Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 561

‘A sudden grand assembly of Great Demons, huh.’

Se-un tensed every muscle in his body, raising his vigilance to its maximum.

Nine Great Demons.

Since he had killed Arioch, one of the ten Great Demons, everyone present was a Great Demon.

Clearly stronger than Arioch, whom he had just faced.

‘Why have they gathered?’

He didn’t think Great Demons of the Asura Realm would have any sense of cooperation.

At most, he expected them to move in groups of two or three. But all the Great Demons gathering? What was going on?

‘I can’t handle this alone.’

Se-un glared at the Great Demon in front of him.

He could somehow deal with the others surrounding him.

If he exerted all his power, he could even attempt an eight-to-one fight, though it would be dangerous.

But not that one.

The Great Demon presumed to be ranked first.

The aura emanating from that one far surpassed Se-un’s expectations of a Great Demon’s level.

At least…….

‘On par with the Gluttony Demon Beast, or even stronger.’

The magnitude of the presence felt almost divine.

Conversely, the power itself felt lower than the Gluttony Demon Beast, but if the magnitude was that high, hiding power would be easy.

Se-un quickly grasped the situation.

‘This is impossible.’

Facing the demon in front one-on-one, or the remaining demons eight-on-one.

Both scenarios were already precarious, but facing them all at once was even more impossible.

He had no intention of entrusting his life to recklessness and bravado, so Se-un was about to retreat when.

“Hehe, you can’t do that.”

“You’re trying to run after making us come all the way here?”

A hemispherical barrier made of ice formed around them.

If it were just that, he would have tried to break through somehow, but various forms of barriers layered two and three times around the ice wall.

It wasn’t that Se-un couldn’t break them, but it was enough to tie him down.

Escaping while fighting those nine demons was nearly impossible.

“So, what are you going to do now? Number one. There must be a reason you called us here, right?”

“That’s right. I was having fun with our little rookies. Well, a human who defeated Arioch and Zaratan is interesting enough!”

“You didn’t gather us all just to deal with one human, did you?”

“No way. Surely our great number one isn’t doing this because of one human? If so, I’d take that spot right away.”

“Heh heh, someone who doesn’t even have the skills to do that.”

“Hey, what did you say? Speak up. Don’t mumble.”

“Didn’t you hear? Heh heh. I’ll say it louder. Someone who doesn’t even have the skills.”

“You little…!”

Unable to escape.

Se-un stood still, watching the situation.

It seemed they hadn’t gathered by chance or rushed in out of a sense of competition.

‘That guy…….’

The demon standing in front of Se-un.

For some reason, that one seemed to have summoned all the other Great Demons.

‘Why?’

Were the Great Demons, especially those of the Asura Realm, such a systematic hierarchical group?

No. That couldn’t be.

Even if there were differences in magnitude or power, the very principle of this Asura Realm was to ignore them and charge with swords and spears.

In fact, listening to the Great Demons talk proved that a hierarchical society didn’t exist, as they were constantly snarling at each other.

“…….”

Even amidst all that, the demon in front was still watching Se-un.

With deep eyes, as if lost in thought, without a word.

It was impossible to read his thoughts.

“So, what should we do? Do whatever we want?”

“Are we going to do a coordinated attack on one human? A gathering of Great Demons? The Asura Realm would laugh.”

“Isn’t attacking separately strange too? Should we hold a tournament here?”

“Hehe, that would be fun. If it’s a tournament, the last place should go first. Right, Jatdaedae?”

“Shut up! Well said, why don’t we switch ranks this time?”

Se-un, who had been quietly observing the situation, focused on one word uttered by a Great Demon.

‘A tournament, huh.’

If possible, that would be the best way to overcome the current situation.

And Se-un had the power to make that tournament situation possible.

Swish-

The sandstorm emerged once again from Se-un’s stigmata.

“Huh? That human, he’s doing something?”

“What can he do? No matter how he struggles, it’s impossible for him to escape from here unscathed.”

“But that sandstorm…….”

Fortunately, the Great Demons had arrived after Arioch had fallen.

None of them knew the power of the sandstorm.

Using that gap of carelessness, Se-un first dragged in.

“Kugh, bleh! What are you doing, human!”

“I heard you were called the last place.”

“What? Ha, am I being ignored by a mere human? This is absurd.”

The last place, as learned through the Great Demons’ conversation. That is, the Great Demon of the 9th rank, ‘Jatdaedae’.

Although he was last, it was hard to compare him to Arioch.

Even though Zaratan’s nature made him stronger than other Great Demons, in terms of rank alone, that Great Demon was clearly superior to Zaratan.

In other words, he was one rank above Se-un.

Moreover, he was the Great Demon that Se-un had been trying to find in the first place.

“You must be conceited because you defeated someone like Arioch. I’ll show you what the real power of a Great Demon is, human.”

Slither.

Jatdaedae’s body melted.

That body spread widely over the ground, covering all the ground inside the sandstorm like a lake.

“I am the Great Demon of Waves, Jatdaedae.”

From the small ripples that had been his body, violent waves and waterspouts began to surge.

* * *

“Uh…… Jatdaedae got eaten up?”

“Hahahahaha! I’m dying of laughter. To think that human would start a fight first.”

“I can’t see.”

“Should we clear that away first, since I’m curious?”

The Great Demons attacked the sandstorm with their respective specialties.

Some rushed in head-on, trying to tear the sandstorm apart with their bodies, while others flapped their wings, trying to stop the sandstorm with the same wind.

No matter how powerful the magic, it couldn’t withstand the Great Demons’ determination to tear it apart.

……But it should have.

“Uh?”

“What is this storm?”

“……Strange.”

No Great Demon could tear the sandstorm.

Some Great Demons, their pride wounded, even exerted their full power to dig into the sandstorm, but it was still impossible.

The sandstorm was still intact.

“What the hell?”

“Hey, Kenen. You do it. Isn’t this your specialty?”

“Tch, useless things.”

The Great Demon called Kenen held a staff with demonic eyes gleaming and stood before the sandstorm.

He was the Great Demon who had created the ice barrier first when Se-un had tried to escape, and was known as the Great Demon of Frost.

Although he controlled the cold, his essence was magic.

The most outstanding magician among the Great Demons was him.

“It’s just an illusion created by a human.”

His staff touched the sandstorm.

The eyeballs at the end of the staff wriggled as if alive, emitting intense magical energy. It was to grasp the structure of the sandstorm and break through the magic itself.

However, before long, his expression twisted.

‘The formula is changing?’

The formula was constantly changing.

If the formula stopped even for a second, his excellent brain could grasp it and break through the magic.

The formula of this sandstorm was changing in units of 0.1 seconds. No, in units even smaller than that.

Frankly, at this point, he was questioning whether this was even magic. The sandstorm was avoiding his calculations as if it were alive.

‘Even so, before this body……!’

Crack-

Kenen drew out his magical energy to the fullest and gathered cold energy at the end of his staff, then spewed it out.

The eyeballs of the staff turned chillingly blue, and the sandstorm became frosted over, soon the entire sandstorm froze solid.

“Oh, as expected of Kenen…… um?”

However, Kenen’s expression was not good.

His hands were trembling, and the eyeballs of the staff were also shaking as if in pain, with red veins rising.

His power was pushed to its limit, to the point where the other Great Demons became tense.

Bang!

Eventually, the whites of his eyes turned inside out and the bloodshot pupils burst.

Although it was equipment, his staff was his own body, with circuits connected by his magical energy.

When the eyeballs of such a staff burst, Kenen was bound to be hit as well.

“Kugh…….”

Kenen retreated, spitting out black, dead blood from his mouth.

The staff withered, and the ice that had been freezing the sandstorm disappeared all at once, as if it were a lie.

“Heh heh heh. Kenen, that guy. He was being arrogant, but he’s a sorry sight.”

“What to do since the staff burst? It’ll take quite a while to repair. Shouldn’t you give up your rank?”

Some Great Demons laughed at this, but half of them didn’t.

They knew that Kenen was the best among them in terms of magical elements, even if his overall combat power was lacking.

Kenen, unconcerned with their laughter, turned his head and opened his mouth.

“It’s not magic.”

“Then?”

“That is…… divinity.”

The Great Demons stiffened for a moment at Kenen’s answer.

Even the demons who had been laughing, the demons who had been wearing serious expressions, all of them.

Even the number one Great Demon, who had been expressionless from beginning to end, showed a small but clear reaction.

“No way. How could a human…….”

“Was he an apostle? Even so, to draw out divinity to the point where you couldn’t break it. Did the Constellation [a being of immense power, like a god] go crazy and start handing out divinity?”

“That’s not it.”

“What?”

“That is, that human’s unique divinity.”

“……Then, are you saying that human is going to become a god?”

“Not now.”

The demons’ expressions became even more serious.

Just now, Kenen’s answer meant that even if it wasn’t now, that human could ascend to the seat of a Constellation over time.

Everyone was silent in the serious situation…….

“Hahahahaha!”

One Great Demon, filled with muscles that seemed about to burst, burst into laughter.

As everyone’s eyes focused, he continued in a hearty voice.

“How amusing! A human challenging the seat of a god! The ranking competition had practically stopped since number one came in, but isn’t this a new wind?”

“Calm down. Unless you want to be torn apart like Arioch.”

“Hahaha, are you all scared? The name of the Great Demon of the Asura Realm will cry!”

“What? Scared, who……!”

“Then shouldn’t we welcome it! Number one, you called him, so you won’t stop us from unleashing our full power for the first time in a while, right! I’m looking forward to contracting my muscles for the first time in a while!”

“Yeah, look forward to it as much as you want. He’s just a human after all. Even if Jatdaedae is only 9th, are you saying he can’t catch one human?”

The one who answered that question wasn’t the muscle demon, but Kenen, who was wiping the blood flowing from his mouth.

“What’s clear is that Jatdaedae, who went inside, can’t escape from the sandstorm.”

Everyone’s eyes moved back towards the sandstorm.

“We’ll see. Right, number one?”

Even at that moment, the number one Great Demon was only watching the sandstorm without a word.
