Resurrected Immortal 726

Chapter 726 – 726. Another Shinsoo (1)

“… Who is it?”

To be precise, the magical power that has the same origin as the nine-tailed fox.
However, even if the root is the same, the result itself is completely different.
Unlike the nine-tailed fox, who indiscriminately slaughtered humans and absorbed her enormous magical energy in the process, the power she felt was so neat and clean.
The power that has been honed through steady self-management and cultivation is probably like a sample in a textbook that has been developed with standard efforts and methods as a Shinsoo.

“… Is it me?”

The nine-tailed fox came to the conclusion that the owner of this magical beast might be another ‘himself’ in this world.
But I don’t understand the process.
How could the other self be able to gather such neat and clean energy?
It is not a matter of basic knowledge that makes it possible.
She was robbed by the only man who allowed her heart the energy she had cultivated for a long time by looking upwards.
The experience plunged the nine-tailed fox into a dark abyss, and he hated the idea of ​​using his remains for the rest of his life.
The heart she yearned for, the fox marbles she had gathered her energy for a long time, and all that was left of the nine-tailed fox, who had been deprived of everything, was only revenge on the man who betrayed her.
She had hoped that the country created by Ortas would perish quickly, even if it was for a day, even for an hour, even for a minute or a second. She could not afford to spend hundreds of years cultivating in order to regain her power.
So she joined her hand with her witch who had reached out to her.
She figured out a way to restore her powers as quickly as possible, and as a result, her revenge against Ortas, who betrayed her to the kingdom of Pernias, was even successful.
She went further and in the process of destroying all humans on the continent, she absorbed all of the humans’ spirits.
It was a power created by a collection of turbid and chaotic energies from the mixing of countless human energies, but it was enough power to wipe out humans.
However, the energy that the gumiho felt now was different.

“… Why?”

The energy of another divine beast he felt was very neat and clean, unlike his own turbid energy.
It wasn’t the energy he had grown by indiscriminately slaughtering countless humans out of a vengeful spirit.
What was different about him?
The gumiho wanted to check it out.

Kyaaaaagh!

The deafening cries of the basilisk spread throughout the territory and threatened people.

“Run quickly!”

At the soldiers’ cries of urgency, people became contemplative and were busy running away, and some of them did not run away and grabbed their weapons despite the roar of the huge monster.

“Shit… Can you really catch that?”

An adventurer muttered in a cold sweat.
He had his weapon in his hand, but his legs, which were still on the ground, couldn’t move.
In addition to that, many adventurers were each holding their weapons tightly, blankly looking up at the gigantic snake with a blank look on their faces.

“I heard about it, but I didn’t think it would be like that…”

“How on earth are you going to catch that thing… ?”

That’s absurd.
I can’t figure out how to win against a gigantic beast that seems like it could swallow a person’s head or body whole and chew it up.
The reason they are gathered here now is because the lord of this territory, Earl of Ephrate, bet a large prize on subjugation of that gigantic monster.
The prize money was 500 gold coins.
If only I could receive this subjugation reward, wouldn’t it be the amount of money I could spend my whole life playing and eating, quitting the dangerous adventurer life where I had to risk my life every day?
For adventurers who literally dreamed of making a fortune, this could not be a tempting proposal.
However, it is a story based on the premise that there is a possibility that you can receive a prize.

“… It’s impossible.”

Among the adventurers who directly saw the appearance of the Basilisk, there were quite a few who gave up fighting even before the fight started.
You can’t blame them.
The family of adventurers is a job where one’s body and life are everything.
No matter how much money you offer as a reward for playing and eating for the rest of your life, what use is it if you die without ever using it?

“Shit! I will run away!”

“I agree! How am I supposed to deal with that!?”

For the adventurers to give up subjugating the basilisk, it means that the basilisk is running rampant and turning the Viscounty of Ephrate into chaos, and avoiding numerous human casualties.
But even so, adventurers are not the ones who step forward with a sense of justice.
They acted strictly for practical reasons, and since their own lives were more important than the lives of countless others, there was no obligation or mission to carry out this subjugation mission.
In the midst of so many adventurers putting their weapons in and running away as if they were curling their tails.
Two knights with swords and an adventurer ran toward the basilisk.

“Omg!?”

As if reminiscent of a wagon galloping madly at full speed, the adventurers stopped for a moment when they noticed the three people rushing fiercely from the front.
Quickly turning to the side to avoid a collision with them, I stopped running and stared blankly at them as they darted past.
Erin, holding a rapier, was at the forefront of the three as they kicked the floor and sprinted in a strong wind of dust.

Kyaaah!

The basilisk, recognizing the fast-running being’s approach, stared at the three of them, Erin, Ayra, and Cha Han-seong, exuding strong hostility.
Even in the face of that roar full of intense intimidation, Erin did not shrink at all.
Rather, she gripped her rapier tightly, further boosting her own strength.
Just by covering the whole body with the neat magical power of the divine beast, it improved the body’s ability and served as a great shield to protect it from the coercion of the beast.

Kaak!

The basilisk, which emitted a harsh roar, started attacking the three.
Unlike the adventurers who were frightened and ran away, the bravery of these three people was foolishness that could only be thought of as arrogance to the basilisk.
Green liquid spurted out of the basilisk’s mouth and flew towards the three at high speed.
It was an astonishing speed comparable to that of an arrow, as well as a long-range shot close to the speed of sound.
However, the three of them were clearly aware of the basilisk’s attack, which contained strong acid that could melt even steel.
The first to act was Cha Han-seong, who was running behind Erin.
Cha Han-sung, who quickly stepped forward and took the vacant vanguard position, was taken by Erin’s legs, which had stopped running.
Cha Hanseong, who braced himself with strength in his legs, swung his sword at the basilisk’s acid that flew from the front.

[Olivion swordsmanship]
[Cleave Taesan]

The heavy sword attack, which spreads power from the lower body to the waist and the whole body, combined with the release of the magical power contained in the sword, boasted explosive attack power and swept the front.
The sword blown by Cha Han-seong evaporated away without leaving a single drop of the basilisk’s acid liquid.

Kirik!?

As if he hadn’t expected that his attack would be blocked, the basilisk hesitated while showing quite a bewildered attitude.
Erin accelerated again and sprinted toward the basilisk.
Encouraged by the speed created by her acceleration, Erin leaps after securing enough help from her to face the basilisk with her incredible jump.

“Suck!”

[Galahad Raise Sword]
[Gale Knight]

Her acceleration was gathered to the limit, and the stab that released one point showed off the extreme penetrating power and rushed into the basilisk’s face.

Kirik!

It was an attack aimed precisely at the eyes, but the basilisk, sensing a threat by instinct, twisted her head at an angle to protect a vital point from Erin’s rapier.

Caang!

The rapier that hit the forehead instead of the eyes resonated with the sound of hitting hard iron rather than digging into flesh.
Erin didn’t expect that she would give up her vitals so easily, but Erin’s impression of her was distorted by her unexpected defense.

“What is so hard!?”

The defensive power of those scales that surround the Basilisk’s body is astounding.
Erin’s Whirlwind is a technique that doubles her attack power by converting all of her acceleration, which has been raised to the limit, into penetrating power.
It is said that the longer the flight time due to the leap, the lower the penetration power raised by the acceleration, but even so, that defensive power makes no sense.
But that doesn’t mean that Erinn’s attack was completely undetected by the Basilisk.

Kiri, Rick!

The eyes of the basilisk, which had shown strong hostility, were instantly released, and the huge body began to fall to the floor.
Erinn’s attack did not penetrate the defensive power of the basilisk’s scales, but the impact of it hit the inside of the basilisk’s head and shook the inside.
The condition of ‘stern’, which was manifested due to his concussion, was properly eaten by the basilisk.

Cooong!

The strong vibration created when the body of the giant collided with the floor was strong enough to shake the entire territory, and it was enough to catch the attention of many people.
And at the place where the head of the stunned basilisk was located, the last one of the three was already waiting.

[Olivion swordsmanship]
[Year/month]

Eira’s sword, bent like a crescent moon, accurately cut through the eyes of the stunned basilisk.

Kyaaah!

The basilisk, suffering excruciating pain from cutting his eyes, let out a scream as the stun state was released.

“Sister! Awesome!”

Erin leaped high and slowly landed on her floor, exclaiming admiration for Eira, who struck her gracefully.
The connection between the three of them, which was made in a series of defense and attack, was an impromptu ad-lib that was not agreed at all in advance, but from the point of view of outsiders who did not know the circumstances, it looked like a team play that had been put together for a really long time.

Kyaaaaa!

The basilisk, writhing in pain and rampaging even more fiercely than at the beginning, stopped looking at the three of them.
It is just expressing the agony of bloody tears flowing from his one eye with his whole body.

Wow!

The riot created by the body of the giant serpent swaying here and there was enough to destroy buildings, change the topography of the land, and turn the territory itself into a scorched earth.
Rather, perhaps because she lost her reason, the basilisk’s behavior, which rampaged even more strongly, was no different from the disaster itself.

“Ayra sister! Once more!”

Erin tried to leap one more time to aim for her other eye that still remained.

[Barbarian Witchcraft (狐族姚術)]
[Black flame]

“… !?”

Sensing the presence of black flames flying from her unexpected place, Erin hurriedly pulled her body back and avoided her seat.

“This…”

Erin couldn’t take her eyes off the black flame burning her floor.
It was because I was very familiar with the aura of power felt from it.
Their properties are subtly different, but the basis is undoubtedly the power of the divine beast they use.

“I thought it would be ‘another me,'” She said. I never thought it would be this ‘pathetic guy’…”

Erin was startled and turned her head in the direction of her voice.
Because her voice was exactly the same as her own.
Like Erin, Eira and Cha Hanseong turned their heads in the same direction and were shocked to see her face.

“Erin… Two… ?”

“No. No. Sister. That… I’m not.”

Erin hardened her face, and she recognized who the inside of a woman with a face just like hers was.

“… Are you Miho?”

When she carefully called out the fox’s name in her stiff voice, the fox frowned and openly expressed her displeasure.

“Why are you pretending to be friendly with me? On the subject of pathetic things. What on earth is the ‘me’ of this world thinking?”
