Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 143

I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – 147

The reason Se-un went straight to the Lizardmen tribe was simple.

‘It’s something I have to do anyway.’

Se-un had chosen the special path of helping the Swamp Guardian Clan, but the original trial usually involved choosing a side between the Lizardmen and the Orcs and attacking the other.

Considering the situation with the Dwarves, it seemed like a trial where he would eventually have to face both tribes, though he didn’t know how many floors it would take.

The 12th-floor trial that the Dwarves originally asked Se-un for seemed to be just sneaking into the Lizardmen tribe and finding the transparent flower buds, but was there really a need to do only that?

If it was something he had to do anyway, it was better to deal with it now, even if it wasn’t the primary goal of the trial.

In that sense…….

– The power of ‘Fire Cannon’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Black Tower.

– The speed of ‘Tornado’ is increased according to the mysteries of the Green Tower.

– The stability of ‘Frozen Wave’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Blue Tower.

– ‘Stone Wall’ becomes more robust according to the mysteries of the Yellow Tower.

Bang, Kwaaaang!!

Se-un confidently entered the Lizardmen tribe’s territory and unleashed a barrage of spells.

Thanks to his memories from before the regression and the Dwarves’ information, finding the location was easy.

The problem was how to deal with the Lizardmen tribe, which, in the original trial, was meant to be defeated by attacking together with the Orcs’ camp.

“Khek!”

“R, Run away!”

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ shakes his head at your tremendous growth, recalling your appearance during the tutorial.

– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince,’ celebrates with a toast to the feast of various dishes.

– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Envy Surrounds,’ predicts your potential is even greater, saying it is indeed a tremendous growth.

To Se-un, who had already reached the 5th Circle [a high level of magical proficiency], numerical superiority without quality meant nothing.

In the first place, there was a severe difference in power between Se-un and the challenges of the 12th-floor trial, to the point where comparison was impossible.

Unless it was a boss monster that had to be attacked by a clan unit like the 10th-floor trial, or an enemy in a hidden quest with stronger power than the monsters on the corresponding floor, they were no match for him.

The Lizardmen, who were considered elites, were swept away by the sheer destructive force of Se-un’s magic without even resisting.

Decisively.

-The stigma reacts to the legend of the Blood Wolf.

-The first ability of the stigma, ‘Fear,’ awakens.

“I can’t escape. Everyone will die……”

“Mo, Monster! No, it’s a demon!”

The power of fear possessed by Se-un’s stigma boasted surprisingly outstanding power in such a one-versus-many battle.

Even if they weren’t within the range of the magic, the Lizardmen who witnessed the destructive power of the magic gave up resisting and simply collapsed on the spot.

There was no need to go out of his way to finish off those who had already lost their will to fight.

Because once the chief was defeated, the fate of the Lizardmen tribe would be sealed.

‘Is it almost here?’

After clearing the front lines with Fire Cannon, he saw a building that was particularly large compared to the other structures in the tribe.

The building, made of wood and fallen leaves, resembled the head of a dragon, and it was obviously the chief’s residence.

Indeed, as he approached it, many warriors, including the Lizardmen chief, were lined up to greet Se-un.

“Shh, Shiik! A, A demon!”

“Don’t back down! Brave warriors who have inherited the power of the dragon!”

As soon as they encountered Se-un, some Lizardmen, terrified, couldn’t maintain their composure and knelt down.

The chief raised his voice to boost the morale of the tribe members, but Se-un could tell the chief’s voice was trembling slightly.

Se-un wasn’t the only one who noticed it.

The warriors who were barely maintaining their posture to protect the chief were also gradually succumbing to fear.

‘He looked so strong before the regression.’

Lizardmen Chief.

Before the regression, Se-un’s strength lay in his information-gathering ability using the journey’s guide rather than direct combat.

Therefore, he couldn’t come forward directly, and his main role was to devise strategies using various information from the swamp to drive the Lizardmen into a corner.

The one who defeated the Lizardmen chief at the last moment was the Orc chief who was on his side at the time.

The Lizardmen chief he saw back then was so ferocious and scary that he reminded him of a fierce carnivorous dinosaur rather than a lizard.

When the two chiefs started to clash, he didn’t dare to join the battle, fearing that he would be crushed like a shrimp in a whale fight [an idiom for being caught in the crossfire of a battle between powerful opponents].

But now…….

“Re, Retreat right now! Otherwise, the dragon’s fangs will be directed at you!”

Now he was just a lizard.

Even a frail lizard trembling with fear.

He was desperately baring his teeth, but he was no threat to a real beast.

Eventually, the Lizardmen started their last desperate struggle against Se-un, who didn’t stop advancing.

– The fourth form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Howl (血狼咆哮) [Xuelang Paoxiao in pinyin], is enhanced through internal energy.

– The power of martial arts is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Supreme Demonic Art.

Awoo-!

Seokeok!

As the sword energy danced on the howling of the red wolf, the Lizardmen fell into the cold swamp without even wielding their weapons properly.

The chief was the only one who blocked Se-un’s attacks a few times, but that was it.

Without even needing to use Mammon’s treasure, the chief’s head was cut off in vain.

– Completed the hidden quest, ‘Early Demise.’

– Additional points are awarded to the trial ‘Swamp Guardian Clan.’

I used magic and martial arts generously, thinking of ending it quickly and returning, so my mana and internal energy were completely depleted.

There were still Lizardmen left, but those who had been terrified by the chief’s death and succumbed to the power of fear were no longer a threat to Se-un.

It was clear that they would eventually lose their minds and self-destruct.

“Pretty.”

When he went to the location the Dwarves had told him, he was able to find a plant called transparent flower buds.

As the name suggested, the beautifully grown translucent flower buds were swaying gently, and the way they were subtly reflected in the sunlight was quite beautiful.

Since one flower bud was needed per person, he collected about 50 flower buds generously and got up from his seat.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ wants you to put the food up quickly, saying the food will get cold.

‘Ah.’

I almost forgot about the manifestation of gluttony due to Beelzebub’s support.

– The power of gluttony has designated the entire ‘Lizardmen Tribe.’

– The fangs of gluttony devour the monsters!

Se-un returned to the Swamp Guardian Clan without hesitation.

[Lee Il-jung: Mr. Haneul, thank you. If it weren’t for the antidote, I would have collapsed without being able to do anything.]

[Lee Haneul: I’m glad the medicine worked well!]

[Park Jung-pil: Ahem.]

[Lee Il-jung: Haha, thank you, Mr. Jung-pil. You have tremendous information.]

[Park Jung-pil: You know what’s up! It’s all thanks to me rolling up my sleeves and getting the information…….]

While moving to the Dwarves’ residence, Se-un took advantage of the downtime to check the clan chat.

Fortunately, it seemed that the antidote manufactured by Lee Haneul was working well, and there was not a single clan member suffering from poison.

Even if they went in the wrong direction, they could just take another antidote and change their path.

The monsters that appeared were also not a big threat to the Diablo clan members.

Above all, the 48-hour time limit for the 11th-floor trial had not yet passed, and there were already quite a few people passing the trial.

[Yoo Seo-ah: The 11th floor isn’t that difficult because we have the antidote. More than that, helping the Lizardmen is an unexpected trial.]

[Kang Han-cheol: I am Orc.]

[Park Jung-pil: Nod.]

[Kang Han-cheol: ……It means helping the Orcs.]

[Park Jung-pil: Nod.]

[Kang Han-cheol: ……I’ll see you separately at the residence.]

[Park Jung-pil: Heeik!]

Their trial was the same as the trial Se-un had experienced before the regression.

The only difference was whether to help the Lizardmen or the Orcs.

This trial was fairer for the players than he thought, so even if they weren’t combat-oriented, they could overcome it well enough.

In Go Chang-seok’s case, he forges equipment, the twin sisters strengthen fences and weapons, and Lee Haneul treats the injured.

In addition to that, they can help the camp in various ways to create a more advantageous position than the opposing camp, which is enough to launch a successful attack.

Somehow Baekhyun’s chat was not visible, but…….

‘He’ll be doing well on his own.’

It didn’t seem like he would have any difficulties in this theme.

Since he was a necromancer who controlled the undead that were immune to poison, this theme was a more advantageous condition than anyone else in the Diablo clan.

After confirming that the clan members were all doing well in the trial, Se-un turned off the clan chat and sped up his pace.

He couldn’t reach his maximum speed because his internal energy was depleted, but he was able to arrive at the Dwarves’ residence earlier than he thought.

Kkulreureuk-

Just as he was wondering how to open the entrance, the swamp collapsed as if welcoming Se-un, creating stairs.

It seemed that Magu had taken some measures in advance.

As he went down the stairs, Magu’s face popped out as if he had been waiting.

“You’re safe! I was worried!”

“Here. I brought about fifty of them generously, is that okay?”

“Of course! With this, I can heal all my friends!”

Magu, who received the transparent flower buds, immediately prepared for treatment.

He wondered how he would treat them with that, but as expected, he wasn’t using the flowers right away.

He scooped up the endlessly transparent and clean water flowing from the left wall and soaked the flower buds there.

Then, the translucent petals disappeared as if melting.

“It’s done! Everyone will be fine if they drink this!”

“I’ll help too.”

“It’s okay! You must be tired, so take a rest!”

“No, I’m not that tired.”

The manufacturing method of the medicine was not difficult, so Se-un was able to follow it quickly.

He melted the flower buds in water and carefully fed them to the fallen Dwarves.

As soon as they swallowed the water, the Dwarves, who had been dyed black, quickly recovered.

“Huh? It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Daga! The benefactor over there brought transparent flower buds. He also defeated the bad flowers!”

“Wow! Benefactor! Thank you!”

The medicine’s effect was faster than Se-un thought.

The Dwarves regained consciousness in less than a minute after drinking the medicine.

Magu was busy spreading Se-un’s achievements to the Dwarves who had regained consciousness, and the more he did, the more Se-un focused on making the medicine.

Before long, all the Dwarves in the residence regained consciousness.

They had been lying down until just now, so they should have rested, but as soon as they got up, they headed to the wall where the rotten water was flowing.

“Now we can purify the swamp again!”

“The bad flowers are gone, so if we purify only this, the swamp will be clean again, right?”

“I want to step on the clean swamp quickly!”

Dozens of Dwarves simultaneously put their hands together and scooped up the water.

Instead of purification, the sticky liquid, which seemed impossible to return to its original state, quickly became transparent.

Accordingly, the Dwarves’ hands were dyed black, but thanks to the effect of the medicine they had just drunk, the speed of recovery was faster than the hands being dyed black again.

After purifying the water and carrying it to the central fountain several times, the amount of liquid flowing to the right quickly decreased.

“It’s done!”

“It’s clean again!”

The moment all the water flowing through the residence was purified.
