《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.

The Everlasting. (Completed)
An Everlasting. A title given to those who have reached a state closest to godhood. Be it through might and power or through love and compassion. These beings hold great influence over the realms. This story is about Asura, a young orphaned child, who was taught the way of the blade and has mastered the Warrior Arts at a very young age. Given a recommendation by his master, Asura ventures out to broaden his horizons and to learn magic. Follow Asura’s journey and his quest to reach Everlastinghood. Comment by the author: Looking at the chapter list, you might have noticed Volume 1 is not there. The reason is that it’s in the process of being published so I’m somewhat restricted in where and how I can post it. Edit. 18/04/2017 The first volume is now officially on sale. It is no longer possible to get the first volume for free. I am sorry but it was free for a long time and it was time for it. However if you like to support me you can find th first volume here on Amazon (getBook.at/TheEverlasting) Compared to other stories on Royal Road this one is faster paced. No artificial extensions of the story by spending forever in generic constructs, like random ranking tournaments, that don’t really matter for the overall plot. That’s the plan anyway. Volumes consist roughly of 30-35k words. Additionally: I am not a native speaker, nor have I had any formal education in the English language. I am trying very hard to improve myself. If you want to help me by proofreading my story, shoot me a PM and we’ll see if we can arrange something. Other than my thanks and fake internet points I can’t offer anything, though. Yeah, poor student here… Edit 22/06/2017 Hey the story is officially ended if i ever decide to continue it will be on another date. The ending is open for anyone to use their imagination. Thank you all for the support. I hope we could meet later in the Everlasting II. Respectfully Biako

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
