Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 633

I Plundered the God of Craftsmanship’s Vault – 633

The Scripture of the Altar.

The power of Ars Almadel Salomonis [a grimoire attributed to King Solomon, detailing summoning rituals] was immense.

– The sea looks so much better with this crimson hue! It’s absolutely beautiful! Ah, a little more! Just a bit more!

To think I can receive the power of Crocell [a Great Duke of Hell, often associated with water and ice].

Even as increasingly powerful enemies blocked Seun’s path as he approached the ‘Contract,’ they all fell helplessly before Crocell’s ice blades.

And so, following the compass of his journey, he finally reached the doorstep of the Contract.

– Ah, it’s such a shame. I wanted to enjoy it a little longer.

“You’ve said ‘a little more’ more than ten times.”

– Hahaha! The Demon Realm’s sea isn’t even like a sea; it’s so sticky. When you immerse yourself in such a place, you can’t help but become like this, you know?

The key’s power was mostly depleted.

The gravitational pull of the abyss intensified, drawing Crocell’s power into it.

– Please call me again next time! I’m welcome anytime, even if it’s not above the sea!

Crocell’s power completely vanished.

At that moment, Seun couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness.

It wasn’t an aftereffect, but rather a feeling of regret from being accustomed to Crocell’s power and then having it taken away.

‘It’s tricky to use frequently.’

The key’s power has become very faint.

It seems it will take quite some time before it can be used again. It’s fortunate that it doesn’t have aftereffects like the Authority of Sloth.

‘Still, with this level of efficiency, I can use the Scripture of Magic more often.’

With the acquisition of the fourth key, the Nephilim’s power greatly recovered.

If he had endured this much when using the Scripture of the Altar, the cooldown for using the Scripture of Magic would have been significantly reduced.

From now on, it seemed he could choose and use the two keys depending on the situation.

– The Authority of Gluttony has designated the ‘Sea of Conflict.’

– The Fangs of Gluttony devour the monsters.

The Fangs of Gluttony appeared as if waiting, voraciously swallowing the enemies.

All the enemies Seun had defeated so far entered Beelzebub’s belly.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ hastily devours the food, complaining about the wait.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ gives a thumbs up, saying it’s even more delicious because he waited.

The number of enemies defeated was high, and since they were from the 91st floor, their quality was also immense, significantly raising his stats.

Seun dismissively cleared the messages and moved forward with satisfaction.

The coral reef was half-destroyed by the last swing of the ice blade, revealing the ‘Contract’ clearly.

– The Constellation, ‘The Bowed Raven,’ twinkles its eyes.

– The Constellation, ‘The Bowed Raven,’ shakes its head, lamenting that it’s just a treasure subjected to trials.

The contract Seun found before his regression was the Contract of Earth.

The Contract of the Sea, which he found this time, had a different appearance but retained its specific form.

The incomprehensible letters engraved on the surface were still there…….

‘Wait.’

As he watched the contract, Seun’s eyes flickered for a moment.

He clearly couldn’t understand a single word before his regression, but it was different now.

He couldn’t read the entire content, but a few words caught his eye.

“Divine Words?”

That was the only new word Seun had learned before his regression.

– The Constellation, ‘The Bowed Raven,’ praises you for not being a complete illiterate who can’t even recognize what they’ve learned.

Seun calmly examined the contract.

Even if he could recognize them, Divine Words were on a different level from ordinary language systems.

It didn’t mean he could immediately interpret them just because he saw familiar words.

“Sea, pollution, cause…….”

He was still learning Divine Words from Mammon, but he was still unskilled.

And even just interpreting them like this consumed divinity.

If he had brightened the stigma with his pure power instead of borrowing the Nephilim’s power to get here, he would have been short on power.

“Did the beings of the land pollute the sea?”

He could see other familiar words here and there, but it was difficult to fully interpret.

Just as he was about to end the trial in the same way as before his regression.

“Who is it?”

He sensed someone’s presence behind him.

Instantly, Seun changed his stance and aimed Durandal [likely referring to Roland’s sword in the Matter of France] at the presence.

Being caught so accurately would usually cause someone to panic and rush out or run away, showing a desperate reaction.

“Ho, a being who can read the contract has appeared…….”

The entity walked out from behind the coral reef with great composure.

A turtle.

A bearded turtle stood on two legs like a human, leaning on a cane, approaching slowly.

“Ascetic. There’s no need to be so wary. I am merely an old man.”

Seun lowered the tip of his sword. He would maintain a minimum level of vigilance, but as the turtle said, he felt no combat power at all.

However, he didn’t seem ordinary.

The atmosphere he exuded was close to that of a sage.

“What’s going on?”

“I was simply admiring the fact that someone could recognize our ‘Contract’.”

“Do you know the contract well?”

“Of course. I am one of the contractors who have mostly disappeared now.”

“Contractor?”

“Exactly. I am a member of the group of sea representatives who created the ‘Contract’ you hold.”

Was there such an element on the 91st floor?

The contract Seun found before his regression was in the land, but there was no such being there.

Or, perhaps there was, but it didn’t appear.

Even the turtle in front of him only revealed its presence after Seun read the contract.

Until then, Seun hadn’t been able to detect its presence.

“Why did you reveal yourself?”

“There is a request I would like to make to the ascetic who read the contract.”

“A request?”

“It’s an area that you, ascetic, are capable of.”

It seemed he could listen and refuse, so he nodded for now.

The turtle smiled slightly and continued.

“First, let me tell you about the contract. It’s a long and tedious story close to history, but in short…….”

In fact, it was a tedious story.

The sea began to be polluted more and more.

Even though the creatures of the land and sea were not on good terms, the pollution reduced their habitats, leading the sea’s inhabitants to blame the land’s beings for the pollution.

Moreover, from some point on, the beings on the land excessively encroached on parts of the sea, such as mudflats and coasts.

As a result, the sea’s inhabitants considered the land as an enemy and made a ‘Contract’.

“A contract sworn to God. At the time…… I didn’t know this would become a curse.”

Conflict is not resolved by fighting.

It only deepens as they fight.

They killed and were killed, and they should have been exhausted, but they could not stop fighting due to the contract.

In the midst of this, the turtle before him was able to realize.

“It was all a misunderstanding. The beings on the land also made a ‘Contract’ with similar misconceptions as us.”

“Is it even possible to misunderstand so opportunely?”

“It was God’s manipulation. The manipulation of the God we swore to. God’s manipulation to grow his stagnant divinity in a peaceful era…….”

At that moment, Arcana came to Seun’s mind.

She was also one of the victims who had been harmed by God.

“So, what do you want?”

It was unfortunate, but there wasn’t much help Seun could give.

As a result of climbing the tower so far, the trials of the tower were merely transferring the time axis of dimensions that had already been destroyed or were being destroyed.

Even if Seun stopped the conflict, the trial would only return to its past state.

In the end, except for a few trials, there was no way to reverse this fixed time axis.

“There is one way.”

The turtle’s eyes twinkled as if reading Seun’s thoughts.

“If you gather the two contracts together and break them when they emit light, there is a high possibility that this curse will end.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m not sure. However, it is currently the most likely method.”

He didn’t know why they were placing hope on this.

Seun was lost in thought as he listened to the explanation.

He wondered if he should help them here.

“As you can see, there is nothing we can give you as a reward, but it will definitely be helpful to you, ascetic.”

“What kind of help will it be?”

“That contract is a medium promised to God. The contract you have accumulated so far has been transformed into divinity.”

“……Divinity.”

“Aren’t you walking the path towards God? If you have accumulated divinity so far, it will be of great help.”

Seun nodded.

Clearly, even just feeling it now, there was a considerable amount of divinity tied to this contract.

However, the problem was that he couldn’t obtain divinity just by breaking it.

According to the turtle, if he gathered the two contracts together and broke them when they emitted light, he could fully acquire that divinity.

‘It’s tempting.’

Seun was currently approaching God.

In such a situation, any method to gather even a little more divinity, which could be said to be the power of God itself, was welcome.

Besides, when he thought about it, it didn’t seem like a difficult method.

“I accept.”

“Thank you, ascetic.”

Seun rotated the circle and used a simple magic he had used during the tutorial.

Telepathy. A basic magic to communicate with the other party through mana.

Originally, it was a magic with a short effective range, but since Seun had reached the 9th circle, he could communicate with someone quite far away.

Moreover, the target he was using telepathy on now would have extremely high mana sensitivity, so they would feel his telepathy if possible.

“Kshallakhaas.”

Seun’s intention, conveyed through mana, passed through the sea and out onto the surface.

The mana, traveling through the air, soon reached the dragon located on the opposite side of the trial.

– Hmph, what’s going on. Didn’t we say that this trial is every man for himself?

A sulky tone. It seemed to be because Seun had left, saying that he had to overcome the trial with his own strength.

“Where are you now?”

– Of course, I have reached the end of the earth. No one can stop the dragon’s path.

As expected, Kshallakhaas.

It must have been difficult, but she had already reached the end of the earth.

It became easier than expected to fulfill the turtle’s conditions.

The problem was how to persuade that sulky dragon, but it was actually a simple problem.

“Let’s make a deal.”

– A deal?

“I’ll tell you the strategy for the 91st floor, so can you do me a favor?”

Although she had reached the end of the earth, she still didn’t know the strategy for the 91st floor.

She didn’t even know that there were contracts in both camps, let alone the strategy.

And Seun clearly remembered where the Contract of Earth was located from his memories before the regression.

As soon as he told her the contents of the contract, Kshallakhaas replied in a somewhat excited tone.

– Tell me quickly. I don’t like using my head.

“Good.”

Contract concluded.
