Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 566

After Nephilim was absorbed into the key, Seun managed to squeeze out every last bit of power before Sloth’s Authority ended, successfully returning to the Demon King’s castle.

As the first-ranked in the Asura Realm, he possessed a slight ability to interfere with the system, enough to end the trial immediately, but he chose not to.

“Seun, please.”

“Are you sure you’re okay with this?”

“Yes. If we ascend with your help like this, everyone won’t grow properly.”

“……I suppose not.”

“Besides, you want to return to the Shelter in top condition, right? Please rest well until we finish up.”

“Thank you.”

Thanks to Yoo Seo-ah’s suggestion, he was able to rest completely.

And after some time.

As if it were natural, messages from the Demon Gods appeared before Seun, who had opened his eyes after resting.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ is furious that the connection was cut off again.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ is rising from its seat, saying it will formally protest to the management office about why this only happens to you so often.

– The Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ is satisfied, saying that the food is still coming in normally.

– The Constellation, ‘The Sleeping Ibex,’ is puzzled by the situation where even its dreams are blocked.

…….

It seemed Nephilim’s words about avoiding the Constellations’ surveillance were true.

This time, not only Mammon but also Belphegor and other Demon Gods were curious about why their connection with him was cut off, so he wondered if he should explain the reason.

‘It’s better to keep Nephilim and Lemegeton a secret.’

Lemegeton is no ordinary treasure.

A grimoire [a textbook of magic] containing contracts with gods and demons, capable of wielding their power.

He didn’t have contracts with the Demon Gods, so it wouldn’t be a threat to them, but the Seven Archdemons aren’t the only ones watching Seun.

The Seventy-Two Demon Kings were also likely watching Seun, so he couldn’t mention Lemegeton, which contained contracts with them.

‘Lemegeton wasn’t in Mammon’s vault either.’

Thinking that, Seun casually dismissed the Demon Gods’ messages and went outside.

The Demon King’s castle was located in the center of the Asura Realm.

He expected to hear the sounds of clashing swords and spears at any moment, but.

‘Why is it so quiet?’

There was no particular noise coming from the surroundings.

Before he could move to find out the reason, Yoo Seo-ah, who somehow knew Seun had woken up, quickly ran towards him from afar.

“Seun! How are you feeling? Are you okay?”

“Thanks to you. More importantly, where are the others?”

“They’re all resting. We just finished cleaning up.”

“……Finished?”

“I’ll show you. Please come this way!”

She led him up the walls of the Demon King’s castle.

There, along with the collapsed catapults, the twin sisters were lying haphazardly, waving at Seun.

“Blood Wolf Oppa…….”

“Hehe…….”

Instead of their usual energetic selves, they closed their eyes as if they had fainted.

And beyond the castle walls.

“It felt like all the demons in the Asura Realm had gathered, you know?”

“……Maybe they did.”

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The corpses of demons piled up to form mountains, and the blood flowing from their bodies became a sea.

So many corpses that it was impossible to count.

He couldn’t even guess how long they had been fighting.

“Areum and Da-un’s Seun Demon King’s castle was a great help. We could never have done this without it.”

“Even so, to this extent…….”

“Honestly, I was horrified when the demons’ corpses piled up and covered the front of the castle walls, turning them into stairs, you know?”

“Wasn’t that a really dangerous situation?”

“No, it was an opportunity. Baekhyun came.”

“……Corpse explosion.”

“Yes. The power was so strong that the walls of the Demon King’s castle almost flew away. Areum and Da-un were confident, but they were sweating bullets when the explosion occurred.”

“Then these corpses are…….”

“Yes, these are the corpses that have piled up again after the corpse explosion.”

Even just what he could see right now was impossible to estimate.

He asked how many days they had been fighting, but Yoo Seo-ah hid her fatigue with a smile instead of answering.

“There won’t be any attacks for a while, so I think we can rest a bit and then go up.”

“I guess so. Let’s get some proper rest when we go up this time.”

“Yes, I’m looking forward to it. I wish it was a place like Elheim, but…… I guess not, huh?”

“It’s not exactly a place you’d call good for resting.”

The ninth Shelter, the Black Earth ‘Plaka’.

As you can expect from the trials up to the 80th floor, Plaka is a nexus of the Demon Realm.

You can’t expect the vitality of Elheim, and the residents are a mix of demons and devils, mostly rough individuals.

Seun was already familiar with it since he had been there before, but it would be quite difficult for others to adapt to the Shelter.

“There’s not much left now. Already the ninth Shelter. You said you’ve been to the tenth Shelter, right?”

“Yeah. The 92nd floor was the last one. It’s hard to say that passing the 91st floor was due to skill, though.”

“I’m looking forward to it. A place you couldn’t climb. Will we be able to see you flustered then?”

“Were you expecting that?”

“I wanted to see it at least once. Is that not allowed?”

“……That’s up to you.”

A floor that Seun couldn’t climb. Seun didn’t know what was beyond the 93rd floor.

There was a guide for the journey, but they wouldn’t be able to climb straight up without any obstacles like they had been doing.

But, it didn’t matter.

He felt like he could climb the 93rd floor, the 94th floor, and even the 99th floor without any problems now.

The biggest problem was the 100th floor of the Tower.

And the eleventh Shelter.

‘No, I don’t even know if it’s a Shelter.’

An unknown place that no one in the Tower has ever reached.

There was one thing he could guess, but that alone wasn’t enough to be sure about the place.

Fortunately, the climbing speed was quite fast compared to before the regression, so there was still some time left until the Divine-Demonic War, right?

“Isn’t that Kang Han-cheol over there?”

Seun pointed outside the castle walls.

One man standing tall among the corpses of monsters.

Covered in monster blood, arms crossed, head bowed, and not moving at all, looking like he was dead.

“Yes, that’s right. Ms. Ana helped, but he almost single-handedly blocked this side. He fainted standing up as soon as the battle ended.”

“Typical Kang Han-cheol.”

“Right? But Park Jeong-pil went and poured potions on his wounds.”

“Park Jeong-pil? Where is he?”

“He ran around here and there and played a big role. He kept running around until almost the end and then went to rest.”

“Unexpected.”

“Impressive, right? He’s scared, but he does what he has to do.”

Seun had various conversations with Yoo Seo-ah like that.

She must have been tired from taking care of the guild until the end while defeating the monsters of the Asura Realm, but she didn’t stop talking as if it was okay to rest a little later.

Just in case, Seun even used healing magic on her directly.

Even after some time had passed, there were no signs of more monsters coming, as she had said, so they decided to go inside the castle.

“Ah, the next Shelter…… Is there anything we should be careful about when we go to Plaka?”

A question came on the way back.

Several things to be careful about in Plaka came to Seun’s mind, but most of them were things that he would become familiar with through direct experience.

Even though Plaka is in the Demon Realm, a Shelter is still a Shelter. In the end, it’s a place where people live.

However, there was one fact she needed to be aware of.

“Probably…….”

* * *

– You have successfully completed the trial of the 80th floor, ‘Asura Realm’.

– Calculating contribution points…….

– Hidden quest ‘Great Demon’ completed.

– Hidden quest ‘Lord of Asura Realm’ completed.

…….

– Total accumulated contribution points: 10,000,000 points

– Congratulations! You have passed the trial of the 80th floor as the 1st ranked.

– Acquired 100,000 points as a reward.

– You have reigned as the 1st in the hierarchy in the trial of the 80th floor.

– Acquired 100,000,000 points as a reward.

The contribution points received after completing the 80th floor were more than Seun had expected.

Not a hidden trial, but acquiring ten million points for simply passing the 80th floor.

On top of that, the contribution points he received as the 1st ranked were a whopping one hundred million points, just like what he had received in the Ghoul Realm.

‘I don’t have to worry about contribution points for a while.’

He needed to visit the auction house when he reached the next Shelter, and he needed a lot of contribution points to use Plaka’s unique facilities.

At this rate, he could give it to the guild members as shared contribution points and still have plenty left over.

‘And the core thing I got in the Asura Realm wasn’t contribution points anyway.’

Seun touched the small key in his pocket. No, Ars Goetia.

The key, which had completely changed in color and texture from before.

The will of Nephilim, who was the 1st ranked in the Asura Realm, was imbued in it, but he still didn’t feel his will.

While feeling the surprisingly rough texture, the appearance of the next Shelter finally emerged.

– Welcome to the ninth Shelter, the Black Earth ‘Plaka’.

“This is…….”

“It’s desolate, just like I heard.”

“It’s completely different from Elheim, isn’t it?”

“It doesn’t seem like a place I’d want to stay long…….”

As the name Black Earth suggests, the ninth Shelter was covered in black soil on all sides.

The buildings were also black, as if they were built only with black soil without any special materials, and the people passing by were also covered in black robes.

He could feel glances from under the hoods as he walked down the street, but the atmosphere was mostly one of ignoring them.

Judging from their reactions, he could tell that there weren’t many players in the ninth Shelter.

‘The number of players who have arrived here is only a little over a thousand.’

The Shelters he had visited so far had a higher proportion of players than residents.

Conversely, from Plaka onwards, the proportion of residents was higher.

He had to keep this in mind when living in Plaka. Of course, the Diablo Guild was aware of this in advance.

“We should find accommodation first, right?”

“Can’t we just build it ourselves? If we have land, I’m confident we can make it before sunset!”

“It doesn’t seem like there are any landowners here. Can’t we just build it outside over there?”

“I’m in favor!”

“But the land here looks too bad. I don’t think these buildings were built with this soil for no reason, right?”

“Is that so? Then maybe we should think about it a little more…….”

“Let’s find an inn for now.”

“Okay!”

“We’ll find out as soon as possible!”

Seun organized the guild members’ opinions and moved forward.

The residents’ reactions weren’t exactly welcoming, but they still answered his questions well, so he was able to find out the location of the inn quickly.

As he moved forward.

“Master.”

“Yeah.”

Diablo’s movements stopped.

Aware of the sudden change in atmosphere, he looked around and saw that the residents were no longer visible.

Black feathers falling in between. No, feathers.

Dozens of feathers fell softly, as if a flock of crows had flown overhead, and looked up at Seun.

Seun immediately recognized their identities.

“……Black Wings.”

“The Black Wings invite you.”

Unlike the friendly word ‘invite,’ a sharp dagger rushed towards Seun’s neck.
