The Thief of the Demon God’s Vault – Episode 481

481

“What’s Turik’s place like?”

– At first, it was small and dark, right next to Seo’s place, which was a bit depressing.

“Seo?”

– We’re close now! He’s a spirit of sorrow, but very kind, even though he cries easily.

“I see.”

Seun’s research progressed through conversations with Turik.

Turik enjoyed talking to Seun, especially about his new friends in the Spirit Realm and the expanded territories.

So, Seun could write a paper just by listening to Turik’s stories, without a complicated research process.

“Oh, a spirit of sorrow! Is that different from a spirit of grief?”

“It must be subtly different. The emotions I felt when I contracted with Merlo were also slightly different from sorrow.”

“I see! Similar yet different emotions are divided into several categories, so the emotion-based spirits must have been divided as unaffiliated.”

The Elder’s help was significant here.

Even Seun, who thought he was familiar with writing papers, found that Spirit Realm papers had quite different writing styles and methods of citing evidence.

The Elder and his two assistants, watching Seun write, volunteered to help, saying, ‘That’s not how you do it! Shouldn’t this be written like this!’

Seun remembered that some sages in other labs steal research material from their assistants, but the Elder seemed focused on exploring new knowledge and perfecting the paper, without regard for personal gain or achievement.

He was newly grateful that he had ended up here with the Elder.

“Really?”

– Yes! Hehe, I’m so happy! I love talking about this with my master!

As they talked, Seun naturally became closer to Turik.

Becoming closer to a spirit meant that he could control the spirit’s power more freely, which was beneficial.

Above all, he realized quite a few things through this conversation.

Some of them seemed immediately applicable in battle.

For example…….

“Then, can you summon them now?”

– Hmm, it seems possible here! Just a moment, I’ll try!

*Woo-oong.*

Like summoning an unaffiliated spirit included in Turik’s domain.

As Turik closed his eyes and concentrated, a door similar to the one seen at the round table appeared on the lab wall.

Even though it was small, the door trembled and opened with difficulty, as if it was a challenging task.

Soon, a small spirit appeared.

– Turik-nim [term of respect], did you call me?

– Fury, it’s been a while!

The spirit of fury, Fury.

Seun felt the spirit energy in the lab decrease, perhaps because it was summoned using the lab’s energy.

“Oh, a spirit summoning a spirit! Isn’t this a technique only the Spirit King can do!”

“Is that true? Then that spirit of fear…….”

“He’s not a Spirit King. Not to that extent. Ah, the premise may have been wrong in the first place. It wasn’t that only the Spirit King could summon spirits.”

“Then…….”

“It was just a simple condition: you could summon the spirits that belong to you!”

“Then the Four Great Spirits should also be able to summon lower spirits, right?”

“No. The Four Great Spirits all belong to the Spirit King of the corresponding attribute. So only the Spirit King can call them.”

“I see. The emotion-based spirits don’t have a Spirit King to belong to…….”

“Yes. That’s why expanding the domain means governing the spirits in that domain.”

“Wait, if you keep expanding the domain in that way and make all the unaffiliated spirits belong to you?”

“It would take a tremendous amount of power. But if that’s possible…… wouldn’t a new king be born in the Spirit Realm?”

“Wow…….”

Seun focused on the conversation between the Elder and the assistant, who were muttering next to him.

They were probably muttering the information that came to their minds without realizing it, but to Seun, they were invaluable pieces of information.

Not just things that could be recorded in a paper, but also things about Turik’s future or direction of growth.

‘A Spirit King…….’

Suddenly, he imagined Turik sitting between the four Spirit Kings at the round table.

Turik seemed too young for that yet, but wouldn’t it be possible with the current growth rate?

The center of the Spirit Realm. The birth of a Spirit King who encompasses the unaffiliated spirits related to mind, phenomena, and actions…….

Just imagining Turik sitting in the center made his shoulders shrug involuntarily.

– Fury, how is it over there these days?

– Everyone is busy, especially in the outer areas.

– It seems like all the Spirit Kings are moving busily.

Watching Turik and the lower spirit talking, one possibility came to mind.

The spirit summoned now is Fury.

If it’s the spirit of fury, could it strengthen the power of frenzy, just like Turik strengthened the power of fear?

“Turik, is something like this possible?”

– Huh? Hmm, I’ll try! Fury, can you help me?

– I will follow your instructions.

Fury came to Seun.

As he held out his right hand, Fury was sucked into the stigma as if being drawn in.

Immediately, a sense of resistance was felt from the stigma.

It was uncomfortable, as if a foreign substance had entered, and his fist clenched on its own due to the burning sensation that wasn’t hot but felt like it was burning.

Suppressing all the rejection, Seun manifested the power of the stigma.

– The stigma reacts to the Legend of the Blood Wolf.

– The second ability of the stigma, ‘Frenzy,’ awakens.

A hot emotion, different from usual, rose through the stigma into his chest.

He wanted to swing his clenched fist right away, and he wanted to grab a sharp blade quickly.

He felt a hot emotion similar to fighting spirit when he manifested the power of frenzy, but this emotion was different.

Anger.

Fury’s power was mingled with the power of frenzy.

It was clear that the power of frenzy was burning more fiercely than usual.

He wanted to test this power right away, but…….

*Thud!*

“Keuk.”

“You! Are you okay? What did you suddenly do? Even if it hurts, bear with it a little and tell me what you feel now! If you don’t say these things right away, you’ll forget them soon! Knowledge takes precedence over pain!”

The Elder’s reaction was a bit annoying, but Seun was able to regain his composure quickly because it was the expected result.

Although he couldn’t maintain it for very long.

‘It’s possible.’

He succeeded in strengthening the power of frenzy with Fury’s power.

There were various problems, such as the fact that he couldn’t summon lower spirits like Fury without spirit energy yet, and the unique rejection when an uncontracted spirit entered.

However, it was enough gain just to have the potential for development.

‘This is good.’

He was just thinking about writing a paper and finding the Outer [referring to entities from outside the Spirit Realm].

He thought he had already acquired most of the information that he could get as a player before the regression, but that wasn’t the case.

Even if he didn’t move his body, there was still a way to develop his strength through research and experimentation.

Rather, considering the recent training, learning new things like this helped him develop more than simply moving his body.

“Shall we check a few more things?”

– Yes!

“Wait a moment. How about checking this first? It will definitely help you! Please!”

The time in El Abr flew by faster and more enjoyably than he thought.

* * *

“Lord Rrrbadon, what is this all of a sudden?”

“A sudden call. You usually turn a deaf ear to our calls, shamelessly.”

“I’m busy, so please tell me what you need quickly.”

“Ah, did you perhaps think about helping with the research I mentioned last time? You thought really well!”

El Abr’s seminar room.

Five sages, including Rrrbadon, were gathered in a fairly large space. They were all sages who conducted research related to spirits in El Abr.

Compared to other professions, there were particularly few spiritists, so their relationship was quite close.

Except for one person, Rrrbadon.

“Hehe, everyone shut up. Stop talking nonsense.”

“I came all the way here, and this senile old man……!”

Still, blood is thicker than water, so they gathered at the request of the same spiritist, even though he had a bad personality, but he suddenly spoke like that.

One of the sages, unable to bear it, stood up from his seat, and a bundle of papers fell in front of him.

The same was true for the other sages.

“What is this?”

“My lab’s assistant…… no, he’s not affiliated with our lab. Anyway, it’s a newly written paper.”

“A new consideration of the hierarchy of the Spirit Realm?”

“How many are there?”

“The possibility of growth for unaffiliated spirits, analysis of the special characteristics of mental spirits…… What is all this? Seun? It’s not a paper you wrote.”

“Too much talk. That’s why I told you to shut up. Just close your mouths and read it first. Let’s talk after that.”

“Ha, this old geezer!”

*Thud!*

The sage who had stood up slammed his chair back down and sat back down.

Then, he quickly unfolded the papers in front of him.

No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t resist the desire for knowledge.

As long as they were sages in El Abr, their desire for knowledge was one of the desires that surpassed physiological needs.

“…….”

A reading time was maintained for a while.

Only the Elder’s confident chuckling and the sound of papers turning were heard in the seminar room.

Then gradually…….

“Huh……!”

“Unaffiliated spirits can grow?”

“No, what is this! Such sophistry! No, the results seem significant enough.”

“Hey, is this correct? You’re the most knowledgeable about the hierarchy of the Spirit Realm among us.”

“……It’s possible enough. I need to go and check, but it’s possible enough…….”

The sages who had been grumbling and turning over the papers until just now buried their heads in the papers and whispered seriously.

No, the sage who had been grumbling was the most deeply immersed.

Their discussion was endless.

The discussion continued for more than five hours with three papers.

The Elder watched the scene with a satisfied smile.

In the meantime, the sages who had finished the discussion, or rather, the sages who felt limited by the information that could be shared through discussion, put down the papers and stood up from their seats.

“This, this! Seun? Who the hell is he!”

“Hehe, didn’t I tell you? He’s a new guy in our lab.”

“Can I meet him right now? No, I’ll formally invite him to our lab!”

“What are you talking about! I’m first!”

“No way!”

“Didn’t you say I was an expert in this field earlier! I’ll also go through the verification process…….”

“What verification, it’s already meaningful enough! We need to prepare for the next related paper right away!”

“Re-verification is always necessary!”

“Hehe, everyone calm down.”

The Elder calmed the sages with a look that he understood everything. Then, he handed out four pens to each of the sages.

It was with a form to evaluate the value of the paper, and the grade of the paper was determined by the evaluation of the sages in the field.

“First, please evaluate it. Who knows? Maybe they’ll cooperate with you in the order of the best evaluation.”
