Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 237

241

Even after capturing a few zombies that tried to climb the cliff, the cheers of the royal army reached their peak.

Honestly, the zombies’ combat power was so poor that I was more concerned about not stepping on the dwarves than hunting the zombies.

“Ehehehe, that’s right! We are heroes! Brother, this place seems as good as a shelter, don’t you think?”

“It feels like we’ve really become heroes…”

Seun quietly silenced Park Jung-pil, then diverted the royal army’s attention to Yoo Seo-ah and headed to the edge of the cliff.

Sure enough, a few zombies that had climbed up right below met Seun’s eyes.

– The power of ‘Flash Flood’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Black Tower.

– The range of ‘Flash Flood’ is expanded according to the mysteries of the Red Tower.

Kwarara!

“Kuaaa-”

The fierce torrent of the flood, bursting from the edge of the cliff, swept down, engulfing the zombies.

From the dwarves’ perspective, they were just giants, but for Seun, including the Diablo Guild, they were just ordinary zombies that could be dealt with even in the tutorial.

The guys were swept away by the flood and swallowed into the clouds.

“Oh! To sweep away those monsters in an instant! Indeed, it’s just as the prophecy foretold!”

“What did the prophecy say?”

“…Haha, actually, the prophecy didn’t have any details. Only that saviors would appear.”

A prophecy.

For a moment, the prophecies of the ancients he had experienced in the fourth shelter came to mind, but he soon shook his head.

The prophecy mentioned in this trial felt quite different from that of the fourth shelter. To put it simply, it felt like a setting promised by the system.

‘I still can’t see well.’

The zombies that were visible above the clouds were all swept away by the flood, but the revealed field seemed to end here, with thick clouds filling the area, obscuring the view below.

However, Seun was not one to give up here.

– The power of ‘Gust of Wind’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Black Tower.

Whoooo-

A small whirlwind formed in Seun’s grasp.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the whirlwind gently descended, growing in size as it consumed Seun’s mana.

What started as the size of a palm grew to the size of a person, and what was the size of a person grew to the size of a house.

The whirlwind, gradually increasing in size, soon became a ferocious vortex.

Whirr, whirr, whirr-!

Sucking in the clouds below and pushing them outwards.

The cloud layer was quite thick, and even after sweeping away a considerable amount of clouds, the bottom was still not visible, but he didn’t worry and poured in more mana.

After all, if the level of the monsters was this low, he would have been fine even without mana.

“Oh, he’s creating a typhoon!”

“Such power to cause natural disasters! Indeed, the messenger of God… !”

It was natural for the dwarves to misunderstand.

Even to ordinary people, that giant whirlwind was surprisingly large, but to the dwarves, it would seem like nothing less than a typhoon.

How much did the whirlwind accomplish?

The clouds cleared, and new clouds filled the space, maintaining a tense atmosphere.

“Kuaaaaa-”

“Kueeeeooo-”

Finally, the whirlwind broke through the clouds, revealing what was below.

“What is that…”

Seun’s expression furrowed.

A swarm of zombies filling the cliff with a blue hue.

He had expected zombies to be climbing up, but the number far exceeded his expectations. There were so many that the cliff’s unique gray color was almost invisible, obscured by the zombies.

Could the dwarves really stop that many zombies?

No, it’s impossible. No matter how weak the zombies are, that’s at the dwarf level… no, with that number, even players would have difficulty stopping them.

Besides…

“Ghouls, banshees, gasts [undead creatures that paralyze with their stench], and even meat golems.”

Only ordinary zombies were visible at the top, but the situation below was serious.

Enhancing his vision, he saw numerous higher-level undead, more powerful than zombies.

They were wriggling their arms at an extremely slow pace, climbing the cliff, but even though their speed was slow, they never tired.

At this rate, they would surely reach the top of the cliff within three days.

‘Before the regression, I cleared the trial in less than two days.’

It was natural that Seun didn’t know their identities.

The moment he recognized the severity of the situation, a system message appeared in front of him, announcing a quest.

– Hidden Quest, ‘The Approaching Doom of the Dwarf Kingdom’ has been discovered.

– Do you want to accept?

– Accepting the quest will accelerate the enemy’s invasion speed.

“Brother, what popped up?”

“It seems like we won’t be able to quietly pass this trial after all.”

“Isn’t this more fun?”

“Well, I’ve been itching for some action.”

The 34th floor’s trial, which he thought would just involve ignoring the dwarves and quietly reaching the castle walls.

He discovered a new hidden quest within it.

The reason Seun hadn’t discovered this before the regression was simple.

Even with a guide for the journey, the probability of being affiliated with a guild at the 34th floor’s level, and that guild having the characteristics of a ‘savior,’ was extremely low.

Even if he had discovered it, he certainly wouldn’t have been able to conquer it.

“Messengers of God! Please save us!”

“Understood.”

“Are you, are you serious? Thank you! Thank you so much!”

– Hidden Quest, ‘The Approaching Doom of the Dwarf Kingdom’ has been accepted.

– From now on, the enemy’s invasion speed will be accelerated.

– Defeat all enemies attacking the Dwarf Kingdom.

It wasn’t just simple chivalry.

In addition to the contribution points reward, although not mentioned in the quest, he felt like he could extort rewards from the Dwarf Kingdom under the guise of being a savior.

Besides…

‘It’s an opportunity to grow the guild.’

When solving such large-scale quests as a guild, the quest is recognized as a guild achievement, adding points to its growth.

He had found an opportunity for growth that was hard to even grasp except in the higher-level shelters, on the mere 34th floor.

He couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Ah, before that.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is getting impatient, watching the fermenting foods falling below the cliff.

He had to fill Beelzebub’s stomach, who was already complaining about hunger, after how long had it been since he last ate.

* * *

Under Seun’s direction, the Diablo Guild spread out along the cliffs of the Dwarf Kingdom.

The cliffs where the zombies were attacking were on the east and west sides.

Zombies were coming up from all places except the south, which was the starting point of the trial, and the north, where the castle walls, the destination, were located.

“Kuaaa-”

The ‘acceleration of invasion speed’ that the system mentioned was faster than expected.

The zombies, which had been crawling up at a rate of about one every five minutes, were now coming up one per minute, and as time passed, they appeared one after another, regardless of the time.

The zombie horde, appearing one after another, showed hostility as soon as they came up, revealing their torn fingernails from climbing the cliff.

However.

– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Advance’.

The Diablo Guild was already waiting in that spot.

A zombie whose head exploded with a single punch. Kang Han-cheol then punched down towards the cliff.

It was a punch towards the empty air, not the ground, but the punch caused a huge impact as if it had hit a solid wall.

Kwaaaang!

A fierce shockwave swept away the zombies climbing the cliff.

Certainly, the power of ‘Wave’, obtained from the hidden piece on the 33rd floor, suited Kang Han-cheol’s strength very well.

“I can cover this line entirely. Everyone, please take care of the right side. Manticore?”

“Kuaaaang!”

Baekhyun’s manticore roared, and the zombies reaching out to climb the cliff froze for a moment.

However, this was just a signal. As soon as Baekhyun’s undead, lined up on the cliff, recognized the roar, they poured attacks down.

Baekhyun’s undead had been modified for efficient movement and were imbued with the power of Gamigin [a Great President of Hell].

Naturally, even if they were the same undead, ordinary zombies couldn’t possibly stand up to them.

“Wow, this is really useful?”

As Park Jung-pil fired his crossbow, a rope followed the bolt.

The zombie hit by the bolt staggered, and the zombies around it were caught in the rope and fell off the cliff.

“Kuaaaa-”

“Kueeeeooo-”

The unpleasant voices of zombies were heard from all directions.

The expression ‘human wave tactics’ was a perfect fit.

The Diablo Guild, which had initially dealt with them leisurely, gradually became busier.

Not only had the speed at which the zombies were coming up increased, but also unique individuals such as ghouls and skeleton knights, not ordinary zombies, began to appear in between.

“Hoo, it’s over!”

“They can’t come up now, right?”

“Of course, they can’t! Even Blood Wolf wouldn’t have thought of this, right?”

While everyone was focused on the battle, the twin sisters completely transformed one side of the cliff into a different structure.

It was a structure made using the non-melting ice, permafrost, obtained from the Frost Fortress, with a smooth surface and curved shape.

The undead that reached there…

“K, kueeeeooo?”

Unlike on the cliff, there was nothing to grab onto, so they fell pathetically.

Because it was curved outwards, it was impossible to climb over each other, and even if they rubbed against it, it was only slippery, and the ice didn’t melt.

Instead, the path was blocked, and more undead came up elsewhere, but it was much easier to deal with them.

If the twin sisters’ structure was installed on the entire cliff, it seemed like the undead’s invasion could be completely stopped.

Meanwhile…

“Kuaaaaaaaack-!!”

Formidable enemies began to appear in earnest.

Meat golems made by gathering and clumping together dozens of zombies, or higher-level zombies the size of 4m, gasts, etc.

The guys who looked like boss monsters at a glance let out ferocious screams.

– Player Yoo Seo-ah uses ‘Tarantula’s Fourth Leg’.

Seogeogeogeok!

“I’ll take care of this! Everyone, prevent the zombies from breaking through the encirclement! We have to protect the dwarves!”

“I’ll take down the big ones.”

Yoo Seo-ah’s twin swords swept the battlefield, and Kang Han-cheol’s fist shook the earth.

The Diablo Guild did their best to stop the undead’s invasion.

The dwarves didn’t even dare to intervene, trembling in fear from afar or cheering for the Diablo Guild.

“Ugh! Brother, where did you go?”

But why was that? Now that the hidden quest was heading towards its end with the appearance of the boss monsters, Seun was nowhere to be seen.

However, one of them.

Yoo Seo-ah, who had been told in advance by Seun, completely dismantled the meat golem’s joints, crushed the core head, and looked down the cliff behind.

Below the faintly cleared clouds. The bottom of that void, so high that it was blurry and barely visible.

Flap!

Seun was spreading Icarus’s wings, holding Achilles’s spear, Aphelion, which shone sharply.
