Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 641

Koo-oong.

The Basilisk collapsed.

Its entire body was riddled with various weapons, and it was leaking bodily fluids that had thickened to a honey-like consistency, dried like honey.

“So this disgusting creature is the culprit!”

Thump, thump!

Kashalakaas, who belatedly joined the battle, kicked the Basilisk’s corpse, venting her anger.

It seemed she was expressing her apology for joining late in her own way.

Regardless, Se-un followed the Journey’s Compass and investigated the area beneath the Basilisk.

Kashalakaas seemed to think the Basilisk was the main culprit, but Se-un’s thoughts differed.

‘That thing is not the root cause, but the one most affected.’

[ Hwagaeng Emperor’s Spear, Hwacheomchang ]

Se-un invoked the Authority of Greed and grasped the spear. Then, he thrust it down towards the ground.

Since it was a swampy area where feet sank easily, the spear was buried so deep that the handle was no longer visible.

– ‘Hwacheomchang’ recreates the Great Emperor’s flames.

Flames began to spew from the tip of the spear.

“What are you doing?”

Kashalakaas voiced her curiosity.

Se-un pushed the spear even deeper instead of answering.

Before long, the swamp beneath Se-un’s feet began to turn red and swell.

“Wait a minute! What are you doing!”

Puh-uh-uhng!!

Eventually, the swamp could not contain the flames and burst.

The swamp exploded in all directions, revealing the poison that had been accumulating within.

He was almost covered in poison, but Se-un had prepared in advance and immediately deployed a shield, proving that she was also a dragon.

“Are you crazy! We caught the snake, so why are you suddenly blowing up the swamp…”

“As expected.”

Se-un interrupted her and looked down.

Beneath the swamp, there was a fairly large sphere.

A sphere that looked as if it were made of tens of thousands of intertwined snakes, a sphere where the entire surface was writhing as if it were made of blood vessels.

It was constantly sucking in and spitting out the swamp’s poison through the holes on its surface.

“Ahem, is that the source you were talking about? You should have told me in advance.”

“I keep saying, it wasn’t certain.”

“But haven’t all your actions been correct so far?”

Se-un had only guessed through the Journey’s Compass that there might be a source beneath the swamp; he never imagined something like that would be there.

Even seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn’t even guess what it was.

The important thing was that it had to be destroyed.

[ Blood-Starved Demonic Spear, Ruin ]

Thwack.

He plunged the spear deep into the sphere.

The sphere let out a bizarre sound, like a scream.

The sphere spewed out a highly concentrated poison, far more potent than anything he had seen so far, as if trying to push Se-un away, but Se-un instead pushed the spear in even harder and deeper.

Woo-oong-

“Ahem, a disease that even infects magic. How terrible.”

Perhaps wanting to be of some help, Kashalakaas cast a high-level defensive spell around Se-un.

In response, Se-un unleashed flames through Ruin.

Kwaaaang!!

– You have successfully completed the 93rd floor trial, ‘Conflict.’

– Calculating contribution points…

As expected, he was able to complete the 93rd floor trial.

* * *

Around the time Se-un was clearing the trial.

At the tenth resting place, Shineyl, people were also moving busily.

“Guild Vice-Captain, I’m ready.”

“Didn’t you finish too quickly? Se-un also said not to reduce your work to the point of overdoing it…”

“No, I’m really done. I’ve obtained everything I can from Shineyl. I just hurried a bit.”

“Thank you.”

“No need to thank us. We need to catch up quickly too.”

The Diablo Guild, the Qinghai Guild, and even the Valhalla Guild were all moving around Shineyl as if their feet were on fire [acting with great urgency].

They bought necessary items from the auction house and acquired new equipment.

“Preparation complete.”

“Us too!”

“I’m ready too. I have all the materials, so I can manufacture items in the trial.”

Everyone was of one mind.

They had only been in Shineyl for a short time, so they might have wanted to rest, and they might have wanted to be rewarded for their hard work in this beautiful city.

Everyone was busy preparing for the next trial.

“Following carelessly will only be a nuisance.”

“I know, Vice Guild Master.”

“This journey may be the last. As Se-un said, this time will be really dangerous.”

Se-un had strongly developed the Diablo Guild.

However, this time was truly different.

Although they acted separately, Se-un was always around the Diablo Guild.

He appeared like a hero in dangerous moments to help, and Se-un’s process of clearing trials itself was helpful to the Diablo Guild.

That reliable presence no longer existed.

From now on, they had to climb the trials purely with their own strength, without Se-un’s help.

Towards the summit of the tower that no one had ever reached.

“If you’re still hesitating, you can stay here. It’s absolutely not forced. You deserve it. We’ve all worked hard, haven’t we?”

Based on their experience so far, Shineyl seemed to be a resting place where settlement was possible, unlike the resting places they had passed through.

They didn’t need contribution points to buy food, and the residents were cooperative with the players.

In this place, they felt they could live out their lives happily and safely.

Everyone in the Diablo Guild felt it.

However, despite her words, no one raised their hand.

“It’s really okay. If you feel burdened, you can tell me separately…”

“Seo-ah.”

Lee Ha-neul stepped forward and smiled brightly.

“We all feel the same way as Seo-ah.”

Everyone in the Diablo Guild nodded.

They had already discussed this matter.

Shineyl was definitely a good place, but none of them intended to stay here.

“We all want to follow the Guild Leader.”

In the first place, they wouldn’t have been able to climb here without Se-un. They might not even be alive if it weren’t for Se-un.

It wasn’t about repaying a debt.

It was just that, as a result of acting together so far… they simply wanted to walk forward with Se-un.

“Really… are you all okay with it?”

Yu Seo-ah asked cautiously.

Worried that her own greed might drive others to their deaths.

However, unlike her worries, no one in the Diablo Guild was concerned about that.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Yu Seo-ah nodded.

“Thank you. Everyone.”

People shook their heads.

It wasn’t something she should be thanked for, as it was something everyone wanted to do.

Yu Seo-ah took a moment to catch her breath, hardened her expression, and decided on the future direction.

“Tomorrow, we will all follow Se-un’s path.”

The moment the Diablo Guild’s climbing schedule was set.

* * *

Se-un and Kashalakaas, who had quickly cleared the 93rd floor trial.

They were continuing to clear the next trials without stopping.

– Welcome to the 94th floor trial.

– Theme: Poverty

The 94th floor trial, fitting the theme of poverty, forced them to clear the trial with their bare bodies, unable to use any equipment or items.

– Welcome to the 95th floor trial.

– Theme: Discrimination

The 95th floor trial constantly forced players into unfair situations, such as being forced to fight underwater with aquatic monsters or on cliffs with flying monsters.

Se-un, who had already figured out the pattern of the trials, quickly cleared them.

Even so, the trial fields were so vast that it sometimes took several days to clear a single trial.

“Kuaaa! It’s almost here! Soon, this body will ascend to the position of Dragon God!”

“It’s only halfway there.”

“You’re too negative! You should express it as already being halfway there!”

At first, they acted separately, but now Kashalakaas and Se-un were acting together.

Her strength was more helpful in clearing the trials than he had expected.

Her lack of thought was a disadvantage, but now it had become an advantage, as she faithfully carried out Se-un’s instructions without any unnecessary thoughts.

With the addition of the dragon’s unique power, the speed of clearing the trials became much faster thanks to her.

Of course, he also wondered if receiving Se-un’s help in this way would later act as a poison for her [be detrimental in the long run].

‘Now is not the time to be picky.’

With the Outer Gods starting to attack even the trials, he had to increase his speed even a little bit.

Moreover, her strength was needed to conserve power in preparation for the Outer Gods, who could attack at any time.

Telling her the methods of clearing the trials and accompanying her could be said to be compensation for that.

“This place is more difficult than I thought.”

“It defies common sense. The trials so far were within the realm of common sense, even if they were about destruction, but this place is completely beyond reason, isn’t it?”

The trial of discrimination.

The closer they got to the end of the trial, the more severe the discrimination became.

For example, they had to fight golems that looked as hard as iron, but the surrounding mana was disrupted, making it impossible to use magic.

Conversely, they had to fight monsters immune to magic, but the terrain made it difficult to approach, forcing them to use magic or ranged attacks.

Towards the end, such discrimination increased even further.

It was truly the epitome of absurdity.

“Kuaaaaa!”

He had a hard time stopping Kashalakaas, who was about to explode in anger because she couldn’t bear the discrimination.

Fortunately.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

The Authority of Greed was a very good ability to counter discrimination.

If they couldn’t use magic, he would take out a treasure with physical abilities, and if physical attacks were impossible, he would take out a treasure related to magic.

No matter what situation they faced, he could simply take out a treasure that suited it.

[ God’s Blade, Shopd Vedi ]

[ The One Who Pounds, Galia ]

[ Spear of Radiance, Bryunak ]

Kwagwagwang!!

Kashalakaas was amazed at how calmly he overcame the numerous discriminations.

And then, finally.

– You have successfully completed the 95th floor trial, ‘Discrimination.’

– Calculating contribution points…

He had perfectly conquered even the 95th floor trial.

“Kuaaa! Finally!”

“It’s exactly halfway there now.”

“Yes, we’ve come halfway!”

There were five floors left.

It felt like the destination was really in sight.

After a short break, the two immediately moved towards the next floor.

– Welcome to the 96th floor trial.

– Theme: Oppression

Squeeze-

“Kureung, what is it? My shoulders are heavy.”

“It seems like… gravity.”

As soon as they reached the 96th floor, their shoulders became heavy.

It wasn’t the heaviness felt due to fatigue.

There wasn’t anything particularly special, but it felt as heavy as if they were carrying a load on their shoulders.

It was difficult to even hold a weapon, and moving their feet was several times harder.

In this situation, flying was completely impossible.

Kashalakaas flew up as usual, but couldn’t last even ten minutes before coming down.

Kureureung-

In that situation, rain poured down from the sky.

Se-un, looking at the dark clouds that didn’t let in any sunlight, felt uneasy for no reason.

Woo-oong-

As if representing his feelings, even the stigmata trembled finely.

Generally, Se-un’s ominous premonitions tended to come true.
