Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 267
Episode 267
The Sea God, Triton.
Jeong Seun knew of this constellation as well.
‘He was one of the guys who hung out with Pan.’
Should I call them the pranksters of Olympus?
Just as Pan is the son of Zeus, Triton is the son of Poseidon.
Including Hades’ son, Zagreus, the three of them were famous constellations in Olympus for causing various troubles.
– The constellation, ‘Trumpeter Calling the Waves,’ does not understand why you also have the trumpet in your hand.
– The constellation, ‘The Bowing Crow,’ gives a bitter smile.
The Bukinum, a treasure Seun just used, was one of the representative treasures symbolizing Triton, along with the trident.
He couldn’t believe that Seun was using a treasure that he wouldn’t even give to his own apostles.
‘How did that bastard……?’
He wanted to call Tuning and complain to the management office right away about how this happened, but he didn’t have time for that now.
Even though the sea had calmed down, the Kraken was still a major concern.
“Gurgle, gurgle-”
The Kraken stirred its legs, making a sound like boiling water.
Even though the currents were calm as if by magic even as its huge legs wriggled, the physical force of the legs themselves could not be ignored.
Thump!
“Ugh!”
“Hyung-nim [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend]!”
The impact was felt as the leg struck the ship.
Thanks to the Great Shield dispersing the impact, the ship itself was not damaged.
However, did the Kraken also recognize the existence of the Great Shield? After hitting it a few times and the barrier not breaking, instead of swinging its legs, it wrapped its huge legs around the ship.
“Shake it off!”
“Prepare the cannons!”
“I’ll take care of the starboard [the right side of the ship]!”
“Damn it, it’s attached to the stern [the rear of the ship] too! How many legs does it have?”
Perhaps because the waves had calmed down, the guild members, who had regained their balance, went to their positions and resisted the Kraken.
Kang Han-cheol’s fist swung, and Baek Hyun’s undead exploded.
The walls of the ship opened, and dozens of cannons spewed fire.
“Gareuk- Gyarurururu-”
Fortunately, even the Kraken could not completely withstand the attack.
The Kraken’s unique flexible skin absorbed a considerable amount of impact, but as the attacks accumulated, its legs turned black and tattered, falling off the barrier.
“That’s it! We succeeded! Let’s keep doing this!”
“It’s not as big of a deal as I thought?”
“Uh, uh? Wait, what’s that?”
“Hey, Park Jung-pil! Don’t slack off and get to the cannons!”
“No, look at that! That!”
“What! Huh?”
The guild members gained confidence as one leg fell off.
However, their confidence was quickly replaced with despair as soon as they looked at the surface of the water that Park Jung-pil pointed to.
“Is that even possible?”
“Crazy!”
The sea that had been submerged in the sea was rapidly recovering.
A viscous substance swirled around the blackened skin, returning it to its original moist state, and the tattered suckers were quickly restored.
One leg was completely recovered in less than a minute.
A recovery rate that was unbelievable even when seen with one’s own eyes.
It was so fast that it seemed faster than a troll’s recovery rate.
‘As expected, is it a myth-grade Kraken?’
– The constellation, ‘Trumpeter Calling the Waves,’ doesn’t know how you got the trumpet, but he crosses his arms, saying you won’t be able to handle his pet squid.
The Kraken imbued with Triton’s divinity.
Even Seun was amazed by its power.
A situation that could not be left unattended.
Yoo Seo-ah was also busy blocking the Kraken’s legs and was unable to properly command the situation.
Seun, who was watching this situation, went to the center of the deck and raised his voice.
* * *
36th to 40th floors.
The management office that manages the theme of the giant sea.
As the theme being managed was huge, there were many managers, and the place, which had an endlessly relaxed atmosphere due to the sea scenery, was now busier than ever.
“Isn’t that obviously Olympus’ revenge on player Jeong Seun!”
“W-we don’t know that. In the first place, it was that player who voluntarily entered the center of the Sea of All Beings…….”
“In the first place, that Kraken was moving towards player Jeong Seun! Even if player Jeong Seun hadn’t gone inside, it would have crawled out to the coast and attacked!”
“That’s unknowable…….”
“Do you really think so? Even though the Kraken had been still for hundreds of years, it started moving its legs as soon as player Jeong Seun entered the trial?”
“Ahem…….”
Tuning’s voice was particularly loud in the midst of the commotion.
A dignity that made even the head of the management office unable to move.
It was hard to believe that he was the manager of the tutorial until recently, who was even embarrassed to be affiliated with the Tower.
“Above all, Olympus is currently prohibited from interfering with player Jeong Seun in any way!”
“We know that too. We’ve already sent a message to Olympus…….”
“Director! We have a message from Olympus!”
“Oh! What do they say!”
“They say that Triton is not a constellation belonging to Olympus, so it has nothing to do with them…….”
“W-what?”
Triton not belonging to Olympus.
Even if it was another constellation, there was no one here who didn’t know Triton, Poseidon’s son.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the absurd lie, and then one of the managers brought a recently entered system record.
“I-I think it’s true. There’s a record of Triton recently leaving Olympus.”
“What? He should know that abandoning his affiliation would lower his status as a constellation?”
“But, it’s true!”
“……So that’s what happened.”
While the two were talking, Tuning, who was listening to them from the side, nodded.
It was obvious without looking. Someone from Olympus had gone so far as to kick Triton out of Olympus in order to take revenge on Seun.
“H-but why would they do that? Just for one player.”
“That player dropped a constellation from Olympus. This is not just a loss of power, but a basis for being looked down upon by other constellations.”
“That’s true, but…….”
If this happens, things will get difficult.
Since he has left Olympus, the restrictions of the management office will not apply to Triton.
Interfering with the trial right now?
In the first place, part of the Sea of All Beings was Triton’s territory, and the Kraken was also a pet-like being that Triton had hidden.
Even if the management office said something right away, it would be difficult to impose restrictions if they made excuses such as letting him stretch his arms a bit while taking his family for a walk after a long time.
‘To resort to such tricks…….’
For the constellations to go this far to deal with just one player…….
The image of the constellations in Tuning’s head dropped even further.
But still, there was no other way. Even as a special supervisor, there was no way for Tuning, the manager of the Tower, to stop Triton.
‘Please, be safe……!’
All he could do was wait for Tuning to cross the line and cheer for Seun.
* * *
“Yoo Seo-ah, Kang Han-cheol, Choi Su-chang! This way!”
“Yes!”
“I understand.”
“Did you call for me?”
“The rest of you, hold off the legs as much as possible and wait for my instructions!”
“Yes, sir!”
As soon as the minimum number of people needed to carry out the plan that came to mind was gathered, Seun explained the plan.
No, it was embarrassing to even call it an explanation.
It was a luxury to leisurely explain in the current urgent situation.
“The goal is to float that Kraken into the air.”
“That giant… you mean?”
“What’s the plan?”
“Explanation later. Just float it, and I’ll take care of it, so please do just that much.”
“……I understand.”
“I will exert my abilities to the fullest…….”
“First, approach it.”
“Yes!”
Choi Su-chang and Yoo Seo-ah immediately jumped off the ship.
Choi Su-chang swam, dodging the Kraken’s legs as quickly as a fish, and Yoo Seo-ah ran across the water, using the Dengpingdushui technique [a martial art skill that allows one to run on water].
Meanwhile, Kang Han-cheol stood on the ship with a stiff expression.
“……How do I get there?”
“Swim or something. Anyway, your role is the last.”
“I can’t swim.”
“…….”
I thought it was just that his powers didn’t work in the water, but he can’t even swim.
It seems that the problem is not swimming, but the act of jumping into the water itself is scary.
To be afraid of water with that size.
Fortunately, Baek Hyun, who was listening to the conversation nearby, offered a solution.
“I’ll help you with that! Summon zombie.”
The corpses of piranhas that had been dead under the water floated up.
They created long legs, showing off their blackened scales.
A leg made using corpses. It was a feat that only Baek Hyun could create.
“Thanks.”
Only then did Kang Han-cheol jump off the ship.
He still looked uneasy about standing on the sea, but he didn’t back down.
This was one of the reasons why Seun liked Kang Han-cheol.
[Jeong Seun: I want you to lift the Kraken as high as possible the moment I signal.]
[Choi Su-chang: Leave it to me.]
The reason why Seun doesn’t step forward first and directs the guild members is simple.
To kill that monster-like Kraken, you have to penetrate that thick, elastic skin and inflict a blow that it cannot regenerate from.
However, it is difficult to inflict such a blow while in the sea.
Even if you use water, the Kraken’s resistance will be even greater, and even if you use electricity, it will surely use the sea to send electricity.
So, he was planning to gather all his strength at the most appropriate time and kill the Kraken in one blow.
[Choi Su-chang: Ready!]
“Everyone, at the count of three, drop all of the Kraken’s legs!”
“What? No, how do we drop all of those…….”
“One!”
“Damn it! Everyone focus! You haven’t all been slacking off until now! Let’s do something!”
“Two!”
“Yeah, what can’t we do after coming this far? Let’s do it!”
“Three!”
“Let’s goooo!”
Kwaaaang-!!
Various attacks unfolded on the ship.
Go Chang-seok’s hammer created a rough wind pressure, and Park Jung-pil’s various tools soared. The cannons spewed fire in an instant, and the guild members borrowed the power of the constellations they had each contracted with, as well as revealing their own accumulated capabilities to the fullest.
“I-it’s falling!”
“We succeeded!”
Was it thanks to that?
They had difficulty dropping even one leg until now, but when they unfolded their full power and launched an attack, the Kraken’s legs fell off the ship as if by a lie.
– The force, ‘Solomon’s Demons,’ supports you along with ‘Donkey-Headed Rip-off.’
– The constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Rip-off,’ chuckles, saying that he can’t watch such an interesting sight for free.
It seems that the 72 Demon Kings helped.
They were friendly to the Diablo Guild from the beginning, and even declared their support when the Diablo Clan became a guild.
[Jeong Seun: Now!]
[Choi Su-chang: I understand!]
– Player Choi Su-chang uses ‘The Great Sea of Morning.’
Bulge-
Along with Choi Su-chang’s answer, the sea above the spot where the Kraken was hiding bulged out.
Something rose like the sun rising above the horizon early in the morning.
“Gyarururururuk-!”
The identity was the Kraken.
The monster of the great sea, easily surpassing the size of the ship, revealed its appearance. However, it was tightly holding onto the bulging sea as if not to be defeated.
Choi Su-chang was also sweating profusely, saying that he couldn’t do any more than this.
“Yoo Seo-ah!”
“Yes!”
Thwack!
Yoo Seo-ah ran on the sea that Choi Su-chang had inflated and reached the top of the Kraken’s head, stabbing her twin swords into it.
The divinity-imbued fangs of the tarantula were used, and Baal’s poison seeped into the Kraken’s head.
Along with that, her potential was used.
– Player Yoo Seo-ah dominates ‘Kraken.’
The reason why she went all the way to the head, injected Baal’s poison, and used her potential?
It’s simple.
She tried using domination on the Kraken’s legs while protecting the ship, but the effect was weak. At best, holding one leg for a very short time was of no help.
However, what if you use domination on a head weakened by poison?
The result was different from before.
The giant Kraken momentarily succumbed to Yoo Seo-ah’s command and shrank its legs.
“Kang Han-cheol!”
“I’ve been waiting.”
Kang Han-cheol jumped up from his seat.
The piranha zombies that were supporting him from below burst out because they couldn’t withstand it.
Even though the support disappeared, Kang Han-cheol did not look down and firmly raised his fist.
– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Collision.’
Kwaaaang-!!!
“Gyaraarararak-!”
Uppercut.
The Kraken’s torso, which touched his fist, was lifted upwards as if by a lie.
Truly tremendous power.
At that moment, Yoo Seo-ah, who had completed her mission, pulled out her sword and moved away before Seun’s instructions came out.
That moment.
– The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.
[ Lightning of Punishment, Astrape ]
– The main weapon of ‘Olympus’ Chief God, Zeus,’ said to have been made by the first Cyclops forging lightning to repay his gratitude.
Pajik!
Yellow lightning emanated from Seun’s hand.
