Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 67
Chapter 67
After Se-un and Riel joined forces, their progress speed doubled. This wasn’t just because of the unique Elven magic, ‘Breath of Nature,’ that Se-un was using.
Whoosh!
He blew wind into the spirit’s flame, making the fire even bigger.
Crack!
He added sharp stone fragments to the spirit’s wind, further enhancing its power.
By providing magical support in the right places, the spirits’ attacks became even stronger, and the monsters quickly crumbled.
“Wow!”
“I’ve gotten stronger!”
“No, it’s thanks to that kid.”
“Amazing!”
Thanks to this, the spirits naturally became interested in Se-un.
Riel, watching this, wore a strange expression.
‘Just who is he?’
They had joined hands for a purpose, but things had felt a little strange from the start.
He was a human who used unique Elven magic, and now he was even receiving attention from the spirits.
Spirits are essentially living beings close to nature itself, and they are immensely wary of outsiders.
Unless you are a being blessed by nature, like an Elf, it is difficult to even see them, let alone have a conversation.
Because of this, the number of spiritists among humans is known to be extremely rare.
But now, the spirits were showing great interest in that human.
Besides.
-The constellation, ‘Fifth Day,’ smiles gently.
For some reason, the goddess who had been so worried about her was no longer concerned and was watching the situation with ease.
However, the situation was too urgent to allow for deep contemplation.
Although they were steadily moving forward, the number of monsters was still enormous.
“Let’s focus. We’re almost there.”
“I know.”
Although her tone was cold, Se-un was impressed by Riel’s combat skills.
He had heard that it was difficult for an ordinary spiritist to contract with two elemental spirits, but she had contracted with all four major elemental spirits.
Before his regression [time travel], he could perfectly understand why she had confidently taken first place in the contribution ranking.
Besides.
‘Riel was Freya’s contractor.’
The constellation’s message floating above her caught Se-un’s eye.
Constellation, Fifth Day.
She was the goddess who had shown interest in Se-un, breaking through Mammon’s interference when he opened the third circle a while ago.
Freya is one of the chief gods who rule Asgard [realm of the gods in Norse mythology] along with Odin.
That power would give her, who controls the four major elemental spirits, a boost, so if it weren’t for Se-un, she would have certainly achieved first place in this life as well.
‘Still, I can’t give up the boss monster like this.’
Based on what he had seen, even she couldn’t hunt the boss monster alone.
He didn’t want her, who would grow into an outstanding force in the tower, to die here. But he had no intention of giving up the boss monster either.
So, he would join hands with her and defeat the boss monster together.
Then, the contribution points would be distributed equally, Se-un’s ranking would be maintained, and he would succeed in protecting her.
“Shiiit-”
“Kuluk, kuluk.”
As they moved forward, they finally began to see the appearance of the fifth floor’s boss monster, the Sea Drake.
Perhaps because of its overwhelming presence, most of the smaller monsters were keeping their distance, but the large, sub-boss-level monsters were still holding their ground.
As if they were escorting the boss monster.
The moment he identified them, Se-un quickly leaped and moved away from his spot.
“Hold on for a bit.”
“Huh? Where are you going!”
There was no time to answer.
Since he didn’t think she would run away anyway, Se-un ignored her shout and circled around the boss monster.
In the meantime, he made eye contact with the Sea Drake, who was taking leisurely steps befitting its position as a boss.
“Kuaooo-!”
-The enraged tyrant of the sea, Darakan, unleashes Dragon Fear.
-Overwhelming fear erodes you due to the enraged dragon’s roar.
Dragon Fear, one of the dragon’s authorities.
It was the power to instill fear by unleashing a roar filled with magic, shaking the body and mind.
Although the Drake’s roar did not contain mana, it was enough to terrify all life on the battlefield.
“Kuh…….”
Se-un could not avoid this either.
He gritted his teeth to drive away the fear, but Dragon Fear was not something that could be overcome simply with willpower.
The legs that were moving quickly stopped, and his hands and feet trembled.
If it weren’t for Se-un’s strong will, he would have collapsed to the floor and lost his mind.
Thump, thump!
Darakan approached Se-un, who had stopped in his tracks, with a leisurely gait.
He didn’t seem to think for a moment that the prey in front of him would run away from him.
At that moment.
-The Satyr’s Stigma (sealed) is partially released by overwhelming fear.
-The first ability of the stigma, ‘Fear,’ awakens.
The stigma engraved on the back of Se-un’s right hand emitted a chilling dark brown light.
The shape of the goat’s horns became clear, and it began to drive away the fear that was eroding his mind.
-Due to the ‘Satyr’s Stigma,’ all kinds of fear are devoured.
-The stronger the fear you devour, the stronger the Satyr’s Stigma becomes.
He overcame fear in an unexpected way. The trembling hands and feet regained strength, and his eyes calmly focused.
“Kuaooo-!”
Thud!
Darakan leisurely closed his mouth, but Se-un was not there.
He shook off the fear and ran around him at an even faster speed than before, perhaps because of the stigma.
Riel, who was watching this, was surprised with her mouth open.
‘What on earth is he doing?’
Se-un was not the only one who suffered from Dragon Fear. Riel and the four major elemental spirits were also in a crisis situation, with their entire bodies stiffened by the overwhelming pressure.
But suddenly, a dark brown light emanated from Se-un, and at the same time, the fear state was lifted.
Darakan also had a bewildered expression on his face at the unexpected situation.
“I was scared!”
“I’m not scared anymore!”
“Is that dragon doing that?”
“Bad dragon!”
The spirits excitedly circled around Riel, forgetting that they had been stiffened until just now.
However, that didn’t mean she could understand Se-un’s actions.
‘What is he trying to do?’
He didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting.
He was just circling around Darakan.
“Kuaooo-!”
As Darakan roared, the monsters around him began to approach.
Originally, they were monsters who were afraid and did not approach even though they were on the same team, but it seemed that an order had been given to eliminate those who dared not to be afraid in front of him.
“Too… many!”
Her spirits were doing their best, but they couldn’t stop hundreds or thousands of monsters alone.
A helpless encirclement.
Inevitably, she was thinking of leaving the place alone with the power of the wind spirit.
“Good job.”
“Yes?”
Se-un, who had circled around Darakan and returned, put his hand on Riel’s shoulder.
And at that moment.
-The ‘Karmelder-style defense magic circle’ unfolds around Darakan.
Woo-oong!
The path Se-un had run began to shine, centered on Darakan.
Karmelder-style defense magic circle.
It was the magic circle he had used before to protect the clan.
“What is this?”
“As you can see, it’s like a barrier. I used all the mana stones I had, so you don’t have to worry about external attacks for the time being.”
“Mana stones, don’t tell me that’s all of them?”
Riel looked around at the mana stones that were emitting light.
Even with a rough glance, there were easily over a hundred.
‘How did he get so many mana stones in the tutorial?’
No player, not even a dragon, could bring any items into the tutorial.
In other words, all those mana stones were items he obtained in the tutorial.
Was that even possible?
It was hard to believe, but that wasn’t the important thing right now.
“Kuaooo-!!”
Darakan, realizing the barrier, roared in anger and unleashed Dragon Fear once again.
However, it had no effect on Se-un, who had the Satyr’s Stigma activated.
Rather, only the monsters who were panicking outside the barrier were panicking and trying to escape.
“Aren’t you going to fight?”
Thud!
Se-un was the one who stepped forward first.
Se-un took out the weapon he had taken from the lord, ‘Gnome’s Compressed Mineral,’ and ran quickly towards Darakan.
“Wait a minute! Shouldn’t we make a plan first!”
Kuuuu-
Darakan’s mouth widened greatly.
What would happen after that was obvious without even looking.
Breath.
A unique ability of the dragon species that condenses and spews out unique attributes to the limit.
Even if the opponent was a Drake who couldn’t handle mana, they would be helpless if they were hit by the breath.
But even so, Se-un did not stop.
Rather, he put internal energy into his legs to increase his speed even more and ran towards Darakan’s head.
At that sight, Riel gritted her teeth.
She hated such reckless attacks the most, but she had no choice but to help him now.
“Sylph!”
“Okay!”
“Push that human’s back!”
“Okay. Okay!”
Whoosh!
The wind spirit, Sylph, created a tailwind to help Se-un’s movement.
Due to the spirit’s wind, Se-un’s speed increased by more than 1.5 times his usual speed, and he quickly arrived in front of Darakan’s nose.
Darakan was also greatly embarrassed, not expecting Se-un to arrive so early, and spewed out the breath that had not yet been fully formed.
However, Se-un swung his blunt weapon faster than he could breathe.
-The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.
[ Hercules’ Brass Club ]
– A club that Hephaestus [Greek god of blacksmiths] created at Zeus’s [king of the gods in Greek mythology] request for the gods before Hercules [a divine hero in Greek mythology] performed the 12 Labors.
Crack!
Se-un’s blunt weapon was dyed yellow, inheriting the power of the brass club.
A divine weapon that crushed countless monsters in Hercules’ hands and even smashed the castle gates in one blow.
That weapon slammed down on Darakan’s nose.
Crack!
He had simply swung a blunt weapon the size of his forearm, but the monster’s nose bone, which was over 10m long, was completely crushed.
However, that wasn’t the only problem.
When the brass club’s intense impact struck his nose, Darakan naturally closed his mouth.
Kwaaaang!!!
The breath that had been hastily prepared did not stop activating and exploded inside his narrow mouth.
