Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 600

Swish.

Her skin cracked, and the deadly poison flowed into her bloodstream through the wound.

Seun was about to heal her immediately, but she shook her head, wincing at the terrible pain. She continued speaking.

“This is where it first happened. It was such a trivial thing. My fingertip just brushed against this leaf, and the deadly poison spread throughout my body.”

“The treatment…”

“Of course, I took care of it right away. I used various detoxification potions and healed the wound. I was relieved when the pain subsided immediately, and I continued walking.”

“Was everyone else okay?”

“Yes. Everyone was more careful. Thanks to my luck, I was able to find an easier path.”

The two walked side by side on the Path of Wood.

Knowing the precautions, they covered their bodies with protective gear, but the poison here wasn’t just transmitted by touch.

The fluttering butterflies spread poisonous powder, and the pollen that burst from the beautiful flowers also contained poison.

“I told you there was nothing to worry about as long as I had my luck. I broke through the path quickly. Everyone was so busy watching out for the poison that they didn’t have time to observe others.”

The Path of Wood was long.

No monsters appeared, but the threatening elements around them were so overwhelming that it would have been better if monsters had appeared and rampaged.

If you let your guard down even a little, you would be exposed to deadly poison.

After a period of silence, just before they were about to escape the Path of Wood, she raised her arm.

“My arm!”

Her arm was poisoned.

The deadly poison that first entered through her fingertip was rotting her arm, spreading pus, and turning her skin blue.

“When we got out of the Path of Wood, everyone cheered. And then I saw it. The last friend who came out barely made it out of the Path of Wood with a swollen body…”

“Let’s treat you right away.”

“Before I could do anything, they collapsed.”

Seun immediately healed her arm.

The 8-circle White Magic was capable of restoring even severed limbs, so he could fully restore her with enough time.

Moreover, thanks to her considerable immunity, the poison was unable to spread beyond her arm.

“We lost one person like that. So futilely.”

“Wouldn’t it have been better to go back then?”

“I didn’t think I could let my colleague’s sacrifice be in vain. Besides, we would have had to go through the Path of Wood again to return.”

“I guess so.”

“So, we walked the next path.”

The Path of the Five Elements, the second one.

The Path of Fire.

Just like on the 81st floor, just like at the entrance of the 83rd floor, hot flames flickered here, trying to swallow the challengers.

The only difference was that the stepping stones protruding just enough to barely place half a foot on the lava overflowing in all directions were the path.

“It was dangerous, but everyone was confident. No matter what anyone said, we were the ones who made it up to the 83rd floor. We tried hard not to let our colleague’s sacrifice be in vain.”

“Let’s go.”

Her arm was fully recovered, and the two stepped onto the Path of Fire.

The stepping stones were so small that they could only be stepped on by tiptoeing, with lava boiling on both sides and hot winds blowing above, making it very difficult to maintain balance.

“Until the middle, there was nothing to worry about. We helped each other and somehow walked the path. And then, at that time…”

콰앗! [Sound of an explosion]

“Hot lava swallowed one of us.”

Lava spewed out between Seun and Arcana.

The lava spewed out randomly.

Normally, they could have blocked it somehow, but on these small stepping stones, it was a disaster that was nearly impossible to stop, whether they were warriors or mages.

“There was no time to do anything. There was no time to help, and we helplessly lost one person.”

“That’s the dungeon.”

High risk, high return.

If you weren’t confident, you had to turn back immediately.

To not let your colleague’s sacrifice be in vain?

No. Escaping here and staying alive is how you don’t let your colleague’s sacrifice be in vain.

But why didn’t they know that fact even though they had climbed up to the 83rd floor?

The answer is simple.

It was because they had been too lucky climbing up to the 83rd floor.

“We couldn’t save them. It was literally instant death. We swallowed our tears and screams and quickly crossed the path. As if we wanted to forget, no one mentioned it.”

You face many dangers in the Tower.

Facing these threats, players grow and learn what to give up and what not to give up.

In contrast, her party was too lucky.

They succeeded in almost everything and climbed the Tower with bright smiles.

So, this kind of thing happened.

Her words continued only after the two had crossed the Path of Fire.

“One person got angry at me. Why did this happen? Why did such an unfortunate thing happen? It’s because of you.”

“That…”

“I couldn’t make excuses. I didn’t know either. Why such misfortune befell me.”

Certainly, it’s strange.

Even if it was randomly spewing lava, with her luck, if it was a party receiving her luck, they wouldn’t have been helplessly swallowed by the lava.

“The leader stopped her, but she kept pushing me. And she…”

Arcana looked at the next path.

The Path of Earth.

A cliff with pits leading to the abyss everywhere, constant earthquakes, and falling rocks.

It was the path the two faced after passing the Path of Fire.

“On the Path of Earth, she fell into the abyss.”

“Why?”

“Unfortunately, a rock rolled towards her. She avoided it somehow, but she fell into the pit. I reached out my hand, but I couldn’t reach her.”

The more I heard, the stranger it became.

Her power is luck.

But the story I’m hearing now is full of misfortune.

As Seun and Arcana listened to her story, they were already reaching the end of the Path of Earth.

“The leader didn’t take my side either. Silence continued, and the leader and my best friend looked at me with trembling eyes.”

“You couldn’t…give up, could you?”

“We’ve already come this far. It would have been safer and faster to move forward than to go back.”

“I guess so.”

The Path of the Five Elements consists of five trials.

Having passed three trials, going back would have been even more difficult.

“And in the Trial of Metal…”

The Trial of Metal.

Sharp metal thorns flew from all directions.

Arrows flew, and thorn walls fell.

“In the end, my colleague couldn’t stand it and ran away. ‘It’s all because of me. If I stay by your side, I’ll end up dying.’”

“So what happened?”

“She died. The moment she fell away from me, she was crushed by a metal wall that fell from above.”

Having heard this far, Seun could guess something.

Misfortune suddenly intervened in her life, which was full of luck to the point of distorting causality.

Even in such a dangerous moment.

The story wasn’t over yet, but the party leader would die on the last path.

Seun could deduce the cause.

“Could it be that a Constellation [a powerful being, like a god] interfered?”

“Yes.”

Her luck.

In other words, the only entity that could interfere with causality is a Constellation.

I don’t know what method they used, but they turned her luck into misfortune.

However, what is the reason?

The answer was quickly found.

“It was a dispute. They coveted me, who had entered the Goddess’s embrace, and emphasized my misfortune to show the Goddess’s incompetence.”

“Is that possible?”

“Ironically, it was possible because my power was luck. If you twist my power just a little, this result is created.”

“Then, the reason why Tike [the Goddess] is sorry to you is…”

“Yes. Because she lost her colleagues because of herself. And yet, she couldn’t protect them. She seems to keep that in mind. Our kind, incompetent Goddess.”

The words Tike had said in Death Hill came to mind.

*Please take care of Arcana.*

I remembered her asking with a posture that seemed like she would bow her head, unlike a god.

Now I understand the reason a little bit.

“And on the last Path of Water.”

The two walked the last Path of the Five Elements.

The Path of Water.

It was a path across an ocean that you didn’t know when it would end.

The body feels as heavy as if it’s carrying a thousand pounds, sinking endlessly, and waves crash every time you breathe.

“The leader saved me.”

“Not you saving them, but that leader person?”

“Yes. He protected me from a sudden tidal wave and saved me.”

“What happened after that?”

“I lost consciousness. He dragged me across the ocean with a broken arm and water in his lungs. With that body, he took me to the end of the path.”

I couldn’t even imagine it.

Intentional misfortune was coming due to the interference of the Constellations, but he broke through it with his body.

To protect her even to that extent.

“When I came to my senses, his body was already beyond recovery.”

“…”

“At that time, the leader told me.”

Seun and Arcana crossed the Path of Water.

The path led by luck, not misfortune, was so noble. It made me wonder if this was really a path of hardship.

“I didn’t know anything yet. Even I didn’t know the reason for the misfortune. The leader told me as if he knew everything.”

She looked at the ocean she had passed. And she looked at the floor where he had collapsed and gasped for breath.

“He said he understood. He said it was okay. He said everything would be alright. He told me not to be swayed in the future…to live happily, without worry. And…he was sorry.”

What kind of relationship did she and the leader have?

Even if I don’t know, they must have had a very close relationship since they had always been together from the tutorial to the 83rd floor.

The Diablo Guild that Seun is thinking of, no, her colleague was a party unit, not a guild, so the number was small, so they must have been even closer.

“After that, I almost lost my mind for a while. That’s how I got to the 90th floor.”

“Did you…pass the trial?”

“Yes. I passed, but the message asking if I would go to the tenth rest area also came to mind, but I couldn’t choose it.”

“So.”

“Yes. I went back to Lilac. Even though it’s a dark city, it was the place where our party had the most fun.”

With this, her story ended.

No, what Seun heard was at most the story that happened on this Path of the Five Elements.

Her actual life must have been too long to tell all of it in this place.

– You have perfectly cleared the hidden dungeon, ‘Path of the Five Elements.’

– As a reward, your personal contribution increases by 10,000,000 points.

…..

The dungeon clear message appeared in front of them, but neither of them paid attention to the message.

“So, why are you telling me this? No, why did you follow me?”

In fact, I still don’t know. Why she followed Seun from Lilac.

If she stopped attacking because she had a wound, there was no reason to follow him, and there was nothing related to Seun in her life.

It’s a bit lacking in evidence to simply say that she noticed that Seun was a regressor and became interested.

“Constellation.”

“Constellation?”

“Mr. Wolf, you’re going to reach the Canal [a pathway to higher dimensions], right?”

“It’s just a process, but I’ll have to go eventually. To stop Outer.”

“That’s why.”

She put on her original relaxed expression.

“Seeing Mr. Wolf, I suddenly thought of our stupid leader who said he would reach God. Honestly, there’s nothing similar, though.”

“Are you going to take revenge?”

“Revenge? That would be nice too. But it’s not that grand…”

She raised her head and looked above.

Not the ceiling of the dungeon, but a higher place than that.

She looked at the Canal in the Constellation’s rest area somewhere above and said.

“I just want to hit those Constellations in the back of the head back then.”
