Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 37

The Vault of the Demon God-37

Chapter 37

Mana Stone.

As the name suggests, it is a mineral containing mana, useful for wizards and all players.

There are several ways to use it, but there was one particularly powerful method:

Enchanting with explosion magic.

Turning the Mana Stone into a kind of bomb, detonating all the mana inside.

It has the disadvantage of consuming the Mana Stone in a single use, but its destructive power is enough to easily destroy a building, even with the lowest grade Mana Stone.

And Se-un.

*BOOM, BOOM, BOOOM!!*

*Rumble!*

Before arriving here, he made the most of his stealth skills and planted Mana Stones throughout the goblin village.

The magic engraved on the Mana Stones was, of course.

– You have opened the Vault of Greed.

[Fire Burst] – The most basic explosion magic of the Fire Tower, causing a small explosion in a certain area. The power can be adjusted according to the amount of mana used.

Fire Burst. In other words, explosion magic.

He would have liked to engrave a higher-level explosion magic like Explosion, but…

Explosion was not a spell that Se-un, a 2nd Circle mage, could use, nor was it a spell that could be engraved on low-quality Mana Stones.

Originally, Fire Burst was supposed to cause a ‘small explosion,’ but the power of swallowing all the mana in the Mana Stone and bursting out was enough to destroy a building.

Moreover, Se-un had planted most of the Mana Stones he obtained from the goblin’s warehouse throughout the village.

*BOOOOOOM!*

“Kieeeek!”

“Ke, kehek! Kehek! Kek!”

Because the huts here were also half-destroyed by the aftermath of the explosion, the situation outside was clearly visible.

All that could be seen was hot flames.

The goblins rolled on the floor to put out the fire on their bodies, but they couldn’t do anything about the heat searing their lungs.

The lungs burned black, and they lost their lives in vain.

The same scene played out everywhere you looked.

The watchtowers and walls that the village was so proud of collapsed, and goblins screamed with their bodies on fire.

It was truly hell.

It was like a scene from the underworld, known to be filled with sulfur fires.

“My, my village! My village! My subordinates!”

“So what? You said they were all stupid and useless things that didn’t meet your standards anyway?”

“You, you dare!”

The chief of the goblin village, Kokongkak, grabbed his crude club tightly and rushed at Se-un.

It was impossible to escape from this hot inferno, and he couldn’t expect support from his subordinates, so he realized that the only way to survive was to somehow defeat Se-un.

*BANG!*

The club swung by Kokongkak shattered the throne.

It was clearly aimed at Se-un, but Se-un had already completely disappeared from his sight.

“That’s going to be a problem if you don’t stop the bleeding, you know?”

*Thwack!*

“Kiaak!”

In addition to the previously severed right carotid artery, the left carotid artery was cut off.

As the blood flowing to his head was cut off, Kokongkak’s face turned white.

Kokongkak urgently wrapped his hands around his neck to stop the bleeding. Naturally, the club fell to the floor.

“You shouldn’t drop your weapon like that.”

*Stab.*

Se-un’s dagger was embedded in the center of Kokongkak’s neck, so deeply that only the handle could barely be seen.

The named monster who led thousands of goblins was defeated by a single player in less than a minute.

– You have defeated the named monster, ‘Cunning Hobgoblin, Kokongkak.’

– Your level has increased.

– Personal contribution increases by 8,000 points.

– Personal contribution increases by an additional 4,000 points for defeating a named monster alone.

– You have acquired ‘Kokongkak’s Six-sided Club.’

Kokongkak lost his life while tightly holding his carotid artery. It was too anticlimactic an ending for a named monster.

‘Well, I guess that’s what this dungeon was like in the first place.’

A village with thousands of goblins in the second chapter of the tutorial. If even the named monsters were strong in such a dungeon, no one would have been able to conquer it.

In fact, this dungeon was originally a hidden dungeon that was difficult to conquer even with the cooperation of two camps, but such conditions did not apply to Se-un.

– You have flawlessly conquered the hidden dungeon, ‘Cunning Goblin Village.’

– Your level has increased.

– You have achieved an amazing feat.

– As a reward, personal contribution increases by 20,000 points.

Flawlessly.

This was an adverb that Se-un was seeing for the first time.

Well, he went beyond conquering the dungeon and blew up the dungeon itself, so it would be hard to find a more perfect dungeon conquest than this.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is staring at you with sparkling eyes.

“Yes, yes.”

Se-un used the Authority of Gluttony on Kokongkak.

Well, the Demon God of Gluttony was directly paying attention, so he couldn’t forget to use the Authority even if he wanted to.

As soon as he used the Authority, several teeth appeared urgently, as if they had been waiting, and opened their mouths wide.

Kokongkak’s corpse, unable to close his eyes as if he couldn’t believe his death, quickly disappeared.

– You have devoured ‘Cunning Hobgoblin, Kokongkak.’

– Absorbing nutrients increases Agility by 5 and Intelligence by 10.

– A small amount of internal energy [Qi or vital energy] and mana are absorbed into the dantian [energy center] and circle.

As expected of a named monster. It disappeared, providing stats equivalent to level 5.

In addition, there was an additional phrase that was not usually visible.

‘I can even absorb mana. I didn’t know that.’

Until now, only stats could be increased with the Authority of Gluttony. For that reason, he had been using mental cultivation techniques or the training methods of the Black Tower to gather mana.

But he can absorb mana with the Authority of Gluttony?

This changes things. He can now gather internal energy and increase his circle just by hunting monsters.

‘Of course, there will be restrictions.’

It was his first time experiencing this, but Se-un could roughly guess the restrictions.

That is, the presence or absence of mana.

A hobgoblin who dominates a village of this size would have possessed a small amount of mana, even if he couldn’t use it.

That mana was absorbed into Se-un through the Authority of Gluttony.

This was the condition Se-un speculated.

Just as he was about to turn around after the dungeon conquest was over, Beelzebub’s message appeared additionally.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ says he is still not satisfied and is looking at a huge, well-cooked tray.

‘Tray?’

Se-un tilted his head, wondering what he meant.

Then he soon realized what it meant.

A well-cooked tray. In other words, it was referring to the entire village that Se-un had blown up.

However, there were countless goblins who lost their lives to Se-un in this village.

At least a thousand.

It is impossible to use the Authority of Gluttony on all of them one by one. Moreover, now that Beelzebub is tired of goblins, even if he used the Authority, his stats would no longer increase.

‘Should I just ignore it?’

Se-un scratched his head, feeling annoyed.

Perhaps reading Se-un’s thoughts?

Beelzebub bestowed a new power upon Se-un.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ enhances the Authority of Gluttony by one level.

– It is now possible to set a range with the ‘Authority of Gluttony’ and devour a large number of corpses at once.

– If a certain number of corpses are devoured at once, additional nutrient absorption will occur.

“Oh ho.”

Range setting.

Se-un had been dealing with a large number of monsters recently, so this seemed like a pretty convenient ability.

It’s not difficult to use, but it was quite cumbersome to use the Authority on each monster.

Besides, ‘additional nutrient absorption’.

Se-un did not hesitate to use the enhanced Authority of Gluttony.

– You have designated the entire ‘Cunning Goblin Village’ with the Authority of Gluttony.

– The Gluttonous Fangs are covering the village!

*Crunch!*

Starting with one goblin corpse in the center of the village being crushed.

*Crunch, Crunch!*

*Rumble!*

Beelzebub’s teeth covered the entire village.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ cheers as he watches the prey filling the table!

At that time, Se-un was able to feel for the first time as he looked at the mouth covering the entire village.

The power that the Demon God of Gluttony, Beelzebub, possessed.

What if those teeth were not only applied to the monsters Se-un had defeated? What if it could be used on living targets?

With terrible screams, the targeted beings would enter Beelzebub’s stomach alive.

He didn’t realize it when he saw them one by one, but as he watched the countless teeth covering the village, he realized once again that he was a ‘Demon God.’

Before long, all the goblin corpses in the village disappeared.

– You have devoured 2,101 goblins designated in the village within the range.

– Absorbing a large amount of nutrients increases all stats by 10.

– A large amount of internal energy and mana begins to be absorbed.

“Even mana?”

All stats increased by 10. In other words, a total of 40 stat increases.

This was amazing enough, but even internal energy and mana were increasing! Moreover, the amount was beyond what Se-un had imagined.

*Whoosh!*

Like he had felt in the public square of the ‘Forgotten Hero’s Training Ground,’ a huge wave of energy rushed in.

The mana present in one goblin was so weak that even they themselves could not feel it, but it was mana that had permeated into as many as 2,101 goblins.

Even if it was a small amount of mana, all of it rushed into Se-un’s body at once, so its presence was enormous.

*Wooooosh!*

Se-un quickly used the Breaking Extremes Heart Technique and the Black Tower’s training method.

The tide of energy, which had been surging roughly as if the path was blocked, seeped into Se-un’s dantian and circle.

The dantian, which had already accumulated half a *gi* [unit of energy], expanded rapidly, and the second mana circle, which had recently been paved, also filled up tightly.

Perhaps because the energy accumulated by the monster was closer to the form of mana than the cleanly refined internal energy? The amount of mana seeping into the circle was enormous.

The amount was so much that the second mana circle could hardly handle it.

As a result.

– You have successfully created the third mana circle through the Black Tower’s training method.

– The use of 3rd Circle magic is now possible with the creation of a new circle.

– The level, power, and speed of magic that can be used increase depending on the level of the mana circle.

– The destructive power of the magic used increases even more due to the mysteries of the Black Tower’s training method.

– You have achieved an amazing feat.

– You have acquired 10,000 points as a reward.

Se-un was able to complete the third circle in the second chapter of the tutorial.
