Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 256

260

“I apologize for earlier. I thought it was an ambush.”

“Kahat? What are you talking about?”

“……Nothing.”

The jet-black monster tilted its head and melted back into the shadows. It seemed its memory wasn’t very good.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Envy,’ can’t hide its anxiety, even knowing you’re acting.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ shakes its beak, convinced you must have a death wish.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is startled, realizing that was an act.

Seun was now following the monsters.

They were leading Seun to their dwelling, saying they couldn’t just leave the guest their mother had sent standing still.

“How is Mother doing?”

“I helped her escape, but she’s become too weak. She said it will take quite some time to recover.”

“I see. It’s a shame I can’t go down the Tower right away……”

No one suspected Seun.

Finding the thoroughly hidden island, smelling of Estrosha, remembering her past and ambitions—various things proved that Seun was Estrosha’s new seed.

Besides.

“Finally, we’re getting out of here!”

“Kheuheuheu! I’m going to gorge myself as soon as I get into the sea!”

“I’ll pioneer a new deep sea! Kyahaha!”

Everyone had been confined for too long.

They seemed to be forbidding themselves from even thinking about suspecting Seun.

That meant they had been trapped here for a very long time.

‘They’ve endured well, considering.’

It was a moment that showed how important Estrosha’s existence was to them.

In the meantime.

Arriving at the center of the island, they saw the dwelling they were talking about.

It was the entrance to a huge cave, so dark and unremarkable that it was hard to believe they had survived here until now.

Even spending just over a year here would likely lead to mental illness.

“Is this the end of this place too!”

“Hehe, don’t get too excited. The date isn’t confirmed yet.”

“Still, we have ‘hope’ now. Don’t we?”

“Hope, huh? I never thought we’d say something like that. Hehe.”

Even inside the cave, it was still dark.

The only difference was that the humidity was a bit higher.

Other than that, there were a few black puddles and air holes, but nothing else.

It was truly a space only for survival.

However, Seun couldn’t frown in this situation, so he tried to look as bright as possible and happily accepted the monsters’ hospitality.

‘I need to think.’

He had passed the first hurdle. Now, he had to find a way to safely conquer this island.

He thought of various ways to attack the trial, such as creating opportunities to deal with them one by one or tricking them into causing infighting.

No matter how welcoming they were, the trial wouldn’t end unless he defeated them.

In the meantime.

“Oong- Dinner is ready-”

“Oh, it’s food.”

“You kept blocking us, saying there was nothing to eat, what happened?”

“I ordered the warehouse to be opened. Now that Mother has started to recover, we’ll be able to leave the island within a year at the latest.”

“Ooh! So, it’s a party?”

“Yahoo!”

A monster with black skin brought food.

He thought they would eat it raw, but it seemed they had done some cooking, as black steam rose from a huge stone pot.

‘……Black steam?’

Was this their way of treating a guest?

The monster Muung was the first to serve Seun a meal.

With a splat! sound, a foul odor wafted from the black liquid in the stone bowl.

Something seemed to be wriggling inside as if it were alive, making him doubt whether this was really cooked.

He looked around, wondering how to eat this.

“Hehe! It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten my fill!”

“Thank you for the meal!”

“Kua! It tastes terribly bad! Give me another bowl!”

“No refills. Just one bowl.”

“Ah, you said it was a party! A party!”

“Eat your fill today, and if you want to starve until Mother calls again, eat more.”

“Tch.”

Everyone was eating well. With blissful expressions, as if they were eating delicacies.

But from what they were saying, it seemed they were all aware that it tasted bad.

‘Well, that much time has passed…….’

They can’t escape this island.

They can’t go out to sea to hunt, and all they can do is get food from the island, but there was a limit to self-sufficiency through hunting.

In the end, all the stored food rotted, and they were surviving by eating rotten corpses washed up from the sea.

At that moment.

‘Ah.’

A good idea came to mind. The most reasonable way to inflict damage on them without arousing suspicion.

Having finished thinking, Seun immediately took something out of his subspace pocket.

“Heok!”

“Kahat? T, this is?”

“No way! Is this real!”

“Chulup…… Heuk!”

Meat.

It was emergency food that he had prepared in case he stayed in the trial for a long time.

Most players usually carry simple foods like jerky or crackers, but Seun had a subspace pocket, so he carried proper food.

Various edible monsters, as well as fresh vegetables gathered from the field.

As soon as Seun took it out, the monsters who had been eating the black porridge put down their spoons and wore blank expressions.

Soon after, Seun drew his sword.

“I’ll treat you to some cooking to give you strength.”

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ takes out his tableware, wanting to join in.

The monsters, who had already been captivated by the fresh ingredients, were nodding fiercely.

* * *

“C, can’t I just have a bite first? I can’t stand it!”

“Chulup…… Hold on. The longer you wait, the greater the joy that comes later.”

As soon as they saw the meat, some monsters rushed to eat it raw, but with the help of Kes, who seemed to be the leader, they stopped them.

Kes’s words were right, but more than anything, the cooking process was absolutely necessary to carry out Seun’s plan.

“Kuaaa- I can’t stand it!”

“Would you like to wait inside for a moment? I’ll bring it to you as soon as the cooking is done.”

“But, but!”

“That would be good. Everyone, let’s go inside.”

“Kuek! I really, you know I love you, right? When we get out of the island, come under me! I’ll treat you well!”

“Stop talking nonsense and come in.”

“Kuaaaak!”

The monsters went inside the cave.

Only then did Seun let out a small breath.

He had been hesitating because it would be difficult to carry out his plan if they were watching, but thanks to Kes, things were going smoothly.

Boil, boil-

The dish was stew.

It was familiar because it was the dish that Seun before regression had cooked the most, and it was the most suitable food for carrying out his plan.

He threw in coarsely chopped meat and vegetables into a large pot.

It wasn’t an exact recipe, just throwing it in as he felt, but before he knew it, a delicious broth was boiling.

To that.

‘To the point where my sense of smell is paralyzed.’

He poured in strong spices.

For extremely stimulating taste and aroma.

‘This should be enough.’

The cooking was enough with this.

The problem was right after.

Seun raised his hand appropriately above the pot and rotated the circle.

– The Treasure Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Secret Poison ]

– A black magic that creates colorless and odorless poison. The higher the circle and the more mana invested, the less noticeable and more toxic the result.

Secret Poison.

It was a magic that could be used from the 1st Circle, but its power increased exponentially as the Circle increased.

The biggest disadvantage was that its effectiveness decreased rapidly over time from the moment it was created, so it could not be mass-produced, but it didn’t matter now.

Drip.

The mana that flowed through the circle moved to the fingertips and became a transparent droplet like dew.

Even though he poured in most of the mana corresponding to the 6th Circle, this one drop was the end. However, as much as that, a strong toxicity was concentrated in this one drop.

Even if it was an intangible poison, traces would inevitably exist unless it was a 9th Circle Secret Poison…….

‘I won’t get caught.’

Especially since he poured in strong spices, the presence of the poison was blurred as much as possible.

Even that guy who was sensitive to smell earlier wouldn’t be able to find this.

Honestly, he was more worried about how much this poison would work against the monsters than being caught.

He was confident that he could kill one or two people instantly as soon as it touched their tongue, but the number of enemies was over twenty.

The potency would decrease as the toxicity spread.

At that time.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ admires your audacity in openly entering the enemy camp and poisoning them.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ presents you with a treasure from the vault.

– The Treasure Vault of Greed (眞) has been opened.

[ Intangible Poison ]

– The supreme intangible poison, once known to have been used by the Demonic Cult to assassinate the Martial Arts Alliance Leader.

MaMon’s gift arrived.

It was a transparent liquid in a glass bottle the size of a finger joint, similar to the poison Seun had just created with Secret Poison. No, even more than that.

Drop.

Seun dropped the poison into the stew without hesitation.

Following the Secret Poison that reached the 6th Circle, even the Intangible Poison. At this rate, no matter how strong the monsters were, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

“It’s done.”

“Ooh, finally!”

“Kuaaaaa! Me first! Me first!”

“Chulup!”

As he took the pot, the monsters in the cave ran like dogs.

They took a deep breath of the aroma spreading from the strong spices and wore dazed expressions.

Seun generously filled their bowls with stew.

The monsters were about to bury their heads in the bowls right away, but Kes calmly stopped them while swallowing his saliva.

As soon as each bowl was distributed.

“Let’s eat.”

“Thank you for the meal!”

“Wogeuk wogeuk!”

The full-fledged meal began.

Seun was wearing a gentle smile like his mother, but inside, he felt like cold sweat was dripping.

In the meantime, the pig-nosed monster who had come to Seun during their first meeting, smelled him, and smelled Estrosha’s scent, urgently raised his head.

With a serious expression, he swallowed the food in his mouth, looked around, and shouted loudly.

The moment Seun hardened his expression and put his hand on the handle of Durendal.

“Deliciousaaaaaaaa-!!”

The monster’s voice echoed loudly in the cave.
