I Robbed the Demon’s Warehouse

60. Episode 60

As soon as he heard Yoo Seo-ah’s report, Sewoon moved toward the gate.

The others, as if they had heard the news, stopped working for a while and gathered around the gate.

As they approached a little closer, they saw a group of people outside the half-destroyed gate.

The number was approximately 60. No, it seemed to be more than that if the people who were hidden behind the walls were combined.

“What about the request?”

“I haven’t said anything else yet. He had no intention of fighting, he just said he wanted to talk to the clan leader.”

“Then why did you call me?”

“Until now, the direction of the clan has all been decided by Seun-eun. I respect that too. It is the same now.”

“Thank you for thinking so.”

If a player visits a fortress that already has an owner, it is one of two.

First, it is difficult to occupy the castle with their own power, or they are requesting annexation because they have no intention of fighting.

Second, take the castle day by day against a clan tired of siege warfare.

Usually, both of these cases are done when there is little time left in the tutorial.

‘It’s too early now.’

That said, that clan never intended to wage a classic siege from the start.

is it the former? Or is it the latter?

In fact, I didn’t like either of them very much.

Even if they reach out and ask for annexation, it will only create an unstable variable rather than the benefit of increasing the number of troops.

With that thought in mind, Sewoon crossed the broken gate.

Then an impressive looking man came forward representing the clan.

“oh! It looks like you’re the clan leader! You have a tall face, you are very cool! hahahaha!”

“… … .”

At the appearance of the representative, Sewoon’s expression hardened even more coldly.

The man didn’t do anything wrong. However, it was because Sewoon knew the man’s identity.

‘Charles.’

before regression. By the time you get to the fourth chapter of the tutorial, Seun’s clan is already close to annihilation.

More than half of the players were dead, and the rest were also not in normal condition.

In that situation, wage a siege and take the castle? It was an impossible goal.

Because of this, Seun’s party chose to join another clan.

At that time, the chosen clan was ruled by that man, a guy called Charles.

To describe Charles in one word… … .

‘dissembler.’

Yes, he was a hypocrite.

Even at first, they felt sorry for Seun’s group and accepted them warmly, but after that, it was hell.

Seun’s party was treated like slaves and had to take care of all the dirty work of the clan.

Even when the siege was in progress, he had to stand at the forefront and become an arrow receiver.

The other clan members were also under the influence of Charles and ran over Seun’s party.

Because of that, as soon as the tutorial was over, Seun had to escape and hide for a while.

It’s the same now.

Charles extended his hand to Sewoon with a friendly smile.

“My name is Charles McGregor. The tutorial just started, and you’ve already captured the castle. You are amazing!”

“… … .”

The guy didn’t stop talking, but Sewoon didn’t say a word back.

Same goes for handshakes.

When Sewoon did not hold hands, his expression instantly stiffened.

It was a very fleeting moment, but Sewoon did not miss it.

“hahahaha, I understand! It’s hard to trust this guy’s tutorials, monsters, and even people. In particular, wasn’t the third tutorial really too much?”

“What is your business?”

“… … hahahaha. I’ve been talking a little too long. I really like you, and I want to be friends with you, so please understand.”

Seun’s cold reaction made Yoo Seo-ah, who was next to him, uneasy.

Even so, Sewoon’s attitude did not change.

Charles.

Even if I ruled out any ill feelings, I needed to be careful enough because I knew the identity of the knife he was hiding behind the mask.

“We were all fed up with the player-to-player battles in the previous area. I don’t want to fight such meaningless battles any more.”

“It’s a meaningless battle… … .”

“Don’t you think so? It’s hard to deal with monsters, but fighting with the same people! How cruel is this?”

As Charles continued to speak, Sewoon naturally recalled memories from before returning.

The attitude the guys had towards ‘slaves’. Hitting them just because they were bored was basic, and they even fed them raw monster meat, saying that they were checking to see if it was edible.

If the players they encountered did not come under them, they immediately took out their weapons.

Guys like that, saying things like that.

I can’t even laugh because I’m dumbfounded.

“So, I would like to merge with your clan, if you will. Aren’t you tired of occupying the castle too? We’ll take care of the dirty work.”

“For now, let’s discuss it among ourselves.”

“Oh, good! By all means, I look forward to a positive reply.”

When Sewoon did not respond, Yoo Seo-ah, who was listening to him, answered and pulled Sewoon by the arm instead.

I understand her feelings.

Now she’s used to the tutorials, but originally she was overly kind, so she must have agreed to Charles’ words about wishing for peace.

“Sewoon, what do you think?”

“Of course, it’s a refusal.”

“Hmm, Sewoon-san must have an idea, but still… … .”

“Check the public value ranking.”

“A public value ranking?”

Yoo Seo-ah was puzzled for a moment, then immediately checked the rankings.

Since we’ve been doing it so far, I wasn’t too surprised when Sewoon’s name was written proudly in first place.

Well, it only changed from the ranking within the clan to the overall ranking of the tutorial, but it was an unchanging fact that Sewoon was always number one for her.

As she was reading through the rankings, she soon understood why Seun had asked her to check the rankings.

[ 10th place : Charles McGregor 365,120 points ]

“Top 10… … ?”

“okay. How do you think there is a way to raise points like that?”

“If you’re looking for something special like Se-woon, or… … . Ah, the third chapter of the tutorial.”

“that’s right. It’s player hunting.”

Charles.

He had been at the forefront of hunting for players in the third area. It was said that he thoroughly aimed only at players weaker than himself.

“Ha, but like Sewoon… … .”

“Me and Kang Kang-cheol defeated almost all the hungry ogres. Or, did the bastard called pacifism go around looking for hidden peace like me?”

“… … .”

Sewoon’s guess might be wrong. Like Park Jung-pil, something may have changed with Seun’s return.

perhaps. Maybe, that guy named Charles changed his mind and luckily found the hidden piece and got a high public value.

However, I had no intention of taking a variable with such a ‘just in case’ feeling.

After thinking about it, Yoo Seo-ah nodded and agreed with Sewoon’s idea.

“all right. As Sewoon said, there is no need to go with unnecessary worries.”

After the conversation, I stepped in front of Charles again.

The guy was waiting for us with a smile as if he thought we would accept their offer.

“Have you decided? Certainly, you won’t regret it! After all, isn’t the more people the better?”

“I refuse.”

“… … yes?”

Sewoon could see it. At Yoo Seo-ah’s refusal, Charles’ smile was subtly broken.

I couldn’t see it because it was covered by my bangs, but my face was so red that it seemed like there were blood vessels protruding from it.

“I can’t trust you. We can’t endanger our people with needless anxiety.”

“… … hahahaha. this is true This is not the answer I was expecting. Regret, won’t you?”

“Yes, there is still a lot of time before the tutorial is over, so you should find another way.”

“Unfortunately, we have no intention of finding another way.”

“yes?”

Seun took a step forward and blocked Yoo Seo-ah.

Charles, on the other hand, took a step back, then took a step forward with the people waiting behind him surrounding him.

“Because it’s much easier to attack players who are already tired of fighting than to wage a classic siege.”

“Did you really mean that from the beginning?”

“Sure! Originally, I had planned to enter the castle and kill him at once. Well, it doesn’t matter.”

seureung-

Charles’s men each drew their weapons.

The weapon was stained with blood as if it hadn’t been properly maintained, but it wasn’t the green blood typical of monsters.

red blood. The blood on the player was evident.

“The gate is broken anyway, and everyone seems to be busy repairing it. We will take it well.”

“… … As expected, Sewoon-san was right.”

“It’s Sewoon. Are you talking about that guy over there? But somehow the name sounds familiar… … . Hmmm, probably not.”

After a moment’s thought, Charles pointed his hand at Sewoon.

“Let’s hit it.”

“let’s go!”

“I thought I was going to die from itching!”

“Let’s all eat well today!”

Charles’ men began to move. The gates had collapsed, so there seemed to be no blockages to them.

At that moment, Sewoon shouted someone’s name.

“Kang Han-cheol!”

fault!

Someone jumped from the top of the castle wall.

Thanks to its gigantic size, a wide shadow was cast underneath and the heads of Charles and his men naturally lifted up.

By the time they sensed the danger.

-Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Open Battle’.

Kwaaang-!!!

Kang Kang-cheol’s fist was already hitting the floor.

“Cheak!”

“U-what is that!”

“What kind of skill is it that makes it so strong!”

Kang Kang-cheol’s ability, ‘opening’, determines its power and range depending on the caster’s muscular strength.

Kang Kang-cheol’s strength was strong enough to be compared to that of an ogre, but as he jumped down from the top of the castle wall and received the force of gravity and acceleration, the floor swayed as if an earthquake had occurred.

The floor cracked, and sharp stones protruded.

Of course, the opponent is not a monster, but a player.

Although not many people were harmed through quick response, this alone was enough to hinder the opponent’s movement.

“At first glance, this is a one-time attack! No follow up attack! Everyone move!”

“It’s a bit annoying, but no problem!”

While shouting, Charles’ men moved across the cracked and protruding land.

1 m, 2 m, 3 m.

Having grown up dealing with countless monsters and players, they were able to cross the shattered land soon after, and by the time they reached the end.

Ssik-

I was able to face Sewoon smiling with both hands on the floor.

– Opened the treasure house of greed.

[ Lava ]

– As one of the fire tower’s arcane magics, it creates boiling lava. However, it simply creates lava, and has no physical power, so its practicality is very low.

bugle-

In Seun’s hand, thick lava swayed and seeped into the cracks in the earth created by strong iron.

chain attack.

Seun used to come up with various attack methods that he could link with the clan members as their power grew stronger.

If you can launch a proper combo attack, you will be able to exert much more power than Sewoon can use right now.

And the attack I’m showing off now was one of them.

After pouring lava into the gap in the broken earth created by strong iron.

– The power of ‘Breeze’ is enhanced according to the tricks of the Black Tower.

Whoa!!

If you blow wind through them.

– Linkage with player Kang Kang Cheol. ‘The Boiling Battlefield’ is cast!

aaah!

It was possible to recreate a disaster in the volcanic area called a fissure eruption.
