I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 346 Tamamo-no-Mae

She was a woman whose beauty could only be described as breathtaking.

The moon-white silk skirt swayed and shimmered in the breeze, but it paled in comparison to her jade-like skin.

Her silvery-white hair, casually cascading down her waist, added a touch of cold elegance to her already graceful and alluring figure. Her snow-white pointed ears peeked playfully from her silver hair, seemingly adding an unusual allure to her appearance.

Nine snow-white fox tails swayed freely behind him, and one of the tails was dragging Cassius, whose body was half-covered in blood and gore.

The half of her face, partially obscured by a delicate silk fan, was both hazy and clear, seemingly encapsulating all the beautiful memories, captivating the viewer.

"What a nice view······"

Cassius, his body stained crimson with blood, stared intently at her retreating figure, letting drops of unusually bright red blood seep from his mangled wounds, turning his snow-white fur a dark reddish-brown.

The figure with her back to Cassius seemed to sense the infatuated gaze behind her. She gently put down the small fan in her hand, parted her lips slightly, and smiled at Erin.

"Am I beautiful?"

A faint, sweet smile spread across her face, her gentle smile flowing like a clear spring, pure and transparent, like a fairyland, intoxicating, inspiring longing, and irresistibly captivating.

Without waiting for Erin's reply.

Cassius, bound by the fox's tail, cried out impatiently, "Beautiful, beautiful..."

"Since I am so beautiful..."

The graceful figure set down her light silk fan, used her fox tail to move Cassius to her side, and tenderly placed her right hand on Cassius's heart, her voice soft and alluring, sending shivers down his spine:

"Why are you so cruel as to try and corrupt me with demonic blood? I went to great lengths to save you this time..."

"Pfft!"

The voice just fell.

Those long, translucent fingernails, as clear as the finest jade, were like a sharp dagger, instantly piercing Cassius's still-beating heart and tearing it out of his chest.

This sudden, dramatic turn of events instantly wiped the look of infatuation off Cassius's face.

Looking at his heart, still beating slightly, held in the palm of the woman's hand, Cassius's face showed a look of disbelief.

But before he could say anything...

With a gentle squeeze, those slender, jade-like hands instantly crushed his still-beating heart.

"Tamamo-no-Mae, you..."

Looking at Cassius, whose forehead veins were bulging, Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly let out a silvery laugh.

"You want it? Fine, here you go."

next second.

Tamamo-no-Mae's jade-like hand, still dripping with crimson juice, pinched that clump of minced meat and roughly shoved it into Cassius's mouth, then pierced through the back of his head.

Faced with this scene, Cassius certainly wouldn't sit idly by. He removed his feigned obsession and struggled frantically in front of the slender hand piercing his head, trying to free himself from the snow-white fox tail.

But every time he struggled, a flash of blue light would appear on his snow-white fox tail, easily dissipating the power he had painstakingly accumulated time and time again.

On the contrary, it made the snow-white fox tail taut even more.

In the end, they even managed to strangle Cassius's body in two.

·······

As if somewhat disgusted, she tossed Cassius's body, which had been severed in two, aside, and then a blue light flowed around Tamamo-no-Mae.

The next second, the bloodstains on her body disappeared under the cleansing of the blue light, and she returned to her stunning appearance.

Only then did Tamamo-no-Mae seem to remember Erin not far away. She covered half of her face with her small fan and chuckled softly.

"Oh dear, I completely forgot there were other people here. You witnessed my rude behavior. What should I do?"

As she spoke, the nine pure white fox tails behind her suddenly began to sway, and as the breeze rustled them, hundreds of distorted phantoms appeared behind the nine fox tails.

Like a demon that had been devouring people, it suddenly bared its claws and fangs.

"Have you had enough fun?"

Faced with this scene, Erin, though his expression was somewhat solemn, said calmly without a trace of fear in his eyes, "I'm very curious about what price he paid to make you, the demons of Japanese legend, appear one after another to save him, and even..."

Erin glanced indifferently at the corpse of Cassius, whose heart had been ripped out, whose head had been smashed, and who had been strangled in two, and continued, "He even put on this show specifically for me."

"Hehe, you actually found out. I was originally planning to play with you for a while."

Accompanied by a soft, alluring laugh, Tamamo-no-Mae's nine fox tails swayed gently, her eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and excitement as she looked at Erin with a half-smile.

The delicate little fan was gently fanned.

next second.

The corpse that had been casually flung aside and split in two suddenly disappeared.

What appeared next was an open coffin entwined with countless blue vines.

The real Cassius was lying in that uncovered coffin.

Green vines pierced into various parts of Cassius's body, continuously supplying him with something to repair his body, which had been repeatedly and severely injured.

However, compared to before.

A lifelike nine-tailed fox mark was imprinted on Cassius's forehead.

With a flash of blue light, the agile miniature nine-tailed fox inserted its tails into Cassius's brain, seemingly drawing something from the seemingly unconscious mind of Cassius.

After dispelling the illusion she had casually set up, Tamamo-no-Mae stared at Erin and said calmly, "Although this guy isn't very strong, he seems to have mastered a lot of hidden knowledge. Whether it's the secret technique of resurrection or the method of stealing the power of evil gods, I'm very interested in them."

As she spoke, Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes flickered, and she continued to Metis, who had somehow stepped into this upside-down world, saying, "Isn't that right, little Metis?"

Metis, whose whereabouts had been exposed by Tamamo-no-Mae, emerged from the ruins of the dilapidated temple and stared coldly at Tamamo-no-Mae.

Although her smaller frame was not as imposing as Tamamo-no-Mae's, her words were anything but weak: "It's no use. Although Cassius has lost most of his sanity through repeated deaths and resurrections, and has unconsciously become more and more extreme and insane, he had already foreseen all of this."

"To acquire his secret technique of resurrection and the method of stealing the power of the evil god, one cannot obtain it through a so-called mark."

It seemed to be to confirm Metis's words.

The moment she finished speaking, the miniature nine-tailed fox that had inserted its nine tails into Cassius's brow let out a faint, mournful cry.

Followed by.

An aura of utter depravity and evil suddenly emanated from the depths of Cassius's mind, instantly staining the nine pure white fox tails and the lively nine-tailed fox mark together with an inky black.

The lively nine-tailed fox mark was transformed into a hideous and eerie pattern.

"Pfft."

Almost simultaneously, as the mark on Tamamo-no-Mae was broken, a trail of crimson blood slowly trickled from the corner of her mouth, which was hidden behind a light silk fan, due to the backlash of the spell.

"interesting."

Tamamo-no-Mae, whose nine-tailed fox mark had been broken, seemed neither surprised nor disappointed by this scene.

Instead, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Since you went to such lengths to pass this message on to me, then you must know how to extract those secret techniques from this guy's mind. My Nine-Tailed Fox Mark can't do all this, so you'll have to tell me..."

As she spoke, the nine snow-white streaks behind Tamamo-no-Mae swung back and forth, transforming into afterimages that tore through space like lightning and suddenly lashed out in front of her.

However, her target was not Metis, but the seemingly more threatening... Erin.

Just as those hundreds of fox tails stirred up a sky full of whip shadows and lashed down.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the empty ground behind Tamamo-no-Mae, and visible ripples spread out, revealing a slender figure.

Erin.

Or rather, the true form of Erin.

Even before Tamamo-no-Mae launched her attack, Erin, who had created a lifelike illusion on the spot, silently crept up behind Tamamo-no-Mae.

Taking advantage of the moment when Tamamo-no-Mae attacked the illusion he had deliberately left behind, Erin raised the [Dragon Slayer] in his hand and pulled the trigger at Tamamo-no-Mae's back.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar like a dragon's cry, a thunderclap seemed to explode in the void. A black light bullet, enveloped in boundless malevolent energy, instantly pierced through the illusory fox tail phantoms and landed on Tamamo-no-Mae's pure white back.

But just then...

Erin's ears tingled slightly, and then a soft laugh rang in Erin's ears again.

"Brother, you've fallen for their trap."

In an instant, Tamamo-no-Mae, struck by the black light, shattered, but this was merely an illusion. The real Tamamo-no-Mae vanished before Erin could manipulate the illusion and leave a phantom behind.

Tamamo-no-Mae, whose true form is a nine-tailed fox, was an undisputed master of illusion thousands of years ago.

Although Tamamo-no-Mae had never seen Erin's methods of creating illusions, given her own skill in illusions, everything Erin had done before was no less than showing off one's limited abilities before an expert.

Even more sophisticated illusions concealed Erin's spirituality and deceived his five senses, while Tamamo-no-Mae could silently appear behind Erin and tease the little boy in front of her with interest.

Upon hearing that soft, tingling laugh behind him, Erin felt a chill run down her spine. She instantly gripped the Angel's Scepter, whirled around, and swung it behind her.

A terrifying, monstrous force created a sharp whistling sound in mid-air.

But before Erin's staff could land properly...

The Tamamo-no-Mae who appeared behind him vanished again, like a dreamlike phantom.

"drink!"

A fierce glint flashed in Erin's eyes as his attack missed. Instead of withdrawing his strength, he bulged the muscles in his arms and increased the force in his hands. Relying entirely on instinct, he slammed the Angel's Scepter towards his right side.

"Click..."

A sound like space shattering rang out.

A ripple suddenly appeared in the void to the right of Erin.

Immediately afterwards, nine snow-white foxes suddenly appeared. Six of them intertwined to form a large, snow-white net that blocked the front of the Angel's Scepter, while the other two wrapped around the Angel's Scepter to neutralize its power.

Through this layer upon layer of weakening, the terrifying power contained within the Angel's Scepter was gradually disintegrated and ultimately vanished without a trace.

Of course, Erin's attack, though not entirely successful, was not without effect.

Zizizi!

Under the scorching holy light emanating from the Angel's Scepter, the snow-white fox tails that were pressed against the Angel's Scepter were also scorched with unsightly charred marks.

However, at the same time...

Erin's body was also violently whipped away by the last remaining fox tail.

"boom!"

Ailin was sent flying dozens of meters away before he finally stopped his momentum after smashing a small pagoda.

After wiping away the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Ailin, holding the Angel's Scepter, rose from the pile of pagoda fragments.

the other side.

Looking at the charred black hairs on her fox tail, Tamamo-no-Mae's beautiful face furrowed slightly, and a patch of blue light bloomed from the middle of her fox tail.

A bluish light flowed around.

Soon the wounds on the fox tail disappeared, and even the charred fur disappeared in the blue light, restoring the fox to its original snow-white appearance.

After tidying up her beloved fox tails, Tamamo-no-Mae's nine fox tails swayed gently as she exclaimed in amazement:

"You actually found me! What an amazing little guy!"

With Tamamo-no-Mae's mastery of illusion magic, even the demon lords of hell and the so-called gods of the material world would have few who could see through her illusions.

However, Erin was able to find her true identity in such a short time using some unknown means, which was enough to surprise her.

It was precisely for this reason that Tamamo-no-Mae's captivating eyes were fixed on Erin with interest, as if she were carefully examining something.

Erin was unconcerned by Tamamo-no-Mae's amazement; instead, his wariness of her intensified.

This kind of illusionary skill, which is so difficult to defend against, is far superior to his.

If it weren't for the fact that she had been flirting with him from behind and he had temporarily forced her back with the [Angel's Scepter], allowing Erin's keen intuition to detect something amiss.

Erin's attack just now might not have hit her.
