Gumiho's hair, along with her eyes, began glowing with an ethereal pink. Another tail unfurled behind her, and her feet left the ground as she rose higher than the arena, standing above all.
Hundreds of plum blossoms flew around her, covering her body like clothes.
The fox spirit that had emerged from the zade box bent her knees, bowing in the presence of true sovereign.
My ghostly presence, which was tied to Gumiho, involuntarily followed her into the air.
What truly amazed me at that time was the sight beyond the arena: hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the streets. Although such an enormous crowd should have thrown the entire city into chaos, the city was utterly mute.
The children bowed. The adults bowed. The elderly bowed. Bowed the commoners, the nobles bowed.
The Goddess of all Beasts had awakened. Who would dare raise their head in the presence of divinity?
I was awestruck. No words left my mouth. My mind was fully mesmerized in that one in a lifetime moment.
