Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 247

251

– Completed the hidden quest, ‘Annihilate the Pirate King’s Islands.’

– Additional points are awarded for the trial ‘Securing Funds.’

– Completed the hidden quest, ‘Execute the Pirate King.’

– Additional points are awarded for the trial ‘Securing Funds.’

A new martial art created by combining the Blood Wolf Sword Technique and the Mount Tai Eighteen Style Swordplay: ‘Mount Tai Blood Wolf.’

This attack, which combined the Blood Wolf Sword Technique’s subtle surprise with the Mount Tai Eighteen Style Swordplay’s immense power, devoured the Pirate King without a trace.

‘He was a more challenging opponent than I thought.’

Originally, he wanted to use advanced martial arts like the Violet Haze Sword Art or the North Sea Sword Art in addition to his basic skills.

However, even with the help of Karma, advanced martial arts still required preparation time. He needed to convert his internal energy to match the martial art.

But the Pirate King didn’t allow it.

He relentlessly fired bullets at any slight opening, forcing Se-un to stick to basic martial arts.

‘Well, thanks to that, I gained a deeper understanding and was able to complete the Mount Tai Blood Wolf.’

In the end, it all worked out.

He defeated the Pirate King and most of his pirates, completing two hidden quests.

Looking at the spot where the Pirate King had been, his sword was broken in two, but his pistol remained intact.

Since gun-type items were rare in the Tower, Se-un immediately picked up the gun to check its information.

[Zeman Empire Golden Eagle]

Category: Pistol

Grade: A

Description: A flintlock pistol known to be bestowed only upon military personnel of the Zeman Empire with the rank of commander or higher.

Abilities: 1. Summary Execution – Instantly kills with a low probability upon striking a vital point.

2. Imperial Renown – Automatically assists in aiming at the enemy, improving accuracy.

3. Imperial Roar – The sound of the gun firing disrupts the concentration of nearby enemies.

‘A-grade.’

Although the grade was high, the abilities weren’t that great, perhaps because it was more for proving rank than for combat.

However, an A-grade item should be sufficient to exert power using Mammon’s Relic.

Among Mammon’s Relics were gun-type relics, so he took it for future use.

Just as he was about to use the Gluttony Authority to finish things off.

“T-the Pirate King is down!”

“No way! Did he just take cover? I don’t see a body….”

“That gun! It’s the Pirate King’s!”

“I-it really is!”

Before he knew it, a crowd of onlookers had gathered around the pier.

He had ignored them because they were hiding and holding their breath, even when he sensed their presence, but now that the battle was over, they were slowly revealing themselves.

‘Well, the Pirate King was like the ruler of the pirate island.’

It was only natural for the citizens to be bewildered by the disappearance of their king.

However, what set the Pirate King apart from ordinary kings was that the only thing needed to ascend to that position was strength.

“So, the Pirate King’s seat is now vacant?”

“Then our captain should take the seat! Our captain waged guerrilla warfare against three generations of the Navy….”

“What are you talking about! It’s obviously our Kyakshak! Is there anyone here who can beat Kyakshak in a one-on-one fight?”

“Get out of the way. *I* am the Pirate King!”

Because of that, everyone started to covet the Pirate King’s seat, thinking, ‘Maybe me?’

Of course, before that…….

“First, shall we take down that guy?”

“We have to.”

“He doesn’t seem to be a pirate. We can’t hand over the Pirate King’s seat to an outsider.”

Se-un became their primary target.

They seemed to think that if Se-un disappeared, one of them could become the Pirate King.

“He’s strong, but he just fought the Pirate King. He must be exhausted.”

“Let’s determine the pecking order after that, among ourselves.”

“Hehe, that’s good.”

The pirates approached Se-un with their characteristic sly smiles.

The commotion was so great that most of the pirates on the pirate island had gathered. Even if the individual combat strength was weaker than the pirates who were originally at the pier, their numbers were enormous.

There were even pirates who appeared on ships, blocking the sea and forming a perfect encirclement.

At that moment, a message popped up.

– Due to the completion of the hidden quest, a linked quest, ‘The New Ruler of the Pirate Island,’ has been created.

– Do you accept?

‘They’re giving players a chance too, huh.’

He didn’t know what was good about becoming the Pirate King, but he had no intention of backing down here. Even though he had lost a lot of strength in the previous battle, it was enough to instill fear in them.

– According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Flash Flood’ is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Azure Tower, the stability of ‘Flash Flood’ is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Scarlet Tower, the range of ‘Flash Flood’ is expanded.

Flash Flood.

Originally, it was a spell that used mana to create and pour out a massive amount of water, but Se-un used it differently.

Since this place was the sea anyway, there was no need to create water separately; there was plenty of water all around.

So, instead of creating water by manipulating the magic formula, he only needed to use the water from the sea.

If he did that…….

Splash!

“A-a wave!”

“Crazy, what is this!”

Without spending a lot of mana, he could create a huge tsunami.

The seawater surged in an instant and engulfed the pirates who were approaching Se-un.

There was no use in running away. The entire pier was within the attack range, so the pirates who were aiming for Se-un were helplessly swallowed by the wave.

“Kuagh!”

“Get out of the way! I can’t swim! Hurry… Glug!”

“What kind of monster is he? He still has that much strength left after fighting the Pirate King?!”

Of course, the attack power itself wasn’t that great. Most of the pirates lived in the sea, so they adapted to the water very quickly.

In particular, even after being hit by the tsunami, some of the captain-level pirates did not back down and were still glaring at him.

However, this was just a preparation process.

Planting seeds in the enemy and preparing to activate the Authority of Fear.

– The Saint’s Mark reacts to the Legend of the Blood Wolf.

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

The light of the Saint’s Mark spread throughout the pier.

Beyond killing the Pirate King, he had even caused a huge tsunami, so the seeds of fear were sufficient.

The power of fear stimulated and nurtured the seeds planted in the pirates’ minds.

“M-monster……”

The grunts collapsed as if they were crumbling, not just kneeling.

Even those who managed to hold on were barely kneeling on one knee, and even the captains were sweating profusely and bowing their heads.

The prestige from just a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.

All the pirates on the pier bowed their heads in front of Se-un.

“Are you going to challenge me?”

Clang.

Se-un drew Durandal, which he had put away after the battle with Valstark.

The sound of metal echoed coldly in the pier, where even the sound of the waves had subsided.

And eventually.

“N-no!”

“You defeated the Pirate King, so it is only right that you inherit the Pirate King’s seat!”

“We greet the new Pirate King!”

The pirates of Pirate Island knelt before Se-un.

* * *

– Completed the hidden linked quest on the 36th floor, ‘The New Ruler of the Pirate Island.’

– The pirates of Pirate Island, Gairo, acknowledge you as their new ‘Ruler.’

– ‘The Wolf of the Bandit Island’ is recorded in the Legend of the Blood Wolf.

The King of Pirate Island.

Since it was just a temporary trial, he expected only additional contribution points, but the legend of his title was updated.

An unexpected gain.

‘Somehow… I seem to be getting a legend on every floor.’

The trial on the 30th floor, the Fourth Resting Place, the trial on the 34th floor, the trial on the 35th floor, and even this trial on the 36th floor.

He was continuously updating the legends that were so difficult to obtain.

As his titles increased, the power of the Saint’s Mark naturally strengthened, and the divinity he could use also increased.

Since legends were being written in completely unexpected places, Se-un’s growth rate was now much faster than originally planned.

In terms of the number of legends alone, he might be comparable to the Tower’s rankers.

– Devoured ‘Pirate King, Valstark.’

– Absorbing nutrients increases all stats by 5.

Even though there wasn’t even a corpse to be seen, Gluttony’s Fangs appeared here and there on the pier to find and devour him.

The pirates who watched this trembled once again.

“D-do you perhaps have any orders for us?”

The pirates still couldn’t raise their heads in front of Se-un.

No one dared to get up from their seats, sweating profusely and waiting for Se-un to say something.

“Gather all the people affiliated with the ‘Diablo Guild’ on the island.”

“Yes, sir!”

“I’ll gather them right away! Even if I have to break their limbs……”

“They’re my companions.”

“H-heok! I-I’m sorry! I’ll bring them to you with all my heart!”

Now that he had taken the Pirate King’s seat, securing funds was no longer significant.

If he needed funds, he could just extort gold coins from the pirates who were bowing their heads in front of him.

However, similarly, now that he had taken the Pirate King’s seat, gold coins themselves were no longer significant.

Even if he collected gold coins, the only place to use them was on this pirate island, and since he had become the Pirate King, he could just plunder what he needed. So, he was trying to gather the guild members who were suffering in various parts of the island first.

“Is there anything else you need?”

“Hmm…….”

More than half of the pirates had left to find the guild members, but a considerable number were still kneeling in front of Se-un.

Se-un thought of the next trial at the question of the burly captain who was bowing his head at the front.

‘The next trial is departure.’

In other words, the reason for collecting funds was to prepare a ship.

Before his regression [time travel], Se-un barely managed to make gold coins, but he couldn’t afford to build a ship, so he had to pay gold coins and board another pirate ship.

Most players passed the next trial in that way.

But it was different now.

There was no need to board another pirate ship; he could just plunder the best pirate ship.

‘If possible, it would be best to take the Pirate King’s flagship…….’

Se-un turned his head.

The walls of the huge warship were half-destroyed and tattered due to the previous battle.

While battling to realize the mysteries of martial arts, he had carelessly destroyed the pirate ship because he didn’t want to be disturbed.

Perhaps that *was* the best warship on this island.

‘No, if there’s no ship, I can just make one, right?’

The twin sisters came to Se-un’s mind.

The manufacture and construction of warships were completely separate areas, but they were blessed by Malphas and Halphas [powerful demons known for craftsmanship].

Moreover, they usually made various attempts and created various things, so wouldn’t it be possible to build a warship?

If so, then there was only one thing left.

Only materials for building a warship.

“Tear it down.”

“Yes?”

Se-un smiled and said to the pirates.

Although they weren’t intact materials, there were plenty of materials to build a ship on this pier.

That was, the dozens of warships that had been destroyed by the battle until just now.

If he disassembled them all, wouldn’t it be possible to build a warship that was bigger and more magnificent than the Pirate King’s flagship?

“Tear down all the ships on the pier.”

“B-but how can we tear all of those down…….”

Clang.
