Chapter 731 – 731. Another Shinsoo (6)
Erin, galloping through the wind, was troubled as she looked straight at the nine-tailed fox that was her target.
‘What should I do?’
The reason is because of that huge black sun made in the sky.
The Black Sun is an aggregate of disasters created by absorbing the power of the adventurers and villagers of the Countess of Eprate, who have been damaged by the ominous magical power of the nine-tailed fox and the rampage of the Basilisk.
Erin felt impatient when she saw that magic, like the sun, with a huge concentration of energy.
The thought that fills her mind is, ‘Is that a problem that can be solved by getting rid of the nine-tailed fox?’
The ‘Extermination Jade’ created by magic was still inflating in size under the control of the nine-tailed fox, the subject, and was also inflating the anxiety that it might strike the floor at any time.
If it escapes the control of the nine-tailed fox, the concentrated magical powers will be released and cause enormous damage.
Such anxiety.
Erin sprinted as she pondered how to deal with this anxiety.
In fact, the speed it took to reach the nine-tailed fox was only a few seconds, but Erin’s thinking transcended the limits of ordinary humans.
A state in which emotions such as fear and urgency elevate the body and fall into the illusion that time around is passing slowly.
She didn’t even have time to realize the improvement in her thinking ability that had come from developing her senses following Eun-hyeon and cultivating the habit of collecting that information.
All that is needed now is a conclusion on how to deal with the nine-tailed fox and that annihilation prison.
“… Let’s do it.”
Erin finished her troubles.
In order to stop Erin, who was rapidly approaching, the black white demons all blocked her way, but in the same way, the blue white demons of Erinn also rushed in and opened the way for their master, Erin.
“Run! You are the owner!”
The white demons of Erinn, who are attacking the Black White Ghosts, launch a counterattack and pour in attacks to the extent that the words of her desperate resistance are colorless.
She forcibly opened her bow, and Erin dug into the gap and spurred the ground further to get ahead of her.
She and she finally arrived in front of the nine-tailed fox.
“Kuh… !”
A nine-tailed fox gnashed her teeth at her Erin, who appeared in front of her in an instant.
She really doesn’t follow her own expectations and thoughts from one to ten.
Because the root cause was her Erin, her irritation increased.
No matter what feelings the gumiho had for her, Erin rushed at the gumiho without hesitation.
“Under… ! How stupid!”
While she was completing the annihilation jade, she naturally expected that she would aim for herself, who had become defenseless.
As it was, the nine-tailed fox released the enormous magical energy that had been condensed in the annihilation jade above the sky.
Although it has not been completed yet, the release of the Extermination Jade, which has already accumulated enormous power, has enough power to lightly wipe out at least one of these territories without colliding with the ground.
Now, even if Erin came, it is impossible to do anything about the disaster that she scatters in all directions in the air.
In fact, the victory of the nine-tailed fox was predetermined from the time the Extermination Jade reached the stage of being more than half completed while being escorted by the Black White Demons.
However, Erin quickly grabbed the gumiho’s arm.
The body’s ability to possess astonishingly fast agility is a level area that even if it is a divine animal, a nine-tailed fox can never react.
Before she could distance herself, she grabbed her arm and closed her distance. Erin, like a nine-tailed fox, stretched out her hand toward the black sun, an annihilation jade in the sky.
She then activated her divine powers.
[Nine-tailed fox’s unique ability]
[Energy Drain]
“Kuh!? This… !?”
The nine-tailed fox realized belatedly that the divine beast’s magic within his body was flowing into Erinn, along with the magic of the Extermination Jade, which he had liberated with an option close to self-destruct.
“Ah… ! Oops… !”
Erin shuddered at the sensation of her muddy, dark magic flowing through her body like a giant waterfall.
And along with that magical power, countless voices stirred Erinn’s mind and caused confusion.
[Save me!]
[Who… ! Someone please help!]
[Mom… ! Dad… !]
[Aiman… ! Please save the child!]
“Ah… Eww…”
Erin, who had a dazed look on her face as she looked up at her, lost consciousness for a moment.
It was a very short time, less than a second, and she hurriedly came to her senses and bit her teeth.
She glared at the nine-tailed fox she thought was the cause and muttered briefly.
“Just now… That…”
“Joy! Did you think you would be fine even after absorbing my mana?!”
The nine-tailed fox taunted Erin, who was struggling with the unexpected damage it was doing to her psyche.
Of course.
Gumiho’s magical energy is a complex of mixed and turbid aura created by massacring the humans of her original dimension and absorbing all their spirits.
Of course, within that magical power are the grudges of countless humans who were sacrificed to her.
Absorbing all of that magical power means taking on all the various emotions of the dead, such as despair, pain, sadness, and anger.
From the nine-tailed fox’s point of view, the method that Erin was trying was very foolish and foolish.
Even if this was the only way to somehow end the Extermination Jade, it is because it is a self-inflicted act of stepping into the road that is destined for destruction.
But Erin.
“Turn off… !”
She clenched her teeth tightly and held on to her spirit that seemed like she might faint at any moment, and she was staring straight at the nine-tailed fox.
She and through the energy drain she did not stop absorbing the nine-tailed fox’s magical power.
Not one person, but the mentality that continues to absorb the turbid mana containing the grudges of dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people, but never loses consciousness.
Eventually, the gumiho realized Erin’s intentions.
“Crazy bitch!”
Erin intends to absorb all the magical energy of the nine-tailed fox and the magical energy of the annihilation jade floating in the sky.
“How dare you think you could absorb all my power… ! Do you really think that’s possible!”
The answer that Erin pondered and concluded was a choice she would never make, even if it was a nine-tailed fox, a new beast.
“I’m not doing this because I thought it would be possible! I do it because I have to!”
It is not an action committed based on the possibility of success.
In the first place, Erin is not the calculating type of woman who considers these situations and factors and puts her actions into action after finding possibilities.
Even if there is a breakthrough in a very small gap, if you start to see the light on the road, you have a strong tendency to take on challenges without hesitation.
It can be described as the temperament of a winner, but in some ways it is reckless and foolish.
“Under… ! There really aren’t any cheeky bitches!”
This is it.
The reason why the nine-tailed fox instinctively annoys her Erin and her desire to get rid of her eyes drives her stress.
No matter how overwhelming the difference in strength is, this woman will not give in to herself.
She struggles to the end and does not hesitate to make a reckless choice with even the slightest possibility to win herself.
The nine-tailed fox was unknowingly intimidated by Erin’s tenacity toward victory, which instinctively poured all means toward victory.
‘You felt afraid? I? Only to humans?’
I couldn’t stand it, I couldn’t admit it, so I wanted to erase the existence of Erin.
The woman in front of me is really full of things I don’t like from one to ten.
“OK… ! Then… !”
Grabbing her own arm and facing her Erin, who was absorbing her power, the nine-tailed fox gritted her teeth and grabbed her Erin’s arm as well as her Erin.
The nine-tailed fox also activated the ability of a divine beast like Erin.
[Nine-tailed fox’s unique ability]
[Energy Drain]
Energy Drain is a special ability originally used by nine-tailed foxes to absorb energy from humans.
As the abilities of the Shinsoo used by each other collided, a head-to-head confrontation began to covet each other’s magical powers.
“Ugh… Eww…”
“Joy.”
You could tell by looking at each other’s expressions which one had the upper hand, without having to speak.
Unlike Erin, who struggled to hold on while breaking out in a cold sweat from her moaning, the nine-tailed fox looked very relaxed.
Of course.
It was because the difference between Erin and the nine-tailed fox was so great that the total amount of magical power each possessed was overwhelming.
No matter how much Erin receives clean divine power while having a relationship with Eunhyeon, and polishes clean and pure magic through steady training, it cannot be compared to the nine-tailed fox’s magical power gained from slaughtering thousands or tens of thousands of humans. .
The situation that is taking place between Erin and the nine-tailed fox is like a tug-of-war with dozens of people struggling alone against overwhelming odds.
“Uh, uh…”
Of course, if Erin showed even the slightest opening, she was fighting a dangerous battle that might have her mana within her body instantly taken away by the nine-tailed fox.
“Joy. I will admit the grit she has for holding on desperately without being distracted by her grudges.”
Erin’s unmatched mentality is so strong that even her nine-tailed fox is tired of it.
‘Is it really that lowly thing?’
The body currently being used by the nine-tailed fox was originally Erin’s body.
The reason why she was able to possess her Erin’s body and easily take control of her mind was because she dug into the gap in her easily broken mental to the point of being weaker than her head.
However, the mentality of this woman, who is another dimension of Erin, is solid and does not give way easily, just like her strong castle wall.
The fact that the thousands of grievances that are currently destroying Erin’s mind still haven’t penetrated Erin’s gaps shows how strong her mentality is.
“But that’s only about that level.”
The difference between a person who was originally her divine beast from the beginning and a human who can borrow the power of her divine beast and use her magic cannot be easily bridged.
Since she had challenged herself to fight only with pure divine powers, the outcome of this fight was no different from the beginning, the nine-tailed fox thought.
When she did not so doubt her own victories.
A voice came from within the Gumiho’s mind.
[Heh, hehe, why… Why only me!]
Erin’s feelings when she realizes that her only family, her brother, is gone and she is truly alone.
“Kuh… !? This… ?”
Just as he absorbed the turbid magical power of Erinn’s nine-tailed fox and accepted the numerous feelings of resentment that existed within that magical power.
As the nine-tailed fox also absorbed Erin’s magic, some of Erin’s emotions and memories nested in Erin’s magic flowed into her mind.
[You endured well.]
[I’ve endured it really well.]
[I’ve had a lot of trouble in the meantime.]
A man’s kind and warm words that break down the embankment of emotions he has been holding back.
[I will raise you.]
[Don’t doubt anything, trust me and follow me. I will make a way for you.]
The words of the man who taught me the word hope and showed me the way to walk forward.
[Love you. Erin.]
The sweet voice of a man who can’t help but love him, expressing his feelings full of affection for himself.
Erin’s support that kept her mentally strong, as if she was about to collapse and lose herself at any moment, was really trivial.
“Under…”
Recognizing the source that protects her mentality in Erin’s magic, the gumiho glared at her with an expression of her energy.
“Love? Is that just love?”
And that emotion is the emotion that the nine-tailed fox trembles with a sense of betrayal, burns with a vengeful spirit, and discards it together as it falls from Shinsoo to Handshake.
