Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 40

I Plundered the Demon God’s Vault – 40

Chapter 40

-You have successfully passed the Trial of the Forest of Screams.

-2,000 points are awarded to all participants.

After Se-un joined, the speed of clearing obstacles called Screaming Trees increased, and the final trial ended safely.

Of course, Se-un was the only one who knew that this was the last trial of the second chapter of the tutorial.

“Ugh, it’s finally over!”

“I thought my eardrums were going to burst.”

“That aside, it was so hard because of the trees blocking the way.”

“Great job, everyone!”

After the trial, they took some time to reorganize.

They organized the materials obtained from the Forest of Screams and took time for treatment and meals.

Even though they had been tormented by sharp screams that seemed to prick their brains, people quickly returned to their bright expressions.

Was it because their skills had improved, or because the type of tutorial had changed?

Compared to the Monster Wave, the pressure was less, and their confidence had greatly increased.

That’s not to say they became arrogant.

Everyone knew what kind of results arrogance had brought in the Monster Wave.

“Il-jung, you worked hard too.”

“No, it’s thanks to everyone’s consideration that it wasn’t too difficult.”

“You don’t have to feel too pressured. Everyone acknowledges Il-jung and his group.”

The people Se-un rescued from the goblin village were also adapting well to the clan.

As expected, were they elites who had passed through the Monster Wave? Their skills were outstanding enough to stand out in the clan, except for the main forces like Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol.

They were also proactive in doing chores such as butchering and cooking.

“Is it going well?”

“Well, it’s more difficult than I thought. There are many differences from the anatomy I know, so it will take a little more time.”

Se-un approached Baek-hyun and spoke to him.

While others were stretching their legs and resting during their break, he was staring intently at the corpse of the manticore on the wagon.

Contrary to saying it was difficult, his face was smiling. He must have been feeling interested in the corpse of a monster he was encountering for the first time.

Looking at him like that, he really seemed like a born necromancer.

Besides.

-The Constellation, ‘The Steed Who Tramples Death,’ is very pleased and happily neighs, saying that it seems okay to examine the tail now.

The Constellation, Gamigin, attached to Baek-hyun’s side, seemed to be favorably viewing his skills as well.

Since the subject was the corpse of a manticore, I was worried that the time limit might be too tight, but seeing Gamigin’s reaction, I thought it might end sooner than expected.

The moment Se-un turned his back, satisfied with Baek-hyun’s talent, someone blocked the sunlight from behind Se-un.

There is only one person in Se-un’s clan with such a large build.

“I request a sparring match.”

“Ah, me too! I’ll be right there after solving the food problem, so please wait a moment.”

Kang Han-cheol.

As soon as the trial ended, he appeared as if he had been waiting.

It might be annoying that he comes to ask for a sparring match whenever he has free time, but Se-un rather liked him.

Outstanding hardware and passion.

Thanks to those two things, Kang Han-cheol’s skills were increasing insanely fast.

Yoo Seo-ah was the same.

After learning dual swordsmanship from Se-un, she seemed to have realized her shortcomings and had been applying for sparring matches with Kang Han-cheol.

Both of them had such high potential that Se-un also found it fun to teach them.

However.

“Let’s postpone it today.”

Se-un, who always nodded and raised his fist, refused the sparring match for the first time, and Kang Han-cheol’s face was filled with disappointment.

‘Come to think of it, was today the day I was supposed to teach him the Mind Skill?’

It’s understandable that he’s impatient.

Although it wasn’t greatly revealed outwardly, Kang Han-cheol’s interest in Mind Skill had been enormous from the moment he witnessed Se-un’s martial arts using internal energy [qi or ki].

But not now.

“Why?”

“It seems like we’re about to arrive at our destination.”

“…I understand. Then, I’ll ask you after we arrive at our destination.”

“Okay.”

As expected, Kang Han-cheol.

Anyone else would have asked how he knew they were about to arrive at their destination, but he quietly nodded and stepped back.

Se-un liked this part of Kang Han-cheol the most.

Hiding the truth about the regression from someone with curiosity and making excuses was quite annoying.

Yoo Seo-ah, who heard from Kang Han-cheol that the sparring match was canceled, was also disappointed.

Before long, the movement started again.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a plain.”

“Is it another monster ambush?”

“Honestly, that’s more comfortable now than passing through the Forest of Screams or the Acidic Swamp.”

“That’s true.”

People looked at the open plains and felt relieved.

Even if it was an ambush, there was no need to worry because Park Jung-pil was quickly scouting the area on Baek-rang.

At first, he was a bit unreliable, but now he was used to bringing back information without being detected by the enemy most of the time.

And this time as well.

“Hyung-nim [term of respect for an older brother or male friend], it’s the enemy! It’s a monster!”

Park Jung-pil brought the current situation of the road ahead.

“How many?”

“Well, it’s a bit ambiguous to say the number.”

Park Jung-pil looked embarrassed.

Se-un already knew this, but others couldn’t understand what this meant.

Yoo Seo-ah asked again, and Park Jung-pil continued to explain.

“It’s not like an ambush. It just feels like a monster’s territory? There are just monsters everywhere. Like a hunting ground in a game.”

“Could it be some kind of subjugation trial? Like we have to break through the monsters…”

“And there was something else strange.”

“What is it?”

“Well, I couldn’t go deeper because I was afraid of being detected. But when I got closer, the arrow was pointing downwards?”

“Pointing down…? Then, could it be!”

Yoo Seo-ah’s eyes widened as if she had realized something.

Se-un, who already knew this fact, smiled and took out his weapon.

“We’ve arrived.”

[Tutorial Second Chapter – Movement]

-Successfully arrived at the destination.

-4,000 points are awarded to all participants in the wave.

-Congratulations! You have successfully completed the second chapter of the tutorial!

-The second chapter of the tutorial was completed in 54 hours and 41 minutes.

-The arrival time to the destination was greatly reduced, so an additional 4,000 points are provided to all participants in the tutorial!

“Did we really arrive?”

“It’s over! We passed this time too!”

The moment the arrow sharply tilted and formed a right angle, Yoo Seo-ah’s prediction came true, and the second chapter of the tutorial came to an end.

Thanks to going straight ahead without avoiding a single trial, the arrival time was greatly reduced, and many achievement points could be obtained.

However, while everyone was happy, Se-un was making a regretful expression alone.

‘It seems like I’m not in first place.’

As far as Se-un knew, there were additional achievement points in the second chapter according to the ranking.

But now, instead of mentioning the ranking in the system window, there was only mention of the shortened time.

This meant that someone else had already finished the second chapter before him.

Unlike Se-un’s clan, there must be a party that went straight to the destination without even packing their luggage.

It was a bit disappointing, but.

‘Still, it’s more of a loss compared to the hidden piece [special reward or item].’

The amount of achievement points Se-un obtained with the hidden piece was much higher than the achievement points obtained by ranking.

“But what should we do from now on?”

People’s murmurs were heard.

In the meantime, an unidentified monster’s roar was heard loudly from the front.

“Kueeee-!!”

Turning his head, there were many monsters in the field, just like Park Jung-pil’s information.

A bear with an owl’s head, an owl bear. A werewolf, a wolf man, revealing long claws and prowling around. A dwarf with a body made of dirt, a gnome, etc.

They insisted on their positions thoroughly, as if they couldn’t see the other monsters around them.

The appearance was perfect for what Park Jung-pil called a ‘hunting ground.’

At that time, a system message popped up to solve people’s questions.

-Additional benefits will occur during the remaining time due to the shortened arrival time to the destination.

-You can secure a position during the remaining time.

-1.5 times additional achievement points are provided when hunting monsters during the remaining time.

-Remaining time until ‘Tutorial Third Chapter – Conflict’: 113 hours 17 minutes

“Conflict? Secure a position? I don’t understand what you mean…”

“Seo-ah, what should we do?”

“Hmm…”

There was no explanation for the third tutorial. The only information that could be known was the name ‘Conflict.’

It was good that they provided additional achievement points when hunting monsters, but except for Se-un, no one cared much about achievement points.

Because of this, Yoo Seo-ah couldn’t answer easily.

Whether to enjoy a break here and wait for the third tutorial. Or to acquire additional achievement points and move forward.

Just when everyone was waiting for Yoo Seo-ah’s choice.

“Se-un?”

Se-un stepped forward and reached out to the monster.

Soon, white frost began to form around Se-un.

The temperature quickly dropped, and the size of the frost gradually increased, becoming countless ice picks.

[Frozen Wave]

– As an ice-type attack magic of the Blue Tower, it creates a cold and sharp wave of ice to attack the enemy.

The first time using 3rd Circle magic after the creation of the third circle.

As Se-un’s circle foundation was the ‘Blue Tower’s Training Method,’ using the Blue Tower’s magic felt incredibly stable.

Moreover, with the mysteries of the Black Tower overlapping on top of that.

-The power of ‘Frozen Wave’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Black Tower.

The transparent ice picks were dyed black.

The shimmering cold air also began to contain black energy.

It seemed that the dark attribute power was received the most because two of the three circles accepted the mysteries of the Black Tower.

Soon after, the moment Se-un tightly clenched his widely spread fist.

Pa-ba-ba-bat!

Along with the chilling cold, the black spikes quickly flew towards the monster.

The number of ice shards was too many to count with the eyes, and the cold was so cold that it instantly froze even the grass leaves swaying in the wind.

Of course, the monsters that touched this.

“Keu-uh…”

Just before their bodies froze, they had to freeze coldly, leaving only a very short groan.

The ice picks that rushed in as soon as their bodies froze shattered the monster’s body, and the floor was filled with only the hardened remains of the monster.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ reveals his expectations for a cool prey, saying that this is another new cooking method!

“During the remaining time, we go as deep as possible.”

People swallowed their saliva at Se-un’s eyes, which looked colder than the cold that pricked their skin.
