Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 575

“Ten times a day? That’s a record, human.”

“I could do more if I just rested a bit.”

“Can’t you see my condition? I’m about to dry up and die. I’ll prepare more for tomorrow, so come back then.”

“I will.”

“Heh heh, you monster.”

In the end, I only managed to enter ten baths today.

It was a bit disappointing, but when I thought about it, this seemed like the perfect amount.

‘I need to recover my mana too.’

My circles [referring to levels of magical ability] were completely empty from using healing magic repeatedly.

Even though I kept using recovery magic, the fatigue in my body continued to accumulate, and the mental fatigue was indescribable.

‘I used a lot of Contribution Points, but….’

I used a whopping fifty million Contribution Points today alone.

It was a huge amount, but I had earned quite a lot of Contribution Points recently through the trials, so it was okay.

Besides, I was planning to sell all the items I got from the trials at the auction house, so I had plenty of Contribution Points to spare.

And so, the next day.

“Heh heh, you came.”

“Is it ready?”

“Of course, I prepared it. I’m not taking any other customers today. Let’s go all out until you or I die!”

Se-un visited the baths again as expected.

He should have recovered a bit after resting for a day, but Hidro was skinny and withered, probably because he had already extracted the curse from his body as he said he would ‘prepare’.

Indeed, the sound of the bath boiling could be heard constantly from inside.

An enormous amount of smoke, incomparable to yesterday, billowed into the sky and intertwined.

“Let’s go.”

“Follow me. I have something in mind for the first one. You won’t be able to keep your wits about you in there. Heh heh heh.”

The first bath Hidro led me to was a purple bath.

It shimmered without any viscous substance, and the color was pale. Just by looking at it, it seemed like nothing special compared to the other bizarre baths.

‘Judging by his confidence, it won’t be an easy bath.’

I was curious about what kind of bath it was, but the conclusion was the same.

Se-un immediately plunged into the purple liquid, and the effect appeared instantly.

‘…Dizziness?’

As soon as I entered the bath, my head started spinning.

Headaches and dizziness arose, and it was difficult to even maintain a sitting position.

“It seems you’re quite skilled at recovery, but mental attacks are hard to recover from. How is it?”

It seemed he had prepared this after seeing Se-un’s performance yesterday.

However, Se-un was actually happy.

‘I can save mana with this.’

The dizziness was getting worse, but it was just dizziness.

I didn’t need to use magic to recover, so I just had to endure it.

My head was spinning as if I had motion sickness, but Se-un was quite used to motion sickness from flying in the sky with Turik’s help.

Se-un, who finished bathing without any special recovery magic, looked at Hidro, who was gaping.

“Next?”

“You’re worse than a demon…”

* * *

– You have immersed yourself in the Petrification Bath.

– The skin of your entire body is hardening.

– Resistance to petrification increases.

– Skin regeneration increases.

The Petrification Bath, where my body started to harden as if I had made eye contact with Medusa [a figure from Greek mythology who could turn people to stone] as soon as I entered.

“Heh heh heh! You can’t withstand this by recovering! You’re done for now….”

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Remove Curse ]

– A spell that removes curses spread on the caster, but its effect and speed vary greatly depending on the caster’s level.

“…You’re not. You monstrous demon.”

Recovery didn’t work, but if it was a curse, I could recover with other magic.

Se-un had reached the 8th Circle in both the White Tower’s magic and the Black Tower’s magic, so there was no problem.

‘Heal slowly if possible.’

I had to focus on natural recovery as much as possible. That way, I could gain more when I left the bath.

I held on by releasing the curse and recovering my body just before it reached a dangerous level.

As a result, time passed quickly.

– You have immersed yourself in the Yechang Bath.

– You have immersed yourself in the Dark Stream Bath.

– You have immersed yourself in the Lightning Bath.

…….

Se-un began to conquer all the baths here.

“How can you soak in dozens of baths every day without resting….”

“Next?”

“Can’t you see my condition? I’m going to dry up and die, really!”

“Didn’t you say let’s go all out until you or I die?”

“Damn it… Let’s go, let’s go!”

Contribution Points were being consumed at an enormous rate.

Even Se-un was having a hard time enduring it with the Contribution Points he had.

Well, it didn’t really matter.

“Hyungnim [an honorific term for older brother or respected senior]! Everything’s sold!”

“What about the price?”

“Hehe, who do you think I am? I looked at the market trends and put them up perfectly! I even secretly participated in the auctions for the good ones to raise the price!”

“You’ll get kicked out if you get caught, be careful.”

“Hey, who do you think I am? I’m Hyungnim’s right-hand man! I already slipped some snacks into the pockets of the useful guys!”

The items Se-un had obtained from the trials were being sold steadily.

Other players wouldn’t get many items even if they cleared the trials, but who was Se-un?

He knew all sorts of hidden dungeons and swept up items almost without limit through the subspace pocket.

So the points he earned were also enormous.

“How many baths are left, did you say?”

“…Fourteen.”

“I’ll pay in advance.”

“You’re going to make it impossible for me to back out? You evil monster, worse than a demon.”

“Fine, if you don’t want it.”

“I’ll take you to the next bath. Customer.”

Contribution Points were pouring in to the point where he paid for all the remaining baths in a lump sum.

I told Park Jung-pil that I would give him a commission if he sold them well, and he was selling the items better than I thought.

A surprising talent, I suppose?

Another day passed like that.

“…This is the last bath, you bastard.”

“99? That’s a surprisingly ambiguous number.”

Se-un finally entered the last bath.

I thought it would be special because it was the last one, but it wasn’t.

I didn’t even need to use magic like before.

Se-un’s resistance to most attributes, immunity to status ailments, physical defense, and body regeneration were already so high that he endured the terrible pain and not long after.

– You have immersed yourself in the True Demon Bath.

– The magic of the True Demon Bath is invading the skin of your entire body.

– Resistance to magic increases.

– Skin regeneration increases.

The magic of the True Demon Bath was completely absorbed into Se-un’s body.

It wasn’t just defensive measures like resistance, immunity, and regeneration, but also the energy and muscles spread throughout my body felt strengthened.

I had to check how much stronger I had become, but I could feel it even if I just stood still.

Se-un clenched and unclenched his fist with a satisfied feeling.

“There have been many who have soaked in all the baths so far, but you are the first and last to conquer all the baths in such a short time.”

“Thank you.”

Now, everything to do here was over.

My immunity had also increased, so my worries about possible incidents in the next combat zone had disappeared.

So, I was about to move right away when.

“Are you… interested in the next stage?”

“Next? Didn’t you say this was the last one?”

“That’s right. This is the last one here. But there’s only one place. The place where these baths originated.”

Se-un perked up his ears.

I knew about the origin of these baths, but Se-un didn’t know that there was a place where they originated.

Besides, a next stage that even Se-un, who was an adventurer, didn’t know about.

I couldn’t help but be tempted.

“Where is it?”

“Heh heh, I knew you’d be interested. Follow me.”

“What’s the price?”

“It’s not necessary. I didn’t make it in the first place, it’s a naturally formed place. Well, I’ve already earned enough points to play around for a while.”

Unexpected kindness.

There was no reason to refuse.

Hidro even hung a ‘Closed’ sign on the entrance and took the lead.

He left Plaka’s residential area and moved further to the outskirts.

“There’s only a rocky mountain ahead.”

“Oh, how do you know that when you haven’t been in Plaka for long? It’s not a particularly famous place.”

How could I not know?

The memory of searching every inch of the rocky mountain, which looked like it had something, but ultimately finding nothing, was still vivid.

To think that there was a place that was the origin of the baths in such a place.

“If that place is also a bath, it would be difficult to hide things like smoke.”

“No smoke. No need to hide it. Just follow me quietly.”

The place we arrived at was the top of the highest rocky mountain among the many rocky mountains.

The floor was flat on the top, giving it an artificial feel, but there was nothing special to see.

The compass of journey didn’t show any special reaction either.

“Hold on.”

“To you?”

“I don’t have a hobby of holding human hands either. You can’t get in otherwise, so hold on for now.”

Hidro’s hand, shimmering with various curses.

Just holding it would allow all sorts of curses to penetrate my body, but I had already built up immunity by going through all the baths, so there was no need to worry.

As soon as I grabbed his hand without worry, I felt the ominous energy unique to curses.

“Don’t throw up.”

Se-un’s body began to melt.

Of course, along with Hidro.

I was flustered and tried to pull my hand out right away, but I realized that this phenomenon wasn’t particularly harmful to my body.

‘Is it a kind of teleportation?’

A teleportation that melts the body.

It felt quite strange.

The bodies of the two, turned into liquid, rippled from the top of the rocky mountain and were sucked into an invisible gap.

‘What is this….’

There was a gap in the top of the rocky mountain.

I couldn’t see properly because my body was melting, but the inside of the rocky mountain, visible through the blurred vision, was overwhelming.

It was as if the entire inside of the rocky mountain was empty.

An unknown liquid, similar to what Hidro was dripping, or even more, was constantly flowing down through the tiny gaps between the walls.

And the bottom.

A dark red bath, formed by all the liquids gathering and mixing on the floor, was spread wide.

“Here it is. A place called ‘Demon God’s Blood (魔神血)’ that is rarely formed even in the Demon Realm. Plaka only has one left here.”

It was obviously not an ordinary place.

Demon God’s Blood.

It contained a power that was hard to compare to the baths Se-un had been in so far.

And one more thing.

“Ah, that’s right. I forgot. It doesn’t matter, but there’s a guest here.”

The outer edge of the bath.

The broad back of a man could be seen there.

A huge physique with bulging muscles reminiscent of Kang Han-cheol.

A man with a familiar appearance.

He also noticed Se-un’s presence, turned his head, made eye contact, and shouted as he jumped up from his seat.

“Oh! Isn’t that Player Jung Se-un!”

Brinjar.

The leader of the Valhalla Guild.
