Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 245

249

– The power of ‘Fire Cannon’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Black Tower.

– The speed of ‘Gust of Wind’ increases according to the mysteries of the Green Tower.

– The range of ‘Earthquake’ expands according to the mysteries of the Red Tower.

Kwaruruk!

Kwang, Kugugugu-!

Various magics swirl around the pier.

The wind of fire engulfs the goods, and the earth splits, swallowing the loaded cargo. Seawater rushes into the cracked earth, creating turbulent pools.

“This is insane! Someone stop him!”

“This is beyond our league!”

“Captain! Call the Captain!”

Thus, the pirates fled for their lives without even putting up a fight.

Some tried to exploit openings and fire crossbows in surprise attacks, but it was futile. They only exposed their positions, hastening their demise.

– You have devoured ‘Pirate, John Mallet.’

– Absorbing nutrients increases Strength by 0.1.

– You have devoured ‘Pirate, Duan.’

– Absorbing nutrients increases Stamina by 0.1.

…….

Only players under the system’s management are immune to the Authority of Gluttony.

Even though they are the same humans, residents of the Tower can be devoured without any problems.

No, it would be difficult to call them residents since they exist in trials, not safe havens.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ says that he can’t stop his hands and mouth, even while complaining that eating such cheap food after only eating high-class meals doesn’t suit his taste.

Well, it’s understandable that Beelzebub would say that.

Most of the pirates loitering here, let alone proper pirates, had skills worse than ordinary monsters.

The stats that are rising right now prove that fact.

At first, I thought even 0.1 was good, but before long, even that disappeared.

“What is this?!”

“My comrades’ corpses are disappearing… no, they’re being eaten!”

“Get out of the way! Run away!”

The sense of dread emanating from the Authority of Gluttony was truly immense.

As cruel fangs devoured fallen comrades, even those who tried to stand up to Se-un in surprise attacks vanished.

But this is not enough.

– The Holy Mark reacts to the Legend of the Blood Wolf.

– The first ability of the Holy Mark, ‘Fear,’ awakens.

To call out the executives of the pirate crew. No, to call out the Pirate King, who doesn’t even show his shadow in the major and minor affairs of the pirate island under normal circumstances, an even bigger commotion must be made.

The Holy Mark emitted light, stimulating the fleeing pirates.

Then…….

“Keu, Keueok!”

“Kureureureuk-”

The fleeing pirates foamed at the mouth, their eyes rolling back, and collapsed on the spot.

Thanks to Se-un’s divinity, which had recently skyrocketed after absorbing the Outer [referring to an entity or power from outside the Tower] and saving the Shelter and Trials, Se-un’s Holy Mark had grown much stronger than before.

The same fear, but it is only effective if there is room to escape.

Se-un’s strengthened Authority took away even the thought of escape from the pirates. They were just lying there, waiting for the death that would come soon.

‘It’s about time someone showed up.’

The number of pirates hit by magic is over hundreds. If you add up the pirates who have become incapacitated due to the Authority of Fear, the number easily exceeds a thousand.

It would be strange if no one showed up after causing such a commotion.

As if answering Se-un’s thoughts, some pirates revealed themselves, cutting through the hot flames and sharp winds.

“Whew~ Impressive. Does he have a personal vendetta against us?”

A man appeared, whistling lightly.

A tall man with a good build, holding twin swords in his hands, and his movements were unusually swift.

“At least 5th Circle. No, a 6th Circle magician. With this level, he’s close to the vice-leader of the Magic Tower.”

The next woman to appear was a magician holding a skull-adorned staff.

She seemed quite confident in her skills, as she not only guessed Se-un’s magical circle level but also scattered the Fire Cannon flying toward her.

“I was about to have a refreshing drink after a long time! You ruined my mood!”

A giant man stroked his mustache, shattering the rock that suddenly jutted out from the ground with an ax.

A man as huge as, if not more than, Kang Han-cheol.

Whether it was confidence from his size or an overwhelming presence, he exuded it, but I didn’t feel any particular sense of crisis because I knew he would be weaker than Kang Han-cheol no matter how big he was.

“Only three people.”

“Only? Are you calling us only three people right now?”

“I know you’re skilled, but you’re arrogant.”

“Come on, let’s finish this quickly! I left my drink behind!”

They wore hoods, cloaks, and arm guards. Each had a mark symbolizing their pirate crew emblazoned on them.

Perhaps all three of them are the captains of different pirate crews.

The number of pirate ships in the pier is fifty.

Not all captains are strong, but that means there are at least fifty who possess a minimum level of skill.

‘Well, it’s perfect for warming up.’

Now that the elites have appeared, there is no need to clean up the rabble with magic.

Se-un, who stopped using magic, drew Durandhal [Se-un’s sword] and pointed it downwards.

The beginning of full-scale training.

The goals of the trial will naturally be fulfilled while training.

* * *

The pier located in the eastern part of the pirate island. This is where the Pirate King’s ship is docked, and it was the quietest place even within the rough and noisy pirate island.

No matter how great a pirate was, no one dared to attack the Pirate King.

It was even rumored that even the navies encountered in the open sea would turn tail and run the moment they saw the Pirate King’s flag.

Such a pier…….

Kwaaaang!

Hwareuk, Pajijijik!

“Uwaaaak!”

It was engulfed in an unexpected disaster.

Fire and wind raged, and the screams of pirates mingled with the smell of burning flesh.

As the commotion grew, the eyes of the pirates outside the pier naturally turned towards it.

And in the meantime.

“As expected, it was hyung-nim [term of respect for an older brother or male friend]!”

The first to poke his head out was Park Jung-pil.

It was also because it started around the pier, and thanks to hiding in a high place with a clear view to watch for opportunities as soon as the trial started.

“If I interfere, it will only be a hindrance, right?”

It was the same excuse as usual, but it was also true. Se-un had entered the pier alone for the purpose of training in the first place.

It would only be annoying for Se-un if Park Jung-pil intervened unnecessarily.

“But I have to clear the trial too…….”

Park Jung-pil looked around.

Pirates who had heard the commotion and came to investigate were appearing one by one.

Among them, Park Jung-pil quietly sharpened his gaze.

“Keuheuheuh, I shouldn’t waste the opportunity hyung-nim gave me, right?”

– The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Bandit,’ prepares to watch, telling you to roll on the floor quickly.

A constellation watching Park Jung-pil. The 6th-ranked Demon King, Valefor.

Until now, Park Jung-pil had only used his power to increase speed or avoid enemy attacks, but Valefor’s forte was not originally like that.

Seuseuk.

Park Jung-pil, who had been watching for an opportunity, got up from his seat and nonchalantly joined in with the pirates who had come to watch the situation.

In Park Jung-pil’s hand, as he naturally pushed through the crowd, was a bag full of gold coins.

“Keuheuheuheuh.”

– The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Bandit,’ is amazed at how well you are using his abilities beyond expectations.

– The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Bandit,’ is proud, but regrets that the fun has decreased.

Valefor’s main authority is theft. As it is called the Craft of the Thief, his authority was specialized in stealing other people’s belongings.

The pirates did not notice even until their pockets were picked and the weapons they were holding disappeared.

However, people must know what is appropriate.

“Huh? What, where’s my money?”

“My money is gone too!”

“Damn it! Which bastard is it?”

The pirates, who belatedly noticed the existence of the thief, began to search for the culprit.

Park Jung-pil, who judged that theft was impossible here, tried to leave the scene nonchalantly whistling, but there was one thing he didn’t know.

“Isn’t that guy him?”

“It’s a face I’ve never seen before?”

Most of the pirates here were from the same pirate crew, or even if not, they were people who were somewhat familiar with each other while living on the pirate island.

Among them, a stranger who made a clanging sound every time he walked was…….

“It’s that guy!”

“Catch him!”

“Uwaaaaaaak! How did you knowwww!”

– The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Bandit,’ laughs and picks up popcorn again, saying that the genre has finally returned.

It was a suspicious thief that anyone could see.

* * *

– The first form of the Hwaryu Sword Technique, Lotus Flower (蓮花) [a graceful and precise sword form], is enhanced through internal energy.

“The sword is not visible…… Keuek!”

Se-un’s sword scatters like the scent of flowers, cutting down the enemy.

Normally, I would have mixed in the mysteries of the Explosive Demonic Art to increase attack power, but I didn’t do that now. Now I wanted to explore the pure mysteries of martial arts.

Like the fragrant and subtle mysteries engraved in the Hwaryu Sword Technique.

– The first form of the Pagi Sword Technique, Reverse (逆行) [a defensive and counter-attacking sword form], is enhanced through internal energy.

Gagagak!

The next Pagi Sword Technique that unfolded reversed the trajectory of the giant’s ax, cutting off his wrist.

An attack that smoothly captured the mysteries of the Pagi Sword Technique, which reads and breaks through the opponent’s attacks.

There was no need for destructive power or quick agility. Just by deeply tasting the mysteries of martial arts, I could subdue the enemy without exerting any strength.

“Damn it! Where did this monster suddenly pop out from!”

“Where are the captains! Gather them all!”

“He was clearly a vice-leader level magician, but how can he have such excellent swordsmanship……!”

As time passed, new captains appeared and stood in Se-un’s way.

If you defeat one, two appear, and if you defeat two, three appear.

However, no matter how much of an alliance it was, it was impossible for the proud captains to form a proper formation or strategy in an instant.

– The fourth form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Roar (血狼咆哮) [a powerful and aggressive sword form], is enhanced through internal energy.

“Keuaaaak!”

“What kind of monster is this!”

“We can’t do it even if we all stick together?”

He widens the overall gap with the Blood Wolf Roar and jumps into the fray.

Like a wolf, he sweeps through the enemy lines, receives attacks like a heavy mountain, and lets attacks flow like a flowing river.

The pirates are helplessly cut down without even getting a sense of the unpredictable fighting style.

‘I think I’m starting to understand.’

Indeed, as I faced swords with various strong people, the mysteries of martial arts that had been stagnant became clearer.

The opponent is no longer visible, and I just entrust my body to martial arts and flow like the wind.

‘Just a little more…….’

I felt a ticklish feeling as if something was about to be touched.

Just one more step…….

If I reach out just a little more, I feel like I will succeed in a new combined attack.

But why?

Suddenly, all the attacks around me stopped.

When I opened my eyes with a feeling of emptiness that drained my strength, there was no one left around Se-un.

“Is it already over?”

Still, I thought it would be fun to deal with fifty captains who lead a pirate crew…….

It was okay to taste each martial art, but there were no enemies who could help me improve beyond that.

However, I can’t go back like this.

‘Now that I’ve come this far, I should see the Pirate King before I leave.’

The one I had only heard rumors about before the regression and had never actually seen.

The players who said they would defeat the Pirate King and occupy the pirate island, making this trial itself their territory, invariably lost their lives.

Most of them couldn’t even overcome the captains they had faced so far, let alone the Pirate King.

‘If it’s that kind of existence, I can do it.’

Just one more step forward. If it’s the Pirate King, I felt like he could help me take that one step.

Just as I was about to step onto the bridge leading to the Pirate King’s ship, which stretched the highest from the pier.

Kukung!

A huge sense of oppression weighed down on Se-un’s shoulders.

A man appeared at the end of the bridge, at the entrance of the huge ship.

A man wearing a white uniform that didn’t suit pirates at all.

However, the blood and traces of spears and swords that were stubbornly stained on the uniform, and the skull mark on his chest, proved that he was a pirate.

“Are you…… someone dispatched from the Empire?”

Pirate King, Valstark.

He revealed himself.
