Chapter 371 – 371. Shinsu Resurrection (3)
The nine-tailed fox narrowed his eyes and looked at Eun-hyeon.
“… There’s nothing normal about what you’re doing.”
“Such words are a little sad. This is what I did my best to keep the promise I made with Shinsoo.”
It is impossible to read the intention of the expression on the face of the shrug and the sly reply.
“Illyana. I’ll ask for Erin.”
“Okay. Then…”
Illyana glanced at the nine-tailed fox she was meeting for the first time and bowed her head.
“Congratulations on your resurrection.”
It was only a brief explanation from Eunhyun, but there was something about the elegance that emanated from her body that made even Illyana, who doesn’t treat others well, intoxicated with her politeness.
It is the first time since Belldandy that she is the only one on this continent to show her respectful courtesy.
Shinsoo, who also accepted Illyana’s congratulations, showed her gratitude.
“… Thank you for resurrecting me.”
Both hands were clasped and opened repeatedly, the sounds heard through the fox’s ears, and the refreshing air that came in through the nose and spread throughout the body.
Her senses, which she thought she would never be able to take on again, as she had only her thoughts after her death, brought many thoughts to Gumiho.
“Then we’re done.”
As soon as her fox beads were finished crafting, Illyana took Erin back to her house using her teleport.
In the shrine, only the two of them were left, Eunhyeon and the gumiho.
In the awkward silence that flowed between the two, it was the gumiho who spoke first.
“Why did you resurrect me?”
“Don’t you like it?”
“I don’t know what your intentions are.”
Even though Eun-hyeon was the benefactor who resurrected him to the nine-tailed fox, he narrowed his eyes and did not let go of his vigilance.
“Didn’t you think that I would run out of here right away and turn the country founded by my enemy, Ortas, into a sea of fire?”
The nine-tailed fox released ferocious energy and took control of the inside of the shrine.
Erinn’s magical power, which has risen noticeably through steady self-discipline and training, and the new fox beads made with Eunhyeon’s divine power possess enormous energy.
Judging by its level, the nine-tailed fox’s current strength is even stronger than when it first fought Eun-hyeon after stealing Erin’s body.
However, just as she regained her original strength little by little and became stronger than she did two years ago, Eun-hyeon is in the same situation.
In the past, he would have rushed out of this place and went on a rampage, but now the nine-tailed fox knew that it was a very stupid choice.
“Are you going to do that?”
“…”
The Gumiho put on an annoyed expression at Eunhyun’s sly shrug of the shoulders as she spoke to her.
“If I do that, you will stop me with all your might.”
The fight with Eun-hyeon should not be considered only as Eun-hyeon’s fight.
It means that the nine-tailed fox, who has already seen and heard many things in Erin’s heart, is hostile to everyone around him.
If it were just the people of the kingdom, knights, and magicians, it would be possible to do it, but the people around Eun-hyeon were not easy.
One of the eight-figure archmages that only exist on the continent there.
Candidate for the next saint woman, the devil.
Moreover, what makes it even more difficult is Erin, who has developed a special relationship with Eun-hyeon while inheriting her own powers.
‘An annoying guy.’
Eun-hyeon resurrected himself with the conviction that as soon as he was resurrected, he would run out of this place and he would not run wild.
Eun-hyeon’s mindset of using all that is available if available, even weaves the relationship between Erin, who became her lover, and the gumiho, limiting and inducing the gumiho’s behavior and leading it in the direction she wants.
Before long, the gumiho remembered what Eunhyeon had said before.
-I’ll do my best to prepare a situation in which Ortas can be fed.
Gumiho looked at Eunhyeon and asked.
“Are you sure you want to say that this was the promise back then?”
The expression of the gumiho, who frowned, became sharper.
He said that he resurrected himself and made him free, but the nine-tailed fox had no intention of seeing the descendants of Ortas who betrayed him live happily in the center of the country, enjoying great wealth and power.
“No way.”
Eunhyeon immediately shook his head as if he hadn’t.
“I am Goddess. No, resurrecting Miho was just a preparation step to keep that promise. I have no intention of claiming that I have kept my promise with this.”
It was a foolish act of failing to understand the feelings of the divine beast who was betrayed by Ortas, the first king of the kingdom of Pernias.
“Get ready…”
The gumiho pondered over the word ‘preparation’ mentioned by Eunhyeon.
“And at this point, while talking with Miho, there is something I really wanted to confirm.”
“What is it?”
“Is Miho really wishing for the death of the kingdom of Pernias and all its royal families?”
“…”
The gumiho couldn’t answer easily.
The reason Eunhyeon asked that question was simple.
Princess Yuria, who already belongs to her own side, and her mother and younger brother are those who inherit the blood of the royal family who are the targets of the nine-tailed fox’s revenge.
It was not difficult to figure out the meaning of the question because the gumiho knew about the human relationship that was entangled with many people.
Two years ago, when he was full of anger against Ortas, he had prepared for revenge by burning and killing all the people, including the royal family of this country, to die on his own.
Even if it is just an outburst of anger for his self-satisfaction, it is a choice he made without hesitation because the nine-tailed fox, who was robbed of his 1,000 years of time along with his fox bead, had nothing to lose.
However, the current nine-tailed fox is different.
The experience of being betrayed while seeing and hearing many things in Erin’s body, burying her remains in the ground and failing to resist even her corpse being humiliated and used, the hatred and anger that had accumulated endlessly gradually faded. Has become
While living in her thought body, the feelings that had been growing without knowing the end for hundreds of years had faded in just two years.
‘It’s ridiculous.’
That is what he says to himself.
His anger was so easily dissipated that he himself was dumbfounded.
The nine-tailed fox was not aware that it was none other than Erin who made the anger and hatred in his heart fade away after he had to spend hundreds of years alone as a thought body.
In the end, Gumiho couldn’t make a decision right away.
“I will think about that question.”
“All right. And… Thank you.”
Eun-hyeon was grateful for the nine-tailed fox’s judgment just by not expressing his will to burn and kill all the people of the kingdom of Pernias and those who inherited royal blood.
“Joy. To a topic that I have already tried to entangle and induce my situation to some extent.”
Eunhyeon’s attitude, as if she had been given a choice, was not very pleasing to the gumiho.
In any case, Eun-hyeon was the benefactor who resurrected her.
“Now let’s talk properly. What do you want?”
The nine-tailed fox guessed that there must be some ulterior motive behind resurrecting himself, going to the trouble of making a new bowl in which he could settle down.
It is true that he did it to keep his promise to himself, but it was easy to infer that it was not only that.
Eun-hyeon, who had been seen in Erin’s body, was not a man who showed kindness for no reason.
He has a mindset of not only giving Erin and her wives special affection, but also acting for his people, but even within that mindset, Eun-hyun is a man who moves with a clear goal.
“As expected, Shinsoo. The story is very fast.”
“I don’t know if you’re complimenting me or being sarcastic.”
“It’s a compliment.”
It is undoubtedly true that Eun-hyeon is the benefactor who resurrected her body, but her intention to use her relationship with Erin or various parts to entangle and control her actions was deeply reprehensible.
Soon, a good idea popped into my head.
‘Should I tease you a little?’
I came down the stairs above the altar and slowly walked towards Eunhyeon.
“Is my body the purpose after all?”
“… Yes?”
In response to the sudden question from the nine-tailed fox, Eunhyeon widened her eyes and asked in response.
“What are you so surprised about?”
Rather, the gumiho, who showed a confident attitude as if it were natural, soon came right in front of Eunhyeon and released his own energy that had settled in the new fox bead.
Ugh
“… !”
Feeling the energy, Eunhyun stiffened his face.
The aura of a nine-tailed fox covering his whole body is unusual.
He was taken aback by the gumiho’s natural grabbing of the back of his hand.
“Poetry, Shinsoo?”
“Many human men couldn’t come to their senses when they saw my body.”
Those hands are so warm, yet so bizarre.
Eun-hyeon was taken aback by the strange sensation that penetrated his skin and penetrated his body.
‘This…’
I’ve only heard of it, but it’s the first time I’ve encountered it.
It’s not actually the first time, but it’s because Eun-hyeon hasn’t been aware of it until now.
As Erin developed her own powers little by little while embracing her feelings for Eun-hyeon, there were several attempts to seduce her Eun-hyeon using her divine beast power.
Since it was blocked by the mental barrier formed by the divine protection of her goddess that Belldandi bestowed on Eun-hyeon, Eun-hyeon was completely unaware of the ‘seduction’ Erin used.
‘I have to get out.’
However, the temptation that the gumiho is using now is on a completely different level.
It’s to the point of breaking through the goddess’ protection.
Instinctively, she stepped back and tried to pull her body back, but her legs, hardened like stone, made no attempt to move.
Just by being close to it, just by coming into contact with this formless, dangerous aura, it tickles something inside and erodes reason.
A special aura that paralyzes the target’s reason in order to possess a person and absorb the spirit from that person through ‘energy drain’.
The aura that many humans never escape from once they come into contact with it and become a prisoner of it is really strange and pleasant, and they want to keep coming into contact with it.
“Isn’t that what you did because you wanted to covet this true identity of me in the end?”
The nine-tailed fox’s fingers, which touched the back of Eun-hyeon’s hand, gradually climbed up his arm and shoulder.
The coquettish hand movement that stroked the fabric on his shoulder soon reached his cheek, caressing the bare skin of his collarbone.
Breathing stops and the two eyes facing each other are not looking at the nine-tailed fox in front and are blurry.
The moment the gumiho, who was caressing his cheek, was about to put his lips on Eunhyun’s.
“Stop.”
“…”
Because of someone’s action of holding the nine-tailed fox’s arm and restraining it, the two lips did not overlap with a very slight difference.
“… Mr. Belldandy?”
The intrusion of Belldandi, which suddenly materialized and blocked the gap between Eun-hyeon and the nine-tailed fox, awakened Eun-hyeon’s daze.
In a very brief moment, he realized that his reason had been eroded by the nine-tailed fox’s temptation, and he frowned.
“Ah…”
Eunhyun instinctively shook his shoulders and looked to his side.
She is a goddess materialized with a body that is nothing more than an ordinary human woman, and she is glaring at her nine-tailed fox with a face that has never been seen before.
