Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 64

Stole the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 64

Chapter 64

After jumping off the fortress wall, Kang Han-cheol was the first to reach the battlefield. As always, his fist slammed into the ground, creating a massive shockwave.

-Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Declaration of War’.

A more powerful tremor shook the battlefield.

Following closely behind, Se-un landed as lightly as a cat, placing both hands on the traces of the earthquake created by Kang Han-cheol.

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

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

Kugugugu!

It was the same as before.

Black mana filled the cracks in the ground, creating lava that glowed with a dark reddish light. Once the lava had filled the gaps to a satisfactory level,

A fiercely compressed wind was forcefully injected.

A combined skill with Kang Han-cheol, who possessed the power of earthquakes.

-Combined skill with Player Kang Han-cheol. ‘Boiling Battlefield’ is activated!

Boiling Battlefield.

Puwhaaat!

“Kueeek!”

“Kehk, Kehehk! Kkeuhik-”

Previously, it was simply used as an ‘experiment,’ but this time, it was an attack thoroughly employed for ‘actual combat’ after the experiment.

The boiling lava, imbued with the mysteries of the Black Tower, erupted in a dark reddish hue.

The bodies of the monsters that touched the lava didn’t just burn away; they melted and disappeared along with the lava.

The monsters that had managed to break through the traps and were preparing to attack quickly vanished.

And in between them.

-Player Yoo Seo-ah uses ‘Tarantula’s Third Leg’.

Yoo Seo-ah swiftly passed through.

Although the lava erupted randomly, it never touched her body.

The monsters, barely managing to avoid the lava, were helplessly pierced by her sword.

Seogeogeok-

Tarantula’s Third Leg.

Se-un didn’t know the exact effect, but its power was faster and more dazzling than any martial art he knew.

Clearly, she only held two swords in her hands.

Yet, every time she swung her sword, six gashes were etched onto the monsters’ bodies.

The depth of the wounds might seem shallow, leading one to think they wouldn’t inflict much damage, but…….

-Player Yoo Seo-ah uses ‘Tarantula’s Fangs’.

The reality was completely different.

The monsters struck by her sword all foamed at the mouth and collapsed, or their bodies began to rot, starting from the wounded area, turning black.

Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah.

Although it was just a tutorial, both demonstrated powerful strength befitting their ranker status [high-ranking players].

“I’m going ahead.”

“You’re leaving? Our goal is to defend the castle…….”

“You guys can defend the castle well enough on your own, right?”

Se-un met Yoo Seo-ah’s eyes. Her gaze conveyed a stronger sense of trust than ever before.

In response, she nodded her head without realizing it.

“Leave it to me.”

“I’m counting on you.”

In the spot where Se-un had left, Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah exchanged glances and once again charged at the monsters.

* * *

“Shoot, shoot!”

“Damn it, there’s no end to these monsters! It’s nothing like the waves from the first act!”

As the fifth act of the tutorial began, the fortresses in the fifth area echoed with battle cries and screams.

The players who had occupied the fortresses, as well as the monsters who had originally held them, were desperately trying to fend off the newly appearing monsters.

Among them, one place seemed to be having a particularly hard time. It was the ill-fated fortress that Se-un had looted first, the ‘Towering Watchtower.’

“We’re out of arrows!”

“Wait! They’ll be replenished soon anyway!”

“There’s no time to wait! They’re breaking down the fortress walls right now!”

“Damn it…….”

The leader of the clan that had taken over the Towering Watchtower bit his lip tightly.

‘I thought it was a good fortress…….’

The two abilities of the Towering Watchtower:

Arrow Supply, which automatically replenishes arrows and increases reload speed, and High Watchtower, which increases the attack range of bows.

Although it was a C-grade fortress, its abilities seemed quite useful since most of the clan members were archers.

Moreover, the fortress’s capture difficulty was low, making it easy to conquer.

Frankly, it felt significantly easier than the third act.

But what was this? As soon as they occupied the fortress, they had to face a bewildering reality.

‘What, why is the warehouse completely empty?’

‘Is it always like this……?’

‘Why isn’t the lord giving us any items?’

All they obtained after occupying the fortress were the items the soldiers were wearing: so-called ‘junk items’ and a moderate amount of contribution points.

They were completely unprepared to face this many monsters.

Because of this, they wondered if the monsters might be weaker than they thought, but that was also a miscalculation.

So many monsters swarmed in that they quickly clung to the fortress walls, rendering the fortress’s ‘increased attack range’ ability useless.

Thump, Kuwoong!

“Damn it, the walls!”

As its name suggested, the fortress walls weren’t very strong.

After a giant turtle-like monster collided with it a few times, the fortress walls shook precariously, as if they would collapse at any moment.

‘Is this the end…….’

Even the arrows had run out.

Until the arrows were automatically replenished, there was nothing the archers could do.

Just as they gave up attacking and released their bowstrings, an anomaly occurred on the battlefield.

Kwaang!!

“E, explosion?”

A dark reddish explosion erupted from the outskirts of the battlefield.

The power seemed quite strong, as a single explosion claimed the lives of a dozen monsters.

This wasn’t the end of the anomalies.

Pajijik!

Dark purple lightning zigzagged through the monsters, electrocuting countless of them.

Kugugugu!

The earth cracked and swallowed monsters, then protruding rocks pierced their bodies.

It was truly a natural disaster.

The anomalies continued to repeat, and the once-confident monsters began to retreat in fear.

Only then could the leader identify the source of the anomalies.

“Just who is that……?”

A man wearing red armor and a gray cloak.

Even using the Towering Watchtower’s detection capabilities and the archers’ unique excellent eyesight, no one else could be seen.

In the end, this meant that this man alone had created this natural disaster.

“Unbelievable…….”

“Leader, the arrows have been replenished!”

“G, good! Everyone, aim! Support that man!”

“Shouldn’t we defend the fortress walls first?”

“Look at his direction! I don’t know why, but that man is breaking through the monsters and moving this way! So, supporting that man and getting him to arrive here is the priority!”

“Understood!”

“Fire!”

Piyuwoong-

Hope, which they hadn’t felt until now, flickered within the players of the Towering Watchtower.

However, they were unaware that this man was the culprit who had raided their warehouse.

* * *

Hwareuk!

Pajijik!

Kureureureung!!

Magic flowed continuously from Se-un’s hands.

As he dodged the attacks of numerous monsters, he focused on his Nichugong [a technique to gather internal energy], causing his internal energy to decrease rapidly.

In the first place, no matter how strong a single player was, it was nearly impossible to face this massive army alone. Unlike the constantly surging enemies, humans had a limit to their stamina.

Furthermore, the consumption rate of mana and internal energy required to use magic and martial arts was so enormous that it defied all common sense.

Yet, Se-un didn’t tire.

Rather, as the battle prolonged, his legs became faster, and his magic became stronger.

The reason he could do so? It was thanks to the authority of Beelzebub, the Demon God of Gluttony.

-The entire ‘Battlefield at Cliffside’ has been designated with the authority of Gluttony.

-The Fangs of Gluttony are descending upon the monsters!

Kwadeuk!

Sharp fangs revealed their greedy appearance in the spot where Se-un had passed.

They ravenously devoured the corpses of the monsters Se-un had slaughtered, and his stats were being absorbed at a rapid pace.

-‘Sea Lizardman’ has been devoured.

-Absorbing nutrients increases Agility by 2 and Wisdom by 1.

-‘Green Naga’ has been devoured.

-Absorbing nutrients increases Health by 1 and Wisdom by 2.

…

-Internal energy and mana are being continuously absorbed.

The internal energy and mana absorbed from a single monster were extremely insignificant, scattering without even being absorbed, but when absorbing so many monsters at once, things changed.

Why, didn’t they say that many specks of dust make a mountain?

Weak mana gathered and gathered, filling Se-un’s dantian [energy center] and circles [magic circuits].

Thanks to this, Se-un could use magic and martial arts tirelessly, as if drawing energy from an inexhaustible spring.

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is delighted to finally break his fast and devours the food without rest.

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ says he doesn’t even have time to chew and begins to gulp down the food with his mouth wide open.

However, the explosive increase in stats was only at the beginning. As the same monsters repeated, the rate of stat increase noticeably decreased.

Even so, there was nothing to lose. Se-un’s third circle was already nearly half full.

The internal energy in his dantian was also growing rapidly to a noticeable extent.

As his mana became more abundant, the range of attacks Se-un could choose also greatly increased.

“Rain Shower.”

Shwaaaaaa-

Raindrops gently spread around Se-un.

“Kieek!”

“Kuuuuuu-”

Thanks to this, the monsters around Se-un regained their strength.

In the first place, they were aquatic monsters, and their combat power had plummeted from the moment they came ashore.

Their skin was already painfully dry and cracked, and now he was showering them with rain?

The monsters sneered at Se-un and raised their claws.

-The Treasure Warehouse of Greed has been opened.

[ Lightning Wave ]

– An attack magic of the Ziggurat [ancient Mesopotamian temple tower], creating a wave of lightning over a wide area. It is possible to attack a wide area around the caster.

Pajijijijik!

A wave of lightning spread out from Se-un.

As an area-of-effect skill, it was originally a weak magic that could only paralyze even aquatic monsters who were weak to electricity.

“Kieeeeeek!”

“Keuooooook!”

Chiiiik-

The current monsters were soaked in water by Se-un’s magic.

Thanks to this, they suffered a powerful shock, as if struck by lightning in the water.

The attack, which should have ended with mere paralysis or stiffness, was leading them to their deaths.

The monsters, who had been briefly happy to welcome the water, were now ending their lives with this moment as their last.

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ praises your cooking, saying that the variety of dishes makes it impossible to get tired of them.

“But why aren’t my stats increasing if you can’t get tired of it?”

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ ignores your words.

“Then, I guess I don’t have to give you anything you’re tired of, right?”

-The constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ asserts that if you do that, he’ll get tired of other foods even faster, so you absolutely can’t do that!

“Yes, yes.”

Thanks to the players of the Watchtower desperately shooting arrows, he was able to break through the path smoothly.

As he broke through the monsters, he was able to reach the fortress gate of the Towering Watchtower.

“Thank you!”

“We were able to defend the fortress thanks to you!”

“If you tell us your name, we’ll be sure to repay you after the tutorial ends!”

The players on the fortress walls called out to Se-un.

However, he couldn’t tell them his name. There was nothing to gain from mentioning his name, and more than anything, it was Se-un who had raided the fortress’s warehouse, making the defense battle difficult.

‘……Since it’s partly my fault, I should move around the fortresses I raided.’

Anyway, until the final boss monster of the fifth act appeared, his goal was to roam the field alone and accumulate contribution points.

Perhaps the boss monster would appear by the time he had visited all five fortresses.

‘That’s when the real thing starts.’

After accumulating contribution points, then defeating the second target, the boss monster.

Next.

‘Leviathan…….’

He would have to consider his third goal.
