Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 168

172

Clang!

Seun and the commander’s fists collided.

As it was the first attack, it wasn’t aimed at a critical hit but rather a feint to gauge the enemy’s level.

Even so, Seun’s strength stat already exceeds 200…

“Indeed, you’re strong! You looked so skinny, I thought you’d be specialized in magic or abilities, but I was wrong! I like you even more!”

She wasn’t pushed back at all by Seun’s fist.

Bronze muscles, particularly noticeable against the white snow, twitched as they received Seun’s fist.

As Seun had expected, she wasn’t someone who should just be in the third shelter.

‘Isn’t it normal for a commander to be strong?’

Even if she is a commander, she’s just the commander of the third shelter.

It didn’t seem like this level of strong person was necessary to stop the monsters here.

‘I don’t know exactly, but it seemed like she had a reason beyond simply stopping the monsters.’

“Kuoong!”

The white bear, called Kung, roared powerfully, and the second clash began.

However, this time, the commander’s movements were completely different from the first time.

If the first clash was a simple linear attack, now she spreads her legs wide and stretches her hands long as if they were touching the floor.

She lowers her center of gravity to the extreme and runs quickly around the outside.

As she ran around the outside like a wolf guarding against an enemy, she suddenly flashed her eyes and abruptly changed direction, jumping at Seun.

‘Front… no, behind!’

Thwack!

“Hahahaha! You seem to have plenty of practical experience, and your senses are amazing! You have the skills to be promoted to a cadre [a small group of people specially trained for a particular purpose or profession] in our army right away!”

She, who had been running straight ahead, jumped up right in front of Seun and attacked his back while spinning like a swallow.

Thanks to rapidly rotating his waist and raising his guard, he was able to block the attack.

Even stronger power than the first clash.

Even though he blocked it properly, he felt a heavy impact on his wrist. It felt like he had been directly hit by a giant bear’s forepaw.

‘Is this the commander’s fighting style?’

It was completely different from the enemies he had faced so far.

He thought she was similar to Kang Han-cheol, but she was completely different from Kang Han-cheol, who stubbornly pushed his opponent with his large size and natural strength.

Beast. It was as if the power of various beasts was melted into her body.

Then, she flashed her hidden fangs and rushed at Seun again.

– Through internal energy, the first stance of the Eight Trigrams Palm [a Chinese martial art characterized by its circular movements and emphasis on palm techniques], the Lower Pagoda Palm, is strengthened.

As if she wouldn’t wait this time, Seun thrust out his palm first.

Not only was the preparation motion extremely short, but she was already right in front of him, so he thought it would definitely hit.

As it was the first stance, its power wasn’t strong, but if this attack hit, he could push in the next consecutive attack.

As he thought so and tried to continue the attack,

Swoosh-

Her figure lowered abnormally in front of his eyes.

Her center of gravity was already low, but now she was stuck to the floor like a snake, aiming for Seun’s attack.

He desperately stretched out his leg using the Ten Road Leg Technique, but this also didn’t reach her.

Soon after, she smiled so wide that both fangs were visible and stretched out her hand while raising her upper body.

“I was wrong! You weren’t someone who would stop at being a cadre! At this point, I can understand why you rejected my offer!”

A large palm aims for Seun’s neck like a wolf’s mouth.

He used the Mud Step to turn his body halfway and quickly pulled his neck out, but her hand chased Seun like a separate living animal.

A fighting style different from any enemy he had fought so far.

Adding the experiences from before the regression, Seun was confident that he wouldn’t be inferior to anyone in practical experience, but it was difficult to predict her attack path.

‘But I can’t show a losing appearance.’

If he just dragged out time and got used to the attacks, winning wouldn’t be a problem, but she was testing Seun’s strength right now.

He had no intention of showing a weak side to such an opponent.

Seun, who deflected her attack through the mysteries of Tai Chi [an internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits], immediately manifested the Authority of Greed.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Ice White Divine Palm (氷白神掌) ]

– A martial art representing the Northern Sea Ice Palace, known to freely control the surrounding Yin energy [the receptive and passive principle of the universe] as the Yin energy accumulates.

Seun’s hand, which had learned the martial arts of the Northern Sea Ice Palace, grew cold.

The commander, who noticed the change, instinctively distanced herself quickly, but Seun’s first target wasn’t her.

– Through internal energy, the second stance of the Ice White Divine Palm, Ice Field (氷場), is strengthened.

Crack!

As Seun slammed his palm towards the floor, the surrounding snow sank and hardened around it.

The snow, which had piled up to his knees, was thinly compressed and turned into a transparent ice rink.

“It doesn’t seem like magic, but it’s amazing!”

The Ice White Divine Palm wasn’t just a technique to repeatedly unleash ice and attack the opponent.

As a martial art representing the Northern Sea Ice Palace, it freely controls not only one’s own Yin energy but also the surrounding environment.

The representative stance of this is the Ice Field.

It is a technique that changes the surrounding terrain into an ice rink to interfere with the opponent’s movements, but…

“Haha, this is fun!”

Even though the surroundings had turned into an ice rink, she wasn’t flustered at all.

She freely slid on the ice as if she were skating, and adjusted her direction by scratching the ice with her sharp nails.

Regardless, Seun took his hand off the floor, got up from his seat, and continued the next attack.

– Through internal energy, the third stance of the Ice White Divine Palm, Ice Halberd (氷戟), is strengthened.

Crack!

Seun thrust his palm out, ignoring the distance between him and her.

Then, the cold Yin energy dwelling in his dantian [the center of the body where energy is stored, according to traditional Chinese medicine] wriggled and appeared as sharp thorns.

The attack range was terrible compared to magic, but conversely, the casting speed was overwhelmingly faster than magic.

Ice thorns that stretched out as Seun’s hand moved.

Even magic that applied the mysteries of the Self-reliance Pagoda couldn’t manifest this quickly.

This was only possible because it was the Ice White Divine Palm, a martial art containing the essence of the Northern Sea Ice Palace.

Crack, crack!

Ice thorns rose in succession, but she jumped around like a rabbit and dodged the attacks well.

Even though she would suffer a fatal wound if she was hit even once, she didn’t lose her smile as if it was fun.

She even became familiar with the pattern and launched counterattacks at Seun.

In the meantime, Seun slammed his palm once again towards the floor, not the air.

A giant ice thorn that protruded towards her back, not under her feet this time.

At the same time, the commander’s movement, which had been sliding quickly on the ice rink, stopped.

“Haha, did you predict even this!”

Except for the front, her sides and back were all blocked by ice thorns.

Her jumping ability wouldn’t be able to avoid this, but she could feel it with her animal-like instincts.

Trying to get over the thorns would only allow Seun’s attack.

“Is this the last shot! Good!”

She, who had given up on escaping, leaned her shoulders back greatly and took the form of a threatening bear.

Seun also calmly moved his steps, preparing for the last shot.

The snow, which had gradually become heavier, obscured the view, and the sound of snow being stepped on could be heard on the ice rink.

And.

“Kuoong!”

With the cry of the white bear, Kung, the two’s attacks collided.

– Through internal energy, the fifth stance of the Ice White Divine Palm, Ice Mountain (氷山), is strengthened.

– According to the mysteries of the Ice White Divine Art, cold air is added to the martial art.

Kwaaaang!!

Following Seun’s movement, the snow fluttering on the snow covered her upper body. The ice rink rose sharply and covered her lower body.

She resisted all of this and took a big step forward with her bronze legs, reaching out with a bear-like fist, but by the time that fist touched Seun.

“Haha, it seems I’ve really lost!”

Her body was already buried in the snow and hardened.

* * *

“It was good to have a fight! It was a hot match after a long time! It was a bit cold at the end, though. Hahaha!”

After the battle, Seun used magic to melt her frozen body.

The white bear brought a black cloak and wrapped it around her back, rubbing its white fur while groaning.

It seemed to be doing that because it was worried that its owner would be cold, and that appearance looked quite cute.

“Let’s go in for now! I’ll go inside and explain why I called you!”

Even though the ice had melted thanks to Seun, her whole body had been frozen until just now, but she lightly shook her body to get rid of the aftereffects of being frozen and put her arm around Seun’s shoulder.

The damage she had taken from the previous battle seemed to have already been completely recovered.

Freezing, piling up, breaking, etc.

Leaving behind a scene of chaos that was hard to see as traces of a sparring match, she opened the door leading to the inside of the Frost Fortress.

Creak-

‘Hmm?’

The iron door was stiff because it had frozen again as the snow became heavier.

Seun didn’t panic and pushed the door with force.

“Ouch!”

Thump!

A panicked voice and the sound of something rolling down could be heard from behind the door.

When the door was fully opened, a group of soldiers who had rolled down the stairs and piled up were visible.

Just in time, Seun and the commander came out of the iron door, and their eyes met.

“Hmm? What are you guys doing there?”

“No, that’s…”

“How could we not watch when our sister was fighting!”

“I noticed that the adjutant was sighing, so I ran over right away!”

Ah, was that so.

It seemed that they had been secretly hiding behind the door from the beginning to watch the commander’s battle.

It was a statement that could be subject to disciplinary action, but she didn’t seem to care at all.

In response, the soldier who was sprawled out on top stood up and sparkled his eyes.

“So who won! The snow suddenly got so heavy at the end that I couldn’t see! Did our sister win after all?”

“Hahahaha! Is that what you were curious about!”

She shouted loudly at the soldier’s question.

The hearty laughter went down the stairs and seemed to fill the Frost Fortress.

The soldiers who had been holding back their curiosity and circling around also quietly approached the stairs and listened.

As if she knew that, she shouted louder than usual.

“I, Seri Buccaneer!”

Her voice echoed down the stairs.

Seun was thinking of glossing over it as a draw, but she announced the results proudly instead.

“Lost to him!!”

Her thunderous voice spread not only to the stairs but to the entire Frost Fortress.

The soldiers began to make dumbfounded expressions.

“S, sister lost?”

“The commander…”

Seun was also panicked.

Even if she had a good personality, he didn’t know that she would openly spread the news of her defeat like this.

The soldiers, who had heard the shocking news of the commander’s defeat, were stunned as if they were in a panic.

“What are you all doing! Tonight is a festival to commemorate my defeat!”

As soon as the absurd sound of a defeat commemoration festival rang out,

“Our sister has been defeated!”

“Wow, isn’t this the first time? I thought the opponent would be a bloody mess again this time, so I had the medics on standby!”

“The commander has been defeated!”

“Get the alcohol ready quickly!”

The soldiers also laughed and moved to prepare for a real festival.

It was a situation that was difficult to understand with common sense, but because she had her arm around Seun’s neck, Seun also moved towards the festival.

It seemed that he would only be able to hear the reason why she called him after the festival was over.
