Possessing Nothing

How much superiority can you gain by taking away the left eye?

No, don't think about dominance. Wounded monsters are frenzied. If you are relieved that you have become dominant, this side suffers a loss. The Ogre Chimera's blow is powerful enough to turn a person's body into blood at once.

Lee Sung-min, holding a new window, breathed and watched the Ogre's next move. The ogre blindfolded his left eye and stared at Lee Sung-min with only one eye left.

And when the Ogre's hand falls off. The left eye returns intact. Regeneration. It passed through the head of the rational mind. Yes. Ogres have powerful regenerative abilities. That's one of the reasons Ogres are the top predators. The regenerative power of a messy wound that quickly regenerates.

“It's a chimera!”

Ruth shouts from behind. Even if it is strong enough to regenerate your eyelids, it should be non-lethal, not regenerative. Nevertheless, the ogre regenerated its eyes, because it was not just an ogre, but a chimera.

‘You learned one thing. Not one wound. ’

Seong-min nodded slightly. I studied. I was fortunate to have fought the ogre for the first time, but also Chimera... I didn't feel overwhelmed that I hurt her.

What are we gonna do?

I see the Ogre's gaze that regenerated the wound. It was like laughing at me. Is this the best I can do? It was also the voice that resounded in Lee Sung-min's mind. The nightmares I had every day in the mountains of Mesh, the noises I heard in my ears, and the stench I smelled on my nose. And then...

The world bites dark. As if he had been given a golden eye. When it swallowed its breath, it was all gone. I see a forest, not a mountain. There is no noise in the ears. There is no stench in your nose. The world is not dark.

I'm not heavy.

Tsk.

A spear shoots out at the ogre's face. The ogre's head shifts sideways to avoid the window. The rational man who raised the window to the diagonal line swung the spear to his side as it was. Baaak! The chandelier slams the ogre's temple. It was an attack to provoke, not to kill.

That's what the ogre did. It was a painless attack, but getting punched in the face was offensive enough. An Ogre swung his fist and shot down at Lee Sung-min. Lee took a step back while changing the position of the hand holding the window, and turned the window around.

Lan, it's Charles.

There are three fundamentals of the method of creation. Charles is stabbing, Lan is a foreign currency. Lee turned the window outside. The ogre's fist touches Lee Sung-min's spear and swings at the turn.

Paoaoang!

With a loud bang, the ogre's arms bounce off. Ranachal. He swings dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times in a spear. The user flicks toward the chest, which cannot be blocked by the bounced arm. The ogre twists. The fingernails of the sharp left arm are about to cut through the spear.

I. Civil War. The moment the swirling spear hits the nail, the whole left arm of the ogre dries in. Lee took back the spear he stabbed and changed the position of the hand holding the spear.

And take it down. A diagonal spear hits the left knee joint of the ogre. No matter how hard the skin is, there's still a right place. A single stab pierces the skin and crushes the joints. The ogre's heavy body twists.

Pull out the pierced spear. The purple creep surrounds the windshield like a mist. How long will it take to regenerate a shattered joint with Ogre regeneration? Lee didn't care about him.

He moves to hunt the ogre thoroughly. The Pokémon flicks once more. An unbalanced ogre bends his arm, but his left leg can't support him, so his arm just cracks open the air.

Quadruck! The spear pierces the ogre's right knee. Lee Sung-min pierced the spear very deeply and stabbed it until his spear tore out the poplitude opposite the ogre's knee. And then I split the window.

No matter how powerful the regenerative force is, it would be first to pull out an abnormal window with a spear in the joint. Lee circled the separate windows. Changjun is used as a replacement for Changjun. You don't have enough sharpness, but you can replace it with your feet and feet.

The ogre's face is no longer ridiculed. The ogre first tries to pull out the spear in its knee. Nope. Lee Sung-min's body disappears outside the ogre's vision.

Although the ogre did not see reason, Ruth saw reason. Outside the Ogre's field of view, Lee Sung-min who moved to the left turns to the side of the Ogre. As the ogre reaches out his left hand and tries to pull out the spear in his knee, Lee, who returns to the left of the ogre, raises the spear in half.

Phew.

Changjun digs between his left arm and his left arm. I stabbed it deep and very deep this time. Changjun, who shredded his fragile armpit flesh, protrudes from his shoulders.

“Grrrgh!”

The ogre screams. It was a different scream than before. It hurts. Even if it has regenerative power, the pain is real. Lee Lee immediately pulled out a new window from the subspace pocket.

The ogre hasn't regenerated his leg's wounds yet. I couldn't get up. A spear exploded from Lee's hand. Changyoung danced like crazy. A lightning rod. Icho from the nine-thousandth pole is shot from the front of the ogre.

Battering did not pierce the ogre's body, but made it possible to fall back. The ogre's body falls back. The ogre struggled with his right arm, but the resistance was too slow for Lee to see. Too... slow.

I hear the sound of a cicada's cry.

That noise I heard on Mt. Mesh.

I didn't want to be a cicada. Lee Sung-min on the mountain may have been a caterpillar of a mammoth waiting to crouch deep underground and go to the ground, but what Lee meant was not a cicada. Crouching for a long time, coming out, crying, dying. I didn't want the life of that snail.

Then, what did Lee Sung-min want? What you wanted to be. I dreamed of becoming something other than a cicada.

I don't know

Lee could not answer the question on his own. Not a cicada... something else. I don't know what that is. What I wanted to do was pass over, what I wanted to keep, and what I wanted to see was the end of nothing.

I don't know what's at the end of it. Even if you spend the rest of your life, you might be able to reach it. But there was something obvious. I couldn't die. There's nothing you can do if you die. He cannot cross over, protect the Saxony, or see the end of nothing.

Death is meaningless. Lee Sung-min knew him well. He's already died once. From the end of that death... it will be impossible to return to the past again. Every human life has only one life. Lee was lucky twice, but there is no next time.

So I didn't want to leave any regrets.

You can't die here. Aigoo, don't let any monsters get in your way. If it was W. Hoyen, he would have killed a monster like this very easily. I thought I wanted to protect it, but it's absurd to think it's weaker than a Saxogo. If you want to cross Wijihoen, you have to look higher and go further.

Is there a deadly limit to nothing at the end of that path? A cicada is a way to go. Lee Sung-min is not a cicada. He may have been a larva on the mountain, but the current reason for leaving the mountain was something other than a cicada.

‘I am.’

Lee Seong-min approached the ogre. The fallen ogre can't get up and wriggles like a bug. Lee Sung-min gripped the spear with both hands, expressionlessly.

Tsk.

The spear fires. The spear burrowing for pointless resistance is a sharp 'charge’. Left eye, then right eye. There was no excitement. Lee Sung-min's mood was still. It was a strange feeling even for Lee Sung-min.

I expected to be proud, but I wasn't. Rather than being proud... I felt that 'of course I should do this’. Lud saw Lee's behavior in awe and silence. Lee Sung-min grabbed both eyes of the ogre and squeezed the window with both hands.

And several times, I lowered my window a few times. It was the neck of an ogre. It tears its skin. My tits are pierced. Blood bubbles rise from the ogre's mouth. Lee Sung-min, who pierced his neck, moved to the ogre's head. And I repeated shooting the window down again.

Not long ago, the ogre stopped. "Dead. Seeking the extreme of the species is Chimera's research." Chimera, who used the Ogre as a base, was in pursuit of a specimen called the Ogre... That's how she died.

“What are you...? ”

Ruth hesitates. Lee Sung-min, who was looking down on the ogre's corpse, replied by pulling out the spear that had been lodged between his glances.

“A person.”

“Are you kidding me? ”

“That's true. ”

Lee Sung-min smiled bitterly and replied. Lee Sung-min, who pulled out the spear, looked at Ruth and said,

“I need your help. I have to cut my head off... It's hard to cut my throat with a spear. ”

“No, I'll just take the whole thing. ”

Lud spits it out. He reaches out to Lee Sung-min, then opens the bag he was carrying on his back. What Ruth took out of the bag was a neck the size of a pair of fists.

“A dead ogre chimera is worth taking with it. We need to find out which mad wizard released the Ogre Chimera into the forest. ”

Lud drops a large wooden chest in front of the ogre corpse. Then the ogre's corpse was dragged into his throat.

“It must be a test of your skills, right? ”

Lee Sung-min asked. Ruth looks ridiculous for saying that.

“... Didn't you hear what I said? Ogre chimeras are Twin-Headed. I have to go back to the guild and investigate the details, but I think he was a Twin-Head-class monster. I have never heard of holding a Twin-Head as a skill test. You... You'll just get an S class, and maybe an SS class. ”

At Ruth's words, Lee Sung-min grinned. It felt good to be recognized for my skills. It is proven that the suffering on Mt. Mesh was not in vain.

“What kind of lunatic released an ogre chimera here? ”

Ruth grumbles. She has something on her mind. The Black Wizard's Dungeon. We don't even know the location of the Black Wizard's Dungeon. If I knew, I would have gone ahead and checked, but I didn't know the exact location.

Obviously, the Black Wizard's Dungeon will be discovered in the next half-year. An ogre chimera appearing outside the walls of Behenger. Chimera research is being done by a variety of wizards, but it seems appropriate for the Black Wizard to "go behind the scenes" in this way.

‘I see. There was no mention of catching ogre chimeras in a mercenary guild in my past life. ’

Maybe the Mercenary Guild ignored the Ogre Subjugation quest in their previous lives. But if that were the case, the ogre chimera would have raided the town. Lee Sung-min frowned, comparing his previous memory with his current one.

“What are you doing? Let's go back. ”

Ruth tapped him on the shoulder.

“Yes.”

Seong-min nodded his head.
