Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 380

384. Plundered the Demon God’s Warehouse

I arrived at the Trial of the 54th floor with a familiar feeling.

Unlike the previous floors, where the stench of rotting corpses permeated the air, this place was a little different. It certainly had a rotten smell, but different from before…

‘The smell of blood.’

The fresh scent of blood filled the surroundings.

If the previous floors were full of undead, this place was a haven for monsters regardless of their species. No, it could be called a hell *for* monsters.

– Welcome to the Trial of the 54th floor.

– Theme: Eternal Battlefield

– In this cursed battlefield, the remnants of destroyed places are constantly at war.

– You too must participate in the endless war to escape the battlefield.

– To do so, first, gain ‘recognition’ from one of the factions.

In the Trial of the 54th floor, the player’s role was to be recognized by them.

However, the word ‘recognition’ had various meanings.

‘It means I just need to get recognition, no matter how.’

Most players would hear those words and go to the monsters, showing them kindness and hoping they would accept them.

However, that is not the only answer to this trial.

‘Slaughter, assassination, bluffing, etc. All methods work.’

If you recklessly charge into a monster camp, brandishing your sword and showing off your strength, the monsters will recognize the player as a strong enemy.

If you assassinate monsters that are far away and build your name as a shadow, they will tremble with fear and acknowledge the player.

You can scatter darkness on undead monsters, or go to goblins and burst light to trick them into believing you are a god.

All those methods are treated as ‘recognition’ in the trial.

‘Before the regression, I found a hidden camp as a guide for the journey and got recognition.’

I could still use that method now, but I had no intention of doing so.

Seun’s goal now was to be the first in the trial.

No, more than that, it was to use the power of the Stigmata to test how much of the Giant’s Might he could digest in actual combat.

‘It would be easier to check the closest ones first.’

As soon as I said that, I felt a presence from behind.

The sharp murderous intent pricked my back, and there seemed to be dozens of them.

Turning my head, as expected, about twenty monsters were surrounding Seun.

‘Werewolves.’

Simply put, they were wolf men.

They were smart monsters, so they originally preferred to conceal their presence and ambush rather than approaching openly like this, but there were no suitable landmarks to hide in here.

Besides, Seun was alone.

Therefore, they seemed to be trying to hunt by forming an encirclement.

“Krrr… Surround him so he can’t escape,” a particularly large werewolf, who seemed to be the leader, spoke.

They didn’t let their guard down at all, even when hunting just one human.

The twenty werewolves surrounded Seun, revealing their sharp claws and gradually narrowing the distance.

Normally, I would have used martial arts or magic to deal with them in an instant and send them into Beelzebub’s stomach, but.

– The Stigmata is reacting to the legend of the Blood Wolf.

– The first ability of the Stigmata, ‘Fear,’ awakens.

Kwaaa!

The goal was different now.

When I used the power of fear, the murderous intent of the werewolves, who were approaching with sharp eyes, subsided as if it were a lie.

I didn’t do anything in particular; I just used the power of fear, but more than half of them had already lost their fighting spirit.

“Open your mouths and show your fangs! Don’t give in to that human!”

“Awoo-!!”

At the shout of the werewolf who seemed to be the leader, the werewolves who were losing their fighting spirit all let out howls.

Werewolves were beings with a stronger innate fighting spirit than other monsters.

Besides, since they knew how to use fear like Seun, fear without a medium didn’t have a big impact on them.

If I could use the power of Turiek, I could have made them kneel, but there was no response from Turiek yet, so the power of fear was limited to this.

Then.

‘I just need to create a medium.’

Seun ran towards the werewolves who were howling.

The target was, of course, the guy who seemed to be the leader.

– The Stigmata is reacting to the legend of the Blood Wolf.

– The second ability of the Stigmata, ‘Rage,’ awakens.

Anyway, the goal of this trial was to digest the Giant’s Might through the use of the Stigmata in actual combat.

I used the power of the Stigmata without holding back.

The werewolf, who had been watching Seun running towards him, stopped howling and raised his claws.

A red aura flickered, and it seemed that he could use an aura-like energy as he was the leader.

But.

– Taesan Blood Wolf is enhanced through internal energy.

– The power of martial arts is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Breaking Limit Heart Technique.

Kwajik!

He couldn’t withstand Seun’s sword strike, which was first enhanced through the Myriad Manifestations, then enhanced a second time with the mysteries of the Breaking Limit Heart Technique [a martial arts technique], and finally boosted with the power of madness.

The werewolf’s neck fell off as his claws were cut off.

The werewolves, who had been howling vigorously to try to forget their fear, fell into silence for a moment.

I used the power of fear one more time there.

“Kke, kkaeng!”

“Kkiing……”

The werewolves, known as natural warriors who never kneel to the enemy, covered their heads and slammed them into the ground.

* * *

Meanwhile, while Seun was using the Stigmata to make the werewolves kneel, the other Diablo Guild members were also attacking the trial.

“Hehe, your equipment is a mess. Let me fix it for you.”

“Keureuk, equipment?”

Go Chang-seok was being recognized by the monsters as a skilled craftsman, just as the word trial implied.

For players, the most basic way to be recognized by monsters was to make use of their skills.

The chief of the monster camp, who received Go Chang-seok’s equipment, widened his eyes and acknowledged him.

However, there were not many Diablo Guild members who were attacking the trial in such an ordinary way.

[Han Areum: Sis, shall we build a really tall tower?]

[Han Da-un: Oh, shall we build it so we can see each other?]

[Han Areum: Where are you now, sis?]

[Han Da-un: I don’t know? What about you?]

[Han Areum: I don’t know? Anyway, let’s build it!]

[Han Da-un: Okay! If we keep building, we’ll see each other someday!]

The twin sisters started building a tower as soon as they arrived at the trial site.

The two’s structures basically had defensive and offensive capabilities. As such a tower began to be built, the surrounding monsters naturally flocked to it.

“Ugh… God’s… altar….”

“A pillar… heading… to the sky….”

– The Constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ flaps its beak, saying it would be good to name this tower ‘Black Beak.’

– The Constellation, ‘Giant Bird,’ worries about the contractor, saying you should stop building soon.

The monsters bowed their heads in front of the tower and raised their arms, ‘recognizing’ the structure the two had created.

A great method that even Seun couldn’t have thought of.

On the other hand.

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

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

“Keureuk, wait! Wait a minute!”

“Kyaaak! Let’s talk first…!”

Kwagwagwagwang!!

Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol, etc., pushed into the monster camp without looking back.

Was it thanks to the actions Seun had shown so far?
The Diablo Guild members were all open-minded.

Instead of making rigid judgments based on the word recognition like other players, they made various judgments flexibly.

In addition to this.

– The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Snatcher,’ points at the contractor sitting on the throne and laughs until he runs out of breath, saying he is looking forward to the next floor even more.

Park Jeong-pil, who took the position of the 2nd generation chief while showing off all kinds of bluff.

– Player Lee Ha-neul uses ‘Poison-Soaked Ward.’

– Player Lee Ha-neul uses ‘Blood-Soaked Ward.’

Lee Ha-neul, etc., who were scattering all kinds of curses and diseases in the monster camp.

The Diablo Guild, who were passing the trial in their own ways, seemed to be listing all the ways to pass the Trial of the 54th floor.

* * *

Kukung!

“Keureung……”

A werewolf fell in front of Seun.

It was twice the size of other werewolves, with claws as long and sharp as swords, and muscles revealed even through thick fur.

It was the werewolf lord, the boss of this monster camp.

– ‘Werewolf Lord’ has been devoured.

– Agility increases by 2 by absorbing nutrients.

With the sound of Kwajik, Kwajik, the werewolf lord’s body was being eaten.

I heard Beelzebub’s cheering message, but there was one thing left to do before imagining it.

“Ruin.”

– Awoo-!

Ruin howled powerfully with his foot on the back of the werewolf lord who was being eaten.

That howling announced the death of the werewolf lord and was filled with the power of fear, the first ability of the Stigmata.

“Keureu……”

“Keureureu……”

All the werewolves in the camp knelt before Seun and bowed their heads.

Perfect obedience.

The sight of those proud werewolves collectively obeying one human was quite a sight.

– The Trial of the 54th floor, ‘Eternal Battlefield,’ has been successfully completed.

– Calculating contribution points…….

– Hidden quest ‘Absolute Obedience’ completed.

– Hidden quest ‘Broken Wildness’ completed.

…….

All the monster camps bowed their heads to Seun. Bowing their heads was the same as acknowledging Seun.

The Trial of the 54th floor ended and the settlement proceeded quickly.

However, Seun’s interest was not in that.

“As expected, actual combat was more effective.”

The reasoning I had thought about using various methods in the residence was correct.

When I used the Stigmata against the enemy, the monsters, in a real situation rather than a sparring match, the speed at which I digested the Giant’s Might was much faster.

Well, the number of werewolves here alone was hundreds.

It was a natural result since I had scattered the power of fear to all of them.

Thanks to expending the power of the Stigmata, the divinity was almost bottomed out.

‘If it’s this much, I think I can absorb the Giant’s Might meaningfully around the 60th floor.’

When I thought of the Giant’s gaze I had encountered before, I became even more excited.

Now that I had figured out how to properly digest the Giant’s Might, I was planning to use the Stigmata as much as possible in the next trial.

Just as I was wondering how to use the power of the Stigmata more effectively.

– Master. I woke up.

“Turiek?”

I heard Turiek’s voice, which had been quiet for a while.

She didn’t even call separately, but she turned the Stigmata purple on her own and appeared in front of Seun.

Ruin wagged his tail as if he was happy to see Turiek after a long time.

– My request. You’ll listen to it, right?

“Of course.”

The Giant’s Might was important, but Turiek’s request could not be ignored. Her power had been a great help to Seun so far, and it would definitely be a great help in the future.

At Seun’s answer, she fluttered her wings as if she was in a good mood, then lowered her head shyly and continued speaking.

– My request. What it is.

At the same time as her request, the settlement of the 54th floor was completed and the Trial of the 55th floor was beginning.
