Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 26

The Devil’s Vault Heist – Episode 26

Episode 26

Go Chang-seok.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, a testament to his urgent arrival. In his hands, he held what Se-un had been waiting for.

“That was a close one. I was trying to squeeze out a bit more quality, given the good materials, so I ran a little late.”

“Late? You’re right on time.”

“Haha, that’s a relief.”

Se-un tried on the armor Go Chang-seok handed him.

Made to fit his physique, it was neither too tight nor too loose, fitting perfectly. He moved his arms and waist, feeling no discomfort at all.

[Red Wolf Armor]

Category: Armor

Grade: C-

Description: A studded leather armor made by embedding hazel stones from Monkey Rock Mountain into the hide of a Red Wolf. It is designed to consider both defense and the wearer’s mobility.

Abilities: 1. Red Wolf’s Fang – Attack power increases by 10%.

2. Wolf’s Threat – Induces fear in monsters weaker than the wearer.

3. Essence of the Rock Mountain – Defense and durability are greatly increased.

Se-un couldn’t help but be even more amazed as he checked the item’s information.

A C-grade item, no less.

Even with the minus attached, and despite using the special material of hazel stones from Monkey Rock Mountain, a blacksmith creating a C-grade item in the tutorial was unheard of for Se-un.

“How is it? Do you like it?”

“Yes, more than I expected.”

“Haha, it’s the most satisfying piece I’ve made since arriving here.”

Moreover, one of the abilities attached to the armor, ‘Red Wolf’s Fang,’ was truly special.

It was extremely rare for attack power increase to be attached to defensive gear.

How could such a result be possible?

As Se-un pondered this, he soon found out the reason.

-The constellation, ‘Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ guarantees the armor’s performance, saying that a fraction of his skill was invested.

Veris, the 28th-ranked Demon King.

If his skill was imbued, it was understandable.

‘Well, contracting with a constellation of this caliber in the tutorial isn’t common in itself.’

Constellations are by no means trivial beings.

They observe players they like during the tutorial, extending a hand only to those who meet their expectations.

Therefore, contracting with a constellation early in the tutorial is not easy.

In other words, this result was thanks to Go Chang-seok’s outstanding skill and the 72 Demon Kings who took an interest, thanks to the two Demon Gods watching Se-un.

‘With this, I won’t have to worry about most attacks.’

No matter how high the difficulty of the tenth wave, Se-un’s equipment had already far surpassed that difficult level.

Durandal, though sealed, still possessed the power of a B-grade item, along with a D+ grade dagger for support, a D-grade cloak, and a C- grade armor.

In the first chapter of the tutorial, where even F-grade equipment was hard to come by, he was truly an existence that was far beyond balanced.

“Elder, you should quickly take shelter in the smithy.”

“Hey, how can I do that? This is a chance to witness my masterpiece in action!”

Go Chang-seok’s eyes twinkled.

Judging by his gaze going downwards, it was clear he wanted to see not only the armor Se-un was wearing but also Durandal’s performance.

“And I’m sure you’ll handle it well enough, so what’s there to worry about!”

“Then, please hide well behind the people.”

“I will. I’ll be looking forward to seeing how well you use it.”

Go Chang-seok, seemingly regretting not being able to examine Durandal, gave Se-un’s equipment one last look before returning to his spot.

[Tutorial First Chapter – Adaptation]

-The final, tenth wave is starting.

-Defend against the monster wave and prove your existence.

Just then, the short period of 5 minutes quickly passed, and the final wave began.

* * *

Gulp.

As the wave began, the camp fell into silence. You could even hear the person next to you swallowing.

That was because of what Yoo Seo-ah had said while preparing for this wave.

‘A boss monster.’

‘A monster stronger than the red monsters, no way.’

‘Still, Blood Wolf… Se-un, was it? Since that person came, it should be alright, right?’

Boss monster.

At first, they denied it, saying, ‘This isn’t a game, there’s no way.’ But this world had already far surpassed the common sense of Earth.

Just looking at the system messages floating before their eyes, wasn’t it a phenomenon that would have been considered a dream on Earth?

While everyone was tense, the bushes in the silent wolf forest began to rustle.

“Krrr…”

Animals usually have colors that match the terrain they live in.

That way, they can conceal themselves in their habitat to secretly hunt enemies or hide from them.

However, the monsters that appeared this time were different.

Monsters with blood-red hides and gleaming, sword-like fangs.

Red Wolves.

The moment they saw them, people could feel the tension slightly leaving their bodies.

“Phew, it’s just Red Wolves.”

“Yeah, a monster stronger than those. That’s impossible.”

Red Wolves.

They were definitely strong monsters, but they were the same monsters they had faced during the seventh wave.

People naturally began to form the formation they used when fighting wolves.

At that moment.

“T, there!”

“What are you doing? Hurry and form the…”

“The rock mountain! Towards the rock mountain!”

“Rock mountain?”

Wondering what they were talking about, the expressions of the people who turned their heads towards the rock mountain greatly distorted.

That was because the rock mountain, which had been full of hard gray, was being dyed red.

“Red Monkeys!”

“H, how?”

“Oook!”

The monsters they had seen during the ninth wave.

If Se-un hadn’t dramatically appeared, the camp would have already collapsed; they were opponents that inflicted that much damage.

It was a situation that completely ignored the common sense that monsters only appeared in one place at a time.

“T, then could it be!”

Some people hurriedly turned their heads.

With Red Wolves and Red Monkeys appearing, they realized that there was one more type left.

Unfortunately, the system did not recognize such people’s anxiety.

Thud thud thud!

“Damn it, Red Boars are appearing too!”

“Why!”

“What do we do?”

“F, formation?”

“Everyone! Please don’t panic and form a formation around the wooden fence! There are many of them, but they are monsters we have already defeated before!”

Yoo Seo-ah urgently calmed the people.

The final wave.

Se-un had warned them, and they had even prepared in advance, but she was just as anxious.

‘Still, the boss monster that Se-un mentioned…’

“Awooooo-!!”

As Yoo Seo-ah was comforting herself, saying it was fortunate, her expectations were easily betrayed, and a loud and sharp howl that seemed to burst their eardrums was heard from the wolf forest.

In response, the Red Wolves that had emerged from the wolf forest cleared the way and bowed their heads.

Soon, a giant wolf appeared between the trees of the forest.

It was about 3m tall, its entire body was covered with large and small wounds, and its long fangs protruded menacingly even when its mouth was closed.

-Red Fang, Carnil, has appeared.

“B, boss monster!”

In the end, it had appeared. The boss monster that Se-un had predicted.

Just seeing the Red Wolves, who had been so powerful, all bowing their heads, one could tell how powerful the wolf named Carnil was.

Moreover, the problem was that this was not the end.

Kugugugu-!

“O, on the hill too!”

“Oook!”

“On the rock mountain too!”

-Red Tusk, Pag, has appeared.

-Red Claw, Yashak, has appeared.

Similarly, ‘boss monster’ level monsters were appearing on both sides of the camp.

The faces of the people were quickly filled with fear.

“W, we’re doomed.”

“This doesn’t make sense…”

“L, leader. What should we do now…”

“T, that’s…”

It was on a different level from the waves so far.

The gazes of the people all turned to Yoo Seo-ah. It meant that she should give instructions quickly so that they could overcome this situation.

However, Yoo Seo-ah could not give them a hopeful answer. She was overwhelmed by the unexpectedly overwhelming force.

‘Se-un…’

Tightly clenching her fist, she looked around.

Although she was the leader, frankly, the camp’s de facto leader was none other than Se-un. So, she intended to seek advice from Se-un.

If it was him, who had predicted the situation in advance, she thought he would surely have a solution.

However, no matter how much she turned her head, she could not see Se-un. He had been here just a moment ago.

He had disappeared like a ghost, at the moment when everyone, including her, was panicking.

“Hyungnim! Where are you! S, surely you didn’t run away? Ugh, you bad guy!”

Just in case, but unfortunately, Park Jung-pil also seemed to not know Se-un’s whereabouts.

Even while they were worrying like this, the monsters were gradually pressuring the camp.

It was truly a desperate situation.

At that moment.

Kwaaaang-!!

In front of the wolf forest, a red aura surged greatly along with the wolf’s roar.

-Through internal energy, the third stance of the Blood Wolf Sword Art, Blood Wolf Assault, is enhanced.

-According to the mysteries of the Supreme Heart Technique, the power of martial arts is enhanced.

The aura, so vividly shaped that it was visible to the eye, took the form of a blood-colored wolf and brutally bit into the flank of Red Fang, Carnil.

Carnil screamed and retreated, but it was too late to react. With an unexpected blow, Carnil’s abdomen was torn open.

The brutal strike, which pierced through the hide and even cut through the muscles and peritoneum [membrane lining the abdominal cavity], caused the entrails within to flow out.

-Due to the ‘Red Wolf Armor’s’ ability ‘Wolf’s Threat,’ the nearby Red Wolves are terrified!

-Due to the ‘Gray Wolf Cloak’s’ ability ‘Intimidation,’ charisma is enhanced, further exacerbating the enemy’s fear!

The wolves guarding Carnil were filled with fear as their boss was seriously injured and staggered.

The once proud creatures whimpered like puppies needing to pee and lowered their heads.

In contrast, the people in the camp who were watching Se-un’s attack felt a glimmer of hope, and their eyes sparkled.

“Yoo Seo-ah, Kang Han-cheol.”

“…….”

“Se-un!”

The identity of the red aura that had attacked Carnil was none other than Se-un.

Even though the attack was over, the internal energy flowing over the sword was still churning as if it was not yet satisfied with blood.

Se-un looked at the camp with his usual deep eyes and uttered a short word.

Even though he didn’t raise his voice, that voice was clearly heard throughout the camp.
