Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 590

I Plundered the Demon God’s Vault – Episode 590

The white flames filling the 81st floor were Holy Fire.

As the angel said, it was a sacred fire that burned away sins.

But did that mean this fire wouldn’t harm living beings?

That was not the case.

“Ugh, aaaaaah! It’s hot!”

“Hahaha! Let’s all meet again inside the Tower of Babel!”

The heat from the Holy Fire was real.

The pain of skin burning and the heat reaching deep into the lungs with every breath.

Fortunately, there were narrow, maze-like paths between the flames, so everyone moved to where the fire was weaker, but even then, they couldn’t completely avoid it.

“Kuaaaaak!”

Unavoidable flames?

Was this not a trial but a guaranteed death?

“Skel! Water, quickly!”

Splash!

In the meantime, Zenon, the guild leader of the Azure Sea Guild, quickly activated his authority.

The entrance to a subspace opened, and the White Whale shot out water from within.

Zenon, who had even created puddles on the Skave Desert, seemed to think he could extinguish the flames in an instant.

However.

“Kugh! Why!”

The fire did not go out.

The Holy Fire blazed even more fiercely, easily ignoring the White Whale’s water stream.

As everyone panicked, there were those in the Diablo Guild who quickly regained their senses from the start.

For example, Kang Cheol and Yoo Seo-ah, who had entered countless hot springs and raised their resistance and immunity more than anyone else.

‘It’s hot, but…’

As they avoided the heat, they felt something was off.

With this much heat, the moisture in their eyes should evaporate, and their pupils should burn, making it difficult to keep their eyes open.

But right now, they were all clearly opening their eyes, hearing sounds, and feeling pain.

Suspicious, they looked down and, as expected.

‘Is this some kind of phantom pain?’

Their equipment was not burning at all.

Their skin, far from being burned, looked as white and soft as if they had just taken a shower.

Yoo Seo-ah nodded at this.

‘The words about burning sins might be true.’

She decided to believe the initial explanation about the 81st floor.

If so, there was only one thing to do from now on.

Find the path of brilliant light.

‘Is it talking about the Tower of Babel after all? No. The Tower of Babel was also covered in flames. Then, literally a path. It’s talking about the path to the real exit.’

Although she didn’t have the memories of regression like Seun, she was also a player who had cleared the trials up to the 80th floor.

Dodge!

She quickly searched her surroundings.

Using not only her eyes and ears but also her skin and the sixth sense she had built up through combat.

“Kugh…”

However, just because her flesh wasn’t burning didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.

The pain felt through the white flames was real.

Wasn’t the most extreme pain a human could feel burning pain?

To move calmly while feeling that pain was a terrible thing that exceeded the limits of mental strength.

Fortunately, the resistance and immunity she had built up in the hot springs seemed to help her feel less pain than others.

‘There must be something.’

While moving her feet without giving up, she discovered a light so intense it was blinding.

‘There!’

A brilliant light.

Yoo Seo-ah ran towards it.

In fact, it was not a light but an even bigger and hotter Holy Fire than the others.

The closer she got, the more extreme the burning pain felt.

Still, Yoo Seo-ah did not stop.

Because she was sure that this was the only way to pass through the 81st floor.

“Oh, you’re fast! Even though you’ve just entered the 81st floor, you’ve found the way so quickly. As expected of Diablo’s Vice Guild Master!”

“Brin… Jarr?”

“It’s best to calm down and catch your breath. If you control your breathing, you can alleviate the pain a little.”

Surprisingly, Brin Jarr was waiting in that hot fire.

As he said, when she calmly calmed her breath, she felt the pain gradually decreasing.

“I’m going ahead first, how about you? Are you planning to wait for your guild members?”

Brin Jarr being there meant that this was definitely the way.

As she had led the Diablo Guild until now, it was right to wait for her guild members even now.

She felt burning pain as if her whole body was burning, but if she controlled her breathing, it wasn’t unbearable.

However, she shook her head.

“I want to go forward too.”

“Hahaha, well thought out! Even if you try to help and pull a child’s arm, their joints will only come out! It is the role of a good person to wait until they can walk on their own!”

She trusted the Diablo Guild.

And at the moment she reached this path, she could understand why other players hadn’t told her the contents of the trial.

You have to get out of this trial on your own.

If you fall in this trial, you won’t be able to withstand the next trial.

Even if you force your way up with guild members who can’t endure it, your life will only be in danger.

Since she trusted the Diablo Guild, she had to leave them behind.

Whoosh!

The heat of the Holy Fire grew hotter and hotter.

She didn’t even know how much time had passed.

She didn’t even know how far she had walked.

At this point, even if she had walked from the outer edge of the island to the opposite outer edge, the road would have ended long ago.

No, even if she had circled the outer edge of the island, she would have arrived somewhere long ago.

No matter how much she walked, the end was not in sight.

Yet, Yoo Seo-ah walked silently.

Without asking Brin Jarr, who was walking ahead, any questions filled with doubt.

“Your mental strength is amazing! If it were your first time, you might have urged me or asked about the end.”

“I’m much better than other people. The leader of Valhalla is walking in front of me.”

“The stronger you are, the longer the road becomes. Since I, who have already passed the 81st floor, am at the forefront, the road must have felt even longer and more difficult. But…”

Brin Jarr stopped walking.

As Yoo Seo-ah tilted her head, he stretched out both hands forward as if drawing back a curtain and spread them wide to both sides.

“You’ve worked hard. We’ve arrived.”

The flames opened wide.

The place they arrived at was in front of the Tower of Babel they had seen at first.

However, in front of the Tower of Babel, in addition to the angel, there was also a being they were seeing for the first time standing.

“That is…”

“The gatekeeper. He dominates the Holy Fire here and is also the judge who determines whether all the sins of the soul have disappeared.”

The monster, made entirely of pure white flames, looked like an elemental.

But it seemed that Brin Jarr and Yoo Seo-ah were not the first to arrive here.

Because there was someone wielding a sword against that gatekeeper right now.

“Seun?”

“Haha, as expected, you’re amazing. I knew you were skilled, but even though it was your first time challenging the 81st floor, you arrived so quickly.”

“Let’s help him quickly!”

“No, it’s no use.”

“Yes?”

“That gatekeeper is not a boss monster. He’s different from an elemental… to put it in perspective, he’s an enemy close to an inanimate object. You can’t defeat him.”

“Then why is Seun fighting?”

Yoo Seo-ah knew.

That Seun was a regressor.

It was unthinkable that such a Seun would not know that the gatekeeper was an enemy that could not be defeated.

As if hitting her expectation that there must be a reason, an answer came from Brin Jarr.

“Your leader seems to love the guild terribly too.”

“What do you mean?”

“As I said, the gatekeeper dominates the Holy Fire here. If left alone, he will constantly increase the fire and torment the challengers.”

“So, does that mean Seun is fighting to prevent the gatekeeper from increasing the flames further?”

“That’s how it looks to me. Otherwise, what reason would there be to fight the gatekeeper?”

It wasn’t just Yoo Seo-ah who cherished the Diablo Guild.

Even Seun, who seemed indifferent, now cherished the Diablo Guild more than anyone else.

“I’ll join too.”

“Hahaha, how interesting! Good, I’ll join too!”

Yoo Seo-ah drew her twin swords.

She might not be able to walk the same path as Seun, but at least she didn’t want to leave Seun alone.

At least she wanted to follow behind him and support his back.

Dodge!

After that, the number of players who rushed towards the gatekeeper, who would never fall, gradually began to increase.

* * *

“Pure white soul that has burned away all sins. Why do you stop and choose suffering?”

The gatekeeper of the Tower of Babel said to Seun.

From the beginning, he was not an existence that could be defeated.

Orcs and ogres had hearts as vital organs, elementals had elemental cores.

Even dragons had a weak spot called the reverse scale, but he had no weaknesses.

He was simply made of pure white flames, Holy Fire, blazing fiercely.

He did not subside even when water was poured on him, and even if the air was removed, he maintained his form by burning himself. He was a truly immortal being.

‘Well, since he’s not a living being, I can’t call him immortal.’

There were two reasons why Seun was attacking him.

First, to prevent him from burning the Holy Fire further.

Basically, the Holy Fire burns more strongly as the number of participating players increases and the participating players become stronger.

Therefore, he was dealing with him to prevent excessive difficulty increases.

And second.

‘Holy Fire. It helps to train resistance and immunity.’

He didn’t know before the regression, but this fire had a great effect on training.

A fire that caused pain but did not create wounds.

Its unique properties stimulated resistance and immunity while preventing injuries.

So, it was a great help to Seun, who needed to get used to his body strengthened by the Demon God’s blood.

“Seun! I’ll help too!”

“Be careful. You won’t suffer any real damage, but the mental pain is real.”

“Don’t worry!”

You can’t inflict damage even if you attack, and you don’t suffer damage even if you’re attacked.

It was truly like dealing with a ghost.

But, why?
A small possibility began to emerge in Seun’s mind.

‘The Journey’s Compass is not reacting, but…’

Maybe, he could defeat him?

That thought kept coming to mind.

A possibility that Seun before the regression thought was impossible, that the countless players who had passed the 81st floor thought was impossible, and that even the Journey’s Compass that Seun possessed now judged to be impossible.

Seun was now thinking of that.

“Pure white soul. If you continue to attack one more time, I will judge that you have no intention of walking the path of brilliant light and attack you.”

Seun’s spine tingled at the gatekeeper’s words.

Those words also meant that he hadn’t properly dealt with Seun until now.

How powerful would such a monster be when it started attacking in earnest?

He couldn’t even imagine.

However.

‘I can reclaim the path of light with the Journey’s Compass even if he hides it.’

You couldn’t get stronger if you avoided challenges.

So, Seun raised Durandal high once again despite the gatekeeper’s warning.

“I’ll find the way myself.”

Seun’s body was covered in the intense flash emitted by the gatekeeper.
