Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 262

I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 266

Olympus. The high mountaintop where the great gods reside.

Above it, a sea was connected, an incongruous sight for a mountain.

It was the sanctuary of the sea god, Poseidon.

He used his power to draw a vast sea, connecting it to Olympus, high enough to pierce even the clouds.

Inside the grand temple built in that mystical space.

“Son.”

“What brings you to me, Father? All this ‘son, son’ stuff is making me cringe.”

“Well, of course, it’s because you’re my son……”

“I can tell you want something. Just get to the point. It’s not like we’re a close family.”

“Ahem. You’re as impatient as Amphitrite.”

Triton, Poseidon’s son, was kneeling awkwardly on one knee before the sea god.

However, even as father and son, their relationship didn’t seem good, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Thinking he had shown enough courtesy, Triton straightened his leg, stood up, and pretended to dust off his knee.

“I take after you more. You pulled out your trident over a few pranks and kicked me out, didn’t you? If you have nothing to say, I’m leaving.”

“No, ahem. Listen.”

Poseidon cleared his throat.

Anyone else would have felt intimidated and lowered their head, but it didn’t work on Triton.

“You’ve heard about Pan, right?”

“Of course. Olympus has been buzzing with that story for a while. He was a bit lacking, but he was fun.”

“Yes, you said you were close to Pan.”

“Close? He was just one of my lackeys. Pathetically getting eaten by a human. Are you talking about him?”

“That’s right.”

“Oh, I’m a bit interested in that. But wasn’t intervention prohibited by the Administration [the governing body that oversees the constellations and the Tower]?”

“That’s right. That’s why I called my son.”

“When did you start calling me son? It’s cringy. You seem to be mistaken, but even if I’m disowned, I still belong to Olympus. I can’t do it.”

Recently, Pan, a constellation belonging to Olympus, was defeated by a mere lower-level player who wasn’t even a constellation, and fell from his position.

However, even so, it was ultimately Pan’s fault.

It would have been one thing if he had just wronged a player, but he openly violated the Tower’s rules.

Perhaps because of that?

The Administration, which usually turned a blind eye to most things to maintain good relations with the constellations, came down hard.

As he thought that far, Triton, receiving Poseidon’s strange gaze, realized what Poseidon was thinking.

“Don’t tell me, are you trying to kick me out?”

“Kick you out? Just for a little while… Yes, think of it as going on a mission.”

“Father, your joke is a bit much. You know that my divine status will drop if I leave Olympus, right?”

The way to avoid the Administration’s gaze is to leave Olympus.

The restrictions the Administration placed on Se-un’s surveillance and intervention only applied to constellations belonging to Olympus.

However, the reason why no one did this, even knowing this, was because of the divine status that belonging to Olympus provided.

The moment you abandon your affiliation, which is your foundation, your divine status drops by more than half.

“Son, please. Zeus keeps pushing me, saying this is the only chance……”

“That’s your problem. I’m leaving.”

“Wa, wait!”

Even Triton, who liked to wander outside and had a lot of interest in the Tower’s affairs, couldn’t do this.

Of course, Poseidon would accept him back into Olympus as soon as the job was done, but even leaving Olympus for a short time could damage his divine status.

Triton didn’t want to take such a gamble for someone else’s problem.

However, Poseidon’s subsequent offer caught Triton’s attention.

“If you do me this favor, I’ll give you the Pearl of the White Abyss!”

“……!”

The Pearl of the White Abyss.

A rare jewel that Poseidon’s own giant clam produces only once every ten thousand years.

It was not only beautiful but also full of the power of the sea itself. Just having it nearby would slowly fill your divinity and raise your divine status itself.

Triton had been eyeing it for a long time, but it was a treasure he could only drool over due to Poseidon’s strict guard.

“Do, do I look like a fool? Pearl of the White Abyss or whatever, if I leave Olympus……”

“If you complete the mission well, Zeus has also agreed to give you a reasonable reward. You might even get a higher position beyond generations.”

“Even if I leave Olympus……”

“Ah, and Dionysus said. If you avenge the guy who destroyed his crystal cave, he’ll give you White Grape Wine……”

“Where do I need to go? I’m willing to sacrifice myself for Olympus! Father!”

The reward was too tempting to refuse.

* * *

“Two Sea Serpents on the starboard side!”

“Han-cheol, take care of the starboard side!”

“Got it.”

“A group is following us at the stern!”

“I’ll take care of the stern.”

The deeper they went, the more intense the monsters’ attacks became.

The Sea of Malseong.

The shallow coast was endlessly peaceful, but as they moved to the deeper center, the level of the monsters became infinitely high.

“The ship’s speed……”

“It seems like piranhas are sticking to us again!”

“Se-un!”

– According to the Mystery of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Giga Lightning’ is enhanced.

– According to the Mystery of the Azure Tower, the casting speed of ‘Giga Lightning’ is increased.

– According to the Mystery of the Scarlet Tower, the range of ‘Giga Lightning’ is expanded.

Kwarururung!

Most of the small sea creatures died from the lightning that spread in all directions.

Even if they didn’t die from the lightning, Kang Han-cheol and Baek-hyun used strong skills to defeat the monsters while they were paralyzed.

Perhaps because they had faced so many different monsters?

“Huh? I think the one we just caught was A-grade?”

“The corpse seems to have sunk. I wonder if it will be recognized?”

“It is! I passed!”

“Oh, congratulations.”

People began to hunt sea creatures with A-grade rarity without even realizing it.

Regardless, Se-un gave only minimal help and focused his mind on his senses again.

‘The direction is definitely right……’

Somehow, he felt a strange sensation that was familiar yet different. Rather than just the presence of monsters…….

‘Divinity?’

He felt divinity, which could be called the power of a constellation.

As if that thought wasn’t a mistake, the Saintly Relic had been ringing softly since earlier, guarding the surroundings.

‘But, why?’

Constellations often hide something with their divinity inside trials.

Just like Khepri, right?

The purpose is diverse, but it wasn’t impossible to find traces of constellations in trials.

Not only now but even Se-un before his regression had found such cases.

But, it’s different now.

There’s no benefit in hiding something in this dangerous open sea, even at the cost of eroding their divinity.

– The constellation, ‘Serpent Coiling Around Envy,’ senses an unusual energy through the currents.

– The constellation, ‘Crow Bowing Its Head,’ shakes its beak, asking how things never stop happening around you.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ straightens his tableware, saying something big is coming.

At that moment, the monsters that had been swarming until just now disappeared in an instant.

The Sea Serpents that spewed water with fierce eyes, the piranhas that endured Se-un’s lightning and stubbornly bit at the ship, disappeared into the sea as if they were lying.

However, just before they disappeared, Se-un could see it.

‘Fear.’

The identity of the emotion in their eyes.

The guys who maintained fierce eyes even when hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky were suddenly terrified and ran away.

It wasn’t like Se-un used the authority of fear either. Se-un was saving his strength in case of an emergency.

“What, what happened?”

“Euhahaha! Didn’t these guys finally realize my power and retreat? Hyung [older brother/term of endearment], I think the homemade freezing bomb I detonated last used its power!”

“Isn’t it a bit strange? It was like they were running away from something……”

The guild members who were fighting the monsters also tilted their heads.

At that moment, the anomaly began to appear in earnest.

Swuaaaaa-!!

The already rough waves became even rougher.

Each one easily exceeded 10m, and the name tsunami was more suitable than wave.

“Damn it, what! Suddenly!”

“Quickly grab the helm! Turn the ship so it doesn’t capsize!”

“Everyone grab something around you! It’s over if you fall!”

Saying it’s over if you fall isn’t just a threat.

If you fall into this rough sea, even Choi Su-chang would have a hard time finding you.

If the number of people falling into the sea exceeds five, it may be difficult to save them all even if Se-un joins in.

Thud!

A tsunami hit the Diablo Guild’s ship.

It was fortunate that it was large because it was based on the keel of the Pirate King’s ship, which was the largest among the ships on Pirate Island, otherwise, the ship would have sunk with this one collision.

“Ugh! Crazy, how is this tsunami so high!”

The height of the tsunami exceeded the height of the ship.

Salty seawater crashed onto the deck, and all the guild members had to get soaked in seawater.

The ship tilted momentarily.

It would have been dangerous if it weren’t for the balance magic circle Se-un had engraved on the keel.

“Another one is coming!”

Thud!

Tsunamis kept crashing in.

The Great Shield blocked the impact, but it couldn’t completely nullify the impact because the sea itself where the ship was floating was swaying.

At this rate, even the Diablo Guild’s ship was in danger.

Besides, that wasn’t all the problem.

“Gyarrrrrr-”

A low-pitched roar spread through the dark sky.

At the same time, huge tentacles rose around the ship.

The long tentacles had suckers the size of human torsos attached to them, and everyone could easily recognize their identity.

“K, Kraken?”

“It’s on a different level than what we saw before?”

The Diablo Guild members had encountered a Kraken once before.

No, it’s embarrassing to even say they encountered it.

While crossing the bridge to avoid the disaster in the 28th floor trial, Se-un burned the Kraken with lightning magic as soon as it appeared far away in the sea.

However, even if it was far away, the Kraken that appeared now was on a different level.

Each tentacle was larger than the ship’s mast, and every time the tentacle wriggled, the currents twisted and whirlpools formed.

The Kraken they saw in the 28th floor trial could be said to be a baby.

‘It’s a mythical one.’

Se-un could guess its identity.

The Kraken can be seen as just a type of monster, but as a legendary sea monster that is its origin, the true Kraken is different.

It doesn’t even reach the toes of a constellation, but it is a real Kraken that has accumulated people’s fears and formed a myth to possess great power.

Of course, such a being would not normally appear on the 39th floor.

Besides, he feels divinity from it.

I can definitely tell when I feel it up close.

‘Is it one of the constellations of Olympus?’

I don’t know exactly who it is, but it had a similar energy to the divinity that Pan emitted.

The Saintly Relic was ringing strongly as if to prove it.

However, Olympus is in a state where it cannot intervene with Se-un due to the Administration.

How did they send such a monster?

I was curious, but now was not the time to worry about that.

If the ship capsizes, the battle is over.

‘First, the waves.’

The problem right now was the sea, not the Kraken.

With the ship in this state, he couldn’t have a proper battle.

“Park Jung-pil!”

“Uwaaaaa! Hyung, save me!!”

Se-un grabbed Park Jung-pil, who was flying around grabbing the mast’s rope on the floor.

Ignoring the fact that he was showing tears of emotion, saying ‘Hyung!!’, Se-un rummaged through his arms and took out an item.

A conch shell trumpet. It was a reward Park Jung-pil had obtained after conquering the treasure island called ‘Golden Sand Beach’.

“Hyung, why that…… Uwaaaack!”

As soon as Se-un let go of the hand holding the rope that Park Jung-pil was hanging on, Park Jung-pil flew into the air again while hanging on the rope.

Regardless, Se-un stood on the deck and brought the conch shell to his mouth.

– The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.

[ Sound Containing Waves, Bukinum ]

– A conch trumpet that Triton, also known as the ruler of the sea, is said to use to create or calm waves.

Ppuuuuuu-

The conch trumpet imbued with the power of Bukinum powerfully emitted a sound.

Although it was a trumpet, the sound was deep and majestic, reminiscent of the deep sea.

With it, the waves calmed down.

The tsunami that was exceeding 10m and reaching 20m subsided like a lie.

The Kraken wriggled its legs in embarrassment, but the sea remained still.

At that moment.

– The constellation, ‘Trumpeter Calling the Waves,’ is greatly embarrassed, asking why you have that trumpet!
