Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 155

Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 159

Episode 159

To be honest, I expected him to bring at least a Demon Beast like ‘Black Mau’. His desire for Demon Beasts was evident in the clan chat.

Even though he chose the Orc camp, I thought it wouldn’t be easy to bring back the corpse of a monster from the same camp as him.

He brought not only Black Mau but also the corpse of a Corpse Flower, which the Lizardmen camp had been secretly raising as a last resort.

“Ah, Mr. Se-un, you’re here!”

“What’s going on here?”

“Haha, I just got too greedy…”

“Did the Demon Beast get hurt during the battle with the Lizardmen? It’s rare for that Demon Beast to get hurt.”

“No!”

“Then…”

“While I was wondering if there was a way, I just took care of everything and brought it back.”

“…Pardon?”

What is he talking about?

Se-un was able to destroy both camps without choosing one, thanks to meeting the hidden ‘Swamp Guardian Clan,’ but he is different.

He clearly said in the clan chat that he had entered the Orc camp.

Se-un, who had chosen the Orc camp before his regression, remembered that there was no trial to annihilate both races.

However, the answer that Baek-hyun gave was truly absurd.

“During the war, I ‘accidentally’ killed an ally, and a quest called Swamp Annihilation came up, so I followed it. Haha, thanks to that, I was able to get the corpse of this Demon Beast!”

Swamp Annihilation.

Se-un’s trial and goal were the same—destroying both camps to save the swamp at the request of the dwarves—but the pursuit was completely different.

Besides, Se-un is growing rapidly with the power of the Three Demon Gods, but how could he annihilate both camps?

It seemed that the unique characteristics of the swamp theme played a role in this.

‘Undead that are immune to poison and large-scale warfare. Both are the perfect battlefields for a Necromancer.’

The swamp was the perfect place for Baek-hyun in many ways.

Unlike other races, he didn’t have to worry about poison, and if the Undead died, he could just recreate them.

There were countless corpses on the battlefield, so if the conditions were right, it was possible to form a one-man army.

Of course, that would be impossible for a typical Necromancer, but…

– The Constellation, ‘Mare Who Tramples Death,’ snorts as if amused.

It was possible because Baek-hyun had a contract with Gamigin, the greatest necromancer in the Demon World.

If it was a hidden quest, he would have gained a lot of contribution points, and his growth was guaranteed with the Undead made from those two monsters.

But, why? Baek-hyun seemed to be falling into madness, which made me a little uneasy.

Unlike Se-un, who had climbed the tower enduring all kinds of humiliation and was confident that his mentality was strong, Baek-hyun was still a low-level player.

I was worried that he might be mentally corrupted.

What if Gamigin was brainwashing Baek-hyun…

“Don’t worry.”

– The Constellation, ‘Mare Who Tramples Death,’ bows before the Demon God of Greed.

While Se-un was worried, Mammon, who had been watching this scene from the stigmata [a divine or diabolical mark], appeared.

He was still the size of a fairy, but his spirit was that of a Demon God. Gamigin bowed his head at his appearance.

“Gamigin would never do anything to trample on the potential of his contractor through ‘brainwashing’.”

– The Constellation, ‘Mare Who Tramples Death,’ nods.

Se-un also nodded at Mammon’s words.

At least, Mammon, whom Se-un had been watching, was not someone who would lie.

At times like this, I felt that evil gods who were faithful to their desires were more honest than good gods.

“If you’re okay with it, would you like to work with me again this time?”

Baek-hyun, unaware that Se-un was worried about him, brightly suggested a collaboration.

Anyway, I can’t just train 24 hours a day. I have some time left, and Se-un also had quite a few questions about the Corpse Flower.

Above all, information about that large Corpse Flower could be sold to scholars or the Adventurer’s Guild later.

“I’ll go spar first.”

“Then I’ll start first!”

– The Constellation, ‘Mare Who Tramples Death,’ snorts loudly, saying let’s tear apart the petals first.

It seemed that I would be able to spend this rest and maintenance period fruitfully.

* * *

The long and short maintenance time was over.

In the meantime, Baek-hyun had turned both the Corpse Flower and the Demon Beast into Undead, and Kang Han-cheol had mastered the fourth stance of the Tae-eul Sumsu Gong [a martial arts technique] under Se-un’s guidance.

Yu Seo-ah quickly moved around the residence to further strengthen her footwork, and Lee Ha-neul created various medicines with herbs obtained from the swamp.

In addition, everyone developed their own characteristics or played their part for the clan.

It was a period for rest, but not a single person was lazy.

Even Park Jeong-pil was busy helping the twin sisters or Kang Han-cheol with his training.

Of course, it didn’t seem like he was doing it voluntarily.

“Ah-reum, Da-un. Thank you. I was able to sleep comfortably thanks to you.”

“Don’t you think the quality of sleep is different because we have a real bed and cotton bedding?”

“Indeed, beds are science!”

The twin sisters decorated the shelter more beautifully with the materials obtained from the shelter, and the most popular item was the bed.

A bed made using cotton obtained from the shelter and springs made with the help of Go Chang-seok.

The fluffy bed, which reminded people of their memories of Earth, was a blessing to those who had only slept on thick cloths or leather.

Even Se-un took a bed with him.

“Okay, everyone ready?”

“Yes!”

Before challenging the trial, as always, apart from receiving medicine from Lee Ha-neul, everyone was wearing thick coats.

This was because of the information Se-un had given Yu Seo-ah about the next trial.

“As you heard, the next trial is a trial with the theme of cold. We have made the minimum preparations with this, so let’s all do our best this time!”

“Fighting!”

The theme for the trials from the 16th to the 20th floor was the snowy field.

Yu Seo-ah followed Se-un’s words so well that she pretended it was information obtained from the previous floor.

And even if that wasn’t the case, some people had already expected the cold.

The first theme was the mountain.

The second theme was the desert.

The third theme was the swamp.

Those places each represented the four seasons: spring, summer, and autumn. So it was easy to predict that the next theme would be related to winter.

‘And it’s also the theme with the most difficult environment.’

The swamp could be cleared without difficulty if you brought antidotes or found areas with low toxicity and entered the camp.

On the other hand, the next theme, the snowy field, was not like that.

The coats that everyone is wearing now are just the minimum preparation.

The snow that your legs sink into hinders movement, and the bone-chilling cold makes your body sluggish.

The blizzard obscures your vision, and monsters bare their teeth, taking advantage of the gap.

Before his regression, Se-un had seen quite a few players freeze to death in that place, not just monsters.

The difficulty of the next theme was that high.

That’s why Se-un gave a hint in advance and had them prepare coats.

“Everyone will be fine if you just do what you’ve been doing so far! Perhaps, if we pass this theme, there will be another shelter, so let’s all do our best!”

“I wonder what the next shelter will be like!”

“The second shelter was connected to the previous trial, so will this one be a cold place?”

“Ugh, I hate the cold…”

People were joking around, but they didn’t seem to be letting their guard down.

Everyone was used to the tower and the trials, so they had learned how to relax appropriately. Yu Seo-ah knew this, so she waited until people were ready.

Then, when people were slowly getting ready.

“I’ll go first!”

“Let’s go!”

With Yu Seo-ah in the lead, the Diablo Clan began to move to the next floor.

* * *

– Welcome to the 16th floor trial.

– Theme: Snowy Field Gathering

– Time Limit: 48 hours

– You have arrived at the entrance of a snowy field filled with bone-chilling cold.

– Head to the place where the ‘Frozen Giant’ is, passing through the distant snowy field to meet your companions.

There were no abnormalities. As Se-un had experienced, the theme of the 16th floor was the snowy field.

As soon as the location changed, the expected cold enveloped my body.

The only fortunate thing was that it wasn’t snowing yet? A blizzard would hit when we were about halfway through the snowy field.

“Indeed, seeing the tower with my own eyes is different from looking down from above. It’s very beautiful… and warm.”

Mammon’s words about it being warm were not in vain.

The Demon World, where demons lived, was said to be made up of a hellish environment that couldn’t be compared to this place.

The snowy field would instantly turn you into an ice statue if you didn’t wear magic, and the volcanic zone would turn your entire body into ashes the moment you inhaled.

Compared to those places, this place was heaven.

Se-un pulled his robe tighter.

As it was a high grade, it had some warming function, but it didn’t completely block the bone-chilling cold.

Originally, the trial on the 16th floor was to adapt to this cold and move forward step by step with patience, but Se-un had no intention of doing that.

– The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.

[ Yeti’s Hide ]

– The hide of a beast that lives in the deep snowy mountains and only appears on snowy days, the Yeti. It has immunity to cold and camouflage effects in the snow.

I thought maybe long fur would grow like the Yeti, but thankfully that wasn’t the case.

With the feeling of my skin thickening, the cold gradually decreased.

I wasn’t completely adapted yet, so I couldn’t withstand it with my bare body, but if I covered myself with the robe, I could hardly feel the cold.

Not only did I feel less cold, but Se-un’s skin and equipment were turning white.

Camouflage, one of the abilities of the Yeti.

As the snowy field was covered with snow, it became difficult to find Se-un’s white figure just by looking at it.

If a blizzard were to blow in this state, even a monster familiar with the snowy field would have difficulty finding Se-un.

‘If I use Kilkegaard-style stealth [a technique of concealing one’s presence] on top of that…’

Perhaps, monsters would not be able to find Se-un with their eyes.

Thud.

As I stepped forward, the pile of snow grabbed Se-un’s ankle.

It hadn’t snowed yet, so it wasn’t piled up very high, but it was enough to hinder movement.

So.

– The movement of Chosangbi [a movement technique] becomes faster through internal energy.

I run lightly over the snow using Chosangbi, which I also used in the swamp.

Unlike the swamp, the snow was soft, so I couldn’t completely prevent my feet from sinking into it, but the restriction on movement completely disappeared.

‘Where was the direction indicated by the compass of the journey?’

Se-un, who had pulled up his robe and completely covered his head, began to move in earnest.

Of course, the purpose of this trial was not to move quickly without a plan.

Hidden Piece.

Finding the Hidden Piece, which I couldn’t dare to touch before my regression, was Se-un’s first goal.
