I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 170

Episode 170

– You have successfully completed the 20th floor trial, ‘Lake of Despair’.

– Calculating contribution points…….

– Boss monster ‘Dragon of Despair’ slain.

– Boss monster ‘White Specter of Despair’ slain.

– Additional bonus for all companions passing.

…

– Total accumulated contribution points: 400,000.

– Congratulations! You have cleared the 20th floor trial with a rank of 1st.

– You have acquired 100,000 points as a reward.

– Welcome to the third shelter, Frost Fortress.

Thump!

After the gates of Frost Fortress closed, the soldiers who had been watching the players enter stood dumbfounded, mouths agape.

“……Did you see that?”

“Right? I’m not seeing things, am I?”

“Heh heh…….”

It was all because of the strike Se-un unleashed just before entering the fortress.

A strike using the ‘Evil Dragon’s Treasure Sword, Hrotti’.

It wasn’t just emitting waves of malice, but it had the power to recreate the breath of the evil dragon Fafnir, who could be called the owner of the treasure sword.

Although they couldn’t watch until the end because the gate was closing, the jet-black breath was thickly covering the ice lake.

The monsters touched by the breath let out sharp screams and melted away, so at least hundreds… no, thousands of monsters must have met their end with that one strike.

The soldiers who directly witnessed that surreal sight were looking at Se-un with expressions as if they were looking at a monster.

Regardless, Se-un was calmly analyzing the power of Durendal that had been unsealed through the attack just now.

‘As expected, I can reproduce the power of the relic more perfectly as the seal is released.’

The Authority of Gluttony.

The power of the relics summoned from there was not perfect.

Even if you use the same relic, the power that is manifested differs depending on what item you use to reproduce it.

If used on an ordinary twig, it crumbles before it can even manifest its power, and ordinary weapons have a limit of being used only once, and even then, they don’t exert even half of their original power.

At least with Durendal, it was able to manifest the power of the relic to some extent.

And now, Se-un was able to draw out the power of the relic more perfectly than ever before.

‘The message I saw at the end.’

– The sword that split the rock, Durendal, unleashes the evil energy dormant in ‘Hrotti’.

– The breath of the evil dragon is recreated through ‘Hrotti’.

Releasing the energy dormant in the relic was possible with other weapons as well.

However, that felt more like the weapon couldn’t withstand the energy inside and exploded, rather than manifesting the power of the weapon.

On the other hand, this attack was different.

The power of the relic was manifested in a formalized form called ‘Breath’.

If I control it well, I might be able to increase the time I control the power of the relic.

The power of the sealed and unsealed states was more different than Se-un had thought.

He even felt grateful to the remnants of Francis Hamel.

– The Authority of Gluttony has designated the entire ‘Lake of Despair’.

– The Fangs of Gluttony are engulfing the monsters!

Although it couldn’t be seen because the gate was closed, the Fangs of Gluttony would be rising above the lake by now.

Including the monsters killed while moving through the lake and the attack using ‘Hrotti’ at the end.

Even Se-un thought the number of monsters killed was enormous.

Of course, even if you kill a lot of the same type of monster, there was a limit to how much your stats would increase.

– Internal energy and mana are being greatly absorbed.

Unlike that, internal energy and mana were steadily accumulating.

After recently achieving 4 cycles of internal energy and reaching the 5th Circle, the internal energy and mana, which had been sluggishly accumulating, were rapidly filling up.

The rising energy was so clearly felt that it was palpable.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ cheers as he looks at the prey filling the table.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ begins to eat, opening his mouth wide to make room before the table breaks.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ gives you a thumbs up, saying that this is enough to last a day.

Looking at the messages floating in front of him, it seemed that the second goal of satisfying Beelzebub was sufficient.

After roughly grasping the situation, he looked ahead and saw the soldiers dealing with the players.

‘Well, this isn’t a free atmosphere like other shelters.’

Frost Fortress.

Like its name and appearance, this place was not like an ordinary village.

It was literally a fortress. A defensive facility built militarily to block the monsters of the lake.

The people residing there were all soldiers, and the atmosphere was just as strict. Therefore, there was a limit to the convenience facilities that could be used, and you had to be mindful of the soldiers to stay there.

“Next.”

The soldiers were quite meticulously identifying the players’ information.

They identified the weapons they used, their level, and asked about the items and contribution points they had.

They were things that could be deceived, but most of the players were exhausted and were spitting out only the truth without thinking.

The Diablo Clan was the same.

They cooperated with the soldiers’ questions, wanting to rest as soon as possible.

The number of people who passed the trial was quite large, so the line was shrinking slower than expected.

“Good. Pass.”

After Yoo Seo-ah passed, it was Se-un’s turn to enter last.

But was it because of the force he showed at the end?

As Se-un took a step forward, the soldiers flinched and took a step back.

Just as he was frowning, wondering what they were doing, a new soldier hurriedly ran from behind.

“Ch, Charge!”

“What? Why are you here?”

“The commander is calling for you!”

“Me? I don’t remember causing any accidents recently. Ah, if it’s about the liquor…….”

“No! It’s the one who passed through the gate last…… Ah, it’s that person!”

“What? Black Bear is personally calling for him?”

The soldiers surrounding him focused their attention on Se-un with bewildered expressions.

* * *

‘The commander of the 3rd shelter.’

Se-un tried to recall his memories from before his regression, but he had almost no information about the commander.

Players rarely had the chance to meet the commander-in-chief of Frost Fortress.

There were rumors that you could meet them when you made great contributions or had special requests, but he had never actually met them.

The only fact he knew was…….

‘Black Bear.’

The fact that the commander was called Black Bear by the soldiers here.

Of course, they wouldn’t actually call the commander that in front of them…….

“Please come this way!”

The soldier who introduced himself as the adjutant led Se-un.

After climbing several iron stairs and reaching the top floor of the fortress where no more stairs were visible, he was finally able to reach the commander’s office.

A door that was surprisingly huge for a door blocked the way.

It was covered with what appeared to be animal fur, and its unique wildness stood out.

Before opening the door and entering.

“Um…….”

The adjutant sighed softly and spoke to Se-un.

Whether it was because he had witnessed Se-un’s heroic deeds, or for some other reason, he was sweating profusely and trying to protect himself.

A person who was supposedly the commander’s adjutant was in that state.

It even made him think that the commander might not be that special after all.

“Do you know the military etiquette?”

Even before his regression, he had stayed at the 3rd shelter for quite a while, but he had no reason to become close with the soldiers, so he didn’t care about the etiquette.

Learning the soldiers’ etiquette was like a waste of time among the players.

When Se-un shook his head, the adjutant sighed again and explained the basic etiquette.

“First of all, the most important thing is posture. Never bend your back, and keep your feet together. Spread your toes at a 45-degree angle and your right arm…….”

The timid appearance from a moment ago was gone, and the adjutant began to teach the etiquette strictly.

He was so passionate that Se-un followed his words without complaint.

Fortunately, the posture was quickly learned because it was not much different from the existing etiquette that Se-un knew.

After the posture correction was completed, the adjutant grabbed the doorknob and uttered his last words.

“Our commander likes a confident appearance. If you remember that, there won’t be any big problems. ……Maybe.”

Thump!

The door opened slowly, making a dull sound as large as its size.

He expected the room to be warm since it was the commander’s office, but rather, a colder chill flowed out than in the hallway.

‘A hunter’s room would be more fitting than a commander’s office.’

What he saw as soon as the door opened was a collection of stuffed animals and monsters, such as snow trolls, winter jaguars, and wyverns with their wings spread wide.

Among them was one of a monster similar to the water dragon that Se-un had hunted while passing through the ice lake, but only its head was stuffed separately due to its size.

In the center of the room, a realistic stuffed polar bear was biting into the meat attached to a large femur bone as if it were alive…….

“Kuooh?”

……No, a living polar bear was eating.

A polar bear in the commander’s office?

Just before he was about to be shocked, wondering if the commander’s true identity was really a bear.

The adjutant suddenly rotated his body 90 degrees to the left like a protractor and showed a sharp salute as he had taught Se-un.

“Charge! Adjutant Dayton! I greet the commander!”

“Hup, hoo……. So stiffly…… Hup! You don’t have to do that. Hoo…….”

Se-un also turned his body to observe the etiquette, and only then could he confirm the commander’s appearance.

A physique that might be similar to Kang Cheol [a Korean celebrity known for his muscular build] and wild hair.

She was doing back exercises while grabbing the horns of a stuffed deer head embedded in the wall, and each time, the muscles of her tanned skin were wriggling wildly.

Even in the chilly room, it felt like only her surroundings were hot.

“As you ordered, I have brought the one who entered the fortress last.”

Thud.

“As expected of our adjutant! I haven’t even finished 10 sets yet, but you’re fast!”

The commander took her hand off the deer horns and came down to the floor.

He wondered if he would have to talk to her in that state close to underwear, but fortunately, she unfolded the cloak hanging next to her and put it on her back.

Looking closely, the cloak also appeared to be made of the skin of a wild beast, not ordinary cloth.

The black cloak made the word ‘Black Bear,’ which the soldiers used to call her, even more fitting.

“Jeong Se-un.”

At Se-un’s salute, the adjutant sweated without even turning his head. This was because Se-un had omitted most of the etiquette he had taught him in advance.

However, Se-un remembered his precautions better than anyone else.

The commander likes a confident appearance.

He judged that it would be better to be as honest as possible in front of such a person than to force an etiquette.

Showing ‘Charge’ or salutes that didn’t come from the heart wouldn’t work for her.

So, Se-un stood tall, maintaining minimal etiquette rather than etiquette.

In the silence that followed, the adjutant couldn’t lower his salute and swallowed hard, but suddenly the commander-in-chief’s arm covered Se-un.

Until her arm touched him, Se-un kept his eyes open and didn’t bend his back at all.

Thud.

“Hahahaha! I really like you! My name is Seri Buccaneer. Won’t you come work under me?”

Her thick arm wrapped around Se-un’s shoulder, and a hearty laugh echoed in the commander’s office.
