Chapter 389 – 389. Ancient Witchbeast (4)
A high-ranking spirit in the form of Sylvia, a female elf with whom he had a deep connection in the past.
Eunhyeon looked at the higher-level spirit and figured out what was going on.
“… Okay. You have been reincarnated.”
Among the elves who face the end of death and return to nature, there are very rare cases of being reincarnated as spirits.
It was an extremely rare case that Eunhyeon had only heard of her words and had never actually seen her.
Turning her head, Sylvia’s eyes met Eunhyeon’s.
[… !]
Sylvia, who shook her shoulders and flinched, reflexively turned her head away from her gaze.
She looked at Regina, the elven queen who summoned her to this place by making a contract with her, and questioned her with a resentful expression.
“How long are you going to hide like that?”
Regina smiled and persuaded Sylvia.
“No matter what, you have to finish properly.”
“… Yes.”
After hearing Regina’s story, Eunhyun nodded her head slightly.
Then she shifted her gaze into the air and spoke to Sylvia.
“Sylvia.”
[Huh…]
‘You don’t call me sister anymore…’
Sylvia felt a bit regretful, but her time had passed more than 300 years since she died.
Eunhyeon was older now, so she couldn’t say anything, so she nodded her head while hiding her regretful expression as much as possible.
“Later. Let’s talk after this fight. Don’t run away properly.”
[Ah Okay…]
In a conversation that was held again after 300 years, Sylvia answered with her hesitant attitude.
She reunited again in an unexpected form, promising her past ties and the next, and Eun-hyeon looked at the ancient magic beasts approaching this place again.
The very old Hae-hoo has to deal with all the enemies in front of her eyes and let go while laughing.
“Illyana. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
[Eunhyeon’s Unique Ability]
[Time Acceleration]
[Four-digit sub-magic]
[Fly]
With Illyana sitting on top of a staff floating in the air, Eunhyun quickly left the barrier.
While rushing in a straight line toward the gorgon, the strong wind resistance caused their hair to flutter.
“Is that spirit just that elf?”
“…”
Even in the midst of the noise of the wind cutting, Illyana’s question clearly pierced Eunhyeon’s ears.
Even though she heard the question clearly, Eun-hyeon was unable to answer.
When she told her current wife the story of the ex-wife she lived with in the past, Ni and Eun-hyeon’s feelings were very complicated.
“What are you waiting for?”
“No, that…”
“I know. That he was an elf who had a relationship with you.”
“…”
Illyana, who had heard about Eunhyeon’s past from staying in the elven forest from Belldandi, naturally knew the story about Sylvia as well.
“Did you like it?”
“… I liked it.”
As she ran towards the beast, Eunhyun honestly answered her Illyana’s question.
It is the conclusion that it is better for her to express her feelings honestly than to lie to her.
“Was that love?”
“… I do not know.”
Eunhyun made a complicated expression.
There is no doubt that Sylvia was a special woman to her.
But when asked if it was the feeling of affection she thought of as the opposite sex, she could not easily conclude.
Was it love or was it friendship?
Ambiguous feelings that stood on the border.
She realized what it was, and before she could draw conclusions, she lost it.
She ran away nearly 300 years from that and reached the present.
Even though she thought she had made up her own mind, what lingers in her heart is confusion.
Plus, having to tell these stories in front of her current wife is even more disturbing.
“Illyana. I am…”
“Are you okay.”
“What?”
“I have no intention of saying anything about your complicated past.”
Illyana knew very well the weight of the time Eunhyeon had gone through for 400 years.
I never thought that he would cross the line with special feelings for another woman in the past.
If that was the case, she couldn’t have been pushed away mentally by Eun-hyeon.
“Once you deal with that demon, finish it properly and come. Properly… I can take care of everything if you come back to me without any problems.”
“…”
The weight of Illyana’s consideration and determination to not leave her once again and to say that everything will be fine as long as she properly returns to her side is by no means small.
“Your love is heavy…”
Illyana’s heart, which shows her unconditional and expedient trust and affection for herself, is always grateful, sorry, and burdensome.
“Joy. Just this much?”
At the words of Illyana, who snorted and laughed at her, Eunhyun smiled bitterly and continued running across the plains.
[She doesn’t mean that she respects the child as much as she does.]
Besides, hearing the love of Belldandy who defended her even her young words, I had nothing more to say.
“First of all, before ending the relationship with your old woman, you have to deal with that beast, right?”
“You seem to have thorns in your expression?”
“Then, why don’t you keep your mouth shut?”
“… It’s scary just like that.”
She smiled and said things in a playful way, but Eun-hyeon knew very well that if she really started to pout once and got her tantrum, she would have to put in a lot of effort to loosen herself up.
In the end, she decided to focus on dealing with the demon in front of her as Illyana recommended.
“Illyana, can you cast more spells?”
It is said that she canceled the reflective barrier that offset the petrifying rays, but the barrier that blocks the hydra’s poison is still in place.
Furthermore, for Illyana, who maintains her airborne magic in real time, the amount of magical energy consumed is also the same, but what is more burdensome is the mental power applied to her head.
“Of course.”
“She is also my wife.”
“Even if I tried to float it, it was too late.”
But Eunhyeon’s words didn’t make me feel that bad.
“Be careful.”
“Who are you talking about? Be careful too.”
In the capture of Gorgon, it was Eunhyeon, not Illyana, who had to take the greater risk.
“Okay. Then let’s begin.”
The distance between Eunhyeon and the Gorgon rushing forward was only 500m.
Kyaaah!
The Gorgon, discovering Eun-hyeon’s figure, let out a ferocious roar.
The thousands and tens of thousands of Gorgons that attacked him were all the heads of living snakes.
Eunhyeon used her authority.
[God’s key to reproduce history]
[Summon, Moraltak and Baraltak]
The two twin swords held in both hands began to emit a silver divine light, imbued with Eunhyeon’s divine power.
The reenacted history is a terrifying two-handed twin sword said to have been used by an ancient hero.
There is a powerful story that the twin swords, which have a history of one-hit and one-hit sure victory, brought victory to the user and defeat to the opponent simply by pulling them out.
‘Although this is subject to the condition that the other party is a conflict between humans.’
Still, it is suitable for arranging Gorgon’s snake hair, and there is no weapon as useful as this dual sword that is comfortable to use.
Squeak.
When he swings his sword, the snake’s head that falls to the floor in vain means that it means absurd cutting power.
[Eunhyeon’s Unique Ability]
[Accident acceleration]
Eunhyun’s unique fighting method that raises the ability of accident handling to the limit, recognizing all surrounding objects through sensing, what to attack, how to block and avoid, and so on.
In order to bite itself, it exposes its sharp teeth and moves forward while slicing through the attacking snakes one by one.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Illusion sword dance]
The number of snake hairs cut with the sword quickly exceeded 10, and was called 40, 160, and 640.
Kirik!?
Even the Gorgon felt strange belatedly and shivered.
For even as he cut off all of his hair, he felt a chill when he found a human pupil staring straight at him from a distance.
Dangerous.
That’s dangerous
One of the creatures that he had trampled on countless times.
The existence of a higher level entity that can kill itself, not a helpless creature that is mere insignificance.
The Gorgon subconsciously concluded that it was a dangerous existence that would ring the alarm bells of its survival instinct as a Witchbeast, and felt a chilling fear.
Kyaaaaagh!
In an attempt to mask the fear that bloomed in his chest, the Gorgon roared even more and sent more snake hairs to oppress him.
Squeak
However, Eun-hyeon cut off all the snakes and continued to respond flexibly without getting hurt.
The spectacle of avoiding the teeth of thousands of snakes attacking from all directions, stabbing their heads, and slashing their bodies is a continuation of an endless flow that does not exist.
Feeling the snakes in Eunhyeon’s hair helplessly being cut off without leaving a single wound on Eunhyeon’s body, the Gorgon felt even more impatient.
Kyaaah!
As the hairs of snakes, which surrounded Eunhyeon in all directions and rushed to bite her whole body, retreated, the dark red magical light once again condensed in the eyes of her ugly face.
It was the ray of light from the ‘Evil Eye of Petrification’ that was fired at the forest earlier.
Seeing the beam of light shot towards her, Eunhyeon immediately took out the shield of God.
[God’s Arms]
[Aegis]
The shield of God bestowed by Minerva, one of the seven goddesses, was shaped in front of him.
Kwaaang!
An intense roar created when the petrification beam collided with the Aegis.
The heavy impact brought about by the destructive power of the light beam was such that the arm supporting the Aegis was pushed back.
He didn’t think that Aegis would lose, but Eun-hyeon injected more of his divine power to further boost Aegis’ defense.
Eunhyun’s role in the capture of the Gorgon is to ‘endure’.
Eun-hyeon’s goal is not to just hold on, but to create a gap by focusing all of the Gorgon’s gaze on herself and making her focus on herself.
While she was hogging all of Gorgon’s nerves in front of her, Illyana was preparing step by step behind Eunhyun from a distance.
So, in a way that didn’t match her usual style, she ignorantly released a large amount of energy from her body, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of snake hairs, and faced the Gorgon’s gaze.
The petrifying rays fired by the Gorgon finally bounced off into the air without penetrating the Aegis.
Due to the collision of the petrification beam and the aegis, the plains were covered in a swirling dust of sand.
Kirik?
The gorgon hurriedly manipulated the snakes to clear away all the winds of dust that covered the front, but the silvery-white haired human, who had exuded an enormous presence and resonated strongly with the beast’s instinct for survival, was nowhere to be seen.
Gorgon belatedly noticed a huge shadow on the plain floor in front of him, noticed that something was blocking the sun, and looked up into the air.
Key, Kirik!?
What Gorgon’s eyes caught was a giant ice awl floating in the air.
An absurd mass made of transparent ice that allows you to see the inside clearly.
A series of bloody sounds as if spinning fiercely in a sundial direction and grinding the wind.
[Six digit top magic]
[Frozen Spiral]
And next to the ice pick, sitting coquettishly with her legs crossed on a staff floating in the air, the black-haired witch looked down at the Gorgon with an emotionless gaze.
“It’s too late to notice now.”
Perfect
After condensing all the moisture in the air and freezing it, the completed giant spiral ice pick falls to the floor.
