Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 205

209

Even though the trial was over, the citizens didn’t disappear. Instead, as if to explain the situation to the players, they anxiously shared hopeful stories they knew.

That meant one thing.

They would also be participating in the next trial.

“Hyung-nim [term of respect used by younger men to address older men in Korean], don’t you feel sorry for those people? Since it’s just a trial anyway, there shouldn’t be any humans or anything.”

Park Jung-pil approached and spoke, but Se-un shook his head.

He himself had thought that way before his regression, but now he thought differently.

Having gone through the trials so far, Se-un saw these trials as reflections of someone’s experiences, past events, or something similar. In any case, he believed they were trials that reflected real events.

And above all.

‘There’s no way there wouldn’t be.’

Se-un knew what would happen next and the direction the trials would take.

However, since Yoo Seo-ah was the only one who knew about the regression, he couldn’t explain the reason in detail here.

Of course, even if that weren’t the case, he had no intention of kindly explaining it to them.

“By the way, it’s hard to rest with those people around, since we have to be aware of them. Hyung-nim, the trial is over anyway, should we split up soon?”

“Split up? What are you talking about?”

“We’re not going to see each other again anyway, are we? Let’s just go into that castle and rest for a while before the next trial comes…….”

Park Jung-pil was spouting nonsense next to him, but there was one thing he agreed with.

The idea of going into the castle.

He gave Yoo Seo-ah a look, and she understood perfectly without him having to say anything, nodding and leading the people.

“Everyone, let’s take refuge in that castle for now! We don’t know what might happen!”

“Oh, thank you so much for everything…….”

“Mommy, I’m hungry.”

“It’s okay, baby. There will be something to eat there.”

At Yoo Seo-ah’s command, people immediately nodded. It was thanks to the charisma she had built up while leading the Diablo Clan.

Besides, they had all seen her power with their own eyes as they crossed the bridge, so there was no reason not to listen to her.

As they were all moving towards the highest castle in the center, an anomaly occurred in the sky.

Rumble-

“Mommy, the sky is strange.”

“Oh, why even here!”

“They said the final castle was safe! But why is disaster coming even here!”

“L, let’s hurry and escape into the castle!”

“Hurry!”

Just a moment ago, the weather was peaceful with not a single cloud in the sky. But that sky was instantly filled with black storm clouds.

The unique dazzling sunlight of the sea was blocked, and the surroundings darkened as if it were dusk.

Swish-!

“No, how can you even see a downpour coming like that?”

“Hyung-nim! Let’s hurry and take refuge in the castle! That’s a typhoon [tropical cyclone]!”

“No.”

“Pardon?”

Se-un shook his head.

If it were just a typhoon coming, Se-un would have taken refuge in the castle as well, but that wasn’t just a simple typhoon.

The ‘disaster’ the citizens spoke of.

It was a combination of a powerful downpour and a typhoon.

“Kieeeeek!”

– Welcome to the 29th floor trial.

– Theme: The Final Storm

– Having arrived at the final castle, you face the disaster that has come to the end of this world.

– Protect the castle from the disaster.

– The trial will be considered a failure the moment the citizens are annihilated.

The 29th trial started right away without a proper rest for everyone who was exhausted.

The Diablo Clan had to get up from their seats before they could even cool off their sweat.

* * *

Most of the monsters were flying types.

Powerful enough to swing around normally even in the storm.

There were gargoyles with skin like stone statues, as well as birds of prey with wingspans of at least 5m, and unidentified monsters floating around like balloons.

It would have been fortunate if it ended here, but.

“Hyung-nim, more are crawling up from the bridge!”

“I know.”

Monsters were crawling up from the now completely collapsed bridge.

They were aquatic monsters, but unlike the ones they had faced on the bridge, they were amphibious monsters capable of operating on land as well.

Usually, such monsters would lose their strength the moment they came ashore, but the conditions were different now than before.

Swish-

The storm clouds that had reached overhead were pouring rain.

In this kind of downpour, even aquatic monsters could exert their power close to that of being in the water.

On the other hand, the players’ condition would deteriorate in these harsh conditions.

It was truly the worst condition.

Se-un usually left all the command to Yoo Seo-ah, but this time he raised his voice directly.

“Everyone, form a formation around the castle! Melee types, keep your distance around the castle gate and defend the walls, and the rest, provide cover from the upper floors such as the castle’s terrace!”

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

“Got it!”

“And Han A-reum, Han Da-un!”

“Yes, Oppa [term of respect used by younger women to address older men in Korean]!”

“Yeees~”

The twin sisters approached as if they had been waiting.

The most important thing in this battle was to protect the citizens.

To do that, the key was to prevent the castle from being breached, and the twin sisters’ abilities were the most important here.

“Even if it’s a terrace, there aren’t many of them. A-reum, you set up ladders, temporary platforms, and walls where we can fight safely.”

“Roger!”

“Da-un, can you set up defensive weapons in appropriate locations? Prioritize safety as much as possible, and make sure the citizens can use them too.”

“Roger!”

“Once this is over, both of you stay out of the attack and focus on repairing the castle. The castle must never be breached.”

“That’s our specialty! Right?”

“Of course!”

– The constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ suggests turning the walls into thorn walls at this opportunity.

– The constellation, ‘Giant Bird,’ whispers to the contractor that he has come up with a good way to stop the gnats.

Even if other players had excellent construction skills, it would have been difficult to do proper construction in a situation like now, when they were facing an immediate battle.

But those two were different.

The two, who had contracted with the 38th-ranked demon king Halphas and the 39th-ranked demon king Malphas, were able to use their powers to bring out pre-prepared structures.

As Se-un had expected, the castle quickly began to be remodeled for battle.

“Yoo Seo-ah! I’ll take care of the bottom, so you command the people from above. And protect the non-combat personnel!”

“Okay!”

Yoo Seo-ah, who jumped more than 5m at once, climbed onto a bird of prey flying at low altitude.

Before the monster could resist, she plunged her twin swords into its back and used her potential, Domination.

She flew around the castle as if the sword stuck in its back was a handle, combining command and protection.

– Tarantula’s spider web covers the battlefield.

– The combat power of allies increases, and the movement speed of enemies decreases.

Her power as Tarantula’s apostle had become even stronger than before.

A red aura swirled around the Diablo Clan’s grasp, and the flying monsters that were quickly flying up slowed down as if they had spider webs on their bodies.

“Yeon-ju!”

Diriring-

– The constellation, ‘Singing Unicorn,’ is excited about the long-awaited war and spreads the melody of chaos.

A strange performance spread across the battlefield.

The chaotic cry played on the ‘fairy-like instrument’ that Se-un had obtained from Pan confused the monsters’ minds.

The weak monsters lost their sense of balance and collapsed on the spot, and the effect was especially pronounced on the flying monsters.

Because they would crash to the ground with just a slight disturbance in their flapping.

At that moment, the Diablo Clan’s full-scale attack began.

“Attack!”

Kwaaaang!

The attack of the melee players led by Kang Han-cheol.

The flying monsters that had crashed to the ground due to the confusion had their necks cut off without even putting up a proper resistance.

Only the ones that crawled up from the sea were barely able to stand up against the Diablo Clan.

– ‘Grad Empire Archery’ is enhanced through internal energy.

If Se-un’s strongest weapon was to be named, it would naturally be ‘The Rock-Splitting Sword, Durandal’.

But.

‘This would be better for now.’

Instead, Se-un took out the Undying Bow.

As in the previous trial, the enemies he was seeing now were not that strong individually.

Besides, there were even flying monsters that were difficult to deal with using a sword, so a bow was much more effective than a sword or spear.

Pyoong-

Pupububuk!

He shoots three arrows at once.

Yet, the arrows all find their enemies and accurately pierce their vitals.

The ‘Grad Empire Archery’ used by Se-un had already far surpassed its original level. To the point where there would be no further development if he only used this.

Therefore, Se-un opened the Greed’s Authority and took out a treasure he had thought of in advance.

– Greed’s Treasure Vault has been opened.

[Subduing Demon Archery (伏魔弓術)]

– A demon-subduing archery that the third child of the Common Faction, who was born with divine powers, learned as he realized his destiny, left the orthodox sect, and took up the bow to hunt demons.

Subduing Demon Archery.

As befits its characteristic of being a demon-subduing archery, it inflicts greater damage on demons than on humans.

It might seem that the target is limited if it is called a demon, but it is not.

The demons that Subduing Demon Archery judges are beings like the monsters that exist before Se-un’s eyes now.

It meant that it was the most appropriate martial art to defeat monsters.

– The first form of Subduing Demon Archery, Magic Piercing Arrow (魔貫矢), is enhanced through internal energy.

The first arrow using Subduing Demon Archery flew.

An aura reminiscent of incense smoke swirled and spread around the arrowhead.

Puk!

The arrow pierced the monster’s chest.

However, this appearance was completely different from a normal arrow.

The arrow pierced through the monster’s chest as if piercing a ghost, creating a hole and moving forward.

The arrow did not lose any speed and continued to pierce the enemy behind it.

Pupububuk!

“Kyaak!”

A single arrow shot lightly pierced as many as six monsters.

The monsters that had their vitals pierced, as well as the monsters that had their bodies pierced instead of their vitals, all screamed like demons and fell.

The monsters looked at Se-un at that bizarre sight, but Se-un had four arrows in his hand.

– The second form of Subduing Demon Archery, Magic Guiding Arrow (魔導矢), is enhanced through internal energy.

Piiiiing-

Originally, a bow is a weapon made to shoot one arrow.

Even shooting three arrows at once like before was a technique close to divine, but four arrows at once!

To others, it was an attack that seemed like blind arrows shot without thinking because there were so many enemies.

However, the second form of Subduing Demon Archery was not like that.

The direction or technique of shooting did not matter. It just found and followed the demon the moment it was shot.

The four arrows twisted strangely and pierced the monsters that existed in a line that could never have been hit.

Naturally, this arrow also passed through several monsters at once, not just one monster.

“Kieeeeek!”

“Kyaak, Kyaaak!”
