Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 14

The 14th Theft from the Demon God’s Vault

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is getting impatient, worried that its food will get cold.

Se-woon swiftly dealt with the wolves Park Jung-pil had lured over. About thirty were already down, leaving less than half remaining.

It was an impressive feat, but nearly thirty wolves were still attacking the others.

However.

-You have devoured ‘Gray Wolf.’

-Absorbing nutrients increases Strength by 1 and Agility by 3.

-Absorbing nutrients increases Strength by 0.1 and Agility by 0.3.

…

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ opens its mouth wide.

Se-woon, seemingly unconcerned, leisurely used the Authority of Gluttony to collect the wolves’ corpses.

“Wow, Hyung-nim [term of respect for an older brother or male friend]! That was amazing! Were you, like, a special forces guy back on Earth? No, even special forces couldn’t do something like that!”

Park Jung-pil was overjoyed at Se-woon’s performance, acting as if it were his own accomplishment.

He even subtly emphasized his contribution, saying, ‘Hyung-nim, don’t forget that I brilliantly lured those guys here!’

‘He’s quite useful.’

Initially, Park Jung-pil was just meant to be a decoy for surveillance and to prevent him from thinking nonsense, but his abilities were proving more useful than expected.

Perhaps it was because he was desperate with the beasts behind him, but unlike when he introduced himself as the ‘Turtle of Daesandong’ [likely a self-deprecating nickname], he was fast enough to bring the Gray Wolves.

Even considering it was due to survival instincts, he was far beyond the level of an average person. He seemed to be unknowingly exhibiting the power of a Player [someone with supernatural abilities].

“But Hyung-nim, shouldn’t we help those people over there?”

Park Jung-pil pointed to the people still desperately fending off the wolves’ attacks.

The situation was completely different from when they faced the monkeys.

Dealing with Gray Wolves was on another level compared to Brown Wolves.

Even if they held up shields, the wolves cunningly bit and pulled at them, breaking the front lines, and slowly chipped away at people’s stamina with hit-and-run tactics.

Already, about half of them were injured to varying degrees and struggling.

‘Those two are struggling too.’

Even Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol, who stood out the most, were in the same situation.

No matter how skilled they were, they couldn’t block all the wolves’ attacks. They were barely avoiding serious injuries but couldn’t find a definite solution.

Kang Han-cheol, in particular, was having a harder time.

Perhaps because of his height or lack of speed, he struggled to catch the quick and cunning wolves.

On the other hand, Yoo Seo-ah was diligently analyzing the wolves’ attack patterns and nimbly striking back.

“If we don’t help them, it looks dangerous.”

“If you’re so worried, go help them yourself.”

“Hey, aren’t I Hyung-nim’s right-hand man? A hand should stick close to the body!”

Even Park Jung-pil, who was most concerned about his own situation, seemed worried about the people’s condition.

Yet, the only reason Se-woon wasn’t helping them was this:

‘If I step in and help any more, they’ll only become more dependent.’

He recalled the situation just before the raid started.

No matter how much Yoo Seo-ah shouted, people were lowering their guard, assuming Se-woon would step in anyway.

‘With someone that strong around, what could go wrong?’

That’s what they were thinking.

Moreover, if Se-woon intervened further, it would only hinder their growth.

In fact, Se-woon had single-handedly defeated about half of the monsters in the monster wave so far.

Naturally, all the experience points for that half would go to Se-woon.

At this rate, people’s level-up speed would lag far behind, and instead of the strong camp Se-woon desired, they would become mere baggage, relying solely on Se-woon.

“S-Save me!”

“Hey! If you’re done over there, help us out here!”

People shouted, but Se-woon didn’t even acknowledge their voices.

Instead, Park Jung-pil beside him was fidgeting, not knowing what to do.

“H-Hyung-nim, won’t it be really dangerous if we leave them like that?”

“I have no intention of carrying dead weight.”

“Ahem……”

Park Jung-pil, having perfectly understood Se-woon’s words, swallowed hard.

Indeed, he was quick-witted. He probably had finished establishing his understanding of Se-woon by now.

He must have realized that if he became useless, Se-woon would discard him without hesitation.

“Are you even human!”

“Trying to save yourself! Damn it!”

“Are we going to die like this!”

Realizing that Se-woon wouldn’t step in, people began to struggle desperately.

Se-woon smiled lightly at the sight.

‘That’s a relief.’

He had been worried they would be overcome with fear and collapse like on the first day.

And at that moment, following Go Chang-seok, another message that surprised Se-woon appeared above them.

-The Constellation, ‘Spider Who Wears a Crown,’ is watching Player ‘Yoo Seo-ah’s’ swordsmanship with interest.

The constellation’s interest was directed towards Yoo Seo-ah, who was wielding her sword at the forefront.

He had somewhat expected the constellation’s attention through Go Chang-seok, but upon reading the epithet and identifying its identity, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘Baal.’

The Great Demon King, ranked 1st among the 72 Demon Kings, known to be the strongest.

The Grand Duke of Hell, leading the eastern forces.

Baal.

He didn’t reach the level of a Demon God, but he was the king of Demon Kings, reigning just below them.

Leading 66 legions of demons, Baal was a valiant commander and also known as a master of swordsmanship, so it was natural for him to take an interest in Yoo Seo-ah.

Moreover, Baal wasn’t the only constellation that started to take an interest in Yoo Seo-ah.

-The Constellation, ‘Chariot Roaring Through the Wilderness,’ stops its chariot and pays attention to ‘Yoo Seo-ah’s’ swordsmanship.

-The Constellation, ‘Dissatisfied Destroyer,’ glares at ‘Yoo Seo-ah’ with blazing flames.

The Demon King Alloces, ranked 52nd.

The Demon King Andras, ranked 63rd, etc.

The attention of demon kings related to swords or combat was pouring onto Yoo Seo-ah.

‘Well, even before I regressed, Yoo Seo-ah received attention from several constellations.’

It was only natural for Yoo Seo-ah to attract the attention of constellations; Se-woon had merely accelerated the timing by concentrating the attention of the evil gods.

Of course, before long, all messages except for one disappeared.

-The Constellation, ‘Spider Who Wears a Crown,’ frowns and bares its fangs.

No matter which demon king it was, they couldn’t defy Baal, the Great Demon King ranked 1st.

And.

-The Constellation, ‘Spider Who Wears a Crown,’ wants to assess ‘Yoo Seo-ah’s’ potential.

From that moment on, Yoo Seo-ah’s movements changed noticeably.

Slash, slice!

The sword she wielded at the wolves became incomparably faster than just before. She was only holding a single sword, but it was as if she were wielding multiple swords simultaneously.

The sight was reminiscent of a spider with eight legs.

‘Baal’s power.’

He could tell even without seeing the message floating above her.

Baal had bestowed his power upon her to see if Yoo Seo-ah was capable of accepting his strength.

Yoo Seo-ah’s expression, however, didn’t change in the slightest. She handled the power bestowed by the Great Demon King as naturally as if it had always been her own.

She was focusing all her attention solely on the sword and the wolves, as if in a trance.

Thwack, slice!

Her sword fearlessly pierced through the wolves.

Not only had her speed increased, but her power had also greatly increased.

Wherever her sword pierced, cruel wounds appeared, as if venomous fangs had been embedded instead of a sword.

“I, I can do it!”

“Now’s the time! Finish them off quickly!”

The faces of the people also showed signs of victory at her sight.

People brandished their weapons at the wolves, who had been hesitant due to Yoo Seo-ah’s sudden performance.

-The Constellation, ‘Spider Who Wears a Crown,’ raises its forelegs and rejoices greatly.

Baal’s power wasn’t just about ‘swordsmanship.’ Baal, who was called a valiant commander, also possessed great power in command.

As if to prove it, the morale of the people rose, and their hands gripping their weapons were filled with strength.

“Kuaaang!”

“Krrr!”

The wolves made their final desperate attempts, but the victory had already tilted heavily.

Even if they tried to exploit the people’s weaknesses, Yoo Seo-ah would appear like a ghost and strike the wolves’ vitals.

The battle, which had seemed precarious just moments ago, ended in an instant.

[ Tutorial First Chapter – Adaptation ]

-You have successfully passed the fourth wave.

-100 points are awarded to all participants in the wave.

-Calculating individual contribution points…….

[ 1st place: Jung Se-woon 4,920 points ]

[ 2nd place: Yoo Seo-ah 900 points ]

[ 3rd place: Kang Han-cheol 580 points ]

“Hah, hah……”

Only after all the wolves had fallen did Yoo Seo-ah begin to grasp the situation, panting heavily.

The hot energy spreading through her body and even her sword, and the constellation’s message floating before her eyes.

She couldn’t understand any of it.

However, no matter how well she handled it, Baal’s power was still too much for her to handle.

Swoosh-

As soon as the power disappeared, she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

While others were panicking, saying, ‘Oh, oh!’

Thud.

“Good job.”

Se-woon, who had been on the opposite side of them, had somehow approached and supported her back and head.

* * *

“Kuek, my leg!”

“Oh, what should we do? Let’s wash it with water first…… Is there a doctor here? Or a nurse!”

“I know basic first aid, but I can’t do much without any tools……”

Thanks to Yoo Seo-ah’s performance, the wave ended earlier than expected, but this wave caused more injuries than ever before.

Looking around roughly, it was hard to find anyone without any injuries at all.

Some were severely wounded, with blood still flowing from deep cuts on their legs, or were still unconscious.

“If only that person had helped……”

Some people clenched their fists, thinking of Se-woon.

Se-woon, who had the power to single-handedly defeat half of the wolf pack, yet didn’t help them.

And just then, Se-woon, who had laid Yoo Seo-ah down, was walking towards them.

But no one raised their voice to confront him. All of them knew the power Se-woon possessed.

Se-woon, looking around, raised his hand in front of the most severely injured person.

“W-What are you trying to do! You didn’t even help us!”

“Move.”

The person blocking the way flinched at Se-woon’s cold gaze and involuntarily took a step back.

Soon after, a brilliant light began to flow from Se-woon’s hand.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Cure Light ]

– The most basic healing magic of the White Tower, stopping bleeding and alleviating pain.

Swish-

“Oh? The wound…….”

The patient’s wound, touched by the light, gradually healed.
