I Robbed the Demon’s Warehouse

12. Episode 12

A soldier wearing a gold crown. One of the 72 demon lords who reign right under the seven demons representing the seven deadly sins.

It was Veris, the 28th ranked demon lord.

‘Berrys?’

Sewoon quickly learned about the evil constellation while investigating to find Mamon’s warehouse. So there was no way he didn’t know about Veris.

‘The Duke of Hell who commands 26 legions.’

Of course, it’s not something to compare with the Demon God, but being ranked 28th out of 72 demon lords was a symbol of great status in itself.

Such a constellation began to take an interest in the old man in front of him, ‘Ko Chang-seok’.

‘Well, if it’s Berris, he’ll be interested.’

Many people thought of Veris as a battle maniac because of his appearance as a soldier riding a red horse, but Veris’ real power lies in alchemy.

It is said that he is so good at alchemy that he can turn almost all existing metals into gold. In particular, I heard that his skill with metal is comparable to that of Hephaestus, one of the 12 gods of Olympus.

‘No, it’s more about weapons.’

If Hephaestus cares about the overall balance and beautiful appearance, Veris focuses on ‘destruction’ itself.

I heard that the equipment he created, focusing solely on strength regardless of means and purposes, was coveted even by good gods.

Ko Chang-seok, who was just about to start tanning, tilted his head to see if he had read the message.

“What is this?”

“It is a constellation.”

“A constellation? What is it?”

“It is literally a divine being. They are transcendents who reside at the top of the tower.”

“Why does God care about me? It seems that there is nothing to do. And how do you know that?”

“I am also receiving attention from other Constellations.”

This would have been explained.

Thinking so, Sewoon shook his head.

Although Ko Chang-seok’s skill was excellent, it was not enough to attract the attention of the Constellation with a single whetstone.

However, the fact that Veris appeared.

– Constellation, I want the ‘hungry prince’ to stop touching things he can’t even eat and start looking for new prey.

-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ looks down with indifferent eyes.

-Following the eyes of the two Demon Gods, the 72 Demon Kings begin to show interest in the camp.

‘This is what happened.’

Under the influence of Mamon and Beelzebub, the two demons with Seun, it seemed that other demons were also focusing on this direction.

Well, it deserves it.

Constellations that are naturally drunk enough are not easily interested in anyone.

Since there were not one but two of them looking at Sewoon, the Demon Kings must have been curious.

“So what, what should I do? Should I drop a joke?”

“Just do what you normally do. Because it is not a harmful entity. No, on the contrary, it would be a great help if interest grew.”

“A big help?”

“Like I dealt with fire.”

“Ohhh, that’s kind of enticing.”

There was a bad look at evil spirits in the world.

Unlike the good gods, if you make a contract or receive power as an apostle, your soul will be taken away and you will lose your will and purpose?

However, as a result of Sewoon’s diligent investigation of the evil spirits, they were all misunderstandings caused by the devil’s perception.

Even if they are called evil gods, they are no different from good gods. Take an interest in the player, and grant power if you like it.

Of course, the more power you receive, the more restrictions you will have, but that was the case with the good gods as well.

Moreover, as a player, the difference between getting the Constellation’s attention and not getting it is huge.

For Se-Won and Ko Chang-Seok, Verice’s interest in him is not a bad thing at all.

“Then thank you.”

“Don’t worry. I am much more confident this way than swinging a stick at a monster.”

Sewoon lowered his head briefly and left.

To have an expert handle the equipment was something that Se-Woon would welcome.

I’m not sure yet, but if Koh Chang-seok even concludes a contract with Berris.

‘At least I won’t have to worry about the equipment.’

As Goh Chang-seok’s skills increase, he will be able to easily surpass the level of the average blacksmith he meets at the tower.

The power of the Constellation was just as great.

[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]

-3 hours and 21 minutes left until the fourth monster wave.

Now, what Seun had to do was to make the most of the time until the next wave.

* * *

As planned in advance, Sewoon focused on making Danjeon for the rest of the time.

Magic is solved with a mana circle, but when handling a sword or moving the body, it is the most efficient to use a short circuit.

Just by opening the dantian, it is certain that the power of the taijutsu that has been used so far will greatly increase.

– Opened the treasure house of greed.

[ Samjae Gong (三才功) ]

– Samjae’s view of all things according to the three sources of the universe: Heaven, Earth, and Human.

Sam Jae Gong.

Contrary to the grandiose explanation, it is a mental method called the most basic martial arts among many internal qigong.

It is said to be the safest technique and is good for building a frame, but its efficiency is extremely poor compared to other techniques.

It can be said to be similar to the training method of the blue tower used to create the mana circle.

Of course, the reason why Samjae Gong was chosen among many and many ways was the same as the training method of Cheongtap. After cleaning the frame with Samjae-gong, I plan to use other techniques to develop Danjeon efficiently.

“Whoa… … .”

He chews on the tricks of Samjae Gong and controls his breath.

Is it because they are headed in the same direction? Among the tricks of Samjae Gong, there were many overlaps with Cheongtap’s training method.

The difference is that it directs mana toward the lower abdomen, not the heart.

And this time, it is not to create something like a circle, but to ‘open’ the hardened dantian.

thud!

Mana moved according to Seun’s guidance. No, Naegong arrives at Danjeon and knocks on the door. When it doesn’t respond, it hits the door harder and faster.

Sewoon, who is harder than expected, catches his breath calmly, then tightly unites his inner energy and strikes hard like a battering ram.

bang!!

Soon after, with a shock that made my body tremble.

-We succeeded in opening Danjeon (丹田) through Samjae Gong.

-Danjeon is opened, and it is possible to control internal energy in the body.

– The efficiency of all weapons used increases according to the level of inner strength.

– Achieved outstanding achievements.

– Acquired 1,000 points as a reward.

Sewoon’s Danjeon was wide open.

Sewoon, who succeeded in opening the Danjeon in less than two hours, lightly wiped away the cold sweat.

Somehow, the Constellations that sensed Seun’s strength began to gather once again.

– The constellation, ‘general in splendid armor’, is amazed at your aggressiveness!

-The constellation, ‘The Dreadful Gray-Haired Old Man’ is surprised, saying that this is not a realm of extreme wisdom.

-Constellation, the ‘General who chases evil spirits’… … .

Of course.

Like the mana circle, it was known that it would take months at least to open the dantian.

Even those who are called geniuses take a few weeks, and even if it is short, they need a few days.

It was known that it was impossible to wake up to Danjeon in less than two hours, as Se-Woon did, unless it was forcibly applied to Danjeon.

The Constellations who knew this came and tried to talk to Sewoon.

-The constellation, the ‘head bowed crow’, lifts up the treasure once again.

-Constellation, ‘a nasty white-haired old man’ told me to wait a moment… … .

-The constellation ‘Crow with its Head Down’ has blocked all communications with constellations lower than itself.

Same this time too. Due to Mamon’s actions, all messages from the Constellations were blocked.

Of course, no matter how much Mamon he is, he can’t even block communications from constellations that are similar to him.

Among the evil gods, he has the status of a main god, so it is clear that he will not be able to approach Seun with a moderate level of divinity.

When I looked up, the remaining time was about an hour.

Since the time to head for the rocky mountain was ambiguous, I was about to close my eyes again with the thought of accumulating more mana.

Took.

Three objects were placed in front of Seun’s eyes.

A gray cloak with a sheen that seemed to have been polished, and a crude white dagger placed on top of it.

These are the items that Seun entrusted to Ko Chang-seok.

“It ended sooner than I thought.”

“I was hoping to find some useful abrasive, but I should be able to get one here. First of all, I finished tanning it as much as I could and trimmed it into a form that I could wear.”

“This dagger… … .”

“I just sharpened it and sharpened it. The ingredients are usable, but I didn’t have the right tools, so it was quite difficult to grind them ignorantly with a whetstone.”

Contrary to the words that it was difficult, Ko Chang-seok’s face looked very bright.

It must have been fun to return to my main job for a while, in the midst of the confusion of dealing with monsters in a new world.

Seun immediately tried to use his emotions toward the items in front of him.

[ Gray Wolf Cloak ]

Classification: Cloak

Grade: D

Description: The hide of a Gray Wolf who ruled over the Brown Wolf in the Wolf Forest. Skilled artisans neatly processed it to maximize its original strength.

Ability: 1. Intimidation – As a leader, grants charisma to allies and fear to enemies.

2. Blessing of Wind – Movement speed increases by 10%.

First, the cloak.

The only thing that changed was the slightly increased movement speed, but Sewoon knew. Not only did the leather harden through tanning, but it was neatly processed so that it would not interfere with movement.

This alone would not only increase the defensive power, but would also make the movement even smoother.

[Molar Dagger]

Classification: Dagger

Rating: D+

Description: The tusk of the ‘burrowing wild boar’ that reigned over the hill. Sharpening and shaping it only with a whetstone, it brought out its power to the extreme.

Abilities: 1. Reckless Rushing – Attack power and cutting power increase by 20% only for thrusting.

2. Durability – Durability has increased significantly by inheriting the strength of the previous life.

“How is it, do you like it?”

“Yes, really.”

“I’ve been working hard for the first time in a while, but my shoulders are all sore.”

Ko Chang-seok said that and turned his shoulders around.

Even in the midst of that, Seun’s eyes didn’t want to leave the dagger.

‘Raising the grade to D+ without any tools.’

It was a material for boss monsters, but there was no basic equipment, let alone a forge.

So I didn’t expect too much from Sewoon, but this was a result that exceeded my expectations several steps.

Even if the whetstone entrusted to him was a material with excellent performance obtained through the boss monster.

It wasn’t that Veris started to take an interest in Ko Chang-seok for nothing.

“I guess I made this roughly with leftover leather. You won’t be able to carry two weapons all the time.”

“thank you.”

Ko Chang-seok handed Sewoon a leather belt.

I was worried about how to carry a weapon, but it seemed like there would be no worries for the time being.

“And in the future, I want you to take care of the camp’s equipment instead of going into battle yourself.”

“… … Are you okay? The more power, the better.”

“no. If the elderly make good equipment, it will be of much greater help.”

“Hmm. Of course, it’s what I used to do, so it should be good.”

“You don’t have to worry. As long as the elder made the equipment, I will use more power.”

“Since you say so, you are trustworthy.”

He’s still a bit hesitant, but he doesn’t seem to have any intention of rejecting it. It would be better for him to touch equipment than to fight monsters.

Se-un visited Seo-ah Yoo to discuss Ko Chang-seok’s new role.

Even if it wasn’t about Ko Chang-seok, there was one more thing I wanted to say.

About an hour until the fourth wave.

This battle will be different in difficulty from the previous three waves.
