Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 604

I Plundered the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 604

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Saros’s Cross Shield ]

– A cursed shield used by Galahad, known as the most perfect knight of the Round Table. It is said that the curse was lifted only in his hands.

Realizing how threatening the bomb was, Se-un immediately invoked the Authority of Greed.

He also hastily cast an 8th circle defense magic, layering it in front of the shield.

“How did he know this thing would explode? And what is he?”

“Get behind me if you don’t want to die.”

The Black Wing’s Master. His question was audible, but there was no time to answer.

He must have recognized the urgency of the situation, as he stood behind Se-un without further questions, and at that moment…

Kwarurururung!!

The black nebula, compressed to its limit, finally exploded.

The explosion, made of water, ice, and lightning, spread in all directions.

‘Would it have been better to run away?’

No. There wasn’t enough time to escape, and the explosion range was too wide; he would have been swept away anyway.

More than anything, the Black Wing’s Master would not have blindly followed the words of Se-un, whom he was meeting for the first time, and ran away.

‘Still, it’s bearable.’

He imbued the shield made by Go Chang-seok with the Authority of Greed and layered an 8th circle defense magic on top of it.

At this level, it would have blocked even a dragon’s breath for a while.

But then, there was another problem.

“Ugh!”

A very faint scream was heard amidst the explosion.

It was definitely from the herald who had followed Se-un.

Se-un had come at speed, so he thought she wouldn’t be within the explosion range yet. No, even if she was within range, he thought she could avoid it easily.

Perhaps she had sped up at the thought of finding the Master, but her position was too dangerous.

“Can I ask you a favor!”

“I’ll minimize the explosion range as much as possible.”

“Thank you. Mia, wait!”

“M, Master!”

Se-un twisted the shield to block as much of the explosion as possible from reaching the herald.

Then, as soon as the timing was right, the Black Wing’s Master spread his red wings wide and flew to save her.

‘Those are the Black Wing’s real wings.’

They were bright red.

His wings, with not a hint of black, seemed to show what true divinity was.

It was literally like lightning.

Thanks to Se-un twisting the shield, the power of the explosion was significantly reduced in that direction, and he was able to save her quickly.

However, a problem arose on Se-un’s side.

Jjaeng!

Eventually, the magic could not withstand the explosion and shattered.

This was because he had forcibly twisted the shield to save her, which broke the stability of the spell.

Since the Black Wing’s Master and the herald had escaped, he was wondering if he should use another method.

“Thank you.”

His voice was heard from behind.

Soon, the red wings spread wide. They wrapped around Se-un’s body, supporting the shield even more firmly.

The body that had been pushed back was fixed, and the impact of the explosion transmitted to his wrist became much lighter.

How long had passed like that?

Whoo-oong…

The storm gradually subsided.

A stinging pain was felt on the back of his hand, so he looked down and saw that the shield was already burnt black and had lost its function. It seemed that the back of Se-un’s hand had been burnt by the lightning that had entered through the shield.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. The wings… it will take some time, but…”

On the other hand, the Black Wing’s Master was in a state that was difficult to compare with Se-un.

Even though Se-un had blocked the direct explosion, his body was battered all over from flying through the ice and lightning.

Moreover, the red wings that wrapped around Se-un at the end were made of Lucifer’s divinity and were literally reduced to bare bones.

‘This is the first time I’ve seen the Middle Floor so clearly.’

The Middle Floor.

This place, which was the darkest among the Lower Heavens, was clearer than ever thanks to the explosion of the black nebula.

“I don’t know who you are, but thank you. I owe you one.”

The Black Wing’s Master bowed to Se-un.

Se-un had been dealing with the Black Wing Guild members until now, so he thought their Master would be a much more arrogant and authoritarian figure, but he was completely unexpected.

“Let me introduce myself formally. I am Blake, the Master of the Black Wing Guild.”

“I’m Se-un.”

“Se-un. So, you’re Se-un.”

Did he hear it from Lucifer, or did he hear it from the Black Wing Guild members? He seemed to already know about him.

Whether it was the former or the latter, he probably hadn’t heard good things about him, but he nodded and extended his hand to Se-un.

“Whatever the case, it’s clear that you are the benefactor of me and Mia.”

“I don’t think you would have died even if I wasn’t here?”

“Instead, I would have had to rest for a while. It would have disrupted Lucifer’s plan.”

“Plan…”

“Master!”

While Se-un and Blake were talking, the Black Wing’s herald, Mia, whom Blake had evacuated to a safe place, was seen running towards them urgently from afar.

He thought there would be some kind of wall between the Guild Master and the Guild members, but their relationship seemed to be more than Se-un thought.

That’s because…

“I’m sorry. Because of me…”

“No, Mia. You’ve worked hard. Thank you for coming all the way here.”

As soon as the situation improved, the two were hugging.

They didn’t seem to be in a romantic relationship, but rather like siblings; it was a bit awkward to ask about their relationship.

“Master, you’ve already said hello, right? This is Se-un. I guided him to the Master according to the elders’ orders. …Actually, I hardly guided him at all.”

“Yes, I know, Mia. I have one thing to ask the benefactor first.”

Blake looked at Se-un.

Unlike when he was simply expressing his gratitude, he had the overwhelming and sharp eyes of the Black Wing’s Master.

“What is your purpose?”

– The Constellation, ‘Fallen Wings,’ is looking down at you.

[Constellations are powerful beings in this world.] Lucifer’s message came to mind.

Indeed, what Blake is looking for now is Lucifer’s ultimate goal.

As I heard last time, Lucifer’s goal is not to manage the Black Wing, but to find something through Blake.

For that, he didn’t care what Se-un did as long as he stayed by Blake’s side.

‘Yes, I expected Lucifer’s gaze.’

Se-un nodded, and he replied with calm eyes.

“I want to join you.”

“Me? Or Lucifer’s will?”

“Aren’t they the same thing?”

It’s easy to get caught lying in front of a Constellation like Lucifer.

But the words Se-un just uttered were not a lie.

He really wanted to join them.

Se-un also wanted to be with Blake to find something that Lucifer was trying to find.

However, the word ‘until the end’ that Lucifer wanted was missing.

Se-un only wants to be with them until he finds ‘something’.

After that, of course, he intends to take that ‘something’ that they found together.

Whether Lucifer knows Se-un’s thoughts or not…

– The Constellation, ‘Fallen Wings,’ is giving a bitter smile.

Lucifer nodded.

“Welcome, comrade.”

Blake also accepted Se-un as an ally.

* * *

After Blake’s strength recovered to some extent, Se-un followed him on an exploration.

First, he tried to find out how they were searching the Lower Heaven…

Kwang!!

“…Have you been searching like this all along?”

“Yes, Se-un. Is there a problem?”

“Master, anyone can see that this is a problem! You’re just destroying everything that looks suspicious. You’re acting like a monster.”

Mia’s words were not a joke.

The Black Wing’s Master, Blake, would destroy everything until something remained if it looked even slightly suspicious.

If he destroys everything and a hidden dungeon remains, he would attack that place, and if a hidden piece is found, he would take it.

He may look fine on the outside, but his mind might be that of an ogre’s descendant.

‘It’s definitely efficient…’

Blake doesn’t have a search skill. Instead, he has the great power inherited from Lucifer.

In that situation, what would Se-un have done?

When he thought about it, he thought that what Blake said was the most efficient search method.

But that’s the end of it now.

“I’ll take over from now on.”

“Se-un? How can you?”

“I have a search skill.”

“Even if it’s a search skill, there’s no way to check the area as perfectly as this.”

“Master, no. I saw it. The search skill this person has is on a different level from the others.”

“Mia, to the point where you admit it?”

“Yes! I told you, I was of little help in finding the Master. This person almost found him alone.”

“That’s right.”

It may be an efficient method for Blake, but not for Se-un.

Rather than wasting power like this, it was more profitable to convert that power into speed and search more areas as a guide for the journey.

“So, I’d like you to give me some information.”

“Ah, you mean Lucifer’s goal. Well, even if you have a good skill, you won’t be able to find it without information.”

Blake nodded.

Looking at the empty air for a moment, it seems that Lucifer is sending a message so that Se-un can’t see it.

Lucifer, whom Se-un knows, would not have erased his doubts about him, but for some reason, he seems to have received a positive answer this time as well.

Blake, who nodded once again, continued.

“Lucifer is looking for a tower.”

“Tower? Are you talking about the Tower of Babel?”

“No. It’s not the Tower of Babel. No, it might be.”

“What do you mean?”

“What Lucifer is looking for is the Spire of Clouds.”

“Spire?”

“I don’t know the exact identity. I searched the Tower of Babel thoroughly after hearing the name Spire, but the door to the Spire was not found.”

Se-un nodded.

He hadn’t found a door to the Spire in the Tower of Babel with the Guide of Journey either.

‘But there shouldn’t be any tower-like structures in the Middle Heaven and Upper Heaven, including the Lower Heaven, right?’

Se-un had already explored all areas before his regression.

There are no tower-like structures on this cloud.

All areas were natural areas made of cloud-like structures, and he had never seen any artificial structures like spires.

“Is that the end of the information?”

“It was originally the end, but this time I was able to find a hint that seems to be related to the Spire.”

“What hint?”

“This.”

Blake took out a ‘hint’ from his chest.

The fluttering six, no, seven hints were things that Se-un already knew.

“…Angel’s wings?”

“Do you know it?”

“Oh, that! That person also received it from an angel earlier!”

Se-un also took out six feathers from his chest.

The hint Blake mentioned.

Its identity was the pure white feathers that the angels had given him on the previous floor.
