Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 605

“How did you get those feathers?”

“I should be asking that.”

Angel feathers aren’t something you can get just by passing trials.

It’s an item that can only be obtained by meeting meticulously hidden conditions, to the point that even Se-un, before his regression, couldn’t get them.

Blake had such an item.

Se-un wasn’t the only one surprised.

Mia, the herald watching beside him, also widened her eyes.

“Wow, Master, did you also pass all the forks on the 86th floor in one go?”

“What are you talking about, Mia? No.”

“Huh?”

Mia tilted her head.

Se-un was able to receive feathers from the angel on the 86th floor because he had chosen only the correct paths at every fork without ever making a mistake.

But that wasn’t the case for Blake.

To Mia’s question about how he received the feathers, Blake replied as if it were obvious.

“I just explored in the way I’ve been doing.”

“Don’t tell me, you went to all of them again……”

“That’s right. I visited every fork and explored every staircase, digging up every suspicious place.”

“And they gave you the feathers?”

“They said they were impressed by my persistence in looking at every staircase and gave me the feathers.”

“The conditions for receiving feathers…… aren’t just one?”

Listening to him, the conditions for receiving feathers, not only on the 86th floor but also on other floors, were completely different from Se-un’s.

In the trial on the 81st floor, he endured the holy fire, traveled through all areas, and even withstood the gatekeeper’s attacks while exploring every section.

In the trial on the 82nd floor, even after overcoming the trial of the chosen golden door, he thoroughly searched the inside of the golden door and explored every area.

He said he received the feathers after being recognized by the angels for spending so much time.

‘It’s no different from grinding [repetitive tasks to gain experience or items].’

Se-un knew that Blake had been spending a long time here, but he chose such a simple and crude method.

That wasn’t all he wanted to ask.

“But why seven?”

Se-un had six feathers.

The feathers were received through angels, but there are no angels here on the 87th floor.

So he thought the number of feathers would end at six, but Blake had seven feathers in his hand.

“Ah, this is…….”

Blake looked down at the feathers.

Then he turned his head towards the layered floor he had just passed.

“I picked it up because it was fluttering in the spot where the Black Nebula fell.”

“The Black Nebula dropped a feather?”

“To be precise, it’s a feather that appeared after the Black Nebula exploded.”

Was the explosion of the Black Nebula the condition for obtaining the feather on the 87th floor?

Se-un shook his head as he pondered.

Just like from the 81st to the 86th floor, this time again, this wouldn’t be the only answer.

There would have been other ways to obtain the feathers besides the Black Nebula.

However, the problem was that Blake wasn’t sure if this feather was related to the spire.

‘Maybe this is it.’

Se-un was even more convinced by his guess.

Before the regression, the master of the Black Tower, Blake, eventually found something Lucifer wanted, and the Divine-Demonic War broke out.

Without any exploration skills, how did Blake find it?

It’s simple. He found all the feathers in the same way he’s doing now.

‘If it’s Blake’s method, it will take a long time, but he would have eventually found all the feathers.’

Then there’s only one answer.

Se-un also needs to focus on tracking the feathers.

If he didn’t know about the existence of the feathers, it would be a different story, but if there are feathers hidden above, Se-un is the only one who can find them the fastest.

“Okay, let’s go find the feathers now.”

Whoosh-

The Compass of Journey began to search for traces of the feathers.

* * *

Angel feathers.

Blake had already obtained the seventh feather, but Se-un had not yet moved on to the next floor.

‘Perhaps, those feathers might not be keys or signposts, but ‘qualifications’.’

If the feathers were the qualifications to enter the spire, Se-un might not be able to enter even if he found the spire.

That would be troublesome.

Therefore, all the feathers had to be found in pairs.

Thinking so, the first place Se-un came to was the Red Cloud (赤雲) [Akagumo, literally “red cloud” in Japanese], one of the unique terrains on the 87th floor.

“Se-un, are there feathers here too?”

“Maybe.”

The reaction of the Compass of Journey is faint.

As if being interfered with by something, the Compass of Journey was not able to properly guide the way when it came to feathers.

However, that doesn’t mean the function is completely stopped.

The Compass of Journey was faintly pointing in the direction of the feathers.

That faint reaction and Se-un’s knowledge of the geography of the Underworld.

The place he guessed by combining the two was this Red Cloud.

“It’s completely different from the layered floor.”

“It’s sunny.”

Red Cloud.

A cloud also known as cumulonimbus or cumulus.

In particular, this cumulonimbus cloud is known to have a round top and a flat bottom, floating in fluffy shapes.

However, this is only the information about clouds that humans below know.

In the first place, the name of the Red Cloud called from below was not Red Cloud (赤雲) but Cumulus Cloud (積雲) [Sekium, literally “cumulus cloud” in Japanese].

“The owner seems to be in a good mood.”

“Owner?”

“That guy.”

As if to prove that it was a vertical cloud, a long creature came down from the top of the towering red cloud, the Red Cloud, wrapping around the cloud.

A dragon. No, a monster closer to a snake than a dragon.

A boss monster that is not as good as a dragon, but is known to breathe fire and bring rain as a monster just before reaching the dragon.

From the player’s point of view, dealing with him is no different from dealing with a dragon, so they immediately run away as soon as they find him.

That’s because he was the strongest monster in the Underworld.

Whenever the Imoogi [Korean mythical serpent-like creature] gets angry, the weather in the Underworld darkens, and whenever he takes a nap, the weather fluctuates brightly.

“Are you going to fight that guy?”

“If you’re scared, I’ll fight him alone.”

“There’s no way. I’ll join you, Se-un.”

“I, I’ll run away! Good luck!”

Mia, reading the atmosphere, quickly ran away.

Before long, the Imoogi, who discovered Se-un and Blake exuding hostility towards him, frowned and bared his fangs.

As if reflecting his vigilance, the sunny sky instantly turned dark.

Rain poured down from the sky, and in between, only the Imoogi’s two eyes shone eerily.

“Let’s go.”

“Good.”

Flap!

Se-un and Blake spread their wings at the same time.

Turek’s beautiful purple wings and Lucifer’s sharp red wings.

The two wings swirled towards the Imoogi, drawing purple and red trajectories, respectively.

“Kuaaaaak!”

The Imoogi suddenly spewed flames.

As if the saying that he dominates the weather on the 87th floor was not an exaggeration, the flames were as hot as the sun.

“I’ll take care of the fire.”

“Good.”

Se-un nodded at Blake’s suggestion.

He had already seen him defeat the Black Nebula from afar, but he didn’t know in detail what kind of power he used.

When he finds the goal with him.

They might be on good terms now, but at that time, Se-un might face Blake with a sword. No, that’s more likely.

So it was necessary to know his power accurately.

Se-un moved out of the range of the flames to prepare for the next attack, and Blake stood proudly in the center of the flames, raising his hand and shining the stigmata fiercely.

“Reversal (逆轉) [Yeokjeon, literally “reversal” in Korean].”

His wings spat out red light.

As if shining like a mirror, the red wings collided with the flames spewed by the Imoogi…….

Kwaaat!

The flames changed direction and headed towards the Imoogi.

‘Reversal. Is it the power to reflect the opponent’s attack?’

The Imoogi was embarrassed.

The flames that he thought would burn the two humans in an instant were flying towards him.

It was too late to avoid it, so he spewed flames again to counteract the flames.

Kwaaa-!

While the two flames collided, Se-un had already moved right next to the Imoogi’s head.

And Durandall is raised high.

– Through internal energy, the first form of the Breaking Darkness Sword, Heaven Breaker (破天) [Pacheon, literally “breaking the sky” in Korean], is enhanced.

Durandall, stained black according to the mysteries of the Breaking Extremes Divine Art, fell towards the Imoogi’s eyes.

The Imoogi, unable to move his body because he was countering his own fire.

Due to the characteristics of snakes that do not have eyelids, all he could do was trust the transparent scales that protect his eyes.

Puhwat!

“Kuaaaaak!”

Se-un’s sword mercilessly cut out his eyes.

Se-un did not stop there and spewed hellfire from the tip of his sword.

No matter how much he controls the weather, he couldn’t withstand the flames bursting out from inside his eyes.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve fought with someone.”

Blake, who flew in drawing a red trajectory as soon as the flames disappeared. In his hand were two pairs of daggers.

One was a black dagger full of demonic energy, and the other was a white dagger emitting divine power like an angel.

Kaang!

The Imoogi quickly bit the two daggers, not matching his size, as if not wanting to be hit by them.

Using that gap, Se-un tried to swing his sword, but the Imoogi’s tail flew next to Se-un.

Kwang!

“Kaaak-“

Immediately following, the Red Cloud that the Imoogi was wrapping around wriggled.

The Red Cloud shot out red clouds as if bursting, and all of them became the Imoogi’s shape and attacked Se-un and Blake.

“I feel like I’m fighting a Hydra [multi-headed serpent monster in Greek and Roman mythology].”

“Hydra…… It seems more difficult than that.”

Several dozen Imoogis made of Red Cloud.

As if proving that they were made of clouds, they would scatter into clouds even if they were defeated.

However, they could not allow attacks.

Although they were made of clouds, the power they had was real.

Kwang, Kwang!

Kwaaang!!

Se-un and Blake, and the Imoogi.

Every time the three beings clashed, the clouds in the Underworld rippled.

The weather changed frequently, and the monsters of the Underworld trembled.

“Blake, that power from before. Can you use it against those clouds too?”

“Are you telling me to create an opening? Okay, Se-un. However, we have to defeat them all at once.”

Several dozen Imoogis made of Red Cloud rush in with their mouths wide open.

At that time, Blake’s wings shone once again.

“Reversal.”

Kukung!

This time, it wasn’t bouncing off.

Reversal, as the word suggests, is the power to reverse or change something.

If he changed the direction of the flames at first, this time he reversed the power that the Imoogi was using to gather the Red Cloud to create clones, causing the Red Cloud to scatter.

Reversal.

Simple, but a fraudulent power that can be used in any way depending on its utilization.

It was truly a demonic power that suited Lucifer perfectly.

“Kuaaaaak!”

The Imoogi made of clouds disappeared in an instant, leaving only the real Imoogi.

He was gathering power to finish Se-un and Blake at once.

He was creating dark cumulonimbus clouds like an abyss above his head, preparing a dragon’s lightning that would devastate everything.

Unfortunately, before it was completed, Se-un appeared.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[Ame-no-Habakiri] [Japanese sword used to slay the Yamata no Orochi].

– A sword said to have been used by Susano-o [Shinto god of storms and the sea], the god of the sea and storms born between Izanagi and Izanami [creator deities in Japanese mythology], when he defeated the evil dragon Yamata no Orochi [eight-headed serpent in Japanese mythology].

A sword that is perfect for killing him.

The Imoogi, who instinctively felt ominous, activated the cumulonimbus clouds that he had not yet fully gathered and shot lightning at Se-un.

Kurung-!

The word dragon’s lightning was not for nothing.

Lightning that literally flies towards Se-un in the form of a dragon.

Although it was not yet complete, its power was strong enough to annihilate the existence of the Underworld.

One.

– The sword that split the rock, Durandall, bursts the storm energy dormant in ‘Ame-no-Habakiri’.

– Snake hunting is reproduced through ‘Ame-no-Habakiri’.

Susano-o’s sword that controls the storm.

The sword that defeated the evil dragon Yamata no Orochi.

It didn’t work in front of Ame-no-Habakiri.
