Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 51

51.

“You… I’ll make sure to! Rip you limb from limb while you’re still alive! And chew you to pieces!”

“Chew you! Chew you! Chew you!”

The Ogre chieftain, consumed by mounting rage, roared. Despite his body bubbling with burns, his eyes remained fixed on Se-un.

Even without a special skill, an ordinary person would have been paralyzed with fear simply from meeting his gaze.

Meanwhile, Se-un, maintaining direct eye contact with the brute, pulled something from his subspace pocket.

“This should do.”

[ Goblin Longsword ]

Classification: Longsword

Grade: E+

Description: A sword looted by goblins from players. It appears to be in fairly usable condition.

Abilities: 1. Goblin Mark – Inflicts a minor paralyzing poison on enemies attacked, due to the goblin fluids smeared on it.

A weapon acquired from the goblin warehouse. Among them, it was the iron sword that seemed to be in the best condition.

Se-un lightly swung the iron sword, nodded, and tucked his Fang Dagger into his belt.

He was downgrading his weapon against an opponent that even the higher-grade Fang Dagger couldn’t effectively damage. It was an incomprehensible action.

“First, I’ll tear those nimble legs of yours off!”

“Tear you! Tear you! Tear you!”

The chieftain began to charge towards Se-un in earnest.

The Ogre’s familiar second pattern: the grab.

As the chieftain, not just a regular Ogre, charged forward with his massive body, the ground thundered and the air rushed.

Amidst all this, Se-un, without any intention of dodging, gripped the Goblin Longsword tightly and took a stance. He had no intention of using any martial arts techniques. A simple slashing motion was all he needed.

Thump, thump, thump!

Just as the chieftain’s footsteps brought him within striking distance, Se-un opened Mammon’s Treasure Vault and summoned the treasure he had planned for in advance.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Cursed Sword of Poisonous Blood, Hrunting ]

– A treasured sword used by the hero Beowulf to kill Grendel’s mother. It is known as a cursed sword that hardens each time it is stained with blood, having been tempered in poison.

Whoooong!

As the power of the treasured sword Hrunting was imbued, the Goblin Longsword vibrated wildly.

It was only natural that an ordinary E+ grade iron longsword would struggle under the power of a hero’s treasured sword.

In fact, when Se-un first imbued the power of ‘Sword of Wrath, Gram’ into a tree branch after his regression, it turned to dust and vanished in mere seconds.

However.

“Just hold on once.”

Se-un never intended to use the Hrunting-infused longsword for long anyway.

After all, the number of treasured swords in the vault was overflowing.

Moreover, all of them were merely the power of intangible swords. He thought it would be better for the swords to be used appropriately at the most necessary moment.

Clang!

Gripping the longsword, which was vibrating as if it would burst at any moment, he aimed it at the charging chieftain.

The ground shook with each step the brute took due to its massive size, but Se-un’s feet remained as still as if they were detached from the ground.

“Got you. You bastard!”

“Got yo….”

Just before the chieftain’s thick palm reached Se-un’s shoulder.

Snikt-

Along with the sound of something being sharply cut.

-The Goblin Longsword could not withstand the power of ‘Hrunting’ and is destroyed.

-The poison dormant in ‘Hrunting’ explodes.

Fwooooooosh!!

A cloud of purple poison erupted.

The poisonous substance known to have been used to temper Hrunting. As the sword shattered, the poison dormant within burst out.

Fortunately, the poison spread along the path of Se-un’s swing, so it did not affect Se-un or Kang Han-cheol, who was fighting behind him.

However, the state of the Ogre chieftain, Krak Katlakh, who was directly hit by the slash, was not so good.

Sizzle-

As the cloud of poison thinned, the chieftain’s condition became visible.

His entire body was already flushed red from the burns, and now the poison had seeped in, causing his flesh to fester and pus to burst out.

If his skin had been intact, he could have held his breath and run away to minimize the damage, but thanks to the burns from Dark Flare, the power of the poison cloud was amplified to the extreme.

“Bro, I’m hurt. Bro, hurt. Bro, bro?”

One of the brute’s heads desperately called out to the other head.

Thud.

No answer came.

The sound of cutting that had been heard when the longsword was swung was the sound of the head of the chieftain, referred to as the brother, falling to the ground.

The severed head couldn’t close its eyes, as if it couldn’t believe its own death.

Crack!

Instead of closing the head’s eyes, Se-un lightly stepped on the head.

The skull, weakened by the poison, shattered futilely.

“Bro, bro, bro!”

Snikt-

Se-un, having taken out his Fang Dagger again, severed the remaining head that was calling out to the already shattered head with a desperate voice.

The leather was so tough that it was difficult to even make a scratch with a D+ weapon.

Thanks to the poison that had festered the skin, melted the muscles, and eroded the bones, the brute’s head was cut off far too easily.

This was the method of using treasures that Se-un had come up with.

It had the disadvantage of only being usable once, but it possessed tremendous power that easily surpassed that drawback.

-You have defeated the hidden boss monster, ‘Starving Ogre Chieftain, Krak Katlakh.’

-Your level has increased.

-Personal contribution points increase by 100,000 points.

-You have defeated a hidden boss monster alone, so personal contribution points increase by an additional 50,000 points.

-You have acquired ‘Krak’s Great Axe.’

-You have acquired ‘Katlakh’s Small Axe.’

-You have acquired ‘Twin Head Ogre Tendon.’

…

A long system message appeared one after another, obscuring the view.

Items were items, but 150,000 contribution points were beyond common sense.

Se-un remembered that even in the next tutorial, there were no cases of obtaining such a high amount of contribution points at once.

-You have devoured ‘Starving Ogre Chieftain, Krak Katlakh.’

-Absorbing nutrients increases Strength by 30.

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ chews on the gently ripened prey and widens his eyes, saying that this is also a delicacy.

‘This is a delicacy.’

Squirming worms, roasted goblins, and even twin-headed ogres pickled in poison.

These were things that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to bring themselves to eat even after starving for two or three days, but for some reason, Beelzebub had never once said ‘it’s not delicious.’

Indeed, the Demon King of Gluttony.

Perhaps he was able to gain the title of gluttony because he had abandoned his sense of taste, Se-un thought suspiciously.

Crack!

After clearing the system messages and regaining his senses, Se-un heard a sound like something exploding from behind.

Turning around, he saw an Ogre with a round hole in the center of its abdomen collapsing to the floor.

Judging by the Ogre’s direction facing this way, it seemed that Kang Han-cheol had taken advantage of the Ogre’s confusion after losing its chieftain to land a blow.

Four Ogres had fallen around Kang Han-cheol.

In the end, he had really defeated four Ogres on his own.

‘That guy is really amazing.’

Se-un had the memories of his regression and the powers of two Demon Gods, but Kang Han-cheol had none of that.

Thanks to Se-un, he was able to contract with Agares, the second-ranked Great Demon King, early on and learn martial arts.

In the end, however, it was Kang Han-cheol’s own ability that allowed him to become this strong.

Swish-

Bright light flowed from Se-un’s hand and enveloped Kang Han-cheol’s body.

Heal.

It was the highest level healing magic that Se-un could currently use.

Thanks to it, Kang Han-cheol, who had been unable to move even a fingertip after exerting all his strength to throw his last punch, began to move his body again.

“…Thanks.”

“You’re tough too. It would have been enough to just hold on, but you actually managed to defeat four Ogres on your own.”

-The constellation, ‘Old Man Riding an Alligator,’ strokes his alligator with pleasure, saying that he is indeed his contractor.

“But in the end, I was still slower than you.”

“That’s only natural. Here, drink this.”

Se-un opened Mammon’s Treasure Vault and tossed him a potion.

Well, even if he drank that, his wounds would heal, but he wouldn’t recover from the fatigue itself, but he would be able to recover enough strength to move from his spot right away.

“Is it over now?”

“Yeah.”

The hunt for the hidden boss monster, a hidden monster that even Se-un didn’t know about, was over.

It didn’t seem like any more Starving Ogres would be summoned in this situation.

‘I should go back to the base for now.’

Originally, the role of the Starving Ogres was to accelerate the progress of the third act of the tutorial.

However, now that the Ogres were gone, it was unknown how long it would take for the tutorial to end unless the players fought enthusiastically.

‘There shouldn’t be any hidden pieces around here….’

This place was different from the previous areas.

It was a wide plain set up solely for battles between players, so there was no space to hide anything.

Above all, he knew it well because he had desperately avoided enemies and hid in various parts of the field to survive before his regression.

However, he didn’t feel like hunting players.

‘I have enough points anyway.’

Currently, Se-un’s contribution points were over 400,000 points. No matter how much other players rampaged, it was impossible to exceed this score.

If so.

‘Should I gather mana….’

Even if he carefully recalled his plans, there was nothing more to gain here.

Anyway, he had to fill the newly created third circle with mana and gather internal energy in his dantian [energy center], so it seemed better to meditate at the base for the time being.

Having finished thinking this far, he was about to summon Jeok-rang and depart for the base.

-For the first time in the history of the tower, ‘Starving Ogre Chieftain, Krak Katlakh’ has been summoned.

-For the first time in the history of the tower, ‘Starving Ogre Chieftain, Krak Katlakh’ has been defeated.

-As a special benefit, the entire clan, including player ‘Jeong Se-un,’ will receive a ‘Tutorial Third Act Pass.’

“Pass?”

Even without reading the explanation, the meaning of the pass was simple.

It meant that Se-un’s clan would be passed, ignoring the tutorial condition that the number of players had to be less than half.

‘With this….’

A smile spread across Se-un’s face.

This reward was more welcome than any finished product to Se-un, who knew the information of the fourth act of the tutorial, let alone anyone else.

With this, it seemed that he could greatly shorten the planned time.
