by fnovelpiaThe first room of conversion designed based on Karami’s advice inflicted effective damage on Unggwi.
It was difficult for Unggwi to even stand up. Nevertheless, Lin did not stop attacking.
Lin clasps her hands together with her index and middle fingers. With her gesture, a blue fox flame rises into the sky.
Foxfires begin to fall one by one, cutting through the air. Blue spheres covered in flames pour down as if racing through the sky.
The long trail of flames left behind by the falling foxfire was like the trajectory of a shooting star heading towards the ground, and a barrage of bombs worthy of being called meteors rained down on Unggwi.
Phew!
Sparks burst out in all directions like blue waves.
The current Rin can handle seven fox fires at once. However, if one disappears and she keeps regenerating them, it is virtually infinite. The fox fires poured down in a continuous stream.
Black smoke rose from the concentrated fire of the bear, filling the sky, and its screams were drowned out by the roar that echoed through the valley.
When it seemed that the mountains and valleys would become plains, Lin stopped his offensive.
Lin was watching the smoke. The smoke slowly cleared and there was a creature lying on the ground, motionless. Lin didn’t approach it rashly and just stared at it.
Then, a new change occurred in Unggwi. Unggwi, also known as the guardian deity of Baekungok, receives the blessings of the mountain and the earth.
Their energy flows into the bear. The bear’s fur, which had been blackened, returns to its original color, and its burn wounds also heal.
This was also in the strategy that Karami taught me.
It was the so-called 2nd phase.
The giant, who had recovered in an instant, raised his body. Steam-like breath flowed out from his mouth.
Unggwi’s 2nd phase of berserk.
Aggression and agility are greatly increased, and patterns change.
As the ogre with his hands clenched swung his arms as if he was tearing something apart, the ground was torn apart and shot up into the sky. It was a spectacular sight, with the earth and rocks blocking out the sky, as if a roof had been created over the world.
The earth rushed toward Lin as if it were exerting a gravitational force on her.
Unggwi’s Rock Seal that seals the actions of four people for three turns. The destruction method is to place Lin in the back row in the 1st and 4th camps, and keep the four people in front alive until the end.
Since the priority of the rock seal is the front row, Lin can disrupt the attack by setting up a scarecrow.
But now it’s Lin Han Ming.
It’s a situation where she has to turn the attack around on her own.
There, Karami and Lin hatched a plan.
Lin uses magic.
Five fluttering tails.
A clone that looks exactly like Lin appears.
‘If there is no scarecrow, just make a new one. There is an old saying, ‘A foolish bear.’ Do you know how to distinguish between your true self and your clone?’
The prediction was not off the mark.
When Lin, who created the clones of the four, puts the clones in front of her, boulders cover the innocent clones. The boulders that trapped the clones fall to the ground.
This is the pattern that Karami warned us to destroy. From here on out, it’s just small attacks. So what we’re going to do now is…
‘You’re going to get beat up.’
So fucking ambitious.
Hururuk.
Lin wraps her two fists in the shape of a fox flame. The flame fox, yawning, giggles mischievously along with Lin at the upcoming game.
It’s time to dance.
***
The back was nothing special.
64 merciless beatings by Lin under the guise of massage were blasted at Unggwi. Often, men who soak in hot water sigh and say it feels cool, and Unggwi was no different.
How refreshing is the steaming with the fire attribute enchantment, “Keuwoeooo.” He let out a sound and lay down on the floor. He didn’t even think about getting up.
He just died.
Even the guardian deity of the earth did not have a separate time deposit, so it was not possible to receive regular money forever.
In the end, Unggwi was not able to recover as before and became fertilizer for the earth. No, he was destined not to even become that.
“Hoo… .”
Lin, who stood on top of Unggwi’s chest, took shallow breaths to catch her breath. Unggwi wasn’t an easy opponent, but Lin had been training steadily with Cheonho Yuhwa.
All that was left was the power of the demon, and with Karami’s perfect strategy, he couldn’t lose even if he wanted to. The local guardian deity was no match for him.
Now it was time to exercise the winner’s rights. In a fight with a monster, the winner has the right to monopolize everything from the loser. Lin, who had placed his hand on Unggwi’s chest, began to absorb his energy.
A guardian deity that has protected Baekungok since ancient times. As a bear with a close relationship with the earth, its inherent energy was extraordinary. It was incomparable to any monster it had absorbed so far, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
‘It’s… so delicious?’
Above all, it’s delicious.
It’s really delicious.
Enough to almost make me drool.
‘Should I go catch some monsters?’
If you find and kill named monsters and absorb their energy, you can turn them all into magical powers. You will be able to become a nine-tailed fox more quickly.
I should go back and talk to Karami.
How much time had passed? It took a long time for me to suck and absorb all the energy. I scraped it clean, all the way to the bottom.
The once huge ogre was reduced to nothing but skin and bones, as if it had been slaughtered. As the ogre disappeared, the fog slowly dispersed as well.
Lin licked her lips with her tongue in satisfaction.
‘soon….’
I had a gut feeling that the sixth tail, which showed no sign of coming out, would grow. Karami would be happy to hear it.
Sniff sniff. Lin sniffed her scent as if it were a habit. Because she had moved her body so violently, Karami’s scent had faded considerably.
I have to go back quickly.
Lin returned to the fox den with light yet quick steps. The atmosphere in the fox den that she arrived at was somewhat strange.
Like a thief caught committing a crime, he was startled when he encountered the fox cub, who was trying to leave the village with a bundle on his back.
“Oh, wow, you’re here? You’re so early? Did you really catch a croaker?”
“Where?”
“Ah, the fog has cleared. I was thinking of leaving the village.”
The tribe that was so scared of gathering herbs that they would never leave unless Lin lured them out, are now leaving the village on their own.
When the bear fell and the fog cleared, he thought this was the moment and ran away. How cunning is truly typical of a fox.
Lin didn’t really care. It didn’t really matter where they went. Leaving the fox behind as if it was running away past Lin, she looked around as she entered the village.
The fox den was cold. It was as if everyone had left in a hurry, just like the Hoyo tribe just now. It didn’t matter to her either, but there was no sign of the owner who should have welcomed her.
He’s a very playful, immature, and sometimes unreliable person, but he’s the kind of person who doesn’t joke around when it comes to things like this.
“… … .”
Lin turned around.
“I need to join the group quickly…!”
The Hoyo tribe turned their backs on Lin and the fox den and looked back as they ran away. They were only a little hesitant, but no one waited for them and they all left.
I should have gone before the gumiho came back, but I ended up running into her. What unlucky luck.
We must quickly rejoin the group before the nine-tailed fox notices and chases after us…!
Phew!
The wind blew through the valley. A much sharper wind blew. The moment the Hoyo tribe looked back, they felt something strange.
Kwak!
Lin’s new form was drawn like lightning. He grabbed the fox by the neck and threw it to the ground without mercy.
“Caeng!”
It was so violent that the fox’s body bounced back as it hit the ground. Lin grabbed her neck as if he was going to snap it.
“Where did you take the owner?”
“That, that’s what… .”
Kwak.
“Tell me the truth. Where did you take me?”
“Okay, the elder took him. I don’t know where he is. There’s no trace left… .”
It’s not a lie.
If they moved in a group, there would be traces left behind, but even if Lin detects them, there are no visible traces.
It must be the influence of witchcraft.
“Ma, I told you, so can you let this go?”
The fox smiled slyly and patted her arm. Lin, who had been looking down at her with a cold gaze, applied force to her grip, and with a snap, the fox’s neck broke limply.
“Break.”
Lin, who easily broke the fox’s life, didn’t even look at it for a moment. He didn’t even absorb its energy. It was disgusting to have their energy mixed inside his body.
Lin’s gaze turned to a place not too far from here. If they were family, it would be hard to find them if they were separated, but they were closer than that in terms of master-servant relationship.
You can tell no matter how far away you are.
Lin flew towards where her gaze was directed.
***
“Hing.”
I was passing through a rugged mountain path with my wrists tied with plant stems. The Hoyo tribe was guarding me thoroughly in front and behind.
I was watching Lin fight with excitement when the Hoyo tribe suddenly attacked me. I wondered if these foxes were after my liver, but they dragged me out of the village.
“Where are you taking me?”
“Anywhere. I plan to keep you away from the nine-tailed fox.”
“Why? Since Unggwi has fallen, shouldn’t the gumiho live as she pleases without worrying about anything?”
“I don’t know what you’re planning to do with the nine-tailed fox, but whatever it is, I know it won’t be good for us. The repercussions will be felt by us Hoyo people.”
In other words, since I don’t have the ability to stop Lin, they’re trying to get rid of me instead. Since I took the initiative in raising her as a gumiho, they think that if I’m not there, they can at least make the minimum preparations.
I think the reason for not killing him is as insurance in case Lin comes chasing him.
While doing so, he occasionally attaches talismans with incomprehensible drawings to the trees. Of course, he cannot interpret them, but if I were to guess, I would say they are intended to hinder tracking.
There’s even a mobile barrier there that blocks out sound and traces, so he knows full well what will happen if he gets caught by Lin.
‘That’s really thorough.’
At this rate, it seems like Lindo won’t be able to find me. Then what will happen?
“Huh? That?”
Just as I was having that thought, one of the Hoyo tribe members pointed to the sky. In the clear sky, a pink fox with its back to the moon was spreading its five tails like wings.
There is no emotion in the eyes looking down at me.
I don’t know about anything else, but I know this one thing.
You guys are fucked.
