Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 34

The Goblin Hideout (1)

“Wow, the breeze is great! Aside from my butt being a little sore, I couldn’t feel better!”

Immediately after receiving Se-un’s scouting order, Park Jung-pil made sure to brag about ‘White Fang’ to everyone before quickly moving forward.

Indeed, it was like a wolf. The speed was on a completely different level from when he ran.

Moreover, the skeleton named White Fang evenly extended its legs without tiring, likely due to the undead’s characteristics.

“Come on, faster! Yahoo!”

How long had it been since he felt this sense of speed?

Before coming here, he used to show off his imported car, bought with every penny he could scrape together, driving around the streets. He felt exactly like that time.

‘Indeed, I did well to follow Hyung-nim [term of endearment, like ‘bro’ or ‘chief’]!’

Park Jung-pil thought.

Being chosen by that Constellation, gaining the position of second-in-command in the camp, and obtaining this skeleton named White Fang, which was as good as an imported car.

It was all thanks to following Se-un.

-The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Bandit,’ barely suppresses laughter at what is about to unfold, squealing.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

The Constellation, Donkey-Headed Bandit. The 6th-ranked Demon King, Valefor.

He had given Park Jung-pil power but always sent nonsensical messages, mocking his actions.

It was the same now.

Anyone could see that riding a white skeleton wolf and galloping across the prairie was a scene straight out of a movie, but what was so funny about it?

At that moment.

Pee-bee-bee-beek-!!

Something sharp flew in from all directions.

“Uwaaaah!”

-Player Park Jung-pil has used ‘Fluster.’

Fluster.

It was the ability Park Jung-pil received from the Constellation ‘Donkey-Headed Bandit.’

As the ability was used, Park Jung-pil, true to its meaning, frantically moved, lifting the saddle to block the attacks.

Poo-book!

Poo-book!

Fortunately, the power wasn’t too strong. Most of the attacks hit the skeleton’s body and fell off, or they couldn’t penetrate the saddle and stuck into the leather.

“Crazy, what is it!”

After regaining his senses, he saw the leather and the ground were covered with sharp thorns.

Even if hit, it didn’t seem like they would cause fatal wounds, but the tips of the thorns were covered with a sticky substance.

Park Jung-pil, who often read novels and watched movies, could easily predict that they were ‘poison needles.’

“Which bastards!”

“Kieeehk!”

“Kehk! Kick! Kikehkehk!”

The moment Park Jung-pil was about to get angry, the monsters that shot the poison needles rose up.

The guys had grass plastered all over their skin, making it look like a part of the prairie was rising up.

Green skin, small height, thin arms and legs, and a protruding belly in contrast. Their long, torn mouths had crude, protruding teeth.

“Go, Goblins?”

Park Jung-pil was certain.

That they were the monsters he had seen in games and movies, Goblins.

Moreover, their numbers were enormous.

Roughly, there were dozens. No, it seemed like there would be hundreds.

The only thought that came to Park Jung-pil’s mind at that moment was.

-Player Park Jung-pil has used ‘Hustle.’

“Uwaaaaaaah!”

-The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Bandit,’ bursts into uncontrollable laughter, clutching its stomach and rolling on the floor.

A hasty retreat.

Park Jung-pil gave the order to White Fang to flee without any hesitation or lingering feelings.

Thanks to the ability he received from Valefor, he could momentarily gain rapid speed, even if his appearance was pathetic, and quickly escape from the Goblins’ encirclement.

“Kieeehk!”

“Kehk, Kikik! Keh-eehk!”

And the Goblins began to follow him.

Normally, they would have reorganized after a failed ambush, but in the Goblins’ eyes, Park Jung-pil was a fun prey. No, more like a fun toy.

Like a cat chasing a fluttering feather, they abandoned their Goblin-like intelligence and moved their legs.

Whether it was Park Jung-pil’s power or the Constellation’s power, it was definitely an outstanding talent in some ways.

Of course, it was probably the worst talent for him.

“Help me, save me!”

“Kehkehkehk!”

“Keh-reuk, Ki-reuk, Kikik!”

A scene reminiscent of the Pied Piper.

Park Jung-pil urged White Fang on, desperately running across the prairie.

Even in the midst of that, his direction was accurately heading towards one place. In Park Jung-pil’s mind, there was only one person who could resolve this situation.

Se-un.

If he went to Se-un, he would somehow solve it.

As he ran desperately, a wagon and people came into view in the distance.

“Hyung-niiim [term of endearment, like ‘bro’ or ‘chief’]!”

Park Jung-pil desperately called out for Se-un.

And was it a delusion? It was clear that they were still far away, but Park Jung-pil somehow thought he could see Se-un’s face.

“Huh?”

Se-un mouthed.

As if saying something to Park Jung-pil.

The meaning was clear…….

‘Suck. It.’

“No, Hyung-nim [term of endearment, like ‘bro’ or ‘chief’] can’t be!”

Whoosh!

A huge fireball was created in front of Se-un’s hand.

How could he not know?

Park Jung-pil’s face turned pale as he had seen that magic countless times while working as Se-un’s decoy.

“Is bowing going to solve this!”

Kwarururuk!

-The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Bandit,’ unable to contain its laughter, falls from its seat, gasping for breath.

A house-sized fireball rapidly approached Park Jung-pil.

* * *

Kwaaaang!!

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ rejoices at the appearance of snacks, saying it was starving to death.

Dozens of Goblins were brutally burned in a single attack. Indeed, when dealing with a large number of enemies, there was nothing like magic.

“Kieeehk!”

The Goblins, having regained their senses from Park Jung-pil’s bait, looked towards Se-un.

Although dozens of Goblins had been killed, the difference in power was still several times greater.

Confirming their numerical superiority, the guys let out sharp screeches and shot poison needles.

“Everyone, hide behind the wagon!”

Even when faced with a long-range attack for the first time, Yoo Seo-ah didn’t panic and evacuated the people.

However, Se-un didn’t follow her instructions. Instead of hiding, he moved forward and charged towards the Goblins.

“Se-un!”

“Yoo Seo-ah, Kang Han-cheol. Follow me.”

“Understood.”

At Se-un’s command, Kang Han-cheol followed without a moment’s hesitation, and Yoo Seo-ah also hesitated for a moment before quickly running after Kang Han-cheol.

Meanwhile, hundreds of poison needles covering the sky began to fall.

“Kehkkehkkehk!”

The Goblins anticipated victory.

There was no blind spot for the three people running to avoid the poison needles, and they didn’t have shields.

However, the guys’ poison needles lost their power and bounced off just before reaching Se-un.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Wide Shield ]

– A magic created by modifying a shield to defend against wide-range attacks such as arrows in the colorless magic tower.

Wide Shield.

It was difficult to defend against strong attacks like swords in close combat, but it was truly the most efficient magic for blocking poison needles like now.

The range was much wider than a typical shield magic, protecting not only Se-un but also Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol, who were following behind, from the poison needles.

“Kieeehk!”

The Goblins took out their weapons. As the distance closed, they chose close-range weapons instead of poison needles.

The blades were dull and looked rusty, but they were properly made of iron. That alone clearly explained the difference from the first chapter of the tutorial.

The moment they reached the Goblin formation, Se-un raised his hand once again instead of a sword.

-According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Lightning Chain’ is enhanced.

Pajijijik!

Black lightning struck the Goblin horde.

All the remaining mana was poured in, and the mysteries of the Black Tower were applied, making its power close to a 3rd Circle magic.

The Goblins hit by the lightning met their end with a brief convulsion.

Immediately after, Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah, who were following Se-un, also charged forward.

-Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Commencement of War.’

Kwarururung!

When Kang Han-cheol slammed the ground, the prairie groaned and cracked.

The Goblins were pierced by the flying stones and crushed between the cracked earth.

The range and power were comparable to Se-un’s magic. What was surprising was that this was an attack that didn’t use any mana at all.

Only strength.

And Agades, the 2nd-ranked Demon King, gave him large wings.

-Player Yoo Seo-ah uses ‘Tarantula’s First Leg.’

Seoseoseogeok-!!

Yoo Seo-ah’s performance was also outstanding.

She quickly stirred through the Goblins, utilizing the dual sword technique and footwork she had learned from Se-un a while ago.

Perhaps due to the ability she received from Baal, the 1st-ranked Demon King, afterimages remained in her attacks, making it seem like she was wielding four swords.

It was like watching a wolf thrown into a flock of sheep.

“Let’s help too!”

“We can’t leave it all to just three people!”

The people who had been avoiding the poison needles behind the wagon also joined the battle.

The Goblins’ strengths lay in their cunning intelligence, the use of poison or tools, and their group living. In a one-on-one fight, even a normal player who hadn’t contracted with a Constellation could easily handle them.

“Ki, Kiehk!”

The Goblins began to panic.

They had clearly confirmed their overwhelming numerical superiority and picked up their weapons, but the tide quickly turned completely.

There were still more Goblins, but victory was no longer in their minds.

Kwang!

Meanwhile, Se-un was observing a unique being that had joined the battlefield as an ally.

A skeleton.

The skeleton that had been pulling the wagon was running through the Goblins.

Se-un hadn’t done it, so there was only one person who could be doing this.

‘Baek Hyeon.’

His skeleton was outstanding.

Neither the low defense nor the low attack power typical of skeletons was felt. It roamed the battlefield roughly with natural movements like a real wild boar.

If he succeeded in raising the Manticore’s corpse, he was already looking forward to how much power he would unleash.

-You have successfully defended against the Goblin horde’s ambush.

-1,000 points are provided to all personnel who defended against the ambush.

“Ki, Kieeehk!”

“Kiiiik!”

The Goblins began to flee.

The people, excited by the victory, shouted and tried to follow the Goblins.

At that moment, Se-un stepped forward and stopped the running people.

Yoo Seo-ah, realizing his intentions, approached Se-un’s side and calmed the people down.

“Everyone, you’ve worked hard! We might be ambushed or trapped if we follow them, so let’s reorganize first!”

“Yes, Unni [term of endearment for older sister or female friend]!”

“That’s right. It would be really dangerous if we were ambushed by those guys.”

Se-un smiled faintly at Yoo Seo-ah’s excellent leadership. However, the reason Se-un stopped the people wasn’t that.

‘Those guys, running away means they have a separate base.’

Something he hadn’t even thought about in the continuous desperate situations before the regression. It wasn’t in the plan, but Se-un thought of this as a new hidden piece.

“Yoo Seo-ah, once you’re done reorganizing, leave without worrying about me.”

“Yes? Where are you going?”

“I’m going to follow the Goblins.”

“No, um……. I’m sure you have a reason, but how are you going to follow them?”

“Don’t worry. I won’t miss them as long as I follow the wheel tracks.”

“……Okay. You have to come back safely.”

“Of course.”

He was reminded of his first meeting with her right after the regression. At that time, Yoo Seo-ah had stopped Se-un from heading to the wolf forest to find weapons.

Compared to that, he could see how much stronger her faith in Se-un had become.

“Jung-pil, you’ve worked hard.”

“Hyu, Hyung-nim [term of endearment, like ‘bro’ or ‘chief’]……!”

Se-un opened the vault and took out the lowest-grade potion, throwing it to Park Jung-pil.

He seemed to be in bad shape, and although things had gone differently than he had thought, it was Se-un who had ordered him to scout.

Se-un left Park Jung-pil, who looked touched.

Following the Goblins, who were desperately running away while limping.
