Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 453

I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 453

Chapter 453

The Black Wyvern is a powerful monster.

Especially in a cliff area like this, which is practically the Black Wyvern’s territory, rather than open land.

However, unfortunately for the Wyvern, it didn’t get a chance to show its power.

– You have opened the Treasure Trove of Greed.

[ Warrior’s Proof, Garrosh ]

– A double-edged axe that the Orc Lord, born once every hundred years, inherits from generation to generation.

Seun blocked its breath, and before it could launch another attack, he decapitated it.

Swish!

‘In terms of durability, it’s probably similar to Apelion, though not quite Durandal [a legendary sword in European folklore].’

Seun focused on the weapon in his hand rather than the severed head of the Black Wyvern.

Following the great scythe he made previously, this new axe, the ‘Spirit Piercing Axe,’ was crafted to replace the broken ‘Traitor’s Double-Edged Axe.’

He immediately used the Authority of Greed to assess its durability, and its performance exceeded expectations.

‘The handle is made of black adamant [an exceptionally hard substance], the grip of spirit beast leather, and the axe blade entirely from the horn of a Double Horn Rhino?’

All excellent materials known for their exceptional durability.

The downside was its weight; ordinary people couldn’t even lift the handle. But Seun’s strength was more than sufficient. In fact, the weight of the blade made it more enjoyable to swing, increasing its power, which pleased him greatly.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ chews on the Wyvern’s chewy skin.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ declares that the Black Wyvern’s long tail is a delicacy and cuts it off with a knife.

As soon as he used the Authority of Gluttony, Beelzebub’s meal began.

As the most powerful monster on the 66th floor, the stat increase was considerable, and Beelzebub seemed very satisfied.

‘There are other monsters, but…’

The goal of the 66th floor, the ‘First Branch,’ isn’t just about hunting monsters.

Seun remembered that identical branches extended in all eight directions of the tree trunk at the same height as the branch he was on.

Naturally, each of those branches had a boss monster guarding the destination, just like the Black Wyvern he had just defeated.

‘It’s good to use the Authority of Gluttony, but there’s no special reward.’

Hunting more boss monsters would earn him more contribution points after the trial, but finding a hidden dungeon on the next floor would be more beneficial.

– You have excellently completed the 66th floor trial, ‘Comfort of the World Tree.’

– Calculating contribution points…….

Seun didn’t even bother checking his contribution points. He immediately climbed onto the first branch and headed towards the next trial.

* * *

– Welcome to the 67th floor trial.

– Theme: Higher and Higher.

– Having reached the first branch of the World Tree, you have encountered an aerial ecosystem unlike anything on the ground.

– Find a passage leading to the inside of the World Tree, beyond the complexly intertwined ecosystem of the Sky Emperors.

As expected, the trial continued on the tree, but fortunately, the 67th floor trial wasn’t about climbing the tree trunk.

‘It’s quite a sight.’

Hundreds, thousands of branches intertwined above the first branch Seun was on, forming a vast expanse.

Some branches were thick and firmly rooted like the ground, while others were thin and weak, threatening to send him plummeting if he stepped on them wrong.

There were branches twisted like vines, branches that had grown so long it was impossible to see their ends, and short branches that jutted out like bumps on a pillar.

‘The branches are important, but the key to the 67th floor is the aerial ecosystem.’

Compared to the 66th floor, movement was easier, but he still had to be careful.

Falling into a hole meant game over.

And in that precarious state, he had to face the various monsters inhabiting this ‘Aerial Ecosystem.’

“Screeeeeech!”

“Ook, keek keek!”

“Pweeet-”

As soon as Seun moved, the cries of various monsters echoed from all directions.

“Ruin.”

– Grrr.

Knowing that he could be attacked at any time, from any direction, by any number of monsters, Seun summoned Ruin in advance.

Seeing that there was nothing of note in the guild chat, it seemed Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol hadn’t reached the 67th floor yet, which was to be expected.

He was curious about Arcana’s whereabouts, but he didn’t need to worry about it right now.

‘We’re supposed to meet on the 68th floor anyway.’

There was plenty of time.

Seun, having cleared this floor once before, knew where the passage mentioned in the trial description was located.

So, what Seun had to do before that was…….

‘Shall we finish what I couldn’t do before the regression?’

Explore all the hidden elements on the 67th floor.

* * *

At that moment.

“Let’s go together!”

“No way!”

“You can come up alone, stop exaggerating!”

“No, I can’t! I’m really scared! Hyung-niiiiiim!”

– The Constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Snatcher,’ clutches its stomach while watching the contractor dangling from the tree bark.

The Diablo Guild was in the middle of clearing the 66th floor trial.

They had rested sufficiently in the residence and thoroughly prepared for the next trial, but the difficulty was still significant.

Of course, joining forces would make it easier, but they didn’t.

Everyone understood that they could only grow stronger by pushing their limits while leveraging their individual strengths, even if it was challenging.

“Heh heh, this is not easy.”

“That downdraft is so annoying!”

The weapons Go Chang-seok had used as makeshift stairs were swept away by the downdraft.

The structure built by the twin sisters also collapsed after only a few minutes.

As if to prevent players from easily bypassing the challenges with strategies created by production-type players, the tree actively erased their progress.

“This tree is like it’s alive. If this is also a type of plant monster, it might be possible to zombify it!”

“Baekhyun, that’s a bit much. Arune failed, there’s no way this would work, right?”

“Haha, let’s just experiment. If it doesn’t work, we’ll just gain experience, right?”

Of course, not all guild members were acting separately.

“There, above your head!”

“Be careful!”

“Ah, ugh!”

– Player Choi Soo-chang uses ‘Tidal Wave of Dawn.’

Splash!

“Ugh, thank you!”

When unexpected crises arose, such as sudden monster attacks or falling obstacles, they helped each other.

The Diablo Guild’s individual efforts were aimed at increasing their overall strength, not fostering competition.

Even so, mistakes were inevitable in this harsh trial.

Crack!

“Ugh, ugh?”

The tree bark one of the guild members was holding onto couldn’t support his weight and broke off.

It wasn’t weak bark or a trap.

Looking closely, there was a dent next to the break, the trace of Kang Han-cheol climbing the tree with brute strength.

Unfortunately, the damaged tree bark was weakened and gave way.

At that time.

“Are you okay? Quickly switch over there~”

“Hoo……. Thank you.”

A card stuck to his back, stopping his fall.

Thanks to the support, he safely moved to the adjacent section of bark.

“There’s not much to help with as I thought~”

Arcana.

She, who everyone expected to ignore everyone else and follow Seun, remained on the 66th floor, watching over the Diablo Guild members.

She had been uninterested in anything other than Seun, even after joining the Diablo Guild.

“Really, it’s fun to watch, you know?”

Not anymore.

She was now interested in the Diablo Guild itself, the guild Seun led, beyond just Seun.

Because of that, the Diablo Guild was clearing the 66th floor trial more safely and reliably than anyone else.

And at the top of that.

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

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

Kaboom!!

Pow Pow Pow!

“Kieeeeeek-”

The Gray Wyvern guarding the first branch couldn’t withstand Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah’s attacks and fell.

Then, as if racing each other, they simultaneously climbed onto the first branch and moved to the next trial.

“Oh, Wyvern! Excellent!”

Well, it wasn’t a surprise that Baekhyun went straight down to the ground to secure the Wyvern’s corpse, showing no regret for the height he had climbed.

After a while, Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol, having arrived on the 67th floor, looked around.

“Where is that guy?”

“There…….”

Yoo Seo-ah pointed to a branch ahead.

There was something’s nest, or rather, what used to be a nest, located there.

It was hard to recognize its original shape because it was scorched and destroyed, but it was clear some kind of monster had lived there.

Observing the traces of a battle that seemed to have been fought by a powerful party rather than an individual, Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol were convinced.

“The heat is completely gone, and all the debris has been scattered. It’s been quite a while.”

“Does that mean he left a long time ago?”

That the nest was the site of Seun’s battle.

The reason was simple: despite the signs of a fierce battle, there were no monster corpses around.

This was because Seun had used the Authority of Gluttony to devour the monster’s corpse.

Ah, and this Authority of Gluttony was also Baekhyun’s most hated ability.

“He’s probably looking for a hidden dungeon.”

“Then we can’t be late either.”

Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah jumped up at the same time.

Of course, they didn’t forget to run in opposite directions to avoid overlapping prey.

* * *

[ You have perfectly cleared the hidden dungeon, ‘Sleeping Flying Dragon’s Nest.’ ]

[ As a reward, your personal contribution points increase by 300,000 points. ]

[ You have acquired ‘Flying Dragon’s Deadly Poison.’ ]

[ You have perfectly cleared the hidden dungeon, ‘Village of Ascending Monkeys.’ ]

[ As a reward, your personal contribution points increase by 200,000 points. ]

[ You have acquired ‘Monkey Hand.’ ]

…….

As planned, Seun explored the entire 67th floor, uncovering hidden elements.

Not only hidden dungeons, but also flowers growing at the end of the longest branch, and monsters concealed beneath densely covered branches.

The rewards were not able to keep up with Seun’s clearing speed.

‘Most of these are things I knew about before the regression but couldn’t clear.’

The hidden dungeons on the 67th floor are mostly small or have short clearing times.

Consequently, the rewards are also small, and there’s no real strategy other than immediately hunting the boss monster.

For that reason, Seun had avoided the hidden dungeons on the 67th floor before the regression.

Now, those dungeons were being easily conquered in Seun’s hands.

‘The field is wider than I thought.’

He had been exploring the 67th floor trial for quite a while, even using Turiek’s wings, but he hadn’t even covered half of the area because it was so vast.

Even on just the 67th floor, the field was comparable to the size of an ordinary country.

Even Seun was starting to tire.

He was about to type in the guild chat to check on the others when.

Kaboom!!

A familiar roar echoed from above.

The noise was clearly audible despite the distance, and he could even feel the wind pressure on his skin.

‘Looks like he’s already arrived.’

It was clearly a shockwave from Kang Han-cheol’s attack.

Judging by the direction and distance, it seemed he had found the passage at the end of the 67th floor.

There would be differences in speed, but since Kang Han-cheol had found the passage, others would gradually arrive.

“Turiek, shall we go?”

– Yes!
