Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 104

“Hey! Are you alright?”

As soon as the Stone Lava collapsed, Go Chang-seok rushed over, anxious.

Having exhausted all his inner energy and mana, Se-un was sprawled out on the hard floor.

Seeing Se-un like that, Go Chang-seok took out a medicine bottle from his pocket.

The medicine bottle Lee Ha-neul had distributed to everyone.

Since there was only one bottle per person, it was a medicine that could be called a second life in preparation for any unforeseen situation. He opened the lid without hesitation and put it to Se-un’s mouth.

“I’m fine… Ugh.”

“You don’t look fine to anyone. Just drink it.”

Although the medicine manufactured by Lee Ha-neul was excellent, Se-un’s condition was closer to mana depletion.

Taking medicine to treat injuries would be meaningless.

However, because Go Chang-seok’s eyes were so serious, Se-un drank all the medicine without complaint.

A unique, bitter taste of medicinal herbs filled his mouth, and he felt the accumulated fatigue gradually receding.

“I knew you were strong, but to knock down that monster in one blow! I was really surprised.”

“Haha……”

“Are other people fighting that guy too? Even so, it would be impossible for anyone but you to handle that guy…”

“No. The others only have to deal with the ogre we saw at first.”

“I guess so? So you deliberately summoned that guy.”

“That’s right.”

To be honest, even Se-un didn’t expect the Stone Lava to appear, but what did it matter?

Good was good; he was able to defeat him somehow.

Since he had dealt with such a bizarre guy, the reward for the trial would surely be higher.

‘The sword…….’

Se-un looked down at Durendal.

The radiance that had been emitted when the power of Excalibur permeated it had disappeared, and instead, dry mud was falling off.

He was curious, but as expected, the power of Noble Phantasms applied to equipment, unlike when used directly, seemed to have time or power limitations.

‘Then, what if all of Durendal’s seals are released?’

Durendal, which boasts B-grade performance because the seal is not fully released now, will have stronger durability than it does now if the seal is released.

Then, wouldn’t it be able to withstand the power of Noble Phantasms sufficiently?

If that were the case, he would be able to use any Noble Phantasm related to swords without worrying about durability.

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is drooling with his mouth wide open.

Meanwhile, Beelzebub was waiting for Se-un to use the authority of gluttony.

Since the fragments of the Stone Lava were blocking the path to the top, and he had to clear them away anyway, Se-un manifested the authority without hesitation.

Crunch, crunch!

Sharp teeth appeared, and a different sound than usual was heard.

That’s because the skin of the Stone Lava was made of rock.

Still, the teeth did not give up and crushed the rock into small pieces and swallowed it.

He swallowed rocks that were not very large without even chewing.

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is happy, saying that the crunchy texture is excellent.

A crunchy texture, not even crispy.

Perhaps Beelzebub was the only one who used such expressions.

Due to the Stone Lava’s size and solid body, it took longer than expected for the authority to finish.

“Those teeth are amazing every time I see them.”

Just as Go Chang-seok was blankly admiring the teeth, the remnants of the Stone Lava that had been blocking the summit finally disappeared.

-You have devoured ‘Stone Lava.’

-Absorbing nutrients, you acquire ‘Stone Skin.’

“Huh?”

Drrrrr!

Naturally, he expected his stats to increase as usual, but breaking expectations, something completely new was absorbed into Se-un’s body.

Gray light flickered on his skin, hardening like a rock.

When he raised his hand, it made a sound like grinding stone, but fortunately, his skin regained its original color over time.

Stone Skin.

It seemed to be a concept like body strengthening rather than a skill.

It was a power that greatly increased defense just by staying still, an incomparably good power compared to simply increasing stats.

“What was that just now? Your skin was hardening like a stone.”

“I guess it’s a reward for catching that guy.”

“Oh, that’s amazing.”

In fact, it wasn’t a reward in the traditional sense.

It was a power that no one could have obtained if it weren’t for Se-un, who possessed the authority of gluttony.

While he was satisfied with his hardened skin, an unexpected constellation message popped up.

-The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ belatedly checks on his dead pet beetle and screams.

-The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ quickly searches around you to find even the corpse of his pet beetle.

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ burps.

-The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ screams so loudly that the sun shakes.

‘The One Who Rolls the Sun?’

It was a constellation Se-un remembered. That’s because he was one of the three sun gods symbolizing Egypt.

Although he was lower in rank than ‘Ra,’ the sun god of noon, his rank was known to be at the level of a chief god.

Such a constellation suddenly appeared, mentioning a pet beetle.

Without much thought, he could find the answer.

‘Was Stone Lava Kephri’s [Egyptian god of the morning sun] pet beetle?’

Se-un blinked at the completely unexpected situation.

Why would he hide such a precious pet beetle in a place like this, to the point of causing such a fit?

At that moment, the lock on the door where he found the stone flute came to mind.

‘Even with the compass of journey, I couldn’t find the key to that place.’

A room impossible to open. And the stone flute hidden there. Finally, the trial site changed and turned into a place called ‘Jamgon Mountain.’

All of those things connected in his head.

‘Did Kephri put Stone Lava here to grow it?’

This interpretation made sense.

So, he recalled the knowledge in ‘The History of the Verhel Continent’ that he used to interpret books in the room.

‘As expected.’

The names of the celestial gods and demon gods written in the history book were the god of sunrise, ‘Kephri,’ and…….

-The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ sneers, saying that it was indeed that dung beetle’s.

-The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ hears the crow’s laughter and screams in astonishment, asking how you knew this place.

The demon god of greed, Mammon.

‘So, that’s why he gave me the hint.’

Perhaps that was the reason why he told Se-un in the room that the language of the book was from the Verhel Continent.

The more he understood the knowledge of the history book, the more convinced he became.

But what could he do?

He couldn’t revive the already dead Stone Lava, so Se-un could only watch their war of nerves.

-The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun,’ vows revenge, saying that he will never let this go.

-The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ continues to sneer, saying that a bug is just a bug no matter how much it struggles.

‘No…….’

Se-un couldn’t help but sigh at Mammon’s reaction.

No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t seem like Kephri would go directly to the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons to take revenge on Mammon.

Perhaps, instead, he would try to harass Se-un using some method.

By using his apostles or believers.

‘Well, even if I had known, I wouldn’t have let him live.’

If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it?

Se-un confidently raised his head.

Before long, Kephri’s messages no longer appeared, as if their quarrel had ended.

-The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ praises your actions, saying that it was fun thanks to you.

“Please give me a heads up next time.”

-The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ nods its beak, saying that good is good.

Se-un, who sighed softly at Mammon’s irresponsible answer, got up from his seat.

Since he had arrived at Jamgon Mountain, the main site of the trial, there might be additional hidden pieces hidden, but without the compass of journey now, it didn’t seem like he could find anything by wasting time.

Besides, since Stone Lava was Kephri’s pet beetle, the reward contribution would be enormous.

Judging that he would not miss the 1st place in the ranking with this much, Se-un climbed towards the summit of Jamgon Mountain.

“The place has changed, and it’s definitely noticeable.”

“That’s right. Even the scenery is different.”

“That’s what I’m saying. It looked blurry like it was foggy before, but now there’s no better sight.”

Se-un and Go Chang-seok admired the scenery from the top of the mountain.

To the left, there was a horizon made of jagged mountain ranges, and to the right, there was a horizon made of the sea.

It was a spectacle that made him understand why people on Earth went hiking.

‘Is it a little higher?’

The top of the mountain he climbed before his regression.

His memory was hazy because it was so long ago, but somehow it felt higher now than it was then.

As he stood on the highest rock where there was no more to climb, a cool breeze cooled his sweat.

And…….

-You have successfully completed the 5th floor trial ‘Ruler of the Mountain.’

-Calculating contribution points…….

-Time remaining: 8 hours 47 minutes

-Hidden quest ‘Stone Flute’ completed.

-Hidden monster ‘Stone Lava’ defeated.

…

-Total accumulated contribution points 400,000 points

-Congratulations! You have passed the 5th floor trial in 1st place.

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

-You have achieved an amazing feat and earned 100,000 points as a reward.

“Haha, thanks to you, I’m even getting contribution points in the hundreds of thousands.”

The contribution points earned from this trial were about twice as high as those of other trials.

In addition, the 1st place reward was combined with the achievement reward, so Se-un’s contribution points quickly exceeded 2 million.

As the trial ended, a selection window appeared to move on to the next trial as usual.

“There’s no break time. I was secretly hoping for it.”

Rest stops in the tower exist every 10 floors. Until then, it was a repetition of trials, as Go Chang-seok said.

However, there was one way for players belonging to a clan to gather together and take a proper rest.

It was one of the benefits of the clan that Se-un, who had mostly acted alone before his regression, only learned about after reaching the middle floors of the tower.

‘Clan upgrade.’

[Increase clan maximum capacity]

[Increase clan attack power]

[Increase clan defense power]

…

When Se-un recalled the system menu as the clan leader, various items appeared before his eyes.

It was a menu that could only be recalled after conquering at least the 5th floor.

There were many attractive items, but this was not what he was looking for now.

‘Here it is.’

[Create clan-exclusive residence]

Clan-exclusive residence.

It was a space that players could enter regardless of where they were.

Of course, there were restrictions such as only being able to enter after one theme was over, but the clan residence had performance that was worth considering those restrictions.

The problem was the price.

-You have selected to create a clan-exclusive residence. Consumes 1,000,000 points. Are you sure?

A whopping 1 million points.

It was a level where Se-un had to invest about half of his contribution points.

It was a price that other players could never afford at the point of reaching the 5th floor, but…….

“Of course.”

-A clan-exclusive residence is being created.

It was not a difficult price for Se-un.

Without hesitation, he created the residence, and a million points disappeared in an instant.

[Once the 5th floor trial is over, select to move to the clan-exclusive residence in the system menu immediately.]

After leaving a short message on the clan chat, Se-un entered the clan residence with Go Chang-seok.
