Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 508

Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 508

Chapter 508

“…Is this really the place?”

Just like with Death Hill, you couldn’t just go straight to the 71st floor of Elheim simply because you wanted to.

You had to find the specific branch leading to the 71st floor among the many branches within Elheim to actually get there.

All those branches were so long that it would take a full day to travel back and forth, so many players wandered around Elheim trying to find the correct branch.

“This is the fastest route among the branches leading to the 71st floor. Just trust me and come along.”

Not only Seun but also the Cheonghae Guild was present.

Even though Seun hadn’t reached the next resting place before his regression, they were the top guild in Elheim.

They knew the branches leading to the 71st floor like the back of their hand.

“Hyungniiiiim!”

“Don’t pretend to be weak.”

“I’m not pretending, this is really scary!”

Below the branch was a bottomless cliff.

Of course, no player who fell from here ever came back unscathed.

Because of that, it was common to tie ropes to each other or wear safety gear when riding the branches, but not for Diablo and the Cheonghae Guild.

“Stop exaggerating.”

“Ah, if you’re going to be like that, follow me from behind! Seriously, from the front!”

“Are you guys crazy!”

The Cheonghae Guild was climbing the branches without any equipment due to their repeated experience, and the Diablo Guild was confident in their skills.

They didn’t think they would fall from a normal branch climb without monsters, and they believed their comrades would save them even if they did fall.

Thanks to that, the two guilds were climbing the branches faster than anyone else without any safety equipment.

“Sigh, it’s a disease. A disease. If you’re not going to move, I’m stepping over you?”

“Kuek!”

In the end, Park Jung-pil, who was crawling on all fours in front, was stepped on by the twin sisters.

The people following behind sighed and leaped over Park Jung-pil.

“Hyungniiiiim!”

– The constellation, ‘Donkey-Headed Snatcher,’ chuckles and mocks his contractor.

The sound of Seun being called from behind was desperate, but Seun didn’t bother to turn his head. Even though he looks like that, Park Jung-pil is one of the most agile among them, comparable to Yoo Seo-ah.

‘He’s just scared.’

Even if he’s crawling on all fours right now, he’ll follow faster than anyone else because he’s afraid of being left behind.

“Um, it’s a fork in the road? Which way should we go?”

“We don’t know from here. The branches that have grown from this point are mayflies [short-lived], so the path changes every day.”

“What? Then how…”

As they followed the branch, unlike the straight path until now, countless twigs were sprouting from the end of the branch.

They looked fresh, as if they had just grown.

Yoo Seo-ah looked perplexed, but Zenon was about to take something out of his bag as if there was no problem.

“You don’t have to worry. After all, the branches leading to the 71st floor have different water veins [underground water currents]. And problems related to water are our Cheonghae’s specialty.”

“This way.”

“What? Wait, if you move around carelessly like that, the branch might break.”

“Follow me.”

“Follow him. Seun is the expert at finding the way.”

“Ah…”

Zenon was about to take out some equipment but stopped and looked blank.

Considering the power Seun had shown so far, it wasn’t unbelievable, but he still felt uneasy.

However.

“Blood Wolf oppa [term of endearment for older brother]! Can’t we take some of these branches? The material seems a bit different!”

“Hehe. I’m getting interested too. If we dry and trim them well, they could be useful materials.”

“Everyone, be careful. If you fall, Baekhyun has flying-type undead waiting, so deal with it calmly.”

The Diablo Guild followed Seun without any hesitation.

No one doubted Seun’s words to follow him.

Seeing that, Zenon put the equipment he was about to take out back in and led the Cheonghae Guild members who were hesitating behind him.

“We’ll follow you too.”

“Master! Are you sure? Shouldn’t we check the water veins, at least?”

“We decided to follow them, didn’t we?”

“…I understand.”

The twigs were connected beyond the clouds.

In the first place, Elheim itself was a huge tree that grew through the clouds, but this place was so high that it pierced the clouds above the clouds.

And what they saw was.

“…What is that?”

“Clouds?”

“It doesn’t look like clouds to me.”

“It doesn’t look like it to me either.”

Above the pure white clouds, black, dead land was floating.

The sky above it was not the blue sky they had seen until now, but covered in black darkness as if day and night had been reversed.

They had only come up through one cloud, but it felt like they had reached a completely new world.

“I never get used to seeing this.”

“By the way, you’re amazing. To find the way to the 71st floor so quickly.”

Seun stood still at the very front of the branch and looked at the dead land.

The trials from the 71st to 80th floors that had to be passed to get to the ninth resting place. All of them were tied together by one huge theme.

‘The Demon Realm.’

– The constellation, ‘Crow with a Bowed Head,’ frowns.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ regrets that the prey there is not as tasty as below.

Even if there were monsters they had seen before, the ones there were definitely different in power.

The monsters that absorbed demonic energy became more ferocious and violent than before, and their physical abilities themselves were greatly amplified.

‘The twigs collapsing is also because of that.’

It’s not for nothing that the twigs collapse and grow anew every day.

The thick demonic energy flowing out of the Demon Realm poisons Elheim’s twigs, and Elheim grows endlessly.

That’s how the path to the 71st floor has become so dangerous.

“Let’s go in.”

“Yes, Seun.”

The departure ceremony had already been completed before climbing the branches, so Seun stepped onto the dead land without any special greetings.

Ssssh-

The unique demonic energy rippled and stung his skin.

* * *

When they came up to the 71st floor, what they saw was a vast, barren land.

Even if they opened their eyes wide, there wasn’t a single small weed growing around, and the soil crumbled like ash wherever they stepped.

It was truly dead land.

There was no such thing as terrain.

“Isn’t this worse than the fourth resting place?”

“You mean that underground bunker? Well, even though that place was nearing its end, it wasn’t this bad.”

– Welcome to the 71st floor trial.

– Theme: Demonic Infiltration (魔入) [Demonic Entry]

– You have taken your first step into the demon world, the Demon Realm, filled with thick demonic energy and ferocious demonic beasts and demons.

– But this is just the entrance. To enter the true Demon Realm, you need proper qualifications.

– In the world of the strong eat the weak, where only the strong survive, the Demon Realm, acquire your number (番號) [Number/Ranking].

As they moved forward a little, information about the 71st floor trial appeared.

Seun had seen the same content before his regression, so he immediately gestured to skip it, but the others were reading the content with mysterious eyes.

“Number?”

“It’s a number given to beings of the Demon Realm. Only those who have received a number can be recognized as true beings of the Demon Realm.”

“Then are you telling us to become demons and climb the trial?”

“You could see it that way. If you go a little further, you’ll see demonic beasts and demons, so you can hunt them and move forward.”

“Then will we get a number?”

“No. You can only take a number by killing someone who has a number.”

Even if Seun didn’t open his mouth, Zenon, who had explored the Demon Realm several times, kindly explained the trial.

As the Diablo Guild looked at him with curious eyes, Zenon continued to explain as if he were a god.

As they went a little further.

“Ugh, the air here feels bad. It feels kind of thick.”

“It’s demonic energy (魔氣) [Magical/Demonic energy]. If you inhale it for a long time, the energy in your body will become violent, and in severe cases, your mind may be contaminated, so you should rest in your residence every time you finish a trial.”

Those with sensitive senses were already feeling the demonic energy.

This was one of the things players had to be most careful about when climbing the trials from the 71st to 80th floors.

In fact, there were players who were consumed by demonic energy while climbing the trial and became one of the trial’s monsters.

– The constellation, ‘Crow with a Bowed Head,’ says it will feel cozy once you get used to it and enjoys the demonic energy.

– The constellation, ‘Snake Enclosing the Season,’ advises that demonic energy should not be simply rejected, but that you should learn how to adapt and accept it appropriately.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ feels his appetite decrease as he looks at the barren land.

In the meantime, Seun’s constellations were showing lively reactions as if they had returned to their hometown.

Well, it’s only natural. Although the Demon Realm is different from the hometown that the Demon Gods remember at the point of being bound to the Tower, the energy felt is similar to that of their hometown.

“Then from now on…”

“Each of you will acquire a number and move to the next floor.”

Seun answered firmly.

Originally, the monsters on the 71st floor were incomparably stronger than the monsters they had encountered so far, as they had absorbed demonic energy.

If you go alone, you’re likely to have your neck bitten off by powerful demonic beasts. Seun knew that very well, but.

“Originally, it would be much safer to act as a group, but if it’s you guys from Diablo, it would be better to go separately.”

“Is it okay?”

“It’s okay. The power you’ve shown so far is not at a level where you’ll feel threatened on the 71st floor.”

“Um, I understand. Then, for now, we’ll act individually, but those who are not mainly focused on combat, like Areum and Da-un, will form a pair and go together.”

“Okay, unnie [term of endearment for older sister]!”

The Diablo Guild was not at a level where they would feel threatened at the entrance of the Demon Realm. The same was true for the Cheonghae Guild.

They had already passed the 71st floor several times, so they could pass this place with their eyes closed.

Now all that’s left is the direction.

In this place where there are no landmarks such as trees, rocks, or mountains, which direction should they move in?

‘Is it that way?’

Seun’s journey guide was already pointing in that direction.

The goal is the most powerful monster known at the entrance of the Demon Realm.

The strongest monster that proudly guards its number in this place where the monsters with the last digit number fight and the numbers are constantly changing.

‘Deadly Slime.’

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ notices your goal.

– The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ smacks his lips, saying that it would be a pretty good appetizer.

Seun spread his purple wings to hunt him.
