Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 382

“Did I do well?”

“You did great. Really.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, really.”

Seun stroked Turek’s head as she panted, seemingly exhausted.

He had only expected her to show the Dragon Fear she displayed during the 53rd floor’s trial, but he never imagined she could recreate Lucifer’s aura of oppression here.

“Aren’t you tired?”

“I’m okay. It’s just because I overdid it for the first time in a while. I’m fine now.”

“You can rest a bit, you know.”

“No. I’m really okay. I want to stay a little longer.”

“Alright. Tell me anytime if it gets tough.”

“Okay.”

Turek’s power is extraordinary.

Combined with Seun’s stigma, it manifested an astonishingly potent fear, greatly aiding in assimilating the Giant’s Essence.

In fact, the speed at which he absorbed the Giant’s Essence more than doubled after she helped.

Even so, the size of the Essence was so immense that it was only a negligible amount in terms of overall proportion.

“Then I’ll hold off on the wings. Just help me out at the next camp.”

“I’m fine, though.”

“I need to recover my Divinity anyway.”

“Sorry.”

“No, it’s because my Divinity is lacking.”

It wasn’t a lie. If Seun had more Divinity to spare, Turek could unleash her power even more freely.

Fortunately, his Divinity was increasing much faster than before since he started absorbing the Giant’s Essence.

Even now, the empty stigma was filling up incredibly quickly thanks to absorbing the Giant’s Essence.

Tadat!

Even though Divinity was recovering quickly, it couldn’t keep up with Seun’s consumption.

He needed to conserve Divinity to use the power of fear.

Since Turek’s wings, as well as Ruin’s running, required Divinity as fuel, Seun chose to run on foot.

It was slower than flying in the sky, but thanks to the Journey Guide, he quickly found the next monster camp.

“The stigma is reacting to the Blood Wolf Legend’s tale.”

“The stigma’s first ability, ‘Fear,’ awakens.”

Utilizing Turek’s power.

“Victory against the Poisonous Frog Breeding Ground.”

“Victory against the Troll Rock Mountain.”

…….

He relentlessly subjugated the monster camps he found.

What Seun asked of Turek during this time was different from when they faced the Lizardman Chieftain.

“Focus on efficiency. Don’t waste Divinity, just use what’s necessary.”

“Okay. I’ll try. I can do it.”

It couldn’t be helped when she recreated Lucifer’s aura of oppression, but Turek basically couldn’t control her power properly. Because of this, she tended to use more Divinity than necessary.

Now that she could unleash her power to her heart’s content, he intended to solve that problem.

“How is it?”

“Is that all you can do for the range? If possible, it would be better to adjust it according to the enemy’s formation rather than simply spreading it out in a circle.”

“I can do it. I’ll do it that way.”

Turek was enthusiastic. The passive attitude she showed when they first met had disappeared, and she adjusted her power according to Seun’s request.

She even seemed to be enjoying it.

Perhaps, as she told Seun earlier, it was because she could now freely use the power she had been suppressing?

In human terms, it was like having the shackles that had been binding her hands her whole life removed, allowing her to use her arms freely.

“This one seems quite useful.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Ride it.”

“No. Use my wings.”

“I told you to conserve your strength. You have bigger things to do, right?”

“Still.”

“Please.”

“……Okay. I understand.”

While searching for monster camps, he found a quite useful monster.

It was a type of gargoyle, but unlike the small, common gargoyles, this one was a chieftain, so it was large enough to ride.

Even so, it was a chieftain. It wasn’t going to easily lower its pride and let an intruder ride on its back.

The same was true even when using Turek’s power.

Even in a situation where it was trembling, having succumbed to fear and burying its head in the ground, it didn’t move its wings.

It was as if it would rather be killed on the spot.

Toward such a creature, Seun raised his hand.

“The Vault of Greed is opened.”

[ Monster Taming ]

“A Black Tower mind control magic that manipulates a monster’s mind to make it obey. As a mental magic, the formulas and usage conditions are very 까다로워 [kkadarowo, difficult or picky], so it is classified as an advanced magic despite being a low-circle magic.”

Mind control magic, Monster Taming.

It seemed like a convenient magic to subjugate monsters and make them obey, but as written in the description, its usage was very 까다롭다 [kkadaropda, difficult].

Basically, the monster had to be thoroughly subjugated to the point of obliterating its reason, and different formulas had to be cited depending on the monster.

However, it was not a problem for Seun.

He had already obliterated the creature’s reason with the power of fear, and thanks to using Mammon’s treasures, all the formulas were in his head.

“Master… nim……”

Flap-

The gargoyle’s eyes blurred, and soon it called Seun its master.

Confirming that the black magic had worked properly, Seun climbed onto its back, and the sturdy wings flapped, soaring into the air.

Riding this creature, he wouldn’t have to worry about Divinity, internal energy, or mana.

Moreover, its basic movement speed was faster than Seun’s running, so there was nothing more to say.

“It’s slower than me.”

“That’s right, it’s slower than you.”

Turek didn’t like it, but she had something more important to do than flying.

“The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is disappointed that it cannot eat rock candy.”

Tteugeom.

It was clear that it had been perfectly brainwashed, but somehow, he felt like the gargoyle’s body trembled slightly.

Anyway, thanks to the gargoyle flying diligently, the speed of subjugating monster camps accelerated even further.

He could feel the Giant’s Essence being digested immediately.

Of course, it wasn’t perfect.

“Are you really okay?”

“Yeah……. Really.”

Turek looked tired.

She was getting used to using her power and enjoying it herself, but he could feel the limits of her stamina.

Even if that wasn’t the case, Seun wasn’t in a situation where he could waste his power either.

At first, he was 빨빨거렸 [ppalppalgeoryeot, running around energetically], trusting the speed at which Divinity recovered, but as time passed, the stigma seemed to accumulate fatigue, and the recovery speed of Divinity slowed down.

Honestly, the gargoyle’s speed was almost meaningless now.

Still, it was more comfortable than running himself, so he intended to keep riding it throughout this trial.

In the meantime.

“Hmm?”

He saw a structure that didn’t exist in Seun’s memory.

Even Seun, who had the Journey Guide, didn’t remember every place on the 55th floor, but this was different.

If it was such a unique structure, he couldn’t have forgotten it, and he couldn’t have failed to discover it.

Above all…….

‘Why isn’t it reacting?’

The Journey Guide wasn’t reacting at all.

What Seun was looking for now was a monster camp, so the fact that the Journey Guide wasn’t reacting meant that the structure wasn’t a monster camp, but…….

If it was a Hidden Piece, it wasn’t that either.

There was no way the Journey Guide would ignore a Hidden Piece that existed so openly.

“Wow, it’s tall. What is that?”

“I don’t know……”

As Turek said, the structure visible in the distance was very tall. It was even taller than Seun’s eye level while flying on the gargoyle.

And above all, he could confirm that the structure became subtly taller as he got closer.

That is to say.

‘Is it still being built?’

Someone was building that structure. No, that tower.

There was no way a monster would be building such a tower, so that meant a player was building the tower.

‘But why?’

While he was bewildered by the unexpected situation in front of him, the name of a player who could build a tower of that size came to mind.

The twin sisters.

Just in case, he opened the guild chat and saw the twins chattering about building a tower.

Even so, to build such a tall tower.

Unlike combat personnel such as Yoo Seoa, Kang Hancheol, and Baek Hyeon, he hadn’t properly guessed the skills of the production players.

Looking at it this way, their level was also far beyond that of ordinary players.

“Wow, Oppaaaaa!”

It seemed they had discovered Seun from over there, as they were shouting and waving their hands.

Seun had enhanced eyesight compared to other players, so he recognized them first, but they probably couldn’t see Seun properly yet.

Thinking that, Seun landed on the top of the tower with the gargoyle.

“Wow, you’re riding something weird this time? Cute!”

“How did you know?”

“Well, you’re the only one who would be flying around like that here, right? Wow, it’s really cute. Can’t I decorate my tower with it?”

“There’s no reason why you can’t……”

“Awesome! I have to brag to my sister!”

Han Areum touched the gargoyle that Seun was riding here and there, then jumped up and down, delighted.

She was tapping her hands in the air, probably contacting Han Dawoon directly through the guild chat.

“But why are you building this tower?”

“Huh? Because it’s cool, of course! Ah, Oppa! I even got ‘Recognition’ with this?”

“From the monsters?”

“Yeah! Can you see the monsters down there?”

Seun looked down.

It was incredibly high, but thanks to the telescope Han Areum had installed, he could see clearly below.

Below, there was a group of monsters kneeling towards the tower.

“They came and prayed when I built over halfway? The trial was broken with that, too!”

“Then what about the next trial?”

“There’s a similar group on the other side! One group is done with that, and they’re combining their strength to attack the surrounding camps?”

It was a trial strategy that Seun had never even considered.

Perhaps this suddenly appearing tower felt like the Tower of Babel to those monsters?

Thanks to that, Han Areum was able to easily conquer the trials of the 54th and 55th floors just by diligently building the tower.

He heard that she had already met the passing conditions for the 55th floor, but she was staying behind to continue building higher for the height competition with Han Dawoon.

“The constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ murmurs that it is natural for the lower beings to look up to high places.”

“The constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ boasts about its contractor, saying that the more ‘Black Beak’ rises, the more lower beings will raise their heads.”

‘It seems a waste to throw it away after building it this high.’

A tower of this size is likely to receive a grade rating like an item as soon as it is completed.

Even with Halphas’s authority, he wouldn’t be able to shrink and carry around a tower of this size.

Of course, just completing the tower would affect the twin sisters’ skill improvement, but it still felt like a waste.

And then.

“Areum-ah.”

“Yes?”

“Could you possibly remodel this tower the way I tell you to?”

“The constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ listens to your opinion.”

“The constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ hopes that the opinion will be the finishing touch of ‘Black Beak.'”

Finishing touch.

Yes, the finishing touch to be 찍어낼 [jjigeonael, to stamp out/produce mechanically] at the end of this tower came to Seun’s mind.
