I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 424

Chapter 424

“Pozer, are you okay? It’s me, Turik. Pozer, Pozer!”

Unlike the form I first saw, it was a spirit made of mist, similar in size to Turik.

The eerie light in its eyes and the bulging mist, as if it were going berserk, had subsided, so the anomaly seemed to have disappeared.

This meant the boss monster had been defeated.

“Pozer, wake up. Please, please.”

Seun also gently landed next to Pozer and Turik.

The surrounding terrain had completely collapsed, but fortunately, a small amount of mist was providing a place for Pozer to stand.

Even this was shaking precariously.

“Tu…rik?”

“Yes, it’s me! Are you awake?”

Pozer’s eyes slowly opened, his chest not even moving as if he had stopped breathing.

He seemed to be fully conscious as he spoke.

Turik, moved by this, burst into tears again and hugged Pozer.

It seemed their relationship was deeper than Seun had thought.

“Turik… how did you get here? Ah, no. *Hicc*, gasp! Aah!”

“Pozer, Pozer!”

“Stop, stop! Please, stop releasing it now. I don’t want to anymore……”

“Pozer, it’s me! Wake up!”

Pozer’s fit began.

Each time his body trembled, some of the faint mist that made up his body slowly dissipated.

This meant that Pozer’s spirit energy was running out.

For a spirit, spirit energy was an element akin to life force.

If it were a normal spirit, it would return to the Spirit Realm to recharge its power when its spirit energy ran out, but Pozer’s situation was not so good.

Frankly, in that state, it seemed like it would already be too late to return to the Spirit Realm.

Perhaps, the connection with the Spirit Realm was about to be severed.

“Pozer, Pozer!”

“Wait a moment.”

Seun approached and sprinkled potions on Pozer’s body.

Not only the high-grade potions he had prepared for any eventuality, but also the rare potions he had taken from Mammon’s warehouse in the previous contract.

He had hoped, but as expected, potions had no effect on a spirit.

‘Then……’

Seun was not a spiritist.

Turik was staying in Seun’s stigma and using divinity to replenish her own power, not being supplied with spirit energy by Seun.

He thought of Mammon’s treasures, but he couldn’t think of any tools that would be helpful in this situation.

Then.

‘Maybe……’

At the same time as he thought of a small possibility, Seun rotated the circle.

There was still quite a bit of mana left that he had recovered with the Authority of Sloth.

It seemed like the aftereffects would be quite severe if he used all of this, but it wasn’t the time to save mana for Turik’s sake.

– The Vault of Greed has been opened.

[White Fog]

– One of the weather magic spells of the Azure Tower, it creates a dense fog to block the enemy’s vision and confuse their senses.

A thick fog poured out of Seun’s hand.

He didn’t know how to handle spirit energy, but Pozer was a spirit of fog.

He thought that if he infused him with fog, he might be able to repair his body and recover his spirit energy on his own.

“Now, now……”

Was Seun’s idea correct? Pozer’s fit stopped, and the dissipating fog ceased.

Very weakly, the fog that Seun had created was slowly being absorbed, and Pozer’s body was becoming clearer.

Pozer’s expression, which had been in pain, also calmed down a little.

“Pozer……”

However, he hadn’t completely healed him.

Pozer, whose fit had stopped, was unconscious as if completely exhausted.

When he stopped the magic for a moment, the fog began to dissipate again little by little.

“This won’t do.”

Seun couldn’t keep blowing fog next to him for the rest of his life.

Unless he found another way, Pozer would eventually disappear.

Still, there was no other way right now, so he managed to draw his mana to its limit and fill Pozer’s body with thick fog.

At that moment, Turik, who had been restless beside him, hardened her expression as if she had made a decision.

“I’ll take him.”

“Take him where?”

“To the Spirit Realm.”

The Spirit Realm was a space filled with spirit energy in all directions.

Taking Pozer to the Spirit Realm in the current situation was the best choice, and Seun had thought of it too.

However, there was one major problem here.

“Once a being’s connection to the Spirit Realm is severed, they can’t return to the Spirit Realm, right?”

For example, the Fallen Spirits were like that.

Before his regression, Seun had encountered quite a variety of Fallen Spirits while exploring dungeons, but he had never seen a spirit return to the Spirit Realm even if their corruption was healed.

If they were lucky enough to be a spiritist who knew how to handle spirit energy, they could maintain their lives through a contract, but even then, it was impossible to return the spirit to the Spirit Realm.

The standards of the Spirit Realm were that strict.

Whether by choice or by force, once the connection with the Spirit Realm was severed, they could never return.

“Authority, I got it.”

“Authority? Could it be……”

Seun recalled the message he had seen before.

In the previous trial, when he completed ‘Black Beak’ with Han A-reum, Turik’s power was recognized and she was promoted to a High-Rank Spirit.

In fact, Seun hadn’t felt the difference even though she had become a High-Rank Spirit.

“My territory, it’s expanded. It’s a violation of the contract, but. Within my territory, I can take Pozer.”

“Are you sure? I know that violating the Spirit Realm’s contract is a serious crime.”

“Yes. But, I have to save my friend.”

It was a problem that could potentially get Turik kicked out of the Spirit Realm as well.

Although she had been living in Seun’s stigma longer than in the Spirit Realm, her power would inevitably weaken greatly if she was banished from the Spirit Realm.

He thought of various problems connected to that, but Seun nodded.

“Okay.”

“Really… are you okay? I, I might get weaker.”

“It’s really okay.”

Recently, he was reminded of his companions who had nodded even after hearing about Seun’s regression at the inn.

He was reminded of his companions who had smiled brightly even after hearing about the steps heading towards destruction.

He wouldn’t have understood it before, but he could understand it now.

“Hurry back.”

“Yes, thank you!”

Turik spread her wings wide and closed her eyes.

A familiar pattern floated in front of her as purple energy surged. It was the contract circle that Seun had created with the help of Riel to contract with spirits.

“Thank you. Thank you so much. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

“Come back safely.”

“Yes!”

Turik struggled to lift Pozer and fluttered her wings, entering the contract circle.

Even so, she didn’t forget to bow her head to Seun to express her gratitude.

The time in the Spirit Realm was different from the Human Realm.

She said she would be back soon, but he didn’t know how long it would take.

In the meantime, he wouldn’t be able to receive Turik’s help, including her wings, but he could endure that much.

“…I hope you can protect him.”

After Turik disappeared, Seun collapsed due to rapid mana dehydration and aftereffects from the Authority of Sloth, having exhausted all of his mana.

* * *

The easternmost part of the Spirit Realm.

Even in the Spirit Realm, where the surrounding environment changes drastically depending on the location, this place was especially beautiful.

The endlessly 펼쳐진 [spread out] sea sparkled like a mirror, and the horizon was 깔끔했다 [pristine] without a speck of dust.

Waterways spurted like fountains from all directions, and waterfalls poured down beautifully from the sky as if there were holes.

Instead of 풀 [grass] and 나무 [trees], coral reefs and 말미잘 [sea anemones] became the homes of the spirits, and countless water spirits 떠돌며 [wandered] 재잘재잘 떠들었다 [chattered] around them.

“꺄르르륵! [Giggle!]”

“Shall we flow over there today?”

“I want to go with you!”

“Me too!”

The water spirits 순환하며 [circulated] 바다를 유영했다 [swam] the east along the waterways like jellyfish.

The beautiful scenery was nothing less than the greatest treasure 허락된 [granted] only to spirits.

“Be careful, children.”

Among them, the most 눈에 띄는 [conspicuous] building stood out. No, not a building, but a coral reef.

Not only was it incomparably larger than other coral reefs, but it was also a coral reef that had 활짝 피어난 [bloomed] as if it had been beautifully 조각된 [sculpted] for someone.

Even the 거대한 조개 [giant clam] that was 벌리고 입을 활짝 [wide open] on top of it.

Instead of a 반짝이는 진주 [sparkling pearl] inside the 조개 [clam], an even more 아름다운 여인 [beautiful woman] sat there, 바라보며 활짝 미소 짓고 있었다 [watching and smiling brightly] the spirits who were 조잘조잘 떠들어대는 [chattering].

“Yes, Mother!”

She was the Spirit King who manages the east of the Spirit Realm.

As one of only four Spirit Kings in the Spirit Realm, she is a spirit who controls all the water in the world and can be said to be all the water in the world itself.

The Water Spirit King, Elquines.

“Everyone looks happy today too. I wish this happiness would last forever.”

“Mother.”

“Elestra. What’s going on?”

A spirit in the form of a 새 [bird] 살포시 착지하며 [gently landing] 고개를 숙였다 [bowed her head] in front of her.

The feathers of her 전신 [whole body] were made of water, 반사되어 반짝거렸고 [reflecting and sparkling] in the sunlight, and her 부리 [beak] looked 날카롭고 단단해 [sharp and hard] like ice.

Elestra.

She was the 최상급 [highest-ranking] water spirit, one of the few in the Spirit Realm, who could be said to be the Spirit King’s hands and feet.

“The child of fear has come.”

“The child of fear…… are you talking about Turik?”

“That’s right.”

Elquines 갸웃거렸다 [tilted] her head.

In the east, west, south, and north of the Spirit Realm, spirits of the four major attributes are 자리를 잡고 있다 [positioned] respectively.

Spirits derived from the four major attributes are 자리를 잡고 있다 [positioned] around them, and 고유 [unique] spirits that are 동떨어진 [separate] from the four major attributes live in the 중앙부 [central area].

The spirit of fear was the same.

If she had to 비교하자면 [compare], she lived closer to the east, but she couldn’t think of a reason why the spirit of fear would 찾아올 [come] to this side.

‘She recently became a High-Rank Spirit, but……’

That is not a reason for her to 찾아올 [come] here.

In the Spirit Realm, there is no culture of 찾아오는 [coming] to bow to superiors after being promoted.

Rather, the four major spirits and the spirits of the 중앙부 [central area] basically had a 본능적인 거리감 [instinctive distance], so they 어지간해서는 [usually] didn’t 찾아오는 [come] separately like this.

And soon, the reason why the spirit of fear had 찾아온 [come] flowed out of Elestra’s mouth.

“She brought the child of mist.”

“The mist? ……Perhaps.”

“Yes, she brought Pozer.”

In the Spirit Realm, 직급 [rank] is 곧 [equal to] name.

However, even if they 부른다고 직급 [call them by rank], the spirits could 구분하고 [distinguish] the difference and 알아차릴 수 [recognize] 존재 [existence].

Even if they called all the thousands and thousands of 하급 [lower-ranking] water spirits ‘Nix,’ they could 구분할 수 [distinguish] which child they were talking about.

Pozer was the same.

“But, wasn’t Pozer a child whose connection with the Spirit Realm had been severed? And that was quite a long time ago.”

“Yes. She broke the rules, so I secured her 신병 [custody] for now, but I was worried about the situation, so I 찾아왔습니다 [came] to report to you first.”

“Thank you, my child. Can you 안내해 [guide] me 바로 [immediately]?”

“If you 허락만 [allow], I will 데려오겠습니다 [bring] her here 바로 [immediately].”

“Please.”

휘이이- [Whoosh]

With Elquines’ 허락 [permission], water droplets 몽글거리며 생겨났다 [bubbled up and formed] two birds in the 허공 [air].

As soon as they 착지했다 [landed] on the 바닥 [ground], they 고개를 숙이고 인사를 올렸고 [bowed and greeted] to Elquines, and Elestra 펼쳐 날개를 [spread her wings] and 내려놓았다 [set down] the two small 존재 [beings].

“P, please. Sob. My friend. Please save Pozer. 흐윽 [Sniff].”

“You’ve grown a lot, child of fear.”

Although there was no 연 [connection], Elquines, as the Spirit King, knows all the 존재 [beings] that exist in the Spirit Realm.

She hears all the 소식 [news] of the Spirit Realm and 판단한다 [judges] all the 소식 [news] of the Spirit Realm.

Turik, who had 진급한 [promoted] to a High-Rank Spirit, was much more 성숙해져 [mature] than she had seen before.

Although her face was 눈물범벅이 되어 눈가가 퉁퉁 부어 지금 [covered in tears and her eyes were swollen], she could feel her 진심 [sincerity] even more because of that.

“Pozer, my old child……”

Elquines 내려가 [descended] from the 조개 [clam] and 꿇었다 양 무릎 [knelt on both knees].

Then, she 조심스럽게 뻗어 팔 [carefully reached out her arm] and 들어 올렸다 [lifted] Pozer’s body, which was 간신히 유지하고 숨 [barely maintaining breath].

Just by 잠깐 만졌을 몸 [briefly touching his body], Elquines could 깨달을 수 [realize] the 이변 [unusual event] that had 일어난 [occurred] in Pozer’s body.

“Soon, the 평온 [peace] of this place may be 흔들릴지도 [shaken].”

“The 벌 [punishment]……”

“The 벌 [punishment] should be 보류해야겠단다 [put on hold]. 보다 그 [More than that]……”

Elquines 일어났다 [rose] from her 자리 [place].

Pozer’s 숨결 [breath], who was 안겨 [held] in her 품 [arms], began to 진정되기 조금씩 [calm down little by little].

“We need to 소집해야겠구나 [summon] all the Spirit Kings.”

That day, the 고고한 [noble] Spirit Kings, who were 지키고 있던 각자의 영역 [guarding their respective territories] at the 사방 끝자락 [four corners] of the Spirit Realm, 몰려들었다 한 자리에 [gathered in one place].
