Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 11

Episode 11

Dealing with the boar wasn’t too difficult.

Despite its massive size, capable of shattering rocks with a single charge, it was full of openings if you could just avoid that charge.

Of course, piercing its thick hide and muscles with ordinary attacks was difficult, but…

-You have opened the Vault of Greed.

[Sharpness]

– A magic developed in the Colorless Magic Tower that maximizes the sharpness of a weapon by consuming mana.

With mana added to the Forgotten Hero’s Sword, which already had a 10% attack power increase against monsters, even its thick hide couldn’t stop Se-un’s sword.

In the end, it knelt before Se-un, its heart pierced.

-You have defeated the boss monster of Boar Hill, ‘The Hill-Digging Boar.’

-Personal contribution points have increased by 500.

-You have acquired ‘Giant Boar Tusks.’

“Tusks, huh…”

Unlike the ‘Gray Wolf Hide’ that I wore like a cloak, this item was purely a material.

It seemed unusable without processing.

“Well, I have to maintain the sword and the hide too.”

Good equipment is as important as raising stats.

If I had sharpened my sword, I could have dealt with the boar much more easily.

The Gray Wolf Hide was fine at first, but wearing it constantly made the rough, untanned fur irritating against my skin.

Besides, the loot wasn’t just this.

“Was this what it was looking for?”

The name ‘Hill-Digging Boar’ wasn’t given for nothing.

The hill had numerous pits dug by it, and in the center of the nearest pit, a rough stone fragment protruded.

[Forgotten Hero’s Tool]

Category: Material

Grade: D-

Description: A tool used by a long-lost hero to maintain his sword. Now forgotten.

Ability: –

To someone who didn’t know, it looked like nothing more than an ordinary stone.

However, as soon as Se-un saw it, he knew what the stone was for.

‘Could it be connected to the Forgotten Hero’s Sword?’

For a moment, Se-un smiled slightly and put the tool in his inventory.

Immediately after, Se-un reached out to the boar he had defeated, intending to use the Authority of Gluttony and return to the camp.

But.

-Failed to devour ‘The Hill-Digging Boar.’

“Huh?”

As if proving Beelzebub’s appetite, the teeth that always devoured corpses without hesitation didn’t appear.

Se-un was bewildered because this was the first time this had happened.

Considering the ‘Grave-Keeping Wolf’ he hunted in the Wolf Forest, he thought it would be drooling and waiting.

However, he thought it was too wasteful to leave the corpse behind, and fortunately, Beelzebub responded.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ cannot forget the crispy monkey meat and demands a new order from you.

“Could it be…”

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ drools, thinking of the golden-brown roasted boar.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ declares that he will not grant his authority unless you cook the meat.

When I used the Authority of Gluttony on the monkeys that were burned by Fireball earlier, I thought the reaction was more excessive than usual. It seemed like his palate had become more luxurious.

‘Cooking didn’t seem to raise stats any further, though.’

This is troublesome.

It’s okay to cook once now, but if his taste becomes more luxurious, he might ask me to cook every corpse.

It seemed like a moment for negotiation.

First.

Whoosh!

Sizzle-

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ wipes his mouth, watching the oil dripping from the boar meat.

First, start cooking to meet Beelzebub’s demands.

If someone else saw it, they would wonder why I was immediately fulfilling the request while negotiating, but negotiation requires an excellent proposal to captivate the other party.

Before long, a golden-brown boar barbecue was completed, but Se-un did not use the Authority of Gluttony.

He just stared at the cooling barbecue.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is restless, saying the meat will get cold!

Despite repeated prodding, Se-un did not respond.

Only when Beelzebub’s urgency went beyond impatience and reached a level close to screaming did Se-un open his mouth.

“I’ll cook once a day. No more than that.”

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ nods repeatedly and shouts for the meat.

“And from now on, no unreasonable demands or excessive nagging. You used to reject the same food, saying you were tired of it, but that’s also forbidden.”

Now that it has come to this, Se-un included all the things that had bothered him until now in the proposal.

There were a few proposals that he would normally refuse, but Beelzebub had already lost his mind in front of the well-cooked barbecue.

Only after Se-un received acceptance of all the proposals did he use the Authority of Gluttony to hand over the meat to Beelzebub.

-Devoured ‘The Hill-Digging Boar.’

-Absorbing nutrients increases Strength by 5 and Stamina by 5.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ buries his face in the barbecue as soon as it arrives.

-The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows His Head,’ shakes his head and looks at the bent table.

Beelzebub, the Demon God of Gluttony.

He was an easier Constellation to handle than I thought.

* * *

“Brother, you’re here!”

“No trouble?”

“Thanks to you burning them all, it ended quickly! Everyone is busy cleaning up the monkey corpses now.”

“Why aren’t you cleaning?”

“Aren’t I your right-hand man? I’m just waiting to assist you at any time…”

“If you don’t want to burn with the monsters in the next wave, go and help. Work twice as hard, including the time you slacked off.”

“…Yes, sir!”

Park Jung-pil. As expected, he wanted to take advantage of Se-un’s power and reign as the second-in-command in the camp.

However, Se-un wouldn’t just stand by and watch that happen. No matter how nicely he acted, he knew better than anyone what kind of nature he had.

He had no intention of tormenting him with the memories of the past, but he had no intention of letting him be.

‘He’s doing better than I thought.’

Yu Seo-ah’s command was one thing, but everyone else was moving with passion.

A distinctly different atmosphere compared to before the regression.

To be honest, I thought there would have to be more injuries or casualties to create a proper atmosphere and a sense of crisis. I thought it would take at least a few more days.

People were moving better than Se-un had expected.

‘That place would be good.’

Se-un found a suitable place and took his position.

He spread out the wolf hide he was wearing, the sword, the tusks, and all the materials he had acquired so far.

‘First, the sword.’

Se-un picked up the ‘Forgotten Hero’s Tool’ he had obtained from hunting the boar.

When he roughly swept it with his hand, he could feel the rough surface.

A tool used by a hero to maintain his sword. In other words, this stone was a ‘whetstone.’

-You have opened the Vault of Greed.

[Black Rock Smithy Primer]

– A secret method taught to those who first enter blacksmithing in the Black Rock Tribe’s smithy, made up of dwarves called the best artisans.

Swish, swish-

Se-un began to sharpen the ‘Forgotten Hero’s Sword.’

He had wiped off blood and oiled it before, but Se-un, who was an ordinary player, had never sharpened it himself. Yet, Se-un was now sharpening the sword more steadily than anyone else.

He stood up from his seat, stretched out his arms, and lightly moved his upper body using the strength of his lower body.

The rust surrounding the sword gradually peeled off.

The rust that had bothered him every time he saw it was peeling off, and the sword began to shine, making him feel refreshed.

At that moment.

“Oh, quite a skill.”

Someone’s voice was heard from the front.

Se-un frowned and raised his head, but the old man approached without paying any attention.

“These days, everyone uses polishing machines, so there are hardly any blacksmiths who can sharpen swords like this with their bodies. It’s surprisingly accurate.”

“Do you know how to use a whetstone?”

“Of course! I’ve been living off metal scraps for decades.”

Was there someone like this in the camp?

Se-un retraced his memories from before the regression, but there was no one in it who knew how to maintain weapons.

Probably.

‘He must have been someone who would have died already.’

Before the regression, he seemed to have been someone who was defeated by a monster before Se-un had time to remember him.

“The condition of the whetstone is also excellent. Where did you get a whetstone of this quality in this wilderness?”

Most of the people in the camp tended to be afraid of Se-un, but the old man didn’t seem to be afraid, or he was so engrossed in the sword that he forgot his fear, and he didn’t seem to care about Se-un’s reaction.

‘Should I leave it to him?’

It wouldn’t be bad for Se-un.

He was sharpening the sword himself now, but he didn’t have time to keep managing and modifying the sword himself.

Having someone in the camp who knew how to manage equipment was something to welcome with open arms. It was impossible to meet a proper blacksmith until entering the tower.

“If you don’t mind, would you do it for me?”

“Oh! Really? I welcome it. I thought I would never touch metal again in this place!”

Se-un gave up his seat and handed the sword to the old man.

He was thinking of stepping in again if he didn’t like it, but watching his skills wasn’t a bad choice.

As soon as the old man received the sword, he opened his mouth and exclaimed.

“A good sword. It’s old, worn, and rusty, but the center of gravity is well balanced, and the blade isn’t too damaged.”

Judging by what he said, he seemed to know more about swords than I thought.

The old man sat in front of the whetstone as if it was his place from the beginning and began to sharpen the sword without hesitation.

‘Certainly elaborate.’

It looks bold, but it’s infinitely soft and delicate.

He thoroughly removes the rust and carefully strokes the blade one by one. Even though he’s just sharpening the whetstone, you can feel the touch of a craftsman.

Even when viewed with the knowledge from the Black Rock Smithy Primer, there was nothing to be desired in his skill.

After a while.

The old man wiped away the cold sweat that was dripping down, wondering how much he had concentrated, and stood up from his seat.

“Hoo! I’ve been concentrating for a long time. Here, try holding it.”

Se-un took the sword.

Swish, swish!

As soon as he swung the sword a few times in the air, he could immediately realize the difference.

The wind split every time he swung the sword, and a sharp tearing sound was heard, indicating how much better the sharpness had become.

The center of gravity had also improved, making the movement much cleaner than before.

[Forgotten Hero’s Sword]

Category: Longsword

Grade: D+

Description: A sword to commemorate a hero who is now forgotten. Thanks to the hands of a great craftsman, it has regained its former sharpness.

Ability: 1. Craftsman’s Touch – Cutting rate increases by 20%.

2. Hero’s Trace – Attack power against monsters increases by 15%.

The system also recognized the man’s whetstone sharpening.

Instead of the existing ‘Metal Poison,’ an ability called ‘Craftsman’s Touch’ was attached, and a 20% increase in cutting rate was comparable to the Sharpness magic Se-un used on the hill.

The second ability, ‘Hero’s Trace,’ also had its effect increased by 5%.

“Good.”

“Right? Even though swords look simple, they are more sensitive than anyone else in the world. It feels so good to work with metal after a long time.”

“Then, can I ask you to do this too?”

“Oh, this is quite good leather too. Is this a tusk? If you trim it well, you can make something quite useful.”

The old man’s eyes twinkled as he held the leather and tusks, just like when he had the sword.

He had already started to immerse himself, and he began to work without answering.

For Se-un, it was the best situation because he could expect better results without wasting time.

At that time.

-The Constellation, ‘Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ is interested in player ‘Go Chang-seok.’

Se-un’s eyes widened as he checked the message floating above the old man’s head.
