Chapter 494 – 494. The Moment of Reunion (1)
To settle a body in another’s soul.
It is a very special higher realm that cannot be recreated even with magic.
The white ghosts that can be controlled while dealing with human spirits and spirits are abilities that transcend humans that only nine-tailed foxes can use.
Having been with her for a long time, Ortas, who was familiar with her nine-tailed fox’s abilities, was troubled.
How can I use her powers better?
How can she make her own country strong?
After thinking about it, I came up with two methods.
The first is to manipulate your soul and transfer it to another body.
Ortas, who had a history of accepting the magic of a nine-tailed fox once, developed resistance and was able to store the power of the divine beast in his body, but unlike the recovered body, the life span of the body was extremely shortened, resulting in a contradictory side effect.
The fox bead, which fully embraces the power of a powerful divine beast, was something that a human body could not bear.
So she took her own blood and attempted a method of implanting her soul in the body of her child, who had at least some resistance to her divine powers.
“Everything is for people…”
The power of this divine beast is powerful, but it is like a double-edged sword that destroys itself.
Ortas, who gained her power by betraying the existence she trusted the most and gave her heart to, gradually ruined her sanity.
As a result of giving up what was most precious to her, she ruined his reason and instead developed her country into a great power based on her mighty strength.
The second is the use of her remains, which led to her death by the loss of her fox marbles.
It is said that there is no fox orb that served as a vessel, but in order to utilize the mighty energy flowing from the remains of the dead nine-tailed fox, her remains were buried in the ground and a tree was planted on top of it, so that the tree that grew up eating the energy of the divine water could protect the people of the kingdom. He was raised to be a powerful human with innately strong magical powers.
This is the true nature of the tree called the ‘Tree of Wishes’ or ‘The Divine Tree of Fernias’ planted in the center of the Royal School of Aether.
It is completely different from the historical documents that the Shinsoo gave up his life and wanted his remains to be used for humans until his death.
The truth is so cruel, miserable, and selfish.
The end of Shinsoo who believed in humans was a gloomy story that no one could have imagined.
“…”
Only heavy silence sat down.
Everyone in this place, hearing Eunhyeon’s words, all stared at one side with shocked faces.
“No… I will… No way…”
Queen Diane still denies Eun-hyeon’s revelation and can’t accept the truth.
And as he looked at the reaction of Prince Damian, who was staring at Eun-hyeon with her hard face behind her, he swallowed at her nervousness.
“How…”
In the midst of that heavy silence, Prince Damian was the first to speak up, after being asked by Eunhyeon if he was wrong.
“How did know?”
“Ahhh… !”
Upon hearing Prince Damian’s words, Queen Diane’s face was stained with despair and she sat down in her seat.
Not denying anything about Eun-hyeon’s revelation means that his revelation was true.
The man behind him realized that it was not his son, but something that had taken over his son’s body.
“Well. How did you know?”
Eun-hyeon smiles meaningfully and answers Prince Damian’s question with a question.
“…”
Prince Damian, Ortas, hardened his expression and remained silent.
I didn’t expect to hear an answer from him in the first place.
Ortas, who passed Queen Diane who was sitting on the floor and slowly walked forward, stood in the center and confronted Eun-hyeon.
“So? What do you want to do?”
He mutilated the body of his former body, Andrea Pernias, and thrust a sword into the royal family.
No matter how much Eunhyeon is Dae-Hyun’s friend, Dae-Hyun’s husband, even if he is the son-in-law of the Duke’s family.
What he did was by no means ordinary.
In some cases, it is a very serious matter that can punish not only the individual, but also his family and people around him with summary execution.
There is no way that Eun-hyeon is unaware of the seriousness of what he has done.
He must have had some purpose, and he must have done this.
However, Eunhyeon did not answer Ortas’ question.
“I am not agitated at all.”
Rather, a chilly atmosphere began to form between Eunhyeon and Ortas, starting with the dignity that even stripped of respect, an expression of respect for the royal family.
Everyone was nervous listening to the conversation between the two in a situation on the verge of exploding as if a bomb was about to explode.
The most nervous is Erin, who is located in front of Eun-hyeon and maintains a vigilant posture with Eleanor as if to protect him.
“Are you okay.”
He stroked Erin’s hair, who was holding her handle tight so that she could draw the rapier from her waist at any time, relaxing her.
“… Huh.”
Although she slightly let go of her guard and loosened the power she was holding in her hands, Erin did not loosen her guard against Ortas who stood in front of them.
Ortas, who recognized that inside her there was an aura of the same nature as himself, muttered softly with a curious expression on his face.
“It’s like a loyal dog that listens well.”
“Joy! Don’t talk to me!”
Erin sneered at her and struck back at Ortas’s words.
After hearing her circumstances about her nine-tailed fox, Erin despised her Ortas for betraying her as if she were looking at her trash.
Even though he was Ortas on the inside, his appearance made the people around him look stunned at Erin’s rudeness towards Damian, who held the title of Prince 1 of the Kingdom of Pernias.
Ortas showed no concern for Erin’s rude attitude and turned his head back to Eun-hyeon to answer his question.
“Because I thought it might be revealed someday.”
Ortas calmly expressed his thoughts.
Ortas has learned over a long time that there is no such thing as a perfect secret in the world, and he has done a lot of advance work to make the secret look more real.
Just as he manipulated the story of his betrayal of the gumiho into a story of his dedication to humankind until the death of the gumiho.
But even so, I guessed that one day it would be revealed.
“I was also thinking that if it were to be revealed, it would be you who would reveal it.”
Ortas didn’t know how Eun-hyeon knew about him and the nine-tailed fox, but he was sure that if the truth was revealed, it would be because of Eun-hyeon’s intervention.
He had been aware of Eunhyun’s existence for a very long time.
It’s the same with Eunhyun.
In fact, although the backgrounds and tendencies surrounding them are completely different, the two have in common that they are born with the characteristics of immortals.
Although there may be differences in whether they are imperfect or perfect, there is something in common between the two men who have lived eternally for hundreds of years.
That’s why it’s not unreasonable for them to notice each other’s existence in that long period of time.
During that time, the reason why Eunhyeon and Ortas did not touch or interfere with each other was because their goals and interests were not in common.
Ortas’ goal was to create a nation with a force strong enough not to be interfered with by other countries, and Eun-hyeon continued to fight against Mediah in other regions for a long time, and after that, he was busy trying to stop the invasion plans of demons. Had to send
The two people, who continued their respective actions in a way that did not interfere with each other’s roles, could not afford to pay attention to each other with similar characteristics.
Ortas had a hunch that his secret would be revealed, because he guessed that Eun-hyeon secretly moved 20 years ago when Riod and his party were active in the Great War between the Empire and the Allied Forces.
“I will ask you a second time. How did you find out about me and Miho? And what is your purpose?”
Whoops.
As a warning that he would not ask three times, Ortas released his magic power.
Feeling the flow of magic power so dense that the air vibrates, the people around them trembled and agitated.
“Eww…”
Even Erin, who has the same kind of energy, let out a small moan and made her nervous.
She said she was working hard, but Erin, who was still only a newbie as a Shinsoo, couldn’t produce as much output as Ortas.
“It’s a purpose…”
Eunhyeon recited the words Ortas put into his mouth.
Soon after, she stared at Ortas in front of her and answered his question.
“If it’s to hit you. Could this be the answer?”
“… !”
It wasn’t Ortas who was surprised by Eun-hyeon’s answer, but the knights of Artia, who were listening to the conversation while holding their breath, surrounding them.
It was like saying that he would confidently turn Artia’s knights and the entire royal family into enemies right here.
The Knights of Artia momentarily turned their heads to see Riod’s face.
It wasn’t what they wanted, but the Knights of Artia, who are supposed to protect the royal family of Pernias, are in a position to exclude him since they heard Eun-hyeon’s declaration that they would become enemies of Pernias.
“You… Me?”
Ortas now looked at his ears, wondering if he was hearing correctly.
Soon he burst into laughter.
That laugh is a mockery that comes from the confidence that it is absolutely impossible.
“How?”
Currently, among the people on this island, Orbis, except for Eunhyeon, Eleanor, Erin, and Gerard, all belong to the Kingdom of Pernias.
He knew that Lyod was his friend, but since he was bound by discipline, title, and the relationship between king and subject, Lyod was also Pernias’s.
On the other hand, Eun-hyeon’s strength is only Eleanor, Erin, and Gerard, who have come together.
In addition to the Artia Knights, Ortas had another force outside of the human race.
[Hujok magic (狐族姚術)]
[Hundred Ghost Night Trips]
The blue flames that start to rise from the ground of the island start to sway, and one by one they start to take shape with mass.
“This… !”
Erin, who knew very well what this ability was like, couldn’t help but open her eyes wide in surprise.
Because she was so much like the technique she used to patronize.
Even the number of Hundred Demons Ortas summoned far exceeded the number he could summon.
‘How on earth… ?’
Even the nine-tailed fox, who taught himself witchcraft, could only summon up to nine hundred ghosts, but the number of ghosts wearing blue armor that took shape in front of him began to exceed tens or hundreds.
“There are only four of us. Can you stand up to my hundred demons?”
“I think you misunderstood something.”
Eunhyun laughed and continued talking to Ortas.
“I didn’t say I hit you myself.”
“… What?”
“No matter how much I am, it is very burdensome to directly attack the royal family of Pernias. That… You can’t do that to many people.”
If Eun-hyeon accepts the nine-tailed fox’s wish as it is and attacks the kingdom of Pernias and annihilates the royal family all at once, it will inevitably harm many people, either directly or indirectly.
Representatively, Princess Yuria, who has built a kind of cooperative relationship with her, her friend Rio de, and also Eleanor’s family, the duke’s family.
So, Eun-hyeon prepared this situation right here.
“In order to strike not the kingdom, but an individual named Ortas Pernias, I had to bring someone who had a legitimate reason to hit you here.”
“What incomprehensible sound…”
Ortas frowned as he couldn’t understand Eunhyun’s explanation.
“You asked me how you found out about the past. That’s not that simple Because I heard it myself.”
“What is that…”
When Eun-hyeon tried to convey something by slightly turning her head back, leaving Ortas’ frowning reaction behind.
Ugh
A tremendous energy was released from Gerard’s arms as it oscillated.
“This, this… !”
Gerard tried to calm something in his arms that suddenly began to run amok, but something in his arms raged even more violently and expressed a desire to send itself out.
“That spirit…”
Ortas felt the energy flowing from Gerard’s arms, and his face gradually hardened.
When Ortas looks flustered for the first time after recognizing the energy of a divine beast that can never be unrecognized.
The energy that had been fluctuating in Gerard’s arms quickly took the form of a nine-tailed beast woman.
“Mi, Miho! You haven’t even asked Hyun-hyung to come out yet!”
Its nine tails, which are bigger than its own body, sway wildly, expressing the feelings of a nine-tailed fox.
Unable to bear it any longer and materialized, the nine-tailed fox growled and glared at his enemy.
“Ortas!”
At the moment when all the Knights of Artia were hesitant at the harsh roar that reverberated in the air, the nine-tailed fox rushed in and penetrated the very brief opening of Ortas, who had not foreseen this situation at all and stiffened his whole body.
In the midst of a sudden and sudden change, when everyone was flustered, hesitant, and hesitant, Eunhyun was the only one who showed an awkward smile and muttered.
“You’re quick-tempered too.”
