Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 554

Zaratan, not Se-un, surprisingly made the first move.

A wide-open mouth. From within the gaping throat, a torrent of crimson Demonic Sea water erupted.

KWA-AAAA!

The overwhelming water pressure.

The force of the water pressure, narrowly missing Se-un, was enough to pierce through one of the islands of the archipelago, creating a wind tunnel.

‘An acidic breath, huh.’

Moreover, it wasn’t just ordinary seawater.

Seawater that had been acidified inside Zaratan’s belly.

Even a splash of the scattered droplets was enough to melt armor and skin due to the acidity.

‘It’s a fast attack for its size, but not impossible to dodge.’

Thanks to Turiq’s wings, avoiding the breath itself wasn’t difficult. The problem was the acidic droplets spraying everywhere.

– According to the mysteries of the Yellow Tower, ‘Wide Shield’ becomes more robust.

That, too, was blocked by the barrier Se-un had erected.

He didn’t want to waste mana on such trivial attacks, so he deliberately used a lower-circle defense magic instead of an 8th circle one to block the droplets.

Se-un folded his wings and descended rapidly towards Zaratan’s head.

“Guu-”

Turtles are generally known for their slowness. However, in reality, watching a turtle hunt reveals a different story.

The moment it hunts, a turtle extends its head more swiftly than any other hunter, snapping at its prey.

And that was the same for Zaratan.

KWAAJIK!

“Fast.”

Zaratan snapped its mouth shut, extending its neck so quickly that it left afterimages.

Even though Se-un rotated his body to dodge as soon as he detected the movement, a few purple feathers were caught in its beak.

As Se-un dodged, Zaratan also turned its head to follow Se-un’s movement.

“But, if I dodge properly, its weakness will be exposed.”

Zaratan’s huge pupils were visible right next to Se-un. The turtle’s characteristic bulging pupils rolled, staring at Se-un.

Without hesitation, Se-un swung Durandal at those eyes.

GA-GA-GAK!

In that brief moment, Zaratan’s eyes closed.

Even so, the eyelids should be softer than other skin, yet Durandal only managed to leave a scratch on the eyelid.

However, Se-un didn’t care and rotated his body once more, swinging his sword again.

Precisely at the scratch he had just created.

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Assault, is enhanced.

SWOOSH.

The scratch widened significantly, and Zaratan’s blood splattered for the first time.

He was about to rotate his body in quick succession to continue with the next form, but Se-un had to stop his attack and dodge due to the presence he felt from behind.

“Guuooo-”

The vine-like things growing on its shell lashed out like whips.

He tried to ignite the vines with magic, but they were soaked with seawater and didn’t burn easily.

“Master! How long do you think it will take?”

“…It’s going to take a while at this rate.”

“I’m holding on as much as I can, but it’s thrashing more and more violently. I’m sorry to say this, but it doesn’t seem like we have much time.”

Harry informed him of the situation.

Se-un also wanted to finish quickly, but after exchanging a few blows with Zaratan, he realized.

It would be difficult to defeat that guy quickly.

‘It’s impossible outside.’

Even considering all the options he could use right now, such as the Authority of Greed, the Authority of Lust, and the Authority of Sloth, he couldn’t imagine defeating it.

Aside from its shell, its skin was just as tough.

If he did his best, he could inflict a serious injury, but that would be it.

If it were seriously injured, Se-un would be exhausted, and Zaratan would also sense its survival instinct and try to escape from its position by any means possible.

Even in the Demonic Realm, the survival instinct is the most important instinct for a living being.

‘If only I could get inside somehow.’

Based on his experience so far, and just by looking at the direction the Journey’s Compass was pointing, Zaratan’s weakness was its insides.

If he could directly strike from the inside, he could inflict a proper critical hit in one go.

“Guoooooo-”

Just in time, Zaratan’s mouth was approaching, aiming for Se-un.

Se-un quickly tried to enter its mouth, even deceiving Zaratan’s eyes with magic.

After all, Zaratan didn’t have teeth.

Once he passed that huge beak, it would be over.

There were sharp tentacles inside its mouth, but he thought he could get past them, so he moved, but Se-un had to stop urgently.

KKAANG!!

Zaratan’s beak closed in front of him, and Durandal got caught.

It didn’t break, but the tingling shock was felt all the way to Se-un’s wrist, which was holding the sword.

If he had been even a little late, his body would have been cut in half by Zaratan’s beak.

‘Fast.’

Incredibly fast.

Moreover, Zaratan seemed to have noticed Se-un’s intentions and didn’t open its mouth easily after that.

“Guoooooo-!”

Zaratan roared once more.

Even approaching its mouth was difficult due to the wind pressure during the roar.

And this time, it wasn’t just a simple roar, but an attack.

With Zaratan’s roar, the surrounding sea rippled, and a tsunami began to spread in all directions.

“Damn it……”

“Yuji! Don’t lose your grip on its legs!”

“Just a little more!”

As those holding onto Zaratan’s legs struggled, the tsunami crashed down on Se-un, preventing him from approaching.

Above all, the crimson Demonic Sea water completely blocked Se-un’s vision, and in the meantime.

PHUWAT!

– According to the mysteries of the Yellow Tower, ‘Great Shield’ becomes more robust.

Zaratan’s breath flew towards him.

If he hadn’t felt the danger as soon as his vision was obscured and cast the magic in advance, he would have been caught off guard.

‘It’s going to be a bit ambiguous even if an opportunity comes at this rate.’

Se-un wasn’t just standing idly by.

Honestly, he was anxious, but if his prediction was correct, there would be one chance coming soon.

At that moment, he needed Zaratan to be opening its mouth or to make it open its mouth, but it was a bit ambiguous to seize the opportunity alone.

Then.

“What are you doing?”

KWAAANG!!

With an enormous shockwave, Zaratan’s head was lifted high.

Kang Han-cheol, with his head covered in alligator skin, flashed his eyes at Se-un as he extended his fist.

“The legs?”

“Arcana is taking care of them instead.”

It was as if she had read Se-un’s plan.

Should he call her Arcana after all?

She had more experience with the Tower than anyone else in the Diablo Guild, and she had already conquered the Demonic Sea, so it would have been easier for her to predict.

“Good timing.”

It was almost time.

Se-un nodded, checking the guild chat.

“Push it.”

“I will.”

PAANG!

Se-un and Kang Han-cheol pushed Zaratan.

Zaratan, as if unaffected even after being hit directly by Kang Han-cheol’s attack, lowered its head and began to counterattack again.

The seawater that gushed out like a waterfall from the gaps in its shell and the thick vines like tree trunks lashed out like snakes, hindering them.

Zaratan no longer opened its mouth, but just swinging its head like a blunt weapon was threatening enough.

‘Soon…….’

However, if they continued to fight a war of attrition like this, Zaratan would be at an advantage.

He had to constantly consume internal energy and mana to fight that monster, so if he ran out of strength, there was a high possibility that he wouldn’t be able to land a proper blow.

And finally, the signal was heard.

“Hyungniiiiiim!!”

Above Zaratan’s shell. No, even higher than that.

A familiar voice was heard from the giant tree that had taken root on Zaratan’s entire back and soared high into the sky.

‘The Carapace Tree. The place where the hidden dungeon is located on Zaratan’s back.’

As he said, Se-un before the regression had conquered the hidden dungeon on Zaratan’s back.

It was a dungeon that no one else had conquered, but Se-un had finally reached the end of that dungeon and found the ‘core’ at the end of the hidden dungeon.

‘The core of the Carapace Tree.’

Literally the core of that giant tree.

Since there were no other suitable rewards around except for that, Se-un carefully tore off the core.

And he was able to discover that anomaly.

“I’m tearing it off!”

The roots of the Carapace Tree were spread all over Zaratan’s shell, and even the fine roots penetrated the shell and were attached to Zaratan’s body.

It was like a kind of parasitic tree.

When the core of such a Carapace Tree was torn off, it would contract all its fibers to protect itself.

THUD.

“Guu–”

Zaratan’s body stiffened as if its entire body was momentarily paralyzed.

Se-un before the regression thought that it was a consideration to buy time to steal the core and escape, but this time the usage was completely different.

“Kang Han-cheol, open it!”

“Got it.”

Kang Han-cheol immediately jumped up and clung to Zaratan’s head.

Then, as if he had predicted this situation, he put his hands between Zaratan’s beak, which was tightly closed, and exerted his superhuman strength.

DRDDDEUK!

– The constellation, ‘Old Man Riding the Devil,’ laughs maniacally, telling you to tear apart the turtle’s mouth.

Zaratan’s mouth slowly opened.

In the meantime, Se-un prepares for the next attack.

– The Treasury of Greed has been opened.

[ Blessing of the Sun, Galatine ]

– The sword used by Sir Gawain, the great knight of the sun, who was a member of the Round Table [legendary knights in Arthurian legend] and praised as the leader of the Knights.

The Authority of Greed dwells in Durandal.

Under the influence of Galatine, dazzling sunlight flowed from the hazy sky of the Demonic Sea.

– The Amniotic Sac of Lust covers you.

– The Amniotic Sac of Lust divides.

The clone created with the Authority of Lust raised its sword in the same pose as Se-un.

However, the energy surging from that sword was completely different.

Hellfire, summoning the flames of hell. And Despair of Wind, summoning the winds of despair to sweep away all enemies.

Each fire and wind magic was contained in the sword.

In the meantime.

JJEEOEOK!

Kang Han-cheol opens Zaratan’s mouth with pure muscle strength alone.

Zaratan, which has a crushing force strong enough to crush mountains.

Moreover, right now, the muscles were forcibly contracted by the fine roots of the Carapace Tree, so the mouth would have been locked with tremendous force, but Kang Han-cheol tore them all apart with only strength.

“Thanks.”

He passed by Kang Han-cheol, who was slightly shaking his arms as if he was struggling, and entered Zaratan’s mouth.

There were so many gruesome sharp tentacles inside its mouth, but they were all tightly contracted by the fine roots of the Carapace Tree.

Se-un calmly took his final stance on top of them, and soon swung the Sword of the Sun with his clone.

– According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Hellfire’ is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Green Tower, the speed of ‘Hellfire’ is increased.

…….

– According to the mysteries of the White Tower, the elemental power of ‘Hellfire’ increases.

– Numerous mysteries combine to manifest the Infinity Circle.

– The two magics are fused by the Infinity Circle to unleash even more powerful performance.

And so, through Zaratan’s throat.

KWAA-RREUREUREUK!!
