by fnovelpiaA space where the inside and outside of the boundary are cut off by the net of the offending monk.
The barrier covered the ground so thoroughly that it seemed as if it would not allow even the slightest gap, blocking out even the sound of underground water flowing.
When Lin collided the fox fire with the barrier, the flames died down and disappeared in an instant. The fox fire, which could burn even the most powerful monsters to ashes, was unable to exert any force.
-See? Those amulets stuck on the wall? They’re mediums that greatly enhance the effects of magic.
Talismans installed along the eight sides of the barrier. The monk who broke the rules had expected Lin to come and was waiting for her by setting a trap.
“Did you know?”
-Of course~ I told you. The monk who broke the precepts is shady. Even though I ignored you as the Six-Tailed Fox and all, I thoroughly prepared myself.
“But why didn’t you tell me?”
-If you only pursue safe battles, when will you become a gumiho? They say that when you need to grow in a short period of time, you have to take risks.
Who would have thought that this reckless nine-tailed fox would come and stab Jeongron? And Lin himself, who had unintentionally convinced her, was also not pleased with it.
I don’t like it, but I totally agree with the idea that we should take risks. We need to grow even one step faster to protect Karami.
“Your Majesty… I am ashamed to say this. I have other duties to attend to, so please forgive my rudeness… .”
The monk who had been beating around the bush by saying that he had to deal with it quickly and then leave, begins a full-scale fox hunt.
cook.
Insert the stone into the floor.
The ring jingles.
“Chong(衝).”
In front of the monk, the space shook as if the air was condensing. Boom! A single blast of wind blew out, and his monk’s robes flapped roughly.
Wedge!
Something was coming. I couldn’t see it, but I could feel its destructive power on my skin. It wasn’t loyalty, it wasn’t an insect, it was a stab. The invisible awl rushed in like a bullet. It was before I could even blink.
Lin waved her hand as if spreading paint and spread the curtain.
Kook!
The shield that was barely made in time to be made collided with the awl. However, perhaps because it was made hastily, the shield was not as strong as the usual one.
The protective film was pierced without warning, like a needle piercing paper.
“Huh!”
Lin, who had been holding her breath for a moment, turned her head momentarily. The awl passed through her hair, poking holes in it. If she had been a little later, there would have been another hole in her face.
But it was a long time before he felt relieved. The monk chanted a spell while counting the prayer beads he was holding in his other hand.
“Nirvana Pillar.”
At that moment, a huge prayer bead fell from the sky. Before she could even watch, Lin kicked the ground and threw herself.
Kuung!
The prayer beads that fell to the floor shrank in an instant. It was a form of binding sorcery. It was obvious that if you were caught by it, you wouldn’t be able to move.
Moreover, he could not be relieved that he had escaped, as every time the monk counted the prayer beads, a giant prayer bead was summoned and began to chase Lin.
Kwah. Kwah. Kwah.
I thought I was finally getting away from my life of running away. Lin started to run away for the first time in a while, avoiding the prayer beads. But it was different from before. Running away felt awkward.
It wasn’t because it had been a long time since I had done it. I was uncomfortable with the fact that I had grown bigger and, more than anything, the shaking of my chest.
Because Rin’s growth occurred in a short period of time, her awkwardness was more evident. She didn’t have enough time to adapt to her body’s sudden changes.
“Cheer up!”
Even though Lin ran away and tried to throw fox fire at the monk in a fit of rage, he just swung his staff and it scattered without any strength.
It’s an attack that even Unggwi was able to use.
The reason wasn’t just the difference in power between Silk Lin and the Pakyesang.
‘This barrier. It’s suppressing power…!’
The Heavenly Net is not simply a barrier to confine the opponent. It has a curse that weakens the opponent within the barrier.
Not only does it interfere with the operation of magical powers, it also significantly reduces the power of magic.
The barrier was strong, and even the monks who had broken the rules were immune to attacks. Rin could only picture a future where she would be hunted without being able to move.
-Use your eyes to save your eyes. What are you going to do with those good eyes?
The nine-tailed fox, who had been quietly assessing Rin’s skills, opened her mouth in frustration.
“Rin doesn’t know how to use it yet! I just found out today that she has the ability?!”
-Haa… I used to know how to use it well without anyone telling me. This is what they call a gumiho.
“If you’re not going to help me, keep quiet!’
Lin couldn’t shake it off and the nine-tailed fox kept sighing into her mind, so Rin couldn’t hold it in any longer and screamed.
The gumiho sighed again and spoke in a way that seemed to show her kindness.
-With something this powerful, the barrier is risky. In order to lift the spell, you must first remove the talisman.
“Remove the amulet?”
-No, no. I said it was a risk. It means you can’t go out until you remove the amulet. But I’ve emphasized it over and over again. The monks who break the precepts are dark.
Apostate monks are different from ordinary monsters. They are born as humans who chose to become corrupted. Even if they become monsters, their unique nature from when they were human will not disappear.
– Wouldn’t a guy who sets up a talisman just in case against a mere six-tailed fox not consider the possibility of losing? A coward who swallows up his companion because he’s afraid of death, even though he’s a monk? Surely not. When you’re at a disadvantage, you should run away immediately, so in what age do you take off a talisman?
“Then… .”
-We have to find the loophole in the barrier.
Lin immediately activated her Il-yeong-an. Sunlight filled her pupils.
-The Fragments of Destiny are only a part of the visual elements that can be seen with the Ilyeongan, and there are endless ways to use them depending on the intention of the caster.
The first way to use the Japanese-English dictionary.
– Melt your spirit into the sun. From now on, you will become the sun that illuminates all things. The sun that illuminates even the sky.
It was an ambiguous sentence.
I was already busy avoiding attacks, so this was not the time to be leisurely playing Twenty Questions.
So Lin didn’t try to understand. The more she did, the more confused she became, so she stopped thinking and gave the direction of her consciousness to her instincts.
It was indeed a wise decision.
As time passed, memories wore away, and new personalities were born, but their souls were still one. Their souls were in the form of the same nine-tailed fox.
There was something they could communicate without having to exchange words, and the instinct engraved in their souls awakened their abilities as gumiho.
Lin opened her eyes wide. As if she had become a light source illuminating the world, Il-yeong-an began to reveal things that had been hidden.
The subtle gestures of a monk who has broken his precepts.
The magical power flowing within it.
Even the magical power that forms the barrier.
That’s what Lin found out.
Under the feet of the apostate monk.
Only in that part is the flow of magical power weak.
For some reason, he didn’t move an inch from his spot. I thought he was trying to show off some of the nobility that comes with being a monk, but how could someone like him who has broken his precepts do that?
contrary.
It was a dirty trick to hide my incompetence.
The task was simple.
“You mean I can just move it from that location?”
Lin, who realized the destruction method, crouched down and then leaped out like a slingshot. She had flames wrapped around her hands.
The opponent was a sorcerer. Not only was he weak in melee, but he was also in the same position, so he couldn’t attack with Nirvanaju easily.
-Oh, that’s only half right.
Lin could see for herself what that meant. The monk pulled out the stone tablet that had been stuck on the floor. A purple, ominous energy enveloped the pillar of the tablet.
Shhh!
The monk stabbed the stone like a spear. A purple flash of light passed through Lin’s shoulder like a bolt of lightning.
“Ugh!”
The monk placed his empty hand on Lin’s abdomen.
“Shredding.”
Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!
“Cough.”
A huge shockwave struck Rin’s abdomen along with a vibration that shook the air. Rin’s new form, blood gushing out, bounced off and only stopped after hitting the barrier.
Lin, who had fallen to the floor, tried to stand up, but her body had no strength left. The vibrations spread throughout her body and shook her brain. Her head was spinning.
The nine-tailed fox crouched down in front of the fallen Rin and laughed as if it were some kind of amusing spectacle.
-Monks are different from regular magicians. They’re called battle mages, right? If you really want to compare them, they’re classified in that category. They can even interact with ordinary people?
“Why do you keep bringing up such an important thing… .”
-I was going to say something? You just blurted it out before.
I was shocked, but I didn’t have time to argue about it now.
Lin put on the fox fire like clothes. It was a healing method that Karami had learned from Yuhwa after being badly injured by Hyulrang.
Still, her body was trembling as if it needed time to fully heal. Looking at Gumiho, she asked in doubt.
-You said you caught a bear. How on earth did you do it? It doesn’t look like a tactic to me.
That’s because Karami helped. Thanks to his perfectly penetrating strategy, he was able to defeat it without a single twist.
But this time, he didn’t have any help. He had come here with the sole intention of capturing the monk and receiving praise. He was confident that he would win without any help.
-There is one way… .
“If you have it, tell me quickly.”
-You’re lending me control of your body for a moment.
Even if they have the same body and the same power, the high points will vary greatly depending on the pilot. In other words, if you leave it to her, she will catch the fallen monk with the true power of a nine-tailed fox.
The nine-tailed fox whispers in Rin’s mind.
-What do you think? Doesn’t it feel refreshing?
