by fnovelpiaThe group returned to the city.
After completing her mission, Hilde returned to the palace singing her heart out.
Of course, bring a leash.
Lin, who saw inside that Karami had been walking with Hilde, looked at Hilde’s leash as if it were a treasure she coveted. Fortunately, Karami didn’t notice.
The city was in disarray.
The people of Suin fell into confusion as the world suddenly became dark.
I dug through the gaps here and there and searched for Cheonsangru.
“Cheonho.”
“Yeah, you’re here.”
Yuhwa welcomes the group indifferently.
I didn’t show it, but I was really worried inside.
Putting aside the fact that he had invested in the two of them to the point of losing Cheonho’s power, the amount they had accumulated while being together was not something to be ignored.
I was worried that something might go wrong, but fortunately it doesn’t seem to have happened, judging by the number of tails Lin has.
Went to eight and came back to nine.
I ended up being reborn as a gumiho.
The person standing before his eyes was not the nine-tailed fox that Cheonho knew, but Rin.
“I guess the nine-tailed fox has left.”
“Yes.”
“Hmm… .”
It’s hard to believe that the greedy nine-tailed fox has achieved Buddhahood right before his long-cherished wish of ascending to heaven.
What kind of psychological change has there been?
I was just curious as to how Karami led it.
Yuhwa meets the eyes of Heukbi, who is standing a few steps behind her. Heukbi bows politely and pays tribute.
“Password Heukbi-ga-cheon-ho, meet you.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. It’s just a shame that we don’t have a chance to chat leisurely.”
Yuhwa places her hand on the windowsill and looks up at the sky.
A city like the night before a storm.
The streets were filled with the cries of people, as if animals were howling and warning of an imminent disaster.
The darkness that covered the sky over the city was ominous. It was not an artificial dark cloud.
Like the nine-tailed fox’s eclipse.
It was a dark curtain in the sky to hide their ugly atrocities from the world.
The intention was to actively utilize the monster’s characteristic of becoming stronger in places without light.
‘It’s magnificent.’
Even in the midst of such seriousness, Karami never failed to add to his appreciation. He felt a thrill running down his spine as he watched in real life what he had been watching on a small screen.
Unlike others, I wasn’t particularly worried. There was no way Rin, who had become a gumiho and absorbed the power of Cheonho and the password, would lose.
You can watch it leisurely as if you were watching a movie in a theater.
‘They’ve really all arrived.’
It wasn’t easy this time either, but I finally got here.
The ending of Lin’s liberation story.
The title is A Hundred Ghosts’ Night Journey.
***
Night march of a hundred ghosts.
A hundred ghosts march through the streets at night.
The monsters who received the will of heaven eliminate the nine-tailed fox and those connected to her.
The greatest misfortune and worst disaster brought by the nine-tailed fox.
This is a tower defense game that takes place in the capital city of Vestia, and the key is to reduce the damage to the city from monsters.
Because having a high level of damage is in line with not being able to overcome misfortune.
The clear score for complete liberation is 80% defense rate.
Any further damage is a failure. There is no retry.
One thing to keep in mind is that there are no clear numbers like in the game right now. Another thing is that even if you block by 80% or more, 20% of the damage will be significant.
So, there’s something I really want to ask Lin.
“Rin, please make sure no harm comes. This is both a request and an order.”
Aim for 100%.
I will not allow even the slightest damage to occur.
This is a show.
A show to make Rin a hero.
Even if it is a natural disaster caused by Lin, if it is prevented without causing damage, people’s perceptions will inevitably change.
The fox that brings them misfortune will become a lucky fox for them.
“Can you do it?”
“Rin can do anything as long as her master trusts her.”
“If you do well, I will reward you with the opportunity to legally consume my energy.”
“Unhappy, I’ll break it and come back.”
***
As time passed, the sun did not rise over Vestia.
Eternal darkness.
Evil spirits gather endlessly.
It’s literally the calm before the storm.
Citizens lock their doors and do not come out. Guards are stationed throughout the city to prepare for any eventuality. However, a mere creature cannot prevent a natural disaster.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A flame suddenly rises in the dark sky.
The twelve ghosts appear, tearing the curtain of flames with their spears.
That was the beginning.
Kugu Palace.
The earth trembles.
The atmosphere is thrilling.
The sorcerers lurking in the city cast spells.
Gurrr… .
Four ghost gates rising from the ground on all sides. They are so large that they are easily 10 meters high.
The door frame is covered with stuffed heads with screaming expressions, the dark reddish brown gate is covered with all sorts of amulets and locked with a giant chain crossed over it.
As if telling you never to open the inside.
But if you tell them not to open it, the human mind wants to open it even more. The same goes for sorcerers. When they recite a spell, the amulets fall and the chains snap.
Iron Man.
Kuung.
A huge chain falling to the floor.
The heavy door slowly begins to open, accompanied by a scratchy, eardrum-scraping sound.
An eerie fog emanating from the air.
A line of black shadows emerges from the fog.
Kuung.
The leader.
A muscular, large body.
The body is as solid as lead and as black as charcoal.
The king of goblins, with two horns sprouting from his forehead and a blood-stained, crimson club hanging from his shoulder.
“Khuhhh. The time has finally come!”
Dooeoksini laughed heartily.
The thought of fighting the infamous nine-tailed fox made my whole body boil with excitement.
Huge goblins wearing iron masks followed Du-eok-sini.
“Wow, this is the city of humans. It’s interesting how different it is from the underworld.”
Another door.
The fox monster Baek Gak Shin Sa appears with the fox monsters.
Also, monsters such as the four-faced demon with one head continuously poured out of the ghost gate, and monsters capable of flight flew through the sky.
It was truly a disaster, as all these monsters were gathered in one place, capable of destroying even a city if only one of them was present.
All these monsters are targeting just one thing: the Gumiho. If you absorb the Gumiho’s power, you will be reborn as a great monster that no one can surpass.
It is time for a new Yokai King to be born.
“Okay, kids. It’s feeding time!”
Dooeoksini raised his goblin bat into the sky and shouted. Living humans, not mere animals, were like special food to the monsters.
The monsters attempted to invade a house while making strange noises.
“Keuek?”
As I was about to break into the house, the monsters suddenly fell, clutching their hearts, as if they had been suffering from some chronic illness.
“Huh? Why are you guys like that!”
The fallen monsters of corn.
The moment when Dooeoksini was flustered.
Phew!
A spear of flame flew in from somewhere and pierced Du-eok-sin-i’s chest. An intense pain, as if his internal organs were being burned, struck him.
“Oh my god! What the hell is this flame! My body… keeps burning up!”
Even if you apply force, it won’t come off. With a body stronger than steel and magical powers burning away without mercy, you will be purified like a demon blessed by God.
When the twelve ghosts suddenly turned their heads, the nine-tailed fox was floating in the sky.
Lin viewed the world from the place closest to the sky.
Terrified residents.
The sound of children crying can be heard everywhere.
The soldiers are very tense.
To be honest, Rin still doesn’t like people. Except for her master, Seira, and Yuhwa.
People still hate themselves and point fingers at the masters who took them away.
The master said that if he saved the city, people would treat him like a hero, but Lin didn’t think so.
People are clever.
Even if they welcome you this time, they are the kind of people who will change their minds as soon as another problem arises.
Like the Hoyo tribe of Baekungok.
Once this moment passes, ghosts will come and hold you accountable.
The only thing he believes in is Karami.
Absolutely on your side in any situation.
Heedless of the misfortune that awaits him.
So this is not for them, this is for Karami.
Lin creates a fox bead.
The small fox bead that was once the size of a fist was now larger than her head. The pink bead that once contained only magical powers sparkled in a variety of colors.
Monsters that swarm the ground like insects.
I believe in darkness and run around it like it’s my home.
Then just erase that darkness.
Lin’s odd eyes are bathed in sunlight and moonlight.
Face each other’s palms.
An eclipse that is cast by precisely matching the power of the sun and moon. Another power is manifested by increasing the power of the sun.
“Dawn.”
Heaven, and higher than that.
An artificial sun casts a shadow over a city shrouded in darkness. The sunlight of dawn, heralding hope, drives away the darkness and makes Lin rise.
“Keeek!”
The monsters who are vulnerable to sunlight stretch out their arms to block it, but it is impossible to cover the sky with the palm of one’s hand. Unable to put up even the slightest resistance, their outstretched hands are burned first.
The leader-level monsters try to minimize damage by surrounding themselves with magical powers, but that’s about it. They can’t take even one step forward due to the sunlight.
“Oh my!”
The moment the twelve ghosts were about to rush in, Lin twisted the palms she was holding. The sun was setting and the moon was rising.
The moment when the last light of day and the first shadow of night intersect.
“Twilight.”
A strange world is created where the boundaries between day and night collapse. As the purple light of dusk colors the world, the boundaries between life and death, reality and fantasy, become blurred.
A playful fox’s magical fantasy.
If you exist under the sky, no one can escape. In a world where everything is ambiguous, the senses of the living within the realm become dull as if they are lost in an illusion.
All that’s left is playing with a toy that’s about to break.
