Eldritch Creature's Guide

Chapter 268  Divine Grimoire

After contemplating about it for some time, he decided to be a responsible young man and called his master to tell him what to do. Certainly, he couldn't keep the book with him with his meager strength.

This was an entirely different situation because "His" followers and worshippers hated the Outer Gods to their very own core and would stop at nothing to kill everyone even remotely related to them.

Keeping the Divine Grimoire was dangerous for current him; thus he planned to drop the responsibility for someone else; aside from this train of thought, hopefully, he could obtain some Contribution Points of the Hall of Kadath.

One of "His" Divine Grimoires was very precious, even for the Hall of Kadath.

Not wasting any more time, Samiel dialed on his Holo-Brain contact of his master, Menuhyutt Faulhaber, to discuss the situation about one of "His" Divine Grimoires that somehow ended up on the Lower Floors of the Tower.

Soon enough after Samiel dialed his master, the elderly visage of a familiar face appeared in the holographic projection. It appeared that the Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath was right now dealing with the paperwork.

Bane of every leader of every faction.

No matter what level of automatization or perfection of the administrative system someone achieved, the paperwork remained eternal and always prevailed victorious.

"So, what has happened, my dear pupil... you seem rather distressed?"

When he heard the soft voice of his master, he calmed down considerably because he got a feeling that everything would be alright.

"During my time on the 11th Floor, I came across something most peculiar and disturbing master. After our encounter with some lowly pirate crew, we managed to secure the most precious loot in the form of more than 100 Magic Tomes, among which were five Grimoires... one of them was a Divine Grimoire of Light belonging to 'Him'. If I should guess, it would be one of his Avatars... stronger ones."

Samiel then described the situation to his master as his smile faded almost in an instant and now his elderly face was dead serious. This was no small matter because getting one of 'His' Grimoires was most problematic.

"I am going down to pick it up."

After several minutes long silence, Hall Master Menuhyutt Faulhaber finally stated with a grave voice.

Hearing that, Samiel was surprised to say it mildly and shocked to say it realistically because he wouldn't think that this Divine Grimoire would force his master to act personally.

Instantly the call was cut and not even a moment later, Dimensional Crack appeared next to him, as his master directly descended down by creating a Dimensional Crack between the 98th Floor and 11th Floor of the Tower.

"Greetings, Master."

Samiel then stood up and gave his master a bow as the old man patted him on his shoulders.

"You have grown much stronger from the last time we met... but right now, we have more important things to take care of."

He then looked at the Divine Grimoire, which was lying among the other books and carefully went in front of it as he studied the outer appearance of the Divine Grimoire, scrutinizing and analyzing it from every aspect.

"Indeed, it should belong to one of 'His' main Avatars... how the hell it ended here. Still... it appears that it has active tracking latched to the book and it should be highly possible that right now, there should be some Paladins from the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light searching for it right now."

Samiel visibly cringed hearing that, but if the Paladins were only around the same Tiers and Levels as his own crew, then he would gladly meet them on the open seas in a clash for supremacy.

It would be a battle of two of the best Knigth Orders in the Material Plane of the Cosmos.

"I will be taking this with me."

Several Eldritch Runes appeared around the Divine Grimoire, which allowed Hall Master to pick it up safely. He was careful around this thing because it was dangerous; even someone as powerful as him could suffer greatly if he was not careful.

After Hall Master picked up and stored the book within a specially prepared Dimensional Storage exactly for situations like this.

"Do I get something for obtaining Divine Grimoire?"

Samiel looked at his master with that knowing, greedy look in his eyes as he was using every opportunity to gather any advantages and riches that he could. Naturally, Menuhyutt as his master, knew that his precious disciple always wanted to get the most out of any situation.

"You will get a few thousand Contribution Points for that...maybe something more, depending on my mood."

He nodded his head in satisfaction because getting a few thousand Contribution Points was better than he initially anticipated. Now, depending on the host, the Divine Grimoire would be used and if those uses brought additional benefits for the Hall of Kadath, Samiel will get even more rewards.

"Thank you very much, Hall Master."

Samiel gratefully bowed his head as he thanked his master before the elderly master disappeared from the 11th Floor through the same Dimensional Crack he used to descend down here.

"Finally, it is done and I instantly feel many times better."

Sighing in relief, he could finally turn his attention to other things.

He turned his attention to the Thorn Mystic Arte Grimoire as he started reading the Grimoire and learning the basics of the Mystic Arte, the Thorns. Actually, even though it seemed hard, it was actually pretty easy for Samiel to learn.

[User Samiel Zentaur has comprehended the basics of the Mystic Arte - Thorns.]

With the presence of a cheat like Level 4 Transcendental Ability Architect, he was able to learn the basics of the Mystic Arte effortlessly and even use it, as several small Thorns were conjured out of thin air and were enveloping Samiel's right hand like a snake choking its prey.

"Fascinating..."

Samiel muttered as he looked at the thorns coiling around his right hand...

He could feel that these ones were pretty powerful and if they struck even peak Steel-Tiers, they would be killed in one hit.

The density of the thorns he conjured should be comparable to average Rare-Grade Artifacts or strongest D-Grade Alloys, which was fascinating, as the thorns were biological in their nature even though they were conjured from his Mana.

The more he trained with the Thorn Mystic Arte, the quicker the proficiency was rising at lightning speed and it didn't take long before he reached 5% Proficiency with the said Mystic Arte.

"Now the only thing that remains is to Level Up an reach the higher Levels..."

Samiel stated as he was done with the Thorn Mystic Arte for the time being.
