Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 108

Stole the Demon God’s Armory – Episode 112

Episode 112

Immediately after the trial on the 6th floor began, Yoo Seo-ah started moving to find her companions.

‘I should be able to get a good view from that hill.’

The highest hill in the area.

Finding her companions was more important to her than finding an oasis, so she headed straight for the hill.

Soon after, the monster attacks began.

Swish!

Dozens of fins appeared above the sand.

They looked like a pack of sharks hunting prey in the sea.

-Player Yoo Seo-ah uses ‘Tarantula’s Second Leg’.

Slash!

Two Desert Sharks jumped up simultaneously.

It was a threatening attack, but Yoo Seo-ah used her unique, sharp dual swordsmanship to evade the attacks and inflict long wounds on them.

She couldn’t deal a critical blow, but her sword was imbued with the poison she received from ‘Baal,’ so it was only a matter of time before they died.

-The constellation, ‘Spider Who Wears a Crown,’ advises that your movements are too clumsy and to pay attention to your footing.

‘But, the sand……!’

In fact, Yoo Seo-ah’s combat power was among the best of the players on this floor.

As such, Desert Sharks were no match for her.

So why was she struggling against the monsters? It was because of the terrain.

To wield dual swords effectively, she needed unique and flashy footwork, but there was no solid ground to step on here.

Wherever she moved, her feet sank into the sand. So it was difficult to use her footwork, and the power of her dual swordsmanship was greatly reduced.

‘I’ll have to use my potential.’

Yoo Seo-ah thought of her latent abilities. [Potential refers to a player’s hidden abilities that can be unlocked and utilized for increased power and skills.]

She hadn’t yet fully grasped how to handle her potential, but the longer she dragged this out, the more her stamina would drain.

The Desert Sharks were also waging a tedious war of attrition to deplete her stamina.

However, that didn’t mean they were just standing by.

The moment she focused to unleash her potential, a gap appeared.

Whoosh!

“Kuaaa!”

A Desert Shark jumped up, aiming for her back.

Before she could panic, she drew her sword, but another Desert Shark was baring its teeth beneath her feet.

A moment of carelessness led to a desperate situation.

The other Desert Sharks also realized this was their chance and jumped up simultaneously.

And at that moment.

-Through internal energy [Internal energy refers to the vital energy or life force that circulates within the body, often cultivated through martial arts practices.], the third form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Strike, is enhanced.

-According to the mysteries of the Violet Cloud Divine Art, heat is added to the martial art.

A wolf resembling a flame, burning hotly, swept around her.

The Desert Sharks, who were certain of victory and had their mouths open, were instantly covered in blood and fell onto the hot sand.

A very familiar attack.

Yoo Seo-ah immediately recognized the identity of the companion who had protected her.

“Se-un!”

* * *

“I never thought I’d get Se-un as a companion.”

“Right. Should we call this a coincidence?”

Se-un, who returned Durandal to its scabbard, looked at Yoo Seo-ah.

The Diablo Clan alone had nearly thirty members.

Among them, a companion was randomly selected, and it happened to be Yoo Seo-ah.

He didn’t know whether to call this good luck or bad luck.

Because.

‘If it’s Yoo Seo-ah, she would have overcome the trial without my help.’

Her power was so strong that Se-un didn’t need to step in.

He only helped just in case, but even if he had left her alone, she wouldn’t have been seriously injured.

“Are you hurt?”

“I’m okay. Se-un came just at the right moment.”

“What happened? There were a lot of them, but they weren’t that strong.”

“That’s…….”

Yoo Seo-ah looked down.

Even though she was just standing still, her feet were half-buried in the sand.

As soon as he saw that, Se-un knew why she was having a hard time.

“Was the footwork difficult?”

“Yes. My feet kept sinking, so I panicked…….”

-The constellation, ‘Spider Who Wears a Crown,’ shakes its head, saying you are still lacking.

Well, it was only natural.

How often do Koreans step on the desert in the first place?

Se-un was somewhat familiar with it through his pre-regression experience, but Yoo Seo-ah probably didn’t even know how to walk properly on the sand.

‘Since it’s something she had to experience anyway.’

But didn’t they say that a crisis is also an opportunity?

Se-un thought that moving in the desert would be good training for Yoo Seo-ah, so he taught her how to step on the sand.

It was a method of walking with the widest possible area of the foot so that the foot would not sink.

Se-un added a new instruction there.

“From now on, keep loading internal energy into your legs.”

“Even when it’s not a combat situation?”

“Just walking without sinking into the sand by loading internal energy will be enough training.”

-The constellation, ‘Spider Who Wears a Crown,’ nods, saying it’s a plausible training method.

“But if my internal energy runs out, what about the battle…….”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the battle.”

“……Okay.”

Maintaining internal energy consistently was very difficult. However, it was something that any player who handled internal energy had to learn.

This opportunity was needed to make her familiar with not only footwork but also handling internal energy.

No matter what anyone said, she was the leader of the Diablo Clan.

To lead people, that much power had to follow.

“Then, shall we go?”

“Yes!”

* * *

At that time, there was a party that joined faster than anyone else as soon as they challenged the trial on the 6th floor, and was moving faster than anyone else.

Exactly.

“Uwaaaagh!”

“Ah, why does Oppa [Oppa is a Korean term used by females to refer to older brothers or close male friends.] keep getting caught!”

“That’s what I should be saying!”

It was Han A-reum and Park Jung-pil.

Was it the system’s mischief? The two were on the same team again, following the trials on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors.

And behind them, dozens of monsters were running with fierce momentum.

The reason the two were able to join in the first place was that Park Jung-pil was running away with those monsters and ran into Han A-reum.

Thanks to that, Han A-reum was forced to run away with Park Jung-pil.

“Ah, do something!”

“How can I deal with these things when I don’t even have Hyeong-nim [Hyeong-nim is a Korean term used to refer to an older brother or a respected senior male figure.]! Ugh, if only I had Jeok-rang!”

Unfortunately, Jeok-rang, which Se-un had gifted him, was not recognized as Park Jung-pil’s property, so he could not bring it to the trial.

They had run away this far, so they should have let them go, but the monsters were chasing them to the end of hell.

“Ah, I don’t know! Run away alone!”

“Uwaaaagh, are you abandoning me! No! Let’s die together even if we die!”

“Ah, seriously!”

Han A-reum thought that they would both be in danger if they continued like this, so she tried to separate from Park Jung-pil, but Park Jung-pil clung to Han A-reum until the end.

She was annoyed that there was such a person, but now was not the time to be annoyed.

‘There must be a way…….’

Park Jung-pil looked like that, but his stamina was very good.

On the other hand, Han A-reum was not confident in her endurance. So she had to come up with a way to deal with those monsters before her stamina ran out.

‘It’s impossible to use siege weapons here.’

Even if she took out siege weapons, she wouldn’t be able to properly aim at the enemy in the current situation.

She wanted to throw small bullets and inflate their size to sweep away the enemy, as she had seen in a cartoon someday, but her ability had a limitation called ‘loss of kinetic energy.’

No matter how much she picked something up and threw it, returning it to its original size, it would only lose its kinetic energy and fall back into place.

So the enemy wouldn’t just stand still and take it…….

‘Ah!’

After repeating her worries, she rummaged through her pocket as if a good idea had come to mind.

In her hand, taken out of her pocket, was a bullet made for siege weapons.

It is impossible to hit the enemy by losing kinetic energy.

But what if the enemy runs up and bumps into it on their own?

Kugugu!

“Keong?”

As soon as she threw the bullet, it returned to its original huge size.

Five bullets clumsily blocked the two from behind.

In normal cases, the enemy would not just stand still and take this attack, but it was different now.

For some reason, the monsters went crazy when they saw Park Jung-pil.

Like the ogre they experienced on the 5th floor, rational judgment becomes difficult.

As she planned, the monsters were flustered but couldn’t control their speed…….

Bang!

Kwagwang!

They crashed their heads into the 2m diameter bullet made of rock and died on the spot.

The fast ones were crushed to death under the giant bullets.

-The constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ praises the contractor, saying it’s a great way to use it.

Amazing utilization.

It was a method that she would never have realized if she hadn’t been with Park Jung-pil, but.

“Ah, why do I have to be in charge of the attack!”

“Hyeong-niiiiim!”

Since she didn’t want this situation in the first place, it was inevitable that she felt wronged instead of proud.

* * *

“Are you okay?”

“……Not yet. This is harder than I thought.”

“Everything is difficult at first. Maybe, once you get used to it, it will become as natural as breathing.”

Yoo Seo-ah was a thorough hard worker.

From the moment she accepted Se-un’s training, she was sweating profusely but did not let go of the internal energy in her legs.

There was no visible difference on the outside, but this was truly amazing.

Maintaining internal energy while walking was easier said than done, it was like teaching a baby who had just learned to crawl how to walk.

“Walking is one thing, but it’s hot.”

“Because it’s a desert.”

“Se-un doesn’t seem to be hot at all? He’s hardly sweating.”

Is that so? Only then did Se-un realize that he hardly felt the heat.

It wasn’t the help of equipment, nor was it the use of magic.

Feeling doubtful, Se-un soon felt a hot energy burning in his stomach and realized the reason.

‘It was because of the Yang energy.’

Before challenging the trial, he had trained ‘Violet Cloud Divine Art’ to build up internal energy in his residence. It seemed that his body had become accustomed to the hot energy due to the Yang energy accumulated at that time.

Rather, the hotter it was, the more active his internal energy felt than usual.

‘Come to think of it, Violet Cloud Divine Art was used naturally when I used the Blood Wolf Sword Technique earlier.’

Perhaps, due to the nature of Yang energy, it exerts greater power in hot terrain.

Thinking that way, he felt sorry for Yoo Seo-ah for no reason.

Unlike Se-un, she had to endure not only the training method but also the heat.

If this continued, the training might be hindered by the heat, so Se-un prepared new magic.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Temperature ]

– A temperature control magic developed through joint research between the Fire Tower and the Water Tower in the colorless Magic Tower.

Saaa-

As the magic manifested, a chilly cold air formed around Yoo Seo-ah.

Temperature.

It seemed like a simple magic that only controlled the temperature, but it was a high-level magic that mixed the operating methods of the Fire Tower and the Water Tower.

It was at a level that could only be used above the 5th circle.

The good thing was that if the range was well controlled, the amount of mana used was not that large.

If it was used exclusively for her, it seemed that she could endure it enough to cross the desert.

“Wow! How did you do that? It’s cool!”

“It’s magic. I’ll keep it going while we go, so just focus on your legs.”

“Don’t tell me you’ve been using this alone until now?”

“No, I just…….”

“Hehe, just kidding. Just kidding.”

Her tone became much lighter, perhaps because the heat had disappeared.

Se-un scratched his cheek as if embarrassed, wondering if he had reacted too seriously.

“More than that, how do you know which way to go?”

“The sun rises in the east, right? So if you move in the opposite direction of the sun, you can move.”

“Ah, that’s right. I couldn’t think of the obvious.”

“You just have to focus on training. If you had focused on the trial, you would have found out right away.”

“Um, but isn’t the direction a little different?”

She was right.

In fact, the place Se-un was heading was not perfectly west, but a subtly different direction.

At this rate, they would be late in arriving at their destination.

However, of course, Se-un also knew that fact.

Se-un’s goal was to find hidden pieces on each floor.

Even now.

“There’s a place to look around before we get to the oasis.”

A hidden piece that he had accidentally discovered before his regression. No, a place that was more like a trap than a hidden piece.

He was heading towards the Antlion’s Pit.
