Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 533

533

At that moment.

[You have entered the hidden dungeon, ‘Hohopajiok (Tiger Granny Hell)’.]

Seo-ah Yoo and Han-cheol Kang were attacking the fifth hell of the Eight Cold Hells, Hohopajiok.

“Grrr….”

A tiger made entirely of ice revealed itself through the blizzard of extreme cold. Its claws were as beautiful as jewels, and its fangs were as sharp as diamonds.

The combined attack of Seo-ah Yoo and Han-cheol Kang struck the Ice Prison Tiger, a monster of Hohopajiok.

Clang!

Before long, the match was decided, and the Ice Prison Tiger’s body shattered like glass.

“Hoo….”

“Are you okay?”

“Moving around makes it a bit more bearable.”

The type of dungeon, the tricky monsters, and so on—the difficulty was incomparably higher than ordinary monsters in the Demon World or typical dungeons.

Among all of that, the most difficult thing was, of course, the Hellish Cold Snow of the Eight Cold Hells.

This was only the fifth hell, and if it weren’t for the cold resistance equipment made by Chang-seok Go, they would have become ice statues without even fighting the monsters.

“I don’t know what the eighth dungeon will be like if it’s already this bad.”

“Cold can be overcome with mental strength.”

Thump!

Han-cheol Kang clenched his fists and slammed them together in front of his chest.

The vibration flowing through his fists spread out, shaking off the frost that surrounded his entire body.

Seo-ah Yoo, not to be outdone, stomped forward as if performing a ritual, shaking off all the frost on her body.

Then, she immediately raised her twin swords and lowered her stance.

“They’re coming again.”

“I know.”

“The number… about five that I can sense right now.”

Ice Prison Tigers.

The reason they were scary wasn’t their strength in a frontal battle like just now.

Hiding their bodies in the fiercely raging blizzard, concealing their footsteps in the thickly piled snow, and suppressing their bloodlust to punish rather than kill the sinners they were targeting.

That ambush was the real reason the Ice Prison Tigers were terrifying.

“Don’t worry.”

– Player Han-cheol Kang uses ‘Declaration of War’.

Han-cheol Kang slammed his fist down.

Snow was piled up deeply enough to cover his lower body, but his fist easily pierced through the snow and struck the ground.

Kugugugu!

It caused a massive earthquake.

Waves rippled across the piled snow, scattering in all directions, soon turning into an avalanche that swept everything away.

“Roar!”

In this situation, even the Ice Prison Tigers couldn’t continue hiding.

They abandoned their ambush and leaped over the avalanche, charging at Seo-ah Yoo and Han-cheol Kang.

“It’s my turn.”

Then, a crown was placed on Seo-ah Yoo’s head.

Before the fluttering cloak was even completed, her figure disappeared, and before the feet of the charging Ice Prison Tigers could even touch the ground.

– Player Seo-ah Yoo uses ‘Tarantula’s Seventh Leg’.

Seo-ah Yoo’s attack swept through the Ice Prison Tigers.

Recently, in the battle against the Outer Gods to protect Seun, she had grown remarkably.

The tigers guarding the Eight Hot Hells were turned into hundreds, thousands of ice shards by her twin swords and scattered.

“Let’s hurry. Seun is waiting.”

“It would be quite enjoyable to arrive first and challenge him to a duel.”

“Grrr….”

The boss monster of Hohopajiok, the Violent Tiger of Cold Lineage, appeared before them.

* * *

Thanks to the journey’s guide, the end of the Great Crying Hell was quickly found.

However, the problem was.

‘…Did I have to go after all?’

At the end of the Great Crying Hell, there were two keyholes.

Perhaps, this meant that keys existed in two of the four directions?

‘One way or another, one will work….’

The disadvantage of Seun’s universal key appeared for the first time.

This universal key doesn’t unconditionally open doors, but rather it’s a key that unconditionally unlocks one lock.

In other words, it has limitations in this type of door where two or more locks must be opened simultaneously.

“Master, would you like to rest here? I’ll go find them quickly.”

“No, let’s all….”

It was a shame to have arrived at the end of the dungeon, but just as they were about to turn back.

Clang.

“……?”

A cold metallic sound came from behind.

Turning around to see what it was, Jeong-pil Park was picking up something he had dropped on the floor.

“Hyung-nim [term of respect], is this the key you were looking for?”

“What? Where did you get that?”

“I swiped it from the prison guard Hyung-nim knocked out earlier while coming here.”

“Swiped…?”

Monsters defeated here basically disappear naturally over time.

The same goes for the equipment and tools they hold.

Besides, Seun had always used the Authority of Gluttony on the defeated monsters, so there was hardly any equipment left.

‘He managed to grab that in the meantime?’

Frankly, it was impossible.

Even Seun didn’t know that the prison guard had a key, and even if he stole it, the key would disappear when the main body died—that was the characteristic of this place.

However, Jeong-pil Park had an Authority that defied even that obvious principle.

– The Constellation, ‘The Thieving Donkey Head,’ chuckles.

The Constellation, The Thieving Donkey Head.

Valefor, the 6th-ranked Demon King, also known as the Duke of Thieves.

That was the Authority he possessed.

“Amazing. There are times when Jeong-pil is helpful….”

“We must report this to Seo-ah. We can finally reveal the reason for Jeong-pil’s existence.”

“What are you guys saying!”

“Good job.”

“Keheheh, foresight that sees the future! This is the skill of your true right-hand man, Park Jeong-pil!”

It didn’t seem like he had planned it, but what did it matter? Jeong-pil Park was already proving his worth for the second time in a row.

He once again thought it was a good idea to bring him to the Great Crying Hell.

Clank-

The key he had obtained and the universal key that Seun took out. As they inserted both keys and turned them at once, the sound of the lock being released was heard.

However, that didn’t mean the door opened immediately.

“This is a bit much.”

“Yes, I’ll hold it.”

Leaving the key to Hae-ri, Seun pushed the door.

The key only unlocked it; the structure required physical strength to push the door open directly.

Choi Su-chang noticed that and tried to help, but the situation was already resolved.

Thud!

The door opened roughly with Seun’s strength alone, and the boss monster of the Great Crying Hell appeared from within.

“I’ll assist.”

“Me too… um, come to think of it, everyone except Master has a combat style close to support.”

“It’s okay. It’s more comfortable that way.”

“Kyaaaaaaak-!”

“Heukyaaak!”

“Quiet, Park Jeong-pil.”

Three people. No, Park Jeong-pil was hiding in that corner, so thanks to the help of two people, the battle went smoothly.

Without even needing to use the Authority of the Demon Gods, the boss monster fell.

[You have perfectly cleared the hidden dungeon, ‘Great Crying Hell’.]

[Personal contribution points increase by 1,000,000 points as a reward.]

[You have acquired ‘Torn Scripture of Rage (5)’.]

The conquest of the Great Crying Hell could be brought to an end.

* * *

“Master, are you really okay? If you’re returning early because of us….”

“No. I was going to rest too.”

“We’re really fine. No, we were going to wander around more too! Isn’t that right, Su-chang?”

“Uh… yes.”

“No, I’m serious.”

In fact, Seun wanted to do that too.

The trial of the 76th floor and the Great Crying Hell.

It took quite a bit of time because the size was so large, but it wasn’t a very difficult challenge for Seun, so his stamina was fine.

So he wanted to find the sixth of the Eight Hot Hells in the next trial right away, but.

‘That place is also likely to be a cooperative dungeon.’

– The Constellation, ‘The Bowing Crow,’ nods.

The previous two dungeons were also cooperative dungeons.

The upcoming dungeons would also require at least two people. No, he had a feeling that the number would likely increase even more.

‘It’s better to maintain my condition and match the pace.’

What if he went up to the 77th floor first and found a hidden dungeon but didn’t have enough people to challenge it together?

He would just be wasting time there. There was a limit to spending time searching for nearby hidden dungeons or killing time.

In that case, Seun thought it would be better to match the climbing speed with the other guild members in the residence.

‘I should make some spare equipment too.’

Now that he knew that cooperative dungeons were increasing, he also needed equipment with heat resistance.

Seun couldn’t always be there to cool down the heat.

“Elder, I’m asking for your help.”

“Hehe, I’m always happy to help as long as I have the materials.”

“The materials are here, so you can use them as much as you want. When we stop by the next rest area, I’ll sweep up all the materials in the auction house too.”

“Oh, this is a new material! Good, let’s give it our all!”

Chang-seok Go hadn’t even climbed to the 76th floor yet because he was busy forging. He felt a little sorry, but he had asked him to make equipment.

There weren’t many people in the residence because everyone was busy attacking the trials.

‘Should I do some personal training?’

Even Arcana was nowhere to be seen.

Anyway, there was a lot to train, such as controlling the sandstorm, confirming the new 8th Circle magic, and the next move of martial arts.

He moved to the open space he often used as a training ground.

However, there was a guest who had arrived at the open space before Seun.

“Haha, good! That’s a chain explosion!”

“Guh-“

Bang!

Boom!

Boom!!

Zombies exploding with short screams.

The zombies that exploded like grenades had fine meteorite particles embedded in their flesh, making them good for fighting the Outer Gods.

“This is enough to be used in actual combat. Then, next.”

“Ex-periment number. Four hundred-forty-five.”

“Experiment number. Four hundre-Keeeek!”

“Do your best to fight each other.”

“I underst-and.”

“Keeeeeeek!”

Next was the battle of two chimeras.

Instead of ordinary claws, one had gears made of meteorites embedded in it, and the other had meteorites protruding sharply from its head along its spine.

In addition, there was a line of undead waiting for the next experiment.

Perhaps because he was so engrossed in the experiment, Baek-hyun only noticed Seun’s presence after Seun came up to him and made a sound.

“Ah, you’ve arrived!”

“Were you experimenting?”

“Yes, I’m checking the results of the experiments in Skabe and reconfirming the possibility of actual combat. They’re still experimental, so I’m embarrassed to show them to you.”

Embarrassed.

Baek-hyun’s undead were definitely not something to be embarrassed about anywhere.

Frankly, if you only look at his skills as a necromancer, he was at the level of being called the best among all the players he had seen before and after regression.

“Ah, if you have time, would you mind checking my undead?”

“Checking?”

“Haha, just fight them as you usually do.”

With Baek-hyun’s laughter, the undead standing behind him lined up and approached Seun.

Frankly, it wasn’t a preferred task.

“If you deal with them in a suppressing manner, it won’t be a reliable experiment.”

He said they were unfinished, but in Seun’s eyes, all the undead here looked excellent enough to be put into actual combat right away.

However, Baek-hyun’s reaction was different.

“Yes? Ah, you don’t have to worry. Don’t hold back and knock them down hard. No, you have to.”

“Isn’t it a waste?”

“Haha, a waste….”

Baek-hyun looked around at the lined-up undead and said with a smirk.
