Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 270

“Why the hell did the monitor cut off!”

“T, the Black Sea is beyond our jurisdiction!”

“That’s absurd!”

“Tuning, calm down. He’s right. After the Estrotsha rebellion, the Sea of Radiance, now the Black Sea, has been beyond our control.”

“Unbelievable!”

Tuning despaired.

Of all times, the monitoring had to fail now.

The Black Sea.

Even though Se-un entered it willingly, the timing was terrible.

His investigation into Triton’s trail led him to this very Black Sea.

He rushed here as soon as he found out… but Se-un had already entered the Black Sea.

“Triton will try to kill Player Jung Se-un! That’s a clear violation of the Tower’s rules!”

“But there’s no way to monitor it.”

“I’ll go there myself! As soon as I confirm the violation on-site, I’ll sanction it…”

Tap.

The manager’s hand rested on Tuning’s shoulder.

Only then could Tuning calm down.

Going to the site to find a violation of the rules.

Even before the Constellation’s violation, it was a violation for a manager, even a dedicated one, to interfere in a trial for a player.

“I don’t know why you’re so attached to that player… but I don’t intend to neglect my role as manager either.”

“……Thank you.”

“For now, I’ll send a few familiars in addition to the designated monitor. I don’t know if it will work.”

The management office’s main job was to manage the Tower’s trials and monitor the players’ actions. Deviating from those established rules was a violation, no matter the reason.

Tuning bit his lip, realizing that monitoring was impossible through any means.

Before, he thought that managers were as omnipotent as Constellations, watching players running around inside the monitor, but that wasn’t the case at all.

All a manager could do was watch the monitor silently.

But now, he couldn’t even do that.

What should he do to get involved beyond that?

There was only one answer.

‘Promotion.’

Tuning’s current position as a special manager was, in terms of rank, on par with the head of the management office.

He had even spoken with the higher-ups of the Tower recently.

But that wasn’t enough. To gain more power, he had to climb to a higher position.

To do that, Se-un had to survive.

At that moment.

“Oh? Th, the monitor is on!”

“What? How….”

“The Black Sea… is being purified!”

The screen slowly brightened.

Light was seeping into the pitch-black Black Sea.

It was regaining the beautiful light of the Sea of Radiance, which only the head of the office remembered.

“Se, Se-un! Where is Player Jung Se-un?”

Tuning frantically looked around the Black Sea monitor.

Finding him was easy.

Deepest part of the Black Sea.

Inside the monitor, Se-un was standing in front of Leviathan in that deep sea, beautifully spread around the bones of the White Whale.

“……He seems safe.”

“Triton… where’s Triton?”

“Huh? That’s strange. Triton’s star isn’t detected.”

“……Could it be?”

A smile spread across Tuning’s face, which had been full of frustration.

Everyone was denying it, saying it was impossible, but he could tell. Triton had ultimately failed his mission and fallen.

“Olympus will probably contact us soon.”

“Wh, what should we do then?”

“It’s simple.”

Tuning recalled the first contact he had received and uttered the next words.

“Reply that we cannot disclose the personal information of a Constellation who is not affiliated with Olympus.”

* * *

While the Black Sea was being purified, Se-un’s first action was to use the Authority of Gluttony on Triton, who was sinking to the bottom of the Black Sea along with the other corpses.

It wouldn’t make a big difference, but there was no need to reveal the fact that he had killed Triton.

So, he had to eliminate Triton before the management office’s surveillance was restored.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ closes his mouth, startled by the prey that enters his mouth as soon as communication is restored.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is impressed by the taste of the prey and asks what it is.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is delighted, saying it’s the best fish he’s ever eaten.

Without Se-un needing to urge him, Beelzebub devoured Triton in an instant. Without leaving a single drop of divine blood scattered in the Sea of Radiance.

It was an amazing ability, no matter how many times he saw it.

– ‘God of the Sea, Triton’ has been devoured.

– Absorbing nutrients increases all stats by 10.

– Absorbing nutrients greatly increases water affinity.

…….

A total of 40 stats increased, but this was only a small part.

Not only did water-related abilities such as water affinity and resistance greatly improve, but more importantly, divinity filled up.

The Stigmata scattered red light as if delighted.

As much as he devoured a god, the amount of divinity was incomparably greater than when he acquired divinity as a savior in the trial.

‘It’s still difficult to properly use the power of destruction….’

To feel it, has the total amount of divinity roughly doubled?

It was an enormous figure, but even so, he could only summon the wolf he used against Triton and give it at most 8-9 commands.

For the future of facing numerous Constellations, it was necessary to quickly increase the total amount of divinity and freely control its power.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows His Head,’ is greatly saddened to see the Essence of Radiance being used.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows His Head,’ nods, saying that the beauty of the Sea of Radiance is still worth seeing.

Woo-oong-

A vast energy rippled near the head of the White Whale.

Leviathan’s enormous power tore through dimensions and connected to the outside of the Tower.

This was normally impossible, but it seemed that he had temporarily connected the dimensions through the Essence of Radiance.

Into that.

“Wh, where is this!”

“The Sea of Radiance!”

“It’s exactly as my mother described……”

“To think that the sea was such a beautiful place……”

The merfolk who had been staying in the deep sea of the tutorial appeared.

If it were another Constellation, they would have been busy filling their own power, but instead, Leviathan focused on restoring the merfolk’s home.

Among them was Shax, the leader of the merfolk, who had exchanged quite a few words with Se-un.

As soon as he saw Se-un, he knelt down on one knee.

Soon after, he lowered his head and opened his mouth.

“Thank you… thank you so much. To keep your promise so quickly!”

Seeing Shax’s reaction, the other merfolk also bowed their heads to Se-un.

Leviathan smiled and watched the scene.

Returning the merfolk to their original home. That was not only what the merfolk wanted, but also what Leviathan had hoped for.

“It’s okay. Then, I’ll be on my way.”

The goal he had intended to achieve in the Black Sea was over.

It was eventful, but as a result, the Authority of Jealousy was strengthened, Leviathan regained his power, and he even absorbed a vast amount of divinity through Triton.

Even if the reason is not revealed, Olympus will suspect Se-un and increase their hostility, but that is a problem to worry about later.

‘It’s different from before.’

At first, he didn’t think he could grow this much.

He was just trying to somehow grow, interfere with the Constellations, and quell the discord to cut off the seeds of the Divine-Demonic War.

But now, it’s different.

‘It’s enough if I become strong.’

At the current rate of growth, becoming a Tower Ranker is only a matter of time. No, he might even reach the realm of transcendence beyond that.

In that case, it becomes possible to interfere with not only the players but also the Constellations.

There’s no need to bother coaxing the Constellations, he can just persuade them with force.

That was a much easier, more direct, and sure way.

“Please wait a moment!”

Before Se-un left, Shax called out to Se-un, who turned around.

Leviathan’s body, which had been maintained by the power of the orb and essence, was gradually fading.

Leviathan smiled and nodded, seeing Shax’s serious eyes.

“Do as you wish. My child.”

“Thank you.”

Shax rose from his seat. The other merfolk also moved with Shax instead of consolidating their settlement.

“Please allow us to guide you at least to the destination of this sea.”

* * *

At that time, the Diablo Guild was crossing the 40th floor around the Black Sea according to Se-un’s instructions.

However, it was not the endlessly peaceful and boring voyage it had been at first.

“Fire the cannons!”

Kugung!

“Hold on while we reload!”

“New monsters appearing on the starboard side! We need some troop support!”

“We don’t have the capacity to support you! There are dozens of monsters clinging to this wall right now!”

“Han-cheol!”

“Got it.”

How many hours have they been fighting already?

It would be better if the monster hordes rushed in at once like other trials, so they could at least launch a wide-area attack, but this place was not like that.

Only monsters that were just annoying enough kept clinging to them. As if they wouldn’t give them any time to rest.

Thanks to that, dark circles were deeply etched on the faces of all the Diablo Guild members.

“Damn it, let’s take a break!”

“Monsters appearing in front!”

“Aaaaargh!”

The problem didn’t end there.

“Th, the cannonballs are all gone!”

Due to repeated battles, a considerable amount of consumables such as cannonballs had run out.

One of the reasons they had been able to hold out so far was thanks to the cannons that Se-un had made with enchantments…….

As the firepower decreased, it was bound to become more difficult to hold out.

“This won’t work! We’ll have to go around, even if it takes a little longer!”

Although it wasn’t certain, the time when the monsters started to increase was after they started circling around the Black Sea.

Even though it was the closest shortcut, it was dangerous to continue like this without knowing how far the destination was.

For the safety of the guild members, Yoo Seo-ah chose to detour.

But.

“Mo, monster swarm appearing on the port side! The number is quite large!”

“Of all times……. Let’s pull back for now! We need to avoid fighting right now, even if it’s just for a break!”

“Monsters are swarming from behind! It seems they smelled the blood and gathered!”

The Black Sea on the right, and monster swarms on the left and behind.

They had no choice but to move forward.

For some reason, the darkness of the Black Sea seemed to have faded a little, but they couldn’t gamble on that.

“There’s no choice! Everyone, let’s suffer a little more! Let’s break through!”

There was no choice.

The rowers desperately rowed below, and the others removed the monsters above.

As the consumables ran out, the speed of killing the monsters slowed down, and as the monsters smelled the blood and gathered, the number of monsters around the ship gradually increased.

“Sister, what should we do?”

“I think we should force our way out, not forward, even if it’s too much…….”

“I’ll break through somehow! Let’s get out of here for now!”

People who felt a sense of crisis offered their opinions one by one.

They wanted to stick to the Black Sea as much as possible in case Se-un returned, but it was impossible to continue like this.

Even if there were monsters, they had to break through to the left rather than continue like this.

As Yoo Seo-ah made up her mind and raised her twin swords.

– According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Giga Lightning’ is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Violet Tower, the casting speed of ‘Giga Lightning’ is accelerated.

– According to the mysteries of the Red Tower, the range of ‘Giga Lightning’ is expanded.

Kwarrrr-!!

Lightning flashed from the back of the ship and struck the sea.

The monsters, helpless against the sudden lightning, trembled with electric shock and exposed their bellies.

Since it was a magic they had seen several times, everyone quickly recognized who the owner of the lightning was.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“We will escort you from here.”

Shax appeared with Se-un. The merfolk army that appeared behind him began to annihilate the monsters that were attacking the ship.
