Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 58

“That is…?”

Garden’s eyes widened, as if he, too, had noticed the change in the dagger.

True to its name, which meant ‘white hilt,’ the tooth dagger, now imbued with Carnwennan’s power, emitted a pure white light.

The light was so intense that it effortlessly swallowed the brilliance of the golden armor Garden was wearing.

Garden’s instincts screamed.

He had to get away immediately. That pure white light could not be stopped, not even by golden armor.

However, his axe was stuck in the ground, and his other hand held the sword Seun had dropped. He couldn’t possibly block that attack with his remaining empty hand.

Then?

There was only one way.

Escape.

If he abandoned his weapon, turned his back, and rolled across the floor, he might just save his life.

But.

‘Ah….’

Garden didn’t move.

Contrary to the instincts that were blaring warnings, his reason wouldn’t even entertain the thought of fleeing.

How could a warrior abandon his weapon and show his back? In the name of the valiant Glory Orcs, it was an act he could not forgive himself for.

Moreover, he was the king of all Glory Orcs.

He could not betray his warrior’s conviction.

Besides.

“The qualification of a true… king.”

Looking at the pure white Carnwennan, Garden had finally found the qualification he had been searching for.

The dignity of a true king. The will of a valiant warrior.

All of these things resonated within Carnwennan.

After a moment of silence.

Whoosh!

Seun’s arm moved, and a white flash cut through the air vertically.

As he had expected, the golden armor failed to stop Carnwennan, and Garden’s body was split in half along with the armor, ending the battle.

-You have defeated the lord of the Golden Castle, ‘Gold Garden.’

-Your level has increased.

-Personal contribution increases by 100,000 points.

-Personal contribution increases by an additional 100,000 points for defeating the lord of the Golden Castle alone.

-You have acquired ‘Golden Halberd.’

-You have acquired ‘Armor of Golden Glory.’

Swish-

Seun looked down at the disappearing tooth dagger.

The first weapon Go Chang-seok had made for him. It hadn’t been a long time, but it was the weapon he was most familiar with, thanks to obtaining it early in the tutorial and handing Durandal over to Mammon.

It was a shame that such a weapon was disappearing.

‘I can’t use it forever anyway.’

Seun’s goal wasn’t just to finish the tutorial.

It was to reach the 92nd floor he had reached before his regression. Beyond that, his ultimate goal was to reach the top floor of the tower and stop the Outers.

Unless it was a Mythic-grade item like Durandal, he couldn’t keep using it indefinitely.

-’Gold Garden’ has been devoured.

-All stats increase by 10 due to absorbing nutrients.

The Gluttonous Tooth crunched and chewed Garden’s body along with the golden armor.

Thump!

With that, the golden throne that had been split along with Garden’s body collapsed.

-You have perfectly conquered the ultimate, strongest fortress, ‘Golden Castle.’

-You have achieved an amazing feat.

-Personal contribution increases by 50,000 points as a reward.

-By defeating the lord, you acquire the throne of the Golden Castle.

-During the fifth act of the tutorial, the Golden Castle becomes the property of your clan.

[ Tutorial Fourth Act – Attack ]

-You have successfully completed the quest.

-50,000 points are provided to all survivors of the siege.

-Congratulations! You have successfully completed the fourth act of the tutorial!

-An additional 50,000 points are provided to all participants for capturing the ultimate, strongest fortress!

The short but intense siege came to an end.

Tutorial Management Office.

Tuning was so urgently focused that he was looking at the monitor with a subordinate who had rushed to the team leader’s office, hair flying, rather than calling.

Golden Castle. The strongest fortress that had rarely been captured in the tower’s long history.

That place was now occupied by Seun’s clan.

“T, Team Leader. What do we do about this?”

“About what?”

“The Golden Castle! Other Constellations will surely complain!”

Tuning understood the subordinate’s words.

The reason why Seun’s clan was able to find the Golden Castle and conquer it so quickly? One of the reasons was thanks to the ‘Tutorial Pass’ that Tuning had given them.

Among the Constellations, there would surely be someone who would hold him responsible for the pass.

Why didn’t he give the pass to their promising player? Wasn’t this unfair?

They didn’t even care that they had sent Seun ahead in the third area for their promising players.

However, Tuning’s reaction was different from before.

“Do you think those promising little kids could have occupied the Golden Castle?”

“Yes? No, that would be difficult….”

“Pass or no pass, throughout history, there has only been one player who has occupied the Golden Castle. Especially, this is the first time a human has conquered it.”

“That’s just our opinion! If the Constellations recklessly attack….”

“Do you even know which Constellation is watching that player?”

“I didn’t look that far….”

“One of the Seven Demon Gods who rule over the Demon World. The Demon God of Greed, Mammon.”

“…Mammon?”

The subordinate couldn’t help but lose his composure for a moment.

Who was Mammon? He was a major figure who ruled the evil god’s camp, and no Constellation could treat him carelessly.

However, the reason why the subordinate was surprised was not just because of that.

“I know that most of the Seven Demon Gods don’t have contractors….”

“Yes, that’s the problem.”

Basically, unlike the benevolent gods who are interested in the lower floors of the tower and enjoy entertainment, the evil gods rarely get involved in what happens on the lower floors of the tower.

Of course, they would get involved when it comes to their contractors, but as I said before, they rarely contracted with players.

Even more so for tutorial players who haven’t even arrived at the tower.

No matter how famous a player is, the evil gods barely give them a glance.

“Such a Demon God, and two of them are attached [referring to being patrons of Seun].”

“Yes? Which Demon God besides Mammon….”

“The Demon God of Gluttony, Beelzebub.”

“That can’t be!”

“It’s not the end. Baal, Agares, Gamigin, Marbas, Valefor, etc. Most of the 72 Demon Kings of Hell are watching that clan closely.”

This was information that Tuning had only recently learned. This tutorial was unusually full of Constellations’ interest, so he was busy managing promising players.

Because of that, the moment Tuning investigated Seun’s clan, he had to fall into shock and fear.

What if he had given Seun disadvantages while being mindful of other Constellations?

It was possible that the Demon God’s complaint would have been filed with the management office for the first time in history.

“You understand? No matter how promising they are, how many of them reach the level of the Demon God?”

“Almost… none.”

“Yes. Now is not the time to worry about those little kids.”

Tuning grabbed the pen tightly and looked at Seun on the monitor.

A human. Moreover, a human who came from an ordinary dimension called Earth, where there is no magic or superpowers, was bringing tremendous shock to the tutorial.

And Tuning was able to understand in earnest.

“From now on, we will form a special task force. Jeong Seun. Thoroughly investigate and analyze that player’s clan.”

“Yes, yes! I understand!”

That human would soon bring a tremendous ripple effect to the tower.

“Everyone, you worked hard!”

“Thank you for your hard work!!”

After the occupation of the Golden Castle was over.

After cleaning up the castle and moving the luggage, the sun was already setting.

Everyone was tired, but thanks to the joy of victory, smiles were blooming on everyone’s faces.

That’s because not a single casualty occurred while conquering the Golden Castle.

Of course, there were quite a few injured, but thanks to the clan’s healer, Lee Ha-neul, most of the wounds could be healed quickly.

“Everyone, you’ve been waiting for a long time!”

“It’s food!”

“I found some decent ingredients and seasonings in the castle’s warehouse, so I prepared a proper meal for the first time in a while! There’s plenty, so eat as much as you want!”

“Wow!”

The long-awaited meal time.

What came out as the menu was not the usual roasted meat or meat stew seasoned with tree nuts.

Tender bulgogi [Korean marinated beef] made with wild boar meat, soft braised ribs, spicy chicken stew made with the meat of the cold wind falcon, etc.

All kinds of delicious dishes were laid out before them.

“How long has it been since I’ve eaten a proper meal like this!”

“I will enjoy the meal!”

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ drools over your table while tearing off an orc’s leg.

Everyone quickly picked up the food as if possessed by something.

They had never gone hungry until now, but this was the first time they had a proper meal like this since starting the tutorial.

However, what Seun paid attention to was the power contained in the food rather than the taste of the food.

‘This isn’t ordinary food.’

As evidence, the moment Seun tore off a braised rib.

-You have consumed Mi Jeong-pyo’s special braised chicken.

-Movement speed increases by 10% for one day.

-Agility increases by 5 for one day.

Quite a great buff [temporary enhancement] came on.

‘Even if you have a unique skill for cooking, to increase your skills so quickly….’

It must have been influenced by the Constellation.

Thinking so, when he raised his head, as expected, a Constellation message was floating above her.

-The Constellation, ‘Bizarre Constellation,’ smells the food and shines with satisfaction.

Bizarre Constellation. The 10th-ranked Demon King, Buer.

I knew that he mainly had knowledge of herbs or mental abilities, but I didn’t know that he would be interested in cooking.

Looking around, there were quite a few clan members who were showing interest in other Demon Kings as well.

‘That means our power has become stronger.’

Seun was satisfied enough.

Because of that, he was able to enjoy a proper meal without any worries for the first time in a long time.

Then, Park Jung-pil’s familiar voice was heard.

“Everyone, pay attention! Hehehe, can you all see what this is?”

Pop!

Along with the sound of something being opened, the smell of piercing fruit spread out.

Not just a simple fruit smell, but this smell that has been aged and fermented for a long time. Without having to drink it, most people could immediately know what it was.

“Alcohol?”

“Is it real alcohol?”

“Gulp…….”

Seun, who had visited the warehouse first as soon as he occupied the Golden Castle, couldn’t find it. I had no idea where or how he found it.

However, everyone couldn’t easily reach out their hands even with alcohol in front of them.

Looking at it, most of them were looking at Seun.

‘I’ve been too strict.’

Leading and directing people is Yoo Seo-ah, but Seun was always the one who determined the direction of the clan and solved problems. That’s why everyone was looking at Seun.

Normally, Seun would have told them to refrain from drinking in preparation for the next day.

‘There won’t be any monsters to fight for the time being.’

Today was different.

-The Treasure Vault of Greed (眞) has been opened.

[ Dew of the Desert ]

– A specialty of the Aswen Kingdom, which rules the vast desert area in the western part of the continent. It is very strong and contains the same hot heat as the desert.

“Is that enough? Tell me anytime if you need more.”

“Keu, you are indeed my brother! Everyone, cheers!”

“Cheers!”

Everyone had a hard time, so it was okay to rest for a day without worry.

Seun threw away his urgency for the first time in a long time and was able to enjoy a proper rest of his mind.
