FULL NOVELXO Chapter 637 Treasury
After Vale shattered the capital's barrier with his dragon form, he used his Transformation Art again; this time, he morphed into an ordinary citizen who had sneaked into the city with his Presence Shift Spell.contemporary romance
He dashed towards the palace, and with his Rune Analysis Spell and Presence Shift Spell, he dodged any kind of Rune Traps.
Well, he could easily decipher how these Runes worked with such a spell in his arsenal.
Furthermore, he didn't want to use his brute force since his presence would be exposed, which was something he avoided.
As he kept doing this for a few more minutes, he finally reached the Treasury's gate. It was guarded by two guards, but he chose to knock them out by choking them with his Darkness Manipulation Spell.
His Rune Analysis Spell noticed that once their hearts stopped beating, a strange Magic Circle would activate.
He had no idea what Magic Circle it was, so it was better to avoid it.
'This gate…'
Vale frowned as he stepped closer to Treasury's iron gate. It was a massive and imposing gate, that was engraved with intricate symbols and patterns.
Since it contained treasures, he certainly knew that it would not be easy to open.
The gate had powerful Formation Art that relied on multiple Magic Circles and precious items that wouldn't just defend from intruders but also attack them!
'It's quite similar with the barrier, huh…' Vale mused as he also liked this kind of defense mechanism. If possible, he wanted to apply it in his castle.
Although he managed to destroy the city's barrier, it obviously earned his respect, as it wasn't easy to accomplish that.
This gate also had a formidable defense that could resist any forceful method of intrusion.
Of course, Vale was not deterred by the gate.
He activated his Divine Extraction System as soon as he touched the gate.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Yes!"

As he extracted the energy from the iron gate, he saw the symbols and patterns start to fade, and even the embedded crystals and stones lose their power.
Soon, he saw the gate become a normal iron gate, and its previous defense became useless.
'So there's really no chance of getting the Magic Circles…' Vale wryly smiled after seeing the result.
Nevertheless, this wasn't the time to think about it as he opened his Grimoire to summon his Moonlight Fairy to open the gate!
"What? You're calling to do such a simple task?! Ugh… I guess it's better than hiding from those demons…" The Moonlight Fairy couldn't help but complain as she heard Vale's instruction.
But as she recalled living in hiding because the Abyss Realm invaded the Fairy Realm, she immediately shook her head, believing this was undoubtedly better.
"The iron gate is too heavy… I can't open it. I need—" Before she could even finish her words, Vale had already taken out a flowerpot with a beautiful red rose.
The Moonlight Fairy no longer spoke as her eyes turned black and controlled the rose… Like a druid that Vale had seen before, the fairy manipulated the rose as it grew larger and twisted around…
Soon, it pushed open the iron gate with ease!
Creaaak~
"I'm done here… There are no traps at the entrance. As for the treasures inside, some of them are probably cursed. Be careful, don't touch them carelessly." The Moonlight Fairy reminded.
After Vale expressed his gratitude, he unsummoned the fairy and stored away his Grimoire.
As he entered the Treasury, he was greeted by a sight that made his eyes widen, and his heart race.
He saw the treasures of the kingdom, and the wealth of the king.
'As expected, they didn't bother evacuating their treasures… They must've been sure of their victory.' Vale commented in his mind.
He saw piles of gold coins, and stacks of jewels. On its side were shelves filled with chests of silver bars, and bags of pearls. He even saw several crowns decorated with precious stones.
There were also rings of rubies, necklaces of emeralds, and bracelets of sapphires. It seemed as if there was some sort of tradition behind these pieces of jewelry, but Vale didn't care about it for now.
Although he also wanted them, he was more interested in the Magic Artifacts or anything related to the Arcanist World.
He immediately tried searching for them, but because of the unusual energy within the Treasury, searching items through a single scan of Magic Zone or Spells was a bit too difficult.
'Let's check these items first…' Vale thought as his eyes shifted to the items.
He saw weapons of all kinds and armor of all shapes. Behind them were swords and shields with Runic Symbols.
Finally, he found traces of Magic Artifacts!
As he continued searching, he saw artifacts of all sorts... There were staffs, wands, potions, and scrolls!
Vale was hoping that these scrolls contained Spell Models! It would even be better if they were Celestial Arts!
As he continued searching, he found crates of Immortal Shards, and at their center, there seemed to be a simple mask that could only cover the eyes…
Aside from that, he saw a mysterious ownerless Grimoire.
He was amazed and excited as he saw the mask and the Grimoire.
He could feel that these were the most valuable items in the Treasury, and that they were his main targets.
Well, he didn't plan to betray Marquis Morgan... He only wanted to take at least a third or maybe half of the treasure here.
After all, the Marquis still has to rebuild the kingdom. This nation might be in a greater mess if he doesn't have the money to reorganize the kingdom.
As soon as Vale made up his mind, he activated the Space Ring that he borrowed from Faith…
