Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 636

From behind Se-un, an abyss opened, and the Demon King answered the call.

“The 58th-ranked Demon King, Ami.”

Ami.

The Fiery Commander, also known as the Flame-Wielding Skull.

As his footsteps drew closer, the pitch-black darkness gradually turned a deeper red.

– Ho, are those the ones? The so-called ‘Outers.’

The silhouette resembled a person engulfed in flames.

Within the ceaselessly burning flames, a black, skeletal figure was visible. Especially the skull near the head exuded an eerie atmosphere just by looking at it.

‘What can I use…?’

Wooong.

Se-un recalled the Scripture of the Altar, but the Key rejected it.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t trying to use it, but that he couldn’t. Se-un had used the Scripture of the Altar on the previous floor.

It was a mistake he wouldn’t normally make, but it happened because he didn’t expect to encounter so many Outers on the 92nd floor.

“Ars Paulina.”

Upon Se-un’s command, the Nephilim transformed into a Grimoire [a book of magic spells or invocations].

It was fortunate that he could at least use the Grimoire since the Nephilim had regained some power, shortening the usage cycle.

– No need for idle chatter. Quickly set the world ablaze.

Click.

Se-un turned the Key, and Ami’s hand reached out from the abyss. In that hand was another skull.

A grotesquely distorted skull, more reminiscent of a hellish demon than a human skull.

‘Normal attacks won’t work.’

No matter how powerful the Demon King’s attack, it’s useless against the Outers. After all, these are the ones who devoured even the gods and collapsed the Tower before my regression.

Se-un infused the Key with the Power of Destruction.

Then, the abyss accepted the Power of Destruction and emitted a faint crimson light.

– Is this the power I’ve only heard about?

Blue flames flickered around the skull Ami held out.

“Gurgle.”

“Kuluk, Kuuuk!”

The moment the Outers, who had filled the clearing, began to pressure Se-un.

Caw caw caw caw-

The skull Ami held chattered its jaw, emitting a bizarre laughter.

Kwaaaaaat!!

It began to spew out blue flames.

“Gurgle!”

“Gurgle!”

Outers inherently possess resistance to fire.

Even with the Power of Destruction applied, they would layer their bodies to slow down the burning speed as much as possible.

Cheee-

But this time, that didn’t work.

The Outers in the clearing were unable to withstand the spreading flames and were mercilessly burned away.

The recent tactic of layering bodies to slow down the burning speed of the Power of Destruction was completely ineffective.

Indeed, the Demon King’s flames.

Looking around, even the rocks forming the walls of the clearing were melting like lava, unable to withstand the heat.

– Hmph, how boring. But, I see. If it weren’t for your power, it would have been difficult to incinerate them, even if I could inflict pain.

Ami’s voice echoed from within the abyss.

He knew that the Power of Destruction was the decisive reason for the Outers’ demise, and he seemed dissatisfied.

Still, it’s a relief he didn’t spout nonsense about wanting to burn them with his own power alone and telling me to remove the Power of Destruction.

I’ve been feeling it more and more lately, but even though the Demon Kings have strange personalities, their actions are within reason.

I’d even say they’re easier to understand than some of the benevolent gods.

“Kuuuuuuuuuuu-”

Before long, the clearing was filled not with Outers, but with the fumes from their burning.

The unpleasant smell stung Se-un’s nose.

Ami seemed to wrinkle his face at the smell, intensifying the flames even more.

Drip-

Fire and heat naturally rise.

As the flames grew, the rocks forming the ceiling of the clearing turned red and dripped down like lava.

– Croselle was boasting about his possession, but it’s a shame I couldn’t burn those things with my own hands.

It seems the events of the 91st floor have already spread among the Demon Kings.

The Seventy-Two Demon Kings.

I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been communicating with them more frequently lately, but their communication might be better than I thought.

– See you next time.

“Understood.”

The skull Ami held entered the abyss.

As Se-un removed the Key, the abyss naturally disappeared as well.

Is it over just like that? Of course not.

Considering the momentum with which the Outers entered, it was normal to assume there were Outers outside as well.

Just in case, Se-un was about to fly towards the melted ceiling when.

Kooong!!

A red mass collided with the hole in the ceiling.

It was difficult to discern its shape due to the thick dust that spread out, but recognizing its identity was simple.

“Kroooooooo-!!”

The roar of a dragon that shook the eardrums.

Not some wyvern existing on the 92nd floor, but the roar of a true dragon.

And it was a voice Se-un knew well.

“Kashalakas?”

She shook off the dust and stood up again.

A faint gray light flickered from her body, indicating she had been through a rather difficult battle, as several of her supposedly tough dragon scales had fallen off.

“Hmph, were you hiding in a place like this?”

“Hiding? Who?”

“If you weren’t hiding, then quickly join forces.”

“Join forces?”

Se-un pierced through the hole in the ceiling and landed next to her.

And then, the scenery he surveyed was.

“…Since when has it been like this?”

“Not long ago.”

A world covered in black.

Of course, everything that looked black was an Outer.

“Guluk-”

“Kurluk!”

“Guluk, Kurluk.”

The trial of the 92nd floor, Conflict.

True to its name, all the monsters causing fights throughout the field were being consumed by the Outers.

It was a scene that brought back nightmares from before his regression.

The only fortunate thing was that the Outers hadn’t spread to the areas beyond his sight yet?

There were definitely a lot, but the center was where Se-un was.

It seemed that if he defended well now that they were just starting to spread, he could prevent the 92nd floor from completely collapsing.

Above all, Se-un had a reliable ally named Kashalakas by his side.

“Hmph, I transplanted the energy of a meteorite throughout my entire body. Thanks to that, I was able to deal with them, but there were too many.”

“Good work.”

“Good work? It feels like it’s just beginning.”

The Outers’ gazes focused on Se-un and Kashalakas.

Then, they divided their formation into two.

About 2/3 of them began to approach to attack this side, and the rest moved to find monsters to increase their numbers.

“…They really have intelligence.”

“I’ve never seen so many Outers moving so intelligently either.”

There were already a lot, but if the number increased even more here, it would be difficult for even Se-un to handle.

Unlike the Outers, who endlessly increased their numbers by consuming monsters, Se-un’s power had a limit.

So, Se-un decided to divide the roles.

“Kashalakas. Prevent the Outers from splitting up further.”

“Are you daring to give me orders?”

“It’s not an order, it’s cooperation. If you want a reward, I’ll let you conquer the 92nd floor.”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t know the strategy for the 92nd floor?”

“Don’t worry. I can somehow find a strategy.”

“…Understood.”

Perhaps it was because they had built up at least a minimum of trust while traveling together so far?

Kashalakas didn’t say any more and spread her wings and flew to the outskirts.

The Outers who were originally fighting her weren’t paying attention to her now.

“Kurluk.”

Their target was Se-un.

Without caring about her flying away, all the Outers were rushing towards Se-un.

“Kurl… Block the second regressor…”

“For the… great cause.”

“Our… grown-up selves.”

They were no longer just mumbling fools.

All the Outers had gained self-awareness and were even using language, albeit rudimentary.

Each of them boasting sharp claws and teeth, they approached Se-un.

Se-un reached out his right hand towards those guys.

And he used the magic he had prepared to annihilate the Outers from the clearing to this place.

– According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Meteor Swarm’ is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Green Tower, the speed of ‘Meteor Swarm’ is increased.

….

Se-un’s mana circle spun tautly.

The nine rings he had accumulated until now rotated fiercely, each manifesting its power.

At that moment, the mana’s ego residing in the circle manifested.

– Numerous mysteries combine to unleash the power of the Dragonic Circle.

The magic of the 9th Circle.

Not just an ordinary 9th Circle, but the power of the Dragonic Circle, created by fusing all attributes of mana and dragon mana, manifested into dozens of meteors.

Kwaaaaa!

The meteors falling from the sky were stained crimson with the Power of Destruction.

As the meteors fell, the result was, of course.

“Kureueuk.”

“Kuluk-”

“Kuhuk-”

It led to the annihilation of the Outers.

Originally, they would have instantly regenerated their bodies even if they were crushed by the meteors, but since the meteors were imbued with the Power of Destruction, they couldn’t.

The range of the magic was so wide that it was nearly impossible to avoid.

However, the Outers weren’t just passively taking it.

“Shoot… down.”

“Kuluk, shoot it down.”

Under the command of the commanding entity, the Outers raised their heads.

The part presumed to be their mouths wriggled and created an outlet, then shot black liquid towards the meteors.

Chwaak!

Of course, it was impossible to shoot down the meteors with something like that.

However, as the black liquid thickly stuck to the meteors.

Kwaaaang!!

“Kuluk-”

They slowly recovered their bodies despite being hit by the meteors.

They covered the meteors with black liquid to minimize the impact of the Power of Destruction.

‘More than I thought.’

Outers who had only been driven by survival instincts. Those guys had achieved unbelievable growth with intelligence.

When the magic didn’t work properly, Se-un immediately drew his weapon and ran towards them.

– The Treasure Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ The Finale of Legend, Clarent ]

– A sword also known as the Coward’s Sword, used by the traitor Mordred to inflict a fatal blow on King Arthur in the Battle of Camlann [a legendary battle in Arthurian legend].

He moved with all his might from the start.

The target was the commanding entity in the center.

“Kurluk-”

Kagaak!

Although he swung the sword with all his strength from the beginning, it was impossible to completely cut the guy down.

The scales covering his skin. He easily cut through them with the Power of Destruction, but beneath that, there were layers upon layers of scales.

This seemed to be the method they had learned to block the Power of Destruction that Se-un possessed.

Still, not all Outers could stack their scales to this extent.

– Through internal energy, the fifth form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Crowd Hunt, is enhanced.

Commanding entity.

The guys who could speak even a little bit somehow blocked Se-un’s attacks, but the rest lost their lives to Se-un’s strike.

In an instant, several Outers disappeared, emitting black smoke.

Kwagwagwagwang!!

Even during that time, Se-un didn’t stop using magic.

He poured out attacks without sparing mana.

‘Using the Authority of Sloth is dangerous.’

Se-un knew it too.

The Authority of Sloth was the last resort.

If he recklessly relied only on the Authority of Sloth, he could suffer from aftereffects and be helplessly attacked by the Outers while collapsed.

In particular, these guys have intelligence.

Even now, as Se-un poured out all his power, they were slowly retreating to buy time.

In other words, what Se-un was aiming for now wasn’t the Authority of Sloth.

A more certain method than that.

Kwagwang-!!

His mana was almost completely exhausted, and the circle constricted his heart.

The fingers gripping the weapon trembled.

Se-un, who scanned the Outers who were watching his every move, took a breath and slowly called out someone’s name.

“Mammon.”

– The constellation, ‘The Bowing Raven,’ is looking down at you.

“A deal.”

Se-un took out a golden egg from his chest.
