Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 568

“First, I will read aloud the oracle that was given to him once more.”

A cadre [a small group of people specially trained for a particular purpose or profession] at the head table took out a black feather.

He held the feather in reverse and drew lines in the air as if writing with a quill, creating black letters as if ink were spreading in the air.

– A new wing.

– If it intends to fly, accept it; if it intends to crawl, break it.

Even Se-un was seeing Lucifer’s oracle for the first time.

However, even at a glance, its meaning was clear.

‘So, he wants an answer.’

In the mental world, Lucifer urged Se-un to make a decision.

Whether to be on his side or to die.

Se-un postponed the answer, and Lucifer sent the oracle, indicating that he could no longer wait.

“The conclusion of this hearing is twofold. Either accept the new wing or break it.”

The cadre at the head table also understood the oracle accurately.

He crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, as if to say his part was over.

Then, as if waiting for this moment, the cadres began to speak.

“So, the Lord is leaving it up to us whether to accept him or not.”

“You fool. Can’t you still interpret the oracle properly?”

“What? How dare you……”

“If it intends to fly, accept it. We are not given the right to test him. We just need to act according to his decision.”

“That can’t be! The very fact that he gave us the oracle means he entrusted this matter to us!”

“You’re still interpreting the oracle as you please.”

In fact, according to Lucifer’s oracle, the opinions of the cadres didn’t matter.

Whether Se-un joins the Black Wing or not. Everything is determined by his choice.

Naturally, there were not many cadres who understood and accepted this at face value.

A newcomer suddenly appeared, threatening their positions, so they couldn’t just stand by and watch.

“Shouldn’t we first accept him as a trainee and then raise his position based on his performance? However, by increasing the performance ratio to speed up his promotion.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Etein.”

“Are you suggesting we promote someone who doesn’t even know the Black Wing well to a cadre position?”

“Don’t misunderstand. I don’t like the idea of having someone like him sitting next to us either.”

“Then why are you refusing?”

“Etein, have you ever been called a ‘wing’ by Him?”

Sighs were heard around Se-un.

Wing.

Se-un didn’t know the inner workings of the Black Wing in detail, so he just thought it was a term referring to him, but judging from the cadres’ reactions, it seemed that was not the case.

The word ‘wing’ had a greater meaning to the Black Wing.

“We refer to those below us as feathers, but the meaning of the name ‘wing’ to Him is more than we think.”

“……So, the Lord’s oracle means to send him above us?”

“As I said, I don’t like it either.”

What position is higher than a cadre?

There are various ranks in the Black Wing, but there is only one position higher than a cadre.

That is, the guild master.

However, Lucifer would not suddenly appoint Se-un as the guild master.

In other words, that statement meant that Se-un would be appointed as the vice guild master of the Black Wing.

“Even so, vice guild master is too much.”

“Are you suggesting we put an outsider who suddenly rolled in into that position?”

“Isn’t that too much of a leap?”

“Isn’t there another meaning hidden in the oracle? There’s no way He would do that……”

The murmuring grew louder.

Half of them seemed to agree to Se-un’s joining, but after the word ‘vice guild master’ came out, the situation completely changed.

Eighty percent or more. No, more than ninety percent did not acknowledge Se-un.

‘Well, I guess so.’

Well, the same would have been true for the Diablo Guild.

What would happen if Baal or Agares suddenly pointed to a player and told them to make him the vice guild master of Diablo?

No one would accept it.

“Quiet.”

“There must be some misinterpretation.”

“Since he said ‘new wing,’ isn’t he telling us to reorganize a new department? And put him in that position.”

“Whatever the case, we can’t hand over the position of vice guild master to someone like that!”

“Quiet!”

Fwoosh!

With the roar of a cadre, black feathers scattered in all directions, and the commotion subsided for a moment.

It seemed that he was a high-ranking person even among the cadres. When he rose from his seat, the surrounding cadres could no longer speak and held their breath.

“Everyone, let’s keep the order.”

“Order, you say……”

“Shouldn’t we listen to the answer first? Whether he intends to fly in the Black Sky or crawl on the dirt floor.”

“Ha, but if the Lord really intends to accept him as a wing……”

“Enough. It’s not too late to talk about the details after hearing his answer.”

The old cadre rose from his seat and slowly approached Se-un, with a considerable sense of intimidation despite his physique.

‘He’s strong.’

Perhaps, he was in the top tier even among the cadres in this place.

A warning light flashed in Se-un’s mind, who had thought that he could handle the Black Wing’s cadres all at once.

The Black Wing’s cadre.

He thought they were just full of cunning old foxes or scheming raccoons, but he didn’t know that such a tiger was crouching down.

“Now, young man. Answer me.”

He came closer to Se-un.

His liver-spotted face was overflowing with an unknown sense of intimidation.

Looking around, even the other cadres were clenching their fists tightly and stiffening their bodies to withstand his intimidation.

“Do you want to fly, or do you want to crawl?”

Everyone held their breath and looked at Se-un.

If Se-un really became the wing of the Black Wing according to Lucifer’s will, the power structure of the Black Wing itself could be reversed with just one answer from Se-un.

Someone would be desperately scheming to belittle Se-un, and someone would be considering going under Se-un if they couldn’t resist.

A continuing silence.

In that suffocating silence, what Se-un uttered was neither affirmation nor denial.

“Rather than soaring as a chicken’s wing instead of a phoenix, it seems better to become an Imoogi [a mythical Korean dragon] and command the ground.”

“……What do you mean?”

“If the wings you mentioned were phoenix wings, I would have nodded, but no matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem to be that level.”

Se-un’s attitude was consistent.

Even when the feathers of the Black Wing came to him, even now that he had entered the Black Wing’s headquarters with Lucifer’s urging and even an oracle, he had no intention of joining a place weaker than himself.

That was the attitude that Se-un was outwardly maintaining.

Of course, the cadres of the Black Wing could not accept this story well.

“Are we to understand that you compared our Black Wing to a chicken coop?”

“Maybe. Ben and Jen…… and, was it Zailen? They didn’t look like Suri [a type of eagle] to me at all.”

“This bastard!”

Several cadres who couldn’t stand it rose from their seats.

One of them even jumped out of his seat and lunged towards Se-un.

“How dare you compare the Black Wing to a chicken coop? Your spirit has soared to the clouds because you were chosen by Him!”

The cadres friendly to Se-un disappeared.

Everyone in this place revealed their hostile feelings towards Se-un and seemed ready to draw their weapons at any moment.

If this hearing ends like this, not only Se-un but also the Diablo Guild and the herald who brought Se-un here would be harmed.

A crisis situation that seemed about to explode at any moment.

In the midst of that, the old cadre, who had been only observing the situation since he first revealed the oracle, struck the table.

Thump!

Silence came again.

Among the cadres who had stopped moving as if by a lie, the old cadre went to the front of the table.

“Has it been decided?”

“Heh heh, a good idea came to mind.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a very sure way to soothe the hearts of those great cadres and show the young man the qualifications he wants.”

The old man turned around and looked at Se-un.

Thump.

When he struck the floor with the cane he was holding, the surrounding chairs disappeared without a trace. What remained was an empty room.

No, it was such a wide place that it was doubtful whether this was really the inside of the castle that Se-un had seen.

“That is, to show our strength.”

“Are you suggesting a fight?”

“That’s right. It’s good for the young man to be able to confirm our qualifications, and our cadres will be able to correct the young man’s manners as they wish. Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”

“It’s a contradiction.”

The cadre at the head table hardened his expression.

Contradiction.

As he said, the old man’s proposal seemed good for each other, but it didn’t make sense.

He said he would correct his manners, but would those cadres show mercy to Se-un?

Absolutely not.

They would deliberately kill Se-un in order to trample on Se-un, who might shake their positions and the power structure of the Black Wing.

“Proving the qualifications means that the wing designated by the Lord will die.”

In fact, there was one more possibility.

If Se-un wins.

In that case, the Black Wing would admit that they were the ‘chicken coop’ that Se-un said, due to this battle.

Then, they might have to bow their heads and guide him to the guild master.

However, no one in this place was considering Se-un’s victory.

“Good.”

“……Foolish.”

“Instead, if I win, you will definitely acknowledge my level and I can meet your guild master, right?”

“I, Hexen, promise in the name of the table, representing the cadres of the Black Wing.”

The cadre at the head table, who had been worried that Lucifer’s oracle might be misinterpreted at first, no longer sided with Se-un.

As his name was at stake, the cadres who were listening to the conversation began to surround Se-un one by one.

“Heh heh, it’s too late to back down since Hexen’s name is at stake. Young man.”

“You must keep your promise.”

The first to step forward in front of Se-un was a huge man.

Clearly, he was the man who glared at Se-un as if to kill him, mentioning the names of Ben and Jen when this hearing first started.

“I will hold you accountable for dropping the feathers I cherished.”

Flap.

Black wings unfolded from behind the man.

As if to prove that not all wings of the Black Wing are the same, his wings were so thick with muscles that it was difficult to call them wings.

To the Black Wing, wings are like their true power.

Seeing the man coming out in full force from the start without being soft, Se-un also made the sacred power shine crimson.

Then, their feet landed at the same time, and their weapons clashed against each other.

Slash.

“Deke is…….”

Se-un, holding Durandal without a single wound on his body.

In contrast, a man with one of his black wings cut off.

“Now, it seems to be at a level where it’s embarrassing to even call it a chicken coop.”

In an instant, several cadres of the Black Wing rushed towards Se-un at the same time.
