chapter 110
110 – If so, you standing above me (5)
‘Crazy…… !’
I was really lucky.
With only those words, I could express the situation a moment ago.
While our egos were almost being absorbed, the absolute values that Tamamo and I used to base our actions clashed and pushed each other away.
Thanks to the shock, I managed to regain my senses.
Kiying–
Of course, the ego that was almost eaten was awakened, but the mental state was not restored.
The shock of what had happened a little while ago still lingered and whined in my head.
‘It feels like my brain has been torn to pieces.’
Perhaps if I open my skull now and look inside my head, the brain is diced?
My hair was cloudy.
Even with my eyes open, I couldn’t tell what the hell was in front of me.
The head refused to receive any new information.
But I forced my eyes open to check my current condition.
Otherwise, I felt like I would forget whether I was Yujin Do or Tamamo.
No, I was forgetting more and more clearly.
‘It’s too soon to come back.’
Just as water that was briefly blown away by the wind returns as a wave, resentment, which increased in size in a moment, rushes to devour me.
I am now in a secret room.
It’s been a long time since the black, sticky water rising up my toes has swallowed my calves.
It was obvious that if I continued like this, I would be swallowed up by the resentment and would not be able to maintain my sanity like before.
‘So, before that happens, I have to quickly find a way to turn this situation around…… ‘
The grudge that Tamamo contained was more numerous and intense than I thought.
I knew she lived a long time.
However, the image of her in my head was closer to Mal-hee, a woman with the color of Gyeonggi-do, who is famous for the Judicial Jubilee.
Anyway, for this reason, it is virtually impossible to use the method of just staying sober against Tamamo’s grudge.
The only breakthrough is to find a way to somehow organize the waves of resentment that are rushing towards me, and then organize my mind now……
‘What kind of measures are you using?’
Shoot ah-
The waves are slowly crashing over me.
A wave that was dyed black because everything inside Tamamo was entangled with each other, making it impossible to see anything inside.
The water is already up to my chest.
They chew their lips together in impatience.
‘The main characters in the novel broke up waves like this in one shot with a weapon in their hand, and then gained some kind of realization as a bonus, but I wondered why I didn’t have any of that…… Uh?’
It was a moment.
A shock came through my head as if someone had hit me.
Weapon and Enlightenment, those two words created echoes in my head.
Weapons. Come to think of it, I had a weapon.
A special weapon called a characteristic that no one in this world has except me.
Of course, I can’t cut through the waves that are coming towards me now.
‘But what if I change my mind?’
It’s not about cutting…… What if you accept it?
The direction of thinking is reversed.
However, the picture that emerges in that way is extremely unsettling and precarious.
Is it okay if I risk my life by trusting this?
‘…… If I stay like this, I will surely die.’
Then there is only one thing to do.
No matter how big or small, it’s all about clinging to the possibilities that exist.
Because of that, Yujin Dou revealed her will by burning her last handful of breath.
Swoop-
It’s a thing of the past.
Do Yoo-jin was worried when he saw that the characteristic was blocked by the 5-star wall and did not rise above it.
About what to do to break through this ceiling and raise the characteristics above.
And while dealing with the system-given [Talent] And other high-level attributes, I vaguely succeeded in getting the hint.
However, the reason Doujin hadn’t used that hint until now was simple.
Because it was impossible for him to write at the time.
But now, it seemed possible.
-Trait replacement.
-[Putting the flag in your arms (10★)] Unlocked.
-Activate [Piece of Murder (5★)].
Plop-!
Leave yourself in the waves while changing your attributes.
Memories of resentment came pouring in, but I did not resist.
No, on the contrary, open your mouth and accept it.
Is the country in danger of losing its existence once again?
I take it.
Instead, I focus all my attention on the black and red weapon named [Piece of Murder (5★)] That is now in my hand.
Until now, I have compared characteristics to tools.
But strictly speaking, he is wrong.
This characteristic is the result of what I have accomplished.
In other words, it was something that could be considered my sculpture.
Then let’s bring the story back to square one and ask a question.
New sword union, what should I do to grow the weapon connected to me?
Simple.
I just need to grow up.
To the extent that he goes beyond being called a hero and rises to the same level as those whose names have been engraved in history.
How do you grow up?
By gaining mana by growing the body?
No, what is needed is not such a simple thing.
I needed something higher-level, something that gives a strong impact to the mind and body the moment I accept it.
Yes, something commonly called enlightenment.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s a really well-organized system.’
[Talent] Is used to train one’s body, use the training to set up achievements, then acquire characteristics, and then develop characteristics through the enlightenment brought about by [Talent].
The unfortunate thing is that it is difficult with the direction and balance of my current [Talent] To attain enlightenment enough to reach the heights of history.
However, unfortunately.
To me now, that kind of colossal realization was suffocating me.
‘Let’s concentrate.’
I don’t try to do much.
Just like a blacksmith swinging a hammer to absorb heat into a weapon.
Concentrate on feeding weapons with experiences and memories called grudges and realizations that have melted through countless years.
At some point.
“Huh?”
I felt my mind clear and I opened my eyes.
I looked around and still saw water.
But unlike a moment ago, the water was crystal clear and it didn’t create any pain in the process of permeating it.
What was messy and messy comes in neatly organized.
Look down.
[Fangs of the Killing Star (6★)]
The color of my weapon, which boasted a dark red luster, has become even deeper.
Something transparent washes my body and straightens my hair.
My head clears up as if the confusion a while ago was a lie.
Of course, it was hard to imagine that this feeling would last for a long time.
If I looked away right away, the waves created by hundreds of years were rushing in to swallow me.
But it doesn’t matter.
[Status]
Name: Yoojin Do

Aside from these, there are still many weapons left.
“Let’s try it.”
Doujin smiled as she took out her new weapon.
I was no longer afraid of the waves in front of me.

“Whoa…… “
Doyuri exhaled the breath she had been holding in and opened her eyes.
The appearance of Do-Yuri, who was slowly regaining her consciousness, was quite different from before.
The black color that originally only slightly dyed her bangs now took up half of her head.
The color of the eyes also changed. The eyes on the right side with white hair were golden like the sun, and the one on the left side with black hair was white silver, reminiscent of the moonlight.
The same thing has changed with the tail, which was originally white like a snowflake, but now it has been dyed black like a brush to create a single gradation.
If someone familiar with youkai had seen Do Yuri now, she would have been shocked.
People often get lost in the word “Gumiho” And don’t think about things other than that, but in fact, there were differences in rank even among the same gumiho.
And the rank was often determined through lineage.
Then, out of countless foxes, who is the one with the highest peak?
Yōkai scholars speak in unison.
Cheonryun Ilwolho (天輪日月狐).
The fox in mythology, who was in charge of connecting the sun and the moon, is the answer to that question.
Since she was born, she has been holding the key to reach the extreme of yin and yang, and the enormous energy of a nine-tailed fox has met to transform her into a complete transformation.
Do Yu-ri, who succeeded in reproducing the myth on her own body, hurriedly looked around her.
I didn’t know the exact situation, but I had a rough idea of how much Yujin Do had done for her while risking her life in the mental world.
“Father! You’re fine now…… ?”
Do-yuri’s eyes went blank for a moment as she shouted urgently looking for Do-yu-jin next to her.
Unlike Yuri-Rang Do, whose appearance has changed a lot, Yoo-Jin Do’s appearance hasn’t changed much.
But she was different.
Do Yuri could feel it.
“Huh? Ah, Yuri, are you also coming to your senses now?”
Dou-jin’s color and depth have become stronger to the extent that it can’t be compared to how she originally felt.
