Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 101

Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 105

-The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ is showing interest.

In truth, it was half a gamble.

Even if Se-un was a Regressor, the Master Key was just an item that floated around in rumors.

He wasn’t even sure what it looked like, let alone if the Master Key actually existed.

And now, the time had finally come to confirm the identity of the ‘Small Key.’

“A beautiful key. But doesn’t the size seem completely off?”

The lock was the size of an adult male’s head. In comparison, the key Se-un was holding was the size of a pinky finger, befitting the name ‘Small Key.’

Considering how keys work, the size difference didn’t make sense.

Yet, Se-un inserted the key into the keyhole of the lock.

And then…

*Click*-

A smile spread across Se-un’s face.

The moment he inserted the key, he felt as if it fit perfectly, despite the difference in size.

Immediately, he moved his wrist, and *clank*! A sound of something fitting into place echoed.

“Ooh, amazing!”

The lock opened as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

How long had it been closed? As the door opened, the seams of the floor and ceiling scraped, creating a grating sound.

-The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ widens its eyes.

-The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ exclaims that if it’s *that* key, it could raid the countless vaults sleeping in the Tower.

-The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ begins to recall the key’s uses.

As the door opened, a reddish light flowed out instead of light magic.

Looking inside, several torches hung on the walls, flickering and illuminating the space.

Judging by the state of the door, it seemed like it hadn’t been maintained for a long time, but seeing the torches lit suggested they were magically sustained.

“Could there be monsters inside?”

“Probably not.”

Before his Regression, Se-un was a famous explorer who had found countless hidden spaces.

Just by looking around, he could tell that this room was someone’s residence.

And usually, it was extremely rare to place traps or guard dogs in a residence.

Therefore, Se-un stepped into the room without hesitation, with only minimal caution.

‘This is……’

Who on earth used to live here?

Looking around, there were displays of various insect specimens, such as butterfly wings and beetle shells.

On what appeared to be a laboratory table, a monster’s corpse was rotting, and the bookshelves were filled with books written in incomprehensible words.

“Oh! Ores! Is that the reward?”

Go Chang-seok’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the pile of ore in the corner of the room.

It was an excellent ore that didn’t belong on this floor, but Se-un didn’t think it was the reward.

First, he took out a book, but it was written in a language that was difficult for Se-un to interpret, even with his extensive knowledge.

Se-un, who had mastered most of the languages in the Tower, couldn’t help but be taken aback.

At that moment, Mamon, who had been showing interest in the key, sent a message.

-The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ stifles a laugh, saying it’s been a while since it’s seen the language of the Verhel Continent.

Mamon was the type who wouldn’t pay attention unless it was a treasure he wanted, but for some reason, he gave Se-un a hint without any compensation.

It was a bit strange, but Se-un gratefully accepted the hint.

‘Verhel Continent?’

It was a name he didn’t remember from his Regression.

However, he *had* heard the name after his Regression.

Why?

-The Treasure Vault of Greed has been opened.

[History of the Verhel Continent]

– A history book of the Verhel Continent, once a more beautiful place than any other, but ruined by the Great War.

He had looked through the list of treasures in the vault every night to use the necessary treasures in the necessary situations. The name of the Verhel Continent was among them.

He didn’t know why something like this was in Mamon’s treasure vault, but Se-un immediately used it.

Then, knowledge of the already fallen continent flooded into his mind.

Twelve races living in harmony with nature. The Demon Gods and Celestial Gods they worshiped. The spread of war due to conflict, etc.

‘Demon God, like Mamon?’

Various pieces of knowledge came to mind, but Se-un soon shook his head.

He had used the history book, but what he needed now wasn’t the history of a continent he didn’t even know.

‘I see it.’

The language of the Verhel Continent.

As expected, as soon as he used the treasure, the difficult letters written in the book began to be interpreted little by little.

[How to Breed Evil Insects]

[Growth Accelerator]

[On the Leader of the Colony]

[The Rising Sun God]

…

Most of it was about insects.

Without even opening the book, he could tell the occupation of the person who lived here.

Insect breeder.

For some reason, he seemed to be collecting and breeding various insects here.

As he took out several books, he saw a small drawer under the bookshelf.

It also had a small keyhole.

*Click.*

In front of Se-un’s key, which had already revealed the power of the Master Key, it opened easily without any resistance.

“This is……”

[Stone Flute]

Category: Musical Instrument

Grade: B-

Description: A specially crafted instrument to summon something (can be used in the Trial of the 5th Floor)

Ability: ??

A musical instrument made of stone.

He wondered where he would use something like this, but as soon as he read the item description, he could figure it out.

‘It’s a quest item.’

Very rarely, these quest items could be found while solving trials.

If used well, they could be used to obtain significantly higher rewards than other players or pass through special branching points.

Looking at the resident’s occupation and books, the thing that the stone flute summons would likely be a type of insect. Perhaps a hidden boss monster on the 5th floor.

“Did you find anything?”

“Ah, yes. What about you, Elder?”

“Hehe, I found some pretty useful ores. I already want to make a new piece with them; my body is itching [a common expression meaning ‘I’m eager to get started’].”

“Then let’s get out of here.”

Now that he had found the hidden piece, there was no reason to stay here any longer.

Se-un put the stone flute into his subspace pocket with a satisfied expression, and then left with Go Chang-seok.

* * *

Since he already knew the location of the exit, there was nothing difficult after leaving the hidden room.

The monsters continued to attack, but they were no match for Se-un and Go Chang-seok.

Se-un didn’t hold back his mana and inner energy, pouring it out as he ran in a straight line.

Before long, they were able to reach the end of the cave.

-You have successfully completed the 4th floor trial ‘Passing Through the Cave.’

-Calculating contribution points…….

-Time remaining: 7 hours 52 minutes

-Number of monsters hunted: 103.

-Hidden quest ‘Hidden Door’ completed.

…

-Contribution points earned based on performance will be distributed.

-Total accumulated contribution points: 254,500 points

-Congratulations! You have passed the 4th floor trial in 1st place.

-You have earned 100,000 points as a reward.

Indeed, it seemed that there were players who had found the hidden door, but none who had opened it and entered.

He earned more contribution points than he expected and was able to confidently take first place on this floor as well.

“Hehe, 1st place. Amazing.”

“What about you, Elder?”

“I’m not in the rankings like you, but I also received a generous amount of contribution points. To be honest, I didn’t do much. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“If you need anything, please tell me anytime. I’ll support you.”

“Hehe, I appreciate the thought.”

At the end of the cave.

Before ascending to the next floor, he steadied himself and activated both his dantian [energy center] and circle [magic core] at the same time.

After leisurely recovering all of his mana, he turned his head and saw Go Chang-seok tending to his equipment.

It seemed to take a little time because the sap of the insects was on his hammer, shield, and armor.

“Give me yours too. If you don’t wipe this off quickly, the durability will deteriorate quickly.”

“Ah, I’ll do mine.”

“Are you going to take away this old man’s only pleasure?”

“Haha……. Then, I’ll ask you for a favor.”

“Hoo. I’ve thought about it before, but it’s a really great weapon.”

Go Chang-seok’s eyes sparkled as soon as he received Durendal.

While he was tending to the equipment, Se-un opened the clan chat.

As time passed, messages from those who had passed the trial were starting to appear.

[Park Jung-pil: Hyungniiiiiiim! [A drawn-out, affectionate way of saying ‘Brother’!]]

[Han Areum: Ah, I almost died because of this oppa! [Older brother/male friend] He told me to just follow him and went ahead, then he touched a spider web and ran away as soon as the spiders came out!]

[Park Jung-pil: No, that’s not it……]

[Han Areum: What do you mean it’s not! If I hadn’t blocked the path, we both would have died!]

[Park Jung-pil: I’m sorry……]

[Han Da-un: I saw that spider too!]

[Han Areum: Did you block the path too, unnie? [Older sister/female friend]]

[Han Da-un: No, Han-cheol oppa just stepped on it and beat it to death like a bug?]

[Han Areum: Ah, the difference in teammates!]

The difficulty of this trial was even higher than the 3rd floor.

If they found the right path, it wouldn’t be a problem, but if they found the wrong path, they would have to face the spiders.

Even if that wasn’t the case, the fork in the road wasn’t just one place.

Se-un had found the path well through his senses, but even after that, there were more than three forks in the road.

In his memories from before his Regression, there were quite powerful enemies or traps in those places, though not as much as the spiders.

Therefore, he thought that there would be some damage.

[Lee Il-jung: It would have been really dangerous without the medicine. Ha-neul, thank you so much.]

[Jang Do-young: I survived thanks to the medicine too!]

[Lee Ha-neul: I’m glad! I’ll have to make a little more next time.]

Was it thanks to the medicine that Lee Ha-neul had distributed? There were people who complained about the difficulty, but no one seemed to be seriously injured.

However, there were people who were worried about the next trial because of the increasing difficulty of the trials.

‘Well, the difficulty of the next trial actually jumps up a lot.’

Se-un was deliberately looking for strong monsters to fight, but other people didn’t have to do that.

The trials were just about crossing rivers, climbing mountains, and passing through caves, so even if they faced strong monsters, they could just run away.

However, the next trial was different.

The trial itself was about fighting monsters, so they had to pick up their weapons even if they were scared.

In that sense, it was a good reaction for people to worry about the next trial and be nervous.

At least it would be better than being caught off guard while being complacent that it was still manageable.

“Okay, it’s done! The sap hardened, so it took a little longer than I thought.”

“It looks brand new?”

“Hehe, it has to be this much.”

Durendal, which he received from Go Chang-seok, was sparkling.

It wasn’t just the sap that was cleaned off, but the blade and handle were also cleaned, making it feel newer than before.

He swung it lightly once, and maybe it was just his imagination, but the sword felt lighter than before.

“Are we going right away?”

“Yes. Let’s rest after we finish the next trial.”
