Resurrected Immortal 63

Chapter 63 – 063. The Clash Between the Apostle and the Divine Beast (3)

“I thought you were going to send me magic from the beginning.”

When Eun-hyun released his hand from the gumiho’s arm, the gumiho hurriedly pulled out his own arm that had penetrated his abdomen.
Bright red blood was pouring from Eun-hyeon’s abdomen, but Eun-hyeon activated her own power without a single scream.

[Eunhyeon’s Unique Ability]
[Time Reversal]

The penetrating wound in the abdomen, making a large hole, returns to its original state as if nothing had happened.
The fact that Eun-hyeon acted as if the process was a very natural thing was so indifferent that it was inhumane, so the gumiho put on a spirited expression.
If he was a normal human being, he would have gone into a state of panic and screamed and rioted, but the man in front of him who was on the verge of death had an extremely calm attitude.
The way she gambled, even risking her own life if necessary, represented Eun-hyeon’s distorted personality very well.

“Crazy.”

“I won’t deny it, but because the world is crazy in the first place, there are people like me.”

The nine-tailed fox frowned at him saying something similar to what he had just said to two male students who were sons of aristocratic families.

“I ask you one more time. Won’t you be patient with destroying this country?”

“…”

The nine-tailed fox did not refuse Eun-hyeon’s request, saying the same thing as before the fight.
No, the expression that it could not be done was correct.
It was because I read Eun-hyeon’s memories and learned what kind of path he had walked and what thoughts he had.
Among them were memories of Erin being kidnapped by Ashton, and memories of being in a dilemma as to which to prioritize between coping with the devil and rescuing Erin, and memories of Eun-hyeon, who made up her mind after listening to Belldandi’s words.

“Revenge is not all about killing and taking everything.”

“But.”

“Shinsu-nim.”

“…”

“It is a very one-sided and selfish way to hold onto hatred and blame our descendants. Don’t get caught up in your anger and mistake someone for revenge.”

“The way… Is there really… ?”

“Yes.”

The nine-tailed fox recalled the past memories of being betrayed by humans and vowed never to trust humans again, but since he had already seen part of Eun-hyeon’s memories, he couldn’t imagine that he would betray him.
Eun-hyeon realized that she hadn’t deliberately stabbed her stomach and avoided the ability of energy drain in order to gain credit for herself.
He could have chosen to ignore the information in his memory and kill Eun-hyeon unilaterally.
To risk one’s own life for that was a truly incomprehensible way of thinking.

‘No, maybe it’s too stained with the mindset of the gods.’

In order to maintain the world, we abide by the rules and principles, and consider the death of living things that occur as a matter of course.
From the point of view of the gods, all living beings in the underworld will someday die and new lives will be conceived and cycled, so they don’t care much about how many humans die.
Just as humans kill a passing ant-like insect and nothing changes, just as humans raise livestock and eat them for food.
The gods also saw humans in the same way, and the most important thing was the maintenance of the underworld.
Aside from belonging to the category of human, as an intelligent being that exists in the underworld, a man named Eun-hyeon is amazing, respectful, and even pitiful.
That’s why it’s even more troubling.
The position of having the goal of killing all of the Pernias royal family, the position of having to prevent chaos in the kingdom, and the purpose of the nine-tailed fox and Eun-hyeon were contradictory to each other.

“I have a question.”

“Please speak.”

“As I looked through some of your memories, I felt a question. In all the things you have been involved in, living a life that is close to eternal life outside of human life span, there has not been a single incident in which you have intervened by your own will. They were all accompanied by a mission by God, and were forcibly intertwined and involved in the incident in the form of being caught up.”

Eunhyun didn’t answer anything.

“You, who did not intervene excessively in the human world, did not reveal his true identity, and did not step forward even though many people died and acted behind the scenes, why did you actively step forward and act to save only this child, the owner of this body? Is it?”

Throwing off the role as an ‘extra’ given by the goddess, we ask the fundamental cause of starting to show a completely different move than before.

“At the time, I thought it was right. Even if you are given the power to twist people’s destinies, the Goddess has said that you must not abuse that power.”

What you need to find are seeds with heroic talents.
It was Eun-hyeon’s role as an ‘extra’ to save them, grow them, and raise them into heroes who could protect the world.
He remembered that he had been strictly told when he was first appointed as an apostle that he must never do anything that would change the destiny of other humans.
That’s why Eunhyeon forcibly turned a blind eye to the deaths of many people and averted her eyes.
Even though he could have saved them, even though he wanted to, Eun-hyeon did not save them.
Because it was not his role to save them.
Because of that, she has received the resentment and hatred of many people.

“But now it’s a little different.”

“It has changed?”

“Because the goddess gave me ‘freedom’. You can do whatever you want, you can save the people you want, and you told me to prove that I am the ‘goddess’ apostle’ in the way I thought and wanted.”

I still don’t know why he said that now.
For the first time since becoming an apostle, I wondered why he hadn’t told me that from the beginning.
Even Eun-hyeon doesn’t know the gods’ intentions about this.

[Now, I hope you don’t make a choice that will leave you with regrets of blaming yourself and destroying yourself.]

However, since the words of her goddess were as warm and affectionate as those words, Eunhyeon believed Verdandi’s words and decided to act.

“My decision to save Erin is my first step. I will go as an apostle who only acts according to the method set by the gods, the first step to prove that the ‘destruction of the underworld’ can be prevented in my own way.”

“That…”

The gumiho’s eyebrows twitched.
It was because the remarks made by Eunhyeon were completely unacceptable as the words of an apostle serving God.

Coo woo woo

The building of the abandoned warehouse, which was in danger, eventually begins to collapse.
Even though it was a dangerous situation where the ceilings piled with large stones collapsed and fell to the floor, Eunhyeon and the nine-tailed fox stood still and stared at each other.

“I am. I want to prove it.”

Eunhyun looked up and stared at the bright moonlight shining through the collapsing ceiling.

“You are wrong.”

The nine-tailed fox could tell who Eunhyeon’s openly declaring words were addressed to.
The apostle who serves the gods spits out words that deny the ways of the gods.
And as if supporting Eun-hyeon’s choice, the nine-tailed fox looked at him with a spirited energy that kindly wrapped around him.

“Haha…”

The voice of the gumiho, who exhaled a small breath, gradually grew louder.

Haha!”

Hearing Eunhyeon’s words, the nine-tailed fox started laughing.

“It is interesting. Fun. An apostle of God who denies God’s ways. And it’s a spectacle that there is a God who supports it.”

The strong hatred for the first king of Fernias, which had been seething in her body before she knew it, had now cooled down, being replaced by the interest that filled her head.

“I don’t think it’s time yet.”

“What do you mean?”

“After hearing your story, I lost my desire to take revenge right away. Now… I have a feeling that I don’t want to die yet. I want to see the future that you and this child will walk on.”

After hearing the words of the gumiho, Eunhyeon smiled happily and bowed her head to thank them.

“But I want you to promise me this one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Didn’t you say that revenge isn’t all about killing and stealing everything?”

“Yes.”

“Then, that other way of revenge that can satisfy me. Is it possible for you?”

“I’ll do my best to prepare a situation where I can feed Ortas some shit.”

“Huh, I really like that one answer. I look forward to it.”

Eunhyun’s answer must have been satisfactory, so the gumiho smiled.
However, the gumiho did not believe that everything Eunhyeon told him was the truth.
The fragments of his memories were correct, and the memories he had experienced, which he could not manipulate, were correct, but there was doubt about Eun-hyeon’s actions, which were deliberately staged to show the scene.
He could only guess that there was a lie mixed in, but the nine-tailed fox didn’t feel as bad about Eun-hyeon’s lie as he thought.
After being betrayed by Ortas, he completely abandoned his faith in humans, but the man named Eun-hyeon was a mysterious being to the point that he wanted to trust him one more time.

“Good night. Now let me fall for your lies. It seems that it will lead to a worse situation for Ortas’ bastard.”

“Thank you.”

“Now… What are you going to do?”

The nine-tailed fox glanced at Eunhyeon’s emaciated body.
The penetrating wound that had been punctured in her abdomen by her own attack was restored as if it never existed in the first place, but Eun-hyeon’s physical strength and mana, which had been absorbed by her ‘energy drain’, were not restored.
In general, if you absorb physical strength and mana close to the limit with energy drain, you will not be able to wake up for a long time in a stunned state.
However, Eun-hyeon, despite her weakened condition, stood firm and held on, talking with the nine-tailed fox.
Seeing the state of Eun-hyeon, who was enduring with surprisingly strong mental strength, the gumiho thought it was amazing.

“Now we have to find the real culprit who led the situation this way.”

“Are you talking about the devil who brainwashed that man named Ashton?”

“Did you know?”

“I took a peek at some of his memories while absorbing his mana. Except for this child. He had a great hatred for you too. It seems the devil instigated it.”

Although the succubus and the nine-tailed fox were different in birth and origin, they had one thing in common: they seduced humans and extorted their energy.
Although the succubus is inferior to the nine-tailed fox, it has an ability similar to ‘energy drain’, so I recalled that Ashton and the victims attacked by the succubus devil were showing similar symptoms.

“I guess you can use this.”

“Use?”

“Shinsu-nim.”

“Call me Miho. It is my name that has been called since the civilization of Earth.”

“Miho. Can Erin use some of the awakened Miho’s abilities?”

“If you practice, it will be possible. It would have been impossible if it had been before, but at the same time as my awakening, I received a huge amount of magical power from you… Could this be what you were aiming for?”

Eunhyun smiled without answering Miho’s question.

“Great.”

“Nothing was explained.”

Eunhyun glanced behind her and spoke to Miho in a small voice.

“Please go in first.”

“Take good care of this child. I came out of frustration and anger, but I was a child who only thought of you until I took over. The consequences of this action are my responsibility, not the child’s.”

“I know that. You will not be disappointed or angry. I still have a lot of expectations from Erin.”

As Miho closed her eyes, the glowing blue magic that surrounded her gradually began to enter her body.
The nine plentiful tails and the ears of the beasts on top of the head gradually faded and disappeared, returning to the state of Erinn, the original body.
The school uniform and stockings were torn here and there and all in disrepair.
The wounds on her body were completely healed as she was awakened as a nine-tailed fox, but her clothes were not restored.
With her eyes closed, Erin’s body tilted toward Eun-hyeon, her mind not returning.
Eun-hyeon carefully embraced Erin’s tilted body and moved her steps to escape her collapsed ruins.

“Don’t move!”

One knight shouted with all his might, drew her sword from her waist and aimed it at Eunhyeon.
Five or six knights running after him all looked nervous.
Eun-hyeon could see that these were the knights who ran after receiving a report from Villar and Grass, who immediately ran away with Ashton on their shoulders.
One thing that was unexpected was that the insignia on their chests was not the insignia of ‘Artia’ led by Riod, but the insignia of ‘Krasir’, the Royal Guard Order.

‘They moved directly from the royal family?’

While Eun-hyeon was lost in her thoughts, one of the knights of Krasir, who was in confrontation with Eun-hyeon, shouted at Eun-hyeon.

“The girl is now a prime suspect in the serial raids of Pernin’s aristocrats. Gently over us…”

“I will surrender.”

“Uh?”

“Eh?”

“What?”

At Eunhyeon’s sudden words, the other knights put on a dumbfounded expression as if they hadn’t expected it.
After quickly organizing her thoughts, Eunhyun’s judgment was swift.
Embarrassed and embarrassed, Eunhyeon didn’t care about their embarrassment and continued to open her mouth.

“I can’t make a gesture of surrender because I don’t have an empty hand to lift. I will surrender.”

“Yo, the suspect told us…”

When a knight tried to hide his embarrassment and tried to steal Erin from Eunhyeon, Eunhyeon twisted his back to prevent the knight from touching her.

“My child, don’t touch me.”

“What? What is this madman…”

“I will take you. Please let me imprison you as well.”

“Under…”

As if he wanted to see all the absurd guys who lived and lived, the knight looked at Eun-hyeon with the expression, ‘What is this bird?’.
