Chapter 323 – Letter of Friendship (8)
Anastasia stretched her hand out in the air . The smoke around her scattered, and a new Fox Fire was created wrapped around her .
Kwakwakwakwang!
The Wave of Fire exploded before it could reach Anastasia . The building she had been on couldn’t endure the impact and completely crumbled .
Sparks flew, and the heat became a storm, covering the area they were in .
Krrr—
“S, S***! Run away!”
“Ms . Anastasia and the Hoarder are fighting!”
The locals on the streets quickly began to flee . To normal people, a fight between high rankers was equivalent to a natural disaster . It was because no one knew how much damage the battle would cause .
Some people lost their businesses and stores because of the fight, but Yeon-woo and Anastasia weren’t the types to care .
“Blow . ”
Just then, the farthest right tail of Anastasia flamed green . The monstrous energy around Anastasia strengthened .
“Huu . ”
She lightly blew on her fingers, and the energy flowing around her spewed air bombs that were as big as a person’s head .
The Fox Fire flared again . In the areas where Fox Fire touched, strange phenomena occurred . The space would shake or suddenly become cold .
Yeon-woo pulled the Wave of Fire back to him and combined it with a black aura . He swung it at Anastasia .
Chwa chwa chwa—
The air bombs were countered each time Vigrid was swung . The monstrous energy that leaked out became Fox Fire again, but it couldn’t pierce through the wall of souls protecting Yeon-woo .
[The 2nd Soul]
Pupupung—
Kiaaaak!
The mass of souls that was nearly a single entity at that point shifted from inside and outside Yeon-woo, energizing him and protecting him at the same time .
It was a new interpretation of the martial arts taught by the One-horned tribe .
Hwak!
Soon, he split through the smoke and reached Anastasia .
He raised Vigrid . His target was an arm or one of her tails . He thought it would be enough to scare her off .
However, she didn’t avoid it and just snorted in amusement . At the same time, her second tail lit up, and she swung the pipe in her hand .
Kwang!
Vigrid and the pipe clanged against each other . It wasn’t the sound of metal striking metal . It was the sound of an explosion . The buildings around them were swept away as heat waves covered them, but the two didn’t stop there .
Kwakwakwang—
Strange letters shined on Anastasia’s pipe .
Yeon-woo immediately realized it was a special artifact that Victoria made for her teacher .
However, he couldn’t understand what the runic letters on the pipe meant .
They looked like runes, but they weren’t . Were they letters from another world?
Yeon-woo realized the letters facilitated Anastasia’s use of her unique power .
The brighter the pipe shined, the brighter the green fire on Anastasia’s tail became .
Anastasia threw down her pipe on the floor with a huff .
Just then, the Gumiho that was faintly standing behind Anastasia moved .
Then .
‘What is that?’
The Gumiho pounced exactly where the pipe was thrown on the ground .
Yeon-woo felt an aura from Anastasia that was different from what he had felt so far .
The space around him began to shake .
Yeon-woo quickly spread his wings of fire apart and activated Blink simultaneously .
Like how the pipe shined brilliantly, he was nearly able to use the magic he learned from Victoria to transform his wings of fire into an artifact or a skill .
Pat, pat, pat!
Yeon-woo landed relatively far away from where Anastasia had been . And when he saw what happened where he had just been, his eyes widened .
“You have good instincts, kiddo . ”
Anastasia snorted upon seeing him . Everything around her was destroyed .
Everything around her was leveled . Only Anastasia was left .
The monstrous energy emitted from the broken space showed what she had just done .
‘A charm…… . ’
『That… . . is a monster that’s been dormant for at least a thousand years . 』
Nemesis’s voice rang inside his head .
『A being that became one with a player and turned into a Legendary Beast after a thousand years . But since it had monstrous energy, I think it’s most appropriate to call it a Great Monster . 』
It was a warning not to fight with Anastasia .
『At the very least, it’s on the level of the Nine Kings . Even if my previous master were to come back, it would be hard to guarantee victory . Unless it’s the Martial King or the Summer Queen… . . I think it’ll be difficult . 』
The monstrous energy around Anastasia was growing darker, and the illusion behind her even was clearing up . It was like the Gumiho was standing right on top of Anastasia .
The more the number of lit Fox Fires on her tails increased, the clearer her monstrous energy was .
『We barked up the wrong tree . I think we should step back . 』
Even though Yeon-woo was becoming stronger at a quick rate, he definitely wasn’t on the level of the Nine Kings yet .
And if she was comparable to the Martial King and Summer Queen in terms of strength, he had no chance of winning .
However .
‘No . There is a way . ’
Under the mask, Yeon-woo grinned .
“What are you mumbling about?”
Anastasia must’ve read Nemesis’s presence inside the Philosopher’s Stone because she frowned and flicked her finger again . Her fifth tail caught on fire .
Kwakwakwang—

Countless air bombs came from above . When the Gumiho shook its tail, strong winds blew over like tornados .
The Fox Fire turned the ground black .
Space was crumbling in front of him like a clear layer of ice that had been someone hammered .
Tentacles pierced the ground and wiggled around . Monstrous energy was a power that one borrowed from a greater being . The inexplicable phenomenon precisely spread around Yeon-woo .
He would have to be crazy to fight her head-on .
‘If so… . . ’
Yeon-woo’s eyes flashed coldly .
‘Little by little . Like how your clothes end up getting drenched in a light drizzle . ’
[Draconic Eyes]
[Extrasensory Perception]
Along with his Consciousness, two skills combined as one and began to stack their flaws in between them .
[Wind Path – Gust of Wind]
Yeon-woo forced himself into it . Once again, he ran towards where Anastasia was inside of the Fox Fire .
He avoided the flaws that looked difficult to deal with . He was confident no other player could match his speed .
『What are you trying to do?』
However, to Nemesis, Yeon-woo looked like he was taking on something he couldn’t handle .
Also, only four tails were on fire . It meant that she still had more hidden power .
‘When the tails light up, do you see?’
『What……? Oh!』
Nemesis realized what Yeon-woo was saying and glanced around . He had been focusing on just Anastasia, so he didn’t look around him .
『The amount of souls has increased . 』
‘Right . ’
Just then, the sixth Fox Fire tail was ignited . The monster Shanon was taking care of melted and was absorbed by Anastasia .
『She has so much monstrous energy . 』
‘She doesn’t have holiness or divine power, so it was hard for her to coexist with all of it inside her body . That’s why her appearance isn’t her actual body but one of a player’s . ’
The monstrous energy Anastasia gathered in a thousand years was amazing .
However, because there was so much, it wasn’t easy for her to handle it, so she usually left a part of her monstrous energy sealed outside of her body .
Yeon-woo was going to take advantage of that .
If they fought based on endurance, Yeon-woo was more at an advantage . It was because the Philosopher’s Stone endlessly supplied him with magic .
On the other hand, for Anastasia, the longer she used her monstrous energy, the harder it was on her body .
‘What you sensed is her true power when all her tails are lit . Right now, she’s in a weak state . ”
『But she still seems stronger than you . 』
‘So that’s why we’ll use this method . ’

Nemesis nodded in acceptance . He couldn’t help but remain worried .
『Even with that, you won’t be able to drain all her energy . Are you gonna go for a blind spot?』
‘Yes . ’
If he faced her head-on, he would die .
He quickly reached Anastasia and attacked her with Blink and the 72 Bian .
‘Like this . ’
Chwak—
“Keack! You dare!”
There was a deep injury on Anastasia’s right leg . Blood spattered into the air and disappeared . Instead, a long mass of flesh extended from her right wrist .
She was hurt by a human who hadn’t even lived a hundred years . She couldn’t let herself be humiliated like this .
However, Yeon-woo had already anticipated her movements and escaped far away, only to come back and cut her thigh .
The Gumiho cried at the sky . It was only a small injury compared to its large body .
Anastasia tried to catch Yeon-woo, but Yeon-woo escaped like a rat every time .
“You!”
She was furious seeing Yeon-woo escape again and again .
It seemed like she would have to light up her sixth tail .
Just then .
‘Now!’
Yeon-woo didn’t miss the timing and activated Blink . He landed right in front of Anastasia .
It all happened so fast that Anastasia didn’t see that Yeon-woo had come near her .
It was because she didn’t know about Time Difference .
The black aura exploded once more . Anastasia’s left arm was cut off .
He wasn’t able to do as much damage as he hoped, but one tail of the Gumiho was almost completely cut .
Yeon-woo activated Blink again . Hit and run . He was going to escape . At that moment, the seventh tail lit up .
Hwak!
He froze at the feeling .
He couldn’t move . The air around him was stopping him .
Then .
Kwang!
Blood poured from his mouth, and he landed on the ground . The impact must’ve been so great that all the bones in his Demonic Dragon Body were broken .
He tried to heal himself with Regeneration, but Anastasia was already standing on top of him .
“You dare to put me in this state?”

『You dare to put me in this state?』
In the space where two faces overlapped, Yeon-woo was the receiver of a growingly angrier face .
〈Monster Eyes〉 . The red eyes were holding Yeon-woo in place .
“I can’t take this anymore . No more going easy just because you’re my disciple’s friend . ”
『I can’t take this anymore . No more going easy just because you’re my disciple’s friend . 』
There was something Yeon-woo had missed . Anastasia was Victoria’s teacher . She would know Victoria’s secrets .
“So . ”
『So . 』
Her naked body could be seen through her loose robe, but it looked fierce with all the veins popping out .
“Die now . ”
『Die now . 』
With her declaration of death, Anastasia brought her hand down towards Yeon-woo’s mask .
「A mere . Fox . Dares!」
Just when Boo was about to open his eyes .
“That’s enough, isn’t it? Stop it now . ”
A large wolf head appeared next to the Gumiho . At the same time, someone grabbed Anastasia’s hand .
Anastasia saw Freesia wearing her usual wooden mask .
She narrowed her eyes .
“Wolf, don’t get in the way . Stay there . I’ll take care of you next . ”
『Wolf, don’t get in the way . Stay there . I’ll take care of you next . 』
“That’s why I came . Because I’m sorry . Don’t you feel like you’re looking at your younger self?”
Anastasia shut her mouth . Then, she turned her eyes to look at Yeon-woo, who was under her left arm .
His eyes seemed both intense and desperate at the same time . She had the same eyes in a time she couldn’t remember too well anymore .
She cursed and let him go .
“Bitch . ”
『Bitch . 』
Freesia chuckled .
“Foxes are also dogs . ”
