Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 69

Stole the Demon God’s Vault – Episode 70

-Devoured ‘Tyrant of the Enraged Sea, Dharakhan’.

-Absorbing nutrients increases all stats by 10.

Before jumping off the cliff, Seun didn’t forget to use the Authority of Gluttony on Dharakhan.

From the start, Drake was a dragonkin [a humanoid race with dragon-like features] who couldn’t handle mana, so he couldn’t absorb mana, but he could raise all stats by 10. A total of 40 stats could be raised.

‘No matter how I think about it, it’s a steal.’

Simply in terms of level, it was a stat increase equivalent to leveling up 13 levels at once.

To raise stats like that, it was truly a power worthy of a Demon God.

Moreover, thanks to the Authority of Greed, his combat power also soared, making it easier to catch monsters.

Thanks to the synergy of the two Authorities, Seun was now far stronger than the lower-level residents of the Tower.

Perhaps, even after entering the Tower, he would be able to ascend through the lower levels without any obstacles.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ says the taste is a bit lacking, but the chewy texture is excellent, savoring the meal.

Beelzebub seemed to like the Drake meat as well.

He had been full of complaints recently because he hadn’t used his Authority properly, but he had provided enough food to fill the table through the fifth chapter, so he would be quiet for a while.

Splash!

Whether it was because the cliff was high or because his thoughts were long, the fall felt longer than expected, and the cold waves enveloped him.

The skin that had heated up from fighting Dharakhan cooled down, and a chill ran through his body.

More than that, the problem was breathing.

As he fell from the high cliff, Seun sank deep into the sea, quickly moving away from the surface.

As the water pressure increased, his lungs were compressed, and the air he had stored wanted to escape.

‘I wouldn’t have survived this even with the Compass of Journey.’

Seun, recalling his pre-regression self, smiled briefly and unleashed the Authority of Greed.

-The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[ Mermaid’s Gills ]

– A half-human, half-fish with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish. A monster in the form of a woman, said to have given rise to many legends with its beautiful appearance.

Crack!

Crunch.

A crack occurred around Seun’s neck. Three lines appeared on each side of his neck, and the holes gradually widened.

“Hoo.”

Only after confirming the existence of the gills by feeling his neck did Seun carefully inhale.

Then, seawater was sucked in through the now-widened gills, and a cool sense of satisfaction permeated his chest.

“Hoo…”

Success.

The moment he confirmed that there were gills in Mammon’s Vault, he thought it might be possible.

Indeed, Mammon’s treasure.

To be able to breathe in the sea with a human body.

It was an ability that was by no means inferior to the Authority of Gluttony.

-The Constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ feels displeased comparing his treasure to a pig.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ asks where the pig is, drooling and asking for some to be shared.

-The Constellation, ‘Crow with Lowered Head,’ shakes his head.

-The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ asks if he is trying to eat the delicious pig alone, making an imposing expression and demanding that it be shared immediately.

Seun ignored the conversation between the two Constellations and broadly observed the seabed.

‘I need to decide on a direction first……’

If it were before the regression, he could simply follow the ‘Compass of Journey,’ but unfortunately, Seun did not have such a skill now.

He searched Mammon’s Vault, but there was no convenient treasure to guide him to the Demon God.

Meanwhile.

Swish-

“Gurgle, gurgle.”

“Squeak-”

Hundreds of monsters were passing by the stationary Seun and moving forward.

Originally, most of these monsters would have been defeated before the boss monster fell.

Thanks to Seun coming to the cliff and defeating the boss monster, the number of surviving monsters was higher than expected.

However, they did not attack Seun.

They treated him like air. No, like the sea itself, they were only busy going their own way. It was as if there was an invisible ‘path’ only for Seun.

‘Then, I should follow them.’

Instinctively, he knew that there was something where they were moving.

* * *

“Mr. Shaks. I heard the tutorial just ended.”

“Already? I thought Dharakhan hadn’t been up there for more than a few hours.”

“Some players succeeded in hunting Dharakhan before he arrived at the castle.”

“That’s amazing. Even though he lost his reason because he couldn’t handle the power, he was a guy who inherited the essence of the deep sea.”

The outskirts of the Tower.

The end of the sea created by the collapse of the land where the tutorial was in progress.

In that deep sea, two merfolk were talking.

The one kneeling was covered in hard shells like a crayfish all over his body, and the merfolk called Shaks, who was looking down at him, had glossy shark fins on his back and wrists, and sharp teeth like saw blades were impressive.

“Then, the number of survivors must be quite large.”

“Nearly half of them survived.”

“Half… That’s troublesome.”

“If we leave them alone, the breeding speed will be excessive, so it would be better to clean them up within a few days.”

“I know.”

The shark-like merfolk fell into thought.

Originally, the number of monsters that survived after the tutorial was mostly only a few hundred.

It was that difficult for the players in the tutorial to face the sea monsters.

But, nearly half of the monsters survived?

‘Has there ever been such a thing in the history of the tutorial?’

There have been several times when the tutorial was completed quickly. Among the players, there have been monsters who have been different from others since they came in.

However, it was extremely rare to finish the tutorial this quickly among them.

‘It’s the first time since that woman, right.’

The shark-like merfolk recalled the image of a woman.

She was human, but she wielded the power of a dragon.

It’s been decades since he met her, so she’s probably climbed quite high in the Tower by now.

While he was reminiscing, several sardine-like fish swam quickly from behind and reported something to the armored merfolk.

The armored merfolk’s expression twitched momentarily.

“What’s going on?”

“I heard that a human has mixed in with the monsters.”

“Human? What’s the problem with that? Maybe he fell in with the fleeing fish.”

“I thought so too. But, the human is following the fish.”

“If he’s human, it’s impossible for him to even breathe in the sea, right?”

“According to the report, the human has gills on his neck.”

“Gills? That can’t be.”

Humans are very weak and fragile creatures. Weaker physical abilities than orcs, unable to fly in the sky or breathe underwater.

Even their lifespan is known to be less than 100 years.

But, is that why? They have left behind more achievements than any other race.

Like a match that burns fiercely for a moment and disappears.

As evidence, about half of the Tower’s rankers are known to be human.

“Could it be that he knows who she is?”

“There’s no way. …However, I think we should check it out.”

“That’s right. We need to clean them up anyway, so let’s move right now.”

“Understood.”

At the armored merfolk’s command, those kneeling below quickly prepared for battle.

For safety and for the next tutorial, it is necessary to adjust the number of fish.

The eyes of the merfolk preparing for battle looked more determined than usual.

Even taking the last few decades as an example, it was extremely rare for the number of enemies to be so large.

After arming themselves and forming a formation, the shark-like merfolk stood at the front and raised the two-pronged spear high.

“Advance.”

Charge!

The sea’s forces moved.

Meanwhile.

‘A human. It’s been a while since I’ve faced a terrestrial intelligent being.’

The shark-like merfolk. Shaks recalled Seun and suppressed his uneasy feelings.

* * *

‘Where the hell are they going?’

The tutorial monsters.

I thought they were simply created by the Tower’s administrator, but that didn’t seem to be the case. If that were the case, they would naturally disappear when the tutorial ended.

The place where they are moving is probably……

‘A nest.’

The hometown where they were born and raised.

A nest that can accommodate so many monsters, I was looking forward to how big it would be.

‘Should I check the items?’

Items obtained through the boss monster, Dharakhan.

Most of them were material items, but there was only one. A piece of equipment in the form of an accessory.

Seun took out a necklace of blue gems named ‘Wrath of the Sea’ from his chest.

[ Wrath of the Sea ]

Classification: Necklace

Grade: A

Description: A gem created by absorbing the essence of the deep sea by a lower dragonkin.

Abilities: 1. Blessing of the Deep Sea – All stats increase by 10%.

2. Deep Sea Waves – Water attribute affinity and resistance increase, and restrictions in the water are greatly reduced.

3. Deep Sea Flow – Damage taken from enemies is reduced by 10%.

4. Deep Sea Fear – Resistance to fear is greatly increased, and the efficiency of all abilities utilizing fear is greatly increased.

Indeed, it was an excellent piece of equipment that was rumored even in the Tower.

You might think that the stat increase is not as significant as other items compared to the A-grade rating, but this is only an ‘accessory’.

Unlike equipment with restrictions on wearing, such as basic weapons and armor, it means that additional and duplicate wearing is possible.

Therefore, accessory-type items boast tremendous value even if they only raise one stat by 5%.

It’s unlikely, but for example, just wearing rings with such abilities on all ten fingers would boast tremendous efficiency.

More than that.

‘Fear……’

The equipment made by Go Chang-seok and the Stigmata of Satyrus [a mark or scar associated with a mythological creature]. Even the fear of the deep sea attached to the gem of wrath.

Somehow, I seemed to be gaining a lot of abilities related to fear.

I am currently maximizing my abilities as the subject of fear, but Seun before the regression was the opposite.

The victim of fear.

Seun was the one who had always struggled to overcome fear because he had no special combat abilities.

As much as he had overcome numerous fears, he must have been familiar with dealing with fear in this life.

After finishing the confirmation and equipping ‘Wrath of the Sea’, he looked ahead and saw that the monsters were rapidly descending based on a huge coral reef.

The sea currents felt on the skin were also being sucked downwards as if sucking in the monsters.

Seun carefully stirred his legs and moved forward.

-Discovered the hidden dungeon, ‘Deep Sea Spawning Ground’.

-Achieved an amazing feat.

-Acquired 10,000 points as a reward.

Finally, he was able to find the monsters’ destination.
