Chapter 369 – 369. Shinsu Resurrection (1)
Even in the evening, Eunhyeon did not shine her face.
There was something to prepare, so Lily, who received a message to prepare dinner separately, prepared only meals for four people, excluding Eunhyeon and Belldandi.
In the end, now that the only women’s dinner table was formed, the topic of conversation that came to mind was, of course, Erin’s story.
How her own first experience was, how her Eun-hyeon teased her mischievously, how good she felt, and so on.
While embarrassed to bring up the story of her first experience, she fluently unraveled to three people who might have had experiences in common with her.
“He’s a little rough in bed.”
“Is that so… ?”
“I rather want that, so please accept it, Master.”
“He is pervert in so many ways.”
If Eunhyeon had listened to Illyana, she must have refuted her with a sad expression on her face.
The same is true of him, but it was not without the influence of his wives, who were full of lust, that encouraged him even more.
Enjoying Erin’s flustered reaction, Illyanna, Eleanor, and Lily happily talked about Eunhyun.
I also witnessed harassing Eleanor in the secret training room of the former underground workshop, but the impression of Eun-hyun when having relationships with her wives was really great.
Rather, I think that the act last night was a kind act of caring for herself, her first experience.
‘I will soon… I want to treat you rough… ?’
Imagine that, Erin’s heart throbbed.
Eventually, she opened the front door and Eun-hyeon entered her house.
In the middle of the meal, Lily, a maid wearing an apron, stood up and greeted Eunhyun.
“Are you here?”
“Huh.”
“Are you going to eat right away?”
As always, she took off her black coat, handed it to Lily, and moved her gaze to the table.
Seeing his wives eating dinner, Eunhyeon nodded his head slightly.
“I will.”
“Yes. I will prepare it soon.”
“Please prepare me too.”
“Yes. All right.”
Lily appeared in material form with Eunhyeon and prepared a meal for two, including Belldandy, who naturally sat on the table.
Illyana looked at her Eun Hyun and asked.
“Are you ready?”
“The foundation work has been completed, and now Emilia and her dolls are entrusted with the construction.”
“Construction? What project are you talking about?”
Erin, who was listening to the conversation, took part in the conversation with a curious look on her face.
“I’m going to build a shrine.”
“A shrine?”
The word shrine was an unfamiliar expression that Erin had never heard of.
At Erin’s reaction, she tilted her head and asked, Eunhyeon smiled a little and continued.
“Let’s have dinner and talk. Because we were going together anyway.”
The inside of the dungeon house and the place to be completed are also places where Erinn’s role is important.
“Huh. Okay.”
At Eunhyeon’s words, Erin quietly continued her meal without asking further questions.
◆ ◆ ◆
After the meal, Eunhyeon and Illyana took Erin outside the dungeon house.
“Where are you going?”
“The place where the altar is made, as I mentioned earlier.”
It was not that far away from the place where he explained and moved on.
The place where the original owner of this dungeon was.
Right next to the tomb of Archis, which is located in the deepest part, the expansion work was carried out in a new space.
And in such an expanded space, a huge shrine is being built.
A large amount of materials were procured using Eun-hyeon’s powers, and the building was built according to the blueprints with detailed internal structures, and there was not even a millimeter of error.
“… It has a unique shape.”
Illyana looked up at the almost completed shrine with a curious expression on her face and murmured.
I heard that the use is similar to a temple to enshrine a god, but the materials used in the construction, the architectural style, and the shape are all unfamiliar.
Even so, its enormous size was enough to boast of its overwhelming majesty.
“Wow, wow…”
Erin couldn’t keep her mouth shut at the size of the massive building, built in a matter of hours.
[This is…]
What surprised her more than Erin was none other than the nine-tailed fox.
That’s because it was a huge shrine that was built right in front of my eyes.
[Why the shrine… ?]
About 400 years before the earth was destroyed, the sight of building a replica of a shrine that would have existed somewhere on earth was enough to evoke memories of the past.
“So what is a shrine?”
Eunhyeon opened her mouth at Erin’s question with a puzzled look on her face.
“Did you recognize Shinsoo?”
“Huh. Miho is also very surprised?”
“I see.”
The gumiho quietly waited for Eunhyun’s words to continue.
I wondered what the hell he was trying to build the shrine for, but he was just a thought that remained in Erinn’s body.
However, she soon realized what possibilities she had and she guessed Eun-hyeon’s thoughts.
[No way… ?]
While the nine-tailed fox was immersed in his thoughts through speculation, Eun-hyeon continued.
“Erin, how far does Erin know the story of Shinsoo, the owner of your power?”
“Miho’s story? Well. Miho doesn’t talk well about himself.”
Residual thoughts of the divine beast that was dormant in his own body.
Even after the nine-tailed fox took Erin’s body for the first time and absorbed all of Ashton’s mana, he didn’t talk to him that often.
It was about a year ago that he started actively expressing his thoughts.
She had quarreled and argued a lot over the course of a year, but Erin thought to herself that they talked a lot and became close.
He often ignores himself and fights against him.
Still, it is true that she spares no effort in helping herself while giving her advice when she needs it.
Even such a gumiho had never brought up the story of his past.
“Then do you remember how Shinsoo-nim got into your body?”
“Huh. Remember that Because Hyun-i said it. He said he was tricked by a bad person, betrayed and killed?”
When Erin awakened the power of the divine beast, it was something she remembered because Eunhyun gave a rough explanation.
This was also a very compressed story in Erin’s way, but this was the limit for Erin, who was weak in stories such as theories about magical powers and the power of divine beasts.
“Originally, the power of Shinsoo is very special. It gathers and stores a large amount of mana in one place for a long time, and stores and accumulates it into a cleaner and cleaner energy.”
In general, it is a simple story that humans can do, but if the subject of the action is not a human but a divine beast, the story is different.
“Because the nine-tailed fox in Erinn’s body accumulated that power for a thousand years.”
“… A thousand years.”
Erin pondered the meaning of that time.
Even Eun-hyeon, whom he admires and reluctantly admires, is a transcendental being who is over 400 years old.
Eun-hyeon is also very strong, but how great is the power of the nine-tailed fox in her body?
“Are you better than Hyun?”
“Of course you are greater than me.”
Eunhyun answered without hesitation.
Eun-hyeon was really lucky to fall in the eyes of the goddess and become an apostle of God, and became a ‘half god’ by being loved by the goddess and endowed with divine power and arms.
A nine-tailed fox who gathered enormous magical energy with his own power and became a being comparable to a ‘half god’ based on the power he had grown by neatly capturing it for a thousand years.
Although he definitely does not reach the status of a ‘half god’, it is not right to compare himself who received the help of the goddess with a nine-tailed fox who raised his status through his own efforts.
As if he had no talent in various fields, including swordsmanship, and made various efforts to exist as he is now.
Eun-hyeon, who puts great importance on individual efforts, was giving infinite respect and praise to the nine-tailed fox, who must have been cultivating herself for a thousand years.
Hearing Eunhyun’s words, Erin also nodded her head with her hard face.
“Miho was really, really great…”
[Now, stop talking nonsense.]
The gumiho was not very happy with Erin’s attitude, who belatedly began to recognize the value of her existence.
There was a big difference between Erin realizing her own greatness and realizing her own greatness because someone told her.
In fact, she only listened to Eun-hyeon’s explanation and admired it, but Erin had no idea how great it was.
In a way, it is natural
There is no way that a human woman who is only 20 years old can fathom all the hardships and efforts she has endured in her thousand years of self-cultivation.
It’s just that her Eun-hyeon is showing her respect for a being greater than herself, so Erin is showing a corresponding attitude, but she doesn’t understand all of her nine-tailed fox feats.
Admiration at the level of almost bowing down did not please the gumiho at all.
As she continued talking, she spotted Emilia standing in the middle of the interior.
“Emilia. Construction?”
Eunhyun spoke to Emilia, who was leading the construction of her dolls.
“All done. Currently, the finishing operation is expected to take about 10 minutes.”
“Huh. Soon, I will prepare for that.”
“Okay. Please.”
“Huh.”
Sensing that her turn had come, Illyana changed her steps and walked in front of her.
An altar at the top of the wooden stairs.
Erin found a large orb lying over the center of the altar.
“Marble?”
It is large and bright for jewelry or ornaments.
What’s more, she knew that it was absolutely not normal for her to harbor a mysterious aura.
Illyana slowly climbed the wooden stairs to the top of the altar and activated the round magic circle drawn around the altar.
This was the beginning of preparation for the work to be done in the future.
“Erin.”
“Huh?”
“The size of the magical power Shinsoo-nim possessed is so great that it cannot be compared to the size of the power that a normal person can possess.”
The pure magic flowing from the corpse of a nine-tailed fox and the remains of a divine beast has made an ordinary tree endowed with special powers and effects, making it called the ‘Divine Tree of Fernias’.
The amount of magic remaining in the remains of the already deceased Shinsoo is that much, how much power can the original nine-tailed fox possess?
“The source of Shinsoo-nim’s power was the fox orb that stored enormous magical power.”
The most fundamental cause of the nine-tailed fox’s death was that the fox bead was stolen by Ortas Fernias, the first king of the Fernias kingdom.
In the end, the nine-tailed fox’s body, which was deprived of the fox beads, was just a shell deprived of its source of power.
Ortas continued to drive the weakening nine-tailed fox, consuming her strength, and at the end buried her dead body in the ground and planted a tree on top of it.
The result of Ortas’ vicious way of thinking to use her corpse even after death is the ‘Divine Tree of Fernias’.
[I can’t believe you…]
Realizing Eunhyun’s intention to bring up such a story, the nine-tailed fox responded that she couldn’t believe it.
No matter how weak Erin was in this theory, it was not difficult to predict what Eunhyeon was trying to do by looking at the ‘fox beads’ explained by Eunhyeon and the ‘beads’ placed on the altar Illyana was working on.
“Hyunah. No way… ?”
“You guessed right.”
Eunhyun calmly nodded her head.
“I will resurrect Gumiho, a Shinsoo who passed away unjustly.”
This is the starting point for keeping the promise made between the nine-tailed fox and Eun-hyeon, who first appeared in front of Eun-hyeon after stealing Erin’s body.
“Hyunah. This one is ready.”
With good timing, Illyana finished her preparations and looked at Eunhyun.
Now, in order to craft a new fox orb that will become the new body of the nine-tailed fox, only one thing is needed.
“Erin. Can you help me?”
