Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 545

545. Plundered the Demon God’s Warehouse (545/675)

Chapter 545

‘Zaratan, huh.’

The largest monster on the 79th Floor Trial.

However, the information wasn’t rare enough to elicit a reaction from Se-un, who possessed knowledge from his regression [past life].

Most players who reached the 79th Floor would have heard of it at least once.

‘It was a monster, but it wasn’t treated like one.’

Zaratan resembled a giant turtle.

However, its appearance was so enormous that those who encountered Zaratan for the first time recognized it as an island rather than a monster.

Since the concept of common sense had already been shattered in the Tower, a moving island wasn’t particularly strange.

In particular, Zaratan’s shell had an entire ecosystem on it, and Se-un had even discovered a hidden dungeon there.

Zenon was now suggesting they hunt such a monster.

“Do you not know what happened to the players who attacked Zaratan?”

“I do. They were all swallowed by the tidal wave and never resurfaced. By the way, you truly are Diablo’s Master. To already know of Zaratan’s existence.”

While it was understandable to mistake it for an island, it was still a monster in the end.

Therefore, it wasn’t as if no players had ever attacked Zaratan.

No, even if they weren’t players, there were occasionally groups of demons who would swarm and provoke Zaratan.

Zaratan’s rank in the Demon World was a whopping 10th.

In a Demon World where ranks went up to 99,999,999, being 10th was truly remarkable.

In fact, even upon reaching the final trial on the 80th Floor, demons in the top 10 rarely showed themselves.

“And yet, you’re suggesting we attack Zaratan?”

Players who didn’t know Zaratan’s rank and underestimated its gentle nature all died.

Though more gentle than anyone, Zaratan, like any demon of the Demon World, didn’t spare those who attacked it.

Each time its thick feet moved, a tidal wave would block out the sun, and when its massive mouth closed, no one could stop or avoid it.

Above all, Zaratan’s thick carapace was so hard that even demons in the top 10 would have difficulty damaging it.

Yet, Zenon nodded.

“We will help. If you are Diablo’s Master, wouldn’t it be possible?”

“Why are you making such an offer without being asked?”

“The moment Zaratan dies, a new Zaratan is said to hatch from an egg implanted within its body. I want to tame that Zaratan.”

“Tame Zaratan?”

“If we tame Zaratan, it will be a great help on the 80th Floor as well. This is also a way to increase the power of Qinghai, no, Diablo.”

“……That’s true. If it’s possible, that is.”

“I am confident. Lord Poseidon is also lending his strength, fully cooperating to help the Master.”

Zenon had previously handled the mythical beast, the White Whale, in the Guild Competition.

For him, taming Zaratan wouldn’t be an impossible dream.

Se-un nodded.

“Besides, ranks aren’t just numbers. Can you imagine what would happen if you entered the 80th Floor with a rank of 10?”

The Trial of the 80th Floor, Shura Road [Path of Carnage].

In that place, one must constantly fight enemies and raise their rank to the limit.

What would happen if you entered such a place with a rank of 10?

Mediocre beings wouldn’t even approach.

‘There’s a high probability that demons in the top 10 will approach.’

Demons in the top 10 are not easy to encounter.

Se-un had only met one before. If Zenon’s plan succeeded, there was a high chance that other top 10 demons would take an interest.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Demon,’ smacks his lips greatly as he reads your thoughts.

For demons in the top 10, simply using the Authority of Gluttony would greatly increase their stats.

Even if not the Authority of Greed, demons in the top 10 would possess ‘Presence,’ which would help strengthen the Stigmata [a mark of divine favor or curse].

‘More than anything, if it’s Zaratan…….’

Se-un recalled the legend of Zaratan he had seen in the Great Library of El Abr.

Zaratan, known to have existed since the creation of the Demon World.

If it was Zaratan’s material, wouldn’t it be able to withstand any weapon summoned by the Authority of Greed?

The more he heard, the more he thought about it, the more enticing the offer became.

‘I wanted to face the demons in the top 10 anyway.’

Facing Zaratan would definitely speed up that plan.

“What do you think?”

“Good.”

Se-un finally nodded.

Zaratan.

Because Se-un was an adventurer, he had a stronger perception of it as a field rather than a monster, so he hadn’t thought of defeating it, but after hearing Zenon’s words, it seemed like a worthy opponent.

“However, let’s delay the timing a bit.”

“I’ve already heard about the last of the Eight Hells. While you’re attacking that place, we’ll locate Zaratan.”

It wasn’t just the Eight Hells. Once all eight pieces of the Torn Scripture were gathered, Se-un planned to head straight to the Temple of Wrath.

If he could safely complete his meeting with Satan there, it would take quite some time.

“Afterward, we’ll lure it to a suitable location for a fight. The timing will probably be similar to when you finish your work.”

Zaratan was a demon called the moving island.

No matter how large it was, finding Zaratan in the vast Demon Sea wouldn’t be easy.

Moreover, luring it was also the same.

Se-un nodded, considering the time it would take.

“Do that.”

“I’m excited. To think the day would come when I’d tame Zaratan…….”

Zenon’s eyes sparkled.

Although his swordsmanship was excellent, he was still a tamer. He was closer to a trainer. It was only natural for him to be interested in rare monsters.

“Isn’t that getting ahead of yourself? We haven’t even caught it yet.”

“Haha, isn’t it obvious? That’s because the person sitting in front of me right now is…….”

Zenon looked at Se-un with calm eyes again and continued.

“The Master of Diablo.”

* * *

Time passed quickly.

The equipment requested from Go Chang-seok was all made, and the heat-resistant robes were distributed to those who had been informed in advance.

Having experienced heat in the Great Scorching Hell that even robes couldn’t handle, he had also obtained related potions from Lee Ha-neul this time.

“How is the equipment?”

“I like it. It feels sturdier than before.”

“Haha, although it may not match your strength, it is steadily improving. I will do my best until I can create equipment worthy of you.”

In addition to the robes, he also received the shield and scythe that had been broken this time, as well as various equipment to use any treasure with the Authority of Greed, and stored them in the All-Purpose Box.

After all preparations were completed, in the center of Diablo.

Se-un and 32 guild members were gathered.

“Thank you, everyone.”

These were the people who had gathered to fill the minimum of 32 members expected for the last of the Eight Hells.

“It’s the Guild Master’s request, of course.”

“Is it going to be hot again this time? Ugh.”

“Still, I’m not too worried since I’m with the Guild Master.”

“That’s a given.”

Everyone had gathered for Se-un, and the details had been announced in advance, so there was nothing else to say.

The equipment check had also been done in advance, so Se-un ended his words of gratitude and immediately signaled the start.

Everyone’s vision twisted, and they finally arrived at the Trial of the 79th Floor.

– Welcome to the Trial of the 79th Floor.

– Theme: Demon Sea.

– The endlessly 펼쳐진 [unfurling] red sea, Demon Sea.

– Acquire ranks and survive.

– Then the Demon World will lead you to your final battlefield.

“Wow, the sea!”

“This is the first time in my life I’ve seen such a stuffy sea.”

“It’s definitely open, but…….”

“Why is the sea breeze so fishy? It’s not salty, it almost smells like blood.”

“As expected of the Demon World.”

The vast red sea.

This sea was none other than the symbol of the Demon Sea.

However, unlike a normal sea, there was almost no wind, so instead of high waves, only gentle ripples stirred on the sea.

It was more like a wide lake than a sea.

“Survival is simple, but how long do we have to be here?”

“I know, right? This is the first time we’ve done it this way. They don’t even tell us how long we have to survive.”

Se-un knew the answer, but he didn’t bother to answer the question.

It was more helpful for each person’s growth to deduce and be careful on their own than to tell them the answer.

That was the principle Se-un had adhered to with the Diablo guild members so far.

Se-un silently recalled the compass of journey and concentrated, then opened his eyes and said to Zenon.

“The error will be a bit large, but there’s a high probability it’s in the west. At least it’s definitely not the east, so keep that in mind and look for it.”

“Excluding one of the four directions in this great sea is already a great help. Then, I’ll see you later.”

The first thing Se-un found was Zaratan’s location.

Of course, even with the compass of journey, it wasn’t easy to guess its location in this vast Demon Sea without any particular hints in a short amount of time.

So, after only giving a vague location, he immediately designated a new goal.

‘The last of the Eight Hells.’

Before regression, he couldn’t find its location even with the compass of journey, but it was different now.

The orange light flowed from the seven scriptures in his arms, and the compass of journey was dyed the same color, clearly pointing in one direction.

“But, hyung [older brother/respected one], how are we supposed to get around here? I see islands here and there, but they look like they’re teeming with monsters between the rocks.”

The Diablo Guild was currently standing on an island.

Even if it was an island, it wasn’t a lush island, but a rocky island with not even a single blade of grass, contrary to the meaning of survival.

The closest island was quite far away, and it didn’t seem easy to swim there.

“Don’t worry. It’ll appear soon.”

“Appear? What…….”

Kugugung!

“Aaaagh!”

“Ah, don’t make such a fuss! It’s so loud! Is this the first time you’ve seen a monster? Are you going to be surprised every time?”

“You little brat, you were in the back!”

“Tsk, scaredy-cat.”

“Coward.”

“What? You little things!”

“Our guts are much bigger, you know?”

The largest rock in the center of the rocky island stirred and soared high.

A rock crab carrying a rock like a hermit crab carrying a shell.

The one whose whole body was made of rock looked powerful at first glance.

It raised its thick pincers, looking at those who had invaded its territory, but.

– Through internal energy, the first form of the Breaking Rock Sword, Shattering Heaven, is enhanced.

Kwagwang!!

Before it could even lower its pincers, it was shattered by Se-un’s sword.

No matter how hard the rock was, it couldn’t withstand the sword strike of Durandal, which had the nickname ‘the sword that splits rocks’.

“Wow, no way.”

“Hyung, I believed in you!”

“It looked quite strong, even if it wasn’t a boss monster…….”

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ says his teeth are strong, so you don’t have to worry, and waits with his mouth wide open.

Se-un, who had sheathed his sword, shook his head as he looked at Beelzebub’s message.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t use the Authority of Gluttony right now.

“Huh? That.”

“What, why is it rolling?”

The fragments of the broken rock crab were rolling towards the sea.

They were connected sparsely like stepping stones, and soon connected to the closest island.

That’s right. This was one of the characteristics of the Demon Sea.

To solve the trials that exist on each island and head to the next island.

And the compass of journey.

“Let’s go.”

Was pointing to the east, where the stepping stones were connected.
