Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 56

The Goblin Lord’s Vault – Chapter 56

Swish-

The large axe in Se-un’s hand scattered into gold dust and disappeared.

It was a shame to use such a one-time item, but he had no choice.

Even if the twin sisters made siege weapons, it would take a long time. Besides, there was no guarantee that they could break through the Golden Castle’s sturdy gates with them.

Rather than gamble on uncertainty, it was better to choose a sure thing, even if it meant sacrificing a weapon.

After all, Se-un had acquired many useful weapons while raiding the five castles.

“A-attack!”

“Squeak! I don’t know what trick he used, but the weapon that broke the gate is already gone!”

“For the glory of the Golden Castle!”

The orcs were flustered when the gate they had trusted so much was destroyed.

However, befitting their A+ rating, they quickly regained their senses and drew their weapons, aiming them at Se-un.

But before they could even take a step, Se-un’s arm rose, and his mana circuit spun furiously.

-The power of ‘Frozen Wave’ is enhanced by the mysteries of the Black Tower.

Crack!

“Squeak!”

The floor of the castle froze over with a chilling cold.

This naturally spread to the orcs standing on the floor, and those wearing metal boots became one with the ground as if magnets were attached to their feet.

No matter how hard they tried, their feet wouldn’t budge, and they couldn’t take off their boots due to the nature of their full-body armor.

Se-un looked at them and pulled out a new weapon.

“I have plenty of weapons besides that.”

-The third form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Strike, is enhanced through internal energy.

Roar!

A sharp wolf’s howl echoed.

The internal energy that rose around Se-un rippled, creating the form of a blood-colored wolf.

The moment Se-un swung his sword, the wolf followed his movement, baring its fangs and pouncing on the orcs who couldn’t move.

“Kuh-!”

The ice on the floor couldn’t withstand the wolf’s attack and shattered.

Those who fell to the ground were cut and bitten by the wolf, leaving gruesome wounds as they met their end.

“Squeak, it’s him! He’s the one who destroyed our castle gate!”

“Attack!”

New orcs appeared from inside the castle.

The moment Se-un pulled out a new weapon and tried to open the Goblin Lord’s Vault.

-Player Lee Ha-neul uses ‘Blood-Soaked Ward’.

Whoosh!

A new attack flew towards the orcs.

It was support from the clan’s healer, Lee Ha-neul.

“Everyone, hang in there!”

“Back up the Blood Wolf!”

“Attack!”

Unlike before his regression, Se-un was no longer alone.

“Se-un, hurry and go!”

“Hyung [term of endearment used by younger males to address older males], I’ll clear a path!”

Se-un’s clan charged in, instantly opening a path.

Even though it was impossible for Se-un’s clan to face the Glory Orcs head-on, they all believed that if they could clear a path and buy time, Se-un would finish it.

If that’s the case.

“I’m counting on you.”

Thud!

He had no choice but to live up to their expectations.

Se-un kicked off the ground and dashed through the opened path.

“Squeak! Stop him!”

Kaboom!

“Squeak! Wh-what is it?”

Stones were falling from the sky. Not just one, but two giant rocks falling at the same time.

The twin sisters, smiling brightly, came to mind as soon as he saw them.

-The Constellation, ‘Black Bird,’ is intrigued by the method of charging the catapult.

-The Constellation, ‘Great Bird,’ admires the application of authority.

The size of the stones loaded onto the catapult was enormous, impossible for one or two people to lift.

Moreover, the twin sisters didn’t have Kang Han-cheol’s strength, so it was impossible for them to charge the catapult with their own power.

Therefore, Se-un left one piece of advice before joining the battle.

‘How about using that authority like this?’

Reduce the size of the rocks.

Of course, the two birds’ authority couldn’t reduce the size of ordinary materials. So, Se-un told them to shape the rocks into round shapes that were easy to load onto the catapult.

As a result, the rocks became ‘ammunition’ for the catapult instead of materials, and they were able to successfully reduce their size.

Bang, rumble!

“Another one’s coming!”

“Squeak! How can they launch such large rocks like that…!”

Thanks to that, the twin sisters were able to continuously launch rocks.

Se-un’s senses, enhanced with all sorts of treasures, allowed him to roughly estimate the landing positions of the rocks and avoid them.

On the other hand, the orcs couldn’t easily dodge the rocks flying towards them, even though they could see them coming, because they were in formation.

But that was only for a moment.

“We have no choice! Scatter!”

“Squeak! Scatter!”

In the end, the orcs broke their formation.

Otherwise, they would only be crushed by the rocks, resulting in meaningless sacrifices.

Well, thanks to that.

Thud!

Se-un’s movements became even faster.

With the formation broken, no matter how hard the orcs tried to stop Se-un, gaps would inevitably appear.

-The power of ‘Frozen Wave’ is enhanced by the mysteries of the Black Tower.

Shiver!

Even in the midst of all that, the feet of the orcs rushing to catch Se-un froze solid.

-The Vault of Greed is opened.

[ Loach Skill ]

– One of the Qingcheng Sect’s martial arts, named after the loach, a type of fish [a small, eel-like freshwater fish], it is a footwork technique that allows one to evade an opponent’s attacks as smoothly as water flows.

Even those who dodged the ice and rushed at him couldn’t inflict even a small scratch on Se-un.

Swish, whoosh!

Sword, spear, blunt weapon, etc. No weapon could touch Se-un.

Loach Skill.

A footwork technique that allows one to cleverly escape an opponent’s attack range, just like a loach slipping out of one’s grasp.

Because there were so many orcs, his internal energy and mana were rapidly decreasing, but Se-un didn’t care at all.

‘If I can just find the lord.’

Se-un was only looking for one thing: the lord.

He only used the Loach Skill to evade the rest with minimal internal energy, without even thinking about attacking.

Of course, in the meantime.

-The second form of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Fang, is enhanced through internal energy.

“Cough! Glug!”

He didn’t forget to slit the throat of an orc who appeared to be a commander.

Killing ordinary soldiers only neutralized their individual combat power, but taking out a commander reduced the combat power of the entire unit by more than 20%.

After climbing the high stairs, crossing the golden banners, and passing over the walls that formed the inner castle, a building that appeared to be the royal palace finally appeared.

Unlike the noisy outside, the inner castle was eerily quiet, as if it were a different world.

“Intruder. Are you alone?”

“Looks like the Royal Guard.”

“That’s right. We are the lord’s direct Royal Guard, the Golden Knights.”

“You’re orcs, alright. You named yourselves so carelessly.”

Crack!

About twenty orcs frowned simultaneously.

Although he casually brushed it off with a joke, even a quick glance told him that these guys were different from the orcs he had encountered so far.

Each one seemed stronger than a commander.

Indeed, the Golden Castle.

It seemed impossible to find the lord so easily.

“It is commendable that you infiltrated this far alone, but the Golden Knights will not tolerate you any further.”

Thud!

As if they had rehearsed it, they all slammed their weapons into the ground at the same time.

That alone showed how well-trained they were. Their weapon skills must be just as impressive.

Frankly, these orc Royal Guards were probably more powerful than the average player who had just passed the third chapter of the tutorial.

From the beginning, the Golden Castle was known to have been conquered extremely rarely in the history of the tutorial.

‘Was one of the conquest cases I heard about Kashalaka’s clan?’

Kashalaka.

He was a figure who quickly rose to the top of the Tower’s rankings despite entering the Tower late.

Well, it was inevitable. He was a ‘Dragon,’ a member of the noble mana race.

His clan was also said to be composed of Guardians who protected the dragon, so even the Golden Castle couldn’t have withstood them.

He wasn’t a player who needed to go through stages like the tutorial in the first place.

“Whether you tolerate me or not, you’re not going to let me go back peacefully anyway, right?”

“You know well. Attack!”

“Attack!”

Boom!

The orcs rushed towards Se-un.

Perhaps because of the weight of their thick armor, the ground rumbled every time they moved their feet.

In the meantime, the vibrations were so consistent that it felt as if only one orc was walking.

Looking at the formation of twenty orcs, it was like looking at an iron wall.

There were no blind spots to avoid attacks, and there were no weaknesses to exploit.

However.

‘I can just create blind spots and weaknesses myself.’

He didn’t expect to get lucky by exploiting openings in the first place.

Whoosh!

Black flames rose from Se-un’s grasp.

A mysterious flame that devoured the surrounding light instead of illuminating it, despite the intense heat that could be felt from afar.

-The power of ‘Dark Flare’ is enhanced by the mysteries of the Black Tower.

Crash!

“Squeak!”

The moment Se-un swung his arm, the flames spread around and swept over the orcs.

There was nothing flammable on the armor the orcs were wearing, but the black flames strangely clung to the orcs like ticks, continuously emitting intense heat.

Dark Flare.

Unlike the magic of the Fire Tower, it was a magic of the Black Tower with a stronger attribute of darkness than fire, so it was a flame that would never go out as long as Se-un continuously supplied mana.

Well, the downside was that it consumed a lot of mana, just like when he used it before.

“Such tricks won’t work on our brave Golden Knights!”

“Doesn’t look like it to me?”

Unlike the orc who was not flustered and was gleaming with his eyes despite his right arm burning, half of the orcs were screaming in pain.

Of course, the formation had long been broken.

While maintaining Dark Flare, Se-un pulled out a blunt weapon.

[ Gnome’s Compressed Mineral ]

Classification: Blunt Weapon

Grade: C

Description: A weapon used by Dantan, the lord of the dirty mine, made by compressing and clumping together high-strength ore mined from the mine.

Abilities: 1. Bumpy – Inflicts 20% additional damage to the enemy after an attack.

2. Uneven – Ignores 40% of the enemy’s defense when attacking armor or shields.

3. Mottled – Inflicts various attribute damage at a certain probability upon attack due to the various compressed minerals.

“Blunt weapons are the answer for tough guys like you.”

Se-un had various weapons, and blunt weapons were one of the weapons that didn’t suit him well, but their armor had almost no gaps, unlike the ones worn by other orcs.

Even if he held an Adder Dagger, it would be difficult to aim for weaknesses.

That’s why he chose this blunt weapon.

With this, he could deliver a cool blow without worrying about tough armor.

“Try blocking this.”

Clang!

Crack-

When Se-un struck down with the blunt weapon, the helmet of the orc who was rolling on the floor to put out the black flames in front of him was crushed.

His head was crushed along with his helmet.

“Sq, squeak!”

-Due to the ‘Wolf’s Threat’ ability of the ‘Red Wolf Armor,’ the nearby Golden Knights are terrified!

-Due to the ‘Intimidation’ ability of the ‘Gray Wolf Cloak,’ charisma is enhanced, further exacerbating the enemy’s fear!

The eyes of the orcs, who had been so confident, began to tremble violently.
