Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 13

The Devil’s Vault Heist – Episode 13

Episode 13

Approximately ten minutes until the fourth wave.

Just like this morning, everyone was fully prepared for the wave.

However, there was one difference.

It was the sense of ease.

Perhaps because they had managed to fend off the third wave more easily than expected, the tension had lessened.

“It’s starting soon! Everyone, please get ready!”

“I hope boars come out this time too. The more food, the better, right?”

“I wonder if cows will appear?”

“Wow, beef! I never got to eat my fill back on Earth, so it would be really great if they showed up!”

Even with Yoo Seo-ah’s shouts, people didn’t stop talking. It was evident how much the tension had eased.

Watching them, Yoo Seo-ah bit her lip.

“Everyone, please focus! According to Se-un, this wave is supposed to be particularly dangerous!”

“Even if it’s dangerous, aren’t we good enough to handle it?”

“And if it’s him, he can block anything that comes out, so what’s there to worry about?”

“True, that flame was really amazing, wasn’t it?”

Yoo Seo-ah shouted again, but people didn’t listen to her this time either.

Some people, aware of Yoo Seo-ah’s concern, hardened their expressions and nodded, but the majority didn’t.

Some even put their weapons down on the ground, saying there was still time left.

The more that happened, the more Yoo Seo-ah had to dwell on her anxiety alone.

‘I’m anxious….’

Though it was a short time, Se-un, as she had seen him, was by no means a frivolous person.

If he bothered to come to her right before the wave started and told her to be careful, it meant that the wave’s difficulty was more dangerous than she thought.

Yet, people were unable to focus.

Although she was a good leader, it was difficult to rectify the situation due to a lack of charisma.

At that moment.

Bang!!

A deafening explosion and a cloud of dust rose from the very front of the line.

Startled, people stopped talking and focused their attention.

There stood a burly man over 2 meters tall, Kang Han-cheol, with a stiff expression, shaking the dirt off his fist.

“Noisy.”

Just one word. His heavy voice brought people back to their senses.

The surroundings became quiet in an instant, and only the sound of swallowing in tension was heard here and there.

“Now, there’s one minute left!”

It was Yoo Seo-ah’s clear voice that first broke the silence.

People who had begun to regain their senses grabbed their weapons and began to prepare for battle.

“You’re Kang Han-cheol, right? Thank you.”

Yoo Seo-ah approached and spoke, but no answer came from Kang Han-cheol. He was just silently preparing for battle.

Until now, he had been someone who only focused on his own work no matter what happened and didn’t pay attention to his surroundings, but for some reason, he had stepped forward for her.

At this, Yoo Seo-ah felt a sense of reassurance, as if she had gained a reliable ally.

And finally.

[ Tutorial First Chapter – Adaptation ]

-The fourth wave begins.

-Defeat the monster wave and prove your existence.

The long-awaited fourth wave began.

“Grrr….”

“More wolves again?”

“Wh, what are those! Why are they so big!”

“Crazy….”

Higher-level monsters, Gray Wolves, larger than the Brown Wolves that appeared in the first wave, began to reveal themselves.

* * *

“They’re here.”

“H, Hyung [older brother/term of endearment]! Is this, is this okay? Those things are no joke!”

Se-un had mostly cleared out the wolves in the wolf forest. Yet, new wolves were appearing from the forest.

Moreover, wolves that were perhaps twice the size of Brown Wolves.

“Did you expect sheep or goats to come out instead?”

“Even if not that, those aren’t something humans can handle! How are we supposed to fight those without guns!”

The reactions of others were the same as Park Jung-pil, who was noisily chattering next to Se-un.

Confidence that ‘we can do it’ was instantly replaced with frustration that ‘this is impossible!’

‘Well, I used to be like that too.’

As someone who had lived a peaceful life on Earth, anyone would be filled with frustration when faced with such a large beast.

Especially when it wasn’t just one, but a pack of dozens of wolves.

However, there were two who uniquely maintained their composure.

Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol.

Only the two of them, even with the Gray Wolves before their eyes, clenched their fists tightly and burned with fighting spirit.

“Stop talking and start herding them.”

“Huh? No, Hyung! It’s different from the monkeys now! Wolves, wolves! Huge wolves!”

“Then go join those people over there.”

Se-un pointed to the people gathered around Yoo Seo-ah.

Clearly, if he went in there, he could somehow hold out, but Se-un was already positioned on the opposite side.

Running all the way there was practically a suicide mission.

It would be better to trust Se-un for a higher chance of survival.

“Damn it!”

Having thought that far, Park Jung-pil cursed and started moving his legs.

“I’m really doing this because I’m desperate!”

“What?”

“I’m saying I’m disgustingly happy! Aaaagh!”

As Park Jung-pil started running, the wolves’ attention naturally focused on him.

Even if they should be sticking together and being cautious, a prey was running in front of them, screaming, so even the most wary wolves couldn’t help but follow.

‘Still, they’re smaller than that one.’

Se-un recalled the ‘Wolf Guarding the Tomb’ that he had faced deep in the wolf forest, in front of the tomb.

They were the same Gray Wolves, but the one he had faced was a kind of boss monster. A particularly large and powerful species among the Gray Wolves.

‘Well, if those guys had appeared in a pack, almost no one would have been able to pass the tutorial.’

Tutorial.

He didn’t know who had devised it, but it was truly vicious.

Up until the third raid, they had been coaxing the confused players, saying, ‘You can probably handle this much, right?’

Just when they seemed to be getting used to it, they drastically increased the difficulty like this.

“Hyungniiiiiim!”

“There are fewer of them, though?”

“Crazy, I can’t do any more! How can a person run away from wolves in the first place!”

It didn’t seem like much time had passed, but Park Jung-pil was quickly returning to Se-un.

Looking behind him, the number of wolves he had lured was about twenty.

Compared to the monkeys, it was a relatively small number, but in reality, it was still quite impressive.

As Park Jung-pil had just said, Gray Wolves were much faster monsters than Brown Monkeys.

When they were close enough, Se-un raised his hand and unleashed flames towards Park Jung-pil, or rather, the wolves, just like when he had faced the monkeys.

“Fireball.”

“Aaaagh! Are you not even giving me a signal anymore!”

Kwaruruk!

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ quickly grabs his utensils, watching the well-cooked prey.

The fireball swept over the pack of wolves, narrowly missing Park Jung-pil, who had desperately thrown himself to the ground.

Similarly, thanks to pouring all the mana from the circle, a blast occurred that was hard to believe came from a 1st Circle spell.

Starting from the center of the explosion, hot flames raged wildly.

However.

“Aaaagh! Hyung, save me!”

The result was different from when they fought the monkeys.

The wolves in the center of the explosion were charred black, but the wolves that weren’t in the center quickly escaped the range.

Of course, they hadn’t completely avoided it, so some were burned or had their fur catch fire, but about half of them survived Se-un’s attack and bared their sharp fangs.

“Just hide behind me.”

“Yes, sir!”

He had expected this much anyway.

He didn’t think he could kill all the Gray Wolves in one shot like the monkeys.

Se-un took out the Forgotten Hero’s Sword from the belt that Go Chang-seok had provided.

There was also a dagger, but a short blade wasn’t suitable against wolves.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Blood Wolf Sword Style (血狼劍法) ]

– A unique martial art said to have been created by Jo Gong-ja (趙空子), a master of the Wudang Sect (武當派) [a famous Taoist martial arts school], who cut ties with the secular world and went into the mountains to face packs of wolves.

An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.

If the wolves bared their teeth, he just needed to take out even more ferocious fangs.

It had only been a day since he had mastered the Hamel Longsword Style, but Se-un had already perfectly laid the foundation for the sword.

Moreover, he had opened his dantian [energy center in the body] through the Three Disasters Art right before the wave started, so he was already fully prepared to use 본격적인 [full-fledged] swordsmanship.

Taat!

Unlike before, Se-un rushed towards the wolves first.

The wolves, who had been slowly retreating with the still-blazing flames in front of them, were startled and launched a counterattack.

However.

Swish!

Se-un’s attack casually ignored the counterattack and violently tore through the wolf’s body.

Like the claws of a beast.

Blood Wolf Sword Style, First Form, Blood Wolf Claw (血狼爪).

A sharp and brutal strike, like the name of the form, the claws of a blood-colored wolf.

In the first place, the act of counterattacking itself was not allowed.

Because the Blood Wolf Claw brutally tore apart everything from the wolf’s snout to its torso.

At this, not only the burned wolves but also the wolves that came to support after seeing the flames rushed at Se-un.

A number easily exceeding ten.

There was no blind spot.

At that, Se-un began to move the weak internal energy accumulated in his dantian.

-Physical abilities increase while using internal energy.

For a moment, his body felt lighter. At the same time, his muscles twitched more intensely than usual, showing off their power.

Because it was extremely weak internal energy, the duration wouldn’t be long, but it was enough to deal with the wolves in front of him right now.

Ggggeuk!

As internal energy concentrated, Se-un’s thighs swelled up.

The veins in the hand holding the sword also rose excessively, as if they would burst at any moment.

The moment the wolves that had come right in front of Se-un opened their mouths.

-Through internal energy, the Blood Wolf Sword Style’s Second Form, Blood Wolf Fang (血狼牙), is enhanced.

The internal energy surrounding Se-un formed the shape of a blood wolf, and the sword became the sharp fangs of the blood wolf.

Kwaddeudeuk!

A momentum like a wolf’s howl burst out, and the wolves that were rushing towards Se-un were all torn apart.

The corpses were all brutally mangled as if they had been chewed by wolves.

“…Hyung, are you even the same species as me?”

Park Jung-pil, who had been hiding behind Se-un, muttered with a dumbfounded expression.
