Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 243

“Are you feeling shaken or uncomfortable?”

“Ah, well. I’m fine.”

“Your reaction isn’t great! Lower your center of gravity and move carefully!”

“I should have carried you myself!”

“Kuh! I’ll try harder!”

“No……”

They’re all huge, but their personalities are so timid. Even a slight reaction from Se-un sends them into a frenzy.

‘Well, thanks to them, I can comfortably replenish my mana on the way.’

Se-un’s lukewarm reaction was simply because he felt awkward receiving such extravagant treatment from giants.

The ride was surprisingly comfortable because the giants were careful not to shake him. Thanks to that, he could focus and recover mana while sitting on top of them.

His inner energy was already almost full.

‘I should try to combine my martial arts when I get back to the residence.’

Zaha Sword Art, Bukhae Sword Art, or even the high-level transcendent martial art, the Explosive Demonic Palm Strike, which he still couldn’t use on his own.

The power of these transcendent martial arts is definitely strong, but they are also difficult to use and consume a lot of energy.

However, combined martial arts, created by merging the mysteries of several martial arts, are a bit different. They are more powerful than basic martial arts, but the difficulty and consumption of inner energy are not that great.

For Se-un, who has reached the level between intermediate and advanced masters at 6 gi gap [a measure of internal energy cultivation], it is truly the perfect skill.

‘Well, the problem is whether I can do it as I please.’

The lightness skill he created this time by combining three footwork techniques, Butterfly Gliding.

It was closer to a coincidence created by enlightenment, a state of ecstasy, and the urgency of actual combat, rather than something Se-un intended.

Of course, he got a sense of it since he had done it once.

Even so, he couldn’t be sure if it would work on other martial arts as he pleased.

So, as soon as he enters the residence, he plans to try combining various martial arts.

“I see it over there!”

“Don’t open your mouth, just be careful how you move! You’re shaking!”

“Hmph!”

“No, this much is fine.”

“No! We’re not fine! This is all we can do for you……”

The giants felt sorry, but Se-un didn’t really care. The fact that they were so considerate was enough to fill the sacred mark with divinity.

Increased Hidden Piece contribution points and stats through the Cyclops. On top of that, the acquisition of divinity and new myths…….

The harvest from this floor was more tremendous than he had imagined.

When you think about it, it was all thanks to these giants, so he had no intention of trying to squeeze anything more out of them.

In fact, the truth is that there was nothing to squeeze out.

“Gi, giants are coming again! Prepare to attack!”

“Damn it, I thought the trial was over when they suddenly stopped!”

“We have to wait for Se-un! Everyone, hold on somehow…… Huh?”

The Diablo Guild members were already positioned right in front of the destination. They must have been waiting for Se-un to finish the trial together.

Actually, there was no need to do that.

It’s a little admirable.

They prepared for battle as dozens of giants approached, but starting with Yoo Seo-ah, people noticed the giants’ change.

They regained their reason and were standing properly, and Se-un was being treated like a VIP on top of them.

“That, on top of the giant…….”

“Clan, no, Guild Master?”

“Hyung-niiiiiim!”

The trial on the 35th floor ended more grandly than expected.

* * *

– You have successfully completed the trial of the 35th floor, ‘Giant Country.’

– Calculating contribution points…….

– Hidden quest ‘An Unmanageable Giant Threat’ completed.

…….

– Total accumulated contribution points: 400,000 points

– Congratulations! You have passed the trial on the 35th floor with the 1st rank.

– Acquired 100,000 points as a reward.

As expected, this trial was also ranked 1st.

It was largely thanks to defeating the Cyclops, who could be said to be the main subject of the trial.

Perhaps because of the name of salvation, he acquired an astonishingly large number of contribution points, just like in the Lilliput Country.

‘At this rate, I can spend contribution points without worrying too much.’

Se-un briefly thought about that, but soon shook his head.

No matter how many contribution points he has right now, it is only based on his individual standards.

In the Tower, there were those who collected contribution points to obtain special qualifications or items.

By receiving tributes in the name of guilds or extorting them from other players…… They possess an amount of contribution points that one player can never have.

To surpass those people, it was necessary to accumulate as many contribution points as possible.

If he needed more contribution points…….

‘I just need to defeat those guys.’

He just needs to ‘extort’ them in their own way.

After all, he clearly remembered the faces of those who unfairly extorted contribution points.

The reason was, of course, because Se-un was also one of the victims.

“What’s the next trial?”

“Isn’t it a flying island? Gulliver’s Travels is largely divided into four parts, so I think we can guess up to the 37th floor.”

“No, let’s go back to the residence first.”

“Yes? But, the theme…….”

– Would you like to enter the Diablo Guild’s residence?

“……Huh?”

The theme is over.

In other words, the trials from the 34th to 37th floors are not like the Gulliver’s Travels that people are expecting.

‘It’s easy to misunderstand, but the Tower is not created based on Earth.’

Especially since Earth has many Constellations appearing, its importance is high, but the Tower is connected to various dimensions.

Even if the trials are similar to those on Earth, they are not exactly the same.

If the trials were all related to things that could be found on Earth, it would be the same as giving benefits to players from Earth.

‘And the next theme is the real one.’

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Surrounding Envy,’ nods its head.

Soon, he will reach the 40th floor, ‘Sea of Radiance.’ No, to be precise, to the place that ‘was’ the ‘Sea of Radiance.’

When he arrives there, he will finally have to keep the promise he made with Leviathan in the tutorial.

It will be a difficult task, but if he succeeds, he will be able to strengthen the Authority of Jealousy.

“Well, are you a little tired?”

“We’ve only done two trials, but were they too intense…….”

“It’s already decided, what are you all worrying about! Let’s go wash up quickly!”

Since one theme is maintained from the 36th floor, it is connected all the way to the 40th floor without entering or exiting the residence.

So, if possible, they were planning to take a proper rest this time and enter the next floor.

* * *

After entering the residence and taking a short break, the first thing Se-un did was teach Yoo Seo-ah Butterfly Gliding.

Since it combined three existing footwork techniques, Butterfly Gliding was surprisingly efficient.

If Yoo Seo-ah learns it, her combat power will definitely increase by one level.

However.

“……How do you do it?”

“I can’t explain enlightenment. I’ll show you, so learn it on your own.”

“Even so, this is…….”

Yoo Seo-ah couldn’t keep up with Se-un’s legs.

She had been able to copy everything so well just by watching him from the side, but this time it seemed difficult.

Se-un also couldn’t easily explain the footwork created through enlightenment. Originally, enlightenment was not something that could be explained or put into words.

“I can’t allocate time forever, so watch and learn on your own.”

“……Yes.”

“Kang Han-cheol?”

“I’ve been waiting.”

In fact, Se-un didn’t have a talent for teaching anything.

The reason why people like Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol have been able to benefit from Se-un so far was because they had talent in those fields.

So, Se-un quickly gave up on teaching Yoo Seo-ah Butterfly Gliding.

Thinking that actual combat is the best way to teach something.

He just hoped that she would learn on her own by using Butterfly Gliding in a match against Kang Han-cheol.

Clang!

Se-un’s sword and Kang Han-cheol’s fist collided.

A collision between a sword and a fist.

Of course, it would be normal for the fist to be cut off, but Kang Han-cheol’s fist had a transparent gauntlet made of ice.

Its strength was so strong that it could withstand Durandal’s strike.

“Not bad?”

“You’re not using magic yet.”

“That’s when your skills improve a little more.”

“……I’ll reveal my bottom soon enough [show my true strength].”

Shockwaves spread around as the sword and fist collided.

Even so, Yoo Seo-ah was so focused on Butterfly Gliding that she couldn’t even close her eyes and was concentrating on the battle.

Kang Han-cheol was working hard to beat Se-un, but Se-un’s mind was full of other thoughts.

‘The realm of combined martial arts. First of all…… I need to try various things.’

– Through inner energy, the first stance of the Taegeuk Eighteen Swords, Mountain Strike, is enhanced.

The power of a mountain was imbued in Se-un’s sword.

The moment Kang Han-cheol lowered his center of gravity to prepare for the strong force, Se-un’s movements changed drastically.

Clearly, the upper body posture was the Mountain Strike stance he usually used, but the lower body was in the shape of a sharp wolf.

– Through inner energy, the second stance of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Fang, is enhanced.

“……What?”

Durandal, which was aiming for Kang Han-cheol’s lower body, was deflected by Kang Han-cheol’s fist pressing down from above.

Kang Han-cheol seemed flustered by the new type of attack.

A surprise lower body attack with the power of a mountain.

It was definitely an excellent technique, but Se-un was not satisfied.

‘This only degrades the power of both martial arts.’

If an outsider saw it, they would say it was already a success, but the reality was different.

The attack just now did not properly utilize the power of Mountain Strike or the agility of Blood Wolf Fang.

The fact that Kang Han-cheol immediately reacted and slammed Durandal down was proof of that, even though it was a surprise attack.

‘It’s not just about using two martial arts at the same time, but about completely harmonizing their mysteries.’

He recalls the mysteries of the two martial arts in his head.

The Taegeuk Eighteen Swords, characterized by wielding a powerful and domineering sword with great force as a strong sword of the Hwangbo family.

The Blood Wolf Sword Technique, a primitive swordsmanship that a master of the Wudang sect [a famous Taoist martial arts sect] abandoned his sect and went into the mountains to adapt to the wild.

Discard what needs to be discarded, and combine what needs to be combined.

Furthermore, he finds the intersection of the two mysteries and creates a new mystery.

“You’re not doing it properly.”

Kang Han-cheol, who realized that the attack just now was an experiment, came out even stronger.

He vibrates the air with the power of waves and vibrates the ground with the power of earthquakes.

The whole world seemed to tremble every time he moved.

Kang, Clang!

‘As expected, it doesn’t work as I thought.’

He deflects the attack with the Taegeuk Sword and uses the Blood Wolf Sword Technique at the same time.

It didn’t look completely natural, but it allowed for exquisite evasion and attack.

– Through inner energy, Camille-style Dual Swordsmanship is enhanced.

– Through inner energy, the third stance of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Assault, is enhanced.

– Through inner energy, the fifth stance of the Taegeuk Eighteen Swords, Mountain Crush, is enhanced.

Clang-

Kwaang!

All sorts of martial arts quickly manifest from Se-un’s hands.

As the attacks continued, the pauses between martial arts disappeared, and beyond that, the mysteries gradually began to merge.

‘The number of martial arts is also insufficient.’

So far, Se-un has only used the Authority of Greed to learn martial arts when necessary. Thanks to his high stats, this alone was enough to avoid difficulties in battle.

However, he felt it as he began to wield his sword in earnest.

Transformation Sword, Quick Sword, Domineering Sword, Flying Sword, Piercing Sword, Illusion Sword, Heavy Sword, Soft Sword, Strong Sword, Decisive Sword…….

Among the many swords, Se-un had only mastered a small part.

So, of course, it was difficult to perfectly grasp the mysteries of martial arts, and it was also difficult to find martial arts that suited each other well.

‘The order is wrong.’

He tried to combine martial arts right away, but that was greed. First of all, it is important to learn various mysteries by learning various martial arts.

As soon as that thought came to mind, Se-un unfolded the Authority of Greed and took out a new martial art.

– The Treasure Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Flower Stream Sword Technique ]

– A mysterious Illusion Sword (流劍) said to have been learned in a dream by Dan Il-hwa, who was the first disciple of the Hwasan sect [one of the five major sects in Murim], after gaining enlightenment and falling asleep for 10 years.

Swish-

As he moved his inner energy according to the mysteries of the Flower Stream Sword Technique that rushed into his head, a faint floral fragrance lingered around him.

As he moved his sword, flowers seemed to bloom along the sword path.

The blooming flowers confuse the vision and create illusions.

“It seems like you’re finally thinking of doing it properly.”

“I was always proper.”

As the sword and fist collided, an unexpected floral fragrance spread around.
