Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 628

Se-un urgently cast a defensive spell.

Fortunately, he had been preparing the spell in advance, anticipating a possible surprise attack from the Outer. Otherwise, he would have been caught off guard.

A sudden dragon attack, of all things.

The crimson claws, like red-hot skewers, reached right before his eyes, sending a chill down his spine.

“Katalakkas?”

‘What on earth is going on?’ he wondered.

He felt a brief moment of doubt, but the answer was clear.

At this moment, the dragon was referring to the owner of the Dragon Heart, Katalakkas, which had become the source of the ninth circle, maintaining the defensive magic before Se-un’s eyes.

“How did you revive?! I distinctly remember tearing your neck apart myself!”

The owner of the Dragon Heart that Se-un used was the Demon Dragon ‘Katalakkas’.

And the name of the Red Dragon, who was baring its black maw before his eyes, was ‘Kashallakkas’.

The names were ridiculously similar.

At this point, it would be stranger if there were no connection between the two.

However, even so, he had not expected Kashallakkas to be so agitated.

“It’s a misunderstanding.”

“So, you ended up selling your soul to the demons! Even if you were called a Demon Dragon, aren’t you ashamed!”

“As I said, it’s a misunderstanding. I’m not Katalakkas, but…”

“Nonsense!”

Clang!

In the end, the shield magic broke.

It was true that Se-un’s magic was powerful, but the opponent was a dragon.

If he were to face it with pure magic, it would be equal to or greater than Se-un, and the dragon’s superior physique surpassed Se-un, who had built up his stats with the Authority of Gluttony.

‘She doesn’t seem to want to listen.’

‘Is it because she’s a dragon?’ he mused. ‘Or perhaps… although it’s a prejudice, is it because of the Red Dragon’s unique stubborn personality?’

The only conversation they had was at the very beginning, and ever since then, she had been pushing Se-un without any proper dialogue.

“It doesn’t matter. No matter how many times you revive, I will kill you myself!”

“I’m telling you, I’m not!”

Kaang!!

She was on a different level from the dragons he had faced so far.

He didn’t know her exact age, but based on her appearance alone, she seemed to be on par with a Wyrm, which was called the prime of a dragon [a dragon in its physical prime].

Although she might not be able to keep up with an Ancient Dragon, who was over 5,000 years old, in terms of magical knowledge or wisdom, no one could deny that a Wyrm-class dragon was in its prime in terms of physical prowess.

Moreover, Kashallakkas was a Red Dragon.

The most combative being among all dragons.

‘It would be different if I were in perfect condition, but right now, it’s a bit ambiguous.’

He had struggled to hold back the Outer here as well, and Se-un had faced far more Outer than the ones that had come up above.

He had consumed so much mana that all nine circles were empty, and he had exhausted a lot of his internal energy due to the intense movements.

However, he didn’t want to use the Authority of Sloth.

After seeing the movements of the Overlord recently, he was reminded that he should always save one last move.

Therefore.

‘I have no choice.’

Se-un took out a key.

The Key of Solomon, the Lesser Key [a grimoire of demonology].

“Ars Goetia [one of the five books of the Lesser Key of Solomon].”

Click-

The blackened key turned clockwise.

An endless abyss unfolded behind Se-un, and he mentioned the demon king he would summon.

“Respond, Demon who holds the Serpent.”

The abyss writhed once.

A chilling aura flowed out from the darkness, and the darkness was filled with hundreds, thousands of writhing somethings.

It was a grotesque sight, as if looking into a pit of snakes.

“The 72nd ranked Demon King, Andromalius.”

The outline of the demon king emerged from the pit of snakes.

It was clearly the outline of a person with four limbs, but the constant writhing made it seem as if hundreds of snakes were constricting the person’s body.

– Kihihit. This is good. That Amdusias wasn’t just excitedly spreading rumors all over the place for nothing.

A damp voice, as if a snake were flicking its tongue, echoed out.

Just hearing the voice alone made all the muscles in his body tense up and sent a chill down his spine.

“Andromalius.”

– Call me comfortably. There aren’t many guys in the Demon World who call me by my full name. And, Ans, Andro, Malius. Call me whatever you want. Kihihit.

“It’s alright, but…”

– You know? It’s rumored throughout the Demon World that your personality is more impatient than Lord Agares. Alright, I’ll lend you my power. I’ve been itching to unleash it.

As Andromalius had already accepted the deal, his reaction was positive.

As Se-un was about to use the third key, Kashallakkas sensed something was amiss and immediately unleashed her breath.

“So, you made a deal with a demon! I curse the fact that your filthy blood flows through me!”

Kwarururuk!

The Red Dragon’s Fire Breath.

The flames, known to be hotter than any lava, engulfed Se-un.

It was a heat that even the same dragon would have difficulty blocking.

Even if Se-un had cast a defensive spell, he would only have been able to withstand it for a few seconds.

Such flames.

– Kihi, it’s quite warm. If Valac saw it, he would have found it quite cute.

Andromalius blocked it far too easily.

Thanks to the snakes that flowed out of the abyss, they formed a huge barrier.

The snakes moved organically and perfectly blocked the flames, and in the meantime, Se-un turned the key engraved with runes clockwise.

Click.

The grimoire, Ars Paulina [another book of the Lesser Key of Solomon]. As soon as its power was manifested.

– Kihihihihit!

Chwarururu!

Thousands, tens of thousands of snakes poured out from the abyss.

Strangely enough, they rode on the flames that Kashallakkas was spewing and headed towards her.

She was startled and stopped the flames.

“Kyaaaa!”

“Swis!”

The snakes did not stop.

Instead, tens of thousands of snakes gathered together and transformed into a single giant snake, then bit Kashallakkas’s neck.

– It’s exhilarating! As expected, it’s much more fun to use my power directly than to sit back and watch!

The snake did not stop at biting her.

It wrapped around her entire living body and began to squeeze with all its might.

Dragon versus snake.

It was a battle where anyone would shout the former, but the situation turned out to be a victory for the snake far too easily.

It couldn’t be helped.

Even though he was the lowest-ranked demon king among the 72 demon kings, the 72nd ranked demon king, a demon king was still a demon king.

Andromalius’s power was not at a level that players could handle.

Thanks to Ars Paulina, Andromalius’s power could now exert its full strength in the Tower without any restrictions.

“You mustn’t kill her.”

– Kihi, that’s a shame. I was going to smell some blood for the first time in a while. Well, if I kill her, Valac might go wild, so I’ll have to stop here. But still….

Crack.

“Keuaaaaaa!”

The snake momentarily exerted even greater force.

Then, one of Kashallakkas’s wings twisted and the joint dislocated.

The roar of the dragon could be heard.

It was not to threaten the enemy, but a scream of pain, just like any ordinary creature.

– I have to punish her for baring her fangs at the human that the Demon Gods cherish.

Even if she was a dragon, she would have no choice but to fall if her wings were broken.

He wanted to subdue her in as good condition as possible, but he ended up breaking her wings, so he couldn’t help but sigh.

Regardless, Andromalius’s snake returned to the abyss with a satisfied look.

– Call me anytime. Kihihit.

Andromalius, who finished only what he was asked to do and disappeared with satisfaction.

It was a bit excessive, but his clean personality was quite to his liking.

‘As expected, he’s powerful.’

The Key of Solomon, the Lesser Key.

The more he used it, the more he admired its power.

It was only borrowing power once, but it could unleash the power of a constellation, even without any restrictions.

He couldn’t easily imagine how much power he could unleash if he collected the remaining fourth and fifth keys.

‘First of all….’

Se-un went down below.

To be exact, towards Kashallakkas, who had fallen to the ground.

Kashallakkas had dislocated all the joints in her body as she fell after being attacked by Andromalius, but even in that state, she was stubbornly regaining her senses and getting up.

“Kuaaaaaak!”

“Let’s talk.”

“I’ll kill you! Even if this body is destroyed, I will definitely kill you!”

“Look closely. I’m not Katalakkas.”

“Do you think you can deceive me with something like changing your appearance! I clearly remember your filthy mana!”

He understood.

Dragons were called the closest beings to mana, so they were more sensitive to mana than other senses.

Everything in this world was imbued with mana.

Not only living things, but also the stones on the side of the road were imbued with mana.

That mana had subtly different forms, so in terms of objectivity, judging the mana one possessed was much more accurate than seeing with one’s eyes.

However, that was also why such misunderstandings occurred.

“Look again.”

“Even if I do…!”

Se-un manifested mana in front of her.

Although he had absorbed Katalakkas’s Dragon Heart, that mana had already become Se-un’s.

It had mixed and fused with various powers, becoming a similar but completely different mana.

Although she was in an excited state and mistook Se-un for Katalakkas, she, as a dragon, would be able to clearly feel the difference.

“…This is.”

Se-un’s prediction was correct.

When he manifested mana in front of her, she soon realized that Se-un was not Katalakkas.

“What are you?”

Kashallakkas growled lowly.

She was still hostile, but he had no intention of being hostile to her.

“I’ll heal your wings.”

As the light from Se-un’s hand settled on her wings, the wings that had been broken at a bizarre angle healed in an instant.

Se-un’s recovery magic, which had reached the 9th Circle, was that great.

“Why do you have that filthy smell on you?”

“I absorbed a Dragon Heart.”

“That can’t be. I shattered that guy’s Dragon Heart myself.”

“A replica, perhaps. Anyway, I have nothing to do with you.”

“…I don’t think you’re lying.”

It wasn’t accurate, but dragons basically had the power to see through the other person’s heart.

After confirming the truth with a few questions, Kashallakkas, having confirmed Se-un’s sincerity, finally eased her hostility.

“Did you help with the battle?”

“If you’re talking about those filthy things, yes. I didn’t like them anyway, and they dared to show up in front of me again, so I finished them off.”

“That equipment….”

“No attack worked on them in the first battle. So, it’s the result of research.”

Se-un turned his head.

Her guild members, called the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, were holding equipment made of meteorites.

No, to be precise, rather than making it from meteorites, it was equipment that seemed to have extracted and inserted only the power of meteorites.

This was a method that even Go Chang-seok had not been able to do.

“Oh, that’s amazing! I’ve tried that method many times, but I’ve failed every time. Did someone make it for you? If possible, could you arrange a meeting for me?”

‘Was that why?’ Se-un wondered.

As soon as the battle was over, Go Chang-seok went to the Dragon Tooth Soldiers and started asking them all sorts of questions.

He wasn’t originally the type to be friendly with just anyone, but the equipment imbued with the power of meteorites seemed to be of great interest to him.

Se-un was also curious.

“How did you find the meteorites?”

“How do you… know about meteorites?”

“I was busy dealing with the ones above, so I guess you didn’t know, but I took care of all the Outer that were hiding below.”

“How am I supposed to believe that….”

“I’ll vouch for him.”

“You are?”

Ella, who had been hiding behind Se-un, revealed herself.
