Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 12

The Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown. One of the 72 Demon Kings who reign directly below the Seven Demon Gods, symbolizing the Seven Deadly Sins.

It was Veris, the 28th-ranked Demon King.

‘Veris, you say?’

Seun had become quite knowledgeable about the Evil Constellations while investigating to find Mammon’s vault. There was no way he wouldn’t know about Veris.

‘The Duke of Hell, commanding 26 legions.’

Of course, he was not comparable to a Demon God, but holding the 28th rank among the 72 Demon Kings symbolized tremendous power in itself.

Such a Constellation had begun to take an interest in the old man before him, ‘Go Chang-seok.’

‘Well, Veris would be interested.’

Many thought of Veris as a battle maniac because of his appearance as a soldier riding a red horse, but Veris’s true power lies in alchemy.

He is known to be so skilled in alchemy that he can turn almost any existing metal into gold, and his skills in handling iron are said to be comparable to Hephaestus, one of the Twelve Olympians [the most powerful gods in Greek mythology, each associated with a different aspect of life].

‘No, when it comes to weapons, he’s even better.’

While Hephaestus cares about overall balance and beautiful appearance, Veris focuses on ‘destruction’ itself.

He doesn’t care about means or purpose, focusing solely on power, and the equipment he creates is said to be coveted even by the benevolent gods.

Go Chang-seok, who was about to start tanning leather, tilted his head as if he had seen the message.

“What is this?”

“It’s a Constellation.”

“Constellation? What’s that?”

“Literally, a divine being. Transcendents residing at the top of the Tower.”

“Why would a god be interested in me? They must have nothing better to do. And how do you know that?”

“I’m also receiving attention from other Constellations.”

That should explain it.

Thinking that, Seun racked his brain.

Go Chang-seok’s skill was excellent, but not to the extent that he could attract the attention of a Constellation with just one sharpening.

Yet Veris had appeared.

-The Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ wants you to stop touching things he can’t eat and find new prey.

-The Constellation, ‘The Bowing Crow,’ looks down with indifferent eyes.

-Following the gazes of the two Demon Gods, the 72 Demon Kings begin to show interest in the camp.

‘So that’s what happened.’

Influenced by the two Demon Gods, Mammon and Beelzebub, who were with Seun, the gazes of other Evil Gods seemed to be focused here as well.

Well, it’s understandable.

Originally, Constellations like Demon Gods don’t easily take an interest in just anyone.

Since not just one, but two Demon Gods were watching Seun, it was inevitable that the Demon Kings would be curious.

“So what, what should I do? Should I do some tricks?”

“Just keep doing what you’re doing. They’re not harmful. No, if their interest grows, it will be a great help.”

“A great help?”

“Like when I handled the fire.”

“Hoo, that’s tempting.”

There were bad views about the Evil Gods in the world.

Unlike the benevolent gods, if you contract as an apostle or receive power, you will have your soul stolen and lose your will and purpose?

However, after Seun diligently investigated the Evil Gods, he found that they were all misunderstandings arising from the perception of demons.

Even Evil Gods are no different from benevolent gods. They take an interest in players and grant them power if they like them.

Of course, the more power you receive, the more restrictions you will have, but that’s the same for benevolent gods.

Moreover, the difference between receiving the attention of a Constellation as a player is enormous.

For Seun and Go Chang-seok, Veris’s interest in them was not bad at all.

“Then, please take care of me.”

“Don’t worry. I’m much more confident in this than waving a wooden stick at monsters.”

Seun bowed briefly and left.

Having a professional take care of the equipment was something Seun welcomed.

He couldn’t be sure yet, but if Go Chang-seok even completed a contract with Veris…

‘At least I won’t have to worry about equipment.’

As Go Chang-seok’s skills increased, he would easily surpass the level of any ordinary blacksmith in the Tower.

The power of a Constellation was that great.

[Tutorial First Chapter – Adaptation]

-Time remaining until the fourth monster wave: 3 hours 21 minutes.

Now, Seun’s job was to make the most of the time before the next wave.

* * *

As planned, Seun focused on creating a dantian [an energy center in the body, according to traditional Chinese medicine] during the remaining time.

Magic is solved with the mana circle, but when wielding a sword or moving the body, internal energy through the dantian is the most efficient.

Just opening the dantian would greatly increase the power of the martial arts he had used so far.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[Three Powers Art(三才功)]

– The method of observing all things in the universe according to the three origins of the universe: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

Three Powers Art.

Contrary to the grand explanation, it is a basic martial art among various internal energy techniques.

It is said to be the safest technique and is good for building a foundation, but its efficiency is extremely low compared to other techniques.

It can be said to be similar to the Blue Tower’s training method used when creating the mana circle.

Of course, the reason for choosing the Three Powers Art among many techniques was the same as the Blue Tower’s training method. He planned to build a foundation with the Three Powers Art and then use other techniques to efficiently grow the dantian.

“Hoo…….”

He contemplates the mysteries of the Three Powers Art and controls his breathing.

Perhaps because the directions they aim for are similar? There were quite a few parts of the Three Powers Art’s mysteries that overlapped with the Blue Tower’s training method.

The difference is that it guides mana to the dantian in the lower abdomen instead of the heart.

And this time, instead of creating something like a circle, he had to ‘open’ the stiff dantian.

Thud!

Mana moving according to Seun’s guidance. No, internal energy arrives at the dantian and knocks on the door. When there is no response, it hits the door harder and faster.

Seun calmly takes a breath at the unexpectedly stiff dantian and firmly gathers internal energy, hitting it hard like a siege ram.

Bang!!

Soon, with a shock that made his body tremble.

-Successfully opened the dantian through the Three Powers Art.

-It is now possible to handle the internal energy in the body as the dantian has been opened.

-The efficiency of all martial arts used increases according to the level of internal energy.

-Achieved outstanding achievement.

-Acquired 1,000 points as a reward.

Seun’s dantian was wide open.

Seun, who succeeded in opening the dantian in less than two hours, lightly wiped away his cold sweat.

As if knowing, the Constellations who sensed Seun’s internal energy began to gather once again.

-The Constellation, ‘The General in Splendid Armor,’ is amazed by your recklessness!

-The Constellation, ‘The Gruff White-Haired Old Man,’ is amazed, saying that this is not recklessness but the realm of great wisdom.

-The Constellation, ‘The Great General Chasing Away Evil Spirits’…….

It’s natural.

Like the mana circle, it was known that it would take at least several months to open the dantian.

Even those called geniuses take several weeks, and even the shortest take several days.

It was known that it was impossible to awaken the dantian in less than two hours like Seun, unless the dantian was forcibly shocked.

The Constellations who knew this fact gathered and tried to talk to Seun.

-The Constellation, ‘The Bowing Crow,’ picks up the treasure it had put down once again.

-The Constellation, ‘The Gruff White-Haired Old Man,’ says to wait a moment…….

-The Constellation, ‘The Bowing Crow,’ has blocked all communication from Constellations of lower rank than itself.

This time as well. Due to Mammon’s actions, all messages from the Constellations were blocked.

Of course, no matter how much Mammon was, he couldn’t block communication from Constellations of similar rank to himself.

However, since he had the rank of a chief god even among the Evil Gods, it was clear that ordinary deities would not be able to approach Seun.

Looking up, there was about an hour left.

Just as he was about to close his eyes again with the thought of accumulating more mana because it was too ambiguous to head to the rocky mountain.

Thud.

Three objects were placed in front of Seun.

A gray cloak with a glossy sheen, and a crude white dagger placed on top of it.

These were the items Seun had entrusted to Go Chang-seok.

“It’s over faster than I thought.”

“I wanted to find some decent abrasives, but I couldn’t find anything like that here. First, I finished tanning as much as I could and trimmed it into a wearable shape.”

“This dagger is…….”

“I just sharpened the blade. The material is good, but it was quite difficult to make by grinding it roughly with a whetstone because there were no suitable tools.”

Unlike what he said about it being difficult, Go Chang-seok’s face looked very bright.

In the midst of the chaos of coming to a new world and fighting monsters, he must have been happy to return to his original profession for a while.

Seun immediately used Appraisal on the items in front of him.

[Gray Wolf Cloak]

Category: Cloak

Grade: D

Description: The skin of the Gray Wolf who ruled the Brown Wolves in the Wolf Forest. Skilled craftsmen have neatly processed it to preserve its original power as much as possible.

Abilities: 1. Intimidation – As a leader’s qualification, it gives charisma to allies and fear to enemies.

2. Blessing of the Wind – Movement speed increases by 10%.

First, the cloak.

The only changed ability was that the movement speed increased a little more, but Seun could tell. The leather was not only hardened through tanning, but it was also neatly processed so as not to interfere with movement.

This alone would not only increase defense but also make movement even smoother.

[Tusk Dagger]

Category: Dagger

Grade: D+

Description: The tusk of the ‘Grave-Digging Boar’ that reigned on the hill. Only sharpened and shaped with a whetstone, it has drawn out its inherent power to the extreme.

Abilities: 1. Headlong Rush – Attack power and cutting power increase by up to 20% for thrusting attacks.

2. Sturdiness – Inheriting the power of its past life, durability has greatly increased.

“How is it, do you like it?”

“Yes, really.”

“I used my strength for the first time in a while, and my shoulders are stiff.”

Go Chang-seok said that and rotated his shoulders.

Even in the meantime, Seun’s eyes did not leave the dagger.

‘To raise the grade to D+ without any tools.’

It was a boss monster’s material, but there was no basic equipment, let alone a blacksmith.

Because of this, Seun wasn’t expecting much, but this was a result that exceeded his expectations by several levels.

No matter how excellent the performance of the whetstone he entrusted to him was, it was a material obtained through a boss monster.

It wasn’t for nothing that Veris started to take an interest in Go Chang-seok.

“This was roughly made with leftover leather. You can’t keep carrying two weapons around.”

“Thank you.”

Go Chang-seok handed Seun a leather belt.

He was thinking about how to carry the weapons anyway, but with this, he wouldn’t have to worry for the time being.

“And I hope you will continue to manage the camp’s equipment instead of directly participating in the battle.”

“……Are you okay with that? The more power, the better.”

“No. It will be much more helpful for you to make good equipment.”

“Ahem. Of course, I like it because it’s what I used to do.”

“Don’t worry. As much as you make the equipment, I will put in more effort.”

“It’s reassuring to hear you say that.”

He was still hesitating a bit, but he didn’t seem to be thinking of refusing. He would rather handle equipment than fight monsters.

Seun looked for Yoo Seo-ah to discuss Go Chang-seok’s new role.

Even if it wasn’t about Go Chang-seok, there was one more thing he wanted to say.

Approximately one hour until the fourth wave.

This battle will be different in difficulty from the previous three waves.
