[174] Eoreomuri (5)
“… … “You’ve been rude.”
Yana sighed and spoke again. Gwangcheonma, who staggered back, glared at her Yana, and Lee Seong-min also looked at her Yana with her fierce eyes.
Although she quit midway, the strength Yana showed was beyond Lee Seong-min’s imagination.
Seongmin Lee felt that even if he fought with all his might, he would not be able to survive if Yana tried to kill him.
A nine-tailed fox that rules the Eormuri.
Her power was comparable to that of Jennyella, the vampire queen seen in the north.
“I think I misunderstood. “Of course, I thought Heoju would be after your body.”
[It was like that at one time.]
Heoju grumbled.
[But not now. This guy’s body and soul are unbelievably strange. I don’t want to even have my soul destroyed by touching it for no reason.]
“… … If that’s what you’re worried about… … .”
[He said there was no need.]
When Yana secretly tried to suggest it again, Heoju answered in a cold voice.
Yana’s shoulders tremble at those words.
Yana realized that Heo Joo was not willing to receive Lee Seong-min’s body for another reason other than saying that.
Is it really true?
Yana’s eyebrows twitch.
She thought about it just in case, but Yana thought it couldn’t happen.
The reason Yana remembered Heoju was because he was a monster-like monster who had no affection for humans.
“I am. “Because you wanted to see me, I wanted to help you in my own way.”
[I did what I didn’t want. Thanks to you, I became embarrassed.]
“… … sorry.”
[done. If you think about it, it was for me. Why are you shutting up?]
Heo Joo spit out at Lee Seong-min, who was keeping his mouth shut.
[Didn’t you come because you wanted to ask that nine-tailed fox?]
Lee Seong-min gathered his emotions.
I was embarrassed and angry at the sudden situation.
However, Lee Seong-min knew very well that if you act according to your emotions, you will do things wrong. Seongmin Lee took a deep breath and nodded his head.
“few years ago. Yana, you must have saved tribesmen who wielded magical powers from danger. Do you remember?”
“Of course I remember.”
Yana answered.
“I came down south to meet the tribe. There are two things I want to ask you. Will you be able to meet the tribesman you rescued and took with you? And who is the fire-breathing monster that attacked that tribe?”
Yana was silent for a moment at Lee Seong-min’s words. After a while, Yana smiled and opened her mouth.
“Do you want to deal with magical powers?”
“If possible.”
“The way I see you is a strange being. I also heard about it from Frau. About the strong force of fate that is tied to you. you are… … It stands halfway between monsters and humans. “Your body was imbued with Heoju’s magical power and mutated into something close to a half-demon, yet your humanity did not collapse.”
As Yana said that, she saw Heoju’s flames fluttering in the air.
“A tribe that deals with magical powers. They were people who worshiped the dead Lord Heo as a god. Through hundreds of years of worship, they transformed the remnants of fear left behind by Hezhu into gods, and became able to control the magical powers remaining in the world as if they were divine beings. However, the magical power they wielded was so weak that it was not enough to turn a human into a half-demon.”
“… … Were there any side effects?”
“As I said, the reason the tribesmen were able to control spirit powers was because they had managed to access them through hundreds of years of worship. They used the magical energy they had managed to use as a breathing method and combined the magical energy to make pills. “Those who had tribal blood and worshiped it were able to handle the magical powers without much danger, but those outsiders who did not did so suffered from madness.”
“Grunt.”
Gwangcheonma groaned.
He realized the cause of his madness through stories that came and went. Yana looked at Lee Seong-min again.
“Frau said. “It is impossible for humans to control magical powers.”
“If it were a pure human being, it would be like that. But you are not a pure human being. Among the half-youkai who are born between humans and youkai, there are quite a few who maintain their humanity and still use their magical powers. Although your blood is not mixed with that of a youkai. Since you are no longer a pure human, your humanity will not collapse even if you use magical powers. “As long as you follow the instructions.”
It was true that Lee Seong-min felt a little relieved at those words, but he couldn’t show it because he couldn’t completely believe Yana’s words.
“and. “The other youkai that attacked that village was Chuseong.”
Yana continued.
When he hears the name Chuseong, Gwangcheonma’s eyes light up.
Yana tilted her head as she glanced at Gwangcheonma, who suddenly showed hostility.
“Where is Chuseong now?”
“Why are you looking for Chuseong?”
“plural.”
The answer was Gwangcheonma. At those words, Yana looked at Gwangcheonma blankly.
“You are an excellent warrior, but it will be difficult to defeat Chu Sheng. It is difficult to compare the strength of humans and other humans, and Chusung is a being who has suffered many fears while living as a great youkai for a long time.”
“It’s none of your concern.”
“Chuseong left Eorumuri.”
Yana smiled and answered.
“When I met Chuseong in that village. I wanted to kill Chuseong in Eormuri. I am… … Because we wanted to protect the village where the remnants of Heoju were felt. And Chuseong left Eoreumuri because he was afraid of me like that.”
“Chuseong left Eormuri?”
“yes. I don’t even know where Chuseong is right now. “If he comes back, I will have to kill him with my own hands.”
Gwangcheonma’s face distorted.
He shook his clenched fists. He thought that if he came to Ermuri, he would meet Chuseong.
But Chuseong had already left Eoreumuri. Lee Seong-min achieved his goal of controlling the magical power, but he was not a light horse.
“then.”
Yana stood up.

“As you wish, I will let you meet the survivors of that tribe. “The timing is good.”
“what do you mean?”
“In the next few days, I have to leave Eorumuri.”
Yana said with a calm face.
“Because I quickly became a nine-tailed fox, I have many restrictions. Thanks to this, I have to leave Eorumuri periodically and return to the mountain where I practiced.”
“mountain? Is it really Mushi’s mountain?”
“Ahaha. I know about Mount Mshi, but the place where I practiced was not Mt. Mshi. “It’s a mountain not that far from here.”
Yana turned around as she said that.
“Please follow me. They live in these fairies.”
It seems that Yeohwaru was Yana’s retreat. After leaving her annex, Yana led Lee Seong-min and his group into the garden.
Yana, standing in the middle of the garden, raised her right hand.
A long outstretched index finger draws letters in the empty air.
Then the space trembled and split apart. As I walked inside, I saw a large oriental-style mansion built in a large forest.
“I guess I have a lot of enemies. “I usually live here.”
Signs of presence could be felt everywhere in the forest. Seongmin Lee touched the window, feeling the keen gazes watching him.
Jana raised her hand.
“These are not the enemies. “Please show me.”
Yana said so. The nearby bushes shook, and a young man who had not yet taken off his youthful t-shirt walked out.
Starting with him, the people who were hiding appear.
There was a mix of men and women and a variety of ages. The moment Lee Seong-min saw them, he felt an inexplicable intimacy.
[It’s because of magical power.]
Heoju muttered.
[indeed. Gwangcheonma has a stronger magical power than that rice cake.]
“Who are you?”
The person who suddenly spoke was the young man who walked out first.
The survivors in the village also felt an inexplicable closeness to Lee Seong-min, and they were wary of such impulsive feelings.
Lee Seong-min was wondering what to explain as he received gazes in this direction.
[No need to say anything.]
Heoju spat out. The barding buzzed, and Heoju’s flames soared over Lee Seong-min’s head.
The survivors’ eyes opened wide when they saw this. There was no need to explain.
They knew that the flame floating above Lee Seong-min’s head was a monster that their tribe had worshiped for hundreds of years.
They immediately knelt down and bowed their heads.
“Ah, my God!”
Someone shouts like that. The village people naturally thought that Lee Seong-min was the messenger of the god Heoju.
Heo Joo let out a smug laugh as if such a reaction was natural, and Lee Seongmin frowned in embarrassment.
Since then, Seongmin Lee, Gwangcheonma, and Rubia have been living in this forest.
The villagers were not leaving this forest, and Lee Seong-min had something to learn from them.
The villagers responded with surprise when asked to tell them how to control the magical power.
“Lion-sama, you can’t use your divine powers?”
Abrom asked with a puzzled look on his face. He is the young man who first walked out of the bush.
I had already told him several times not to call him Saja, but the village residents, including Abrom, answered that they knew, but they were calling Lee Seong-min whatever they wanted to call him.
‘What is divine power…? … .’
[They say they do what suits them. haha! This old man is a god to those humans.]
Heoju speaks in a triumphant voice. Seongmin Lee nodded his head, letting those words flow through one ear.
“It’s a method… … .”
Abrom stroked his chin and was lost in thought. Although it is called a breathing method, it is similar to a type of mind method.
Gwangcheonma also learned it, but he could not teach it to Lee Seong-min directly because he swore through words while learning the breathing technique that he would not tell anyone.
“I guess I should write a book.”
Abrom nodded his head and answered.
Two days passed without me receiving a book from Abrom.
Suddenly Yana came to visit.
“Like I said last time. “I have to leave Eorumuri for a while, so I came to say hello.”
“How long will it take?”
“I think it will take about 15 days.”
It is said that it usually takes 2,000 years for a demon fox to become a nine-tailed fox.
In Yana’s case, that time was shortened to 500 years, and that’s because Yana was outstanding, but there was also help from something else.
Even Heo Ju couldn’t guess about that.
“I left the drinking method open. You can leave this forest whenever you want, but if you can… … “I hope to see you again when I return.”
Lee Seong-min felt that the target of Yana’s words was not him, but Heo Joo. Heoju replied angrily.
[If you can do that.]
“… … Heoju. Even if you don’t remember, I owe you a favor. Because of that, I became a youkai to repay… … In the end, I couldn’t stop your subjugation. “The reason I protected these village tribes was because I wanted to repay them in some way for the favor I received from you.”
[If you say so, I don’t remember and I never asked you to do this, so I don’t feel grateful. but. I will pretend that you thought you were for this old man.]
Lee Seong-min, who was listening quietly, felt that Heo-ju’s attitude was very arrogant, but Yana instead looked thrilled after hearing those words.
Yana bowed her head and answered in a trembling voice.
“… … thank you.”
After expressing her heartfelt gratitude, Yana left the forest.
Then, after two days, Abrom came to visit.
“Here it is.”
Abrom gave me a flimsy book and said, After being handed the book, Seongmin Lee couldn’t understand it and had no choice but to ask.
“It’s not that thick. Why did it take four days?”
“that is… … “Because there are not many of us who know how to write.”
Abrum said with an embarrassed expression.
“Then you could have just asked me.”
“How could you ask a messenger like that?”
“Then why don’t you ask others…” … “There are also elderly people from Gwangcheonma.”
“This is our offering to the lion. How can we receive help from outsiders of our tribe?”
Abrum said with a natural expression.
Lee Seong-min sighed, feeling like he had spent four days in vain.
