Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 102

106. Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse (1)

-Welcome to the 5th floor trial.

-Theme: Lord of the Mountain

-Time Limit: 10 hours

-Defeat the Lord of the Mountain and reach the highest point.

The 5th floor trial began, and as I exited the cave, the first thing I saw was the blue sky.

This was the summit of the mountain, reachable only through the cave. It was the final trial of the first theme centered around the mountain.

“Hoo. The air is great. I used to climb mountains often to breathe this air.”

Go Chang-seok took a deep breath.

The cool air, unique to high altitudes, filled his chest.

Being in a poorly ventilated cave seemed to make the air feel even fresher.

Se-un calmly looked around and then took the lead, following the path ahead.

It wasn’t so much a constructed path as it was a path that seemed to have naturally formed from something large passing through.

And before long, we were able to find the ‘Lord of the Mountain,’ the subject of the trial.

“Is that it?”

“It seems so.”

The monster was sprawled out, blocking the path to the summit.

Go Chang-seok might be seeing this monster for the first time, but it was a very familiar monster to Se-un.

He had seen it not only before his regression but also during the tutorial.

“Grrr…”

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ drools, imagining the chewy texture of the sinews.

Ogre.

The first monster that comes to mind when you think of ‘strength.’

Judging by its size, it didn’t seem to be a fully grown adult, but an ogre is still an ogre. Its strength is so great that it can shatter rocks with just its fists.

‘Before the regression, I was terrified as soon as I realized that was the opponent.’

Even though I passed the tutorial, giving only two players the trial of facing an ogre was an absurd level of difficulty.

Se-un had experience fighting a starving ogre during the tutorial, but even that wasn’t a monster that was originally meant to be caught.

However, the Tower doesn’t give players completely impossible trials.

There were rocks that looked perfect for rolling down from the summit, poisonous plants growing everywhere, and cliffs hidden by the undergrowth.

The players had to explore the surroundings while the ogre was sleeping and figure out a strategy.

If they didn’t panic and calmly executed a plan, it was a trial with enough possibility.

Se-un before the regression also cleared the 5th floor in that way.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to attack right away?”

But the current Se-un didn’t need to do that.

Having already faced the starving ogre of the tutorial and its leader, ‘Krakatlak,’ an adolescent ogre was no threat.

Go Chang-seok also knew this, so he didn’t suggest any particular plan.

“Hmm…”

However, Se-un’s mind was filled with something other than the ogre.

The quest item he acquired from the previous floor, the Stone Flute.

It only said to use it on the 5th floor, but it didn’t specify whether to use it before facing the ogre or after the battle was over.

That was why he was agonizing.

However, the agonizing soon ended.

‘Well, I can just use it at different times.’

What if I blow it now and nothing special happens, and the ogre wakes up? I’ll just beat the ogre down as it is.

If necessary, I can use it during the battle and after the battle is over.

It was a method possible because he had confidence in his power.

Having finished agonizing, Se-un took out the Stone Flute from his subspace pocket.

He thought about taking out a flute score from Mammon’s warehouse, but Se-un had knowledge of the treasure ‘Rough Sea Score,’ which he had used before to play the ‘fairy-like instrument.’

The military song score didn’t seem to fit with the Stone Flute, but it didn’t matter. There was no instruction to play any particular song.

Boo-

When Se-un blew the Stone Flute, a heavy, low-pitched sound flowed out.

Go Chang-seok looked surprised at the sound, which was completely different from the usual flute sound.

The Stone Flute’s low-pitched sound went well with the Rough Sea Score, and the performance spread throughout the mountain.

And before long…….

“Ugh……?”

The ogre, who had been sprawled out, opened its eyes and got up.

Because Se-un didn’t stop playing, it was soon able to find Se-un and Go Chang-seok.

It stared blankly at Se-un for a moment, as if it hadn’t fully woken up, but soon came to its senses, drooled, and picked up the weapon next to it.

“It’s mealtime. Food has arrived!”

“I don’t know what the situation is, but you keep going! I’ll somehow block it!”

Here, the second problem of the Stone Flute was revealed.

He didn’t know when to blow the flute or how long to blow it.

Still, with the thought that he should at least complete the score once, Se-un nodded as he continued to blow the flute.

Thump!

“Food, hard! But me, strong!”

“I don’t think I can last long!”

Go Chang-seok’s strength is greater than that of an average warrior-type player.

As evidence, just by holding the Tower Shield, he was perfectly blocking the ogre’s attacks.

Fortunately, what about the ogre’s intelligence?

Instead of senselessly swinging its weapon, it would be better if it used various attack methods, such as taking away the shield or crushing it with its large size.

It was just swinging a crude wooden club at the shield as if showing off its strength.

Go Chang-seok was gradually pushed back due to the ogre’s great strength, but thanks to the superior defense of his equipment, he was not taking much damage.

‘Is this not it?’

However, Se-un could clearly see Go Chang-seok leaning on the shield and struggling.

He agonized over whether he should put down the flute and help him now.

At that moment…….

Drrrrr-

A faint vibration was felt from the ground.

At first, he thought it was a vibration caused by the ogre’s attack, but it was completely different.

It was like something was wriggling in the ground.

The vibration became more intense as the performance approached its end, and the ogre also stopped attacking and looked blank, feeling the intensified vibration.

Convinced that this was the answer, Se-un blew the Stone Flute vigorously and reached the climax.

-The Stone Larva has awakened due to the performance of the Stone Flute.

-The trial location has been changed to ‘Jamgon Mountain,’ where it was originally located.

-The theme of the trial has been changed from ‘Lord of the Mountain’ to ‘Ruler of the Mountain.’

-Defeat the Ruler of the Mountain, the Stone Larva, and reach the highest point.

“Ugh?”

Kwaaaa!

Cloudy dirt and dust spewed out from under the ogre’s feet.

Go Chang-seok hurriedly backed away, and Se-un also took the Stone Flute from his mouth and looked forward.

A long shadow of something could be seen through the dust.

Se-un, who had no intention of waiting like this, created wind with Breeze magic to blow away the dust.

“What on earth did you summon?”

What was revealed as the dust disappeared was a huge rock.

Large and small rocks were lumped together, forming a long shape, and it was wriggling as if it were alive.

As it shook its head greatly, it sent the ogre flying.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ screams as he watches his snack explode.

The ogre couldn’t even scream once and crashed into the wall and exploded.

Even if it was an adolescent, an ogre is still an ogre. The moment it killed such an ogre in one blow, it was proven how strong the monster was.

“I’m asking just in case, but is it an ally…….”

“Kaaaa-!!”

“……I don’t think so.”

It opened its mouth made of stone and let out a rough roar.

The stone powder mixed in the roar hit Go Chang-seok’s shield, and the sound of it bouncing off was unusual, as if its power was quite strong.

“Stone Larva…….”

Although it was the first time he had actually seen it, Se-un was able to know its identity because he had read various monster encyclopedias to survive.

Stone Larva.

As it appears, it was a caterpillar-shaped monster with its entire body made of rock.

Its size varies depending on its age, but seeing that its length easily exceeds 10m, it seemed to be a fully grown individual as a larva.

‘There was such a monster on the 5th floor?’

Its entire body is made of rock, so attacks don’t work well, and it’s strong, but its danger lies in its growth stage.

It is currently in the youngest stage, the larva stage, but when it pupates and transforms into its final form, its power is said to be close to that of a dragon.

Such a guy appeared on the 5th floor, so it was inevitable that Se-un was surprised.

“……Can you handle it?”

“I have to, even if I can’t.”

-The Eyes of Jealousy begin to stare at the ‘Larva Stone.’

Fortunately, even if it is an adult, it is still in the form of a larva.

If it had completed its metamorphosis into a complete form, even Se-un would have had no way to deal with it.

Even in the form of a larva, the fact that it is strong does not change, but the possibility of victory existed.

“Then I too…….”

“No, Elder, hide behind me.”

“……I’m sorry. For not being able to help.”

“Most of my equipment is Elder’s work. I’m already getting a lot of help.”

“Do your best. I’ll repair any equipment for you.”

“Yes.”

No matter how strong Go Chang-seok is among the players, it is impossible to block the Stone Larva’s attack.

It was impossible for Se-un to fight the Stone Larva while protecting him.

As Go Chang-seok stepped back, Se-un reached out his hand towards the rushing Stone Larva.

-The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.

[ Stone Wall ]

– As a defense magic of the Yellow Tower, it creates a wall made of rock to block the enemy’s attack.

Kugugugu!

Rocks rose from the floor, blocking its rush.

However, that was only once. With just one collision, a crack that was clear to the eye was created.

The Stone Wall is a magic of the Yellow Tower and boasts the highest defense power among all magics, but such magic was in such a state with just one headbutt, not even a difference in compatibility.

If I were to collide directly, my body would explode in one blow, regardless of armor or defense.

Knowing that, Se-un continued to create stone walls, keeping his distance from it instead of swinging his weapon at it.

-According to the mysteries of the Yellow Tower, the ‘Stone Wall’ becomes more sturdy.

Kukung!

After all, it would be impossible to inflict a proper blow even if I collided right now.

Weapon attack using Mammon’s treasures?

I know how strong the legendary weapons are, but even that seemed difficult to break through its overwhelming defense in one blow.

Se-un, who had used the power of various weapons so far, could know.

So, does that mean I can’t just keep avoiding it like this?

No. If it were someone else, that would be the case, but Se-un had a power that other players didn’t have.

That is, the ‘Authority of Jealousy.’

-The Eyes of Jealousy envy the sturdiness of the ‘Stone Larva.’
