Desire

You look at the lake, and what shouldn't be there is spread out before Azin's eyes. Azin's face distorted. He tugs his foot back. But the space did not change. The lake was still open before his eyes, and the Desknights were nowhere to be seen.

‘No. ’

Not yet. Not yet. Despite killing the Alcadions, the Frostfangs and the Dumbbells and inheriting their power, he was not yet confident that he could look upon the Queen. Desknight, Rich, Banshee. I wasn't even sure it was possible to defeat the remaining three chiefs and absorb their power.

We need to retreat here. We don't know why we're standing in front of the lake, but we don't stand a chance against Azin now. Unless you've brought other races with you. The Vampires, Lycanslopes and Durahan were pushed into the Meat Shield.

That was the moment I thought of. Azin's eyes saw a small house built near the lake. It was an old house. Ajin had never lived in it. The house where Azin lived in Celebrity was worn out, but it still had enough status to call it a mansion. But the lake house was different. Selbrid, a rural village, used to be a farmhouse. It resembled it.

The old house seemed to see a wide picture to match the dark-bitten lake. Ajin looked at the house with a dazzled face. Who's in that house? It had nothing to ask, nothing to think about.

The steps that were bitten back and forth unwittingly forward, looking forward to this day for over a year. I've waited over a year for this to happen, hoping to see Persian again. Every day, I prayed to Adim and trained him. When I came here today, I wanted to meet Persian and get her out of these woods.

“... until...! ”

My teeth are clenched. Not yet. I decided calmly. There is no victory. I am not confident in defeating the Queen. So, step back for now. Defeat the other chiefs first.

Thought about retreating, but it was Azin's wish. There was a ripple on the surface of the lake. A huge, overwhelming presence of something like that has invaded the space. Azin's body trembles. He stares at the lake with a stiff face. Azin wanted to retreat.

Not the queen. The queen of the forest rises in the middle of the lake. She stands on top of the lake, staring at Azin. In front of Azin was the Queen's nature, not the purple star that was the Avatar.

Ajin first saw the nature of Verdinger Selgerounia, the queen of the forest. She was beautiful, elegant and... amazing. Azin felt the boiling of his stomach as he saw the queen wrapped in the darkness of the night. I wanted to look down, and I felt like I wanted to kneel. The queen was more absolute than any creature she had ever seen. Surrender is more natural than resistance, and when I confronted it, I could only imagine myself on my knees and losing.

“I've never seen this body before. ”

The queen smiled and said. Azin barely feels the boiling defeat. I remember the first time I met Thousand Horses in Moorim. I felt dangerous just to face it, and I imagined defeat. The Queen gave Ajin that feeling, too.

I can't win.

“... I see. ”

Azin barely squeezed out his voice and replied. The humiliation didn't feel that way. Rather, it felt natural. The queen was like that, and Azin was like this. He braced his knee. Simply overwhelmed by existence. No matter how strong a human may be, if you see a tiger for the first time, you will be overwhelmed by a tiger.

It's something else. Ajin reaches out. He took a step. By doing so, he felt relieved. He straightens his lower back and looks at the queen. The queen looks at him and smiles brightly.

“Of course. You're different from other humans. ”

The queen admired it and said so. Azin grits his teeth and looks at the queen's face. We must retreat. There is no victory. Nothing, less than Ragi. But the queen will not let him go. Ajin was brought before the lake because the queen hoped for him, and this forest led him to it. Asin cannot escape from the queen unless she wishes so. At least in these woods, the queen is the law.

“... and Persian? ”

Azin asks, and the queen walks across the surface of the lake. Every time she walks, there's a ripple in the lake.

“It's in that house. She's sleeping. They won't know you're here. ”

The queen smiles, a wicked smile. Azin recalls a fairy tale tied to the forest. Sleeping beauty. In this case, should they be vampires? It was a bad idea, and no laughter came out. Azin clenches his fist.

“Will you let me meet him? ”

“No.”

The queen immediately replied. The answer is obvious. Ajin examines himself. The battle with the Desknights has diminished my internal skills a little, but it's no big deal. The decreased internal air was recovering rapidly. The same goes for health. Body fatigue, mental fatigue. No problem.

“.. will you let me go? ”

Azin once again asked. The question was ripped out of the queen's mouth and made her smile. Her eyes flash red.

“No.”

The lake is dark. An unstoppable intense presence enveloped the space. Ajin felt his skin tremble and tremble. I could feel the difference just by expressing my presence. Strengthened my feet. He doesn't take a step back. He wants to turn around, but Azin takes a step forward.

“Excellent.”

The queen sends her ballistics. She opens her arms slowly. The black dress wrapped around her body flutters, not even in the wind. The surface of the dark-bitten lake boils. Azin swallows his breath and clenches his fist firmly.

“You, human. Kneel."

The queen is troubled. Azin refuses her orders. He took another step forward, and the queen said again.

“Kneel down, put your forehead to the ground. Reach out and kiss your lips on the black dirt. And call upon my name, and bow down to me. ”

A red devil rises from behind Azin's back. Mixed with the Jinn Shrine, the devil bites black. The queen's smile grows.

“Praise and worship me. Bury awe in your heart and worship me. ”

You reach behind your fist. The queen's voice, as if to seduce her, was secret and sweet. Ignored. Not worth answering. His fist stretches backwards and his strength boils. Azin bites his teeth.

“I will make you my people. I will give you your lands and give you my next authority in these woods. Everything you want will be in your hands. ”

The queen's eyes flutter red. The surface of the dark wet lake boils. The bubbles burst and red drops rose into the air.

“Here, kneel down. ”

The queen said it was her last suggestion. The answer was fixed. Azin did not come to the Queen to surrender. What he wanted was plunder. No, it was to reclaim what had always been his.

So, there was no need to answer. Azin's fist widens. It was a great wall. So far, a great wall of pain has never been able to pierce through it. He thought he would do it again, but he was obsessed.

But it's stuck. Kuaang! The surface of the lake is shaken by the sound of the explosion. The black drops that came to my mind burst and scattered. The queen looks unharmed, smiling at the pain. The sparkling drops shoot towards Azin. Ajin plunges his extended fist into the ground. His body is shot at the queen, drawing a shadow.

And all of Azin's visions were pierced by the scattered drops of water. At first, through exploration, he feels that way, but he doesn't let his guard down. A different kind of person. It's called exploration, and if you lose your strength, this side will be eaten. The strength of the Jinn Shrine wraps around him. He twists and swings a whole chunk of strength.

The queen smiles and sees a mass of strength falling towards her. Phew! She doesn't see any movement, but the momentum agin wields is blocked by the transparent membrane. You swing that huge mass, but the lake doesn't shake. The queen reaches out.

The red light flashes before her eyes. Azin felt an instinctive crisis and twisted his body. A red beam emanates from her fingertips. Ajin recalls a story he had heard from the enemy in Moorish a long time ago.

The story of the whole Lycanslov family being beheaded for insubordination against the queen. Azin quickly twists his body. However, the Queen's beam of light did not miss Azin. It is a whip. The moment it touches the whip, Azin's self-defense fails. The Dragon's Brest was also devastated by the self-defensive force.

And Azin's wrist was wrapped around the whip. I tried to rush it out, but the moment I wrapped it around my whip, Azin's wrist was slit clean. Azin chews his lips watching the blood splatter. His body rolls over the ground. The severed wrists were immediately regenerated by the cardiac effects of the wolves of Azin.

“Too bad.”

The queen is troubled. The red whip hovers around her. The stalk of the whip is shaken beyond counting. Azin looks at the queen, touching the wrist that was cut off. It was cut once, but I felt no discomfort in the regenerated wrist.

“I wish you had surrendered. ”

The queen begins to walk on the surface of the lake. Every time she walks, the surface of the lake bursts and a drop of dark water embroiders the air. Every one of them was a weapon with unmistakable power. Gin Shrine is not enough. Azin had no choice but to admit it.

‘Please help me.'

Azin talks to the adim inside of him.

[If you want. But we don't stand a chance.]

Ahdim grumbled in a cold voice. He said he could not battle the Queen even if he brought the copy of Ahdim. The queen does not die, and neither does Adim.

[You slaughtered vampires and Lycanslopes close to immortals by feeding on their magic. But that ability of yours is hard to inflict on the spirit. The queen is not a spirit... but rather more difficult than a spirit.]

Toughness. The golden light of Azin's body is young. The gleaming golden eyes turn bright white. Azin felt the power of Ahdim filling his body.

[It's a battle with immortals. As long as you're not immortal, you're dead.]

The voice of Ahdim wandered through the mind of Ajin. I know such obvious stories without having to listen to them. I know how sparse this battle can be. Azin takes a deep breath and raises his bent body. The queen smiled brightly, looking at the white eyes of Azin.

“Adim.”

The queen is troubled. It sounds like calling out to an old friend who misses her. The end of the whip twitches like a rattling snake.
