Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 65

The Demon God’s Vault Heist – Episode 65

-You have devoured a ‘Sea Lizard Man.’

-You can no longer absorb nutrients from the same entity.

-You have devoured a ‘Needle Turtle.’

-Absorbing nutrients increases your stamina by 0.2.

…

Se-un’s hunt continued.

The problem was that even if he killed ordinary monsters, he could no longer absorb nutrients with the Authority of Gluttony.

So, naturally, as the battle dragged on, his stamina gradually decreased, and even the seemingly perpetual motion of his combat began to slow down.

-The power of ‘Dark Flare’ is enhanced according to the mysteries of the Black Tower.

Whoosh!

Realizing his limits, Se-un squeezed out all his remaining mana and unleashed a black flame.

The monsters, already hesitant to approach Se-un due to the fear effect, began to crumble under the flames.

Taking advantage of the gap, Se-un climbed to the highest point of the nearest castle.

Fortunately, the castle walls had holes, making it easy to climb.

[ Perforated Thorn Castle ]

Category: Castle

Grade: C

Description: A fortress with small holes in the walls, allowing spear attacks against enemies clinging to the walls. However, it has the disadvantage of lacking defense.

Abilities: 1. Projecting Thorns – Increases attack power and penetration by 20% when using the walls for spear attacks.

2. Thorn-Embedded Walls – Returns 20% of the damage to enemies striking the walls and gates.

Perforated Thorn Castle.

It was the last castle Se-un raided.

He barely managed to defend all five fortresses.

Fortunately, the players who had been watching Se-un’s performance welcomed him with open arms.

“Thank you! You saved us!”

“You’ve really worked hard! Ah, would you like some water? Hey, quickly bring a canteen!”

“No, I’m fine with water.”

“How can we repay this kindness! If it weren’t for you, the walls would have collapsed!”

“This castle… I don’t know what happened, but it tells us to attack with spears, but there wasn’t a single spear in the armory…”

Se-un, taken aback by the excessive welcome, felt a pang of conscience. After all, he was the one who had raided this castle’s armory.

‘Still, well, the result was good, so it’s okay.’

Even though he raided the armory, it wasn’t a bad situation for them either.

First, they would have easily captured the castle due to the reduced difficulty thanks to Se-un.

Second, Se-un personally stepped in to defend the problematic fifth fortress.

-You have opened the Vault of Greed(眞) [True/Genuine].

[ Spring Water of Saengnok Forest ]

– Spring water from the Saengnok Forest, known to be inhabited by mythical creatures. It contains an astonishing amount of vitality and natural energy.

This was why Se-un refused the canteen.

It was better to use Mammon’s treasure, which had better effects than most potions, than to drink ordinary water.

Gulp, gulp.

As he drank the spring water, a cool, refreshing sensation went down his throat.

It didn’t just stay in his stomach; as soon as it passed his throat, it spread throughout his body, providing a full surge of energy.

Power filled his aching muscles, which had been depleted of energy, and clean energy filled his empty mana circuits and dantian [energy center in the body, according to traditional Chinese medicine].

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is greedy, wanting to try it himself.

-The Constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ ignores it.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ pesters the Crow, saying there seems to be a lot of food in the vault and asking to take a look.

-The Constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ firmly refuses, saying that all edible treasures in the vault will disappear if he does.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ grabs the Crow’s feathers and whines, saying that edible things are meant to be eaten.

‘More than that, I wonder if the others are defending well.’

Even though it looks like monsters are recklessly climbing up the cliffs, the monster attacks on the fifth fortress were not random.

Depending on the level of the castle, appropriate monsters attack.

This place was a C-grade castle, so Se-un alone could be quite active, but if it were the monsters of the Golden Castle, even Se-un wouldn’t be able to run wild without Mammon’s treasures.

‘If necessary, there’s also Golden Light, so it should be fine.’

Golden Light.

One of the unique abilities of the Golden Castle, it is the power to stop the movements of enemies all at once, once a day.

He had told Yoo Seo-ah in advance, so if they used that, they could somehow deal with even strong enemies.

Just as he finished resting and was about to get up.

-The number of monsters has decreased to 3/4 or less. Enraged by this, the tyrant of the sea, ‘Darakhan,’ appears.

The system warned of the appearance of a monster.

Sea Drake, Darakhan.

The final objective of the fifth fortress and the tyrant who rules the thousands of monsters now in front of him.

‘Shall we go?’

And it was Se-un’s target.

* * *

At that moment, an even fiercer battle was taking place in the Golden Castle than in other castles.

-Player Lee Ha-neul uses ‘Poison-Soaked Ward.’

Poof!

In the very center of the monsters, a purplish liquid rippled and burst like a water balloon.

The monsters frowned at the sticky feeling. But since nothing happened, the monsters continued their attack without paying attention.

However.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

As time passed, the condition of the monsters that touched the liquid began to change.
Pus rose from their skin, or their skin swelled up. Along with various external changes, they even developed fevers or coughs.

It wasn’t a serious condition right away, but in a battlefield where spears and swords were rampant, a decline in condition was enough to take a life.

Thud-

“Ha-neul, thank you!”

Yoo Seo-ah’s sword was stuck between the gills of a fish that was off guard, scratching its reddened neck.

In addition, various aquatic weapon attacks and poison-tipped arrows flew from the Golden Castle, tormenting the monsters.

Then.

“Kuaaaaa-!!”

A monster of a different dimension appeared, with a size that was different from the small monsters that were simply fighting with numbers.

The problem was that there was more than one.

“Gurgle, gurgle.”

“Shhhh-”

A toad with bumpy skin as if it had rivets embedded in its back, and a giant snake whose raised neck and head alone would be 2m tall.

And even a monster in the shape of an octopus wriggling with hundreds of suckers exposed.

As if they were commanders, the other monsters willingly cleared the way for their appearance.

“…Han-cheol, are you okay?”

“Even if I’m not okay, I have to do it.”

“I guess so.”

They say you don’t know your clothes are getting wet in a drizzle [idiom meaning a gradual, unnoticed effect]? The two of them were running wild at first, but as time passed, they couldn’t help but lose stamina.

Kang Han-cheol blocked the damage with the armor he received from Se-un, and Yoo Seo-ah avoided the attacks with the footwork she learned from Se-un.

However, as the battle had been going on for quite some time, the two were barely suppressing their rising breaths.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

Clang!!

The three sub-boss monsters began to attack in earnest.

As expected of their huge size, the walls, which had been like iron walls, echoed as they bumped into them.

However, Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah were having trouble marking all three monsters with just the two of them.

“Jeong-pil!”

“Yes, yes, I’m going!”

-Player Park Jeong-pil uses ‘Dragon, Dragon, You’re Dead’ [a children’s rhyme].

Park Jeong-pil, who jumped off the wall, solved this problem.

The snake, which was swinging its tail towards the wall, turned its eyes to Park Jeong-pil.

“Ugh, why is this guy so big?”

In the meantime, Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah continued their attack.

Since they had slaughtered so many monsters so far, the people of the Golden Castle did not worry and checked other monsters.

But.

Squish!

Thwing!

Kang Han-cheol’s fist was sucked into the soft flesh of the octopus.

Yoo Seo-ah’s sword bounced off the toad’s hard, protruding skin.

The two, who met an opponent whose attack did not work for the first time, were embarrassed, but quickly exchanged glances and changed opponents.

But the result was the same.

Yoo Seo-ah’s sword could not penetrate the octopus’s tough membrane, and the toad absorbed Kang Han-cheol’s attack by bouncing its body appropriately.

“Ugh! I’m dying, I’m dying!”

Park Jeong-pil, who jumped down confidently, was already being caught up by the snake’s fast speed.

He didn’t think he would lose, but it didn’t seem like he could finish it quickly.

As time dragged on without even dealing proper damage, the battle became increasingly unfavorable.

“I came down believing in you guys, but what is this!”

“Shut up.”

“What? How dare you tell me, the right-hand man of the Hyung-nim [older brother/respected leader], to shut up…”

“It’s noisy.”

“…Yes.”

In the end, the three were surrounded by three sub-boss monsters.

“Let’s evacuate into the castle for now.”

“I can’t draw attention anymore! If you open the door now, they’ll all come in, right?”

“You can use the castle’s unique ability. You’ll be able to buy time to enter the castle.”

“That’s right! Then hurry!”

“Wait.”

Just as Yoo Seo-ah was about to activate ‘Golden Light’ as the temporary lord, Kang Han-cheol raised his hand to stop her.

Wondering why, she turned her head and discovered something rising from below the three monsters.

“Gueooo-”

“Gueeeee-”

“What is that…”

“Eek, it’s a zombie!”

Its identity was, in fact, a zombie.

The monsters they had just defeated twisted their joints strangely and stood up, grabbing the three monsters.

A scene reminiscent of a horror movie.

The three monsters screamed and tried to tear off the zombies, and something fell from the wall.

No, it flew.

“What’s that?”

A monster with the head of a maned tiger, a Manticore.
The severed octopus legs were wriggling on its tusks, which protruded like a boar.

Thwack!

When the Manticore’s claws were swung, the toad’s scales, which had absorbed Kang Han-cheol’s attack, fell off in clumps.

Poobubuk!

As the Manticore turned its body, a tail reminiscent of a flail with numerous thorns pierced into the snake’s body.

It wasn’t just a simple thorn, but a thorn containing the Manticore’s deadly poison, so the snake quickly vomited blood and slammed its head into the ground.

-The Constellation, ‘The Horse Trampling on Death,’ is satisfied with the Ghoul’s performance.

“Thank you for holding on! I was a little late because I was fully implementing the poison of the tail!”

“Baek-hyun!”

The owner of the Manticore and the zombies was Baek-hyun.

He had finally solved the ‘quest’ he had obtained by contracting with Gamygin, the Horse Trampling on Death, and receiving the Manticore’s corpse from Se-un.

And as a Ghoul, known as a zombie specializing in poison, not a Skeleton, which is considered the lowest grade.

Thanks to this, the Manticore was able to rise with all its flying abilities, as well as its excellent physical abilities and deadly poison.

“I will assist as much as possible!”

Clang!

As if waiting for those words, Kang Han-cheol struck the head of the scale-stripped toad. Yoo Seo-ah was also tearing apart the legs of the octopus, whose legs had been torn off and the mucus had been removed.

“Kuaaaang!!”

The Manticore let out a deep roar as if it were alive.

At this, the monsters momentarily flinched. They instinctively realized that the opponent was a predator who comfortably surpassed their capabilities.

“What, that’s cooler than my Red Fang?”

The Manticore’s power was strong.

Of course, it was possible because Baek-hyun’s excellent control skills supported it.

As soon as the Manticore joined the battlefield, the three sub-boss monsters were quickly dealt with, and the monsters who lost their commander turned their backs and began to run away.

Only then could the three people under the wall wipe the sweat from their foreheads and catch their breath.

“Baek-hyun, thank you.”

“No. I haven’t been able to help because I’ve been researching the Manticore until now, but I should lend a hand now, even if it’s late. More than that…”

-The number of monsters has decreased to 3/4 or less. Enraged by this, the tyrant of the sea, ‘Darakhan,’ appears.

They also checked the message that appeared in front of them.

Darakhan.

It was clear that it was the boss monster of the fifth fortress that Se-un had mentioned when leaving the castle.

“Should we go help Blood Fang?”

“But, the Golden Castle…”

“You don’t have to worry about the castle!”

“The number of monsters has also decreased a lot! We can block it enough among ourselves!”

When Yoo Seo-ah expressed her concern, the clan members who were supporting them from the wall shouted vigorously.

Everyone had gone through the tutorial and had become stronger than they were at first.

Mentally and physically.

At their energetic shouts, Yoo Seo-ah nodded.
