I Plundered the Demon God’s Treasury – Episode 339
Chapter 339
This proposal wasn’t just for Se-un.
Guild versus guild.
In other words, it was a proposal for an alliance between the Diablo Guild and the Valhalla Guild.
‘It’s earlier than I thought… no, that’s even better.’
I considered the advantages of forming an alliance with the Valhalla Guild.
Valhalla is one of the most powerful large guilds, even among those in the Tower.
Forming an alliance with such a guild has various benefits, such as cooperation and information exchange when tackling the Tower’s trials.
However, there was one benefit that was particularly appealing right now.
‘Gaining the reputation of the Valhalla Guild.’
Currently, the Diablo Guild is a new guild with little to no reputation.
Of course, they’ve been building a small amount of fame while climbing the trials, but it’s not enough. Even in Lilac City, there aren’t many players who know about the Diablo Guild, which often leads to troublesome situations.
This was also the reason why Se-un ordered the guild members to confidently crush anyone who picked a fight with them.
‘If we form an alliance with Valhalla, all those annoying things will disappear.’
The Valhalla Guild’s name is famous even in Lilac.
What if we’re a guild allied with such a powerhouse? No matter how large and powerful another guild is, they won’t be able to easily mess with the Diablo Guild.
No matter how I looked at it, this proposal had many advantages.
– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ tells you to do as you please, loses interest, and heads to the warehouse.
– The Constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Jealousy,’ smiles softly, saying that it respects your choice.
I wondered if the Demon Gods would be displeased, but they didn’t seem to care.
Even if I thought about it a little longer, the result would be the same.
Accepting this proposal would bring more gains than losses.
In fact, it was the best proposal with almost no downsides.
“Can I know the details of the alliance conditions?”
“Haha, of course! Secretary, prepare the contract.”
“Understood.”
The rumor of the alliance between the Diablo and Valhalla Guilds spread surprisingly quickly throughout Lilac City.
* * *
“S, save me…….”
Crack.
“Next.”
“We need to go a little deeper for the next one. But, are you really going to be okay?”
Lilac’s back alley.
There was a person who confidently entered the back streets, where all sorts of crimes were taking place, and was throwing punches.
It was Kang Han-cheol.
And Harry Kane was guiding him.
“Didn’t I tell you to crush anyone who picks a fight?”
“It seems to me that we are the ones picking fights and going to find them…….”
“We just went first. They’re the ones who picked the fight first.”
Kang Han-cheol was using Se-un’s words as a justification, but anyone could see that the real reason was just the thrill of fighting.
Think about it.
Who would welcome someone who walks into the back alley and clenches their fists at the gangsters who have settled there?
The name of the Diablo Guild hadn’t spread much yet, so no one cared about the guild mark.
Kang Han-cheol was mercilessly crushing anyone who rushed at him.
“Are you the one! How dare you come into our territory and take down our guys!”
“That’s right.”
“……What, why are you so confident? It doesn’t seem like you’re relying on your guild. Did you come in because you’re confident in your skills?”
Before Harry guided him to the next area, a man with a gruesome scar on his face appeared from the building above.
He was rather taken aback by Kang Han-cheol’s matter-of-fact admission.
However, he sneered at the Diablo guild mark and raised his right hand.
Then.
Shoo-.
Shoo-.
Sharp arrows flew from the surrounding buildings and back alleys.
As soon as Kang Han-cheol heard the sound of the arrows cutting through the wind, he bent his knees and slammed his fist into the ground.
Thud!
The moment his fist hit the ground, stone walls rose around Kang Han-cheol and Harry, blocking the arrows.
A sticky green liquid was flowing down from the stone wall where the arrows had hit.
“It seems to be poison arrows. It might be dangerous to fight with your bare body, so how about fighting with armor on?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll build up resistance if I keep getting hit by poison.”
“That’s too naive of a thought…….”
Crack!
When Harry pointed upwards, a leopard appeared and bit and broke the arrow that was digging into the ceiling, which was not covered by the stone wall.
Taming, a unique skill that Harry had learned through training in the Diablo Guild, regardless of his constellation, Ose.
It was a monster tamed in the 45th floor labyrinth.
– The Constellation, ‘The Leopard with Red Spots,’ shines its eyes, saying that it seems to be a pretty useful guy.
– The Constellation, ‘The Leopard with Red Spots,’ mutters that if it grows a little more, it will be able to inherit its power, even if only slightly.
“I don’t need help.”
“I’m sorry, but it’s Rald’s meal time, so I have to help too.”
“Just don’t get in the way.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Bang!
Kang Han-cheol threw a punch at the stone wall in front of him.
The stone wall was pushed away and flew far away by the fist that was pushed out as if to push it, not break it.
One of the players hiding with the arrows was crushed and rolled on the floor.
“Shoot, shoot! He’s just a nobody anyway. Don’t be intimidated by his size!”
The man who appeared to be the leader kept shouting, but what came back to him was not the faithful answer of his subordinates.
“Krrraang!”
Crack!
“Cough!”
The leopard with red spots, which appeared from somewhere, bit the man’s neck.
The leopard savored it for a moment, then frowned as if it didn’t taste good and spat out the flesh.
Then, the leopard finds new prey.
Even though it wasn’t that big, it was a monster that reigned as the boss monster on the 45th floor that Harry had entered, so its speed and power far exceeded the stats of an ordinary player.
Thud, Thud!
Harry was not idle either.
He began to restrain those who were aiming for the leopard by shooting them with the longbow on his back.
At the same time, Kang Han-cheol ignored the poison arrows and obstacles and began to charge forward, using his shoulder as a battering ram.
Kwaaaang-!!
The back alley was instantly turned into ruins.
It seemed that a few people had escaped, but the goal was to spread the fame of the Diablo Guild anyway.
Of course, this was just an excuse for Kang Han-cheol, but the two were carrying out their given mission more perfectly than anyone else.
“Next.”
“It seems that the rumors have already spread here, so we should go south. There are many outlaws there, so it will be fun to hunt.”
Only after one area of the back alley was turned into ruins did the two move.
The rumors about the two had already spread around this area, so no one dared to attack them.
So they arrived in the southern back alley.
This time, players appeared with fierce expressions, asking who the uninvited guests were, but the reaction was a little different from before.
“How dare you, not knowing your place…….”
“H, hyung [older brother/respected male figure]. That’s the Diablo Guild mark.”
“Diablo? What’s that?”
Has the rumor already spread?
Harry, who had realized that the transfer of information was slow because the back alleys were thoroughly divided, wondered how this could have happened.
And soon, the reason was revealed.
“You know, the guild that formed an alliance with the Valhalla Guild!”
“What? Valhalla? Really? No, why would Valhalla ally with a guild like this that I’ve never seen before…….”
“It’s certain! The leader of Valhalla has already announced it!”
The alliance between the Diablo and Valhalla Guilds.
Harry hurriedly opened the guild chat, and sure enough, there was a short notice left by Se-un.
“……I don’t think I can do this anymore.”
I had never heard of the Valhalla Guild before, but I could roughly guess its significance just by looking at the players running away with terrified expressions in front of me.
Since the information is spreading quite quickly, there will be no one picking a fight with us first anymore.
Kang Han-cheol frowned when he realized that fact.
“What a useless thing to do……!”
The alliance between guilds.
The only person who could make that happen was Se-un, the guild leader of Diablo.
* * *
“Is this much preparation enough?”
“Perfect! Good test subjects, good tools, and a large space. This is enough to create good results.”
– The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling Death,’ is looking forward to the new research.
– The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling Death,’ suggests to the contractor that one of the three test subjects should do as it says.
After completing the contract with the Valhalla Guild, Se-un and Baek-hyun immediately created a laboratory in the residence.
Of course, thanks to the help of the twin sisters, a vast laboratory was built in the residence in an instant.
Since they were planning to stay in Lilac for quite a long time, they built a proper laboratory instead of a temporary one, so it was on a different scale and had different facilities than the previous temporary laboratories.
“Wow, is Valhalla that great of a place?”
“Then can we go around alone now?”
The twin sisters jumped for joy after hearing about the fame of the Valhalla Guild from Se-un.
Even so, it didn’t seem like they would go around separately, but there was a big difference between having to be together unconditionally and being together by their own choice.
“I’m planning to create ghouls with Lunatic Werewolves. If we strengthen their physical abilities and have corpse poison flow out from their claws enhanced with aura…….”
“It’ll be similar to Seo-ah.”
“Haha, it’s embarrassing to compare them to Yoo Seo-ah, but they will have a similar fighting style. In fact, I’m creating the results based on Seo-ah.”
A werewolf who sweeps through the battlefield using the claws and poison of both hands.
I thought it resembled Yoo Seo-ah’s fighting style, who sweeps through the battlefield with twin swords and the fangs of a tarantula, and it turned out that she was the motif.
“I’m thinking of recreating Han-cheol’s fighting style with this Twin Head Ogre.”
“If Kang Han-cheol sees this, he might punch you right away.”
“The goal is to withstand that punch at least once. If I can’t withstand it and it breaks, that’s fine because it can be considered a research result. Haha!”
– The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling Death,’ recalls that it once struggled to develop a soldier who could withstand Agares’s fist.
Baek-hyun and Gamigin. The two seemed to get along better than Se-un had imagined.
‘Well, Gamigin was thinking of Baek-hyun not just as a contractor or apostle, but as a new legion commander.’
Even though it was a preliminary position, Baek-hyun had already received the position of Gamigin’s 31st Legion Commander.
This was a higher position than an apostle, which could be said to be the highest position a player could get close to a constellation.
After all, becoming a legion commander meant that the player was going beyond the level of a player and becoming a direct soldier of the constellation.
At first, I thought it was an excessive position, but now I was worried that the position of preliminary legion commander would become a limit for Baek-hyun.
That’s how great Baek-hyun’s potential was.
“Hmm, it’s still a shame.”
“Are there any insufficient materials?”
“We’re short on meteorites. Most of the meteorite fragments we obtained from Jeheton were damaged, and most of the meteorites we obtained before that have already been used.”
The undead created by embedding meteorites was one of the researches that Se-un was also looking forward to.
Of course, meteorite fragments were essential for this, but meteorites were not materials that could be bought or procured from around like other materials.
A material that you can’t get even if you have money.
Se-un smiled slightly as if he was relieved at those words.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
“Yes? You mean…….”
“I’m planning to go find a new meteorite from now on.”
A meteorite hidden in Lilac, the sixth shelter.
There is only one place I can think of.
“I’m going to head to the casino.”
A facility that can be said to be the core element of Lilac, the Casino.
If there is a meteorite in Lilac, its location is definitely the casino.
