Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 471

“What is that?”

“Where did they get those monsters?”

“So that’s why they stalled us and ran all the way here.”

Looking at the massive monsters that have revealed themselves, this feels less like a guild war and more like one of the Tower’s trials.

The monsters, now fully emerged from the water, each let out a roar.

“Sea Serpent, Kraken. What’s that one? It looks like a monster I’ve never seen before.”

“Big Jelly. It’s a jellyfish.”

“That one looks tricky. That shell floating at the end looks suspicious, too.”

Four types of large monsters in total.

Even considering their size, they were much larger than the Sea Serpents or Krakens we had seen in previous trials.

How on earth did they capture such monsters?

There’s only one answer.

‘Xenon’s ability.’

I had never seen Xenon fight directly, but I had heard about the abilities of the Cheonghae Guild’s master before my regression.

Monster capture and training.

That’s why, even while in Elheim, he often went on expeditions to the 40th floor’s trial, a sanctuary for sea-type monsters known as the Vast Ocean.

Perhaps that’s why Leviathan recalled the message earlier.

The 40th floor’s trial is where her home, the Black Sea, exists.

The monsters on the 40th floor couldn’t possibly be this big and powerful naturally, but it’s likely they’ve been training the monsters using skills or other methods to enhance them.

“Four ships? We only need to take down one at a time.”

“Huh? One at a time? I can handle that much on my own!”

“Calm down. Even the Serpent is getting agitated.”

“Quiet, everyone focus.”

The large monsters weren’t alone.

On top of each large monster, there was a Cheonghae Guild member controlling it.

Even though Xenon, the guild leader, raised them, the fact that he isn’t showing himself suggests he’s likely preparing something at the base.

So, instead of directly controlling the monsters, he seems to have assigned guild members to handle them.

“Seun, what should we do?”

“Charge.”

“Yes!”

Even so, Seun’s plan didn’t change.

Charge.

At that shout, Diablo’s ship continued its momentum and surged forward.

“You think I’ll let you?!”

*Fwoosh!*

With a thunderous roar, the massive Sea Serpent lunged towards Seun’s ship, which was at the front.

“Ah, really!”

“I told you to calm down!”

“Haa….”

Starting with the Sea Serpent, the other large monsters also approached Seun’s ship.

The Sea Serpent, Kraken, and Big Jelly.

The three monsters filled the view, blocking the path, and behind them, the shell-like monster opened its mouth, gathering currents.

It seemed to be preparing a powerful attack equivalent to a breath weapon.

Just as Seun was about to react, the woman who had been leisurely watching the situation from the end of the mast moved for the first time.

“Have you ever heard the saying, ‘Someone else’s misfortune is my happiness’?”

The cards that had been covering her mouth flew like bullets, sticking to the three approaching monsters.

However, the cards Arcana threw were just simple cards without any offensive abilities.

They didn’t contain the versatile attack abilities she usually used.

Instead…….

“That’s the power of my Stigmata~”

*Whoosh-*

From the center of the cards stuck to the large monsters, an image identical to her Stigmata [a mark or scar on a person’s body, corresponding to the wounds suffered by Jesus Christ during the crucifixion] emerged, swirling darkly.

Arcana’s Stigmata, the ‘Stigmata of Misfortune.’

In contrast to the overwhelming luck she possessed, the misfortune that had been discarded around her accumulated and created this Stigmata.

The moment that power was unleashed.

“Poooowoooooo.”

“Crackling-”

Through the cards she threw, misfortune that was hard to explain simply as bad luck swept across the battlefield.

“I told you not to go out first! This is what happens when the plan gets messed up!”

“What is this…….”

The Kraken and Big Jelly, trying to block the Sea Serpent’s reckless charge, collided with each other.

If it ended there, it would have been fortunate, but the Kraken and Big Jelly’s tentacles even became tangled.

The tentacles, intricately intertwined like a net, soon blocked the Sea Serpent’s path…….

“Shieeeeeek!”

“Damn it, what are you doing!”

The charging Sea Serpent couldn’t control its speed and threw itself into the net.

Pulled by that force, the Kraken and Big Jelly on both sides collided once again, and the already tangled tentacles became even more chaotic.

After appearing so confidently, the sight of them stumbling around, their bodies intertwined before even reaching the ship, was unsightly.

“Ge, get out of the way! Oster’s attack can’t be stopped or modified midway!”

“Crazy, stop! Stop it! Just close your mouth!”

“If I close my mouth, Oster will get hurt!”

“If you shoot like that now, not only you but all three of us will get hit!”

“It’s better than that! If Oster closes his mouth, his body might explode due to the pressure! Understand!”

“Understand, what nonsense!”

*Fwaaaang!*

The shell, which had been preparing to fire at the ship, couldn’t hold on any longer and shot out a water cannon.

Even though it seemed to have widened the range as much as possible to reduce the power, since they were allies, a water cannon was still a water cannon.

The three monsters, tangled in a mess, were hit by the shell cannon’s water cannon and collapsed, creating a massive water splash.

“Maybe it’s because they’re so big, but the misfortune is being consumed quickly~”

The Stigmata shining on her thigh began to lose its color.

Unlike Seun, it hadn’t been created long ago and didn’t seem to be fully mastered yet, but it still showed tremendous power.

If she were to perfectly master using that Stigmata, wouldn’t she be able to interfere with causality artificially, rather than just being lucky or unlucky?

Thinking that, Diablo’s ship accelerated.

Even though the bodies of the large monsters that hadn’t sunk yet and the Cheonghae Guild’s attacks were concentrated right in front, the speed didn’t slow down.

It was because Seun had the confidence not to be deterred by such attacks.

– The Treasury of Greed has been opened.

[ Heroic Ship, Argo ]

– A ship created by the legendary craftsman Argos, whose crew was said to be protected by the goddess Hera [the queen of the Olympian gods in ancient Greek religion and mythology]. It is known to have carried countless heroes, including Jason, to find the Golden Fleece [the fleece of the gold-hair winged ram, which was held in Colchis].

The power of the Argo dwelled in the lead ship Seun was riding.

Actually, I don’t even remember where I hid such a massive ship like the Argo in the warehouse, not a jewel or a treasure.

‘The warehouse I went to was just the first floor.’

Thinking back, there was a staircase leading to the basement inside Mammon’s treasury at the time.

I didn’t have time to look around properly because Outer attacked as soon as I found the Hourglass of Regression, but if it’s a temple the size of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, it’s not impossible to have a vast space underground.

Perhaps there was a separate large warehouse in that basement where massive treasures like the Argo were stored?

– The constellation, ‘The Bowed Crow,’ nods, saying it’s not bad to watch the treasure being used directly.

*Kwaang!*

“Shweek!”

“Poo-”

“Keuk!”

The ship imbued with the power of the Argo struck the bodies of the large monsters with all its might.

Even though three monsters were entangled and clumped together, larger than the ship, and collided, the ship’s speed didn’t decrease at all.

“Attack! We must prevent them from approaching Xenon-nim!”

“Attack! Attack!”

Various attacks, including water magic, poured in.

However, the ship took all those attacks head-on and continued to move forward.

Even when a mage created a massive whirlpool in front of the ship, it continued to move forward as if ignoring the currents.

“This is absolutely…….”

*Kwajik!*

“Keok! Oster……!”

The massive shell-type monster called Oster blocked the way, but the ship continued to move forward, even shattering part of the shell.

No one could stop the ship imbued with the power of the Argo.

Maintaining that momentum, as it continued to move in the direction indicated by the compass of the journey, the moment the compass finally pointed downwards, and I thought we had arrived at our destination…….

A cold killing intent was felt from the depths below the ship.

“……Everyone hold on tight!”

“Yes?”

*Fuaaaat!*

“Keuat?”

The sea surged up like a waterspout from under the ship.

It was a ship that had even broken through whirlpools, but this time it couldn’t completely block it.

Somehow, we managed to avoid the ship capsizing, but everyone was gasping for breath, soaked in seawater.

However, the problem wasn’t over.

*Kugugugu!*

“Ba, back!”

“Turn the wheel!”

The sea level was rising rapidly.

The range was so wide that it wasn’t an attack we could avoid.

Barely turning the wheel to change direction and only preventing sinking, we slid down the rising sea level and managed to land below.

Even this would have been impossible without the power of the Argo dwelling in the ship.

Fortunately, the other three ships hadn’t kept up with the speed and were still behind.

“Xenon…….”

Even before the water had completely receded, Seun could quickly guess the reason why the sea level had risen.

The phenomenon just now was similar to the situation when observed from beyond that hill.

As expected, when all the seawater flowed out, the figure of a giant whale carrying the Cheonghae Guild’s base on its back was revealed.

“Damn it, those bastards!”

“It’s your fault! Please calm down! If you cause another accident, I’ll formally report it to Xenon-nim!”

“I understand! What, we only have to deal with one ship, right? I’ll sink the one on the right first, so don’t interfere!”

“It would be better to act separately. The situation just now, even if the actions were messed up, something was strange. It could be one of Diablo’s abilities.”

“Are you trying to blame your mistake on the opponent’s ability? Still, the report will go in accurately!”

At the same time, the large monsters that had been tangled up and sunk into the sea after being hit by the ship reappeared.

They had many wounds on their bodies and looked exhausted, but they didn’t seem to have suffered any major injuries.

And most importantly, on top of the whale’s back, the Cheonghae Guild’s base.

A familiar man’s voice was heard from there.

“Haha, amazing. I heard you were impatient, but I didn’t expect you to show up this quickly.”

Xenon, fully armed in blue armor, greeted Seun with a trident reminiscent of Poseidon [the god of the sea in ancient Greek religion].

As he raised the trident high, the sea around the whale writhed, sending out long waves.

Soon after, dozens, hundreds of monsters began to appear from there.

“The guest reception isn’t perfectly prepared yet, but it can’t be helped. It’s a shame, but we have no choice but to welcome the guests with what we have.”

Diablo and the Cheonghae Guild already had nearly four times the forces. And on top of that, there were even the monsters Xenon had trained.

Even though the numbers were overwhelmingly different, Seun was in a sufficiently satisfied mood.

“You’ve finally shown yourself.”

The Black Wing Guild’s proposal.

I was able to secure a one-on-one fight with Xenon.
