Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 53

Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 53

Episode 53

Gale Talon Eagles.

The sharp feathers, their best weapon, have a weight unsuitable for flight.

This was why they could only live on this cliffside and were rarely seen elsewhere.

The strong and sharp wind of the cliffside.

Thanks to that, they could fly even with their heavy feathers.

But what if moisture accumulated there?

“Pwee-it!”

They fell pathetically onto the bridge.

They desperately twisted their wings to avoid falling into the dark abyss, barely managing to land on the bridge.

Of course, some individuals were screaming pitifully as they plummeted below.

They breathed a sigh of relief at surviving by landing on the bridge, but…

“Now’s our chance!”

“Attack!”

Thud!

An eagle that cannot fly could no longer be called a beast.

The creatures that once reigned supreme as the most dangerous monsters on the cliffside were losing their lives so futilely.

“Oh, these feathers will be quite useful! They’ll make great arrowheads!”

Before long, the battle ended as Go Chang-seok recovered the materials from the fallen creatures.

Originally, they were supposed to be attacked by the Gale Talon Eagles until they crossed the bridge.

Perhaps because they were intelligent, not a single monster attacked after witnessing Se-un’s rain of arrows.

Thus, Se-un’s group was able to cross the bridge very comfortably.

And finally.

“Wow…….”

“Se-un, what is that……?”

“As you can see, it’s a wall.”

The scenery on the opposite side of the cliff came into view.

A long wall, stretching endlessly, extended to the horizon.

It was nothing like the fences the twin sisters had built so far.

A fortress wall. A sight reminiscent of the Great Wall of China, made by stacking square stones.

Inside, there was a tower soaring high into the sky.

The fortress wall was like the last line of defense to protect the tower.

‘The reality is the opposite, though.’

After all, this place was a tutorial. It was just a place to select players qualified to enter the tower.

In other words, what that fortress wall was blocking was not external enemies, but players. The ‘tower’ in front of them was built by transcending causality from various dimensions.

There was no way the tower would be attacked.

‘Until the Outer Gods descend, that is.’

Se-un shook his head, recalling his memories from before his regression.

Right now, he needed to focus on the tutorial rather than the Outer Gods.

-The fourth stage of the tutorial – ‘Attack’ – will now begin.

-Break through the fortress wall and enter the interior.

-If you defeat the lord of the castle, you will be granted ownership of the castle until the end of the fifth stage of the tutorial.

“Ownership of the castle?”

The tutorial’s content was exactly as Se-un remembered.

It was about engaging in a siege to own a castle and using it to succeed in the fifth wave, the defense battle.

As Yoo Seo-ah looked at the vast fortress wall with concern, Se-un pointed ahead.

It was hard to see because it was far away, but if you strained your eyes, you could see that there was a gate there.

“Come to think of it, there are gates at regular intervals, right?”

“Yes, and…….”

As Se-un manipulated something in the system, an information window appeared in front of everyone.

[ Soaring Watchtower ]

Category: Castle

Grade: C

Description: A castle with sturdy walls and unique watchtowers, making it ideal for archers to exert their power.

Abilities: 1. Arrow Supply – The number of arrows is automatically replenished at regular intervals, and the bow’s reload speed is increased by 20%.

2. High Watchtower – The observable area and the bow’s attack range are increased by 20%.

“This is!”

“It’s the castle’s information. Perhaps each visible gate leads to a castle with different characteristics.”

“Then, we need to choose the castle to attack carefully.”

“That’s right.”

Yoo Seo-ah’s understanding was perfect.

The castle was not just a base. As seen in the information window, each castle had unique abilities.

For example, the ‘Soaring Watchtower’ directly in front of them would be very powerful when there are many players using bows.

In addition to that, there were castles for warriors, castles for mages, and castles with just high defense. There were countless castles in the fourth stage.

“Then, which castle should we look for?”

“Well, we’ll have to look for it first.”

A golden castle flashed in Se-un’s mind.

‘Golden Castle.’

The most powerful castle in the fourth stage, and the most difficult one.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know its location.

Before his regression, Se-un had barely managed to join another clan around this point and enter a nearby castle. He had only heard rumors that there was a Golden Castle.

Therefore.

“Jung-pil.”

“Yes, hyung [older brother or respected male figure]!”

“You go around to the other side and investigate what kind of castles there are.”

“Yes! Just trust Park Jung-pil!”

“Yoo Seo-ah.”

“Yes.”

“You take the clan and go around to the right to investigate the castles. Since you have more leeway than others anyway, don’t attack.”

“Okay. But, what about you, Se-un?”

If he had his way, he wanted to occupy all the visible castles before the other players finished the tutorial and came up.

However, the number of castles a clan could occupy was only one.

‘The administrator must have given the pass for this reason.’

Se-un, who had climbed up to the 92nd floor of the tower before his regression, knew about the existence of the administrator.

The reason why they bothered to give additional rewards after the hidden boss monster was defeated. That was it.

It meant, don’t bother interfering with other people’s tutorials and hurry up and get to the next stage.

After all, even if you arrive early in the fourth stage, you can only occupy one castle, and after occupying the castle, you have to wait with bated breath until the next wave.

However.

“I’ll follow slowly. Go ahead.”

“Another hidden piece? Are you going to look for something like that?”

“No, not really.”

Se-un looked at the ‘Soaring Watchtower’ in front of him.

Since Se-un had already occupied a castle once, he knew roughly what the structure inside the castle was like.

Among them, there were also rewards given to the players who occupied the castle.

Therefore.

“I’m just going to loot the warehouse.”

He was planning to break into an empty house before the other players arrived.

* * *

-The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.

[ Telepathy ]

– One of the common spells among mages, it allows you to communicate with others through mana.

Before parting ways with the clan, when Se-un tried to act alone again, Yoo Seo-ah showed more concern than usual. The others were the same.

It seemed that their anxiety had increased because Se-un was trying to disappear as soon as they arrived in a new environment.

Because of that, Se-un took out the remaining mana stones and engraved a new magic circle.

A communication stone. A kind of cell phone. No, considering the limitations of distance and usage, it was an artifact closer to a walkie-talkie.

It was a low-level artifact that was not often used in the tower because communication between different floors was impossible, but in the current situation where they would only be moving around the fortress wall, it could be said to be the best means of communication.

-Ah, hyung! Can you hear me?

“Did you find anything already?”

-No, I’m just amazed! This is totally a cell phone, isn’t it? Wow, why didn’t you take this out sooner! I was so bored while scouting alone…….

Click.

Se-un manipulated his mana to cut off contact with Park Jung-pil. Come to think of it, he wondered why he had contacted him so soon after they parted ways.

“Yoo Seo-ah, is everything okay on your side?”

-Yes. For now, we’re planning to scout until the sun goes down completely and then take a rest.

“Okay. Everyone must not have rested properly. There won’t be any particular threats here unless you attack the castle first. You can rest comfortably.”

-Se-un, you should rest a little too…….

“I’ll just loot a few places and go back. Don’t worry.”

-Okay. Be careful!

“Yeah.”

After finishing the communication, Se-un put on his wolf cloak.

With the communication stone, it would be much easier to report emergencies or find out locations, even from a distance.

Se-un, wearing the cloak, rolled around on the ground a few times and began to move towards the fortress wall in earnest.

‘The Soaring Watchtower has a wide detection range, but it doesn’t have high detection power.’

Se-un wasn’t just covered in dirt right now.

Kilke’s Stealth Technique. He lowered his posture and blended into the earth using the technique he used when attacking the goblin village.

Very slowly, in line with the speed at which the sun was setting. And surely. He moves towards the fortress wall.

The moment he was discovered, hundreds of arrows would rain down from the fortress wall and watchtower, but there was no need to worry. Se-un believed in Kilke’s Stealth Technique and the power of Mamon’s Treasure.

“Shift change. It’s shift change.”

“What’s for dinner?”

“Don’t expect much. Just weeds.”

“Ugh! Those weeds. We’re not herbivores.”

Thanks to the enhanced hearing through Mamon’s Treasure, he could hear the voices from above the fortress wall.

The voice was high and thin like a child whose voice hadn’t broken yet, and although the words were short, they were quite natural.

He activated Nol’s Drooping Nose and focused on his sense of smell, but he didn’t detect the monster’s unique stench very much.

Se-un, who was thinking of numerous monsters, was soon able to guess the identity of the enemy.

‘Halflings, huh.’

Halflings. A race classified as small people, about half the size of humans.

Although their physical abilities were not high, they were known to be quick and skilled in hunting using bows and traps.

They were truly the perfect soldiers for the ‘Soaring Watchtower.’

However.

‘Then there’s no need to worry.’

The halflings’ detection ability was similar to that of humans.

He was worried that they might be a race with excellent sense of smell or hearing like Nols or Kobolds, but if they were halflings, he thought he could enter without worrying about being discovered.

Thud!

Se-un inserted his fingers into the cracks in the stones of the fortress wall.

It was a very small gap where he could barely hook half a knuckle of his fingertip, but Se-un had the power of the ‘Gelada Baboon of Balatan Cliff.’

He had climbed rocky mountains with slopes exceeding right angles, so there was no reason why he couldn’t climb the fortress wall.

Thanks to the shadows created by the setting sun, no halflings discovered Se-un.

As he climbed the fortress wall step by step, he was soon able to reach the edge of the wall.

However, this was where the real problem began.

Judging by his sense of smell and hearing, halflings were guarding the fortress wall at intervals of about 10 meters [approximately 33 feet].

Killing them was simple, but if he did and got caught, things would definitely get troublesome.

If he recklessly killed them and got caught, the ‘Soaring Watchtower’ would be meaningless and would be attributed to Se-un’s clan.

Besides, he didn’t want to waste his stamina from here, as there were still many castles to loot.

Therefore.

-Did you hear? I just heard, but today’s menu has been changed to meat.

“Ugh? Really? Meat?”

“……What are you talking about all of a sudden? Meat?”

“I just said today’s menu is meat!”

“Really? Meat?”

“No, you……?”

“……?”

In the gap where two halflings were tilting their heads, Se-un crossed the fortress wall and jumped down.

How to use telepathy.

It was a pretty useful distraction method for those who were proficient in language like halflings, let alone those who were unskilled in language like goblins or orcs.

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ strongly sympathizes with the feelings of the halflings who were deceived, saying that he can’t stand meat either.

Now all that’s left is to find their warehouse.
