Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 557

I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 557

The Trial of the 79th Floor: the Demonic Sea.

Even though it might seem limited, being a vast sea, this place offered the most possibilities among all the trials in the Demon Realm.

“Wow, the entire foundation here is made of this stone!”

“I need to mine a ton of this!”

“I wish I could take an entire island!”

– The Constellation, ‘The Great Bird,’ is pleased, watching its contractor, saying the stone here is worth it.

– The Constellation, ‘The Black Bird,’ is disappointed, asking if there’s nothing sharper.

The Demonic Sea was home to numerous islands.

Some were desolate, filled only with demonic beasts, but others, like the one the twin sisters were on, were rich in valuable materials.

In particular, the Demonic Sea had the most hidden dungeons in the Demon Realm, so most Diablo Guild members had found one or two.

“You really came?”

“Is that the one?”

“Yes, it looks like there are many valuable medicinal ingredients, but we couldn’t collect them because of that thing. I’m sorry, but it seemed too difficult to handle alone.”

“I’ll take care of it.”

Lee Haneul waved happily as Seun landed, folding his purple wings.

As soon as Seun arrived, he drew Durandal [a legendary sword] and mercilessly swung it at the demonic beast she pointed to.

Swoosh.

A single strike.

The demonic beast, the island’s master, fell, its body split in two with a single attack.

“If there had been many smaller monsters, I could have done something. I’m sorry, you must be busy.”

“No. I have to repay you for the treatment.”

“Now that I see it, that demonic beast’s tail can also be used as a medicinal ingredient, right? You can look forward to even better potions next time.”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Seun spread his wings.

Harry approached him, reciting the next schedule like a secretary.

“The closest support request is from Cheonghae. Is that alright with you?”

“Of course.”

Seun no longer favored Diablo over Cheonghae.

Of course, he would naturally lean towards his own in important situations, but in non-urgent situations, he intended to help everyone as equally as possible.

Even though they hadn’t been together from the start, Cheonghae was now as much a part of Diablo as anyone else.

For Zenon’s sake, the Cheonghae Guild members had also actively participated in the Zaratan hunt.

“What about Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol?”

“It seems they entered the last Palhan Hell [one of the eight hells in Buddhist cosmology], but we haven’t heard from them yet.”

“…They’ll be fine.”

“Of course. But Master, may I ask why you’re taking a detour this time?”

Harry wasn’t just following Seun to act as a secretary.

He was following Seun, who could be considered a senior in the field of exploration, to learn his movements and direction.

So Seun kindly explained the reason.

“If we go directly, we’d have to pass that island, right?”

“Yes. But if we conquer that one island, we can move on immediately, can’t we? On the other hand, if we detour, we’ll have to go through three islands.”

“It’s not just the number of islands, look at the size.”

“The size… the one we’d go to directly is incomparably larger. But even if it’s larger, isn’t it closer in terms of distance?”

“If we could go straight there, yes. But you must have felt it too, right? What kind of trials are usually on such large islands?”

“…I see.”

Harry nodded, understanding Seun’s words.

Small islands had straightforward and simple trials, like defeating the monster that seemed to be the island’s master, while large islands were different.

They mostly had time-consuming and annoying trials, such as finding various treasures or hidden monsters.

He could ignore the trials and fly, but Seun, who had many places to go, didn’t want to waste his stamina unnecessarily.

“My thinking was too short-sighted.”

“It depends on the situation. If you were alone, it would have been faster to move through the large island.”

“It would have taken me longer to conquer three boss monsters.”

“I’m not looking down on you. It’s just that people have different strengths.”

Seun could fully understand Harry’s situation.

Specifically, there were differences in the Journey’s Guide and Ose’s Authority, but Harry’s approach was similar to the daily life of an explorer that Seun had experienced before his regression.

As expected, the small islands on the detour route all had straightforward trials of defeating boss monsters.

Thanks to that, even though it was a bit of a detour, they were able to move forward without any obstacles and quickly reach the Cheonghae Guild.

“The Master of Diablo has arrived!”

“Thank you! We have limitations in our search…”

“What’s going on?”

With Seun’s help, the Diablo and Cheonghae Guilds were gradually conquering the Demonic Sea.

* * *

Quite some time had passed.

In the first place, the Demonic Sea was so vast that it took a long time just to move around.

“Master, you’ve worked hard.”

“You too.”

Still, they had finished what they had set out to do.

They had resolved all the support requests from Diablo and Cheonghae, and most of the members had returned to their residences or were spending time in the trials, looking around to see if anything was left.

“Shouldn’t we go back too?”

At Harry’s words, Seun pondered for a moment.

Clearly, everything was done.

Seun had achieved an unbelievable ranking of 10th on the 79th floor, and he had resolved all the people’s support requests.

Even so, the reason Seun hesitated was, of course, because of Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol.

“You don’t have to worry about them. You know better than I do that they are strong people.”

“I know.”

He knew.

He knew, but somehow his feet wouldn’t easily move.

Even if he used the Journey’s Guide, he couldn’t find the location of Palhan Hell because it was a place Seun couldn’t enter in the first place.

‘Should I go?’

As Harry said, he could trust them.

Just like they had always done, they would appear as if nothing had happened if he rested at the residence.

He knew that, but today, for some reason, his feet wouldn’t move.

Harry knew that too, and silently stayed by Seun’s side, waiting for his decision.

In the meantime.

Kugugugu-

Something unusual happened on the island to the right. Even though it was quite a distance away, the tremors could be felt here.

“Let’s go see.”

“Yes, Master.”

The two exchanged glances and quickly moved.

Originally, they would have steadily passed through the trials to save energy, but this time they instinctively felt that it wasn’t the time to do so.

Even if it consumed energy, they quickly moved to the place where the anomaly had occurred, breaking through the interference of the system and the demonic beasts.

‘Cold air.’

The closer they got to the island, the more intense the chilling air became.

He hadn’t even arrived at the island yet, but the cold air was this strong.

Even Turik’s wings, which were made of spirit energy and unaffected by most phenomena, were gradually accumulating frost.

It wasn’t like Seun knew all the islands on the 79th floor, but he had never found an island with such strong cold air.

And Seun had a guess as to the identity of this anomaly.

‘Palhan Hell.’

The eighth Palhan Hell, Mahāpadma Hell [the lotus hell].

That place that Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol had challenged was connected to that island.

The anomaly was too unusual to say that they had normally conquered Palhan Hell.

“Master, the island…”

Due to the cold air, the island was frozen solid, becoming a frigid zone.

Snow piled up thickly all over the island, the hill in the center became an iceberg, and the mild climate changed into a harsh blizzard.

Even the sea around the island was frozen.

As expected.

Kwaaaang-!!

The center of the island.

To be precise, a huge explosion echoed from the top of the iceberg that had newly formed in the center of the island.

The blizzard rippled once, and an avalanche spread throughout the island.

‘A monster?’

The first thought that came to mind was that a boss monster had escaped from Palhan Hell.

“Master, beyond this…”

The cold air had become so severe that Harry could no longer move forward.

So Seun left Harry behind and jumped onto the island alone.

The cold air was so severe that even Seun had a hard time enduring it, but it wasn’t unbearable.

He drew his sword in advance in preparation for a possible battle, but Seun soon had to put his sword back.

The energy felt from the top of the iceberg was too familiar.

“…Yoo Seo-ah, Kang Han-cheol?”

It wasn’t directly visible as if the dimension was cut off, but it was definitely their energy.

It was faint as if blocked by iron bars, but there was no way Seun could mistake their energy.

The choice here was whether to interfere there or not.

And the answer came from an unexpected place.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ shakes its head.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ asserts that interfering now would only be a hindrance.

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

– The Constellation, ‘Night Owl of the Dark,’ smiles, saying that children originally grow up fighting.

The Demon Gods all unanimously opposed Seun’s interference.

He didn’t know why they understood this situation, but anyway, since the cause of this situation was Palhan Hell, Seun stopped moving, thinking that there might be a connection with the Demon Gods.

Kwaaaang!!

In the meantime, the impact was constantly felt from the dimension beyond the iceberg.

In between, the cold air continued to spread, freezing the sea, and soon the surrounding islands began to freeze.

‘What on earth…’

Then suddenly, he felt another energy besides Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol from within.

It was an energy he felt for the first time, but somehow it felt familiar, two energies.

It wasn’t as much as when he faced Satan, but it was an equally powerful energy.

‘Could it be…’

Two Constellations naturally came to Seun’s mind.

The Demon King ranked 1st and the Grand Duke of Hell, ‘Baal’.

The Demon King ranked 2nd and the Archduke of Hell, ‘Agares’.

‘Surely, there were things similar to scriptures in Palhan Hell too.’

Seun recalled the two seals that Yoo Seo-ah had shown him at the residence.

Just as eight torn scriptures gathered to lead to the Temple of Wrath, could it be that those seals also gathered eight to lead to the two Demon Kings?

Seun’s worries didn’t last long.

The explosion that had been heard from the other side gradually subsided.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ doesn’t understand the actions of the two Demon Kings, saying that their temperaments are terrible.

– The Constellation, ‘Sleeping Mountain Goat,’ asks what you would do if someone told you that they had the ultimate treasure.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ asserts that he will thoroughly trample such ridiculous bluster with his treasure.

– The Constellation, ‘Sleeping Mountain Goat,’ shrugs his shoulders, saying, “See?”

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ tilts his head.

Sss-.

The ice wall that had been separating the two dimensions collapsed, and two figures fell through the gap.

Seun spread his wings and shook off the frost.

Thanks to being prepared in advance, he was able to quickly catch them even in the blizzard.

“Ah… Seun.”

“…”

Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol. Their condition was serious even at a glance.

Their whole bodies were blue, no, red, with frostbite.

The skin that had burst due to the cold, and the blood from the wounds caused by the fierce battle just now, were also frozen solid.

Seun guessed what had happened above through the wounds.

“Did you two fight?”

“They said it was a trial…”

“We just had a slightly intense sparring match.”

Seun’s prediction was correct.

They had met the two Demon Kings through the eight seals and were ordered to fight each other as a trial.

Seun carefully laid them down on the floor and prepared healing magic, asking.

“The result?”

“That’s…”

“It was a draw.”

“The match was decided at the end, but both of our bodies were stiff, so we didn’t fall. In the end… we couldn’t distinguish the winner and loser and it ended.”

– The Constellation, ‘The Spider Wearing a Crown,’ reveals its venom, saying that anyone can see that its contractor won.

– The Constellation, ‘Old Man Riding an Alligator,’ is dumbfounded, saying, “Are you blind?”

Seun had a hard time enduring the cold air, but they had passed through all of Palhan Hell, and even had a sparring match.

Even at the last moment, their bodies were stiff and their strength was gone, but they couldn’t fall.

It was truly an incredible obsession.

“The result?”

At Seun’s last question, Yoo Seo-ah smiled with difficulty with her frozen face.

“We both received… rewards for winning.”

– The Constellation, ‘The Spider Wearing a Crown,’ bestows mercy on Agares, telling him to think that he received a draw thanks to the cold air.

– The Constellation, ‘Old Man Riding an Alligator,’ roars violently, saying, “Who are you to say that?”

– The Constellation, ‘The Spider Wearing a Crown,’ declares that its contractor is closer to victory anyway, so it will give a reasonable reward.

– The Constellation, ‘Old Man Riding an Alligator,’ presents a reasonable reward to its contractor, who achieved a perfect victory, calling it a cowardly excuse.

The pride of the two Demon Kings that even the system allowed.

With the ‘rewards’ given in that way, Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol’s stigmata shone more intensely than ever before.

“Good job.”

As Seun placed his hand on Yoo Seo-ah’s frosty head, she forgot even the cold air and fell into a happy slumber.
