Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 395

Chapter 399

“…So, we’ve been scheduled for a Guild War against the Black Cross.”

Standing before all the Diablo Guild members, Se-un brought up the topic of the Guild War against the Black Cross.

Kang Han-cheol quietly nodded, but the others didn’t.

A Guild War that Se-un had decided and announced on his own.

Even if it was a Guild War, such unilateral action felt like he was disregarding the Guild members.

Knowing this well, Se-un rarely lowered his head before them.

“I won’t make excuses. There are various reasons, but it’s largely for my own benefit. So…”

They had been conquering the Tower’s trials up to the 60th floor, but a Guild War was completely different from those trials.

Even if the Diablo Guild had fought against the Black Wings, that was just an isolated skirmish.

A formal Guild War required much more thought and preparation.

As Se-un was about to explain his plans to take responsibility for this.

“Black Cross…”

Yu Seo-ah, who had been listening to Se-un’s explanation, stepped forward.

Even though she was the Vice Guild Master, she seemed to be in a good mood, despite only being informed of this news after the Guild War was decided, which could have upset her.

“That’s a relief. I was wondering if I would have to just stand by and watch those guys while I was at Death Hill.”

She gripped the handles of her twin swords.

The leather of the handles twisted as if in pain, indicating she had suffered a lot from the Black Cross as well.

And starting with her, other Guild members began to voice their reactions.

“Ah~ I was about to die of frustration!”

“I was just staying quiet, thinking I might cause trouble for the Guild Leader!”

“If I had known this would happen, I would have smacked them a long time ago!”

“Yeah, that’s our Guild Leader! There’s no way he would just take it, right?”

It wasn’t just one or two people reacting.

Everyone was enthusiastically cheering for Se-un’s decision.

It wasn’t intentional, but it seemed the grievances they had suffered from the Black Cross had played a bigger role than expected.

“But what is a Guild War?”

“It seems different from when those black guys attacked us.”

As the commotion subsided a bit, the Guild members began to ask about the Guild War.

In response, Se-un began to explain what he knew about Guild Wars.

Honestly, Se-un had never participated in a Guild War as a Guild member before his regression, as he had always been active without joining a Guild, but he had participated as a mercenary.

The roadmap of his journey could play a big role even in Guild Wars.

“Guild Wars take place within the dedicated residences of the two Guilds.”

“Huh? So one side enters the other’s residence?”

“The moment a Guild War starts, the residences of the two Guilds temporarily merge. The direction and distance are all randomly selected.”

“So, both Guilds can prepare traps or defenses in advance?”

“That’s right.”

Se-un nodded.

Currently, the Diablo Guild’s residence only had facilities for rest, so there was almost no preparation for a Guild War.

“Oh, it’s finally our turn to use our strength!”

“Those soot-covered guys are all dead!”

As long as the twin sisters were there, there was no need to worry about defense facilities.

However, they had recently used up most of their materials, so it was decided to distribute contribution points to purchase materials.

“How do you win a Guild War?”

“There are two main ways to win. The side that achieves one of them first wins.”

“Two ways?”

“The first is to kill the Guild Leader. In this case, that would be me.”

“You have me, Park Jung-pil, your right-hand man, Guild Leader! Don’t worry!”

“Just don’t get in the way.”

“Ugh…”

“What’s the second way?”

“The second is to destroy the core that appears when the Guild War starts.”

“Core?”

“It’s a fist-sized gem also known as the Guild Stone. Therefore, the key to a Guild War is the safety of the Guild Leader and the protection of the Guild Stone.”

“I see. The Guild Leader, who is the greatest force, is at risk…”

“For reference, it’s impossible to take the Guild Stone outside the Guild residence. The location of the opposing Guild Stone is revealed to the Guild Leader at regular intervals, so hiding it doesn’t mean much.”

“So, you can’t just recklessly attack the opposing Guild if there’s a difference in power? If you get your base stolen while you’re away, you’re done for.”

“That’s right.”

The process of a Guild War is quite complicated.

It’s overwhelmingly disadvantageous to move to attack the opponent’s formation first, so most Guilds tend to adopt a defensive posture and confront each other.

That’s why powerful Archmages with strong firepower or Assassins with excellent stealth skills were tremendous assets in Guild Wars in the past.

Pouring high-powered magic from outside the range or infiltrating the opposing Guild to assassinate key figures was a classic and top-notch strategy.

Of course, we also have an Assassin… or a similar type of Guild member.

“Guild Leader, why are you looking at me like that? Isn’t it true that you only have me, Park Jung-pil? Haha!”

It’s hard to trust that guy.

No, even if I did trust him, it would be impossible for him to infiltrate the enemy camp alone with his personality.

“We should start by planning a strategy.”

“But they’re a large Guild, right? Wouldn’t they attack us first? I think it’s better to focus on defense first.”

“No.”

Se-un shook his head.

He had never witnessed a Guild War, but he roughly knew what kind of power the Black Cross used.

If Se-un’s guess was correct.

“They will never attack us first. They will only focus on defensive warfare.”

“Are you that sure? But then wouldn’t it just drag on without a conclusion?”

“No, we can’t leave them alone. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.”

“…Are they using some kind of trick?”

“That’s right. I already have something in mind, so let’s share their expected strategy first.”

“Okay.”

Se-un is powerful.

He can play the role of the Archmage mentioned earlier, and he can also play the role of the Assassin.

Moreover, even if he moved alone and was surrounded by enemies, he was confident that he could somehow escape.

However, the power that the Black Cross uses was too difficult to overcome alone.

Now is the time to combine the strength of the Guild members.

But….

‘Where is Arcana?’

Arcana hadn’t been seen since entering Death Hill.

She had always been capricious, but she always tried to stay by Se-un’s side.

Could it be that she was already tired of this life and returned to Lilac?

Many questions arose.

“Let’s go to the Guild residence and talk first.”

“Yes!”

For now, it’s time to focus on the Guild War with the Black Cross.

* * *

There are 5 days left until the Guild War with the Black Cross.

Until then, everyone in the Diablo Guild was busy preparing for the Guild War.

“Here, try this on. I got a good material this time and made something, and it turned out to be perfect for you.”

“Oh, thank you, Elder!”

“How’s the fit?”

“Do you even need to ask? It’s perfect since you made it, Elder! I’ll wear it gratefully.”

“Haha, but don’t be too precious with it. Weapons are happiest when they’re faithfully performing their role.”

“Of course!”

Go Chang-seok began to forge new items using the materials that the Diablo Guild members had obtained from the trials or bought at the auction house.

He modified existing weapons or created new ones, making each one to fit the characteristics of the Guild members, and of course, the sizes were also made by perfectly analyzing their body types and combat styles.

Se-un was also able to reorganize his equipment with his help.

The light armor made mainly from the dragon bones he had recently obtained was sturdy and flexible, perfectly assisting Se-un’s free movements.

“I’ve made enough basic health recovery potions. Wound and internal injury recovery potions are also ready, and the detoxification potions still need to be tested, but the test subject is…”

“Use it on this guy.”

“Ugh, Guild Leader!”

“Ah, thank you. To check the detoxification, you need to be poisoned first, so would you like to drink this first?”

“No, I don’t waaaant! Ugh! Ueeeek! Cough! Hack!”

– The Constellation, ‘Bloodstained Lion,’ suggests feeding him a slightly stronger poisoning potion.

– The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Snatcher,’ laughs heartily and agrees with the suggestion.

“Hmm, I guess so. To know the exact effect of the detoxification potion, the poison’s ingredients must also be stronger. Would you like to drink this one?”

“No, I don’t waaaant! Cough! I’m dying!”

The potions to be used in the Guild War are also ready.

Iha-neul’s role in the Guild War is significant just by manufacturing potions, but her abilities don’t end there.

Given the nature of the battlefield where many people are gathered, the wide-area debuff skills she uses are powerful enough to change the landscape of the battlefield.

She has even recently developed throwable explosive potions, so now is the time to maximize her power.

“Oppa, I’m all done!”

“It’s only been five days, so I rushed to finish it, but this should be enough.”

“Really?”

“Yeah! When I built the Tower with Oppa before, my authority? It’s gotten stronger!”

“Me too, me too! At this level, no one, no, no one but our Blood Wolf Oppa can break through!”

– The Constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ puffs up her chest, saying that even the Contractor of the Demon God wouldn’t find it easy.

– The Constellation, ‘Giant Bird,’ dismisses the Black Bird, muttering excuses, saying that she’s just boasting, so just ignore her.

The Diablo Guild’s residence, which was just a residential facility, had become a huge castle.

The exterior was largely extended like the wings of a bird, and the center was sharply raised like the beak of a bird, making it quite threatening.

This time again, Se-un assisted in drawing magic circles when building the building, so the power of the residence was beyond imagination.

‘Arcana still isn’t here.’

Arcana didn’t show up even after all five days had passed.

Could it be that she really went back to Lilac? If it was the her that Se-un knew, there was no way she would miss the grand spectacle of the Guild War.

Thinking that, Se-un shook his head and moved to the appointed place.

The headquarters of the Black Cross Guild, located in Death Hill.

In front of it, Guild members including Pelches were waiting for Se-un, wearing dark hoods.

“I was worried you might run away, but I’m glad. We’ve consumed a considerable amount of ‘resources’ preparing for the Guild War.”

“I was wondering if you would hide behind someone and send a proxy, but you’re surprisingly here.”

“Ah, how could I do that? As a senior, I’m thinking of carefully teaching my juniors what a Guild War is like.”

“Stop the nonsense and let’s start right away.”

“Oh my, you’re still impatient. Well, I understand.”

The moment Se-un and Pelches faced each other, a message related to the Guild War appeared in front of them.

The content was the same as the conditions that had been shared in advance, so after a simple confirmation process, they immediately nodded.

– The Guild War between the ‘Diablo Guild’ and the ‘Black Cross Guild’ has been established.

– During the Guild War, the residences of the two Guilds will be temporarily merged.
