Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 133

137

The next day dawned.

I had drunk a lot, but my enhanced body as a player quickly detoxified the alcohol.

Since it was a rare day off, Diablo’s clan members left the inn in the morning for their own reasons.

Sightseeing in the market or securing materials to decorate their residence. Their purposes varied, but they all looked cheerful.

Seun also finished a simple breakfast and left the inn.

After walking a bit, he quickly arrived at the plaza.

“Selling various monster materials!”

“Recruiting members for the Sphere Clan! We can establish a clan residence if we gather just a bit more contribution! Join us to grow together!”

“Is anyone selling a longsword? I’m a warrior with 78 strength.”

He wondered if the 10th floor’s trial and story had led to a space separate from other players, but that wasn’t the case.

The plaza was full of players raising their voices to achieve their respective goals.

Thanks to their considerable numbers, this place had already become a market exclusively for players.

And among them, he spotted a familiar face wandering around the stalls.

“Elder?”

“Hmm? Oh, it’s you. You’re up early.”

It was Go Chang-seok.

Seun thought he had gone to a nearby blacksmith, but he was in a completely unexpected place.

“What brings you here?”

“Hehe, I saw some decent materials. My Constellation likes these things more than iron.”

-The Constellation, ‘Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ asserts that monster materials are better at boosting power than mere hard iron.

-The Constellation, ‘Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ laments that there are no worthwhile materials to be found here.

‘Well, most of the materials sold here aren’t that great anyway.’

The chances of finding a decent item in the middle of a street like this were slim.

Seun pondered if there was anything he could do to help and thought of one possibility.

‘That place…’

He knew a place where more diverse and numerous materials were gathered than anywhere else.

“Come this way.”

“Hmm? No, it’s alright.”

“I’m saying it’s a waste of contribution points to spend them here.”

“Is that so? Well, I appreciate it then. But weren’t you going somewhere?”

“It’s the same way anyway.”

It wasn’t out of consideration; this was Seun’s goal from the start.

Leaving the noisy plaza behind, he walked a bit and soon saw his destination.

It wasn’t so much that the destination was close, but rather that the destination was so large.

“Could it be that our destination is over there?”

“Yes.”

The South Gate of Skave.

It was the place where the Diablo Clan had fought to defend against the monster invasion.

As Seun approached, a tired-looking soldier spoke first.

“Oh, hello! Wow, yesterday was really fun. I still have a headache from how much I drank, haha!”

“You’ve worked hard.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Compared to last year’s invasion, this is nothing. It’s all thanks to you all.”

The soldier lightly bowed his head towards Seun.

Seun, having already received thanks all day yesterday, politely declined and got straight to the point.

“Has the cleanup outside been completed?”

“Well, the numbers were so great that we’ve only secured the roads so far. The surrounding area is still being cleared.”

“What about the monster corpses?”

“We’re still sorting them out. Is there anything you need?”

“If possible, I’d like to look around for any useful materials.”

This was what Seun was aiming for.

The thousands of monsters he had defeated on the 10th floor.

As soon as they stopped the invasion, the Diablo Clan was summoned back inside the castle walls, so they didn’t have time to collect them.

He wondered if the story was connected, and it was.

The South Gate was currently in the state it was immediately after the Diablo Clan challenged the 10th floor’s trial.

Soon, the soldier told him the location where the materials were being sorted, and as soon as he arrived…

“How is it? It looks much better here than that plaza, right?”

“…Hehe, this is a complete gold mine.”

The corpses of the monsters they had defeated yesterday were piled up like mountains.

The important thing was that this wasn’t even half of the collected corpses.

The soldiers were butchering the monster corpses, looking for edible parts or useful materials.

Monster invasions were a great threat to Skave, but if they handled it well, they could gain many benefits.

Not only food, but some materials could be traded at high prices to alchemists or mages.

Seun casually asked the soldier who had guided him here.

“Would it be alright if I took a few decent materials?”

“Haha, of course! The commander wouldn’t say anything about this. In fact, there are so many that we can’t maintain the product value of about half of them, so you can take as much as you want!”

Skave was a city located in the desert, so the monster corpses decayed quickly due to the hot weather.

Moreover, the number of monsters that had invaded this time was particularly large, so the soldiers had nothing to lose.

“Thank you! I should take as much as I can while I have the chance.”

-The Constellation, ‘Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ cranes his neck, saying that the vertebrae over there look quite useful.

Go Chang-seok thanked Seun and the soldier and jumped into the sorting site.

If he could replenish his materials, the Diablo Clan’s equipment would naturally improve, increasing their strength, which Seun welcomed.

‘More importantly, it should be around here somewhere.’

Seun recalled the main purpose of coming here.

He wondered if he should ask the soldiers, but he saw them whispering in the distance and realized that was the place.

Passing through the corpses that were starting to smell, he saw the scene he had expected.

“Wow, isn’t it amazing? The dead are wriggling on their own.”

“Isn’t it a little scary?”

“Scary? What are you talking about! How many monsters did that person defeat with that magic? Especially that explosion at the end, didn’t you see it?”

“Of course, I saw it. It was a truly chilling explosion.”

It was Baekhyun. He was using the monster corpses to create undead.

He had used all the undead except for the Manticore on the 10th floor’s trial to use corpse explosion, so he needed to replenish them.

However, he wasn’t simply raising monsters like ordinary necromancy.

He was researching the monster’s bodily organs and characteristics one by one, finding ways to utilize them to the fullest.

He would attach the corpses of different monsters to create chimeras [monsters made from different animal parts], or fill them with gas like he did when he blew up the crocodile to create undead for corpse explosion.

Thanks to his Constellation, Gamigin, he could store undead and corpses almost infinitely, making this preparation possible.

“Is it going well?”

“Ah, you’ve arrived! As you can see, I’m working hard to prepare. There are many new monsters, so it’s fun to research them, haha!”

Seun always felt that this usually gentle man’s demeanor changed whenever he talked about monster corpses or undead.

Well, that wasn’t a bad thing. It meant he was that immersed in his power.

Didn’t they say that those who work hard can’t keep up with those who enjoy it?

His current appearance was proving that exactly.

As soon as Seun arrived, Baekhyun excitedly explained the characteristics of the monster in front of him, and Seun opened his subspace pocket.

Thump.

“This is!”

“It was in the subspace, so it shouldn’t have rotted.”

“That’s a relief! I was worried that its condition might be bad and I wouldn’t be able to utilize its characteristics. Oh, it’s definitely different from the other ants.”

-The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling Death,’ wags its tail, saying that this will be quite useful.

As soon as he took out the queen ant’s corpse, Baekhyun’s eyes widened with interest.

He carefully observed the organs in its head and abdomen, then grinned, saying it seemed possible.

“Ah, and I have a favor to ask. Would that be alright?”

“Of course.”

Seun nodded at Baekhyun’s request.

Judging from his personality, it must be a request related to undead creation or black magic.

If that was the case, it would be related to increasing the Diablo Clan’s combat power, so he was willing to grant it.

As proven in this 10th floor trial, strengthening the clan would be a great help in the future.

“Could you follow me this way for a moment?”

For some reason, he was requesting a change of location.

If it was a simple request, he could have done it here, but Seun quietly followed him, not knowing why he was asking to move.

They left the workshop where the corpses were being sorted, asked a soldier for permission, and went outside the castle gate.

There, a miserable sight unfolded, with an unbearable stench and monster fluids mixed with sand rolling around.

“Haha, I’m sorry. The space inside the workshop was too small to show it.”

“Space?”

The workshop was very large, as it housed many monster corpses. But he felt that the space there was small.

What kind of request could it be that he was reacting like this?

As Seun thought this, one hypothesis came to mind.

‘Could it be…’

Even for Baekhyun, even for Gamigin, wouldn’t that be a bit much? Just as he was thinking this, Baekhyun manifested Gamigin’s authority.

Black lines were drawn in the air, and the space between them opened like a mouth, spitting out a monster corpse.

Thud!

It was clearly just the corpse of one monster, but when it fell to the ground, it felt like the ground was shaking.

The soldier who was watching this from behind widened his eyes in shock and opened his mouth.

Seun’s reaction was the same.

“You brought this with you?”

“Haha, it was too good to throw away.”

-The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling Death,’ nods, saying how could he throw away such precious material.

The corpse’s identity was the ‘Sahara Predator.’

It was one of the two boss monsters that attacked the castle walls on the 10th floor’s trial.

Despite being attacked by an internal explosion, its thick hide had completely maintained its original form.

Watching it, Seun roughly guessed what Baekhyun was going to ask.

“You want to make this an undead, don’t you?”

“That’s right. It looks fine on the outside, but the inside is so damaged by the explosion that it’s hard to repair. It’s impossible to raise it in any form as it is.”

“Then?”

“Including the workshop, there are countless monster corpses scattered in this desert, aren’t there?”

“…Don’t tell me, you’re thinking of using them?”

“That’s right! I’m going to use the corpses of other monsters to create a skeleton and implement the internal organs. If I do that, I can definitely raise that predator again!”

-The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling Death,’ snorts excitedly.

-The Constellation, ‘The Crow Bowing Its Head,’ shakes its head at Gamigin’s madness.

-The Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ is frustrated that he can’t eat the well-aged food.

Baekhyun shouted with a flushed face.

It seemed that he already had a picture in his head of the crocodile proudly raising its body and opening its jaws towards the enemy.

‘That’s a really ridiculous idea.’

Yes, it was ridiculous.

No matter how skilled he was, it was absurd for a player in only the second shelter to try to handle such a boss monster, or to try to fill the crocodile’s skeleton and internal organs with the corpses of other monsters.

Everything was contrary to Seun’s common sense.

However.

“Alright.”

“Thank you!”

Seun didn’t dislike that recklessness.

Seun had also been doing things that defied common sense to become stronger.

If it was recklessness with theory, confidence, and conviction, it would only make the player stronger.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Raise Chimera ]

– A high-level magic that only the high-ranking necromancers of the Black Tower can perform, which creates powerful undead by mixing different corpses.

Using the authority of greed and the knowledge of the Black Tower that fills his head, the work began.
