Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 576

Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 576

“Brin Jarr?”

“This is a pleasant surprise! I heard you entered Plaka, but I didn’t expect you to find your way to the Demon God’s Blood so quickly!”

Brin Jarr approached Se-un with a hearty laugh as soon as they made eye contact.

Anyone would think Se-un was a friend of decades.

Naturally, this was only their second meeting, so Se-un found it a bit overwhelming.

“Heh heh, you two know each other? Then you can introduce him to the Demon God’s Blood. I need to go rest now.”

“It’s been a while; aren’t you going to soak for a bit?”

“That guy over there drained all my energy these past few days. Can’t you see? I’m nothing but skin and bones. I’m going to close up shop for a month and just crash.”

Hidro’s body melted away again, disappearing through the cracks.

Thus, Se-un and Brin Jarr were left alone.

“To be recognized by Hidro, you’re amazing!”

“Is this being recognized?”

“Being brought to the Demon God’s Blood is recognition in itself. I was only recently recognized by Hidro and introduced to the Demon God’s Blood!”

He laughed and extended his hand to Se-un.

Seeing him offering a handshake, Se-un recalled his first encounter with Brin Jarr.

‘Is this another test?’

When he first met him at the auction house, Brin Jarr had squeezed his hand to test Se-un’s strength.

It was a crude method, but Brin Jarr had acknowledged Se-un with that simple gesture.

And this time was no different.

Squeeze.

As soon as he grabbed his hand, an immense pressure was felt.

Naturally, Se-un didn’t back down and tightened his grip as well.

“Oh!”

He first encountered him at the auction house in Lilac, the sixth Shelter.

In contrast, Se-un was now in Plaka, the ninth Shelter, having reached the same floor as Brin Jarr.

In their first meeting, he had used internal energy, mana, and the power of 狂亂 [Rage/ Frenzy] to withstand his strength.

“Amazing! Even though you’ve reached Plaka, it hasn’t been that long, yet you’ve become so strong!”

But not now.

Se-un’s strength had risen to be on par with Brin Jarr’s.

“You were already amazing when you freely controlled your power! To have raised your pure strength to this level! Truly astonishing!”

“…Did you know?”

“Haha, my eyes aren’t that dim! Now, come in quickly!”

Fortunately, the power struggle didn’t last long.

It seemed Brin Jarr hadn’t given his all either.

Sizzle!

As soon as he immersed himself in the Demon God’s Blood, dark red smoke billowed from the point of contact.

Indeed, it was no ordinary bath.

Originally, with Hidro gone, he would have examined the dangers of the bath more closely, but he couldn’t afford to be underestimated in front of the leader of the alliance guild, Valhalla.

Sizzle!

As soon as he put his leg into the Demon God’s Blood, the same dark red smoke rose as with Brin Jarr.

However, he didn’t feel the expected pain. It was just a comfortable feeling, like soaking in warm water.

“Haha, isn’t it strange? When I first came in, I wondered what it was. To think that the final gateway after enduring such painful baths would be a warm bath.”

“Are you saying it’s just a normal warm bath?”

“Of course not! The effects will appear soon, so soak your body thoroughly.”

Honestly, he was disappointed.

Even after fully immersing himself, he didn’t feel any special power.

The warm water was comforting, but Se-un hadn’t come all the way here just to enjoy a warm bath.

“I’ve heard the news. You defeated Black Wing as soon as you came to Plaka. Indeed, our Thor’s foresight was correct. Haha!”

“Has word spread? I thought Black Wing would try to hide that fact as much as possible.”

“Even if they hide it, this is Plaka. How many guilds are there in Plaka? You’d have to be blind not to know. Valhalla has that many eyes and ears.”

Black Wing’s location was thoroughly hidden.

Didn’t Se-un have his senses blocked when he first moved to Black Wing’s base?

Harry was only able to follow Se-un because he immediately tracked him on Se-un’s orders; if he had been even a little late, he would have lost track of Se-un’s presence.

To know Black Wing’s location and even find out the results of the battle…

In the mundane world, Valhalla was simply described as a battle-crazed group, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case.

“The information doesn’t stop there.”

“What else is there?”

“There was talk that Black Wing would accept you as the next vice guild master. This fight was also because of that.”

Brin Jarr’s eyes sharpened instantly.

Indeed, his presence as a ranker in the Tower was formidable.

However, no matter how high-ranking he was, he didn’t feel too heavy to Se-un, who had already endured the presence of the Constellations [powerful, god-like beings].

“Is that true?”

Black Wing was generally considered an enemy of all guilds.

Black Wing, a group of fanatics who blindly followed Lucifer.

They had been carrying out all sorts of unethical acts in Shelters and Trials, solely for their own goals, to fulfill Lucifer’s oracles [divine commands or prophecies].

Assassinating someone in a Trial or attacking residents in a Shelter to cause strife, and so on.

In Plaka, no, from Lilac, the lowest Shelter where their branch existed, Black Wing’s reputation was not good.

If Se-un were to join such a Black Wing as a vice guild master, Brin Jarr wouldn’t stand idly by.

“For reference, this is a place where the Constellations’ gaze doesn’t reach.”

Se-un unknowingly raised his head.

He had clearly entered through a crack in the rock, but no matter how much he looked around, he couldn’t see any cracks.

Moreover, as if to prove his words, no messages from any Constellations had appeared since entering this place.

At this, Se-un suddenly picked up Durendal, which he had hung before entering the bath, and said.

“I should probably change my weapon soon, but what should I do with Durendal?”

“Hmm? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“…It seems the Constellations’ gaze really doesn’t reach this place.”

“Hmm?”

Even though he mentioned 고민 [worries/concerns] about what to do with Durendal, which Mammon usually coveted, there was no reaction. It was certain that the Constellations’ gaze was blocked.

If Mammon couldn’t see, then Lucifer wouldn’t be able to see either.

Se-un sat back down in the Demon God’s Blood, pondered for a moment, and then calmly gave his answer.

“It’s a diversion.”

“A diversion?”

“To meet the Guild Master of Black Wings.”

“The Guild Master of Black Wings? Isn’t that someone who hasn’t shown their face for quite some time? You’re not planning on joining Black Wings, but you’re looking for him, which means you’re planning to destroy the head of Black Wings?”

“I have a bigger goal than that, but it’s true that I plan to destroy Black Wings.”

This is an irreversible condition.

Even before Se-un disliked Black Wings, the promise he made when he contracted with Leviathan was to destroy the forces of Black Wings.

He said it like this, but can Brinn Jarr really believe Se-un’s words?

Even if he only seems good-natured, he is still a Guild Master, so he won’t be able to make a decision lightly.

…Or so he thought.

“Euhahahahahaha!”

This was Se-un’s miscalculation.

Brinn Jarr believed him more than Se-un thought he would.

His attraction. The Constellation’s choice. Se-un’s answer.

“I knew it!”

“…Do you believe me?”

“Of course! No matter what anyone says, you are a comrade chosen by our Valhalla!”

Brinn Jarr patted Se-un on the back and burst into laughter.

Se-un, who was trying to persuade him to maintain his relationship with Valhalla, was so taken aback by his generous reaction that he even relaxed.

“Don’t be too upset that I doubted you! Even though I look like this, as the leader of a guild, I have to ask about the direction of the allied guild, right?”

“I understand.”

“I liked you from the start. I’ve gained a very trustworthy ally! Thor’s words are never wrong!”

It’s not that he doesn’t think. It seems like he relies too much on his gut feeling, but should I say he has a good eye for people?

Of course, Se-un himself couldn’t think that way.

“Good! I think I can make a suggestion to you!”

“A suggestion?”

“It might be too early for you, who just entered Plaka.”

He hadn’t heard it yet, but Se-un could roughly guess what kind of suggestion Brinn Jarr would make.

If Se-un’s memory is correct, at this time, the Valhalla Guild was preparing to move to the next shelter.

“How about attacking the 90th floor trial with our Valhalla Guild?”

The difficulty of the trials on the 80th floor is truly monstrous.

Among them, the 90th floor trial, which is the final gateway to move to the next shelter, is especially difficult.

It’s not for nothing that there is only one guild made up of players in the tenth shelter.

‘It’s hard to see them as players there, though.’

In any case, it wasn’t a bad suggestion for Se-un.

Valhalla is one of the largest guilds that has already adapted to the ninth shelter, and in terms of simple force, it is in the top ranks.

‘If it’s the 90th floor trial, it’s hard for me to attack it comfortably. Besides, if I think about the guild members…’

No matter how he thought about it, it wasn’t a bad suggestion.

Se-un, who had finished thinking, nodded calmly.

“I knew you’d say that! I’ve gained a reliable ally.”

“I look forward to working with you.”

“Haha, more than that, it seems like it’s starting.”

“Yes?”

Starting?

Se-un tilted his head.

He was soaking in the Demon God’s Blood, but so far, he hadn’t felt anything other than the warm warmth. But what on earth was starting?

Thinking that, Se-un lowered his head and looked at his body, and couldn’t help but be surprised.

“My skin……”

Skin dyed dark red like the color of the Demon God’s Blood.

Although it wasn’t visible to the eye, when he concentrated, he could feel the Demon God’s Blood penetrating beyond the skin, into the muscles and bones.

Why hadn’t he noticed until now?

He didn’t know if it was because he was aware of it, but immediately, terrible pain began to rush in.

“Demon God’s Blood is like the essence of the Demon Realm. It’s a little different from Demonic energy. It’s more accurate to call it a pure energy component.”

“Keuk……”

“As such, it’s not easy to absorb this power. When I first soaked my body in it, it took half a day for my skin to start turning dark red. On the other hand, you……”

Brinn Jarr said that it took half a day for his body to turn dark red. On the other hand, Se-un had been soaking in the Demon God’s Blood for less than an hour.

In that short time talking to Brinn Jarr, the Demon God’s Blood was penetrating not only his entire body, but also his bones.

The energy inside his body felt like it was about to explode due to the pure power surging from within.

“It seems like you have a very good compatibility with the Demon God’s Blood.”

The pain wasn’t just felt in his body.

The Demon God’s Blood had invaded his brain, and the tingling sensation spreading from the crown of his head to his entire body made him feel dizzy.

“Endure it. It will be a more difficult trial than the previous ninety-nine baths, but if you overcome it, you will be able to gain even greater power.”

Se-un could no longer hear Brinn Jarr’s voice.

He couldn’t think of anything because of the Demon God’s Blood that was invading his entire body, dyeing his skin and nails, as well as his hair and pupils, dark red.

It wasn’t a level that could be endured just by having a strong mental strength.

‘It’s dangerous.’

In the moment of desperately holding on to his mind, Se-un instinctively grabbed Durendal.

And he shone the Saint Marks fiercely and manifested the Authority of Greed without even thinking, and chose the Noble Phantasm he had thought of in preparation for a possible situation.

– The Treasury of Greed has been opened.

[ King’s Protection, Avalon ]

– The scabbard of Excalibur, known to have the power to prevent the wielder from being harmed. Merlin taught King Arthur that the scabbard, Avalon, was ten times more important than Excalibur.

The beautiful scabbard decorated with gold and jewels wrapped around Durendal.

Along with that.

– You have soaked in the Demon God’s Blood.

– Your entire body is being eroded by the Demon God’s Blood.

– Resistance to poison increases.

– Bone density increases.

– Fire resistance increases.

……

The Demon God’s Blood began to 본격적으로 [in earnest] erode Se-un’s body.
