, it would just look like a slightly unusual battle, but it was different for the ones being attacked and for Beelzebub.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ pours out drool like a waterfall at the splendid feast being prepared before his eyes.

Well-roasted monster barbecue.

Well-fried monster fritters.

Well-sliced monster sashimi.

Well-smoked monster jerky, etc.

Se-un was brilliantly ‘cooking’ the monsters that came looking for the sound of the horn.

– The demon with the rank of 28,995,154, ‘Kanzakatan,’ has been defeated.

– The defeated demon’s rank is transferred to you.

– The demon with the rank of 26,004,712, ‘Den Zabelon,’ has been defeated.

– The defeated demon’s rank is transferred to you.

…….

Of course, taking away the ranks while defeating the demons was a bonus.

“Kie, kie…….”

“A, a monster. A monster!”

“Why was such a monster wearing the number of the Winter 3rd Unit!”

“We have to run away!”

Just because they were monsters or demons didn’t mean they couldn’t feel fear.

They were so ingrained with the law of the jungle that they were obsessed with fighting, but they didn’t recklessly throw away their lives.

The monsters who keenly felt the difference in power in Se-un’s battle tried to run away.

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

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

Thud!

“Cough!”

“Hoo……”

As purple wings sprouted from Se-un’s back, they knelt down as if someone was pressing down on their shoulders.

The power of fear, combined with the power of Turiel, the spirit of fear, was powerful enough to make even the 2nd Unit demons kneel.

And in the meantime.

Sizzle.

Se-un finished cooking brilliantly.

The entire area affected by the sound of the horn had become one huge dining table.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ picks up his utensils.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ opens his mouth wide, saying that he is always ready.

The Demon God of Gluttony, Beelzebub.

Originally, he was someone who valued filling his stomach with quantity rather than quality, but that had changed a bit after meeting Se-un.

Ever since Se-un killed a monster with fire magic during the tutorial and he ate it, he had become obsessed with ‘cooked’ food.

Since then, he had often killed monsters in this way and used the power of gluttony to appease Beelzebub.

“Are you satisfied?”

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ nods vigorously with his mouth open.

As expected, Beelzebub was very satisfied with the feast that Se-un had prepared. It was the first time Se-un had put so much effort into cooking monsters.

With that huge dining table in front of him.

Thump.

Se-un sat down.

With his arms crossed as if he wasn’t going to do anything.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ opens his eyes slightly when food doesn’t come in.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ wants you to use the power of gluttony soon, saying that he is starting to feel dizzy.

To Beelzebub’s urging message, Se-un replied firmly.

“I can’t.”

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ is flustered and drops the fork in his left hand.

The way to handle Beelzebub was simple.

Using food.

Hadn’t it been like that since the tutorial?

Se-un didn’t move, ignoring Beelzebub’s continued messages.

“I won’t use it.”

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ is anxious.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ fidgets, looking at the cooling dishes.

A whip and a carrot using food.

That was the most effective way to handle Beelzebub.

“Grrr……?”

As time passed, monsters that smelled the food began to appear from the outskirts.

They were wary of Se-un but couldn’t pass by the well-cooked food.

Beelzebub became even more impatient as he watched the monsters cautiously taking the food from the outskirts while being wary of Se-un.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ gets angry, saying that some unranked monsters are touching his food.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ begs you.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ looks at you with sparkling eyes, asking what you want.

“Tell me the location of the realm of the Preta.”

This was the only thing Se-un wanted.

However, even in front of this abundant food, Beelzebub couldn’t readily nod.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ grumbles that the food there is really bad.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ clutches his head.

“Then I can’t help it. A flock of eagles is flying over there. Ah, that one looked like it was the most deliciously roasted.”

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ screams.

Beelzebub’s message seemed to be trembling.

This plan was a whip and a carrot.

He had given the whip enough, so it was time to give the carrot.

“If you help me this time, I will cook not only these ordinary ingredients but also the first boss monster we encounter in the most wonderful way possible…….”

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ immediately starts guiding you to the realm of the Preta.

– The Constellation, ‘Gluttonous Prince,’ wants you to put the feast in front of him into his mouth right away.

Beelzebub reacted immediately before Se-un could finish his sentence.

With this, the contract was concluded.

Se-un designated a range and pushed all the monsters in the field into Beelzebub’s mouth, and Beelzebub, with his mouth full of food.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ shakes his head, saying that pig is the shame of the Seven Demon Gods.

Happily told him the direction of the realm of the Preta.
