Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 595

Se-woon and the dragon launched their combined attack.

With just one human joining the fray, the battle dynamics completely shifted.

“What are the mages doing!”

“The difference in circles [referring to the level of magical proficiency, where higher circles indicate greater power] is too great! As an 8-circle mage, there’s a limit to what we can do!”

“Damn it, we need to neutralize the dragon first! Then we’ll focus on him again! Prepare the Dragon Slayer!”

“Yes! Prepare the Dragon Slayer!”

While the soldiers held off Se-woon and the dragon, the enemy dragged something out from behind their lines.

Looking closely, it was a dragon’s skull.

The dragons’ expressions twisted in fierce anger at the sight of it.

“What is that?”

“As you can see, it’s a dragon’s head. They’re desecrating the remains of our ancestors….”

A magic stone was embedded in the back of the skull.

As a mage pressed the magic stone and injected mana, the skull darkened, and an ominous light flowed from its hollow eye sockets.

And with that.

“Kuhhh….”

“Those bastards, not again!”

The dragons groaned.

Their wing movements slowed, their altitude gradually decreased, and the power of their breath, which they had been forcefully exhaling, noticeably weakened. The mana they were gathering to use magic scattered, and their bodies swayed. It was clear why that thing was called a ‘Dragon Slayer.’

‘Even a Dragon Lord shouldn’t be stopped so easily by humans. Is it because of that thing?’

It was an artifact with power close to a cheat code, at least when it came to dragons.

Perhaps they weren’t the only ones with such an item.

It seemed that all the humans attacking from every direction of the valley possessed similar artifacts, putting immense pressure on the dragons.

However.

“Looks like it doesn’t work on me.”

The power of that skull was only effective in weakening dragons.

Naturally, it had no effect on Se-woon.

Tatt!

“B, block him!”

“Protect the Dragon Slayer! Don’t let him through!”

Se-woon decided that destroying the skull was the priority and charged forward.

Knights blocked his path, and mages’ spells obstructed the way, but.

Kwaaaang!

Se-woon’s charge was like a bulldozer.

It was nearly impossible to stop Se-woon, who was determined to break through.

Eventually, Se-woon quickly reached the front of the Dragon Slayer.

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

He swung his sword straight at the Dragon Slayer.

If only that were destroyed, the dragons could defend this place with their own strength, without Se-woon’s help.

However.

Kang!

Se-woon’s sword was deflected.

The sword that broke rocks, Durendal.

Even with Se-woon’s physical abilities and the power of his martial arts, he couldn’t break the skull; instead, the sword was deflected.

The repulsive force he felt after a long time made Se-woon’s eyes widen.

“Hahaha! No matter how strong you are, you can’t break a dragon’s skull!”

A dragon’s skull was the hardest part of a dragon’s body.

It was so hard that processing it was impossible, and artisans were known to give up making equipment from it.

“You’ve fallen right into our trap! This is the end for you!”

“Trap?”

At the man’s words, Se-woon looked around and saw a giant magic circle drawn beneath his feet.

And a mage smiling slyly in front of him.

Feeling his body stiffen, he turned around and saw knights, having dropped their swords to avoid entering the magic circle, charging at Se-woon with long spears.

The man who seemed to be the commander among the mages had anticipated Se-woon’s approach to the skull and set a trap in advance.

“About 3 seconds, huh.”

Three seconds until his body was completely stiff.

It seemed difficult to escape as the resistance of the Demon God’s Blood was being penetrated, and his legs were stiffening.

In that situation, Se-woon raised his sword once more.

“Give up! No matter how much you struggle, it’s impossible to destroy the Dragon Slayer!”

The man’s firm shout.

Meanwhile, a new power dwelled in Se-woon’s sword.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ The Witch’s Magic Sword, Barisada ]

– Said to have been created by the witch Parlyna in the Garden of Orgagna, a ‘magic sword that can cut through objects’ given to Logeno to kill Roland.

Following that, a simple swing, not even a powerful technique, was unleashed.

The man expected the sharp blade to make a ‘Kang!’ sound and be deflected as soon as it touched the skull, but.

Swish-

“What!”

Se-woon’s sword neither cut the skull nor was deflected.

It simply passed through the skull as if passing through mist.

Then, as Se-woon briefly put strength into his hand,

Clang!

A sound of something breaking was heard from inside the skull.

The dragon heart, which had been implanted inside the skull to transform the dragon’s skull into a Dragon Slayer, had been shattered.

As soon as the empire’s symbol, the most precious treasure among the empire’s national treasures, was shattered.

“Krrr….”

The dragons raised their heads.

Kwaaaaaat!!

Breath erupted from the dragons’ mouths, and the western battlefield began to be quickly cleared.

* * *

The annihilation of the human side was instantaneous.

Se-woon being powerful was a factor, but the dragons being able to unleash their full potential after the Dragon Slayer disappeared was also significant.

Apparently, the biggest reason the dragons had been pushed back was that artifact called the Dragon Slayer.

“P, please save me. Please. Please save me….”

“You regarded our lives so lightly, yet you cherish your own so much?”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry….”

After the situation was resolved, the humans threw down their weapons, knelt, and begged for their lives.

Even dragons couldn’t show mercy in this situation.

Se-woon stood in front of the dragon, who was raising its claws to end the humans immediately, regardless of their surrender.

“…Surely, you’re not protecting them because they’re the same species? I didn’t think you would.”

“That’s not it.”

“Then why are you blocking me?”

“Is your goal revenge?”

“…What is it?”

“You might enjoy it for a moment through revenge, but wasn’t your goal to protect the Dragon Valley?”

At Se-woon’s words, the dragon bit its lip and lowered its claws. Then, it calmly listened to Se-woon’s words.

“If you kill them all like this, a new attack force will only come.”

“Humans are foolish. They rush in without knowing fear. Even if we send them back now, it will be the same.”

“If they don’t know fear, then we just have to teach them.”

“We’ve tried it. We’ve caused Dragon Fear, but humans didn’t back down. Humans’ ignorance devours even fear.”

“Putting fear on an advancing enemy only provokes them. Fear is….”

Se-woon stood in front of the humans.

He raised his right hand and made the Saint Mark intensely emit light.

– The Saint Mark is reacting to the tale of the Blood Wolf Legend.

– The first ability of the Saint Mark, ‘Fear,’ awakens.

“Kuh, kuhhh.”

The authority of fear manifested.

Dark red divinity permeated the bodies of the remaining five humans, awakening the true fear hidden in their hearts.

Their minds were filled with fear, and even the image of the dragons was covered in fear.

“It’s useful for subjugating opponents and maximizing that seed.”

“Kuhheueuk. S, save… Keuk. Keuheueuk.”

The humans crawled on the ground, foaming at the mouth while cowering.

Even the dragons, who were about to kill them, momentarily showed pitiful expressions.

“Now, get out of here.”

“S, sorry… Keuheueuk. Heueuk. I am. Keuheuk.”

“Keuheuk.”

The humans, terrified, crawled towards the empire.

Perhaps they would not overcome their fear and would crawl to the shelter they called the empire.

Even if they were rescued along the way, they would never forget this fear for the rest of their lives.

“Are you saying we should just let them go like this?”

“Fear is contagious.”

“…Is that really so?”

“It might be difficult with just once. But if you steadily instill fear, eventually everyone will be infected with fear.”

The dragons who understood Se-woon’s words nodded.

Certainly, if they only killed the humans out of revenge, a new attack force would only arrive.

It was a wiser method to instill fear like this and subdue them so they wouldn’t dare to attack again.

“Where is the next battlefield?”

“Are you sure? Other battlefields are urgent, but shouldn’t we rest first?”

“Our Lord also said that. He moved around without sparing his body for us… and eventually lost his life.”

“It’s okay. If I lack strength, I’ll ask for rest first.”

“…I understand. At the very least, won’t you let us help with just the transportation?”

“I will.”

The dragon placed Se-woon on its back.

Se-woon had Turiq’s wings, but since that also consumed divinity, there was no reason to refuse.

After flying in silence for a moment, the dragon carrying Se-woon broke the silence.

“Are you disappointed?”

“Disappointed?”

“We used to go out to the human world in human form. I can recognize your expression.”

Disappointed.

Honestly, there was no reason for Se-woon to be disappointed. If the dragons were weak, Se-woon would just have to put in more effort.

If the dragons were so weak that it was difficult to attack the trials, he would have been really disappointed, but with Se-woon as he was now, he could somehow attack the trials even without their help.

“Is this the original power of dragons?”

“No. We were originally stronger than this. After the enemies who threatened the middle realm disappeared and the middle realm began to be polluted, we divided our mana to protect it, and that’s how it turned out.”

“Divided mana….”

“Managing the middle realm is our destiny. As a result, it turned out like this, but we don’t resent our ancestors’ choice.”

Through the conversation with the dragon, he was able to learn a few facts.

However, their circumstances were not very important to Se-woon, who was planning to just finish the trials and disappear anyway.

“What about the Dragon Slayer we saw earlier?”

“That’s from our ancestors I mentioned earlier. It’s the remains of those who spread out to various places and sacrificed their lives to divide mana….”

The dragons who protected the middle realm even at the cost of their lives. And the humans who took this opportunity to start attacking the dragons.

Listening to it like this, one couldn’t help but wonder what the difference was between humans and demons.

“Still, you don’t hate humans?”

“Hate… I hate them. But they are also a part of the world. We do not… deny them.”

Just before saying they didn’t deny them, Se-woon could sense the dragon’s feelings in the part where the words were briefly cut off.

The conflict between the destiny as a dragon and the emotions as an individual.

Well, it didn’t matter.

Se-woon was just going to attack the trials. And if he succeeded in attacking, he thought that the dragons’ worries might be solved as well.

“Southern humans are attacking from beyond that waterfall.”

“Let’s clean them up quickly.”

Se-woon stood on the dragon’s back to resume the trials and spread his purple wings.
