< Episode 70: Demon (3) >
just a little while ago
-Chaaaaaa!
A sharp sword that combines strength and swordsmanship
The gold-faced nine-tailed fox was pushed back to a height of almost a hundred feet.
The simple sword itself was much sharper than before but with the addition of his own magic power its power was so powerful that he had to use all four tails at the same time.
-Shoooooo!
She was pushed into the air like that and stopped midway.
She was floating as if she had wings and stuck out her tongue as if she was amazed.
She said ‘Are you trying to target me using my magical powers?’
This guy is really me.
It’s not like there weren’t people who threatened him over the thousands of years he lived.
However most of them were either beings called good men or imamangryangs who like themselves were close to divine beings.
The golden haired nine-tailed fox’s eyes narrowed.
‘Is it the influence of that guy trapped in his mind?’
It didn’t matter what happened.
This guy is close to the human being who is the demon he has been searching for.
-Thrill!
At that time the golden-haired nine-tailed fox frowned at him.
He thought he had blocked it properly because the tip of his tail was almost cut off and was shaking.
“under!”
In an instant her eyes turned cruel.
She cut off part of her own tail the collection of her magic power and nowhere else?
The part that made him angry even if it was scratched was its tail but when it was even cut the golden haired nine-tailed fox got angry.
‘Shall I kill you?’
It was to the point where even for a moment the intent to kill arose.
But she quickly put it to rest.
‘Let’s be patient. If we kill him here we won’t know whether this guy will become what Kang Sang said or not.’
She was cut off and her tongue licked the wagging part of her tail.
Then the bleeding from her wound stopped immediately.
The golden-haired nine-tailed fox had her severed tail completely torn off.
Then she twitched her lips.
‘If you think about it it’s definitely the most likely that a young human who hasn’t even lived to be twenty years old would already have this level of power.’
This guy will get stronger quickly.
Then his wish could soon come true.
‘Keep it by your side and keep protecting it….’
Something passed through her mind as she thought she should see it.
It was because of something he had seen in Mok Kyung-un’s memories.
And besides that when I thought about it this guy had different natural talents but he was quickly becoming stronger due to his desire for revenge.
That means that if he had to wear it he might not be able to become the form he wanted.
Moreover he is a very evil person even without being corrupted in the first place.
Eventually the golden-haired nine-tailed fox came to a conclusion and ate her.
“Ahh. “It’s a shame.”
He wanted to have it around and enjoy it but it seemed like that would have to be put on hold.
* * *
“For a moment I thought I was just going to kill him but let’s leave it here.”
‘!?’
Mok Gyeong-un who was on extremely high alert looked at the golden haired nine-tailed fox with eyes that he could not understand.
This was also the case for Cheongryeong.
The White-faced Golden Mogumiho was a great spirit beast that was close to a divine beast.
If she known as the moving apocalypse had her way she would not only kill them but she could turn the entire ecliptic into a sea of blood.
To her all of this was just entertainment.
The power of her gold-haired nine-tailed fox was absolute but when she suddenly asked to quit as if it was a whim they couldn’t help but be puzzled.
At that time the golden-haired nine-tailed fox shrugged his shoulders and said.
“I thought about using it as a plaything right away but it doesn’t look like I’m picking young fruit yet.”
“…What are you talking about?”
“That’s literally it. “They said they would leave it alone for the time being.”
“You’re leaving me alone?”
“huh.”
The golden-haired nine-tailed fox said as he glanced at the part of his own tail that had been cut off.
“It’s sharp enough to cut off my tail but it’s still far from that point.”
“…To kill you?”
At Mo Kyung-un’s words the golden-haired nine-tailed fox held his stomach and laughed.
“Cluck cluck. kill me? “Even with my magic power I was able to just slightly cut off the tip of the tail but aren’t I being too greedy?”
“…..”
Mo Kyung-un said nothing to her words.
Clearly there was a huge gap between the power of the golden-haired nine-tailed fox and her own.
She is probably no more than an insect to her at best.
Since I was no match for him anyway I was in a position to gratefully accept it if he offered to look at me at least on a whim.
But she catches on to what the golden-haired nine-tailed fox said.
‘I’ll leave it alone for the time being…’
This sounds like they will continue to target you even if you let them go for now.
No somehow it seems like that.
‘Why?’
He couldn’t figure out why she coveted him.
[This is the human being who is the devil I was looking for.]
She said this but I couldn’t understand exactly what it meant.
Then when the golden-haired nine-tailed fox lightly gestured she was pushed away and her clothes which were in the corner of King Gyeongchin’s quarters flew out and she put them on by themselves.
-Sleep!
Even with a single gesture her hair and eyes turned black again.
In this way she once again became the queen queen who boasted of her radiant beauty.
Her neck tiller picked up the part of her severed tail that had fallen on the floor and held it out to her.
“Please take it.”
Queen Ho smiled and said this.
“I’m giving you that.”
“You’re giving it to me?”
“okay. “I’m good with that.”
“…I don’t have the taste for carrying something like this.”
“You’d better carry it. Because it will be proof that I saved it. ah. I guess it’s because it’s annoying to carry around like that. then.”
-Sigh!
Queen Ho waved her hand lightly.
Then she changed her severed tail into a round flag with golden fur.
“Isn’t it easy to carry around like this?”
“It would be even more awkward to carry around if it was a proof that I had saved it.”
“You are very honest. But there won’t be any harm in carrying it around. “Looking at you it seems like these two people are getting along well.”
“…..”
It was difficult to deny that statement.
At some point both the ghosts and the Imamangryangs got along well.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was after her eyes opened.
“So I have it. “If you have at least a part of my tail you won’t get involved with troublesome things.”
Even if it was a severed body part traces and reverberations of magical power remained.
If you have a part of yourself called the Hundred-faced King most idiots will not be able to approach you and even those with a certain level of status will be at a loss.
‘And if you have it you can find it wherever you go.’
The golden haired nine-tailed fox grinned inwardly.
Even if you didn’t have him by your side you could always meet him this way.
No matter how high-ranking a Great Spiritual Beast he was if he decided to hide in this vast central continent it would be difficult to find him.
“…”
Mok Kyung-un who was silently holding the paddle made from her tail soon put it into his bosom.
I accepted it not out of gratitude but also because there was no benefit in provoking the golden haired nine-tailed fox right away.
And if it was necessary all he had to do was leave the imperial palace later.
As if he knew Mok Kyung-un’s true intentions the golden-haired nine-tailed fox said with a smile.
“If you get caught throwing it away you better be prepared. “Okay?”
Mok Kyung-un looked annoyed at her words.
Be that as it may the golden haired nine-tailed fox turned around without hesitation and tried to leave King Gyeongchin’s residence as if its business was over.
‘Are you really just leaving?’
Seeing this Cheongnyeong internally tried to feel relieved.
As she was doing this the golden-haired nine-tailed fox stopped for a moment and said as if she had forgotten.
“Oh right. The soldiers of the Geumuiuiwi and Demonstration Department outside made me fall asleep. But can you take care of things here on your own?”
At that question Mok Gyeong-un glanced at King Gyeongchin who was unconscious and Ho Gong the Taegam of Seochang who was dead with his head cut off.
If Taegam Ho Gong had made matters worse if he had died like this things could have been resolved according to the original plan.
However I asked just in case.
“If I tell you I can’t handle it will you help me?”
“no.”
“Then why did you ask?”
“just. “You’re not so stupid that you can’t handle even this much.”
“…..”
She had no intention of helping in the first place.
Since she didn’t have any special expectations she wasn’t very disappointed with the neck training.
Then the golden-haired nine-tailed fox laughed and laughed and as she left she said something unexpected.
“The mark you were looking for. “I think I’ve seen it somewhere.”
‘!?’
At that moment Mok Kyung-un’s eyes opened brightly.
Although the words were said out of the blue he was able to immediately understand what they meant because he was a golden-haired nine-tailed fox who had peeked into his memories.
Although he appeared calm and cool about other things Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes turned fierce when he heard the word “mark.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
“You understand.”
“Did you see it in my memory?”
“that’s right. The scars left on your dead grandfather’s body. “I saw that somewhere.”
The words were almost over.
-Sureuk!
Mok Gyeong-un who instantly blocked the golden haired nine-tailed fox using the Gyeongsin Technique spoke in a cold tone.
“Where did you see it?”
She said with a grin and a smile.
“Why are you curious?”
“I would appreciate it if you could let me know.”
“Gratitude alone is not enough.”
The golden-haired nine-tailed fox turned around and circled around Mok Gyeong-un as if to treat her gently.
Mok Gyeong-un who was looking at her like this immediately spoke.
“What do you want?”
In response to that question the golden-haired nine-tailed fox licked its finger stickily and said.
“Do you want to do what you couldn’t do before? “If you satisfy me here I can talk to you.”
“Is that what you want?”
“okay.”
“Then right now…..”
For a moment Mok Gyeong-un was unable to continue her conversation and glanced behind her without realizing it.
I could see her young soul looking at me with subtle eyes.
After seeing that look in her eyes Mok Gyeong-un was unable to continue talking to her.
If it was related to the scars and marks left on his dead grandfather’s body he would do anything to find clues.
‘….’
I could get information with just one relationship but I hesitated.
Mok Gyeong-un had doubts about his attitude.
Why is he conscious of his youth?
He simply couldn’t understand.
Then Mok Gyeong-un opened his mouth.
“Let’s pretend it never happened.”
“what?”
One of the golden haired nine-tailed fox’s beautiful eyebrow rose upward.
On the other hand there was a strange look in Cheongnyeong’s eyes as he looked at Mok Gyeong-un with some kind of anxious look.
‘Why?’
She could understand because it was an important matter but she felt bitter for some reason.
However Mok Gyeong-un’s unexpected rejection made me feel strange.
“Tch.”
The golden-haired nine-tailed fox clicked its tongue and spoke with an expression of bewilderment.
“This hurts my pride.”
“yes?”
“As I live I am being pushed around by vengeful spirits.”
“…What do you mean?”
“it’s okay. I was completely determined to do it too. joy!”
With those words the golden-haired nine-tailed fox left King Gyeongchin’s residence stomping his feet as if he was angry.
Her neck lifted for a moment as she lifted her hand and lowered it.
She gave up on her own mouth anyway so what was the point of trying to catch her?
Not wanting to dwell on things that had already ended Mok Gyeong-un also turned his body and tried to go to where Cheongnyeong was.
Then I heard a voice.
“There is a person among the Geumui Committee members in the internal register who wears that mark.”
It was the voice of a golden-haired nine-tailed fox.
‘!?’
Mok Gyeong-un looked towards the door she left through with a puzzled look in her eyes.
Then she stuck her face out through the crack of the half-closed door and said:
“I was just going to go but they made a special concession this time. “The paddle I gave you is made from the tail. Never take it off your body.”
“…..Of course.”
That wasn’t difficult.
In response to Mok Gyeong-un’s reply the golden-haired nine-tailed fox snorted and then closed the door with these words.
“joy. See you later. “Heavenly Demon.”
