Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 183

I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 187 (183/675)

Episode 187

Se-un was greatly impressed as soon as the door opened.

Swords with blades as transparent as ice, armor sparkling like diamonds, and even boots made of leather that Se-un had never seen before.

Behind them, rare monster materials were neatly organized.

It was a pity that these items were left unused in this cold warehouse.

“Our fortress hasn’t been idle either. We’ve been hunting various monsters, resolving disasters, and protecting the fortress.”

The commander went inside and picked up a thick fang.

It wasn’t just because it was in a cold warehouse; the fang itself radiated a chill.

It was clearly from an extraordinary monster.

“There used to be many rare monsters, though they’ve decreased recently. We struggled quite a bit to catch this one!”

“Then these equipment pieces are…?”

“They were made using mana stones and rare materials obtained here. As this place is important for both research and defense, the empire provided a lot of support.”

“Are you sure it’s okay to give them to us?”

“Many were made for experimental purposes anyway, and most are difficult to use properly. I don’t prefer using weapons myself, so don’t worry! Hahaha!”

Se-un picked up the greatsword that was most visible first.

He was confident in his strength, even after assimilating the tendons of a Black Ogre, but it felt quite stiff to hold with one hand.

‘So that’s why.’

If it was difficult for Se-un to hold and use with one hand, it would be impossible for ordinary soldiers to use. No, it wouldn’t just be a matter of using it; lifting it would be impossible.

Even a commander would barely be able to use it by swinging it with both hands.

However, the abilities attached to the item were amazing.

It was an A+ grade weapon with tremendous attack power that compensated for the disadvantage of being heavy, and it even had defensive capabilities.

It was described as being able to unleash frost with each swing, allowing for wide-area attacks, so it was a weapon that a defensive swordsman with high strength stats would definitely covet.

‘But I don’t need a sword.’

No matter how good the swords here are, they can’t match Durandal’s performance.

The most important criterion for a weapon that Se-un needed was durability.

Durability to withstand the power of Mammon’s relics.

Without that, it would be difficult to use any weapon, no matter how good it was.

“I’ll take this!”

“Oh, that’s a perfect weapon for you! It’s made using the twin horns of a Twin-Head Rhino, and scholars have inscribed different magics on it.”

– The Constellation, ‘The Crowned Spider,’ nods, saying it suits you well even in their eyes.

Yu Seo-ah chose a pair of swords with pure white blades.

Different runes and magic circles were inscribed on each side, and even Se-un found it difficult to immediately discern their abilities.

Since the Tower has countless floors and countless magics associated with them, Se-un couldn’t know about all the magics even after regressing.

It seemed like too hasty of a choice, but Se-un looked around and immediately nodded.

There was no equipment here that suited Yu Seo-ah better than those twin swords.

As it was her main weapon, she quickly recognized her equipment.

“Se-un, what are you going to choose?”

“Hmm….”

He had no intention of choosing the reward for an S-class quest carelessly.

Yu Seo-ah could choose quickly because her main weapon was clear, but Se-un was closer to an all-rounder who utilized all weapons.

First, exclude swords and spears.

Se-un’s combat style itself was focused on evasion rather than defense, so he also excluded armor.

What was left was, of course.

‘A bow, I guess.’

Among Mammon’s relics, the most common types after swords and spears were bows and arrows.

To utilize them right away, he needed a bow with excellent durability.

Even if it had good performance, if the durability was insufficient, he would have to look for other types of weapons.

“Looking for a bow, I see! If it’s a bow, there are many types. All five bows you see here have good performance.”

The bows, each with its own distinct personality, welcomed Se-un.

The first bow.

It was a bow with a soft feel, as if it were made of snow, and the elasticity of the bow was tremendous.

High elasticity meant that the force to withstand impact was also strong, so he lightly pulled the string, but….

‘This won’t work.’

He realized as soon as he pulled the bowstring.

It was true that the elasticity was good, but its limitations were too clear.

If Mammon’s relic were to dwell in it, it felt like it would crumble without withstanding the force, regardless of the elasticity.

“This is a bow I recommend! With your strength, you should be able to use it sufficiently!”

The second bow was a longbow about the size of Se-un’s height.

In contrast to the first bow, the bow was so taut that it seemed difficult to even pull the bowstring with ordinary strength.

Of course, Se-un’s strength would allow him to use it without any problems, but….

‘This is a bit ambiguous too.’

Longbows are large, which imposes many restrictions on their use.

Se-un had an interdimensional pocket [a magical storage space], so there would be no problem carrying it around, but his mobility would be greatly reduced the moment he took out the longbow during combat.

Leaving behind the disappointed commander, he moved on to the next bow.

Ignoring the basic concept of a bow that shoots arrows using elasticity, it was a transparent bow made entirely of ice that seemed to have no elasticity at all.

Even if scholars made it for experimental purposes, they didn’t even know the basic concept of a bow.

He was about to move on to the next bow, but Se-un’s eyes widened as he checked the information to at least confirm its performance.

[ Bow of Immortality (不死弓) ]

Classification: Bow

Grade: S-

Description: A bow made using the primordial ice and snow that existed in the deepest part of the far north. It has been imprinted with the form of a bow and will never be ‘destroyed’.

Abilities: 1. Immortality (不死) – Cannot be destroyed. Automatically regenerates when durability is consumed.

2. Eternal Ice (永遠) – Grants the attribute of ice that does not melt to all attacks using the Bow of Immortality.

3. Ice Arrow (氷矢) – An arrow made of ice is automatically created when the bow is drawn.

4. Freeze (凍結) – When attacking using an Ice Arrow, the affected area is rapidly frozen, hindering movement.

Bow of Immortality.

It was truly ironic that the name Immortality (不死) was attached to a weapon that was not a living thing.

Looking at its abilities, it didn’t seem particularly strong for an S- grade.

Immortality and Ice Arrow were both based on the ability of regeneration.

If you were a player who specialized in using bows, it would be better to choose a bow that was specialized in attack, even if the grade was one lower.

However, Se-un was different.

‘If it can never be destroyed….’

No matter what weapon he used, it would be difficult to withstand Mammon’s relics unless it was Durandal.

Even if it was a relatively sturdy weapon, its durability would be consumed after using it a few times, and it would eventually break.

In that situation, the Bow of Immortality’s ability made Se-un’s eyes sparkle.

“Hmm, are you perhaps trying to choose that? General, think again. It’s certainly a good bow, but the Dragon Fang Bow made by carving the teeth of a dragon placed at the end looks better.”

“No, I’ll choose this.”

“It seems you’ve already made up your mind. Then, how about this?”

The commander took out the two bows he had been recommending.

Then, he moved towards the door of the warehouse and said to Se-un.

“I’ll let you use all three bows and choose the one you like. I’m giving you special attention because it’s you, General!”

He seemed to want to take care of Se-un in any way he could.

Honestly, he had already made up his mind even without checking the remaining two bows, but….

‘I was planning to take on a quest to check its abilities anyway.’

There was no reason for Se-un to refuse the offer.

* * *

“Is this a secret passage?”

“Good eye! It’s a passage dug out for scouting purposes so you can move without being detected by monsters.”

Even Se-un, who prided himself on wandering around the snowy fields while challenging many quests in the Third Shelter before his regression, was seeing this passage for the first time.

Looking at the direction of movement, it seemed to continue all the way to the opposite side of the lake.

There were also paths that branched off in the middle, each leading to key points in the snowy field.

However, it was only large enough for one person to move through, so it was literally for scouting purposes only. It was not suitable for moving in units for combat purposes.

After walking for a while, they went up through a path that branched off to the left.

What appeared was a scene similar to what he had seen during the Trial of the 20th Floor. A place where the Lake of Despair could be seen at a glance.

“I’m not even tired of seeing where they keep appearing from!”

Before entering the Frost Fortress, Se-un had a record of wiping out monsters using Mammon’s relics to test the power of Durandal.

In addition, he had cleared out quite a few monsters that existed on the way to Saha’s Predator with Baek-hyun.

However, the Lake of Despair was now filled with new monsters as if nothing had happened.

It was truly a breathtaking sight, but it was also a perfect place to test the power of the bow.

“Well, let’s use it right away!”

“Yes.”

“Hmm, are you thinking of using that first? How about using this Dragon Fang Bow first instead!”

“No. I’ll use this first.”

Se-un took out the Bow of Immortality.

As described as being made of ice, he felt a chill in his hand, but rather than being uncomfortable, it felt like it fit perfectly in his hand.

It was as if his hand and the bow had become one.

Enjoying the cool sensation, he touched the white string.

He didn’t know what material it was made of, but it was quite elastic.

Drrr-.

As he pulled the bowstring, a chill gathered between them, and a sharp arrow was created.

Fwing-.

First, a light shot.

Even without putting much force into it, the arrow flew coolly and pierced the head of one of the monsters.

Immediately after.

This time, it wasn’t just one arrow.

As he drew up mana [magical energy], two more arrows were created on either side of the original arrow.

– Through internal energy, ‘Grad Empire Law’ is enhanced.

He drew up internal energy and pulled the bowstring with all his might.

Regardless of whether the bow would break, he pulled with all his strength, and the ice-made bow screamed and cracked.

Nevertheless, Se-un did not let go.

Trusting the description that it would never be destroyed, he released his hand only after pulling it to the point where the arrowhead was barely caught on the bow.

Then.

Swaaek-!

Pbpbpbpbook!!

The three arrows flew with blue trajectories and pierced through dozens of monsters at once.

As if there was still strength left, it was deeply embedded in the frozen lake floor.

The bow, which had been cracking, was completely restored as if nothing had happened.

A regeneration speed beyond expectations.

At this rate, it seemed like there would be no problem even if he fired rapidly with force.

“Hmm. Your archery skills are amazing. The more I see you, the more I want you! But even if you don’t push yourself so hard, this Dragon Fang Bow is more powerful….”

“There’s still one more thing to test.”

“Hmm?”

Se-un picked up the bow again.

Now that he had confirmed that the bow could withstand strength and martial arts, it was time to use the Authority of Greed.

– The Treasure Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Spirit Light Golden Turtle Divine Crossbow (靈光金龜神機弩) ]

– A crossbow known for its One Shot, Thousand Hits (一發千中), where a thousand people are hit by an arrow with just one shot.

Although it was the power of a crossbow rather than a bow, he couldn’t not use it because of such a difference.

Se-un had actually used Durandal to use the power of relics of different types of swords, such as greatswords.

He thought there would be no problem with this either.

And that thought was perfectly correct, and the power of the ‘Spirit Light Golden Turtle Divine Crossbow’ perfectly permeated the Bow of Immortality.

Gggggggek-.

He pulled the bowstring greatly.

Again, he didn’t worry about it breaking.

Ignoring the cracks, he pulled the bowstring with all his might and shot the arrow not at the monsters, but towards the sky.

Swaaek-!

The arrow went so high that it was not visible in sight.

And after a while, the clear sky without a single cloud gradually darkened.

The reason was simple.

The one arrow that Se-un shot up was falling as thousands of arrows.

The arrows, so thick that they blocked the sunlight, fell like rain on the monsters.

Pbpbpbpbpbook-!!

“Kieeeek!”

“Kehk!”

“Geueo-“

As befitting the power of the Spirit Light Golden Turtle Divine Crossbow, a thousand monsters at once. No, thousands of monsters died from that one attack.

“Khmm….”

The commander, who was watching this, quietly picked up the two bows he had brought.

It seemed that his recommendation was just unnecessary meddling.
