Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 468

The week passed quickly.

Only one week remained until the guild war against the Blue Wave Guild.

The Diablo Guild had completed its basic preparations for the guild war and was now in the final stages of checking facilities and formations.

“Good work, everyone!”

“Your teamwork is excellent. At this rate, we have nothing to worry about.”

“If I had my way, I’d finish the guild war tomorrow. You know that feeling of wanting to get it over with, that unfounded confidence you get before an exam?”

“But we still need to make good use of the remaining time.”

“I know, I know.”

The combat members finished their coordination practice.

Pushing themselves too hard for too long would only increase the risk of injury or worsen their condition, so they strictly adhered to the practice schedule.

Seun also finished his coordination practice, trained in the Authority of Lust, and then dragged his tired body back to Elheim’s lodging from the residence.

‘It’s definitely comfortable here.’

Seun sat on the waterbed in the lodging provided by the Blue Wave Guild.

After finishing his training and taking a shower, the cool waterbed made him feel like his fatigue was melting away.

Although the residence was well-equipped with lodging, most of the Diablo Guild members, including Seun, spent their downtime here.

‘The residence is too noisy anyway.’

The sounds of Go Chang-seok’s hammering, the twin sisters reinforcing the residence, Kang Han-cheol smashing the terrain, and the noise from Baek Hyeon’s experiments.

Even after regular training hours, the residence was constantly filled with noise.

The twin sisters had paid special attention to soundproofing when building the lodging, but they couldn’t block all the noise.

Therefore, it was more comfortable for everyone to return to Elheim to get proper rest.

He couldn’t stop those who were working and training hard just because it was noisy.

‘I’m getting used to the Authority of Lust.’

He had become accustomed to turning the split bodies in different directions or using other techniques.

Now, the problem was implementing other magic and martial arts at a high level in that state.

This was very difficult at first, like drawing different pictures with his left and right hands, but now he was slowly figuring out how to do it.

Thud.

Seun lay down completely on the waterbed.

He felt the unique cool and squishy sensation of the waterbed enveloping his entire body.

Just as Seun was about to fall asleep.

‘They’re here.’

He sensed someone’s presence outside the window.

Seun’s room was at the very end of the lodging.

It was not only on the fifth floor, but there was also a cliff leading to the ground outside the window.

Moreover, this place was the center of the Blue Wave Guild.

The only person who could break through all the security and sneak in here was one person.

“You came faster than I thought.”

“Do you know how much your news has spread in Elheim? I didn’t even need to ask around to find your location.”

“Is that so?”

“It’s more than ‘is that so.’ A guild war with the Blue Wave Guild. Don’t tell me you joined hands with the Blue Wave because you didn’t want to join us?”

“Of course not.”

The black-winged figure he had seen in Death Hill came in through the window.

As if he had no intention of hiding his appearance, he wasn’t wearing the robe he had worn last time, but a tight-fitting black outfit.

“Even if it was last time, it would have been difficult to break through the Blue Wave’s security, right?”

“It would have been under normal circumstances. But now, more than half of their forces have returned to the residence for training, so the inside is empty.”

“They must be preparing hard too.”

“Preparing this much for a guild war with a new guild. They’re still somewhat recognized in Elheim.”

“Would you react the same way if I declared a guild war on Black Wing?”

“Don’t compare us to the Blue Wave. We left Elheim a long time ago.”

The black-winged figure said, sitting on the bed next to Seun.

Originally, this room was a double room, but Yoo Seo-ah had allowed Seun to use it alone out of consideration.

However, she didn’t seem to know it was a waterbed, as her eyes widened as soon as she sat down, feeling the cool and squishy sensation.

She quickly calmed down, saying, ‘Hmm, hmm,’ but twitched a few times, seemingly bothered by the feel of the bed.

“So, what’s the answer?”

There was only one conversation to have with the black-winged figure.

The proposal Seun had made at the end of Death Hill.

It was time to hear the answer to the proposal to meet and talk directly with the player called the Black Wing’s guild master.

“Hoo… Do you know how much I suffered because of you? A messenger with the task of delivering instructions ended up reporting instructions to the higher-ups.”

“Delivering instructions is the messenger’s job, no matter which way it goes.”

“To put it simply, it’s fifty-fifty. Half nodded at your proposal, but half were furious and raged.”

“I figured.”

Black Wing basically consists of one guild master and the executives below him.

I don’t know how many executives there are in total, but I know that important matters are conveyed to the guild master only after passing through the executives’ ears.

This was not simply a hierarchical structure, but because their guild master was carrying out such important independent actions.

“Therefore, the executives demanded ‘proof’.”

“Proof?”

“Proof that your arrogance is based on skill.”

It seems I avoided the worst-case scenario.

If even one of the executives hadn’t sided with Seun, the one who came to find him now wouldn’t have been the messenger in front of him, but the Black Wing executives.

They would have moved directly to cut off Seun’s head for daring to ignore them.

Well, I don’t think I’d lose to one or two executives anyway.

If they all came to pressure Seun, a difficult situation would definitely arise.

“How should I show it?”

“You’ve created a perfect situation.”

“The guild war with the Blue Wave.”

“Yes. Defeat Xenon in a one-on-one match there.”

“Is that enough?”

“The Blue Wave Guild, which fights in the residence, is the strongest in Elheim, if not anywhere else.”

She’s right.

The Blue Wave Guild’s strength is greatly amplified by the terrain, making them exceptionally powerful in aquatic environments, far more so than in ordinary settings.

I haven’t seen it firsthand, but the Blue Wave Guild’s residence is likely designed to be predominantly underwater.

The reason the Blue Wave Guild excels in guild wars but hasn’t progressed beyond the 80th floor and remains in Elheim is precisely this environmental advantage.

“Xenon is the same. Within his residence, Xenon’s abilities are comparable to those of our Black Wing executives.”

“Comparable? That doesn’t sound right.”

“…Yes. At least on the sea, I believe his power surpasses that of our executives.”

As she speaks, she doesn’t just sit on the water bed; she fully reclines on it.

She seems to enjoy the unique sensation of the water bed.

She was so guarded when we first met; I’m not sure why she’s suddenly showing such a relaxed side.

“The executives must think so too. If you can defeat Xenon in a one-on-one match during the guild war, you’ll prove you’re someone they can’t afford to underestimate.”

“So, you’re suggesting I allow spectators for the guild war?”

“Well, it’s not crucial. There are plenty of ways for them to gather information, even without spectators.”

The guild war with the Blue Wave Guild.

I was already considering it an opportunity to formally collaborate with Poseidon, a major figure in Olympus [referring to a powerful faction or alliance], and now the Black Wing’s proposal adds another layer to it.

As she mentioned, there’s the stipulation that I must face the master of the Blue Wave Guild in a one-on-one naval battle…

‘But that’s what I was planning to do anyway.’

This doesn’t change my plans.

“I’ll do it.”

“I hope you flounder and die in the deep sea.”

“Why don’t you get off the bed now? Isn’t our conversation over?”

“…It seems you’re using this double room alone anyway; can’t I stay for a bit? I rushed here from the ninth shelter. I have to retry the trials to go back.”

“Get lost.”

Seun didn’t understand why she was suddenly acting so comfortable and promptly kicked her out the window.

* * *

The promised month has passed.

The remodeling of the residence was completed in preparation for the guild war with the Blue Wave Guild, and the production of various equipment and potions was also finished.

To formally commence the guild war, the Diablo Guild and the Blue Wave Guild gathered in one place.

“Look over there, it’s Diablo and Blue Wave. They’re really having a guild war, huh?”

“Does that even make sense? Even if they’re rookies, that Diablo is a newly formed guild that just arrived in Elheim.”

“Besides, it’s the Blue Wave Guild, not just any guild. There aren’t many who can challenge the Blue Wave Guild in a guild war, not just in Elheim but even in the next shelter, right?”

“Well, I don’t know; I’ve never been there.”

“That’s how strong they are!”

“Do they really have that much confidence in winning?”

The Blue Wave Guild didn’t bother concealing the fact that they were having a guild war with the Diablo Guild.

Instead, they openly moved around Elheim, preparing for the guild war as if they were actively promoting it.

‘Well, there’s no point in hiding it.’

The agreement for this guild war stipulates that the losing side becomes a subordinate of the winning guild.

Once the guild war concludes, the outcome will be revealed regardless.

I suspect that’s why they didn’t bother with secrecy.

“Isn’t it a bit much? I heard Blue Wave initiated the guild war.”

“Right. They’re not exactly paragons of chivalry, yet they constantly preach about honor, and then they initiate a guild war with a newly ascended guild.”

“Won’t their reputation be completely tarnished if they lose?”

“…Well, honestly, there’s no way they’ll lose. It’s the Blue Wave Guild, after all.”

“That’s true.”

Many people speculated about the outcome of this guild war, but the consensus was unanimous.

The Blue Wave Guild would win.

It’s a guild war between a newly formed guild and Elheim’s top guild, after all.

Regardless of Diablo’s reputation in the lower levels, no one believed they could defeat the Blue Wave Guild.

“If it were any other guild, I might consider the possibility.”

“I agree.”

“Okay, let’s begin.”

“A public match. That new guild is surprisingly bold.”

“They’re just inflated with arrogance. They’re blinded by their success in the lower levels and can’t see what’s coming.”

“I’m more curious about what the Blue Wave Guild is thinking. To initiate a guild war with a new guild and make it a public spectacle. It doesn’t align with their usual image at all, does it?”

“It’s obvious. How many times have the Constellations [powerful entities or patrons] pressured Oracles [individuals with special abilities or roles]?”

“Shh, watch your words.”

A public match.

As the name suggests, the guild war was open to other residents of the shelter.

Generally, guild wars are rarely made public, but this guild war was changed to a public match at Seun’s request.

Xenon was initially taken aback, but he nodded after a moment of consideration, confident that there was no way they could lose.

“He’s here. It’s Xenon.”

“They say it’s the Diablo Guild.”

All eyes were on the two guilds.

The Diablo Guild, wearing armor emblazoned with a red wolf emblem, and the Blue Wave Guild, armed with blue armor and exuding a distinct, formidable aura.

The numbers alone were about four times different.

I thought they would at least match the numbers as a large guild, but that wasn’t the case either.

As a result, most people became even more convinced of the Blue Wave Guild’s victory.

‘Player Seun. The player chosen by Lucifer…’ [referring to a significant figure or entity in the game/world]

Among the audience was a Black Wing member.

She observed the two guild masters, Seun and Xenon, who were now facing each other.

Even though they hadn’t started fighting, it felt like their pressure was colliding and radiating outwards, affecting the audience.

“Then, let’s begin immediately. Master of Diablo.”

“Let’s do it.”

– The guild war between ‘Diablo Guild’ and ‘Blue Wave Guild’ has been established.

– During the guild war, the residences of the two guilds will be temporarily merged.

Whoosh!

The moment the two guild leaders shook hands, the members of Diablo and Blue Wave Guild vanished instantly and were transported to each other’s residences.

And a massive monitor made of system interfaces appeared before the people of Elheim.
