Chapter 244 – #245 Fox Hunt (1)
#245 Fox Hunt(1)
Meanwhile, at that time, Sanctuary Inc.
“Mr. Ellie, do you have a guest?”
“A guest?”
Ellie, or rather Ellis, who was checking Gina’s schedule as an attendant, raised her head at the words of her co-worker.
“…”
“It’s been a while.”
When she saw the woman who came to her, she stiffened.
“Can I talk to you for a minute?”
“… Yes.”
Alice, stiff as a rat before her serpent, followed her woman. It had to be.
Because her woman who came to her was-
“…How did you know this place, mother?”
-Because Alice’s mother, Lisanna Gwen.
Lisanna opened her mouth as she looked at Ellis with a cold gaze that she couldn’t believe was her daughter.
“I haven’t seen you in a few days, so you’ve become spoiled. I’ll have to start with etiquette training again when I get home.”
“…”
Alice’s breathing became rough. To her, her mother was more terrifying than a tyrant.
“I’m not going back home…”
“Don’t talk nonsense like that. Haven’t you played enough? If you’ve played that much, you’ll be satisfied.”
In the past, she couldn’t have disobeyed her mother. Because she’s been educated that way.
However, while living with her boyfriend, she had a freedom she had never had before.
“… No, I do not want.”
“What?”
“I’m not going back home.”
“…”
Having enjoyed her freedom, Elise was no longer a good obedient child. For the first time in her life she rebelled against her mother.
Lisanna, who was glaring at Alice with her cold eyes, let out a sigh.
“I left it to surprise you for a moment before the ceremony, and it turned out to be a complete foal.”
“What…? Did you leave it alone?”
“Did you really think we wouldn’t know where you were? How foolish. Being a member of the Gwen family, we don’t know the true power of the Gwen family. We know your every move.”
“…”
“Don’t talk nonsense, come home tomorrow. If you disobey me, the man you love so much to die will experience terrible things.”
Ironically, Lisanna’s warning relieved Elise’s tension. She laughed at her mother’s warning.
“Smile?”
“Mother doesn’t know much about her brother yet. Give it a try. You’ll see who will experience terrible things.”
“Ha… I’ll have to repair everything from start to finish. It’s broken very firmly.”
“I’m not broken…”
“A man in heat, no, if you believe in steel armor and mess around like that, do it in moderation.”
“…!”
Alice, furious at her words that she was broken, widened her eyes at Lisanna’s words. Do you know that Jeongnam is a steel armor?
“Did I tell you? You don’t know the real power of House Gwen. The reason Steel Armor can run like a thunderclap is because we didn’t attack him. The power of House Gwen… Can easily kill bugs like Steel Armor. I can.”
“That, what is that…!”
“Tsk tsk. Even if it’s broken, it’s broken properly. Can’t you speak properly anymore? Anyway, come home tomorrow. You dare to allow your body to bugs like that… It’s a disgrace to your family. .”
“Wait! Wait!”
Ellis rushed over and grabbed Lisanna’s arm.
Match-!
“Ah…”
What came back was Lisanna’s fierce slapping. After being slapped by her, Elise grabbed her tingling cheek and stared blankly at her mother.
“No burlesque. Where are you tampering with?”
“…”
His eyes were so cold that not even warmth could be found. Hi, is that really my mother? Alice was confused.
“… Of the Gwen family.”
“Huh?”
“The true power of the Gwen family. What is that?”
Lisanna looked at her daughter with her cold eyes and smiled at her fishy smile.
“It’s a power that humans here can’t even imagine or understand. Don’t forget. It’s tomorrow. If you want to save the guy you love, come to the family home tomorrow.”
“…”
Having said that, Risanna turned to her. Alice looked at her mother’s back as she walked away from the spot after she had been slapped for a long time.
*****
“I know it’s there. Come out, Steel Armor.”
A gumiho’s sense of smell is so good that it can be said to be the best in the world. Even before I showed up, she had been aware of my presence stealthily approaching from behind.
“Hello, nine-tailed fox? As expected, your sense of smell can’t be fooled.”
She waved her hand at her leisurely. I haven’t used the monster hunter psychic powers yet. She couldn’t reveal my power until I lured her to her trap.
“What are you doing here?”
“What’s the matter? I came because that guy over there appeared.”
I pointed at the sirens flying through the sky from behind, moving as if they were going to attack at any moment.
“I couldn’t kill you last time. So shouldn’t I finish it with my own hands to decide?”
“…Is that really all?”
“Huh? Or else? You mean I have some other purpose?”
Is it because it’s a monster? The eyesight was awesome.
“If the purpose is to be a siren, she has no reason to appear in front of me.”
“It’s just that it’s still before the battle, so it could be that he stopped by to say hello.”
“And.”
“Huh?”
“It seems that they really have a different purpose, judging by the fact that they insisted on putting the word ‘different purpose’ into their mouths.”
“This.”
I shook my head. It really wasn’t normal.
But no matter how smart you are, you won’t even notice that all of this is a trap I’ve prepared to catch myself.
“If you think so, I can’t help it. You guys should take care of it yourself. I’m stepping down. I have no intention of helping you guys even if I get suspicious.”
I raised my arms and stepped back slowly. Despite my appearance, the gumiho did not let go of its doubts. She, too, is a woman of caution.
‘Then shall we throw the bait now?’
Let’s catch a big fish.
“Oh right. But a nine-tailed fox.”
“What is it?”
“At that time. When the sirens first appeared.”
“…”
“Did I really miss the sirens then?”
“… I beg your pardon?”
“No matter how stupid I was, couldn’t I have killed the dying siren?”
“What do you mean?”
I shrugged my shoulders exaggeratedly.
“Just. I was wondering if I missed the sirens or let them go.”
“What? Could it be you…”
“And one more thing, how could the dying Siren come back to her normal form? Maybe someone helped?”
“…”
“I’m really curious about that. Then I’ll go, a nine-tailed fox. See you next time.”
“… Stop it.”
After taking a few steps, I heard the voice of a gumiho grabbing me from behind. But I ignored it and walked forward.
“I would have told you to stop.”
“…”
“Stop!”
“…”
I just ran at full speed. I glanced behind me and saw a nine-tailed fox following me.
“Steel armor standing there!”
“… Hehe.”
*****
I climbed the mountain in Area 137, right next to Area 105, with a nine-tailed fox attached to my back. It was two blocks away from District 106, where the Sirens currently haunt.
When I reached the place where the trap was set, I stopped.
“Why do you keep following me? How far are you going to follow me?”
“What do you mean by what you just said?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“You…!”
I felt an unusual momentum from the gumiho. It seemed that he was quite upset. It seems that he is trying to subdue me with force and listen to the answer.
“What the hell are you curious about? Oh, are you wondering if I healed the sirens and let them go?”
‘Huh?’
As I spoke leisurely, I confirmed that her shadow shook greatly. The nine-tailed fox was in human form, but the shadow was that of a nine-tailed fox.
‘Heh heh. That’s right.’
It was clear that he intended to reveal his true power. Then you won’t back down easily.
‘Monster hunters are at the decisive moment.’
Monster hunters should be used at the last moment.
Over the past week, I’ve been experimenting with my psychic powers and confirmed that using monster hunters while using other psychic powers amplifies the power.
In other words, as long as the monster hunter was not used, it meant that you could use your full power. Even if I exert my full strength, the nine-tailed fox is an opponent that I cannot easily subdue.
Moderately relax her and take her leg. If I lose my mobility, I won’t be able to escape even if I use Monster Hunter.
‘Start with a body enhancer.’
“Steel skin.”
When I used the skill, my skin turned to steel. Powering her legs and kicking off the ground, she launched her body toward the nine-tailed fox.
“If you’re curious, find out for yourself!”
“Steel Armor!”
The gumiho also chose to fight with me rather than back down. Again, the easiest and fastest way to find out information is to subdue it by force.
It takes a long time to subdue an enemy with softness. However, it was only a moment to subdue the enemy with overwhelming force.
Bang-!
“Kuaaaaa!”
“Aaaaa!”
Hand in hand, we entered into a power struggle. I cheered up and gave strength, but the gumiho did not push back. And I wasn’t pushed back either.
Power was equal.
‘It’s crazy, really.’
It’s the power of a level 10 body enhancer, but they’re equal! Indeed, a monster was a monster.
Kkang-!
During the power struggle, the first to move was the gumiho. She boldly landed a low kick on her thigh.
One interesting fact is that I used the steel skin skill, so even so, the nine-tailed fox must have bare skin, but there was a sound of metal clashing.
“Haaaaa!”
I don’t know anything else, but defense was the second most confident sport after stamina. Her thighs from the low kick went numb, but it wasn’t to the extent that she couldn’t stand it.
I didn’t miss the situation where she was holding her one leg and pushed with her strength.
The nine-tailed fox belatedly put both legs on the ground and held on to her balance, but the momentum had already passed over to me. She kept getting pushed back. A long line was drawn on the floor.
“Suck!”
The gumiho, who had been pushed back, suddenly lowered her body and lay down behind her. Then she put her legs on my stomach and pushed me back. Soon after, she rolled her body behind her again, jumped on top of me stretched out on the floor, and strangled me.
“Kuk!”
“Tell me! You! What’s your relationship with the siren!”
“He really likes to ride on top of me. Even back then he rode on top of me and squeezed me tight.”
“Shut up and answer the questions!”
“That!”
‘Bouncing.’
She placed her hand on the nine-tailed fox’s side and used her repulsion skill. Unexpectedly, she soared into the sky.
“Kuu?!”
“Beat me, then ask!”
This time, using her gravitational skill, she turned her body and pretended to slam her fist into the ground. Then, the nine-tailed fox flew into the sky at high speed and landed on her land.
Thud-!
“Ugh!”
“Not there yet!”
As she plummeted to the floor, she approached the gumiho and delivered her soccer kick. She’s the instep of my foot stuck in her chin!
“… Is it quite right?”
“This bastard…”
The instep of her foot was not stuck in the gumiho’s chin. When she moved her hand her foot was caught in her hand.
Thud-!
“Mush?!”
This time I fell to the floor. She grabbed my foot and rolled her body on her side, pinning her blade to the ground.
“Suck!”
“Keukssok! Again…!”
She quickly stretched out her arm and used her repelling skill before the gumiho approached me. She flew behind her
In the meantime, I got up and canceled the repulsion and used the Gravity skill. She flew towards me
She swung her fist at the nine-tailed fox with all her strength.
“Strike!”
“Whoops!”
Pop-!
Here, the gumiho surprised me once again.
Clearly, my fist penetrated the gumiho’s chest. But after being pierced through her chest, she disappeared like a mirage. I don’t know exactly what it was, but it seemed to use hallucination-type powers on me.
The real gumiho was hiding right behind the fake gumiho. Lowering her stance, she fed a round kick to my stomach.
“Ha! Look at this bitch?”
I continued to use the repulsion skill to launch it into the sky, so she also launched me into the sky.
Fire-!
A purple ball of fire rose around the nine-tailed fox. The single fireball soon grew into dozens.
“…”
“It’s fun.”
As she reached out to me, dozens of fireballs flew at me.
Oh… It’s seems finally we are seeing the hidden powers of this world… Or rather the city I guess..
