Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 352

Chapter 356

I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse (3)

While Se-un was battling Outer, the underground arena beneath the casino roared louder than during his final match.

“Waaaaaah!”

“Push him!”

“Grab him! It’s over if you grab him!”

“Just fall already! Hundreds of knife wounds, why aren’t you down?!”

The audience’s frenzy was relentless.

The commentator strained his voice, struggling to keep pace with the chaotic scene.

The battle was that intense.

And at its heart:

“How long will you keep running?”

“Running? It’s called tactics. You’ll never catch Se-un moving like that.”

“Is that a taunt?”

“Yes, it is.”

Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol of the Diablo Guild faced off, glaring. Kang Han-cheol was naturally aggressive, but Yoo Seo-ah’s demeanor was strikingly different.

She’d plunged into the underground arena fight herself and openly baited him.

“I know your strategy. I won’t fall for it twice.”

“Are you sure? You don’t seem to have one, Han-cheol.”

“That’s too much provocation.”

“Your fighting is too emotional, Han-cheol. You’ll never reach Se-un without a strategy.”

“Same for you. You won’t catch him relying only on strategy.”

“I know. That’s why I’m learning emotional fighting now.”

If other Diablo Guild members saw this, they’d be horrified and intervene, but this wasn’t just a squabble.

They were pinpointing each other’s weaknesses, offering ways to improve.

To reach Se-un, the Diablo Guild’s master, they were patching each other’s shortcomings and amplifying their strengths.

Knowing this, Yoo Seo-ah spoke freely.

“I won’t lose.”

“Me neither.”

Their record stood at one win each.

In the first fight, Yoo Seo-ah’s hit-and-run tactics worked perfectly; Kang Han-cheol succumbed to poison before reacting. In the second, Kang Han-cheol caught Yoo Seo-ah.

Though simply put, the battles were so fierce they doubled the underground arena’s spectators.

This was their third battle.

Considered the final practical to gauge their skills.

Both unleashed their full power.

– Player Kang Han-cheol assumes the form of ‘Agares’ Crocodile’.

His clothes tore as crocodile skin enveloped Kang Han-cheol’s body, already scarred by Yoo Seo-ah’s blades.

His massive frame swelled further, showing greater development than during his fight with Se-un.

Kwaaaang!!

Kang Han-cheol’s stomp shook the arena violently.

Yoo Seo-ah faltered. Her agile swordsmanship was inherently disadvantaged in the confined arena.

Yet, she’d toyed with Kang Han-cheol in their first match for a reason.

After witnessing Se-un’s battle against Kang Han-cheol at the Moraf Festival, she’d trained harder than anyone in the Diablo Guild.

As a result.

– Player Yoo Seo-ah accepts ‘Baal’s Crown’.

Like Kang Han-cheol, she could wield Baal’s power.

Sssst-

From her reversed twin swords dripped a potent poison, unlike anything in the world.

A predatory aura surged, causing nearby spectators to gasp.

The crown above her head dissolved, channeling Baal’s power into her.

– The constellation, ‘Old Man Riding a Crocodile,’ crosses his arms, declaring the crocodile’s skin impenetrable.

– The constellation, ‘Spider Wearing a Crown,’ laughs, predicting the battle’s end the moment the leather is pierced by poisonous fangs.

Kwaaaang-!!

The battle, destined for underground arena legend, hurtled toward its climax.

* * *

“Wow, Soo-chang oppa [older brother/male friend]! Long time no see!”

“It’s been a while.”

“What have you been up to? Oppa, you smell a little.”

“I find it easier to train in places with water…”

“Was there a waterfront in Lilac?”

“There was a sewer in the basement. It smells, but it’s quite wide…”

“…Go away, oppa.”

The Diablo Guild’s residence stood large on Lilac’s outskirts.

Since allying with the Valhalla Guild, the buddy system had vanished, and everyone pursued their own work, gathering here for the first time since earnestly working, catching up with each other.

“Wow, what is that armor?”

“I asked the elder to make it with materials I bought at the auction house. Does it look good?”

“It suits you so well! I should ask him too.”

“Hurry if you want to. The elder’s been busy lately.”

“Haha, what’s so busy? If it’s equipment for our guild members, I’ll drop everything else.”

“Elder, you’re here.”

Though little time passed, everyone had grown.

Their equipment changed, and their power surged.

Some amplified strength or mana, others sought constellations’ power like Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah.

They were stronger than when they fought the Black Wing Guild.

Perhaps that battle had spurred them.

“But what’s going on this time?”

“Are we challenging the next trial already?”

“If so, we’d have been told to prepare. He’s not one to start a trial without warning.”

“I guess. But otherwise, why would the guild leader summon us?”

“Even the Valhalla alliance was just a guild chat message. I’m curious.”

The Diablo Guild members gathered for one reason: Se-un’s summons.

He rarely interfered after entering the resting place, only appearing for trials, puzzling everyone.

Amidst speculation, Se-un appeared.

“It’s been a while, everyone.”

Unlike his usual calm, his face showed emotion.

“I know you’re busy, so I’ll be direct.”

Yoo Seo-ah tilted her head, uninformed.

Se-un sighed softly.

“It may be surprising, but we’re accepting a new guild member.”

“Yes?”

“A new guild member?”

Everyone looked surprised.

Only Yoo Seo-ah pondered, ‘Did he scout a talented player he knew before the regression?’

Se-un nodded, and a woman emerged from behind him.

She’d seemingly appeared from nowhere.

“Hello~ I’m Arcana. Please take care of me, everyone? Oh my, are those two twins? How cute~”

Everyone was taken aback.

Though the casino queen and Lilac’s de facto ruler, few knew her identity.

However, some clenched fists and swallowed saliva, recognizing Arcana’s power.

Yoo Seo-ah, Kang Han-cheol, Choi Soo-chang, etc., seemed to instinctively sense her strength.

‘How should I introduce her?’

He thought it would be difficult, and it was.

He couldn’t just say ‘the ruler of Lilac.’

‘It’ll be the right choice.’

Se-un had many concerns before accepting her.

Despite their talks, her identity remained uncertain.

Unlike Harry, whose circumstances he’d investigated, he hesitated to accept someone he didn’t trust.

Nevertheless, she was an attractive talent.

Not as a woman, but her combat power and judgment were outstanding even among tower players.

Given his penalties, her abilities would greatly help him ascend.

He could freely discuss the regression, making her invaluable to his plans if he accepted the uncertainty.

“Oh my, haven’t you been building a clock tower recently?”

“Huh? How did you know?”

“Of course I know~ How could I miss Lilac’s tallest clock tower? I didn’t know the creator would be so cute~”

“Cu, cute?”

“Yes! Ah, I wanted to ask the builder: I’m thinking of promoting the clock tower as a Lilac landmark, would that be okay?”

“Of course, unnie [older sister/female friend]!”

“Oh my, thank you~”

Arcana approached the guild members first.

Considering her casino demeanor and speech, he expected her to ignore them, but she didn’t.

“You two are famous in the underground arena~ Would you like to fight me sometime?”

“…Strong?”

“I’m probably stronger?”

“Let’s fight right now.”

“There’s plenty of time, let’s take it slow~”

Even the taciturn Kang Han-cheol was instantly 넘어갔다 [won over/charmed].

She melted into the Diablo Guild so quickly, she seemed a femme fatale.

Only Yoo Seo-ah remained 경계 [wary/vigilant].

‘Anyway, is Tike okay?’

As long as she was with the Diablo Guild, her constellation, Tike, couldn’t look this way.

The only communication would be when separated from Se-un, but she seemed to stick to him.

Maybe she’s biting her nails up there.

She gave her strength as an apostle, and she was 욕 [cursed/sworn at] as much as she wanted, but she couldn’t even watch.

At this point, I wondered if she was really an ‘incompetent goddess’.

“Oh my, you were wandering around the sewers? Many don’t know, but there’s a small lake in Lilac too~”

“Re, really? Where is that…”

Judging by the atmosphere, most guild members except Yoo Seo-ah had 인정 [acknowledged/accepted] Arcana.

Trust would take time, but the foundation was laid.

He was more impressed with her abilities than her combat skills.

Bbibik-

Se-un, 확인 [checking] the alarm, 키웠다 [enlarged/opened] the system 창 [window].

The auction list, 미리 설정 [preset], was 최신화 [updated].

And in the center:

[ Leap of the Hero ]

The item Se-un sought 반짝이는 [shone/sparkled] with a name even more 찬란한 [brilliant/radiant] than gold.
