Chapter 62 – 062. The Clash Between the Apostle and the Divine Beast (2)
The white ghosts were not able to capture the movement of Eun-hyeon, who increased the acceleration rate more than usual.
Nevertheless, a fierce one-on-eight battle continued, and a tightrope-walking continuation continued, blocking, flowing, and avoiding the onslaught of the four white demons in the vanguard.
Through
I hit the sword at the head of the spearman Baek-Gwi, who showed an opening.
Barely able to catch the movement, the spearman Baekgui raised his spearhead to protect his head.
Eunhyeon’s sword, which had been strengthened by instantly raising its magic power, split Baekgwi’s body into two with the sharpened cutting power along with the spearhead of Baekgwi.
Previously, he showed tremendous strength, but on the contrary, he was caught off guard by a remarkably slow movement and, when adding the battle axe Hundred Ghosts, which were severed in two by his waist, it was like taking down all three Hundred Ghosts.
“Whoa…”
Even though there were still six ghosts left to deal with, sweat was pouring down Eunhyeon’s body like rain.
The side effects of the higher-than-usual acceleration multiplier began to appear.
There was no way that Eunhyun’s momentum, which moved on a different axis of time than other humans, was the same as that of an ordinary human.
As such, the discharge of his stamina was coming earlier than expected.
The process of the chicken game was gradually approaching Eun-hyeon in a disadvantageous form.
The more he did, the more Eunhyeon calmly and calmly thought and moved his body.
The White Ghosts also knew that he was overdoing it, taking the burden off his body more than expected, so it would be a natural result for the White Ghosts to become advantageous if they took even a little time.
‘I shouldn’t be impatient at all.’
Knowing that they were targeting and inducing Eun-hyeon to do more, Eun-hyeon was trying to clear his mind and keep a calm mind.
But despite this, he couldn’t breathe properly and his body, overloaded with excessive exercise, didn’t listen to him, and his beating heart circulated blood throughout his body.
[Hey…]
The fact that Eunhyeon’s discharge came earlier than expected and that the situation was in danger was easily recognizable even to Belldandi, who was unfamiliar with fighting.
Belldandy, who could only watch the situation, was anxiously calling out to Eun-hyeon and fiddling with his fingers, unable to hide his nervousness.
Thinking that Belldandi’s worries were not like a goddess, Eunhyeon involuntarily smiled.
‘Do not worry. Because I am the goddess’ apostle.’
Your apostle is not just like this.
That was what Eunhyeon said to herself as well.
Belldandi supported herself by showing her infinite trust and affection with no end in sight.
Therefore, shouldn’t he also act as an apostle worthy of it?
[It’s wonderful.]
Perhaps she was happy with Eunhyun’s thoughts, Belldandy smiled.
He wanted to stroke his head and hug him right away, but he held back because he had no intention of blunting Eun-hyeon’s senses during the bloody battle.
Unaware of Belldandy’s joyous heart, Eunhyeon stared at the remaining six ghosts.
Dealing with the assassin was an act close to a surprise attack in a sudden change, so it was close to a fluke, and the battle ax warrior and spearman Baek-gwi were more like dull beings who couldn’t catch Eun-hyeon’s movements compared to other Baek-gwi. There was.
Starting with the assassin, who had the highest agility among the nine, being attacked, the three swordsmen, swordsman, and archer were able to catch at least the afterimage of Eun-hyeon’s movement.
In this way, only the three White Ghosts were the only ones, and Eunhyeon and the White Ghosts, everyone knew that fact.
And Eunhyeon was able to know one fact as she watched the hundred ghosts form formation.
That among them, there is a higher-ranking Hundred Ghosts that give orders to the other Hundred Ghosts.
Just as Eun-hyeon took on the role of order and gave instructions to the party members in the expedition to the Archis labyrinth led by Princess Yuria and Alex.
There is an existence that gives instructions such as planning tactics, changing formations, and timing attacks.
If only the hundred ghosts in charge of the order were dealt with.
‘After that, I win.’
Sweeping through the confusion that comes from the absence of a chain of command, we deal with the remaining ghosts.
Eunhyun’s plan was like that.
I could immediately figure out who the White Ghost was in charge of the order.
Judging from the nature of using the formation and tactics of the party that is close to standard, there was a Baekgwi who could very simply join either front or rear guard at the center of the formation and observed Eun-hyeon’s actions without ever attacking him. .
He stared at the swordsman Baek-Gwi, who was in the position of lieutenant, holding a long sword in his hand.
Prosecutor Baek-Gwi stared at Eun-Hyun without taking any action, but read his eyes and saw through what Eun-Hyeon was thinking.
Prosecutor Baek-Gwi raised his hand and stared at Eun-Hyeon in front of him, starting to make an attack signal gesture.
As if waiting for the signal to resume the battle, a javelin flew towards Eunhyeon’s head.
The power of the javelin with its enormous mass and speed was like that of a huge cannonball.
Accurately cutting through the flying spear, taking advantage of the gap, the swordsman Baek-Gwi’s sword rushed towards Eun-hyeon.
His speed was similar to that of Baek-gwi, the three swordsmen who first attacked Eun-hyeon, but the quality and level of each attack was incomparably sharper.
Eun-hyeon was sure that her guess that this swordsman Baek-gwi was the commander Baek-gwi who led the Baek-gwi of ‘Baek-gwi Night Trip’ was correct.
Blasphemy!
Finally, the long sword in Eun-hyeon’s left hand, which had been struggling to withstand the onslaught of several hundred demons, began to crack and then crumbled at the end of its lifespan.
There was no way the white ghosts would miss that gap.
The three swordsman Baek-gwi, who dug into Eun-hyeon’s left arm, intruded between Eun-hyeon and the swordsman Baek-gwi-i, and penetrated into Eun-hyeon’s chest to pierce Eun-hyeon’s neck, but Eun-hyeon also made the standard decision that he would come in aiming for the moment when his weapon’s lifespan was over. I wasn’t surprised because I was expecting it.
Rotating the broken longsword one full turn and holding it in reverse, he slashed the sword that came in to pierce his neck, twisting the trajectory of the attack.
The sharp sword, which was aimed precisely at the neck, was pierced through the air by Eun-hyeon, not at the neck but at Eun-hyeon’s right cheek.
As it was, the longsword held in Eun-hyeon’s right hand was deeply inserted into the abdomen of the three swordsmen Baek-gwi, which had become closely attached to Eun-hyeon’s body, and cut it to the right, killing the fourth baek-gwi.
‘Finally about half.’
He counted the numbers and thought to himself, but he told himself that he couldn’t afford to continue such a thought, and turned his gaze toward the direction where the remaining hundred demons were.
“Doesn’t exist?”
In fact, Eun-hyeon knew everything about how it happened.
Because I knew that my opponent would come in if I had to do such a realistic performance.
Eunhyun put on a really embarrassed expression.
[Oh! That… !]
After reading his thoughts, Belldandy hardened his expression and tried to scold Eunhyeon.
Fu-wook!
The opponent’s actions were faster than Belldandi’s admonition.
“Cool!”
[Oh!]
Along with Belldandy’s alarmed voice, and a hand piercing Eun-hyeon’s abdomen from behind, Eun-hyeon vomited blood.
Behind him is the face of a very familiar yet very beautiful girl.
With a sad expression on the girl’s face.
“That’s great.”
Gumiho muttered.
“No matter how much he is an apostle, his movement, power, and judgment. You have crossed the limits of humanity.”
The gumiho was meekly admiring it.
Although it is said that it is weakened and cannot exert even one-tenth of its original strength, Eun-hyeon’s bravery in not being pushed back against the nine white ghosts of her own must have been highly praised.
But that’s why I felt so sad.
It was a race that once served humans and fought together to protect this world that had gone mad, but I felt so sorry and regretful that I had to make death with my own hands like this.
“I will gladly receive the karma for killing you later. After tearing and killing all the bloodlines of the bastard who founded this country. I’ll follow you upstairs too. So now… Give me your strength.”
After saying that, the gumiho used his ability.
[Nine-tailed fox’s unique ability]
[Energy Drain]
At the same time as the ability is activated, the enormous mana and vitality inherent in Eun-hyeon’s body begin to be sucked in.
‘This…’
The gumiho didn’t say anything, but inside he was surprised.
No matter how much he was an apostle, it was because the amount of mana that one human being could possibly possess was not.
If he absorbed all of this mana, he could recover half of it, if not half.
That was enough to destroy a country.
‘What the hell is this guy… ?’
Curious about Eun-hyeon’s identity, the nine-tailed fox peeked at Eun-hyeon’s profile and hardened his expression.
“Smile?”
It was because Eunhyun was smiling.
It was a situation where his stomach was pierced and his vitality and mana were being sucked out, but Eun-hyeon did not erase his laughter even as blood flowed from his mouth, wondering what was good.
“You guys… Was this your purpose?”
Come to think of it, strange things began to sprout in the nine-tailed fox’s head one by one.
Considering his physical abilities, the nine-tailed fox’s physical abilities are far behind those of his summoned beasts, ‘Baekgwi Night’.
However, did Eun-hyeon, who had not been pushed back by competing on an equal footing with her own ‘Baekgwi Night’ in a one-to-many fight, really not noticing the attack that was aimed at her back?
‘It can’t be.’
Sensing that something was going wrong, the gumiho hurriedly tried to pull out his hand that had penetrated Eunhyeon’s abdomen.
“Where are you going?”
Eun-hyeon held onto the arm of the nine-tailed fox that had pierced his abdomen and refused to let go.
“You’ve been doing it, are you going to do it?”
“Oh… !”
It was impossible for the nine-tailed fox to stop on its own unless the ‘energy drain’ that had already been activated had not been disconnected.
If the ‘energy drain’ stops, it implies that the subject is already dead.
“What the hell are you thinking… ! Ugh?!”
As Eun-hyeon’s vast amount of mana flows into Erin’s body possessed by the nine-tailed fox, fragments of Eun-hyeon’s memories come together.
[Hey. I’ll tell you one more time, but you don’t have to accept it if you don’t like it.]
[I, among the three Norn goddesses, give Eun-hyeon, who will become an apostle in the name of Belldandi, the power of ‘time manipulation’ to edit the ‘present’.]
[Sorry. Sorry. Someday… It’s fine if you resent me.]
[Hyunah. Are you okay. Even if I die like this, I will never resent you.]
[After all, I’ve never had a drink with you until I died like this. Our Hongi… I’m counting on you.]
[Doesn’t care! Never break down! Just think about killing that bastard! It must never collapse!]
[Do not forget. Because you are my only hope I found in this crazy world.]
[Run away! Never get caught! Survive till the end! My baby! Please protect me!]
[Now don’t go anywhere again! This new X!]
“Eww… Ugh!”
The nine-tailed fox began to feel confused by the countless information of memories coming into his head.
Regardless of her confusion, her ability continues to absorb Eun-hyeon’s magical power, and at the same time, fragments of Eun-hyeon’s memories continue to flow in.
[What… What the hell are you!]
[Monster bastard!]
[Why… Why the hell didn’t you save her sister!]
[If this is the case… She should not have saved her!]
[I really hate people like you.]
[Die. Monster.]
[Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you.]
Countless karma that cannot be thought of as being contained in a human body and soul.
Countless good intentions such as countless expectations, aspirations, respect, longing, and sympathy sent to a human being.
And countless malice pouring out the opposite emotions of hatred, despair, fear, and madness.
“This… What…”
Gumiho, who slowly raised his head and looked into some of the people in the man’s life who was making a calm expression, couldn’t believe that the man with silver hair in front of him was human.
“You… What is it?”
Eunhyun did not answer.
The longer the silence, the more nervous the nine-tailed fox was.
“How can such a harsh journey exist! How on earth can a mere human carry such a vast amount of karma and still not go crazy… Ah.”
After reading the last memory, the gumiho gave a small sigh.
[I will only pursue the happiness of the child, I will think of the future only for the child, and I will never care about the existence of other humans, no matter what damage it may cause.]
[Now, I hope you don’t make a choice that will leave you with regrets of blaming yourself and destroying yourself.]
[How long… I will be with you.]
Unconsciously, the nine-tailed fox gazed into the air, feeling divine power.
Ordinary people would not be able to sense the existence of ‘God’, but since he was a nine-tailed fox who had reached the level of ‘half-god’, he was able to notice her existence.
In order not to go crazy even if you carry countless karma on your back, you notice the existence of a ‘god’ who walks the path together in the same space, not watching over you from above.
It is by the man’s side.
Not a ‘God’ who treats and cares for all humans equally, but a ‘God’ who cares for and protects only one human being, a being who desperately comforts and restores a broken human soul.
‘Goddess protection for only one person’ was wrapped around the man.
