Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 129

133

As soon as they entered the castle gate, the two Sand Leopards collapsed.

They had maintained maximum speed for a full three hours, leaving them not only exhausted but also severely dehydrated.

Some soldiers brought waterskins and gave them water, which finally stabilized their breathing.

“Thanks.”

“Grrr…”

Seun stroked the leopard’s forehead gently and rose from his spot.

His swaying posture indicated that he hadn’t recovered much Mana or Inner Force, but his stamina had returned to some extent.

He could recover Mana anywhere, so he planned to do it on the castle walls if possible. That way, he could immediately understand the battlefield and participate in the battle more easily.

Yasha had already moved to the command center on the castle walls to direct the soldiers.

Due to the monster attacks, everyone was moving busily in all directions.

“Seun!”

“Yoo Seo-ah, how’s the situation?”

“It’s still manageable. More than anything, Hancheol is holding out well.”

Kang Hancheol stood alone, firmly guarding the closed castle gate.

Numerous monsters tried to get past him, but it was impossible.

Before they could even touch Kang Hancheol’s fist, they were pierced by sand grains that exploded like a burst, killing them.

Agares’s power to control earthquakes was displaying its formidable strength in all directions.

-Player Nam Moon dominates the battlefield.

-Tarantula’s webs cover the battlefield.

-Allied forces’ combat power increases, and enemy movement speed decreases slightly.

There was a reason why Yoo Seo-ah wasn’t engaging in close combat like Kang Hancheol.

Her potential, Domination, wasn’t just about controlling the monsters she cut down, as she had shown before.

She could also dominate the battlefield, boosting the combat power of her allies, as she was doing now.

Moreover, her constellation, Baal’s power, synergized very well with the power of Domination.

In such large-scale battles, acting as a commander like this seemed to provide even greater strength to the clan.

He took a spot where the battlefield was clearly visible and began to recover Mana.

In the meantime, he heard a familiar musical sound that he had heard once before.

It was such a soft and beautiful sound, but it didn’t seem to be so for the monsters.

-The monsters have heard the ‘Cry of Confusion.’

-Due to the excellent performance, a significant number of monsters fall into ‘Confusion.’

-Monsters in confusion lose their reason and begin to attack their allies.

It was one of the abilities of the ‘Fairy-like Instrument’ that Seun had obtained by defeating the contractor of Pan during the tutorial.

Turning his head, he saw a woman playing an instrument made of woven reed on the highest part of the castle walls.

The sight of the wind rippling around her looked quite mystical.

If one were to consider only musical talent, she was even better than when Seun played the ‘Sheet Music of the Rough Sea.’

-The constellation, ‘Singing Unicorn,’ appreciates the melody of confusion and gently waves its horn.

It was an incredibly beautiful melody for the allies, but a terrible song for the monsters.

The monsters in confusion began to attack their allies.

The number wasn’t that great, but as the attacks on allies continued, the confusion among them grew even greater.

It seemed that her constellation, the ‘Singing Unicorn,’ the 67th-ranked Demon King, Amdusias’s power was amplifying the confusion even more.

-Player Lee Haneul uses ‘Poison-Soaked Ward.’

Poof!

Purple liquid burst like water balloons over the monsters’ heads.

The liquid rode the sandstorm and spread widely across the battlefield, instantly drenching hundreds of monsters.

The monsters were stronger than the ones they had encountered in the lower levels, so this alone didn’t kill them, but it was enough to worsen their condition and slow their movements.

As the attacks continued, the corpses of monsters piled up in front of the castle walls.

At first, the corpses became an excellent wall, preventing the monsters from advancing, but as the height gradually increased, things changed.

Monsters began to climb the castle walls, using their comrades’ corpses as stepping stones.

If they were to climb onto the castle walls and damage the siege weapons, the tide of the battle would be greatly reversed.

They had to prevent the monsters from climbing the castle walls at all costs.

At that moment, Baekhyun, who had been controlling the undead from behind, approached Seun’s side.

“I think this is enough.”

-The constellation, ‘Death-Trampling Horse,’ cannot contain its excitement for the upcoming festival.

What was he planning to do that even Gamigin was expressing anticipation?

No matter how skilled Baekhyun was, he couldn’t raise that many corpses at once.

A magic spell flashed through Seun’s mind as he thought of the Necromancer’s magic.

‘Could it be…’

Baekhyun frantically rotated the dark circles he had created through Seun.

Unlike when he was controlling the undead, the Mana flowing from the circle spread widely across the battlefield.

The Mana that settled on the corpses on the battlefield reached out to the surrounding corpses like a virus.

It seemed that all the piles of corpses on the battlefield were in his grasp.

With this, Seun could be sure of his expectations.

He stopped accumulating Mana to prepare for the impending shock and deployed a Wide Shield in front of him.

Soon after, Baekhyun, unlike his usual serious expression, raised the corners of his mouth, a long, ecstatic grin, clenching his fist tightly.

“Corpse explosion.”

The piles of corpses on the battlefield began to swell up all at once.

KWAH-AAAAANG!!!

A roar as if a bomb had dropped filled the battlefield.

The soldiers operating the siege weapons stopped at once, covered their ears, and lowered their posture to withstand the air pressure.

The siege weapons, which were unstable due to being installed in a hurry, even shook, unable to withstand the air pressure.

If the air pressure felt this strong on the castle walls, what about the monsters that were directly hit by the explosion?

‘Crazy…’

They were literally annihilated.

The traces of monsters had completely disappeared, centered on the place where the piles of corpses had been stacked.

With a single attack, over a thousand monsters lost their lives, so tragically that not a single intact corpse remained.

Fortunately, thanks to the well-set explosion range, the power did not reach the castle walls, but if he had made a mistake, the castle walls would have collapsed.

“Indeed, it’s a success! As expected, the power increased rapidly by causing an explosion through the gas created by instantly decaying the corpses rather than a normal corpse explosion! With this method…”

Baekhyun smiled broadly at the gruesome sight before him and continued his explanation.

He certainly didn’t have that image when they first talked.

Now, the white gown he was wearing blended in well, giving him the feeling of looking at a mad scientist.

Once again, his epithet, Sea of Corpses, seemed more fitting than ever.

In any case, thanks to him, the precarious atmosphere of the battlefield was immediately corrected.

Because all the corpses were shattered, they could no longer be used as stepping stones to climb the castle walls.

Not only were the monsters around the corpses wiped out, but the monsters’ body fluids stuck to the castle walls, making it even harder to climb the castle walls with bare hands.

It was truly a perfect strike.

“…If you’re going to do an attack like this, shouldn’t you at least give a heads-up?”

“Ah, I’m sorry! I didn’t think about it! Are you okay?”

“I happen to have a suitable shield, so there are no injuries.”

“That’s a relief!”

Kang Hancheol climbed onto the castle walls, covered in sticky body fluids.

Perhaps the shield he mentioned was also referring to a monster.

I don’t know how he climbed up this slippery castle wall, but it seemed difficult to continue fighting in that state.

Shuuurrr!

“…Thanks.”

As Seun reached out his hand, water droplets rippled around Kang Hancheol.

Clean Shower. It was a life-type magic he used to destroy the ant nest on the 9th floor.

Kang Hancheol’s body, which had been sticky and wet, including his equipment and hair, was instantly cleaned.

“Why don’t you take a little rest?”

“No. I still have enough stamina.”

-Player Kang Hancheol uses ‘Commencement of War: Tremor.’

KWAH-AAAAANG!!

Kang Hancheol jumped down below the castle walls once again.

He must have come up because his movements were really uncomfortable due to the monster’s body fluids.

He had been guarding the castle gate alone, but he still had enough stamina. At this point, I thought that his pure stamina, as well as his strength, might be better than Seun’s.

Of course, Seun could never surpass him in the sum of all his abilities.

‘They’re holding out better than I thought.’

Honestly, I didn’t know the Diablo Clan had become this strong.

I thought that some degree of struggle was inevitable, and I hoped that they could hold out at least until I could recover some Mana.

But now their power far exceeded Seun’s expectations. Far from struggling, they were overwhelmingly defeating the monsters.

Even though Seun hadn’t helped even once.

Everyone had climbed up to the 10th floor of the tower and grown more than Seun had thought.

Looking around, the number of players who had contracted with new constellations had also increased more than before.

Of course, they were all constellations known as the 72 Demon Kings.

They were living up to the name of the Diablo Clan, which means devil.

‘I can’t just rest alone like this.’

Seun, who had recovered enough Mana, rose from his spot.

He glanced down at Durendal, but there was still heat remaining in the sword.

Even if it was Durendal, it would be too much to use Mammon’s treasures in succession, so it was necessary to let the sword rest until the sword cooled down.

Then, there was only one attack left.

There was no better way to deal with such a large army than magic.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Ice field ]

– As an ice-type attack magic of the Blue Tower, it turns the designated area into a land of cold, freezing all enemies on it.

Drrrrr!

Cold frost formed from Seun’s fingertips.

The circle rotated furiously, setting the range of the Ice Field.

The Ice Field could increase the attack range as much as Mana was injected.

Anyway, the situation was relaxed, and Mana was just a matter of gathering it again. Investing more than twice the Mana originally needed, he drastically increased the range of the magic.

As soon as the range setting was finished.

-According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Ice Field’ is strengthened.

-According to the mysteries of the Green Tower, the freezing speed of ‘Ice Field’ is accelerated.

-According to the mysteries of the Blue Tower, the stability of ‘Ice Field’ is strengthened.

Jjeo-jeo-jeok!

The desert in front of him froze coldly.

The monsters passing over it felt the cold they had never experienced before, and they had to vividly feel the moment when their bodies were stiffening.

Their legs froze first, followed by their torso, arms, and necks.

Some tried to move their bodies forcibly to escape the cold, but their frozen bodies broke apart, meeting death faster than others.

And before long, all the monsters in the range designated by Seun became white statues.

The statues, shining in the sun, were truly works of art.

Not long after the battle began, more than half of the monsters had already fallen.

What remained were the remaining half of the monsters and.

Thump, thump.

The boss monster of the 10th floor trial, ‘The Approaching Sandstorm.’

And…….

“Kuaaaaaak!”

It was another boss monster that was created when Seun completed the hidden quest.
