Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 202

The Devil’s Vault Raided – Episode 206

Swish, swish, swish–

Again, I didn’t hold back on mana and poured water into the hole.

I wouldn’t have made this choice if I were alone.

Consuming all of my mana like this, in a situation where I didn’t know what kind of monster would appear, was diminishing my own combat power.

I received help from Nokpung, who suddenly appeared during the trial on the 26th floor, but that was a lucky coincidence.

However, Se-un now had one crucial difference from before his regression [return to the past].

‘Because I have companions.’

Yoo Seo-ah, Kang Han-cheol, Baek Hyeon, and others. The Diablo Clan was together.

They were no longer beings to protect from the front, but companions to overcome future difficulties together.

Even if I ran out of mana, if any monster appeared, I could just get their help.

Perhaps curious about Se-un’s actions, several people approached the area.

“Blood Wolf Oppa [term of endearment for an older brother figure], what are you doing?”

“Ah, I get it! You’re filling the hole so we won’t die if we fall!”

“Wow, really? So considerate!”

“But is it even filling up? I can’t even hear the sound of water falling, let alone see the surface.”

As Se-un didn’t answer, they interpreted it in their own ways.

Like Park Jeong-pil’s last line, no matter how much water was poured, all that could be heard was the sound of water pouring.

I couldn’t hear the sound of water hitting the bottom or water accumulating.

Just how deep could it be? Could my idea that there might be something like a Black Harpy here be wrong? Is the sinkhole just an element created by the trial?

Various thoughts came to mind, but there was nothing to lose anyway.

Even while Se-un was standing still and pouring water here, the Diablo Clan was steadily overcoming the sinkhole and moving forward.

“If it’s water… I’ll help a little too….”

In the midst of that, a man with a tired look approached.

He was also a member of the Diablo Clan and had a contract with one of the 72 devils; his identity was:

– Constellation, ‘Shining Scales’ spews out seawater.

Forneus, the 30th-ranked devil.

A devil who leads the water demons, in the form of a giant sea monster. It was known that in the sea, he was among the top combat powers of all the devils, surpassing his ranking.

That much.

– Player Choi Soo-chang uses ‘Dawn’s High Tide’.

His ability regarding water was close to the strongest in the current situation.

Kwaaaa-

Water poured out from his hand as well.

It seemed to be about the same power as the magic Se-un was using, at a glance.

Of course, even if the power was the same, compared to Se-un, who had reached the 6th Circle [level of magical proficiency], the output maintenance time would be extremely short, but it was still a helpful amount.

Perhaps because they were curious about the sight of water pouring into the sinkhole from both sides, people’s attention gradually focused.

Swish-

“I’m… at my limit….”

Choi Soo-chang, who had joined later, stopped the water flow first.

Se-un, too, was exhausted. His mana was slowly running out.

Even so, the bottom of the sinkhole was still shrouded in dark darkness.

No, there was one thing that had changed from the beginning.

Splash-

At first, I couldn’t even hear the sound of water falling, but now I could hear the sound of water colliding with water.

Of course, it was such a faint sound that only Se-un, whose hearing was enhanced by the Authority of Gluttony, could detect it, but what was clear was that some water had risen below.

And following that.

Swish, swish!

The sound of water raging like a whirlpool could be heard.

The water flowing from Choi Soo-chang’s and Se-un’s hands had long stopped.

In that situation, if the water was fluctuating like that, there was only one reason.

“Everyone, prepare!”

“Yes? Prepare for what….”

Some people expressed doubts, but most were used to Se-un’s actions, so they immediately prepared for battle.

They each took out their weapons and formed a formation around the sinkhole.

This was possible because Yoo Seo-ah had spared no effort in educating them about formations.

The moment everyone aimed their weapons at the bottom of the sinkhole.

Kugugugu!

The ground trembled.

Even if it wasn’t Se-un, anyone could quickly realize that this wasn’t an earthquake.

A roar rising from the sinkhole.

A roar from the depths, directed at the enemy who dared to fill their home with water.

“Kieeeeeek–”

A high-pitched, sharp roar closer to an ultrasonic wave than a roar.

Most people just frowned, but some couldn’t stand it and raised their hands to block their eardrums.

Of course, that roar contained the unique pressure and fear of a strong monster, but.

– The stigma devours the fear of the deep underground.

Fear didn’t work on Se-un.

The Diablo Clan, who had inherited Se-un’s power to a slight extent as members of the same clan, were also not consumed by that fear.

Rather, their minds became clearer the moment they resisted the fear.

And finally.

Kwaaa!

The monster, hidden in the invisible deep abyss, revealed itself.

Judging from the environment, I expected it to be a Worm-type monster in the form of an insect, but it seemed more powerful than I thought.

The soft outer skin unique to worms was not visible, and steel-like scales protruded sharply from each segment.

Its wide-open mouth was full of saw-like teeth, and dozens of tentacle-like tongues wriggled between them.

‘It’s a Deep Ore Worm.’

One of the monsters I studied in the Tower’s Grand Library before my regression.

A Worm-type monster that lives in the deep underground and eats hard ore; its size and the strength of its outer skin increase depending on the ore it eats and its lifespan.

I heard that the size of an adult is usually around 20m, but the one in front of me looked bigger than that, even at a glance.

Only its upper body was sticking out, but it was at least 30m or more. Judging by the thickness, it looked like it was 40m.

‘I’m sure I heard it was a docile monster that only eats ore underground.’

Its temperament was so docile that it would be frightened and run away even if attacked first. But the one in front of me didn’t seem to have any intention of running away.

“B, block it!”

The monster swung its upper body as soon as it appeared.

The armor-like, hard, and sharp scales swept the ground.

Even if it was angry because its residence was flooded, it wasn’t a normal reaction.

Kuoong!

“Got it.”

Kang Han-cheol stretched out his arms and grabbed the head of the approaching Deep Ore Worm.

He said he caught it, but because it was so big, it was just blocking the attack, but the monster couldn’t easily escape from Kang Han-cheol’s hands.

Instead, it opened its mouth wide and stretched out dozens of tentacles.

An attack on the one who dared to arrogantly block its attack.

Even Kang Han-cheol was holding the Deep Ore Worm’s head with both hands and supporting the weight with both legs planted on the ground.

There was no way to block the attack in a situation where his limbs were tied up.

Of course, Kang Han-cheol isn’t just excellent in attack power.

The unique toughness from his thick muscles had become even stronger through sparring with Se-un, and thanks to the equipment made by Go Chang-seok, his defense power was at a level that could easily block most attacks.

However, the tentacles were eventually cut off before they could touch Kang Han-cheol’s body.

Swish, swish, swish!

Yoo Seo-ah’s twin swords cut off dozens of tentacles in an instant.

Thanks to that, the Deep Ore Worm’s sharp scream rang out once again.

“Now’s the time!”

Pa-ba-ba-bat!

Following Yoo Seo-ah’s instructions, the Diablo Clan’s attacks poured in.

Usually, players in the same clan have similar combat styles, but the Diablo Clan was different.

They played instruments, breathed fire, and raised corpses.

They poured poison, changed the shape of their outer skin, and even Park Jeong-pil found a tiny gap between the segments of the Deep Ore Worm and inserted a bomb.

Advice or items that Se-un threw out every time he passed by. In addition to that, due to the interference of the 72 devils, each with their own distinct personality, the Diablo Clan was pursuing tremendous diversity.

Thanks to that, the Deep Ore Worm couldn’t come to its senses and swung its head from side to side.

That alone was an excellent attack, but thanks to the formation that tightened and loosened according to the attack, the Deep Ore Worm’s attack didn’t work at all.

Even Se-un, who was watching from a step back, was satisfied with the battle.

– Player Lee Ha-neul uses ‘Poison-Soaked Ward’.

– Player Kim Mi-jeong uses ‘Blue Star Side Dish’.

– Player Baek Hyeon uses ‘Corpse Explosion’.

Kwareuk-

Peobeobeong!!

The Diablo Clan’s linked skills, which had always been together since the tutorial, were perfect.

Appropriate buffs and debuffs, followed by a powerful attack.

In the end, the Deep Ore Worm gave up attacking and tried to go underground.

However, because its body was so huge, it couldn’t turn around in the sinkhole.

Judging that it was too slow to wriggle and retreat as if backing away, the Deep Ore Worm bent its body and jumped upwards as if bouncing.

The target was another sinkhole on the opposite side.

If it went in there, it would be impossible to call it back.

“Kang Han-cheol!”

“Got it.”

I had used all my mana pouring water, so I couldn’t spread Icarus’s Wings this time either.

On the other hand, the Deep Ore Worm was floating high in the sky.

But there was a way.

At Se-un’s shout, Kang Han-cheol spread his legs without asking and lowered both hands together.

The moment Se-un, who had run quickly, stepped on that hand.

“Heu-eup!”

Whoosh-!!

Kang Han-cheol powerfully threw Se-un, and Se-un quickly flew into the sky.

The huge body of the 40m-long Deep Ore Worm quickly came up to my eyes.

The internal energy of the dantian [energy center], which had been converted to Yang energy in advance in preparation for this moment, burned hotly.

– Through internal energy, the first form of the Violet Haze Sword Art, Violet Haze Creation, is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Violet Haze Divine Art, heat is added to the martial art.

It was the same first form as the one used in the Snow Mountain, but the atmosphere was different.

At that time, it was a form forcibly manifested with 4 cycles of internal energy, but this time it was an attack perfectly prepared with martial arts reaching 6 cycles.

Of course, it had to be different.

In accordance with the meaning of Violet Haze Creation, the surroundings were momentarily dyed purple.

With the illusion that time had stopped for a moment, the moment Se-un drew his sword.

Clang-

The scene in front of me ‘opened’.

The scene Se-un was watching was the Deep Ore Worm’s body, surrounded by hard and sharp armor.

Of course, what opened was the body of that Deep Ore Worm.

Puhwaat!

A fishy fluid burst out from the Deep Ore Worm’s body, which had been split in half.

– Hidden quest, ‘Squirming in the Abyss’ has been completed.

– Additional points are awarded for the trial ‘Sudden Fall’.

Se-un, who had split the Deep Ore Worm with a single sword, landed lightly on the ground.

After that, the Deep Ore Worm’s huge corpse fell down with a Kuoong! sound.

As soon as that happened, several people, including Baek Hyeon, quickly approached the Deep Ore Worm’s corpse.

“Oh! This carapace can be adapted to other undead! If we transplant it to Saha’s Predator….”

“You can make some pretty good armor out of this. Hey, can I take a few pieces?”

“Everyone, get out of the way! This is obviously the material for our ‘Ultra Power Robot No. 1’!”

“That’s right, that’s right! Don’t touch our ‘Ultra Power Robot No. 1’!”

If it were other players, their hearts would have dropped just by looking at the Deep Ore Worm, but to the Diablo Clan, the Deep Ore Worm was just a monster they would naturally win against.

Judging from the way they were talking, it seemed that they had been thinking about how to use the Deep Ore Worm’s materials while fighting.

– Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince’ declares that they should stop immediately, saying that they are touching his food.

– Constellation, ‘Black Bird’ replies that he will only take a little.

– Constellation, ‘Giant Bird’ urgently pushes the Black Bird back, watching the Devil’s eyes.

‘Well, I guess I can use the Authority after taking out some more materials.’

– Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince’ screams that that guy just took the most delicious part.

– Constellation, ‘Death-Trampling Horse’ quietly takes a step back and whistles.

– Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince’ begs you to use the Authority quickly.

Se-un used the Authority of Gluttony after more than half of the Deep Ore Worm’s carapace had been torn off and the soft flesh inside was visible.
