Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 295

“Seun!”

As soon as the battle ended, Yoo Seo-ah rushed over.

There was still some time left until her sparring match, but she must have rushed over after hearing the commotion.

“Are you okay? What on earth…….”

“It’s nothing.”

“Nothing, you say!”

Looking around, Yoo Seo-ah’s reaction was understandable.

Trees were torn to shreds as if a giant monster had swung its claws, and there were several craters in the ground.

And then there was the headless corpse lying on the ground, wearing a robe with the black wing emblem of the Black Wing Guild.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Ensnaring Jealousy,’ expresses gratitude to you.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Ensnaring Jealousy,’ worries about your condition, advising you not to overdo it.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Ensnaring Jealousy,’ repeats that, seeing your actions, it seems necessary to visit the Sleepyhead soon.

Sleepyhead.

It was a title I was hearing for the first time, but there was only one person she would call Sleepyhead.

‘The Demon God of Sloth, Belphegor.’

When Seun challenged the 15th floor of the Tower, he was attacked by Pan, the God of Animal Husbandry.

This was partly due to the Tower’s negligence, so Seun was able to hear about the location of a Demon God as compensation from the administrator.

What he learned then was the location of the Demon God of Sloth, Belphegor.

‘Certainly, they said it was on the 45th floor.’

Thanks to Tuning providing quite detailed information, there was little chance of getting lost.

However, knowing the way didn’t make it easy to find him.

Belphegor’s location wasn’t an ordinary trial site, but a hidden place within a hidden place.

It was a place that could only be accessed through hidden methods in a hidden space that I couldn’t even find with the ‘Journey’s Guide’ before my regression.

‘There’s no reason to ignore it.’

Seun is planning to visit the Demon God this time as well.

He needs to go and somehow secure cooperation and receive authority [divine power or influence].

This could serve as insurance not only for an immediate increase in combat power but also in the upcoming God-Demon War.

“Who are they?”

“The Black Wing Guild. You’ll probably run into them again in the future.”

“Enemies, then.”

“That’s right.”

Seun told her about the Black Wing Guild.

Without mentioning the contract with Leviathan, he explained the harm they were causing within the Tower.

In fact, even if it wasn’t Seun, all players would eventually hear or experience the misdeeds of the Black Wing Guild while climbing the Tower, so it was natural to think of them as enemies.

After finishing the explanation, Seun immediately got to the point.

“I’m leaving Zeheton in a week.”

“Finally, the time has come.”

The training is over, and I’ve earned enough contribution points.

“We’ll depart from here at noon in a week.”

“I’ll make sure to announce it.”

Since it was determined that there was nothing more to gain in Zeheton, there was no reason to stay any longer.

* * *

“I’ll ask one last time. Are you really going to leave?”

“Yes.”

“If it’s you, Jeong Seun, you could accumulate much greater wealth. You could even enter the council and build honor, not to mention wealth.”

Lauren tried to persuade Seun with a firm expression.

To think she would react like this even when I said I would sell the magic shop, which could be called a goose that lays golden eggs [a business that generates a lot of profit].

She was thinking of Seun more than I thought.

“From the start, this place was just a stepping stone. I have a separate goal.”

“……I see.”

Even though the income has decreased a lot, Seun’s magic shop was still among the biggest in sales in Zeheton.

The hired magicians were doing their part sufficiently, so frankly, it was a structure where money was made even if Seun just kept it.

In fact, it was difficult to find equipment that could engrave high-circle magic here, and there were few players who could purchase equipment with high-circle magic engraved on it.

“If you’re thinking of me, you should give me a better price.”

“This is the maximum. It’s the maximum value derived by comprehensively considering the past trends, the rate of sales decline if you weren’t here, and the potential for future growth.”

She had been thinking of Seun until just now, but as soon as money came up, her words became cold.

Seeing this, she is indeed a merchant.

Even so, it wasn’t that she had no affection.

The fact that she immediately offered the maximum amount she could without negotiating the price as a merchant was already the greatest consideration from her perspective.

“Thank you.”

“We are the ones who are grateful. Thanks to you, we became the leading merchant group in Zeheton.”

The deal with Lauren was over.

Thanks to the store’s net profit earned so far and reselling the store, which I had bought whole in the middle, at several times the price, the contribution points currently in Seun’s possession are…

[ 148,020,000point ]

Nearly 150 million.

It was an amount close to impossible for an individual to earn.

I still wanted to fill it up to 150 million; the empty space is a bit disappointing.

‘Well, it’ll be over by the time I arrive at the sixth rest area.’

It’s definitely possible, even if I only earn 200,000 points per floor.

It would have been an arrogant assumption if it were another player, but it was a plausible assumption given Seun’s actions so far.

“If you ever have a chance to visit Zeheton again…… please be sure to come and find me.”

“I will.”

After finishing the transaction, I left the store.

Since it was the last day in Zeheton, I didn’t take a carriage and calmly walked around, looking around.

‘Is that the store where Kim Mi-jeong worked?’

Just a while ago, when I entered Zeheton, there was a long line in front of the store, which had been empty.

Players and residents alike were laughing and chatting, anticipating the food.

In the distance, the only 10-story building in Zeheton stood tall.

The twin sisters said they would build the tallest and most stylish building in Zeheton, so that must be it.

‘It’s strangely rewarding.’

I had only stayed for a few months at most, but it seemed like the touch of the Diablo Guild could be seen everywhere in Zeheton.

Most of all, what had changed was that the wall between the residents and the players had collapsed.

It was an amazing development considering that the residents originally distanced themselves from the players as outsiders, and the players also had an atmosphere of ignoring the residents.

“Hyungnim [term for older brother or respected male figure], have you arrived!”

As soon as I arrived at the site, Park Jeong-pil greeted Seun.

All the guild members had already arrived at the site, and everyone’s appearance had changed quite a bit.

It was the result of each person preparing equipment and consumables in preparation for the next trial.

Of course, most of them were equipment made by Go Chang-seok with Seun’s magic engraved on them.

“Ah, you’ve come!”

As if reading Seun’s thoughts, Go Chang-seok approached.

And held out the spear.

It was a weapon that had been entrusted to Go Chang-seok because it had been strained by using God-level power in succession with the Authority of Greed.

“It was quite difficult to repair.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Haha, what hard work. Actually, it’s such an excellent weapon that there wasn’t much to do. Rather, I was able to gain enlightenment thanks to it.”

– The Constellation, ‘Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown,’ is confident that if it were their contractor, they could quickly reach that level.

Seun swung the Apelion he received.

Even when revealing the stigmata [a mark of divine favor or power] and injecting divinity, instead of trembling, it scattered a subtle light, and as Go Chang-seok said, it seemed that the condition had returned to normal.

Thinking that I should practice swordsmanship, which I couldn’t do in Zeheton, when I visit the residence next time, I hung Apelion on my back.

“How were the research results?”

“Haha, it’s still a bit unstable, but there were results. If we enter the same trial, I’ll be sure to show you.”

– The Constellation, ‘Death Trampling Steed,’ snorts and is satisfied with the research results.

Baekhyun had been immersed in research ever since arriving in Zeheton.

Moreover, after learning about the meteor-embedded Outers he encountered in the experimental zone, his research accelerated as he acquired additional meteor fragments or Outers.

Recently, Seun had been unable to help with the research due to training, so I was curious about what results he had seen.

“Seun, you’re here?”

“Is everyone ready?”

“Everyone’s finished. Shall we depart right away?”

“Yes. There’s no reason to delay.”

“Yes!”

Yoo Seo-ah climbed onto the rock that Kang Han-cheol had stuck in the center of the site.

Unlike before, as soon as she climbed up, the guild members who had been chattering loudly shut their mouths as if by magic and focused on her.

It meant that Yoo Seo-ah’s leadership had been recognized.

“As you all have heard, the next floor is a maze.”

From Zeheton onwards, quite a few players who knew the value of their lives bought return tickets.

If they judged that further progress was impossible, they would return to the rest area to share information and reorganize.

Even if Seun didn’t tell them, they were already finding out information from those players.

“Everyone has the tools that Seun supplied, right? You’ve also packed enough preserved food. However, there’s a limit to preserved food, so if possible, eat the monsters in the maze…….”

In case there were players who hadn’t heard the information, Yoo Seo-ah began to list the information she knew.

Even the players who already knew didn’t pretend not to listen and focused on her words.

Even though they had been living peacefully in Zeheton, the trials were truly at the crossroads of life and death.

Even if you are confident in your skills, you might lose your life in a moment of carelessness.

“Even though we’re entering together, the arrival locations are said to be random. The structure continues to change, and the size is larger than Zeheton, so it’s nearly impossible to accompany even the same guild.”

Until now, the trials had allowed cooperation when entering in clan or guild units.

Individual trials were unavoidable, but in cooperative trials, they were able to overcome the trials quickly with Seun’s help.

However, from now on, it’s different.

The maze trial is clearly taking place in the same map, but cooperation was nearly impossible.

“Lastly, let’s listen to Seun’s words of encouragement and depart!”

“No…….”

Yoo Seo-ah suddenly passed the microphone to Seun.

Seun was flustered by the unexpected situation, but Yoo Seo-ah winked and stepped away from her seat.

In the past, Seun would not have done this even if it was difficult, but this is confusing whether it is good or bad.

Seun, who let out a small sigh, grabbed the microphone.

There was no need to say much anyway. Seun believed in the Diablo Guild.

Everyone will be able to overcome the trials without Seun’s help.

Seun just needs to reveal that heart.

“I believe everyone can do it.”

The word ‘belief’ that came out of Seun’s mouth was enough to give confidence to the people who were feeling impatient as they watched Seun, who was inwardly moving too far ahead.

Soon, along with the loud cheers that followed.

– Welcome to the 41st floor trial.

– Theme: Labyrinth of Earth

– You have entered the ‘Maze of Myriad Paths,’ which was once called a legend.

– Explore the maze and find the entrance to the next maze.

The Diablo Guild has entered the 41st floor trial, the Labyrinth of Earth.
