Obsession of the Neglected 6-Star Heroes-Chapter 32

Swipe.

Rivera eyed Yohō’s tail.

The once nine-tailed fox now had only eight tails.

This was the result of layering an already broken domain. It was like trying to glue a half-destroyed building back together.

The domain was being constructed. This was Yohō's inner sanctum. The unshakable space where Yohō would realize her ideals and reality. There was no escape; no method to break it.

Even Yohō herself was part of this.

"Mm~? Why aren't you responding?"

She had already made her intentions clear. Rivera bent her fingers, curling them into a shape as though she was preparing to grasp something.

Mana flowed into her hands. The energy coursed through her veins, gathering into her palms.

If a domain had been constructed, it could be broken.

If something had been layered, more layers could be added.

A golden aura swirled from the walls. A round shape began to swell.

Whoosh.

The Golden Dragon moved. His forepaw slammed into the ground, and with the force of a pitcher, he launched a condensed attack.

The gathered energy exploded in an instant.

Pew!

Particles gathered, forming a radiant net that became a beam of light shooting toward the shrine.

The beam split into multiple strands.

The target was, naturally, Yohō. And her tail.

Pew wooosh!!

Hundreds of beams created a spectacular scene.

"Haha! Do you really think that will work in my domain~?"

Yet Yohō’s expression didn’t change. She still wore a cold, mocking smile.

Eight tails swayed. She surrounded the outstretched hand, forming something massive.

A black sphere.

It resembled the black liquid that might appear in a ninja cartoon.

Yohō’s hand lightly swirled it.

She sent the liquid—perhaps a blob—soaring into the sky.

"Oho~"

It was fast. It flew like a bullet, certainly faster than the speed of sound, streaking toward the trajectory of Rivera’s attack.

The golden light and the black sphere collided.

The clouds parted above, and the vibration echoed through the air, creating a spectacle that could have been mistaken for a volcanic eruption.

Boom—whooom!

The faint smoke covered both Rivera and Yohō, enveloping the domain.

A nauseating, suffocating mass surrounded the two women.

Gah... Hgh...

The Golden Dragon coughed, hiding his lower face with his long arms.

The black smoke obscured both of their visions.

Neither the Golden Dragon nor Yohō could tell where the other was.

They could only wait for the smoke to dissipate.

"..."

Whoosh.

Then, at that moment—

"So naive~"

The familiar, sharp tone whispered in their ears.

It came quickly, as if she had sent it directly to them.

"?!!!"

In a panic, they turned their heads. But the smoke had not yet cleared, and nothing was visible.

What was that? Was it an illusion?

"Tch..."

A hiss of annoyance escaped her lips. The Golden Dragon clicked his tongue, his hands widening.

Once again, as before, he bent the walls and shaped the energy into spells.

Blue mana poured out. Dozens of magic circles appeared around them. Magic circles with dragon patterns, wolf patterns, and phoenix patterns.

It started with reinforcement magic, then healing magic, attack magic, and trick magic—countless spells prepared for battle.

Rivera moved her body, scanning the area, ready for Yohō’s next move.

Whoosh.

Once again, the fox struck from behind.

When Rivera turned, the fox was gone. Only a white tail briefly appeared beyond the smoke.

Rivera scowled. Yohō’s laughter grew louder.

"Kahahaha!!"

That irritating laughter. The mix of the fox’s distinctive sounds blended into a truly maddening cacophony.

"Little dragon~ Little dragon. Why are you so angry~?"

"Wasn't it something you did out of politeness?"

Yohō danced playfully around, her voice a taunting melody. The sound, which should have been sweet, gratingly irritated Rivera’s ears.

It scraped against her nerves.

In a “you die, I die” mindset, Rivera unleashed the magic she had prepared.

Boom!!!

The ground shattered. The domain fractured without a crack in its surface.

The white dimension overlapped and shattered like glass fragments.

Rivera’s strike formed a small rainbow.

Yohō vanished. The domain crumbled.

When the smoke cleared, the view revealed a mansion filled with blood, and—

"He~ How’s that?"

The smiling fox stood over the fallen Golden Dragon.

"Kgh…!!"

"Did you enjoy it~?"

Yohō stepped on the Golden Dragon’s body, pressing down.

Drip, drip.

Blood flowed from his abdomen.

Yohō, with a wicked grin, spread her seven tails and pressed the wounds harder.

"Unfortunately, it's game over~."

***

Meanwhile, Keyal returned to the inn. As he sat in a chair, his eyes began to grow increasingly anxious.

"This... this is..."

Keyal stared into the air. Sharp spears of light filled his vision, creating dense, cluttered text.

The look of someone witnessing the unbelievable—Keyal’s pupils trembled.

[System Warning!!]

The prolonged warning sound repeatedly blasts through Keyal’s ears.

Unconsciously, he kneels down, instinctively covering his ears.

[System Warning!!] [System Warning!!] [System Warning!!] [System Warning!!] [System Warning!!]

Keyal’s brow furrows.

"Master? Are you okay…?!"

Elena hurriedly approaches, hesitating as she checks on his condition.

But Elena has no idea what’s going on. The system is visible only to Keyal.

Keyal waves his palm through the air. He forces a faint smile, biting his lip, trying to appear fine.

Behind him, Reina, also startled, sweats profusely as she anxiously watches her master.

Reina reaches out.

Of course, Reina’s hand never reaches him.

Elena summons spirits. The spirit of wind and the spirit of earth appear before them.

"Please, check on my master’s condition!!"

Both spirits hesitate, surprised by Elena’s pleading attitude. The wind spirit tilts its head in confusion.

The earth spirit lifts its arms in a gesture of not knowing. The earth spirit questions in silence.

Did Elna eat something bad today?I wonder~

The two spirits chatter. They’ve been friends for centuries. The elf from the forest, Elena. Or rather, "Elna," as they fondly call her, was like their family.

What’s this? Are they being threatened? They feel uneasy, but it was Elena’s request. The request of the forest’s queen, no less.

Reluctantly, they agreed.

The wind spirit glances at Keyal.

If he dies, Elna will be sad again.

Upon realizing that, the two spirits, floating in the sky, began to move.

The wind spirit blows healing winds onto Keyal’s body.

The earth spirit gathers life force and begins rubbing Keyal’s forehead.

Rub rub~

"Ugh...!!"

The status window disappears. Still, Keyal remains slumped on the floor, groaning.

‘...Damn. This is bad.’
