Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 345

349. Raiding the Demon God’s Vault (3)

“It’s a complete rout! Wolf Mask is pushing forward relentlessly, climbing higher and higher!”

Could it be that they are skilled enough to have made it this far?

Starting with the White Walker, the skills of the players I encountered became noticeably stronger.

It was no longer easy to end battles with a single attack, and everyone was desperately trying to exploit Se-un.

“Damn it, what the hell is he?”

“I wanted to rip off his mask, but too bad.”

But the result was the same.

The opponent fell, bleeding, without even launching a proper counterattack against Se-un.

Frankly, it was a natural outcome.

Most of those participating in the underground arena were players looking to make money through gambling or receive scout offers from large guilds by winning.

The purpose of the underground arena was not the reign of an overwhelming absolute power but a bloody brawl, so participation is prohibited after winning more than a few times.

If one-sided results continue, gambling, which is the main source of income for the underground arena managers, becomes meaningless.

Se-un’s case was possible only because it was his first participation.

If they had known Se-un’s power, they would never have accepted him.

“Well, everyone has been waiting for a long time! This afternoon’s game had an unprecedented number of participants. Finally, the last game, the final, is approaching!”

As Se-un began to gain a foothold among the audience, the commentator excitedly opened his mouth.

As they reached the final, the cheers of the people reached their peak.

“In the blue corner, a fierce beast that suddenly appeared and knocked down all opponents with a single bite of its sharp fangs! Wolf Mask!”

At the commentator’s shout, Se-un calmly stepped onto the arena.

The introduction was exaggerated, but this was the last time he would visit the underground arena anyway.

As soon as he stepped onto the arena, Se-un raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

Even with mana around his eyes and using detection magic, he couldn’t feel it, but Arcana must be looking down at this place beyond that ceiling.

“In the red corner, the arena’s anti-tank who has already won once! Armor!”

The giant who faced Se-un in the final was named ‘Armor’.

Since the arena itself is a narrow space called a ring, most of the players are melee types rather than mages.

Warlocks who emphasize agility are also restricted in their movements in a narrow space. Therefore, in the underground arena, warriors who focus on attack and health like Armor are more advantageous in a fight.

Thump, thump-

The ground shook every time Armor walked onto the arena.

It doesn’t make sense for the arena to shake just because he’s big. In other words, that guy has more mass than his size.

He wasn’t holding a weapon, but he was covering his entire body with a cloth stained red with blood clots.

‘I can’t finish him with one blow.’

While waiting for his turn, Se-un had also watched other people’s games.

Among them, the combat style of the giant named Armor was literally like a bulldozer. He blocked the opponent’s attack with his body, charged, somehow grabbed them, and slammed them to the ground.

If the opponent’s attack was too strong, he charged in while obscuring his own vision, and its power was enough to collapse the outer wall of the arena.

“I’m curious to see who will win! Both players, please take your positions!”

“Isn’t it Armor?”

“Has anyone ever left a proper wound on that guy?”

“Well, if you face him head-on, you get crushed, and if you try to avoid him, you can’t even make a scratch. He’s a monster, a monster.”

“But that Wolf Mask hasn’t shown his skills yet, has he?”

“What’s the point? You can’t penetrate that guy with rusty iron swords from the arena.”

The audience’s reasoning poured out from outside.

Unless they had proper equipment, most people thought that Armor was close to invincible with the arena’s equipment.

It seemed they were thinking more deeply because it was a matter of their money coming and going.

“Okay, the game will start in 1 minute! Thanks to the many participants and spectators today, the odds are huge!”

“Damn it, should I go with the favorite after all?”

“I’ll do the opposite. That guy seems to have something.”

The commentator dragged out the time so that people could think enough and bet their money as it was the final.

From the end, Park Jung-pil was shouting, ‘I believe in you, hyung [older brother/friend]!’ and jumping around.

And finally, betting is over.

The commentator, who raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at the collected amount, raised his mana. It was to start the game splendidly as it was the final.

“Okay, let’s start! Both players, please show us a great game!”

The game started with flames rising around the arena as a signal.

As always, Se-un wielded the iron sword at his waist.

However.

Clang!

The iron sword that Se-un wielded shattered like glass as soon as it touched the opponent’s body.

It wasn’t just a swing, it was an attack imbued with internal energy using the first form of the Five Dragons Walking Technique, White Dragon’s Advance.

It was forbidden to wear armor, so he couldn’t understand how he blocked the sword with his bare body.

However, Se-un continued his second attack without hesitation.

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

The quickly flying daggers flew in a row.

Since he didn’t think the daggers would work anyway, the purpose was more to obscure his vision and tear his robe than to inflict damage.

Clink!

The daggers bounced off as expected.

He didn’t do any damage to the opponent, but the reason why the weapon was deflected was revealed as the cloth was cut off by the daggers.

‘Carapace?’

The opponent’s body was covered with a hard carapace like a rock.

A figure closer to a monster than a human.

Whether it was the blessing of the constellation he was following, the curse of the devil, or the blood of a monster, he couldn’t know the identity, but now it was more important to attack him.

– Through internal energy, the fourth form of the Five Dragons Walking Technique, Azure Dragon’s Advance, is enhanced.

Instead of taking out a spear, Se-un grabbed the heaviest hammer among the weapons he was holding.

He swung the hammer at the head of the guy who ignored the attack and stepped forward.

Thud!

A striking sound as if he had struck a rock rather than hitting a person.

The hammerhead was bent by this one attack because the condition of the weapon was so bad, but the opponent seemed to have taken quite a blow this time.

He stopped advancing and staggered back, then shook his head violently as if trying to come to his senses.

However, by the time he raised his head, Se-un had already disappeared from his sight.

– Through internal energy, the fifth form of the Five Dragons Walking Technique, Red Dragon’s Bite, is enhanced.

Crack!

Se-un, who appeared in the air with a gruesome tearing sound, slammed the ax down with gravity.

Between the carapace and the carapace.

The ax blade accurately penetrated the narrow gap that even a sword would not enter.

The carapace did not allow the ax blade to enter, but the ax blade widened the space between the carapaces while consuming all its durability.

“Ah, ah, it hurts……!”

The opponent, who painfully complained as clumsily as a monster imitating human language.

It was quite funny to see him struggling to catch Se-un, but it would be difficult to escape if he was caught by that arm swinging around.

Instead of landing on the floor, Se-un stepped on the opponent’s shoulder and re-jumped, abandoning the ax handle and grabbing the short spear at his waist.

– Through internal energy, the third form of the Five Dragons Walking Technique, Azure Dragon Flash, is enhanced.

– According to the mysteries of the Supreme Art of Breaking Extremes, the power of martial arts is enhanced.

Stab!

The short spear, filled with internal energy and sword energy—no, spear energy—was embedded in the gap between the carapaces opened by the ax.

So deeply that half of the spear shaft was embedded.

“It, it hurts. It hurts……!”

The opponent’s hand, which had been struggling, finally grabbed Se-un’s leg.

Even though it looked like he was struggling randomly, it seemed like he was accurately aiming for the timing when Se-un would attack.

The attack went in properly, but the opponent didn’t seem to care even with the spear stuck in him, as if he was confident not only in his defense but also in his stamina.

Feeling the grip on his calf, Se-un rolled the mana circle.

– According to the mysteries of the Black Tower, the power of ‘Explosion’ is enhanced.

It is impossible to manifest magic inside the opponent’s body, but it is possible to manifest it in his weapon.

Of course, even if it is his own weapon, it is common for it to be difficult to use magic normally because it is disturbed by the opponent’s mana the moment it enters the opponent’s body…….

Boom!

Se-un’s magic, which had reached the 7th circle, could already easily ignore such trivial interference.

As soon as the magic was manifested, the tip of the spear exploded and stirred up the opponent’s body.

The carapace fell off the skin, and the muscles burned black. Black smoke was rising from his mouth, which was wide open upwards.

The condition of the weapon was so bad that the magic power was low because the limit of mana that could be pushed to the end of the weapon was large, so he could not kill him.

However, the game was already decided with this.

“Cough, cough, cough……. It hurts, I don’t want to fight…….”

“W, winner! Wolf Mask!”

Naturally, Se-un won the underground arena.

* * *

“Wow, hyung [older brother/friend]! I believed in you! When you smiled and exploded the spear at the end, I felt a thrill!”

“I was spreading rumors that the guy named Armor would win.”

“……Haha, did you hear that? You have good ears. I actually deliberately steered public opinion in that direction to increase the odds!”

“So how much did you earn?”

“Excluding everything, the odds I received in the final alone are 3 times! 3 times! If you add up all the previous games…… Hehehe.”

I didn’t bother to post on the guild chat that I was participating in the underground arena, but seeing the contribution points Park Jung-pil had earned, I regretted not telling him to bet this time as well.

Well, since participating in the underground arena was not the main purpose anyway, I had a short conversation and immediately turned around.

“Oh, hyung [older brother/friend]! Are you leaving already? Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol are coming too.”

“It’s okay. I’m not coming anymore. No, even if I come again, I won’t be able to participate anymore.”

If an overwhelmingly strong winner comes out compared to other participants, the odds will decrease and people will not bet well.

Even if they bet, they only bet on the winner, so the underground arena prefers more manageable participants to come out and fight.

I didn’t bother to ask, but Se-un would have become an ineligible player with today’s game.

“While you’re here, tell them to participate here too.”

“Kang Han-cheol is crazy about fighting, so he’ll do it right away, but wouldn’t Seo-ah?”

“Well.”

Yoo Seo-ah’s combat power is as excellent as Kang Han-cheol.

However, as the vice guild master, she was more focused on managing and directing the guild on behalf of Se-un. Therefore, she was not the type to visit such places like Park Jung-pil said…….

‘I’ve seen changes recently.’

Was it around the end of the Moraf Grand Festival?

Yoo Seo-ah’s eyes changed noticeably.

I had secretly watched her training alone, and she looked quite fierce as she wielded her sword as if she was full of poison.

If it’s her now, she would welcome the participation in the underground arena with open arms.

There is no better place than here to gain practical experience with people.

“Then where are you going, hyung [older brother/friend]?”

“Casino.”

“Eek? Hyung [older brother/friend], I didn’t see you like that, going straight to the casino! Then this Park Jung-pil can’t help but follow you!”

Park Jung-pil followed excitedly. I didn’t bother to stop him.

Anyway…….

“Only VIP customers are allowed to enter from here.”
