Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 573

Having finished his rest, Se-un also concluded his conversation with the Diablo Guild.

It was to discuss future directions and plans, but frankly, there was no need. Having lived in the shelter several times, they already knew what to do here.

“I’m thinking of visiting Plaka’s Herb Garden. I think I can learn how to handle the poisonous and medicinal herbs I got from the Demon World.”

“We’re going to check out the soil here! The soil here is so amazing!”

“That’s right, it’s amazing! In Plaka, if you build a building with anything other than this soil, it corrodes quickly!”

“We, Cheonghae, plan to set up a temporary base in the Black Lake and operate from there. Master of Diablo.”

“…Black Lake, may I follow you?”

“Haha, Mr. Suchang is always welcome. Mr. Suchang’s underwater combat skills are superior even compared to our Cheonghae.”

It seemed that they had grasped some understanding of Plaka during the short time Se-un was resting.

“Se-un, is there anything we can help you with? Like searching the Outer areas…”

“It’s okay.”

Se-un shook his head.

After all, he had already assigned the Black Winged Messenger to investigate a few suspicious places, and Se-un was planning to visit the most suspicious one himself.

It was more efficient than using Diablo, who didn’t know much about Plaka yet.

“Have you decided on a plan?”

“I heard there’s a combat zone in Plaka, so I’m going to go there. Mr. Kangcheol is going too.”

“There must be several combat zones.”

“Oh, really? The place I looked up was called Dark Mountain. What about you, Se-un?”

“I’m also going to a kind of combat zone. Ah… before that.”

Numerous combat zones existed in Plaka. Among them, the place Se-un was heading to was no ordinary combat zone.

The most difficult and dangerous combat zone in Plaka.

A forbidden place that even the residents, who didn’t care what outsiders did, would dissuade you from going to.

As such.

“I should use some contribution points first.”

He intended to train himself.

* * *

Leaving the accommodation and walking down the street.

Residents who had completely covered their bodies, pressing down on their cloth coverings, passed Se-un by.

It was obvious that they were trying not to pay attention to Se-un, or rather, to outsiders.

If their shoulders happened to brush against each other.

“Tch…”

“Why did an outsider come to Plaka…”

“Annoying…”

The residents grumbled a lot. However, no one directly picked a fight.

They would dust off their clothes as if outsiders had germs and walk their own way.

‘Well, I guess it can’t be helped.’

The residents in Plaka were all demons.

However, this was the extreme outskirts of Plaka.

Due to Plaka’s characteristic of stronger individuals gathering in the center, weaker demons were pushed to these outskirts.

How weak were they? They were at a level that players who had normally climbed up to the 80th floor could subdue without much trouble.

Therefore, they acknowledged the strength of the players, but they could not accept the fact that those who were not even demons were invading their land.

‘I should change the location of the accommodation soon.’

These people would not look kindly on the accommodation where the Diablo Guild was staying.

The twin sisters said they would research Plaka’s soil, so they would soon be able to build a much better accommodation than the current one.

Unlike Elheim, Plaka had plenty of land.

As he went further into Plaka.

“Stop.”

A huge demon blocked Se-un’s path.

It wasn’t muscle.

A fat demon with his entire body filled with squishy fat.

He held a spear in his hand, making the spear look like a toothpick.

“The weak cannot enter here. If you want to enter, prove your strength…”

Swish.

Se-un’s sword slit the demon’s neck.

Unlike his huge size, the demon’s head fell off without much resistance.

If a player who had just entered Plaka saw this, they would be surprised and ask what he was doing, but the demon who was standing guard next to him simply nodded.

“Strong.”

Surprisingly, the voice came from below.

It was the head of the demon that had just fallen off.

The body, with its neck cut off, naturally picked up the head and fixed it to the neck as if screwing it on.

“Pass, human.”

A bizarre way of passing through Plaka.

However, Se-un was familiar with the scene, so he passed through the two demons without any particular reaction.

‘It used to be difficult.’

Before regression.

The way Se-un, who was an adventurer, passed through this place was by striking the demon’s weak point, which he had learned from the Journey’s Guide.

Of course, Se-un, who had confidently climbed up to the 80th floor at that time, could not be said to be weak, but that was only by using the Journey’s Guide and his head.

His physical strength was lacking.

‘It’s been a while.’

As soon as he passed through the entrance, he saw residents with a completely different aura from those on the outskirts.

The buildings were also made of Plaka’s soil and were crude, but all the residents seemed to have their own strength visible.

Among them were humans. In other words, there were quite a few players as well.

“Is that the new guild that came in this time? They came inside earlier than I thought.”

Even in Elheim, the number of players was less than the number of residents, so Plaka was on a higher floor than that, so naturally the number of players was very small.

As such, new forces naturally caught their attention.

The good thing was that the residents of Plaka, except for the outskirts, did not look at players with discriminatory eyes.

The demons only judged their opponents by strength and weakness.

‘I don’t need to run into them now.’

Looking at them briefly, they were not guilds worth remembering.

The only two guilds that Se-un needed to remember in the Ninth Shelter were the Black Wing Guild, which he had encountered as soon as he entered Plaka, and the Valhalla Guild, which he had first encountered at the auction house.

The rest were just annoying to get involved with.

“Hey, human. If you’re okay, I’ll give you directions. Is this your first time in Plaka?”

“I decline.”

“Don’t be like that…”

Occasionally, there were those who openly spoke to him, but he easily ignored them and continued on his way.

Plaka’s architecture was monotonous, making it very difficult to find your way.

However, this was irrelevant to Se-un.

He had been in and out of this place dozens, hundreds of times before his regression, and even if he didn’t remember, Se-un had the Journey’s Guide.

While continuing to move according to his memory.

“Ugh…”

He saw a player whose entire body was soaked in purple liquid.

Pus was bursting from his skin, and about half of his fingernails were missing.

It was a rather dangerous sight, but no one paid attention to him.

Watching the scene, Se-un also nodded silently instead of interfering.

‘I’m almost there.’

Up ahead.

Suspicious smoke was billowing out from a distance.

Red smoke, purple smoke, and black smoke.

Sometimes various colors were mixed together, and sometimes a large amount of smoke rose up as if a monster was burping.

The common thing was the sense of crisis that was felt instinctively.

The colors and densities were different, but all of those smokes were traces of something extremely dangerous.

“Hehe, there are many guests today.”

The demon in charge of this place spoke to him as he approached.

A demon made up of various colors, as if condensing the smoke seen in front of him.

Even while talking, the color of his body changed frequently and flickered fluorescently.

“Since you seem to be a human I’m seeing for the first time, I’ll give you a brief introduction.”

Bubble-

A sound of something boiling was heard from behind him.

It wasn’t a special sound, but the moment he heard it, he felt a sense of crisis that made his spine tingle.

“This place is… Hehe, yes. It’s a ‘Bathhouse.’”

“A bathhouse.”

“Some human expressed it that way. When I asked, I liked the meaning, so I’m explaining it this way to humans.”

“It seems like there’s nothing in common other than soaking in it?”

“Oh, did you hear about this place in advance? Someone must have exaggerated, but it’s the same. You heat your body, scrub off dirt, and get used to the water.”

A playful tone.

While explaining, he kept chuckling, as if watching a mischievous child.

Players who arrive here for the first time without knowing anything are sometimes deceived by that explanation.

Of course, if they were players with proper thoughts, they would maintain their vigilance after seeing the appearance of players who had already experienced this place, just like the one they had encountered at the entrance.

“How about taking a dip?”

“What kind of bath is it?”

“Did you even hear that? Hehe, you’re no fun. Right now… yes. The Bloodbath [a bath filled with blood] is the warmest. How about going in?”

“I will.”

Dozens of different baths existed here.

Even Se-un from before his regression had not been able to soak in all of those baths, but he had been in the Bloodbath.

As Se-un stepped forward, the demon showed a business smile, extending his wet palm.

“It’s five million points, customer. Hehehe.”

Five million points.

Even though the contribution points earned when attacking trials while climbing the floors had increased, it was still a very high number.

For those who had overcome the trials normally, rather than finding hidden pieces like Se-un and passing the trials in the rankings, it was an amount of contribution points that could be their entire fortune.

However, five million points was not a very heavy amount for Se-un.

Just the contribution points he received after attacking the Asura Road amounted to one hundred million points.

Clatter-

“It’s bath number 5. Go into the reddest one, so don’t get confused and find it well.”

“I’ll prepare the next bath in advance.”

“The next bath? Hehehe, it’s his first time here, so he’s very bold. Do you think you’re the only one like that? Just shut up and go to the Bloodbath.”

“I’ll pay in advance.”

“Oh, thank you, customer!”

Another five million points came into the demon’s possession.

Ten million points in a lump sum.

Se-un paid the amount of contribution points that other players would tremble at without any hesitation.

Just by soaking in a bath once.

“Since you paid in advance, I’ll prepare the bath right away, but you know you can’t use it if it gets cold, right? You can’t get it back if you don’t use it today? Hehehe.”

“Whatever.”

Se-un didn’t even turn his head and headed inside without any regrets.

Dozens of open-air baths were visible through the colorful smoke.

Among them, Se-un stood in front of the fifth Bloodbath that the demon had explained.

As he said, it was redder than any other bath… It was a bath that perfectly matched the name ‘Bloodbath,’ so there was no confusion.

Splash.

Since he had already organized his armor and came lightly dressed when he left the accommodation, there was no need to take off his clothes.

After all, he had spare clothes.

The red liquid covered Se-un’s entire body as he slowly entered the Bloodbath.

And.

Sizzle-!!

A burning sound, as if he was getting burned, burst out, and at the same time, blood began to flow from Se-un’s entire body.
