Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 214

Clang-

‘Harder than I thought.’

I didn’t realize it when I collided head-on with the meteorite during the 30th floor trial because the situation was too urgent, but the meteorite was hard to cut even with Durendal [a legendary sword], nicknamed ‘the sword that splits rocks,’ in one strike.

Only after using internal energy to wield the sword could I split it into a suitable size.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ contemplates how to use the meteorite, recalling the ‘future’ it heard from you.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ demands that you offer it a portion of the meteorite as well.

Se-un nodded at Mammon’s request. Usually, he would demand a reasonable price for it, but this time was different.

He had to research the meteorite anyway, and Mammon willingly offered to research it first, so it was a welcome thing.

Just as he was about to offer the piece he had cut off.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ has been offered the ‘meteorite’.

“No, not that.”

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ turns its back, telling you not to talk for a while as it will immediately begin research as well.

The reason Se-un was embarrassed was simple.

The meteorite Mammon took was not the one Se-un had cut off and was holding, but the main body left behind.

He ended up losing most of the meteorite.

“Haa…….”

His head throbbed a little, but there was no particular problem.

Even the cut-off piece was enough to make a sealing tool, and transporting that large fragment would not have been easy.

If he thought about it positively, it was a reduction in luggage.

Fortunately, perhaps because he had a conscience, an item fell onto Se-un’s hand.

A chisel and a hammer.

Tools mainly used for carving when doing stonework, they were the most necessary items for Se-un, who was trying to work the meteorite.

– The Vault of Greed(眞) has been opened.

[Pygmalion’s Chisel and Hammer]

– Tools that Pygmalion [a figure from Greek mythology who carved a statue of his ideal woman], who felt disillusioned with real women, used to carve his ideal type himself.

Pygmalion’s Chisel and Hammer.

The description ends with carving, but in reality, it is said that he later awakened the statue into a human with the power of a goddess.

After that, he married the statue and even had children.

As tools used by humans to create humans, they were stonework tools with mythical power.

The reason he knew so well was that these tools were what Se-un had planned to use to work the meteorite.

Of course, Se-un’s Authority of Greed could not bring the entity itself, so he was wondering what medium to use.

In that situation, Mammon directly took out the tools, so there was no reason to refuse.

‘Then, shall we begin?’

There was no need to put a blueprint in his head with the Authority of Greed. Se-un was an adventurer before his regression.

In the Tower, an adventurer was not simply a job of moving around.

To put it badly, a jack-of-all-trades; to put it nicely, an all-rounder.

Of course, Se-un, who had survived until the Tower’s destruction, belonged to the latter.

Butchering, mining, trading, and even the stonework he was about to do. He had not reached the level of an expert in one field, but he had acquired skills close to an expert in every field.

Frankly speaking, he was more confident in this than in combat.

‘I’ve already thought about the basic design.’

Clang!

He placed the chisel diagonally on the meteorite and struck it with the hammer.

A swing without hesitation.

With that one swing, the meteorite, which was hard to cut even with Durendal, split cleanly.

Indeed, ‘Pygmalion’s Chisel and Hammer’ contained mythical power.

Even though it was a replica, Mammon’s Authority was drawing out power close to 100% of the real thing.

Clang!

‘Give up on the hollow parts and gather the faces.’

What he was trying to make now was an Outer’s sealing tool.

If there was a hole in the sealing tool, it would be meaningless.

He meticulously grasped the structure of the meteorite and swung the hammer, selecting only the most suitable parts.

Clang!

‘Create grooves to connect the faces.’

If there was even a small gap, the Outer might leak out.

He only had a chisel and a hammer in his hand, but he carved the meteorite so precisely and delicately that there was no gap between the faces.

As he concentrated on the long-awaited work, his mental strength was consumed faster than when he was fighting.

Sweat beaded on his forehead and gathered on his eyelids.

He didn’t even wipe away the sweat because he didn’t want to stop concentrating on the hand holding the chisel and hammer, when.

” 힘내세요! ” [Cheer up!]

Seo-ah Yoo came over and wiped away the sweat for him.

Thanks to that, Se-un was able to concentrate all his mind on the work.

Clang, clang, clang!

The monotonous hammering was repeated.

The meteorite, which had been rough on the outside and full of irregular holes, was refined and began to form a clean cube.

– The constellation, ‘The Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ receives a call from the Demon God, stops to investigate the meteorite, and admires your hammering.

– The constellation, ‘The Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ reveals interest, saying that you seem to be beyond his contractor in terms of stonework.

– The constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ shouts the soldier’s name.

– The constellation, ‘The Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ hurriedly rushes away, leaving behind regret.

The long-awaited final work.

Only making the lid and stopper for the sealing tool remained.

Unlike other parts, this part had to be openable and closable, so it was more difficult to make than other parts.

If he focused on opening it, there might be a gap, and if he focused on closing it, there might be a defect.

‘Since the tools are what they are, make it as angular as possible.’

He could make it round if he took the time, but he didn’t have enough time or mental strength to pay attention to the design right now.

He created a hexagonal lid, thinking about the locking device in case the Outer struggled inside.

After finishing the work, his concentration was released, and he put down the tools with trembling hands.

He carefully placed the lid over the hole in the sealing tool, and the lid fit perfectly into the hole as if it had always been there.

– You have created the first item using a ‘meteorite’ in the Tower.

– You have achieved an amazing feat.

– You have acquired 10,000,000 points as a reward.

“You worked hard! To make something like this in just ten minutes!”

“It’s not to this extent, but I used to do similar work often before my regression.”

“Really? I thought Se-un was definitely a swordsman… no, a magic swordsman.”

Se-un smiled lightly at Yoo Seo-ah’s words.

A magic swordsman.

He wished he was, but Se-un before his regression had no talent for swords or magic, and he didn’t even receive proper attention from the constellations.

Just effort.

As much as he lacked talent compared to others, he gritted his teeth, chose a more difficult path, and invested more time than others.

He found various hidden pieces with the only hope, the Guidebook of the Journey, and became stronger little by little, very slowly.

Thanks to that, he was able to survive until the last moment.

Thanks to the fact that he never gave up even when a shocking existence called Outer appeared, after always experiencing numerous difficulties.

“And it’s not over yet.”

“Yes? You made it so well?”

“You can’t tell just by looking at it.”

[??]

Classification: ??

Grade: ??

Description: A box made of a meteorite with unknown power.

Ability: ??

Except for a brief description, even the basic name or grade did not come to mind, but this meant that the system recognized its value.

However, since the description was not detailed, it was necessary to verify its abilities.

Se-un reopened the lid of the sealing tool and scooped up seawater.

Fortunately, it didn’t leak right away.

The problem was next.

With the lid closed, he manifested magic inside.

– According to the mysteries of the Blue Tower, the stability of ‘Aqua Pillar’ is strengthened.

Originally, it was difficult to manifest magic inside a sealed space, but it was possible because he had injected mana into the seawater he had put in before closing the lid.

Invisible, a pillar of water formed inside the sealing tool and pushed against the lid.

Drdddd-

The sealing tool vibrated on the ice.

It roared as if it would burst at any moment, but the sealing tool never opened.

No matter how much mana Se-un poured in, only the vibration grew as if something was blocked.

Se-un smiled with satisfaction and opened the lid.

Kwaaaaa-!!

The magic power suppressed inside the sealing tool turned into water pressure and burst out like an explosion.

An unbelievable amount of seawater gushed out considering the size of the box.

The seawater that soared high into the sky became a shower and poured down on his head.

His body, which he had barely dried, was soaked again, but Se-un opened his mouth with a satisfied face.

“Then, shall we go capture a sample?”

* * *

Finding Outers was not as easy as he thought.

The first Outer he met was not found intentionally, but by luck.

Finding traces of Outers in this vast sea was that difficult.

‘Well, the range is too wide.’

Searching the entire sea alone was too inefficient.

So Se-un changed his plan and headed straight for the continent, putting the sea search behind him.

He thought that it would be easier to find traces of meteorites on the continent, where the land was clearly visible, than in the sea, and it would be easier to find Outers.

“It feels like we’ve been running for ten minutes already? Your skills have improved a lot.”

“It’s all thanks to Se-un for teaching me well! I feel lighter because I’m getting used to using internal energy.”

While Se-un was running, creating ice using ‘Ice Bridge’, Yoo Seo-ah was running on the surface of the water next to him.

It was an act of charity, saying it was for improving her skills, even though he didn’t ask her to.

Knowing that they were going to face Outers, she looked quite plausible, training only in internal energy operation without overdoing it.

‘Her growth rate seems much faster than before my regression.’

Of course, the only image Se-un had of Yoo Seo-ah was during the tutorial.

She spent a long time at the first shelter, and Se-un’s speed of clearing the trials was not very fast.

Even considering that, Yoo Seo-ah’s growth rate was fast.

Even though she became an Apostle of Baal, this was clearly her talent.

Of course, in terms of growth rate, others were comparable to her.

Kang Han-cheol, Baek Hyeon… even Park Jeong-pil.

Everyone was far beyond the mold of ordinary players.

They haven’t had much chance to fight against players of the same level yet, so they may not realize how good they are.

‘I can see it slowly.’

The appearance of the approaching continent was clearly different from what he had seen in the trials.

In general, the ground was largely collapsed, and the land was unevenly sunken or protruding in places.

A tree that had taken root deep in the ground and barely avoided falling underground was standing crookedly.

Everything was a mess, but it didn’t seem like the ecosystem was completely destroyed.

Certainly, this world did not end. Thanks to Se-un destroying the meteorite.

As the ice path ended and he took his first step on the ground.

“Yoo Seo-ah, prepare for battle.”

“Yes!”

“Krrr-”

A group of monsters appeared as if to greet them.

No, things that can no longer be called monsters.

Their eyes were bloodshot and red, and black liquid was dripping from their mouths. They were beings that had been consumed by the Outer.

He was glad he put off the sea and came here first.

Since they came out to greet him like this without having to bother searching, he was going to make them the glorious ‘first sample’.
