Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 591

Guardian of the Tower of Babel.

Back then, I didn’t even consider fighting. Before my regression [reincarnation or time travel], Se-un simply passed by the guardian and entered the Tower of Babel.

However, I made sure to gather information about the guardian to guide my future attempts.

Even then, the Journey’s Compass couldn’t identify the guardian’s weakness.

It wasn’t even a living creature.

It was literally a sacred flame.

It wasn’t a boss monster designed to be killed, and it didn’t even fit the definition of a monster.

‘But, it’s different now.’

Even now, things weren’t much different from before the regression.

The Journey’s Compass still couldn’t find its weakness, and I still didn’t think it could be killed.

So, what’s the reason? Why do I believe I can defeat it?

‘Me before the regression and me now. The difference between the two.’

That’s the key.

Indeed, what is the difference?

Thinking about it, the Se-un before the regression and the current Se-un are almost completely different except for the Journey’s Compass.

Strength, equipment, companions, etc.—the comparison to before the regression is almost laughable.

Even so, I could clearly identify the difference between my past and present self.

‘Divinity.’

That’s it.

The guardian is essentially a sacred flame, and my ability to contend with it stems from this.

– The Sacred Imprint is reacting to the Legend of the Blood Wolf.

– The second ability of the Sacred Imprint, ‘Rage,’ awakens.

An attack utilizing the authority of Rage.

Each time the Sacred Imprint shone, the guardian’s flame flickered, and its movement paused momentarily.

“Yoo Seo-ah, are you okay?”

“Yes! Even if normal attacks are ineffective, I believe we can disrupt the flames by imbuing divinity into our swords.”

“I see! So, this is how you dealt with the guardian.”

The hypothesis that divinity was the answer was confirmed with the participation of Yoo Seo-ah and Brin Jarr.

Neither of them could affect the guardian with ordinary attacks, but as soon as they used divinity, they were able to make the guardian falter.

However, as soon as that realization solidified.

“Pure white soul. From this moment forward, I judge that you have no intention of walking the path of brilliant light and will attack.”

The guardian began to attack me in earnest.

Fortunately, Yoo Seo-ah and Brin Jarr still didn’t seem to recognize me as an enemy.

“Se-un!”

The guardian’s flames burned even hotter and were directed at me.

I was accustomed to the heat of the sacred fire, so I prepared to endure it and counterattack rather than evade it.

Chiik!

I realized what the guardian meant by ‘attack’.

The white flame, which hadn’t inflicted direct wounds no matter how hot it was and only caused a burning pain like phantom pain, began to directly strike only me.

The firepower was so intense that even my skin, which had extremely high burn immunity from Plaka, was getting burned.

“We’ll help you!”

Yoo Seo-ah, realizing that I was starting to get burned, immediately stepped forward and swung her sword at the guardian.

When his ankle was struck with twin swords covered in divinity, the flames that comprised his ankle wavered, and his center of gravity shifted.

Thanks to this, I was able to escape the flames.

“No, go on ahead.”

“Yes? That’s too dangerous!”

“I’m fine now.”

Even an attack using divinity could only briefly halt the guardian’s movement; it couldn’t inflict direct damage.

The guardian, who quickly regained his balance, was about to launch another attack on me when a pure white fur coat covered my equipment.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[Hwawanpo (火浣布)]

– A fur coat made from the fur of the fire rat, Hwagwangsu, which lives in the heart of a volcano. It is an absolutely fireproof suit that protects its owner from any flames.

Fire rat’s fur coat, Hwawanpo.

The guardian’s flames poured down on it.

Hwaaaak!

Even though I was directly hit by the white flames that were burning my equipment and melting my skin, there wasn’t even a small burn on my body.

Rather, as soon as I was hit by the flames, the fur of the white coat rose up and became even more beautifully glossy.

‘But it doesn’t stop the burning pain.’

However, this was only what was visible. There was no direct hit, but the pain was felt even more severely than before.

I, who thought I had become mentally immune to most pain after enduring various tortures in Plaka, clenched my teeth and balled my fist.

The pain was by no means bearable for long, so I immediately took action.

“Pure white soul, outward appearances are just facades. Realize your essence and find your way back.”

The guardian shot flames as if to melt the fire rat’s fur coat.

He had never avoided or blocked any attacks until now.

After all, even an attack containing divinity could only make him flinch for a moment, and it couldn’t inflict any damage.

Defense and evasion were meaningless actions for him, who had no concept of death.

To such a guy.

– The third form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Strike, is enhanced through internal energy.

A crimson sword strike reached him.

But this was also momentary.

He seemed to think that he would recover immediately, but the guardian screamed at the unfamiliar sensation he felt immediately afterward.

“Keu-aaaaaaaagh!”

Pain.

Even the pain of having a part of his body severed.

The guardian, who felt it for the first time, began to run wild.

He tried to pick up and reattach the fallen arm, but the sacred fire that fell to the floor was no longer part of his body.

“It hurts – no, it can’t hurt. But, it hurts. It hurts-!!”

Movement as if he had lost his reason.

The attitude of acting as if he were a god was completely gone.

What on earth happened? How could his arm be severed?

The answer was simple.

– The Sacred Imprint is reacting to the Legend of the Blood Wolf.

– The third ability of the Sacred Imprint, ‘Destruction,’ awakens.

The power of Destruction.

Originally created to defeat Outer Gods, this power also exerted tremendous force when attacking gods.

His body was closer to a phenomenon than divinity, but the power of Destruction succeeded in tearing apart the body made of phenomenon.

However, the fear he would feel was not the end.

“You were so authoritarian with us, can’t you stand this either?”

Seogeok-

My sword split his head.

I wanted to finish him with one blow, but the guy who realized the pain was no longer just taking it.

He struggled and spewed flames, pushing me away, causing the attack to miss slightly.

Of course, that’s not all.

Along with my sword strike, his head, including his left eye, split diagonally and scattered into ashes.

“Keuaaaaaaaaagh!!”

The guardian’s scream echoed throughout the 81st floor.

It was just before that he was talking about a pure white soul and a path of brilliant light.

It was quite ironic to see him inflicting burning pain on the players to test them, yet he himself couldn’t endure the pain of being cut and struggled.

“Se-un!”

“Get out of the way!”

“But…….”

“It would be better to retreat. It doesn’t seem like we’re of much help, so wouldn’t it be better to control those heading this way?”

“……Yes. I understand.”

The guardian began to run wild.

The white flames bursting out in all directions were no longer at a level that I could stop.

He was only causing flames that didn’t cause wounds in the name of burning sins, but you could tell just by looking at Brin Jarr’s equipment, which was turning red as soon as it touched the fire.

“How dare you! How dare you wield a sword against the sacred fire that protects the brilliant path! I will not forgive youaaaa!”

The guardian changed his attitude and began to fire attacks in earnest.

It’s not just simply reaching out or swinging a fist like before.

He spread his arms as if to crush me and charged, spitting out fireballs from his mouth.

If the flames weren’t white, you would believe he was a demon.

‘No, is that really so strange?’

The sacred fire that makes up the guardian’s body.

That pure white flame was gradually becoming cloudy. Accordingly, the flames rippling around it were also gradually becoming cloudy.

‘Well, it has nothing to do with me.’

It was strange, but he was still the target to be defeated.

Now that I knew that attacks worked, there was no reason to hesitate.

– The power of ‘Sea Blast’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Black Tower.

Kwaaa!

I took out a staff from the Ark of All Diseases and unleashed magic imbued with the power of Destruction.

Sea Blast, which creates a huge tidal wave of the ocean.

Originally, the guardian, who would not be damaged at all even by water magic, could not easily welcome the water baptism this time because it was imbued with the power of Destruction.

“Keuaaaagh! Stop it! Stop it! How dare you! Pour cold water on the pure white sacred fire! I will tear that soul to pieces and burn it!”

The guardian’s body was gradually pushed back.

Even as his body became increasingly cloudy and the flames subsided, his mouth continued to chatter and express hostility towards me.

‘He’s strong, but he’s stupid.’

It feels like dealing with a child wielding a precious sword.

It’s definitely dangerous, but if you’re someone who knows how to handle it, there’s no reason to be defeated.

‘Well, it can’t be helped.’

The guardian is immortal.

He doesn’t die. No, he shouldn’t die.

A being that has never had the concept of death until now.

Even if he just stood still, the players would have crawled on their own.

So there’s no way he would know how to fight.

“I cannot allow you to take the path of brilliant light! In this case! Even if I have to destroy the path of brilliant light! I will block your path!”

Did he realize that it was impossible to break through this stream of water and approach me?

The guardian suddenly turned his back on me. Then, he ran towards the Tower of Babel, which was surrounded by sacred fire.

It was such an absurd act. However, the sacred fire that made up the guardian’s body was extremely strengthened.

In particular, the flames on his left leg were barely maintaining their shape, and the sight of him limping forward was a sight to behold.

“What are you doing!”

An angel intervened in the trial, sensing that the situation was turning strange.

Originally, it was abnormal for an angel to interfere except at the beginning and end of the trial, but the guardian’s actions were so far out of line.

“Stop it right now! How can the sacred fire think of destroying the Tower of Babel!”

“Because it is the sacred fire! I cannot allow that soul to pass through! So! Even if I have to destroy the path of brilliant light! I will stop it!”

“What nonsense are you talking about! Stop it right now!”

The angel tried to shout, but the guardian’s movements did not slow down at all.

Rather, he limped even faster as if he had been stimulated.

The guy who arrived right in front of the Tower of Babel in an instant raises his arm high.

Now, he swings his arm, which has turned gray due to turbidity beyond the level of purity, towards the Tower of Babel.

“No! I have to stop it…….”

Unlike his bold actions that blocked the guardian’s path, the angel had no power at all.

Just as the guardian’s arm was about to touch her, who was trembling with tears in her eyes, her lively personality gone.

– The first form of the Bukhae Sword Art [Northern Sea Sword Art], Bukhae Winter Festival, is enhanced through internal energy.

Seogeok.

A long diagonal line was engraved on the guardian’s shoulder, which had become turbid.

Puhaaaat!!

Cold seawater gushed out from the diagonal line and extinguished the sacred fire.

Even though the arm he was swinging fell off, a huge hole was created in the body of the guy who didn’t give up and raised his other arm.

– The third form of the Bukhae Sword Art, Bukhae Whirlpool, is enhanced through internal energy.

Kwaaaat!

Soon, a whirlpool burst out through the hole.

“Keuaaaa-”

In the end, all of the sacred fire that made up the guardian’s body scattered.

In front of him, the angel, who would have turned to ashes and died with the guardian if he had been even a second late, looked up at the player who had saved her, Se-un, with tears in her eyes.
