Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 327

331

“Baekhyun, please take care of the traps.”

“You don’t have to worry.”

“Kang Han-cheol, you…….”

“I know.”

As expected, the Diablo Guild, upon settling into the residence, immediately began preparations to welcome the Black Wings.

Having arrived at the residence less than a day ago, the surroundings were already being fortified.

This was possible because it was an outer area away from Lilac City.

While watching the nearly completed work, Yoo Seo-ah, who was directing the work, approached Se-un and spoke.

“Do you really think they’ll come?”

“They’ll come.”

“If they’re targeting us, they’ll know we’re preparing traps… Wouldn’t they rather target us when we enter the city?”

“Usually, yes, but…….”

The Black Wings Guild operates under a strict top-down command system, and the Lilac branch is among the weakest.

As such, the responsibility for making mistakes while carrying out tasks is significant.

If the matter is serious, they might even eliminate the Lilac branch.

Being such a guild, they would want to make up for their mistakes before they are discovered, fearing the reaction from above.

“They’re probably in a hurry. Too much to wait for us to enter the city.”

Making up for the mistake is simple.

Erasing Se-un’s existence.

There would be many problems since they were ordered to monitor Se-un, but it would be better than failing to even follow the simple instruction of monitoring and reporting that they were caught off guard.

“Still, the traps…….”

“They’re not the type to care about traps.”

Although not in detail, he knew a little about the unique power of ‘Corruption’ used by the Black Wings Guild.

It can not only break magic circles but also taint the area itself.

Therefore, traps are almost meaningless to them.

Rather, he could clearly picture them knowing that Se-un was preparing traps and laughing as they stormed in here.

In that sense, Se-un was also not wasting mana by pointlessly setting up magic circles.

“But you’re still preparing traps, aren’t you? If they’re useless, why…….”

“It’s different.”

“Yes?”

“The traps we’re preparing now are different from the traps they’re thinking of.”

The sun sets halfway, and the sky turns red.

Everyone in the Diablo Guild had been busy preparing traps as soon as they arrived at the shelter, so they were about to enter the residence after finishing their work.

And at that moment, as if not giving them any time to rest.

KWA-AAAAANG-!!

“They’re here.”

The anomaly occurred at the edge of the site.

* * *

Lilac City’s outskirts, a desolate site untouched by people.

Too far from the city to be a guild building, and not cheap enough to attract players, those wearing robes with black wing emblems appeared.

Even though they were just walking calmly without doing anything, a red aura seemed to ripple behind them.

“Is this the place?”

“Kumen, step forward.”

“Understood.”

The one called Kumen stepped forward.

The cloak fluttered, and black, wide wings unfolded, trembling and shedding feathers.

Soon after, he folded his wings and shook his head.

“There are no magic circles.”

“Strange. The player named Jeong Se-un is said to be skilled in magic, so I thought he would definitely set up magic circles and wait.”

The two Black Wings, who were behind him, revealing sharp wings and preparing to break through magic circles, folded their wings.

Then, the one next to him, unlike the one called Kumen, revealed slightly blunt wings and knelt on all fours.

The wings flared like a nose, probing the surroundings, but the result was the same.

“There are no ambushes either.”

“Is this really the right place?”

“It’s certain. After entering the residence, there was interference with surveillance, so I couldn’t watch, but it’s certain that they’re staying here.”

“Then it’s one of two things. Either they’re fools who didn’t expect us to come, or they’re fools who are so full of arrogance that they didn’t prepare even though they knew we were coming.”

Having confirmed that there were no traps or ambushes, the Black Wings confidently stepped forward.

The site was so wide that the distance to the residence seemed wider than the Moraf Festival’s Colosseum [a large arena]. Yet, there was no one to be seen.

Some, relieved of tension, were sneering, calling them ‘fools.’

It was then.

Thud!

A blue hand stretched out from under the ground they were walking on.

“It’s an ambush!”

“What are you talking about? We clearly confirmed that there were no life signs!”

“N, no, that’s not it! There are still no life signs being detected!”

“You’re saying that after seeing this!”

Pooh-what!

The hand that came up from the ground was not the end. Dozens of hands rose in succession, aiming for the ankles of the Black Wings.

Of course, everyone was a player who had surpassed level 50, so as soon as they confirmed the existence of the blue hands, they quickly pulled their legs away, but some could not avoid the blue hands.

And finally, the identity of the blue hands was revealed.

“Kheu-uh-uh-.”

“Z, zombies?”

Dozens of zombies emerged from under the ground they were standing on.

Was it a delusion?

The corners of the zombies’ mouths, where reason or expression could not exist, twisted, creating a grotesque smile.

Soon after, their entire bodies swelled taut along with the corners of their mouths, and the moment a chilling voice was heard from somewhere.

“Corpse Explosion-.”

KWA-AAAAANG-!!!

Dozens. No, nearly a hundred zombies exploded simultaneously.

The number was so large that it didn’t just look like zombies exploding, but the entire ground where the zombies were hiding seemed to explode.

Most of the Black Wings were skilled players, so as soon as they saw the zombies swelling, they spread their wings and moved out of range.

However.

“Aaaargh!”

“M, my leg! My leg!”

“Pentil! Heal them quickly!”

“Y, yes!”

Those who had their ankles grabbed by the zombies could not.

They were helplessly trapped in the blast range, suffering fatal injuries or having their grabbed legs blown off.

Even amidst the screams, the Black Wings quickly regained their battle stance. Fortunately, thanks to that, they were able to immediately respond to the subsequent attacks.

“Kheu-uh-.”

“Kheu-uh-uh-.”

“Zombies!”

“There are ghouls too! Each individual doesn’t seem that strong, but the same explosion as before could happen! Be careful!”

“Kumen, Ruen! Find them quickly! There must be a necromancer nearby!”

“Understood!”

Fortunately, the zombies were weak.

Compared to the undead they had faced before, they were much stronger, and there were even strong individuals like ghouls, but for some reason, they were manageable enough.

The zombies were mercilessly cut down each time a sword was swung.

However, the problem arose after that.

Pooh-what!

“Ptooey! What is this!”

“There’s even smoke rising…….”

“I, it’s poison! Everyone be careful! Don’t let blood splatter on your bare skin…….”

“Aaaargh!”

It was too late when those who belatedly realized the danger screamed.

Bubbles were boiling on the bodies of those who had confidently slaughtered the zombies, causing a chemical reaction.

Those with healing abilities desperately tried to use purification magic, but this also did not work properly.

Meanwhile, the Black Wing with wide wings, who had been focusing on detection from behind, raised his head.

“It’s over there! They’re hiding at a distance of about 500m!”

“Damn it, to control this many undead from 500m away?”

“Catch the necromancer quickly! There’s no point in cutting down the zombies!”

Several of the faster ones ignored the zombies and ran towards the direction where the necromancer was. No, they flapped their wings and flew quickly.

500m is nothing; it doesn’t even take 10 seconds.

They cut through the wind, preparing to strike down the approaching necromancer in one blow.

“There he is!”

The opposing necromancer finally began to appear.

Wearing a white gown that didn’t suit a necromancer, it looked like he was posing as a doctor.

No, in this case, the expression mad scientist would be more fitting.

“Kill him!”

In just a few seconds, they could cut off the necromancer’s head and stop the zombies.

Perhaps this was the biggest trick they had prepared.

If they take down that guy, the game will be over.

But why? Even though they were getting closer, they felt like the corners of the necromancer’s mouth were rising.

Trying to hide their anxiety, they flapped their wings and sped up even more.

Thud.

The Black Wing flying in the lead felt like something had caught on his wing. It felt like he had cut a thin line.

It was such a fleeting moment that before he could even figure out what it was, a huge wall of thorns soared up in front of him.

Kwajeek!

All the Black Wings who were flying in could not control their speed and slammed their heads into the wall of thorns.

Of course, no one survived.

The wall of thorns finished its mission and leisurely fell to the ground, leaving behind only a few black feathers.

“It’s caught!”

“It’s a big catch!”

– The constellation, ‘Giant Bird,’ scorns the moths who don’t know their place.

– The constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ praises their contractor.

It wasn’t just here. There were physically created traps all over the residence site.

Several of the Black Wings who were fighting the zombies were also caught in traps, their bodies pierced along with the zombies.

They were familiar with magical traps, but they didn’t know how to deal with these completely physical traps.

That’s because, as the floors went up, most of the traps had magical elements.

There were hardly any cases where such powerful physical traps existed, even in trials.

“Focus! Don’t get caught by such tricks!”

Kwagwagwag!!

One of the Black Wings, who seemed quite strong, flapped his wings, and sharp feathers scattered like hidden weapons in all directions.

With that, zombies fell, and traps were destroyed.

He was trying to conserve his strength until the player Jeong Se-un appeared, but this was not the time.

“First, that necromancer!”

He cleared the surroundings and immediately ran towards the necromancer.

All the traps in front of him had already been cleared. Once he took care of the necromancer, the battle would be much easier.

But there wasn’t just one necromancer there. A man with tremendous muscles was clenching his fists, looking at him.

“I’ll cut you both down at the same time!”

Flying at high speed, he tore off one wing and held it in his hand.

The wing became the shape of a giant greatsword, and he wrapped his body in one wing, rotating like a drill and extending his weapon.

His confident, critical strike.

An attack that he was confident could kill even a player from the Seventh Shelter in one blow, and the man next to the necromancer raised his fist.

And.

– Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Crush(擊破) [Gyeokpa in Korean, meaning to destroy or break through].’

Ppeo-uck!!

Kudangtangtang!

The flying Black Wing rolled across the floor with the same momentum as he had been rotating.

He rolled across the floor so much that his wing was broken, and the joints of his entire body were twisted grotesquely.

He wasn’t killed in one blow, but his condition looked serious, as if he would die at any moment.

With that roar as a signal flare.

– Player Lee Haneul uses ‘Blood-Soaked Ward.’

– Player Kim Mi-jeong uses ‘Blue Star’s Side Dish.’

– Player Choi Su-chang uses ‘Tidal Wave of Dawn.’

Kwagwagwag-!!

The full-scale battle between the Diablo Guild and the Black Wings Guild began.
