Stole the Demon God’s Vault – Episode 445

Chapter 445

“How did they figure out our intentions?”

“The abduction of a spirit is, logically, impossible. Add to that the summons from the Four Great Spirit Kings. Since you called Forger, it was obvious you’d ask me, wasn’t it?”

“Even so…”

“Wait. That’s not what’s important right now.”

“…True.”

Thankfully, Elquinesse handled the situation well.

Turiek held Forger’s trembling hands to calm him, and Elquinesse smiled and continued.

“That’s right. We are taking this situation very seriously. The fact that a spirit was kidnapped, forcibly disconnected from the Spirit Realm, and even tortured is not something we can take lightly.”

“Unforgivable.”

“Well, isn’t it partly Elquinesse’s fault? You didn’t even know your child was missing.”

“…Yes. I will apologize for my carelessness. If this matter is resolved, I will take full responsibility, even if it means stepping down from my position.”

“No, it doesn’t have to go that far.”

“We would have done the same, Minerva.”

“I know, I know. Sometimes, immature children go to the mortal realm and become infatuated with spiritists, breaking their contracts. Isn’t that right, Trowell?”

“…I didn’t break my contract!”

“Yes, it was broken.”

“That’s…!”

“Quiet.”

“Ahem, why only when I speak…”

Elquinesse sighed at the commotion between Trowell and Minerva. Still, thanks to Salion’s intervention, she was able to continue.

“So, please, if you know anything, tell us.”

Seun nodded at her polite request.

If Seun’s prediction was correct, he might be able to gain the help of the Spirit Realm, including the Four Great Spirit Kings, in his future plans.

“Have you heard of the Fallen King? Or a name like Outer?”

“Fallen King? I don’t know what it is, but it’s quite a cheesy name.”

“Outer, I don’t know either.”

“We all tend to be ignorant of what happens outside the Spirit Realm, so we don’t know much.”

Naturally, none of the Spirit Kings seemed to know.

Well, at this point, it was natural that no one but Seun, who had experienced regression [reincarnation or time travel], would know about the Outer.

Even so, he couldn’t just explain it with words to those who knew nothing.

Seun raised his hand and prepared a simple spell.

“It’s roughly like this.”

Seun had become quite familiar with the changes in magical formulas as he began to imbue magic into his sword. He used that method to transform the magic this time as well.

Dyeing water magic black and giving it a thick viscosity.

If he manipulated the resulting black liquid through variable formulas….

Twitch.

A liquid that looked quite similar to the Outer was created.

It was made better than he thought, but even if those who didn’t know about the Outer saw this, they wouldn’t suddenly understand it.

As Seun was about to explain the Outer further.

“Eek!”

“Forger! It’s okay, calm down. I’m here for you.”

An unexpected reaction appeared.

Forger, who was barely calming his trembling by holding Turiek’s hand, gasped and shook off her hand, running towards the wall.

Then, he crouched down, covered his head with his arms, and trembled.

With this, Seun could be even more certain of his guess.

“I believe this Outer, or the being presumed to be the leader of the Outer, the Fallen King, kidnapped Forger.”

The man he first encountered in the basement of Zeheton, the Fallen King.

There, he was conducting experiments using the Outer and meteorites, using the Redfish Merchant leader.

He himself mentioned the word ‘learning’ and watched the conflict between Seun and the test subjects with interest.

‘If it’s that kind of guy, he would have been interested in spirits too.’

Seun hadn’t seen it, but if the Fallen King mentioned the world before regression, he would have known that the Outer couldn’t consume spirits.

If so, wouldn’t he have conducted various experiments to consume spirits, just like in Zeheton?

He didn’t know the method, but wouldn’t he have kidnapped Forger and tried to forcibly inject the Outer?

“Do you have any evidence?”

“We can confirm it directly with the person involved.”

Seun stood up. Then, he approached Forger, who was cowering in a corner on the opposite side.

“M-Master. Forger is not ready yet…”

“It’s a problem you have to overcome anyway. If you don’t overcome this, you’ll never find your old self. Is that okay?”

“That’s…”

The hand of Turiek, who was trying to stop Seun by pulling on his sleeve, slowly lost its strength.

She also knew that if things continued like this, Forger would never find his old self.

“Tell me. What happened?”

“Eek! N-No! Don’t come near me…”

Seun approached Forger and held out the black liquid.

Even though there was no more room to escape, Forger writhed as if he would break through the wall, trying to escape from the black liquid.

Soon, the sticky black liquid that Seun created touched Forger’s body.

“Aaaaaaaah!”

Forger screamed, thrashing his body.

He thought that making him directly overcome the past nightmare would be the fastest way to break through, but seeing that 모습 [Korean: appearance], he wondered if he had gone too far.

However, in the current situation, he couldn’t just wait indefinitely for Forger to regain his senses.

Still, just as he was about to cancel the magic, thinking that Forger might break down if things continued like this….

“Forger, hang in there. I’m here for you. I’ll protect you.”

“Tu, Turiek…”

Turiek approached and took Forger’s left hand.

Forger, who had been thrashing, stopped moving for a moment and began to calm down very slowly.

“My child. Don’t worry. I will never let you go again.”

“Mother…”

The Water Spirit King, Elquinesse, knelt beside him, holding Forger’s right hand.

The trembling in Forger’s body completely disappeared with the warm warmth coming from both sides.

Forger bit his lip tightly, straightened his posture, and looked at Seun.

Then, he confidently faced the black liquid and raised his hand.

“I, I remember…”

Forger’s hand touched the black liquid.

Seun, thinking that he had overcome the past trauma with this, canceled the magic, and the black liquid poured down and disappeared as if it were a lie.

As if Forger’s trauma had disappeared.

“Fallen King…”

The same name that Seun had uttered was heard from Forger’s mouth.

At this, the eyes of the Spirit Kings surrounding the round table widened, and Elquinesse stroked Forger’s head as if he were proud.

“I think he called himself the Fallen King. And that, ugh…”

“It’s okay. Take your time.”

“Yes, yes… Pitch-black things surrounded me. They were trying to get into my body.”

“Oh my…”

“They also dropped me into a black bathtub, and they stabbed my body with thorns to put the pitch-black stuff in. It was so painful. It was so scary.”

“How dare they! To our child!”

“Calm down, Trowell.”

“Can’t you see we’re holding back too?”

Seun’s guess was correct.

He didn’t know if it was something that had happened before regression or something that had happened newly this time.

Before regression, Seun didn’t have any connection with spirits, and he didn’t realize the existence of the Outer until it broke the ceiling of the tower.

“I wanted to run away. I couldn’t move my body because of that chain, but it was so painful, so hard, I wanted to run away.”

Forger pointed to the Shackles of Denial in Seun’s hand.

He wondered why it felt so unsettling, but he never knew it would be the Fallen King’s item.

“So much time passed that it was hard to count. I don’t even know how long it’s been. Then… I lost my memory.”

“Don’t you remember anything at all?”

“Yes. I still have painful and unpleasant feelings, but I don’t have any memories that come to mind. The next thing I remember is Turiek’s voice, who came to save me.”

Unfortunately, Forger didn’t remember much.

He could prove that Seun’s guess was correct, but he couldn’t find out any more information.

As Forger finished speaking, Trowell, who had been sitting in his seat suppressing his anger, couldn’t stand it and stood up.

Then, he approached Seun roughly, grabbed both of his shoulders, and leaned in close.

“Fallen King, Outer! What are those guys! Where are they!”

“Trowell!”

“Seriously, when is he going to grow up?”

“I’m sorry. But those are the questions we want to ask too.”

The Spirit Kings stopped Trowell’s excessive behavior, but their hearts were the same.

From here on, it was Seun’s turn to explain.

‘If I can get the Spirit Kings on my side, it’s definitely worth it.’

Seun nodded at the Spirit Kings’ words and began to explain about the Outer.

* * *

“Then, their goal is…”

“The domination or destruction of the Tower. Perhaps, it’s a goal that targets not only the Tower but all dimensions.”

Seun’s explanation was over.

He excluded the parts that were difficult to talk about, including regression, and tried to explain as concisely as possible, but it still took quite a while to explain.

Fortunately, Trowell didn’t interrupt during the explanation.

No, to be exact, Minerva stepped in and shut his mouth every time Trowell tried to open it.

“A more serious matter than we thought was happening.”

“Wait. I believe what happened to the Water Child, but don’t we need to verify what that guy said? He might have mixed in lies to use us.”

“Trowell, you still…”

“I’m not just being cranky. I’m saying we should be sure since it’s an important matter.”

Was it because it was a serious matter? Trowell was no longer showing hostility towards Seun.

Rather, true to his title as the Earth Spirit King, he was looking at the situation seriously with heavy and solid eyes.

Minerva looked at Trowell as if she was surprised, but there was one problem here.

“But, isn’t there no way to prove it?”

“Spirits can’t lie, but humans can.”

“And there’s not much time left.”

What way is there to judge human lies?

As the Spirit Kings were showing difficulty, Turiek, who had been stroking Forger, suddenly joined the conversation.

“If you allow me, can I bring my siblings?”

“Siblings?”

“Yes. My siblings can prove Master’s words.”

“What is that…”

“Do so.”

“Elquinesse. If we summon more spirits than this, the time we can maintain the round table will be even shorter.”

“So we need to be even more certain. Isn’t it better than wasting time like this?”

“I agree.”

“Me too.”

“…Ahem. I understand.”

As soon as the four Spirit Kings agreed, the crystal door that Turiek had entered through opened.

Turiek stood in front of it, spread her wings, and mixed purple into the light of contemplation.

Then, before long….

“Sister.”

“Sis.”

Two spirits appeared through the light of the crystal door.

Two spirits, each with one left wing and one right wing, proving that they were siblings.

The two were bowing politely to Turiek, as if a normal spirit would bow to a Spirit King.

‘Well, Turiek is a high-ranking spirit.’

Not long ago, Turiek’s fear was recognized as she built structures within the trial with her twin sisters, and she was promoted to a high-ranking spirit.

Along with that, a message appeared that the realm of fear was spreading in the Spirit Realm, and it seemed that she had accepted some of the mental spirits thanks to that.

“The Child of Truth and the Child of Lies.”

“Certainly, with those two, we can prove human words.”

“Spirits can’t lie. Even if it’s a spirit of lies.”

Through the Spirit Kings’ conversation, they could guess the identities of the two spirits that Turiek had brought.

As Turiek explained the situation, the two spirits nodded and stood before Seun.

“Was Oppa [Korean: term of endearment used by a younger female to address an older male] telling the truth?”

“Yes.”

With Seun’s answer, one wing of the spirit on the right sparkled.

“Was Hyung [Korean: term of endearment used by a younger male to address an older male] not telling a lie?”

“It’s all true.”

This time, one wing of the spirit on the left sparkled.

As the two spirits holding hands smiled brightly and nodded, all four Spirit Kings had no choice but to believe Seun’s words.

“By the way, that’s amazing? The spirits of the center are completely neutral. We don’t touch them unless it’s a special occasion.”

“That’s how unstable that place is, and those are unstable children.”

“That means you’re perfectly handling those children?”

“Certainly, that’s amazing.”

The four Spirit Kings looked at Turiek and nodded.

Bringing the two spirits was more amazing than Seun thought.

However, in the first place, they had brought new spirits in a short amount of time, so there wasn’t much time left.

Even right now, the surrounding crystal walls were becoming increasingly blurred.

At this, Elquinesse spoke first.

“Then, we should come to a conclusion.”

It was time to put an end to the round table meeting.
