Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 331

Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 335

Chapter 335

Three days had passed since they settled into their new residence.

Se-un needed complete rest. Recovering his spiritual fatigue and divinity took considerable time, even without using mana or internal energy.

The others were in similar condition.

The battle against the Black Wings had been more dangerous than any trial they had faced thus far.

Many were injured, some severely, keeping Lee Ha-neul extremely busy.

In fact, without her skills, treating all the guild members in just three days would have been impossible.

– The Constellation, ‘Bloodstained Lion,’ nods silently.

‘Her performance in battle was also amazing.’

The Desire of the Bloodsucking Tree.

Thanks to the staff she obtained on the 45th floor, both her healing abilities and combat power had improved remarkably.

While Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah made the most direct contributions, she inflicted the most overall damage.

The power of her wide-area skills was immense.

She might be weak in one-on-one combat, but her power grew exponentially with the scale of the battlefield.

“Hyungnim, Hyungnim! Lilac is incredible! Wow, the underground gambling scene in Jeheton? It doesn’t even compare! And the pubs are so…”

“I told you not to leave the residence until everything is ready.”

“Hehe, isn’t it for information gathering? I scouted ahead for my ailing Hyungnim!”

“So, what information did you gather?”

“The best pubs and black markets in Lilac, gambling methods, auction houses… I’ve learned all the important things!”

Judging by his words, he seemed to have grasped most of the key elements of Lilac.

Of course, I initially thought he just went out to drink and gamble.

Se-un was slightly surprised by the more substantial information than he expected.

If I hadn’t seen him staggering back the day before with a flushed face, I would have praised him without reservation.

“Se-un, everyone’s here.”

“Okay.”

From the sixth shelter onward, security wasn’t as tight as in Jeheton.

There were many things to be aware of, so some information needed to be shared.

Before that.

“Park Jung-pil, explain.”

“Yep? Me?”

“Skip the nonsense and just explain the information you found out.”

“Hehet, then first, let me regale you with the heroic tale I created at the Cosmos Pub…”

“If you spout useless nonsense, you’ll get a lesson from me before we leave, so keep that in mind.”

“…Alright, everyone, focus! Your Hyungnim’s right-hand man, Park Jung-pil, will now provide a detailed explanation of Lilac!”

Initially, I planned to simply tell them the precautions and let them figure things out on their own, but thanks to Park Jung-pil, I could convey various information more naturally.

Like Se-un, the other guild members were quite surprised by Park Jung-pil’s information.

Not many realized he was more useful than they thought.

“That’s all! This has been your Hyungnim’s right-hand man, Park Jung-pil…”

“Good job. Get out.”

“Keuk.”

I sent Park Jung-pil, who was about to spout more nonsense after his surprisingly competent explanation, back to his corner.

He’s the type who always adds one word too many and becomes annoying.

“As you’ve heard, Lilac City is a place where anything can happen, unlike the shelters we’ve been to so far. This remains true even with the hostile force, the Black Wings, gone.”

There would be no more stealing of contribution points, but many would still kidnap solo players and force them to pay up.

Robbing equipment and contribution points was also common.

Therefore, the most important thing in Lilac is power.

For example, a strong guild.

No one would dare mess with a player wearing a strong and famous guild’s emblem.

“Within Lilac, please travel in groups of two or more.”

The Diablo Guild had also commissioned Go Chang-seok to engrave the Diablo Guild’s symbol on their equipment.

Not only on their usual gear but even on their casual clothes.

Most of the colors were coordinated, making them easily recognizable.

However, there was one problem.

The Diablo Guild’s reputation hadn’t yet spread in Lilac.

Even with a guild symbol, it meant nothing if the guild’s power wasn’t proven.

“If someone picks a fight, or if there’s someone you don’t like…”

Therefore.

“Crush them.”

It’s better to nip things in the bud to prevent future trouble.

Of course, I’m not telling you to attack players for no reason.

The Diablo Guild’s current alignment is ‘Savior of Destruction’.

If we acted recklessly, our alignment might change.

There were many advantages to being a savior, so I had no intention of changing our alignment here.

“If a battle is about to break out, report it to the guild chat immediately, and above all…”

Se-un looked around.

Most were surprised by the order to fight rather than avoid battle, but a few, including Kang Han-cheol, looked expectant.

If I told them this, they would confidently straighten their shoulders and walk the streets of Lilac, waiting for someone to start something.

“Win.”

Confidence filled the eyes of the Diablo Guild.

* * *

“I thought you would go with Seo-ah. I didn’t expect you to choose me.”

“There will be many things Baek-hyun wants at the auction house. In fact, the only things Baek-hyun might be interested in Lilac are at the auction house.”

“Oh, I’m looking forward to it. I was hoping there would be a new medium or catalyst [a substance that speeds up a reaction].”

– The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling Death,’ is looking forward to seeing a human auction house for the first time and wonders what kind of materials will appear.

As mentioned earlier, the Diablo Guild decided to act in pairs. This applied to Se-un as well.

Se-un’s first destination was the auction house, so he chose Baek-hyun as his partner, figuring he’d find the most to buy there.

Yoo Seo-ah was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could acquire at the auction house right now.

“Hey, fellas, why don’t you have a drink here? We’ll give you plenty of service.”

“S, matches for sale… Please buy just one pack…”

“What guild is that? I’ve never seen that guild mark before, but their equipment is very flashy.”

As soon as we entered Lilac, all sorts of people started approaching us.

Solicitations for pubs, old grudges, scout offers, etc.

It was a surprisingly chaotic place compared to our time in Jeheton.

“Lilac City… Isn’t it ironic?”

“What do you mean?”

“The flower language of lilac means first love or friendship. To name this city Lilac… I just think it’s too contradictory.”

I wasn’t interested in flower language, but after hearing Baek-hyun’s words, it certainly seemed odd.

Even in the alleys, there are plenty of red-light districts, and betrayal is rampant even among friends, making first love and friendship hard to find even with a magnifying glass.

“Rather, Black Rose, which means death or farewell, or Groxinicia [Gloxinia], which means desire, would be more fitting.”

Could it be that Lilac City was originally a bright and friendly place?

Se-un had no interest in the history of Lilac, so he could only nod silently.

Death, farewell, desire.

These were names that suited this city much better than Lilac.

“Then what about the flower language of acacia?”

“That was the name of the auction house. Acacia… Certainly, it has meanings such as elegance or love that transcends death. Maternal love, too.”

“That doesn’t fit either.”

“Haha, it’s one of two things. This city was originally a beautiful city that matched the name of Lilac, or the person who founded the city was a liar.”

After that, many people spoke to us.

However, the two of them had no interest in alcohol or gambling, so they headed straight for the auction house.

‘No, gambling is a little different.’

The casino, arguably the main attraction of Lilac.

I can’t say I have no interest in gambling, as I plan to visit as soon as I’m done looking around the auction house.

As I walked towards the huge casino building, the surroundings grew darker. I had strayed from the main road and entered an alley while looking for a shortcut.

At that moment.

“Hey guys, we have customers.”

“Oh, looking at their faces, they’re definitely newbies. Looks like it’s their first time in Lilac, so they have to pay the toll to pass through.”

“What guild is that? Does anyone know them?”

“No, I’ve never seen them before.”

“Their equipment is good. It’s worth it just to take their equipment.”

As if they had been waiting, some thugs appeared and spoke in a swaggering manner.

They were clearly extorting money from players who had just entered the sixth shelter.

I could feel presences behind me, so it seemed they had formed an encirclement.

There were about 20 of them.

Still, they were quite well-equipped for third-rate villains.

“Se-un, what are you going to do?”

“Didn’t I explain it earlier?”

“Then I…”

“Ah, I’ll take care of it quickly.”

Se-un raised his hand.

As he rotated his palm, the surrounding mana rushed towards it.

Baek-hyun, realizing what Se-un was about to do, quietly took a step back and prepared to defend.

“He’s a mage! Shoot!”

Peeing!

They recognized the use of magic, being players who had made it to the sixth shelter.

As soon as the order from the apparent leader was given, arrows rained down from all directions, but the wall of bones that sprang up around Se-un blocked them all.

Wide Shield magic had already been cast, so the arrows wouldn’t have worked anyway, but Baek-hyun seemed to have helped out as a courtesy.

“Necromancer? What are you all doing! Hit them before the magic is used! They’re both mages, so if we just rush them…”

The man’s words were cut short.

The mana gathered in front of Se-un’s palm compressed the air to an extreme degree.

The vibration magic he used to attack Zailen, the head of the Black Wings’ Lilac branch.

However, he had narrowed the range to concentrate the attack on Zailen back then, but this time, he spread it widely in all directions.

This would reduce the power, but against this level of opponent, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it even with the reduced power.

– According to the mysteries of the Green Tower, the speed of ‘Sonic Vibration’ increases.

– According to the mysteries of the Azure Tower, the casting speed of ‘Sonic Vibration’ increases.

– According to the mysteries of the Red Tower, the range of ‘Sonic Vibration’ expands.

The vibrations of the extremely compressed sound waves spread in all directions.

Baek-hyun was also within the range of the magic, but he absorbed and blocked the vibrations by erecting walls of flesh in all directions.

Of course, everyone except Baek-hyun couldn’t resist this powerful 7-circle magic.

“Keuheoeok!”

“Kaaaak!”

The skin trembled, and the internal organs shook. Blood heated up, and blood flowed from their eyes and ears.

I adjusted the intensity so they wouldn’t die, but even considering they were players, it would probably take at least a week for them to recover fully.

To be honest, I had no intention of letting them live, but to protect the Diablo Guild’s alignment, ‘Savior of Destruction,’ I didn’t want to kill them unnecessarily.

“Keoeok…”

All the thugs who had surrounded Se-un and Baek-hyun fell to the ground, bleeding.

The man who seemed to be the leader still had some energy left to twitch, perhaps because he had a little more stamina than the others.

Se-un approached him and gently stepped on his head.

– The stigmata reacts to the legend of the Blood Wolf.

– The first ability of the stigmata, ‘Fear,’ awakens.

The first ability of the stigmata, Fear, combined with the power of Turik, the spirit of fear.

The man being stepped on by Se-un was seized by a fear so strong that he forgot the pain of his broken body.

Not only did his pants instantly become wet, but his body trembled as much as the Sonic Vibration magic had made it.

“I won’t kill you.”

Se-un’s voice echoed in the head of the man seized by fear.

It was as if Se-un and he were the only ones in the world.
