Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 203

207

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ smacks his lips, saying the taste is missing something by 2%.

Normally, Beelzebub would have made a fuss, saying it was delicious as soon as he used the Authority of Gluttony, but this time he couldn’t help but agree. The stolen food was a significant loss.

After all, he had nearly half of his food stolen right before his eyes.

The amount his stats increased also seemed to have decreased a bit, but he didn’t care about that much. The growth of the clan is more important than these small amounts of stats.

‘At this rate, we won’t be pushed back even if we fight a lower-ranked guild right now.’

Guilds are different from clans in terms of scale.

The number of people in a guild is usually at least 100, so at least twice as many as a clan.

Moreover, this is only the minimum; most guilds have anywhere from 200 to over 1,000 members.

Nevertheless, Se-un didn’t think the Diablo Clan would ever be pushed back by them.

That’s how overwhelming the Diablo Clan’s power was.

– You have successfully completed the trial of the 27th floor, ‘Sudden Fall.’

– Calculating contribution points…….

– Hidden quest ‘Simmering in the Abyss’ completed.

…….

– Total accumulated contribution points: 250,200 points.

– Congratulations! You have passed the trial of the 27th floor in 1st place.

– Acquired 100,000 points as a reward.

Thanks to catching the Abyss Scarab, he was able to pass this trial in first place as well.

‘Well, ordinary players wouldn’t even think about touching the bottom of the sinkhole.’

No, even if they somehow woke up the Abyss Scarab, it would have been impossible to hunt it.

Se-un hunted it more easily than he thought, but that was only because Se-un and the Diablo Clan were strong.

Even if they somehow fought it, if the Abyss Scarab ran away like it did at the last moment, they wouldn’t have been able to catch it, and the battle would have ended in vain.

“Wow, that’s a lot of contribution points.”

“As expected, if you follow Blood Wolf *oppa* [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend], you get lucky even while sleeping, right?”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

Other clan members also participated in the Abyss Scarab hunt, so they earned high contribution points.

It wasn’t as much as Se-un, who landed the final blow, but some of those who were heavily involved in the hunt even received ranking rewards.

“It seems like this trial is all connected from the 21st floor to the 30th floor.”

“I feel like some of the story is missing in the middle, but compared to other trials, it’s definitely like that, right?”

“The next trial looks like it’s just crossing this bridge!”

“But this bridge looks a little unstable, doesn’t it?”

The twin sisters approached and observed the bridge.

Both of them had excellent knowledge of construction, so they immediately recognized the condition of the bridge.

However, there was nothing they could do right now. The trial of the next floor would begin the moment they crossed the bridge, so all they could do was observe and predict.

“Is everyone finished resting?”

“Perfect! It’s not hard at all since we’re all doing it together!”

In fact, the Diablo Clan was perfectly fine without a single scratch.

The trial of the 27th floor was originally a trial without combat, but the sinkholes that existed like traps were very threatening.

It was a trial that Se-un could have been in danger if he didn’t have the Guidepost of the Journey.

‘The 28th floor…….’

Se-un recalled his past life and began to bounce in place, loosening his legs.

Yu Seo-ah noticed the next trial vaguely as she watched him.

“Everyone, loosen your legs enough! You never know what might happen on the bridge, so it might be a battle of stamina!”

With that, they each loosened their bodies and prepared for the next trial.

Everyone nodded at Yu Seo-ah’s command, and the moment they took their first step on the bridge, the trial of the 28th floor began.

– Welcome to the trial of the 28th floor.

– Theme: The Approaching End

– You have overcome all trials and walked the path, finally arriving at the bridge leading to the final castle.

– You are not the only ones who have arrived. Work together to reach the final castle.

“Wow, the theme is grandiose.”

“Doesn’t it fit perfectly? Earthquakes, volcanoes, and even wildfires. At this rate, it really feels like the end is near.”

“By the way, it says we’re not the only ones, so are other players doing it with us?”

“Like the 20th floor trial?”

People were puzzled because there was no reaction even after the trial began.

The sea breeze was cool, and the surface of the water was calm. So much so that they forgot all the hardships they had overcome so far.

Then, the voices of people began to be heard from behind the bridge.

“Kyaaak!”

“Ru, run away! The ground, the ground is collapsing!”

“……People?”

Naturally, the Diablo Clan’s gaze also turned to the back of the bridge.

There, dozens… no, hundreds of people were approaching this way.

Players?

No.

The Diablo Clan members had encountered many players while climbing up to this point, so they could clearly distinguish between players and residents of the Tower.

The people approaching now were wearing shabby clothes that people from the Middle Ages would wear. They were carrying bundles on their backs, but no matter how you looked at it, they were not players.

‘Those people are the key to this trial.’

The trial of the 28th floor is not simply crossing the bridge.

You have to protect the people who are running away and cross the bridge. It was a trial similar to rescuing the baby birds on the 26th floor.

The number of citizens is about twice the number of players.

Well, even if you fail to rescue the citizens, you won’t fail the trial, but you will receive terrible contribution points.

In his past life, Se-un only managed to rescue one out of the two people assigned to him.

“H, hyung [older brother]! There, behind us!”

“I can see it.”

Behind the fleeing people. A huge sinkhole was ominously opening and collapsing on the ground.

It wasn’t just a few more sinkholes appearing. The entire ground was collapsing.

The volcanoes and forests they had passed through were already sinking into the ground and were no longer visible.

What was visible below the collapsed ground was an endless abyss.

Only then did the Diablo Clan members begin to recognize the true nature of the trial.

“Sh, damn it! What is this! Run away!”

“Wait a minute! The trial clearly states that we should ‘all work together’ to reach the castle!”

“No, it’s hard enough to save my own body, who’s going to save who!”

“Park Jung-pil.”

“Ah, hyung! Aish, I don’t know! Hey! Follow me quickly!”

The moment the citizens arrived at the bridge, the full-scale trial began.

As the ground completely collapsed, the bridge naturally began to collapse, and the seawater on both sides made a ‘shuaaa!’ sound as it was sucked down below the ground.

“Uwaaaah!”

“Run!”

“Th, the bridge!”

“Grab on.”

“Thank you!”

As the twin sisters said, the bridge was originally structurally unstable, so as soon as the ground collapsed, it began to collapse without a moment’s rest.

Some of the citizens were gritting their teeth and running desperately, but there were also those who were physically weak, such as children and the elderly.

Kang Han-cheol and a few others with stamina grabbed them, and Baek-hyun summoned undead to carry them.

The twin sisters were repairing the bridge from time to time to delay the collapse as much as possible while moving.

“Still, it’s strangely manageable?”

“Don’t let your guard down! You never know what other anomalies might occur!”

“Hey, the world is collapsing behind us right now, what else could happen here… Uh, uh? Th, that!”

Fortunately, the speed at which the earth was collapsing was slower than the speed at which they were running.

When the twin sisters rubbed eternal snow on the important joints of the bridge, the speed at which the bridge collapsed also slowed down.

Thanks to this, the speed at which the bridge was collapsing was gradually moving away, and then the second anomaly of the trial appeared.

Shuaaaaa-!

“A tsunami!”

At the end of the field of vision, the sea horizon was rising high.

The closer the horizon got, the larger it grew, and soon it became so large that it blocked out the sun.

The earth collapsed and the water drained away, and a tsunami was created as the water rapidly flowed towards that place.

Not only that, but even before the tsunami hit, the waves were surging and shaking the bridge.

It wouldn’t collapse right away, but as the ground became unstable, they couldn’t run at full speed. The stamina they were losing to maintain their balance also increased.

“Everyone, hurry!”

“Damn it, I can’t avoid that, can I?”

The first tsunami was right in front of them.

The Diablo Clan members wouldn’t be harmed by that level of tsunami, but the problem was the citizens. They were already exhausted from just running on the shaking bridge.

And then, Se-un, who had been preheating by rotating the circle in advance, manifested a new magic.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[Moonlight]

– A protective magic from the Blue Tower’s ice magic that shines a chilling moonlight on enemies approaching the caster and freezes them.

A small full moon appeared above Se-un’s palm.

It soon floated above Se-un’s head and instantly lowered the surrounding temperature, which had been heated up by running non-stop.

Then, it shone blue moonlight with its eyes towards the violently approaching tsunami.

Crack!

The tsunami froze as it stood up in a curved shape.

Originally, the sea has a lower freezing point than ordinary water due to its salt content, and in the case of a tsunami, it is not easy to freeze due to its high fluidity.

The fact that it froze such a tsunami proved that Moonlight’s coldness was incredibly strong.

“As expected, you’re the best, *hyung-nim* [term of respect for an older brother or male friend]!”

“Park Jung-pil, don’t run alone and take that kid over there and run!”

“Ehh? I’m so tired I’m going to die…….”

“Should I personally push you off the bridge?”

“Not one, but two! I’ll run with two! Haha!”

“Keep your word.”

“Ah, no, that’s…….”

Moonlight.

The reason Se-un chose this magic out of many ice magics was because of Moonlight’s unique autonomous defense function.

Usually, ice magics freeze the surroundings for a moment and then end, while Moonlight continuously performs its function above the caster’s head.

Thanks to that.
