I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 432

Chapter 432

[You have perfectly cleared the Hidden Dungeon, ‘Misty Forest’.]

[Your personal contribution points have increased by 100,000 as a reward.]

[You have acquired ‘Essence of Mist’.]

When Seun and Lee Haneul exited the dungeon, the Giant Arrun, which had stood tall enough to touch the sky, had already withered like a rotten tree and collapsed.

“Uh… so. We did that, right?”

“…Probably.”

It wasn’t uncommon for a dungeon to affect the trial itself.

Before his regression, Seun had explored more dungeons than any other player, so he had seen similar cases before.

Especially rare dungeons. When clearing important dungeons directly related to the trial, the trial itself would sometimes change like this.

But not to this extent.

‘Back then, at most, one type of monster would disappear or one environmental element would change.’

The Giant Arrun is the main pillar of the 62nd floor’s trial.

To think that such a pillar would collapse.

He had expected it, but seeing the collapsed Giant Arrun with his own eyes made him think of Tuning’s face.

He was exclusively marking Seun, so he must have already witnessed the collapsed Arrun, and the management office must be in chaos.

‘And to think the guild trait would activate too.’

– You have destroyed the ‘Calamitous Flower Arrun’ in the Shaking Forest, the trial of the 62nd floor.

– The Diablo Guild’s trait ‘Savior of Destruction’ is strengthened.

This was the message that appeared before Seun and Lee Haneul as soon as they exited the dungeon.

Calamitous Flower Arrun.

Unlike the Sacred Flower, which is the essence of Arrun that appeared as a reward for the dungeon, it probably refers to the giant Arrun of the 62nd floor, which has been corrupted by greed.

Seeing that the trials of the Tower have the characteristics of a destroyed dimension, it occurred to him that the source that destroyed this dimension might have been Arrun.

“Oh? Isn’t that Baekhyun?”

“It is. There’s no one else here who could be commanding that many undead.”

Now that all the players are avoiding Arrun due to the aftermath of its collapse, there was only one person sticking by Arrun’s side.

Baekhyun.

It looked as if he was giving attack commands to the already collapsed Arrun.

“Baekhyun!”

“Ah, you’re both here. Did you two take it down? Haha, you’re amazing!”

“It just happened that way. By the way, what are you doing right now?”

“I was doing some experiments.”

“Experiments?”

“It would be faster to show you. Can you see this?”

When Baekhyun flicked his finger, dozens of purple vines burst through the ground.

Having faced numerous monsters while passing through the Shaking Forest, they could easily recognize that they were plant-type monsters.

“As you can see, I have succeeded in completely controlling plant-type undead. So…”

“Don’t tell me, you’re turning Arrun into an undead?”

“You figured it out right away! That’s right. Even if it’s the main pillar of the trial, isn’t it still just a monster after all?”

“Even so…”

“I know it’s absurd. But you never know until you check, right?”

“So, are there any results?”

“Well, I’m actually a bit skeptical. The more I experiment, the more I think this isn’t the main body. It’s like this whole thing is just an outer shell.”

Baekhyun rested his chin on his hand and looked up at Arrun.

Even Seun could agree with Baekhyun’s words now, if not before.

The Arrun that was rotting black on the ground was just the corrupted body of the Sacred Flower Arrun he had seen at the end of the dungeon.

No, even if he had the main body in front of him, he didn’t think he could turn Arrun into an undead.

“It’s a shame, but I’m thinking of ending the experiment here. But now that Arrun has fallen, I wonder what will happen to the trial.”

This was also something Seun was curious about.

How will the management office resolve this situation?

“Well, it’s simple.”

In fact, there was an expected answer.

– The ‘Calamitous Flower Arrun’ of the Shaking Forest, the trial of the 62nd floor, has fallen, granting all players in the trial the qualification to pass the trial.

– All players will be forcibly moved to the next trial after 10 hours.

– It is recommended to finish your preparations and move voluntarily before then.

“They’ll send all the players away and prepare to restore or change the trial.”

Unless this was a crucial turning point like the trials of the 65th or 70th floors, there was no reason to be picky about the trial on the 62nd floor.

From the management office’s point of view, this was the way to solve the problem with the least risk.

“Seun, what are you going to do?”

“I’m going up right away.”

He had spent more time on this floor than he had thought.

Seun was planning to visit the Demon God of Lust soon, and he had various plans such as visiting the Garden of Eternity, so he couldn’t afford to waste time.

His current goal was to finish all his schedules and arrive at the trial on the 70th floor no later than his guild members.

“Then I should go up too. I don’t think there’s anything left for me to gather alone anymore.”

“I’ll go up with you. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of monsters are on the next floor.”

“Okay.”

– You have excellently completed the trial of the 62nd floor, ‘Shaking Forest’.

– Calculating contribution points…

– Hidden Dungeon ‘Rotten Root’ cleared.

– Hidden Quest ‘Calamitous Flower Arrun’ completed.

– Hidden Dungeon ‘Arrun’s Root Prison’ cleared.

– Total accumulated contribution points: 2,650,000 points

– Congratulations! You have passed the trial of the 62nd floor in 1st place.

– You have acquired 100,000 points as a reward.

As soon as he finished speaking, all three of them shouted that they had passed the trial.

Along with that, system messages appeared.

Thanks to clearing so many dungeons, and especially those related to Arrun that he cleared last, the result was naturally 1st place.

He had only gone up one floor, but he had gained a whopping two million six hundred and fifty thousand contribution points.

Seeing Lee Haneul’s eyes widen next to him, she must have gained a lot of contribution points as well.

“We’ll be randomly assigned to the next trial too, right?”

Lee Haneul muttered regretfully, but even if they were assigned to the same place, Seun was planning to leave alone.

Traveling together would hinder his companions’ growth, and Seun had many things he needed to find on his own.

As they left the trial of the 62nd floor, their vision gradually darkened.

But.

Twitch-

Was it just his imagination?

At the end of his darkening vision, he faintly saw Arrun’s stem twitching.

With all the fruits harvested, the petals of the Sacred Flower plucked, and even the sinners who had been its nourishment gone, there was no way Arrun’s stem would move.

Could it be that Baekhyun’s experiment had succeeded?

‘…That’s impossible.’

Turning the Giant Arrun into an undead? That’s absurd, isn’t it?

Seun closed his eyes as he felt the slight motion sickness that came with the start of the inter-trial movement.

“Tuning, you were right.”

“You seem to be doing fine, considering the main pillar of the trial has collapsed.”

“I personally didn’t like it. That Calamitous Flower.”

The management office that manages the trial of the 62nd floor.

Immediately after Arrun collapsed, this place was naturally in chaos.

All the employees were running around busily to deal with the current situation, and the giant monitor was flooded with complaints from the Constellations.

“What are you planning to do?”

“The manual says that initialization is the answer, but I’m not sure. You know that we haven’t been able to contact the higher-ups lately.”

“That’s right.”

“There won’t be any big problems. However, if that player does something like this on the 70th floor, then we’ll have a real problem.”

Thanks to preparing for the worst-case scenario after listening to Tuning’s words, the situation was calming down faster than expected.

That didn’t mean they could immediately revive the collapsed Arrun, but it wouldn’t lead to a big problem.

“By the way, what have you been looking at since earlier?”

While all the managers were focused on the trial of the 62nd floor, Tuning was alone, looking at something else on his personal screen.

The team leader of the management office peeked his head out of curiosity, and saw a sandstorm raging on the personal screen that couldn’t be seen on the 62nd floor.

“Hmm? If it’s sand, isn’t that Scavenger?”

“That’s right.”

“Why are you suddenly looking at Scavenger? It’s not even related to your work.”

“Yes, it’s not related. However, while watching Player Jeong Seun’s recent actions, I noticed a suspicious direction, so I looked around…”

“Suspicious?”

“Can you see this?”

Tuning pointed to somewhere in the desert.

A small oasis was spread out over the desert where the sandstorm was raging. The strange thing was…

“…A black oasis?”

“Yes. It’s not sinking even though the sandstorm is raging like this. It even seems to twitch and move sometimes.”

“Then, that thing that you’ve been monitoring and disposing of recently…”

“Yes, I think it resembles an Outer [an entity from outside the known dimensions].”

“Then isn’t that even stranger? There’s no reason for those guys to suddenly be discovered on the 10th floor, not even a high floor.”

“That’s why I’m more worried.”

Tuning moved his finger and turned the screen. There was a giant vortex of sand that was constantly raging in the Scavenger’s desert.

It was swirling the sand in place as usual, but somehow the swirling wind seemed more ferocious than usual.

“I’m worried that a big change will suddenly happen on the 10th floor, where even the managers don’t pay much attention.”

– Welcome to the trial of the 63rd floor.

– Theme: Swarming Forest

– Whether it’s day or night. This place is full of the sounds of insects.

– Among the many insects, there are good insects that grow flowers and move seeds, but there are also pests that rot the forest and rot the land.

– Show goodwill to the forest, and erase the pests of the forest to challenge the next trial.

He had arrived at the next trial, but all he could see was a vast forest, just like the previous trial.

However, as the content of the trial told him, the sounds of insects were so loud that they were deafening.

“It looks like this trial is going to be done together?”

“I guess so. Ah, according to the guild chat, the others seem to be gathering in one place for now. Would you like to go with us, Seun?”

The trial of the 63rd floor, Swarming Forest.

It seemed like a light trial to erase pests, but this trial was a combat-focused trial that was conducted in the form of a small raid [a coordinated attack on a specific target].

As it was difficult to challenge alone, the trial also recommended group hunting by starting players at similar points.

But.

“No. Say hello to Yoo Seoa for me.”

“You’re going alone again.”

“Okay. We’ll join the guild for now. Ah, do you have anything to tell her?”

“Anything to tell her…”

Seun shook his head.

He knew that she would lead the Diablo Guild better than Seun.

Even if he didn’t give any hints about the trial, they would be able to pass this trial faster than anyone else.

Even so, if there was anything to tell her…

“Beware of the red pests… No, tell her that if she’s confident, she might want to look for the red pests.”

“Okay. Be careful too, Seun.”
