Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 147

Episode 151

As people live, waste accumulates in their bodies.

Eating food, inhaling dust—eating and breathing makes it nearly impossible to avoid accumulating waste.

That’s why, when people reach a higher realm, their bodies are reconstructed, and the waste inside them is washed away.

It’s like the Rebirth (換骨奪胎) [a complete transformation] of a master who has reached a high level, transforming into a body suitable for digesting a lot of inner energy and enlightenment.

It was the same for Se-un.

Due to his rapid growth, his body had accumulated more waste than others.

In his muscles, blood vessels, even his circles and dantian [energy centers in the body].

And now…….

– You have inhaled the Pollen of Purity.

– An extremely powerful purification process occurs.

– Waste is removed from the body, strengthening the immune system.

The waste that had accumulated in Se-un’s body throughout his life began to be purified.

Unlike masters undergoing Rebirth, waste wasn’t escaping through his sweat glands with a foul odor.

Rather than a foul odor, white smoke rose, emitting a scent close to that of flowers.

As the waste disappeared, a fragrant floral scent spread around him.

‘Pollen of Purity…….’

He had read about it in the Great Library.

Pollen said to be created by soaking a plant called the Flower of Purity in extremely purified water. A panacea that detoxifies all poisons in the world.

However, obtaining the flower’s seeds was nearly impossible, and even if you did, artificially creating water purified enough to bloom the flower was said to be impossible.

It had to be a spring naturally purified by the spirits of the forest for eons.

Moreover, the pollen can only be inhaled in the place where the flower blooms. It cannot be stored at all, and it naturally melts into the light and disappears over time.

Se-un had now inhaled such pollen.

– All waste in the body has been removed.

– ‘Poison Salamander Skin’ has been strengthened.

– Immunity to all poisons in the world is enhanced.

Not just any immunity, but a whopping ‘immunity to all poisons in the world’.

It was like taking the first step towards reaching the realm of invulnerability to all poisons (萬毒不侵) [immunity to all poisons].

Of course, this alone doesn’t give him perfect immunity, so there are definitely limits right now.

The effect of removing waste was not just improving immunity.

‘My body is light.’

He could tell without moving. Just removing the waste made his body feel incredibly light.

It was like throwing away the sandbag he had been wearing his whole life without realizing it.

When he lightly bounced in place, the effect was clearly felt.

Not only did his movements become lighter, but he could also feel his five senses becoming extremely developed through the resistance of the air touching his skin.

“Did you like our reward? We worked really hard to prepare it!”

“……Yeah, really.”

“I’m glad!”

“The benefactor likes it!”

“That’s good enough. The flower buds will grow back anyway, right?”

“Yeah, yeah!”

To think that the reward he didn’t expect at all was the Pollen of Purity.

This was truly unimaginable.

Se-un wasn’t the only one surprised.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ cannot hide his disappointment as he watches the pollen melt into the light and disappear.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows His Head,’ is very sorry that he cannot take a sample of the pollen.

– The Constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Jealousy,’ congratulates you on shedding a layer of skin.

The gods also knew the value of this pollen.

Of course, no matter how much of a demon Mammon was, he couldn’t bring back the pollen that had already melted and disappeared.

While Se-un was satisfied with the dwarves’ reward and waving his arms around.

– You have successfully completed the 13th floor trial, ‘The Beast That Dyes the Swamp’.

– Calculating contribution points…….

– Time remaining: 89 hours 48 minutes

– Number of monsters hunted: 989.

– Hidden quest ‘Black Cow of the Orc Village’ completed.

– Hidden quest ‘Early Destruction (2)’ completed.

……

– Total accumulated contribution points: 400,000 points

– Congratulations! You have passed the 13th floor trial in 1st place.

– Acquired 100,000 points as a reward.

A message appeared announcing the end of the trial.

‘Okay, so what happens now?’

Since both the Lizardman and Orc camps were destroyed, Se-un remembered that there were no more trials to be carried out in this swamp.

In that situation, there were two floors left, not just one, so he was curious how the system would handle the next floor.

Se-un just hoped that the trials for the two floors wouldn’t be skipped altogether without any contribution points.

While waiting for the system to provide a trial, Magu spoke to Se-un first.

“Thanks to you, the swamp is completely clean! It will take a little time, but it will soon return to its former clean state!”

“Congratulations.”

“It’s all thanks to you, benefactor! Ah, in that sense, there is a place I would like to take you, benefactor.”

“Me?”

“Yes! You should be able to reveal yourself now!”

“Reveal yourself. Who are you talking about?”

Se-un wracked his brain but couldn’t think of anyone in particular.

In the first place, this trial was mainly about the war between the Lizardmen and Orcs surrounding the swamp.

Before his regression, he didn’t even know that there was a swamp guardian tribe in front of him.

“They are the owner of this swamp! The one who created this space for us!”

“……Owner?”

“Ah, I’m sorry! Even though your body has been purified, you must be very tired mentally! Should we have a meal first?”

“No, I’m okay.”

“Don’t say that, let’s have a meal first! I’m confident in my cooking, you know!”

“Hmm…….”

Se-un hesitated for a moment.

If he were in the middle of a trial, he would definitely refuse, but for some reason, information about the next trial had not yet appeared.

Since entering the swamp, he had only filled his stomach with convenience food and had never had a proper meal or even closed his eyes.

Since he didn’t know what kind of trial the tower would give him, it wouldn’t be bad to recover his stamina and mental strength through rest.

After finishing his 고민 [worries], Se-un nodded.

“Then, I’ll gratefully accept.”

“Please look forward to it!”

“Let’s prepare the meal quickly!”

“Degu! You have hidden meat! Bring it quickly!”

The swamp guardian tribe’s residence was lively for the first time in a while.

* * *

The meal prepared by the swamp guardian tribe was more delicious than expected.

It wasn’t a monster, but food made from fish, small animals, and various vegetables living in the swamp.

Among them, there was a dish made by wrapping a large fish in round leaves and steaming it with various vegetables, which was surprisingly delicious even for Se-un.

With the addition of a sour fruit juice, Se-un was able to feel full for the first time in a long time.

“Did you rest well?”

“Thanks to you.”

“I’m glad! I was worried that it might be uncomfortable because the size didn’t fit!”

He also took a proper nap while resting.

The house where the dwarves stayed was too small for Se-un, so it was a temporary accommodation made in a hurry, but so what? Being able to close his eyes and sleep in this swamp without worrying about monsters was a blessing in itself.

Thanks to having all the waste in his body removed and taking a proper rest, Se-un’s body felt lighter than ever before.

He didn’t know what the next trial would be, but he felt confident that he could overcome anything quickly.

“Let’s go right away.”

“You can rest a little more!”

“No, I’m fine.”

Magu suggested that he rest a little more, but excessive rest would rather lead to a deterioration in condition.

Since he was still in the middle of one theme, he wanted to finish it before forgetting his sense of battle.

Magu quickly nodded and prepared to go out.

Mud hardened and stairs appeared, and the two of them followed the stairs up and began to walk through the swamp.

“So, where is the owner of the swamp?”

“They are everywhere!”

“Everywhere?”

“This whole swamp is managed by them. Still, they are still very tired, so we are going to the closest place!”

“Where is that?”

“The center of the swamp! The Green Swamp!”

The Green Swamp. The place where the 11th floor trial began.

As expected, as he followed Magu, a familiar sight came into view.

The only difference was that most of the toxicity that filled the atmosphere had disappeared.

He thought it would take quite a while for the toxicity to neutralize even though the Corpse Flower had disappeared, but the dwarves’ purification ritual seemed to be more effective than Se-un thought.

“The air is really good, isn’t it? It’s all thanks to you, benefactor!”

Certainly, the swamp with the toxicity gone was truly beautiful.

For some reason, no monsters appeared, and the mud that used to sink his feet felt like it was supporting Se-un’s feet.

How long had he been walking like that?

“Here it is!”

He was finally able to reach his destination.

A place Se-un also knew. The very place where he fell as soon as the 11th floor trial began.

‘The owner of the swamp is here?’

Just like when he first started the trial, there was nothing suspicious now.

Rather, compared to the outside of the Green Swamp, it was such a peaceful place that it was in stark contrast to it.

The wind was endlessly gentle, and the mana was incredibly calm.

It was an atmosphere where it would be stranger if there was something here.

“I’ll call them now, so please wait a moment!”

Splash!

“Huh?”

Magu said that and immediately jumped into the swamp as if diving.

It was called a swamp, but he jumped straight from where he was standing still.

Even though the swamp was muddy, it was completely different from water. It wasn’t a place where you could dive and fall into, but Magu’s body sank deep into the swamp as if it were natural.

Before he knew it, Magu’s body was gone, and only calm ripples remained on the swamp.

Se-un, who was left alone on the swamp, had a dumbfounded expression.

He said he was calling the owner of the swamp, so did he go to call them directly?

Fortunately, ripples began to rise again in the swamp before long.

Ribbit, ribbit-

Along with the ripples, the croaking of frogs could be heard. Birds chirped in the sky, and the leaves collided as the trees swayed in the wind.

It was as if all the beings in the swamp were welcoming the appearance of the ‘owner’.

The ripples grew larger and larger, and the moment their size approached that of waves.

– Welcome to the 14th floor trial.

– Theme: The Owner of the Swamp

– Time limit: –

– You, who helped the swamp guardian tribe, have been invited to the owner of the swamp through them.
