Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 572

Even though they were combat-incapacitated, all the Black Wings were still alive.

From the start, Se-un’s goal was to meet the guild master of the Black Wings.

Since the entire Diablo guild had joined forces, they could have annihilated the Black Wings, but he didn’t know what Lucifer might do if they did.

‘Because he’s that dangerous.’

First, it was important to meet the Black Wings’ guild master and find out their goal.

After that, if he dealt with the guild master, the Black Wings would naturally disintegrate.

If the Black Wings didn’t disappear even after the guild master fell, he could just return to Plaka and destroy them.

– The constellation, ‘Snake that covets the Season,’ licks its tongue in disappointment.

There was nothing he could do even if Leviathan was disappointed.

Without even having time to talk with her after a long time, Se-un began a one-on-one meeting with Naphta, an elder and one of the Black Wings’ executives.

“Hehe, don’t feel uncomfortable. Would you like some tea?”

“No, let’s get straight to the point.”

“You’re in a hurry. Well, that’s why you came straight up here without resting.”

He had nothing to say to the old man, but Se-un was acting like this mostly because of the Authority of Sloth.

It had been a long time since that power had disappeared.

He felt like he was about to collapse from the aftereffects, but he had been waiting for this moment, so he was barely holding on.

Fortunately, thanks to the elixir Lee Ha-neul made with Arune’s petals, or perhaps because he had gotten used to it, he was able to endure the aftereffects.

“You want to meet our guild master?”

“Yes.”

“You won’t answer his oracle [a divine communication or revelation]?”

“As I said, I’ll decide on that answer after seeing your guild master.”

“You must know who he is. To try to postpone answering him, you must have a lot of guts. Hehe.”

For a moment, his head spun, but he focused on regaining his senses.

Even as he did, the old man continued to speak.

“Well, the guild master will be able to look down on you. It will be a good experience to hit the ceiling.”

“Enough, what’s the answer?”

“Oh, dear. I said let’s get to the point. I’m sorry. Think of it as an old man’s rambling. I don’t have enough people to talk to comfortably here. Oh, and…”

The old man gave a gentle smile, gazed at Se-un, and continued.

“You don’t have to be so tense.”

“What?”

“Isn’t it the aftereffects? Perhaps, it’s the aftereffects of your body being fully recovered, no, amplified, when you fought the Guardian Dragon.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m not so blind that I can’t even notice that. And I’ve recognized you from the beginning. Don’t worry, I don’t intend to harm you even if you faint right now.”

The old man completely saw through Se-un’s condition.

He was amazed that he was able to create a Guardian Dragon by manipulating divinity even though he looked like a player, and he was no ordinary person.

However, Se-un didn’t believe his words. Instead, he focused even more and continued to speak.

“Stop talking nonsense and get to the point. Or are you trying to stall for time?”

“Hehe, I’m sorry. I got a breath of fresh air after a long time, so my heart was pounding.”

“The answer?”

“Alright. I’ll tell you the guild master’s location. No, I’ll guide you.”

“Guide me?”

“It’ll be someone familiar. He seems to like you quite a bit. He’s never shown interest in anyone except the guild master.”

Judging from his tone, he seemed to know about the conversation the herald had with Se-un.

She wouldn’t have reported that far to the old man.

‘Did they put a tail on the herald too?’

No, that’s unlikely.

Even though she’s a herald, she’s strong enough to arrive in Plaka with dignity. She’s not so unskilled that she wouldn’t notice a tail even after reaching the 80th floor.

The more they talked, the more suspicious the old man’s identity became.

“I understand.”

Se-un got up from his seat.

Since his business was finished, there was no reason to stay here any longer.

As he turned around, wanting to rest immediately, the old man’s voice grabbed Se-un’s attention.

“Can I ask you something?”

“…What is it?”

The old man’s voice, which had been so relaxed, changed slightly.

A voice that was endlessly serious and calm.

He couldn’t ignore the serious voice that made him stop walking.

“If our Black Wing’s only wing is weaker than you, what are you going to do?”

It was a question that a Black Wings executive shouldn’t even utter. It was something they shouldn’t even think about.

To assume that the Black Wings’ guild master, the only wing recognized by Lucifer, would lose.

Se-un answered without turning away from the old man.

“I’ll have to aim for the next thing.”

If you break the wings, the next is the body.

No, the heart.

What Se-un was looking at was not the old man, but above him.

– The constellation, ‘Falling Wing,’ laughs at you.

It was the place where Lucifer, the Demon God of Pride, would be watching.

* * *

Thud.

Se-un, who had entered the accommodation that Diablo had secured in advance, collapsed onto the bed before even explaining the situation to the guild members.

Even though Se-un was strong, the opponents were none other than the Black Wings executives.

They couldn’t be considered complete because the guild master wasn’t there, but they were all especially outstanding among the players who had passed the trials of the 80th floor.

‘The last Guardian Dragon was especially dangerous.’

The dragon created with Lucifer’s divinity was powerful.

If he hadn’t appropriately taken out the sacred treasure, Ascalon, it might have been really dangerous even if he used the Authority of Sloth.

Besides, at the end.

If he had used the Authority of Sloth and faced all the Black Wings’ feathers alone without Diablo’s help at the point where the limits of his power had become clear?

Even if he had managed to defeat them all, he might have fainted from exhaustion.

‘But in the end, I achieved what I wanted.’

The bed was cozy.

The accommodation was entirely rented by the Diablo guild, so there was no need to worry about safety.

How long had he fallen into a deep sleep?

As night came and the room was filled with darkness, Se-un picked up Durandal, which had been leaning against the bed, instead of sleep-talking.

“Do I have to hold a sword? I’m not an enemy anymore.”

“Since you’re not an enemy, you could have come normally now, right?”

“It’s like a habit. Can I sit here?”

The person who could break through Diablo’s defenses and enter through the window at this late hour was obvious.

The Black Wings’ herald.

She was also called the Black Feather.

“I haven’t answered yet.”

“What does it matter? We’re on the same side now.”

“Didn’t you hear me clearly? I haven’t joined the Black Wings yet.”

“I was formally ordered by the master to guide you. Even if we’re not in the same organization, can’t we be considered as the same team?”

She picked up the fruit on the table as if it were her own home.

Se-un sighed softly and sat on the bed, still holding Durandal in his hand.

“So, what floor is your guild master on?”

“You’re still in a hurry.”

“This is the only thing I have to talk about with you.”

“Well, me too. To answer you first, he’s on the 86th floor right now.”

“The 86th floor…”

Se-un recalled the structure of the tower.

The trial of the 86th floor.

He tried to remember if there was something hidden there, but he couldn’t think of anything that Lucifer would have ordered him to find.

“The master is following his oracle and looking for something.”

“What is he looking for?”

“I don’t know either. Not only me, but even the Black Wings executives don’t know. The only person he has recognized as a wing is the master.”

“Since when has he been looking?”

“It’s been a long time. There was even a rumor that the reason the Black Wings were created in the first place was because of that.”

Lucifer’s purpose.

What could a Demon God like him gain from the tower?

What on earth is hidden in the tower that he would present such a grandiose goal of dominating the tower and try to win Se-un over?

It might be the starting point of the Divine-Demonic War, but he couldn’t guess at all.

“I understand.”

“When are you going to depart? Right away? I’m ready.”

“I’m postponing the departure.”

“Yes? Why? You were climbing the tower so urgently.”

Se-un shook his head.

If that goal was indeed the starting point of the Divine-Demonic War, then there was still a lot of time left until the Black Wings’ guild master found it.

Since he said he was currently searching the 86th floor, if he calculated the timing, wouldn’t that goal be hidden around the 88th floor?

Since he had plenty of time, it was more important to build up his strength in Plaka first.

Besides.

‘I have to find the Outer too.’

As he had seen in the shelters he had passed by so far, there was a high possibility that there was an Outer here as well.

He had some rough guesses, but he needed time to confirm them.

He would probably have to stay in Plaka for at least a few months.

“That’s a shame. I’ve already finished preparing to leave.”

She got up from her seat.

She seemed to be about to leave after finishing what she had to say.

However, this time, Se-un’s question grabbed her attention.

“Why are you being so cooperative with me?”

“Why? As you heard, I was ordered to take you to the master…”

“Stop with the obvious lies.”

“…”

The Black Wings’ old man giving the order was secondary.

She had been cooperative with Se-un almost from the beginning.

It wasn’t like that from the first meeting, but from some point on, she went beyond just following Se-un’s words and tried to be helpful on her own.

Even now, she had a comfortable atmosphere with Se-un.

“The master…”

She leaned her body against the window and answered.

In a voice that had become a bit gloomy for some reason.

“He’s overdoing it.”

“What is he overdoing?”

“After his oracle was given, he hasn’t even stopped by the shelter and is obsessed with the trials, looking for something. Without even resting.”

The Black Wings’ guild master.

He was someone that even Se-un before his regression hadn’t encountered.

That’s why he didn’t know the details, but this one thing was clear.

‘He hasn’t stopped by the shelter for at least a few years and is wandering around the trials.’

He’s strong.

He’s also incredibly strong.

The trials from the 81st floor onwards are not only vast but also extremely dangerous.

To be wandering around such places without resting.

It was something that even Se-un found difficult to imagine.

“He’s following his oracle, even sacrificing his own life. At this rate… it’s dangerous.”

Se-un looked into her eyes.

He couldn’t see any lies. She really cared about the Black Wings’ guild master.

She didn’t seem to have a deep relationship with the guild master like a regular guild member, but he didn’t intend to ask for details.

“Please help the master. Whether you find it together or defeat the master and make him give up on it.”

After pondering for a moment, Se-un nodded.

It wasn’t so much that he was trying to grant her request, but rather because it was the path Se-un had been thinking of anyway.

There was no need to make an enemy of her here, and it was enough to know that the reason she was cooperating with him wasn’t for negative reasons.

“I will.”

As Se-un nodded, she also let go of her serious atmosphere and smiled slightly.

“Oh, if you need anything, please tell me anything. Even if I don’t know anything else, I’ll know more about Plaka than anyone else.”

“Then I’ll ask you for a favor.”

“…I thought you would refuse. What is it? I can’t even imagine you asking for something.”

Now that he had entered Plaka, there were many things to do.

If she was the Black Wings’ herald and strong enough to break through Diablo’s defenses and come to Se-un, she would be helpful enough.

“Information gathering. And I’d like to ask you to do some searching.”

“What is it? You don’t have to collect and search, I know everything about Plaka.”

At that confident answer, Se-un told her his target.

Things that were suspected to have an Outer [an entity or force from beyond the known world].

The blind spots of Plaka that even Se-un before his regression couldn’t find or approach.

Her expression crumpled at the things she heard.

“…Are you crazy?”
