I Plundered the Demon God’s Treasury – Episode 555
The sword enhanced with the Authority of Greed and the doppelganger created with the Authority of Lust.
The 8th Circle wind and fire magic manifested by activating Infinity Circle.
And even the sword technique swung with the full understanding of the mysteries of the Supreme Divinity Art.
Seun’s most powerful strike tore through Zaratan’s body.
“Kuaaaaaah!!”
Was it because his trachea was burning?
Zaratan’s scream felt much rougher and drier than before.
Seun, avoiding the flames surging back with the scream, grabbed Kang Han-cheol, who was holding Zaratan’s mouth, and pulled him out.
Kwaruruk!
Seeing flames spewing from his mouth, it looked as if Zaratan was spitting out fire.
Everyone could see it was a powerful blow, and those holding Zaratan’s legs tried to relax, but Seun stopped them.
“It’s not over yet.”
You could tell just by the screams.
If he had really suffered an irreparable blow, he wouldn’t even be able to scream like that.
Harry, understanding Seun’s words, immediately spread the news around, and soon a reaction occurred in Zaratan’s body.
“Zaratan’s body is turning red!”
“W-What should we do! Should we keep holding onto his legs like this?”
Although submerged in the red sea, Zaratan’s skin color was close to green.
That skin was turning redder than the Demon Sea.
And his blood vessels were swelling as if they would burst at any moment.
It looked as if each of those blood vessels was filled with the flames Seun had unleashed.
Everyone was flustered and didn’t know what to do, but they desperately held onto his legs, waiting for Seun’s command, but that didn’t last long.
“Kuaaaaaah!!”
Puwhaat!
Cheeeeeek-!
The seawater Zaratan’s feet were submerged in bubbled and boiled, then exploded, scattering hot waves everywhere.
Starting with that, he began to spew red steam, and people could no longer hold onto Zaratan’s legs.
“Ugh!”
“It’s hot!”
“Master! We can’t hold on any longer!”
Did Zaratan absorb Seun’s attack?
Or was this an anomaly caused by his outstanding durability resisting the flames filling his insides?
Seun couldn’t easily guess, but the important thing was that Zaratan was still alive.
‘But I still inflicted a critical wound.’
The surroundings were filled with steam, obscuring the view.
Because of that, Zaratan’s form wasn’t clearly visible, but Seun saw it just before the steam filled the area.
Zaratan’s body was collapsing due to the internal flames.
‘If so.’
Seun took out Apelion from the Panacea and threw it with all his might.
Apelion pierced more than half way into Zaratan’s skin, which was difficult to even scratch with Durandal properly swung.
Even though it was a javelin throw with insufficient power due to having poured all his strength into the previous attack.
This meant that Zaratan’s defense had weakened that much.
Seun issued new instructions to the guild.
“All-out attack.”
The steam wasn’t just obscuring the view.
The noise caused by the boiling sea and spewing steam filled the sea, blocking even the transmission of information.
And then, Seun’s stigmata emitted an orange light.
– A roar of fury echoes across Satan’s battlefield.
“……Master?”
Diablo and the Azure Sea guild members, who were fleeing from the scorching Demon Sea water and red steam, stopped and looked at Seun.
Even in a situation where the view was blocked by steam and even sound was not heard, everyone could clearly understand.
The action Seun wanted.
The strategy the commander wanted.
The declaration of an all-out attack signaling victory.
“Attack!”
“We’ll focus on long-range attacks as much as possible!”
“About two people can block the steam for you.”
“I trust you!”
Everyone turned around and took up their weapons.
The steam still blocked the view, but everyone wielded their weapons without giving up.
Zaratan’s legs, which had been difficult to even hold onto, let alone wound, just a moment ago.
Thwack!
Kwaduk.
“It’s working!”
“The attacks are going through!”
They were easily cut and broken like tofu by people’s attacks.
“Kuaaaaaah!”
Zaratan groaned even louder.
The demonic beasts parasitizing his body also realized the dangerous situation and bared their claws more fiercely to protect Zaratan.
Meanwhile, Seun, who had finished preparing for the next attack, opened his eyes and gripped his sword tightly.
– You fall into the clutches of Sloth.
– Temporarily restores all power within the body.
– Temporarily amplifies all power within the body.
The Authority of Sloth.
A power that he refrained from using as much as possible because the aftereffects were so severe once used, but now he was certain.
The certainty that he could finish off Zaratan with the final blow, and the certainty that there were people who would protect him even if the aftereffects struck.
With that certainty in his grasp, Seun swung his sword with all his might.
– The sword that split the rock, Durandal, unleashes the energy of the sun dormant in ‘Galatine’.
– The blessing of noon is reproduced through ‘Galatine’.
The monster of the Demon Sea, which seemed like it would never fall, the place that was more often called the ‘moving island’ rather than by the name Zaratan, was swallowed by the brilliant sunlight and reduced its shadow.
* * *
“Zaratan… is falling.”
Koogung.
Puwhaaaaat-!
The form of Zaratan, whose flesh was all soft and whose skin was charred black, collapsed.
Thanks to that, a huge wave spread in all directions, but fortunately, the heat had subsided, so there was no need to worry about burns.
Rather, it felt like taking a shower, with the appropriately warm water washing away the sweat.
“Haha, to actually defeat Zaratan. I can’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes.”
“Zenon, you need to prepare for taming.”
“Yes, I know. But, shouldn’t I go to Diablo’s master before that? Considering the contribution, all of Zaratan’s byproducts are practically his share.”
Zenon doesn’t know much about Zaratan’s offspring.
He wanted to dig into Zaratan’s insides right away to find the offspring, but he headed towards Zaratan’s head, where Seun was.
He thought he had turned his steps quite quickly, but most of the Diablo guild members, including Lee Haneul, had already arrived at the destination.
“Haneul, how is it? Seun….”
“It’s the aftereffects we saw last time. He’ll wake up soon if he just rests. Rather, his internal circulation is better than last time, so I think he’ll wake up even sooner.”
“Is he okay elsewhere?”
“There are some symptoms of overload as much as he exerted great power, but they’ll all heal if he just rests. I’ve finished prescribing, so you don’t have to worry.”
Lee Haneul was in charge of the full-scale treatment, and the other members were on guard in preparation for any additional attacks.
In particular, Kang Han-cheol, standing in the center with his huge bulk and arms crossed, was so reliable.
‘To defeat Zaratan and only have those aftereffects.’
He didn’t watch Seun’s battle closely because he was busy tying up his legs, but he could imagine how difficult the fight would have been.
No matter how much it was Seun, he thought he would be quite injured since the opponent was Zaratan, but to the eye, he was only slightly scorched by the fire.
If someone who didn’t know the situation saw it, they would ask if he just collapsed from exhaustion.
“Uwaaaah! Hyungnim [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend], that’s too much!”
“Shh. Seun is resting.”
“No, I’m serious, it was no joke! I finished my mission up there and was standing coolly, but suddenly the forest all burned down! If I had been any later, I would have died with that thing!”
“Han-cheol.”
“Shut up, Park Jeong-pil.”
“Eup! Eueup! Eubeubeub!”
The situation calmed down a bit, and Zenon became a little anxious.
He came to ask Seun for permission regarding Zaratan’s offspring, but the person in question was unconscious.
Yoo Seo-ah, aware of such Zenon, took her eyes off Seun for the first time and approached Zenon, opening her mouth.
“Zenon, what are you doing here? Didn’t you say you had something to do?”
“Ah, I came to ask for permission. I recommended hunting Zaratan, but in terms of contribution and rank, the priority is with Diablo’s master.”
“Yes? No, go quickly. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“But….”
“Seun is that kind of person. He’d rather get angry if you waste time asking for permission and fail to achieve your goal.”
Zenon had Yoo Seo-ah’s permission, but he couldn’t easily take a step.
No matter what, he felt uneasy about moving to gain only his own benefit in a situation where the person in question was collapsed.
Yoo Seo-ah, realizing that, pointed to the carapace of the fallen Zaratan.
“Look over there.”
“Yes?”
“There, the grandfather holding a pickaxe. Do you see him?”
“Ah, yes. I see him.”
On top of Zaratan’s carapace, an old man was wielding a pickaxe as big as himself.
He was removing the soot stuck to the shell, digging deep into the outer shell, and finding the deeply hidden dark green carapace of the core.
“Hoo, this is it. With this much, I can definitely create equipment that is known for its durability.”
– Constellation, ‘The Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown’ twinkles his eyes.
– Constellation, ‘The Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown’ nods, saying it’s definitely an excellent material.
– Constellation, ‘The Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown’ is troubled, saying that the carapace is difficult to use for weapons.
The old man was faithfully mining materials from Zaratan, fulfilling his role.
“Grandfather was also worried about Seun, but Seun had asked him from before. Don’t be swayed by emotions and miss what you have to do.”
“……I understand.”
Zenon nodded and moved his steps.
Over a hundred members of the Azure Sea Guild began to clean up Zaratan’s body and search for the existence of the offspring.
The flesh, which had been so hard, was melting due to the heat, making it easy to remove. However, Zaratan was so huge that the search was not easy.
“Please.”
Ppuuuu-
The White Whale spewed seawater to remove the flesh, and other monsters tamed by Zenon also joined forces to remove Zaratan’s flesh.
And after a while.
Heave.
Was it led by fate?
Even though so many people were searching, a sign of life was felt in the area Zenon was searching.
Shwaaaaaa-
The White Whale spewed a stream of water, and the form of the baby Zaratan was revealed.
It hasn’t even opened its eyes yet, but even as a baby, its size is as big as a small building.
– Constellation, ‘The Storm of the Ocean’ shows interest.
– Constellation, ‘The Storm of the Ocean’ did not have high expectations for a demonic beast, but nods, saying that this being does not contain any demonic energy at all.
– Constellation, ‘The Storm of the Ocean’ advises that it seems that it grew up like this because of the environment of the Demon Realm, and its appearance will change depending on the growing environment and method.
Zenon placed his hand on the turtle’s head.
Indeed, Zaratan.
Even with his power to tame the White Whale, it was not easy to tame.
Wuuuung-
Poseidon showed interest and began to engrave Poseidon’s symbol next to Zaratan’s neck as he sent down divinity.
The Zaratan, who slowly opened his eyes, made a feeble sound as he faced his master for the first time.
“Let’s go together. Zaratan. To a world wider than the Demon Sea, wider than the Demon Realm.”
“Guuuuuu-”
Zenon thought.
If he followed Seun, he would surely be able to climb to the highest point in the Tower.
