Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 344

348. Raiding the Demon God’s Warehouse

‘How boring.’

Could it be that I haven’t met a skilled person yet?

The level of the underground arena is lower than I thought.

I didn’t even use Durendal, nor did I use the relatively good iron sword I received from the manager. Just wielding this chipped iron sword that I picked up haphazardly, two opponents have already fallen in one blow.

Without even clashing swords once.

“Another one-hit! It’s a one-hit! Oh my god, how is this even happening!”

“Is this rigged?”

“I couldn’t even see him swing his sword properly? This has gotta be rigged, right?”

“Who is that guy? He said it’s his first time!”

“Take off his mask! Show us his face!”

Few people welcomed Se-un’s presence.

To them, this sudden uninvited guest was ruining all their bets.

The commentator didn’t like Se-un either.

‘What am I supposed to do if he finishes this quickly!’

The underground arena wasn’t just a fair competition to test each other’s skills.

The thrill of blood and flesh splattering and screams echoing.

They had to satisfy the audience who came to feel that thrill.

Clashing weapons, weapons bouncing off, then using hands if weapons fail, and teeth if hands fail!

That’s the kind of fun the audience comes to see, the tenacity to continue the match with sheer grit.

But what about now? The battle ends in a single blow, without even a proper confrontation. If he had cut the opponent’s neck or something, he could have at least induced some cheers from the audience, but he didn’t even do that.

A one-hit that cleverly missed the vital point.

It was a match that couldn’t be sugarcoated, no matter how hard you tried.

In the midst of all this, there was someone shouting with joy.

“I believed in you, bro! Who called him an underdog? Let’s go with the favorite!”

“Park Jung-pil?”

Park Jung-pil could be seen jumping up and down at the edge of the audience seats.

I didn’t specifically post this schedule in the guild chat, so no one should know that Se-un was in the underground arena.

No matter how I think about it, it seems like a coincidence, but there was one strange thing.

‘How did he recognize me?’

Right now, Se-un was covering his face with a wolf mask and almost his entire body with old cloth.

He had so many weapons stuck between the clothes he wore like a robe that it was hard to even recognize his body shape.

He’s only participated in two matches so far, but he already recognized Se-un’s identity.

Moreover, Se-un had never even made a sound on the arena.

‘His personality is trash, but he’s useful.’

He certainly wasn’t like this during the tutorial. His compatibility with Gamigin seems to be good, and he’s been showing good performance in battles recently.

People say you can’t fix a person, and it’s a problem that he sometimes can’t be controlled, but if he’s ‘trained’ well, he has more talent than I thought.

“Ah, the unskilled participants are slowly being filtered out, and the elites are starting to stand out!”

In the meantime, the matches were progressing quickly.

It seems like they don’t want to drag things out with the feeling of preliminary rounds still lingering, so the players come up without any breaks.

“This match is… Ah, ah… It’s the Wolf Mask player… The opponent is a player famous for being agile, so there might be some probing…”

Swish-

Thud.

“…Yes, it’s over.”

Who cares about the cheers of the underground arena?

I don’t plan to stay here for long anyway. In fact, the goal isn’t the underground arena itself, but to please Arcana.

Again, defeating the opponent in one blow, Se-un advanced to the round of 16.

* * *

‘That’s my next opponent.’

Next, the round of 8 match.

The ‘White Walker,’ who is being called the strong favorite to win the afternoon matches, observed his next opponent written on the bracket.

Wolf Mask.

As the nickname suggests, he was wearing a mask on his face, and of course, he was wrapped in clean cloth from head to toe, without a single scab, wondering how he got it.

And the weapons stuffed inside.

I expected a battle where he would confuse the enemy by using various weapons like a weapon expert, but the reality was different.

Swish-

“Ah, he falls in one blow again… Wolf Mask advances to the round of 8 so easily!”

One single blow.

He defeats his opponent with a single blow that doesn’t allow defense or evasion.

In particular, this time, the opponent who fell was hit without being able to react, even though he was careful after confirming the Wolf Mask’s one-hit.

‘He’s definitely strong.’

White Walker.

People thought his strength was his speed and reflexes, but the reality was different.

Excellent analytical skills.

Underground arenas allow you to check the opponent’s fighting style in advance through preliminary matches, so analysis was easy, even if it was a sudden match.

After analyzing the opponent’s fighting style, White Walker’s real strength was to thoroughly attack with his unique speed.

The short match that Wolf Mask just had.

White Walker, who had repeated the short match several times in his head, was able to reach one hypothesis.

‘Those weapons are all bluffing.’

Bluffing.

A strategy of bluffing or exaggerating to deceive the opponent.

That was the Wolf Mask’s strategy that White Walker judged.

‘His fighting style is a one-hit swordsman focused on drawing the sword. If I avoid the first draw, there’s nothing to worry about.’

This style is bound to create a big gap the moment the draw fails.

He must have brought several weapons that he doesn’t even use to hide the gap from the enemy.

‘And, I can’t be hit by an attack that I’ve already repeated several times… no, dozens of times in my head.’

White Walker smiled with confidence.

He had a good feeling this time.

In the last match, he was hit by the opponent’s hidden trump card and gave up the final, but not this time.

‘If I win here, I can join a giant guild.’

To players, Lilac’s underground arena was not just a gambling den.

If you get good grades or show great potential, you will receive offers from various guilds.

Not like newly formed guilds, but giant guilds that have already established themselves beyond the 70th floor.

If you just enter there, you will be able to acquire great power in the tower along with force.

“Next match! Wolf Mask versus White Walker! Here they come!”

Finally, it was his turn.

Wolf Mask, who comes up to the arena indifferently, just like the matches he has seen so far, and grabs the sword handle with his right hand.

He will use the sword drawing technique again this time.

Looking at him, White Walker once again recalled the Wolf Mask’s sword drawing technique in his head.

“Ah, White Walker! As the nickname suggests, he is a fast and agile player who seems to leave a white flash in the place he passed!”

“Go, Walker!”

“This time, cut that bastard up!”

Wolf Mask’s popularity was low compared to his overwhelming power.

Even though he was strong, the match itself was too short and concise to be an exciting match where blood and flesh splattered, which the audience wanted, so there was nothing to enjoy at all.

Well, contrary to what they said, the bets were gradually pouring into Wolf Mask.

“I hope the game will be a little longer this time! Then let’s start right away…!”

As befits an underground arena, intense flames erupted, and the match began.

Along with it, the Wolf Mask’s iron sword is drawn.

As expected, the method was the same as before. The speed, power, and sword path were all the same.

White Walker, who smiled slightly, stretched out his right foot and bent his upper body as he had repeated dozens of times in his head.

Swish-

I thought I had avoided it perfectly, but some of his hair was cut off because the sword was so fast that it couldn’t keep up with its owner’s movements.

While the hair was fluttering in the air, White Walker drew his weapon.

‘As expected, I was right.’

Could it be that he didn’t even think that the attack would be avoided? Or could it be that he couldn’t handle such a strong attack himself?

I could see the Wolf Mask dropping his sword from his hand.

Then, a clear gap is revealed.

“It’s over!”

The movement of White Walker, who shouted that and swung his sword towards the Wolf Mask’s gap, stopped momentarily.

He could feel it because he was the one who read and understood the opponent’s movements better than anyone else.

The gap he was about to enter was no different from a wolf’s wide-open mouth.

* * *

‘Oh?’

Se-un admired slightly as he watched his opponent quickly evade the attack. The reason was that this opponent was the first to avoid the attack while playing the afternoon match.

It would have been okay if it was just an ordinary sword drawing technique, but the sword Se-un wielded was definitely a martial art.

– The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.

[Five Dragons Broad Steps]

– A versatile martial art created with the energy of five dragons, freely applying five martial arts techniques.

The first form of the newly learned Five Dragons Broad Steps, ‘White Dragon’s Emergence’.

Most people couldn’t avoid the unique sword drawing technique that left a white trail even if they knew it. The first opponent to avoid that attack appeared.

‘Now I can finally use other forms.’

Until now, the opponents were too weak, so I could only use the first form.

Thud.

White Dragon’s Emergence.

It was a powerful attack that put everything into the sword drawing technique, but it created a huge gap.

Nevertheless, the reason why the first form of the Five Dragons Broad Steps is White Dragon’s Emergence is because the Five Dragons Broad Steps was not a swordsmanship but five martial arts techniques.

Se-un, who dropped his sword from his hand without hesitation, immediately rotated his body once and threw the dagger in his arms.

– Through internal energy, the second form of the Five Dragons Broad Steps, Black Dragon’s Flight, is enhanced.

Clang- Poobuk!

The number of daggers flying with a black trail was not one.

It was clearly just one throw, but five daggers flew towards the opponent at once.

Still, he was quite skilled, as he managed to deflect four daggers, but he allowed the last dagger to hit his shoulder.

Before he could even complain of pain, Se-un, who had regained his posture, took out the short spear he had hung horizontally on his waist.

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Five Dragons Broad Steps, Blue Dragon Flash, is enhanced.

Poof!

The third form of the Five Dragons Broad Steps, Blue Dragon Flash, which hides the body with the dagger thrown by Black Dragon’s Flight and instantly thrusts the spear.

The biggest advantage of the Five Dragons Broad Steps was that it neutralized the gaps created after the attack by changing weapons like this, and rather used the gaps.

“Damn… Those weapons, were you really using them…”

He didn’t let go of his sword until the moment Se-un approached, as if he was trying to prepare some kind of counterattack, but the mid-range attack using the spear didn’t even allow that counterattack.

The opponent looked down at the spear stuck in his body and lowered his head.

I avoided the vitals, so there won’t be any aftereffects.

“He… He won again! Wolf Mask goes up again!”

Was it thanks to continuing the next attack instead of the first sword drawing?

“Oooooo!”

“What was that just now, how did he do that!”

“Yeah, it has to be this much! Hurry up and bring out stronger guys! Bring out that guy’s skills!”

Voices supporting Se-un began to flow out for the first time from the audience seats, which had only been criticizing him because the matches were extremely short and there was nothing to see.
