Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 254

After confirming the return function in the 38th floor’s trial, the Diablo Guild’s conquest of the trials progressed rapidly.

“Oh, that place looks easy? Bro, I’ll go there!”

“Suit yourself.”

“Yes! Since I can return anyway, I’ll take my time and relax!”

First, Park Jung-pil chose the Golden Sand Beach.

It was an island reminiscent of a resort, with a wide, sparkling sandy beach.

He seemed to have chosen the island based solely on its appearance, but…

– The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Snatcher,’ struggles to hold back laughter, covering its mouth.

Se-un could sense it.

The sand wriggling on the beach was not due to the wind but to monsters.

It seemed there were monsters like Sandmen, making it difficult for players who couldn’t use magic to conquer.

‘Well, he’ll figure it out.’

He didn’t bother to stop him.

“May I go to that place? There seem to be many interesting monsters, and I’d like to prepare some samples.”

“You may, but that island has many plant-type monsters, so the gains might not be significant.”

“Haha, it’s fine! Thanks to experimenting with the ‘Curse Rafflesia’ I obtained before, I can now induce [attract or manipulate] plant-type monsters.”

– The Constellation, ‘Horse Trampling Death,’ is satisfied with the research achievements of the contractor who has begun to step into new territory.

After Park Jung-pil and Baek Hyun entered their islands, Choi Su-chang chose a treasure island called ‘Blue Void,’ which consisted of deep waters except for the outskirts.

Kang Han-cheol conquered a treasure island called ‘Rotten Sea,’ which resembled a skull with only a scary entrance.

One by one, the Diablo Guild members disappeared from the ship.

“That island looks huge?”

“It seems difficult alone… want to go together?”

“Let me join too!”

“More importantly, you need to get permission first. Pirate King, perhaps…”

“Do as you please.”

“Thank you!”

The players who joined from Pirate Island entered a place that seemed excessively large for an island.

As they left one by one, only a few remained, including Se-un and Yoo Seo-ah.

“Are you looking for something?”

“No. I’m not particularly looking for anything, just deciding where to go.”

That was the truth.

The treasure island Se-un had conquered before his regression wasn’t exactly a hidden gem.

No, compared to other treasure islands, the rewards were significantly better for the difficulty, but it wasn’t a place that would satisfy Se-un now.

‘It’s not like I know something either…’

It was the same as the tunnel maze trial on the 32nd floor.

The only information Se-un had was the island’s appearance and name.

The only fortunate thing was that the seagull he had contracted as a familiar was scouting the island in advance.

“If you don’t mind, you can come with me…”

“Kee-ook!”

“Good job.”

He stroked the seagull that had just returned from scouting a new island.

It was an island with quite rough terrain, and there was a place in the center where he could feel a considerable density of mana [magical energy].

He didn’t know the details, but it seemed like a place with decent rewards.

However, the difficulty seemed high, making it difficult for ordinary players to conquer, and Se-un had no intention of going himself…

“Yoo Seo-ah, you should go there.”

“…Yes.”

He decided to send Yoo Seo-ah.

She seemed to be lingering around, unable to choose a treasure island.

‘I don’t see any place I particularly like.’

He had already passed dozens of treasure islands.

There were quite a few that looked good, but none that satisfied him.

It was a moment when he desperately missed the Journey’s Compass, a unique skill from before his regression.

Just when he thought he had to enter a reasonably good treasure island.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ lowers its head, saying it can guide you if you’re okay with it.

Leviathan’s message was heard.

‘Guide?’

Come to think of it, Leviathan was the Constellation managing the Sea of Radiance on the 40th floor.

Even though the floors were different, Leviathan’s influence would have reached this entire sea.

“Do you know of any place?”

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ boasts that it doesn’t know the details like what the rewards are or what monsters exist, but it knows the general layout.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ says that things may have changed since it has been a long time.

“That’s fine. Please guide me to the most difficult place.”

It was natural not to know the rewards. Even if it was a Constellation that managed the sea, it couldn’t possibly know the contents of the trials one by one.

Moreover, this trial involved choosing and conquering one of the hundreds or thousands of treasure islands in the sea.

It couldn’t possibly know the entire treasure island.

So, he made this request, thinking that the higher the difficulty, the greater the reward.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ says that it recently learned something through Estrotsha.

“Estrotsha?”

The Queen of the Black Sea, Dea Vacandel Estrotsha.

A monster who betrayed Leviathan, coveted the sea, received a curse, and was driven out, now living in the spawning grounds, neither alive nor dead.

It was also the monster Se-un encountered when he went to meet Leviathan.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ says that there is a place in the 38th floor’s area where Estrotsha’s former subordinates hid in preparation for the future.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ hesitates to say that Estrotsha’s subordinates have a strength that doesn’t match the floor, even though time has passed.

Estrotsha’s subordinates.

She was once called the tyrant who stained the Sea of Radiance with blood and darkness. As such, her subordinates were known to be incredibly powerful.

They were different from the small fries he saw in the tutorial’s spawning grounds.

Her real children, born by consuming her power.

That was Estrotsha’s subordinates.

‘Certainly… they would be strong.’

Some may have died over time, and many may have become weaker with age.

He didn’t know if they had reproductive abilities, but even if new individuals were born, they wouldn’t be able to exert the same power as before.

‘It’s possible.’

It wasn’t a gamble.

If it were her subordinates when she reigned as the Queen of the Black Sea, it would be a different story, but now he could handle them.

“Please guide me.”

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ worries about you, saying it cannot guarantee the rewards.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ says that there may still be individuals who have fully retained their power…

– The Constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ pecks its beak, saying that worrying about that human is the most useless thing and urges it to introduce the place quickly.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is filled with anticipation, saying that there will be many delicious things there.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing Envy,’ sighs softly and guides you.

Along with Leviathan’s message, a faint blue mist was drawn in a line in the sea for Se-un to see.

* * *

Since the blue mist was only visible to Se-un, he took the helm and led the ship himself.

The color of the mist was too faint, making it impossible to guess how far it reached.

How long had he been moving along the mist? Se-un felt that the surrounding currents had subtly changed.

‘I wouldn’t have been able to find it naturally.’

The currents were naturally guiding the ship in a different direction.

Subtly, little by little. Even though he was holding the helm and looking out at the sea, the change was so subtle that he almost didn’t notice.

If it weren’t for the mist, Se-un would have lost his way as well.

“Ah, Bro. Please listen! I almost died! No, as soon as I arrived at the beach, the sand started to stir and rise up like people!”

“Shut up.”

“Hmph.”

Park Jung-pil, who had entered the trial right after Go Chang-seok, clung to Se-un as soon as he returned.

As Se-un had initially expected, the ‘Golden Sand Beach’ was a dud.

The monsters that appeared were tricky, and the ‘Conch Shell Trumpet’ he obtained as a reward was only slightly better than other items.

“But where are we going?”

“To find a treasure island for me to conquer.”

“Oh, did you find something? You’re the best, Bro!”

“Can you disappear for a bit? I need to concentrate.”

“Hey, Bro! You secretly like me talking to you from the side, don’t you…?”

“Kang Han-cheol!”

“Did you call?”

“The training you were doing at the stern, take him with you too.”

“Understood.”

“B-b-b-b-b-Bro!”

Only after Park Jung-pil was dragged away by Kang Han-cheol did the surroundings become quiet.

While moving against the subtly changing currents, following the mist, another anomaly appeared in front of Se-un.

Swish-

“Huh?”

“Why is the weather suddenly like this?”

“Wow, I can’t see anything ahead!”

The ship’s surroundings were instantly covered in a thick fog. It was difficult to even see the sea below the ship.

More importantly, the green mist that Leviathan had created was not visible because of the fog.

“Se-un, isn’t this dangerous? What if we hit a reef…?”

“It’s okay! We made it so sturdy!”

“Yeah! …It’ll probably be okay!”

“That’s right! …Probably!”

Se-un shook his head.

The thick fog that appeared while following Leviathan’s guidance was definitely not a natural phenomenon.

Rather, it was as good as saying that they were close to their destination.

If the fog blocks the way, just clear it.

[ Fire Field ]

– A fire magic from the Red Tower that creates a land of fire in the designated area, generating flames or raising the temperature.

Whoosh-

Flames rose around the ship.

Fire Field itself was not a threatening attack magic, but it could be used in various ways.

For example, it could change the surrounding terrain into fire attributes to lead the battle advantageously.

Although this was not a battle situation…

Swish-

It was possible to raise the temperature and evaporate all the fog.

“Oh, the fog is clearing!”

“Wow, how wide is the range? Our guild leader is reckless when you see him like this.”

“I know. I thought we would somehow lose direction, but he just got rid of all the fog.”

Fortunately, the blue mist that Leviathan had created did not disappear even after the fog disappeared.

Even if he stopped the magic even a little, the surrounding fog would rush in like a downpour, so he continued to maintain the magic for a while.

Then.

“Huh? I see something over there!”

Something finally began to appear in the vast sea where only the sea and fog were visible.

An island surrounded by black fog, with the inside completely invisible.

Even though it was still far away, barely within sight, it felt like something ominous was felt.

Since Leviathan’s mist was heading straight there, Se-un knew that was the destination.

Soon after, the name of the island floated up.

[ Hermits of the Black Sea ]

Black Sea.

The black sea known to Estrotsha made the Sea of Radiance with blood and darkness.

Since that name and the name Hermit were combined, the information Leviathan learned through Estrotsha was true.

“…Are you really going there? It looks too dangerous.”

“It’s okay. I came here expecting this much.”

“I understand. Then, I’ll prepare the boat right away.”

“It’s okay.”

Flap!

White wings spread from Se-un’s back.

It was more dangerous to move by boat because the island’s surroundings were covered in black fog.

It was safer to land on the island quickly, even if it consumed a little mana.

“Yoo Seo-ah, take good care of the ship.”

“Yes! Leave it to me.”

“Good.”

The followers of the tyrant who tried to break the rules of the tower and dominate one floor in the past.

Just how strong will they be?

Rather than worrying, he was looking forward to it.

On that island, it would be okay to show off all the skills he had built up so far.

Whoosh!

Se-un’s white wings disappeared into the black fog.
