Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 253

“Elder, are you sure you’ll be alright?”

“Haha, don’t worry. Judging by your reaction, it doesn’t seem like a difficult place. What are you so concerned about?”

“Still, wouldn’t it be better to get some information before challenging it…?”

“Isn’t it something we have to challenge sooner or later? Besides, the ore on that island looks quite unique. I want to investigate it.”

The Barnacle Rock Island.

Indeed, it didn’t seem like a treasure island where particularly strong monsters would reside.

Moreover, Go Chang-seok, despite his appearance, is the player with the second-highest strength in the Diablo Guild, after Kang Han-cheol. Armed with self-made equipment of A-grade or higher, he can honestly conquer most treasure islands without any problems.

“Grandpa, should I come with you?”

“Haha, are you worried about me? I appreciate it, but I’ll just take your concern. Our young ladies can go wherever they want later when they find a place they like.”

“Still…”

“Don’t you trust this old man? I’m more energetic now than when I was younger! Haha!”

Go Chang-seok rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick forearms.

His forearms, hardened through forging, looked as solid as steel. Even the toughest monsters would meet their end if struck by the battle hammer swung by those arms.

“Understood. If that’s what you wish.”

“I’ve already made a mini-boat! You can take that, Grandpa!”

“Thank you.”

Thus, Go Chang-seok became the first challenger.

Since sailing the ship too close could risk running aground on the reefs, they approached moderately before he transferred to the small boat made by the twin sisters.

They knew he was strong, but most of them still looked worried.

‘Should I keep an eye on him?’

Aside from worrying, there wasn’t much else to do while waiting.

Since observing with a telescope was difficult due to the rugged terrain of the rocky island, Se-un used a new method.

– You have opened the Treasury of Greed.

[ Familiar Spirit ]

– A basic magic used by summoners, it subjugates a small animal to establish an absolute master-servant relationship.

Familiar Spirit.

It is a magic used in various ways, such as directing the familiar to guard the surroundings or sharing its vision for reconnaissance.

However, even with a small animal, establishing an absolute master-servant relationship with a being is not easy. You must make the entity acknowledge the overwhelming difference in status and submit before making a contract.

It was quite a tricky requirement, but Se-un had a way to make it possible.

– The Saint’s Mark is reacting to the legend of the Blood Wolf.

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

The light emanating from the Saint’s Mark soared into the sky.

A seagull freely flying in the sky shuddered.

Originally, when using the power of fear, a medium of fear is needed. Overwhelming power, the death of a comrade, or blood splattered around, etc.

However, a single seagull was easily subdued without a medium.

“Kee-”

The seagull’s eyes turned red, and it plummeted as if falling.

It folded its wings in front of Se-un, lowered its head, and trembled.

Se-un reached out to the creature, which was completely consumed by fear.

Wooong-

Familiar Spirit.

Originally, it is a magic that can only be contracted through numerous attempts, failures, and overcoming extremely low probabilities.

“Kee!”

– Player Se-un Jeong has established a master-servant relationship with ‘Seagull.’

– ‘Seagull’ has been recognized as the first familiar.

Se-un succeeded in the master-servant contract far too easily.

“Wow! Oppa, how did you do that?”

“So cute!”

First, they conducted a few simple tests.

Directing it to move as they willed by connecting their minds, and sharing its vision.

Connecting minds was manageable, but the feeling of expanding their vision was not pleasant.

Managing two sets of vision made them feel dizzy, so they had to close their eyes and focus only on the seagull’s vision.

However, there was an even more efficient method.

Zhiing-

“Huh?”

“It’s us!”

“Wow! Is this what the seagull is seeing? Amazing!”

Se-un projected mana to depict the seagull’s vision.

Similar to a beam projector, the seagull’s vision was drawn on the wall of the ship.

The screen showed the twin sisters jumping up and down, enjoying themselves, and Yoo Seo-ah watching with wide eyes.

“Go.”

“Kee!”

As soon as it heard the command, the seagull spread its wings and soared.

As the altitude increased, the seagull’s elevated view was projected onto the mana screen that Se-un had cast.

“So pretty!”

“Cool! Let’s make an airplane later!”

“Yeah!”

The mana consumption was higher than expected, but since the size of the rocky island wasn’t that large, they could use it until Go Chang-seok completed his conquest.

And finally.

The figure of Go Chang-seok, who had just disembarked from the ship and landed on the rocky island, was visible on the mana screen.

* * *

[Han Areum: Grandpa, are we watching you right now?]

[Han Da-un: Isn’t it amazing!]

[Go Chang-seok: Hmm?]

Go Chang-seok, who had just landed on Barnacle Rock Island, looked at the clan chat with a puzzled expression.

Watching him? He had just landed, but from that angle, the ship shouldn’t be able to see him.

Perplexed, Go Chang-seok looked around and soon made eye contact with the seagull flapping in the air.

“Haha, is this also possible? How fascinating.”

Even though he was old, Go Chang-seok was adapting to the Tower better than anyone else, and he was satisfied with it.

Others might have dismissed it with a ‘no way,’ but he soon realized that Se-un was watching him through that seagull.

“This is embarrassing. There’s not much to see.”

As soon as Go Chang-seok landed on the rocky island, he started hammering.

Clang!

He broke the rocks and checked their composition.

After fiddling with the debris, he soon wore a good-natured smile.

“Haha, it’s indeed a unique material. Even if the durability isn’t strong, it inherently retains moisture.”

– The Constellation, ‘The Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ nods, saying it seems to be a type of aquastone and can be used to make water-attribute equipment.

They couldn’t leave such good ore behind.

Go Chang-seok took out a giant hammer called a Battle Hammer and broke the surrounding rocks, gathering them into his arms.

Of course, he didn’t take all the rocks, but only the high-purity parts.

How many rocks had he broken?

Finally, the first enemy appeared.

“Chireut.”

“Oh, a fascinating monster. Is it made of the same material?”

A crab covered in the same type of carapace [protective shell] as the rocks Go Chang-seok had just broken.

Even though it was a crab, its size was comparable to that of an adult male.

The pincers were only half the size of its body, but they looked capable of slicing through a human waist in an instant.

However.

Kwajik!

Go Chang-seok’s battle hammer shattered the crab’s carapace too easily.

The moment the monster fell in vain, another crab that had been hiding behind it launched a surprise attack.

Kang!

“Chireut?”

Contrary to Go Chang-seok’s hammer shattering the crab’s carapace, the pincer failed to make even a small scratch and bounced off.

The defense of the A+ grade armor he made himself was enough to easily ignore most physical attacks.

Kwajik!

Soon, its carapace was also shattered, and dark, murky entrails splattered everywhere.

“This one seems to have even higher purity! It’ll be useful!”

If rocks block the way, he breaks them. If monsters block the way, he smashes them.

Go Chang-seok advances with a simple but most efficient method.

Since the size of the rocky island itself wasn’t that large, he was able to reach the middle of the island in no time.

Jeojeojeok-

A giant clam was tightly attached to a huge rock as if it were part of the island.

Its size easily exceeded 6 meters in diameter, and the thickness revealed as it slowly opened its mouth was also enormous.

Inside its smooth flesh, a milky white pearl was hidden.

“Haha, this seems to be the boss monster.”

The reason he knew it was the boss monster was simple.
The name of this treasure island was Barnacle Rock Island.
The barnacle they were talking about must be that thing.

– Player Go Chang-seok uses ‘Breath of the Artisan.’

Go Chang-seok took a deep breath.

The muscles throughout his body turned red and swelled, gripping the handle of the battle hammer so tightly that it seemed like it would shatter.

“Everyone’s watching, so I’ll do my best.”

Go Chang-seok raised the battle hammer high and ran towards the boss monster.

The barnacle spewed sharp water pressure and spat out its milky white flesh like tentacles, but he didn’t stop.

He endured the stamina consumption and trusted the defense of his armor.

He could trust it because it was armor he had made himself.

The front foot, which had taken large strides, reached the barnacle’s nose, and the muscles, which had been trained by swinging it thousands and thousands of times to forge equipment, burst out in an instant.

– Player Go Chang-seok uses ‘Strike of the Artisan.’

Kwaaaang!!

The attack was so strong that dust rose around due to the violent air pressure.

When the dust completely settled….

“Hmm? Is it, dead?”

The barnacle’s form was revealed, its carapace completely shattered by the battle hammer, and its flesh was miserably crushed.

* * *

“……Huh?”

“Is it over?”

“No, could it be……. Is it not the boss monster?”

Meanwhile, the Diablo Guild, who had been watching Go Chang-seok’s boss monster hunt, were at a loss for words.

With a single blow.

Even Go Chang-seok, who was not a combat-type player, had sent the boss monster away with a single strike.

In the mana screen, Go Chang-seok was scratching the back of his head as if embarrassed and smiling, ‘Haha…….’

[Go Chang-seok: This, it really seems to be over. A message popped up.]

“Was that really the boss monster?”

“Was that perhaps the weakest island?”

“No.”

Se-un shook his head at the people’s murmuring.
The monster they had just seen, although it looked like just a big clam, was definitely not a weak monster.

Its carapace was made of ore, so it was a powerful carapace that could not be pierced by ordinary spears and swords. Water pressure that could penetrate rocks and tentacles that blocked the enemy’s movements.

It was a monster that players could barely conquer only by forming a party.

‘Besides, he killed it before it could even use its real power.’

Before the battle started.

When the barnacle briefly opened its mouth, Se-un saw it. Mana was shimmering brilliantly in the pearl hidden inside its mouth.

It was clear that it could have used that power to use some kind of magical ability.

“He’s just, Elder is strong.”

This was the correct answer.

“Waaa! Grandpa, you’re awesome!”

“Grandpa, you’re strong!”

“I need to step it up?”

“Or else I’ll be caught up by the Elder. Haha.”

There was no jealousy. All the Diablo Guild members congratulated Go Chang-seok on his victory as the same team.

Soon, a clan chat popped up.

[Go Chang-seok: Hmm? This, there’s a return function.]

[Jeong Se-un: Return?]

[Go Chang-seok: It says I can return directly to the ship, should I press it right away?]

[Jeong Se-un: Finish up first and then return. Explore the boss monster’s materials and the surroundings simply.]

[Go Chang-seok: Haha, I understand.]

Return function.

Since Se-un didn’t know about it, it seemed to be one of the convenience functions that appeared when guilds challenged trials.

Se-un before the regression didn’t know about this function because he was with pirates.

After a while, Go Chang-seok finished exploring and moved to the ship as if teleporting.

‘With this, there’s no need to wait.’

He had expected it to take a long time since there were more people, but if they used the return function, they could drop people off on the desired island and immediately search for the next island.

He might think it would only waste time compared to traveling alone, but Se-un’s thoughts were different.

‘Either way, I was going to check several islands.’

If they were going to explore treasure islands, it was more advantageous to challenge treasure islands with good rewards.

To do that, they needed to check various treasure islands.

“Let’s go to the next island.”

“Let’s go!”

“I’m next!”

“Elder, you were awesome. Haha.”

“Haha, thank you. I’ll go down below for a while. There’s something I want to check with these ores.”

The Diablo ship spread its sails wide.
