Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 114

“Do you know about this trial?”

“Huh? No, that’s not important right now……”

“You don’t know, do you?”

“……That’s right. It wasn’t in the 7th floor trial manual either.”

“But judging by your reaction, the 7th floor administrator seems quite flustered?”

“If it weren’t for the system’s restrictions, the 7th floor administrator would have come down immediately.”

“Doesn’t something seem strange?”

“Huh?”

Seun smiled broadly.

He already knew that this place was the source of the amethyst, a material for making Dionysus’s goblet.

And there was one important problem here: Constellations shouldn’t directly interfere with the Tower.

Like in the 5th floor trial, they could demand something in exchange for lending a place, but this was different.

Originally, the 7th floor trial takes place in the desert. It has nothing to do with the crystal cave.

So, with what authority was Dionysus excavating amethyst by borrowing the 7th floor’s location?

Simple. The Constellation made a separate contract with the administrator.

Tuning’s eyes turned serious as he realized what Seun meant.

“……I see. That’s certainly strange. It’s strange that a place like this exists in the first place, and that it wasn’t written in the manual.”

“I found out something through my Constellations. These amethysts are materials for making Dionysus’s goblet.”

“Really?”

“Definitely.”

-Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ nods, saying they will personally vouch for it.

-Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ holds up his purple goblet, asking if it isn’t the same as the one he bought recently.

If the 7th floor administrator had come down directly, he wouldn’t have been able to say such things. If things went wrong, he would have tried to silence Seun, even if it meant violating causality.

But Tuning is different.

He doesn’t know much about the special task force, but he’s probably an independent team to watch over Seun.

If so, it’s possible to report the Tower’s corruption without being bound by the hierarchy.

“Isn’t a Constellation using a floor separately from the trial to pursue personal gain a deception against the Tower?”

“……That’s right. It violates the rules, and if the administrator is involved, it won’t be a small matter.”

Tuning’s gaze deepened.

Seun said it simply, but this was a more serious issue than he thought.

No matter how much the management office tries to maintain friendly relations with the Constellations, managing the Tower is still the management office’s job.

If that rule is broken, it’s not something that can be easily overlooked, even if the other party is a chief god-level Constellation.

“Are you still going to block my path?”

“…….”

“If the 7th floor administrator’s position becomes vacant, someone else might take that place.”

Tuning’s eyes sparkled.

He couldn’t be sure yet, but if everything Seun said was true, the 7th floor administrator would definitely be disciplined.

If that happens, he might be able to take that position.

With that, he finished his long deliberation and nodded.

“As a special officer, I will allow it. Player Jung Seun’s actions are perfectly natural as a player, so I have no authority to stop you.”

“Thank you.”

“I’ll go up right away.”

“I can do whatever I want in here, right?”

“Of course. Isn’t that the player’s right?”

Whoong!

The system message that appeared behind him widened once more, forming the shape of a door.

Tuning hurriedly turned around and entered.

Will this simply end with punishment for the administrator?

No. It’s clear that the culprit of the incident, Dionysus, will also be hit somehow.

And…….

‘I can’t end it with just this.’

Seun moved his feet into the cave to empty Dionysus’s pockets.

* * *

“Wow……”

Stepping on the amethyst fragments scattered in the passage, there were hundreds of amethysts growing inside.

It couldn’t be compared to the ordinary crystals he had seen outside.

The shimmering purple light was even more beautiful, and the mana it contained was surprisingly pure.

Yooseo-ah opened her mouth in admiration at the beautiful sight.

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

The secret of the trial has been revealed.

So, what should I do now?

If possible, he wanted to take all the amethysts he could see.

If that wasn’t possible, he was thinking of passing the amethysts on to Mammon rather than letting them fall into Dionysus’s hands.

In the meantime…….

Drrrk-

A grating sound was heard from the center of the chamber.

“Seun, what’s that……”

“He must be very cautious.”

The huge amethyst that had been erected in the center was divided into pieces, forming something.

Apparently, that was the guardian of this place.

From the cave’s monsters to the illusion barrier, the giant crystal wall blocking the chamber, and even the guardian. He must have been working hard to protect this place.

Certainly, if it hadn’t been for Seun, it would have been impossible to even reach this point.

“Tsk.”

“Tsk-”

As the guardian was taking shape, the creatures he had seen in the passage appeared around him.

The number of creatures appearing from the walls, ceiling, and floor quickly exceeded dozens.

The situation Seun had initially worried about unfolded.

However…….

‘If I just deal with these guys, it’s over.’

By now, Tuning would already be reporting the 7th floor administrator.

By that time, the news would have reached Dionysus.

As if to prove it, a Constellation message that he had never seen before appeared in front of him.

-Constellation, ‘Festival of Frenzy,’ is shocked to realize the existence of an intruder.

-Constellation, ‘Festival of Frenzy,’ threatens you to leave this place immediately.

Festival of Frenzy. It was the alias of the god of wine, Dionysus.

He was so flustered that he kept sending messages to Seun.

“Yooseo-ah, are you ready?”

“Yes!”

-Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ smiles, saying it’s a pleasing reaction.

-Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ stomps his feet, saying he feels like he has the whole world if he puts that candy in his mouth.

Seun casually ignored those words and took out Durandal.

In the meantime, the guardian had taken complete form.

Unlike the other creatures, its entire body was made of crystal, and not only its tail but also its torso was delicately crafted like a sculpture.

In addition to the tail, two huge pincers revealed their sharp appearance in front of its head.

“A scorpion…….”

“Be careful, it’ll be a different level from the creatures we’ve faced so far.”

“Yes.”

He could tell instinctively. It was a powerful enemy that shouldn’t even exist on the 7th floor.

“You take care of the creatures. I’ll deal with that one.”

“I’ll clean up quickly and join you!”

“Good.”

As expected of Yooseo-ah.

The moment she heard the instructions, she drew her twin swords without hesitation and ran towards the creatures.

Seun also gripped Durandal tightly and ran towards the scorpion.

It was an enemy as strong as the Stone Lava, but every monster has a weakness. Finding it was the priority.

-Constellation, ‘Festival of Frenzy,’ urgently orders the guardian to eliminate the intruder immediately!

“Tsk- Tsk!”

The scorpion, upon hearing Dionysus’s command, let out a bizarre roar at Seun.

The eight legs made of crystal moved with precision.

Clang!

Seun narrowly parried the pincer approaching his eyes and lowered his upper body.

Monsters made of ore like golems are supposed to be slow, but it was moving as fast as Seun.

‘Joint.’

-Through internal energy, the third form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Assault, is enhanced.

However, even if it was just looking at the stats, Seun was superior in terms of skill.

Seun, who had lowered his posture, sprang up like a spring and slashed at the monster’s joint.

The shape of a red wolf roughly bit at the relatively weak-looking joint.

The moment he thought he had landed a proper first hit thanks to the monster’s carelessness.

“Tsktsk!”

Kaang!

The moment the scorpion wriggled its body, the shape of the wolf biting the joint was torn to shreds.

There wasn’t even a small scratch on the bitten joint.

It was truly an incredible hardness.

He thought he could at least land one effective hit and start, but.

As Seun’s movements paused, the monster’s tail shot from a blind spot.

-Through internal energy, the movements of the Knee-to-Chest Breathing Technique become faster.

He didn’t even see the attack with his eyes.

The moment he sensed the faint sound of the tail moving with his enhanced hearing, Seun’s waist bent like a bow.

He barely escaped the range of the tail, but there was a long scar on the armor that the tail grazed.

The B-grade armor made by Go Chang-seok.

Even though it had abilities specialized in attack, it was an armor that boasted tremendous defense as it was made of Drake material.

Such armor had such a mark just from the tail grazing it.

If he was hit head-on, he wouldn’t be able to last long, no matter how high the grade was.

At most, two or three times.

Enduring the attacks seemed to be the limit.

Kwajik!

The tail that failed to hit its target cut through the wind and slammed into the floor.

The sharp crystal of the tail rippled once, and the floor was dyed purple and froze coldly.

No, it wasn’t ice.

Crystal.

The floor that the tail was embedded in was turning into crystal.

As the guardian of the crystal cave, it possessed a powerful crystal poison that turned enemies into crystal.

Seeing that, Seun’s thoughts changed.

With such an attack, even Go Chang-seok’s armor could never block it.

Instead of relying on defense, he had to avoid the tail’s attack unconditionally.

-Constellation, ‘Festival of Frenzy,’ urgently shouts at the guardian to eliminate the intruder quickly!

Seogeok!

Before it could even pull out its tail, it turned its body and revealed its pincers to Seun.

The extremely sharp crystal blades that made up the pincers cut through the air.

Seun dodged with surprising flexibility, bending his waist, and then distanced himself from the monster, focusing on his vision.

‘I have to find the weakness first.’

Like the other creatures, there was a high possibility that a core was located inside its body.

However, there was no use in blindly swinging the Eight Trigram Palm if he didn’t know the exact location of the core.

If possible, he wished there was a gap between the tails like the creatures, but.

“Tsk, tsktsk!”

The monster’s body was surprisingly solid.

Two layers of outer shell were added above the outer shell of the tail, thoroughly covering the gaps.

If he only considered the defense power, it was thought to be more than Stone Lava.

Seun, who judged that it would take time, used the authority of jealousy, but…….

-The eyes of jealousy begin to stare at the ‘Crystal Guardian.’

-The manifestation of authority is thwarted by the intervention of the Constellation, ‘Festival of Frenzy.’

As long as Dionysus was involved, it wasn’t easy.

‘Should I use that method?’

He didn’t want to use it unless it was unavoidable because the consumption of magic power was too great, but now was not the time to worry about that.

Magic power was concentrated in Seun’s raised hand.

Hwareuk!

Kkadeudeuk!

At the same time, blazing flames and cold ice manifested in front of both hands.
