《Eaten By A Slime?!》Ch. 2 Part 9: The Power Of This Fox Lord
Advertisement
When the Holy water was completed, Eri guided the shining ball of water back into the empty bottle and rushed back to the log house.
... ...
Uryu laid a complex pattern with peach tree branches around the entire house while he waited for the two. Celestial foxes were mostly in the line of exorcism. Although he had only sprouted his third tail, he should be able to trap the spirit with the light reinforced wood barrier. He recently gained the wood element. This would be the perfect chance to practice it! In fact, with the aid of the wood element, it will make it even easier for him to guide the light elements into the branches and suppress the power of the spirit. However, if it was his first brother, things would be much simpler. The fox-fire cultivated from brother's sixth tail can directly burn spirits to ashes...
... ...
When Eri and Rei arrived, they saw dark branches piled around the log house.
"Uryu, you intend to burn down the house?"
She was shocked. They asked for him to save Alfie, not to kill him!
"Fool, this is an exorcism array! You bumpkins must be frogs under the well. Even priests need to build arrays to drive spirits, Hmph!"
Uryu may not be a true exorcist, but he has practised his fox spirit to the point of creating temporary illusions and short-term spirit possessions. With this method, he can possess Alfie's body for a short time and drive the spirit out. The spirit will then be met with the Holy Water barrier formed by Eri and Rei. And finally, the array built by the branches will obstruct the spirit from leaving and causing future chaos.
"Come in with me, you will witness the power of this fox lord!"
He patted his sleeves and got up from the circle of branches. When the three of them stood around Alfie inside the house, Uryu pushed his palms together.

[Grow]!
At that moment, a surge of power fluctuated from his body into the branches. The dark branches trembled and wound around each other, forming a wooden barricade around the log house. Uryu switched the position of his hands and formed a different hand sign.
[Purify]!
The wooden barricade shone brightly for a second. Uryu switched his hand sign again. This time he formed a triangle with his fingers and held it between his brows.
[Fox Spirit: Possession]!!
Whoosh!
With a flash, his golden eyes shone and his spirit entered Aflie from the eyes. When his spirit entered Alfie's body, he felt a heavy and dark sludge adhere to him. Filthy! Aghh! He locked onto the dark flame-like existence inside the space of Alfie's mind and whammed against it with a wave of his sleeves. Get out Filth! The flame flickered and back up to a corner. The shining being before it seared through its flame body. If it didn't leave, it would burn into nothing!
... ...
Eri watched the light in Uryu's eyes dim and observed Alfie's changes. His face was in more severe pain than before and he was grinding his teeth. The red light in his eyes flickered unstably.
"Gauuuuuu..."
This is the moment! She uncorked the bottle of Holy Water and gave Rei the signal. Together, they manoeuvred the water into a globe around Alfie's body. If this holy Water is in contact with the air too long, it could lose effectiveness. They finally waited for the right moment.
As Aflie's glowing red eyes went back to its original sky blue colour, the wind blew and an invisible existence bombarded the Holy Water barrier.
Whooooosh!
"No!"
Eri jumped forward to catch the spirit. She couldn't let it escape. They went through so many steps to capture it, they have to purify it! She concentrated water force at the point of impact to collide with the spirit.

Sheng!
They struck each other. Eri was pushed back a few steps. No way, it's not being suppressed by the Holy Water? She went forth again and reinforced the place where the spirit struck.
All of this happened in a split second, and when Rei could react, the spirit had already burst out of the barrier. If they were using spirit power at this moment, they would see a black flame fly like a gust of wind into Eri's forehead.
Whirrrr!
"Eri!!"
When Rei reached for her at that moment, the Holy Water shield had already broken apart.
Eri opened her eyes in shock. Before she knew it, her vision went dark.
