Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 648

I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 648

The mountain where the meteorite, the source of the 96th floor’s challenge, had been, was completely gone.

After Se-un and Hamel’s fierce battle, a large pit remained, a stark contrast to the flattened area it once was.

Above that spot.

As the dust settled, the two warriors, swords already sheathed, faced each other.

“Are you satisfied?”

“Yeah, satisfied. I didn’t think I’d find anyone to cross swords with after leaving Schienen, but it was a lot of fun – the first in a while.”

At first, Se-un had intended to deal with the situation casually.

Francis Hamel. He hadn’t felt the need to engage seriously with someone known as the Sword Emperor.

Fighting and potentially becoming enemies would be troublesome, and exerting his full strength might slow down the conquest of the next trial.

However, Se-un unknowingly entered a trance during his fight with Hamel.

Enlightenment.

The battle with Hamel was more than just a fight; it brought profound enlightenment to Se-un.

It gave Se-un, who had been relying on Mammon’s artifacts, a sense of his own power and understanding.

“Thank you.”

“What for? Just think of it as advice from a senior. And I also realized something thanks to you.”

“Realized what?”

“That there’s still someone like you in the Tower. I’ve become interested in climbing the Tower, too.”

滅Black Godly Martial Arts (멸흑신무) [Myulheuk Shinmu – roughly translated as Extinction Black Divine Martial Arts].

A martial art created by fusing the essence of almost all martial arts in this world.

A martial art created solely to confront the Outer Gods by gathering all those mysteries.

As Se-un created it himself, he knew best how powerful this martial art was.

If he had mastered this martial art during the Outer Gods’ attack, wouldn’t he have been able to push them back alone?

That’s what he thought.

“Have you heard about the Outer Gods?”

“I heard about it roughly from that dragon. They’re trying to destroy the Tower? After fighting them directly, I realized that wasn’t a joke. And that my strength is lacking.”

The one called the Sword Emperor realized that his strength was lacking.

Honestly, it was understandable.

Even if he was the strongest among the players, he was still human, after all.

He couldn’t do anything against the Outer Gods, who couldn’t even be faced by gods and demons, and couldn’t stop the Tower’s destruction.

Fortunately, there was a suitable meteorite, and thanks to Se-un’s advice, he was able to wield a sword made of meteorite to fight the Outer Gods.

“So I’m going to climb the Tower with you.”

Before his regression, Se-un hadn’t heard from Hamel until he regressed.

He clearly existed, but he didn’t reveal his presence until the end.

Such an existence was now determined to climb the Tower.

He didn’t seem to like the Outer Gods either, so it seemed safe to consider him an ally.

The Sword Emperor was an ally.

He was as reliable as Kashalaka, no, even more so.

“Oh, and you’ve been smelling something since earlier.”

“Smell?”

“Don’t you have something? When you reach the Mythic Realm, you develop this sense. A certain… sense.”

“If it’s something the Sword Emperor would like… are you talking about a weapon?”

“No, I’m not obsessed with weapons. Everything I hold breaks, so I’m satisfied with just a wooden stick now. Something else besides that.”

“Something else?”

What was he suddenly talking about? Something he would like?

Se-un frowned, and something came to his mind.

It wasn’t something he would particularly like, but he had prepared something with Francis Hamel in mind.

“Could you be talking about this?”

What Se-un took out was a carrot cake.

The thing that Hamel’s remnant, who remained as the lord of the Ice Castle, said he hated the most.

Just in case, he had asked Kim Mi-jeong to bring it before leaving Schienen.

Since it was stored in the subspace pocket, there was no need to worry about it getting cold or spoiled.

Clearly, the Hamel of the past said he hated carrot cake the most.

“Oh! My sense is never wrong! How long has it been since I had carrot cake!”

The current Hamel was different.

He took the carrot cake placed on Se-un’s hand and took a bite.

His expression was pure ecstasy.

“Carrot cake… weren’t you supposed to hate it the most?”

“I did. But how do you know that? How did you prepare this? Do you like carrot cake too?”

“I challenged the Ice Castle.”

“Ah, right. I left my remnant there, didn’t I? That guy told you. I hated it until then.”

“Until then?”

“I first encountered carrot cake after entering the Tower. At first, I hated it, but the more I climbed the Tower, the more I kept thinking about it.”

Hamel hurriedly took a bite of the carrot cake and reminisced about the past.

“So I bought ingredients at the auction house and had cooks make it for me at the rest area, but after being stuck in trials, I could only eat byukgokdan [a type of energy pill]. That’s when I missed this the most.”

Se-un didn’t know the full story, but he was glad that Hamel liked it.

“You’re giving this to me, right?”

“I have plenty of food.”

“Thank you. As a senior who has reached the Mythic Realm, I’ve helped you, so it’s okay to receive this for free, right?”

He took a bite of about half of the carrot cake and put the remaining cake in what appeared to be a subspace pocket.

Then he dusted off his hands and stood up.

“Now, shall we go!”

“Are you really going to climb the Tower?”

“Of course. More than anything, if I want to fight you again… I need to reach the stars, don’t I?”

It was the moment when a new climbing companion was unintentionally created.

* * *

Immediately after leaving the 96th floor, Se-un began to conquer the trials at an even faster pace than before.

– Welcome to the 97th floor trial.

– Theme: Aging

97th floor.

A place where strength weakens over time, and the surrounding time flows quickly.

This time as well, the trial began with Ars Goetia [a grimoire detailing 72 demons].

Clang-

After the battle on the 97th floor, for some reason, even more demons allowed him to call them.

The demon that Se-un chose was…

“Answer me, Blind Old Man.”

Constellation, Blind Old Man.

Contrary to his shabby name, he was one of the strongest among the demons, ranking in the top tier.

“Respond, Demon King Basa-go, ranked 3rd.”

The Great Demon King, also known as the Prophetic Noble, Basa-go.

– Hehe, nice to meet you. Contractor.

Even when he summoned the 21st ranked demon, Morax, he felt tremendous power, so what would it be like for the 3rd ranked demon?

As soon as he appeared, the surrounding atmosphere darkened.

Kashalaka was wary of his formidable power and moved back, while Hamel, on the other hand, approached him and showed interest.

– I didn’t intend to show myself directly, but I didn’t know that the lower ones would show such a disgrace. They’re tarnishing the name of the Demon King.

The reason he said this was soon clear.

Among the demons Se-un had recently summoned, there was only one who had failed his mission.

That was Morax.

It was difficult to say it was entirely his fault, but in the first place, he ultimately failed to destroy the meteorite, which was the purpose he was tasked to do.

– Constellation, ‘Lord of Tears’ protests.

– Constellation, ‘Lord of Tears’ explains that it was not his failure, but that human misunderstood and sent him back.

– Excuses, excuses. I apologize for the disgrace of the lower one. Instead, I will directly help you.

Morax, who had never sent a message before, sent a message urgently, but it did not work for Basa-go.

Se-un didn’t know the details, but it seemed like a kind of political fight was going on among the 72 demons.

Well, it’s none of Se-un’s business anyway.

Se-un only needed one thing.

“Please.”

– Yes, yes.

It was just to conquer the 97th floor.

Basa-go, who nodded, spread darkness widely around him.

He was naturally manipulating power outside the abyss without even using the third key, truly worthy of being the 3rd ranked demon.

– Hehe, what a strange place. The axes of time are mixed up in a chaotic way. My prophecies are constantly being overturned.

As a demon called the Prophetic Noble, his prophecy began.

The power he could use was extremely limited in the state where he only used Ars Goetia, but as the 3rd ranked demon, he did not disappoint.

– Dig the ground.

“…Dig the ground?”

– There are many paths, but don’t you want the closest path? Dig the ground. Then there will be an old man who is dying even though he cannot die.

An ambiguous prophecy similar to Stolas. However, it was a very intuitive prophecy compared to Stolas.

He just had to dig the ground according to his words without having to understand it with difficulty.

“Thank you.”

– Hehe, it was nice to get some fresh air outside for the first time in a while. If you need more help, follow ‘Cyan’. It will be more helpful than the others.

“If it’s green.”

– There is nothing that is not visible to that person.

The outline of Basa-go disappearing.

It didn’t take long to understand what he meant by cyan.

‘Is there really a political relationship?’

The Seven Demon Gods all have colors that symbolize each of them.

Among them, if it’s cyan, it’s clearly the Demon God of Sloth, Belphegor.

It seemed that Basa-go was on Belphegor’s line, and he meant that he should summon the demons on Belphegor’s line often in the future.

He felt strange because he felt like he was suddenly involved in a political relationship, but Se-un shook his head and focused on what he had to do right now.

“You heard the conversation, right?”

“Keuheung, I’ll start right away!”

“Digging the ground, that’s innovative?”

Digging the ground as soon as he entered the 97th floor.

Those who encountered Se-un for the first time wouldn’t believe it, saying what nonsense, but Kashalaka and Hamel nodded immediately.

The first to move was Kashalaka.

She even used magic to strengthen her body, and then began to dig up the soil like an excavator with the huge body and hard claws unique to dragons.

Amazing speed.

It was a work that directly revealed her simple and ignorant personality.

On the other hand.

“Hamel Style, 3rd Form.”

Hamel next to him took out his sword, stuck it into the floor, and slowly moved his arms, calming his breath.

Soon after, he clenched his fist tightly and vertically cut the sword up.

“Pulling Upward Slash.”

Chwaaaak!

The earth in front of him was pulled up along the tip of the sword and covered the sky.

It was a swordsmanship that looked like a simple upward slash, but the result was so believable that it could be called magic.

Se-un, who had been watching the two digging the ground, rotated the mana circle instead of digging the ground.

– According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Despair of Wind’ is strengthened.

Whooooosh!

The wind that was blowing out.

He moved the wind towards Kashalaka and Hamel, minimizing the killing power because it was not for attack.

Detailed mana control to the extent that not even one of their clothes fluttered even though they touched the wind.

The wind scattered the soil that the two had carried out, and blew wind into the soil to make it softer.

“Wow, that’s good? I should call you All Master instead of Weapon Master.”

“Keuooooooo!!”

As the three joined forces, the floor quickly disappeared.

A hole that suddenly began to appear on the 97th floor.

The more they dug, the more the power of aging acted to weaken the three’s strength, but the three frantically dug up the ground as if trying to finish it before their strength weakened.

The monsters who heard the noise and came fell into the hole.

“Keua-kehek!”

“Swish-ik!”

They were swept away by Se-un’s wind magic, Kashalaka’s claws, or Hamel’s sword dance and lost their lives without even knowing why.

They were torn apart so quickly that they couldn’t even know what the monsters originally looked like.

Of course, none of the three wanted to know the identity of the monsters.
