Possessing Nothing

The Black Heart? What is this? "

Lee Sung-min was greatly embarrassed and looked down at his body. There is no change to the body wrapped around the barding. The irritating heartbeat that was in my ears sank quietly, and I was unconscious as usual. However, there was a sense of otherness in the corner of my chest that was filled with something disgusting. Lee took a deep breath while pressing his left chest with his hand.

Lee first opened the status window. I don't know what the ‘Black Heart’ is, but I thought I could see it in the status window since I heard it just like I did when I learned my skill.

It was as I thought.

- The black heart.

Rich Prescan's ultimate wish.

The problem was this. The skill visible in the status window was too vague to describe, as were the other skills. It is said that this is the ultimate complaint that Prescan wanted, but what is it and what is the ultimate complaint? Lee Sung-min's impression of Rich and Prescan was that he was a crazy person who said he wanted to have children rather than be a woman.

“L-Lloyd? ”

Lee Sung-min hesitated and called Lloyd. Lloyd asked Lee to destroy the heart, but he took the heart he had to destroy unintentionally. Lee Sung-min called Lloyd, feeling embarrassed.

“Lloyd?"

But Lloyd didn't answer. Lee was furious and approached Lloyd. Lloyd, who was down, is not moving. Lee looked at Lloyd's pulse in a hurry.

Luckily, Lloyd was unconscious, not dead. The wound that I thought was serious was not that bad. No, that's what was going on. Lee strung out his tongue as he saw Lloyd's wounds regenerating at visible speed.

Lee stopped for a moment because he thought of grabbing Lloyd's head while trying to rebuild his body. Lee Seong-min turned around and approached Zeon.

Was it sudden death? Zeon's eyes were opened. Lee took a short sigh and reached for the face of Zeon. After closing Zeon's eyes with his hesitant hands, Lee Sung-min searched Zeon's arms.

A little bag of cloth is in your hand. Lee Sung-min carefully pulled it out. It was a pocket the size of the palm of your hand, but you opened the entrance and put your hand in, and it slipped right up to your arm.

I looked inside and found some loose items in my hands. Lee grabbed one of them and pulled out his hand.

‘Vaccine Rights.’

That's what it said in the old book. The moment I saw it, Lee Sung-min's heart thumped. Vaccine was one of the most famous laws that come to mind when it came to Shaolin, and it was the neogenetics that Zeon had learned.

While we're at it, let's dig a little deeper so we can get some more paperwork out. Lee was amazed by the moon drinking method that he took out and looking down on me. It was all the feasts of Shaolin. As a rational person who had mastered the art of self-immolation, I was not greedy for the law of moonshine and the law of me, but I was greedy for immunity. It was because I thought there was nothing wrong with being familiar with the law for situations where I could not swing a spear.

‘You won't be able to afford to learn properly...’

However, if you are familiar with it, you can use it in times of emergency. However, he couldn't learn it right away, so he put three blank papers in his sub-space pocket. Then I searched Zeon's sub-space pocket again.

Two jukeboxes. One of them was familiar to the eye. It was the armor that Zeon showed when he tried to bring Lee Sung-min into the Corona mercenaries. Lee Sung-min opened his collar while swallowing a gulp.

The Summoning Society, the Elixir of Vision of Shaolin, was laid still. Lee Sung-min was so excited that he wanted to dance, but he pressed that impulse and opened another armor.

The clear fragrance that was pushed through Lee's nose. It was a red stone a little larger than a summoning squad. Great Bandit. I had never seen the great Bandit before, but I didn't doubt it because it was the great Bandit. Lee closed his armor with trembling hands and put them in his subspace pocket.

“… don't be so grumpy. Wouldn't it be better for someone to take care of it than to leave it like this? ”

After mumbling that way to dead Zeon, Seong-min searched the body of Zeon a little more. Unfortunately, I haven't picked up anything other than the subspace pockets. After taking Zeon's sub-space pocket, Lee searched the bodies of the other mercenaries and stored their sub-space pockets.

After taking what was to be taken, Lee Sung-min supported Lloyd's body. Then I found a way out of the dungeon. The bodies of Zeon and other mercenaries remained. The original idea was to recover the bodies of the dead by finding large subspace pockets from Bern or another mercenary, but this didn't go as planned. It's because there were no other mercenaries left but Zeon and the mercenaries who became Mira.

Eventually, Lee went up the stairs carrying the bodies of the mercenaries who became Zeon and Mira along with Lloyd.

Although it was a shame I couldn't get the other artifacts of the dungeon, I even took the secret of Shaolin to the Great Cloaks and Summoners, so I couldn't say it was a loss.

The sun was setting when I came out of the dungeon. He entered the dungeon before noon, so it was more than half a day later. Lee sighed and glanced at Lloyd on his back. Lloyd is unconscious with even breathing.

Luckily, we left the dungeons and wagons and horses nearby, so going back is not a big problem. The wagons who were resting were frightened to see Lee Sung-min return with the fainted Lloyd and the dead bodies, but once he explained the situation roughly, he convinced them.

“Let's go back to Behenger. ”

Lee said that with a tired voice. I spent half the day in the dungeon, but... too much has happened. My head seemed to get tangled with thoughts and explode.

In the rattling wagon, Lee Sung-min decided to clear up the facts she had learned in the dungeon. I took out my notebook that I always had in my arms and grabbed a pen.

1. The existence of a twisted causation rate exists other than me. I don't know who he is, but it seems that Rich, who was so powerful, was more than super-strong, considering he had the guts to do something about it.

2. I have something other than a twisted causation rate. Kim Jong-hyun knows something about him, but he can't tell me. The creature Rich called upon refused to accept me as a sacrifice.

2-1. But Mesh and Nevel are greedy for my soul. We don't know what the difference is between Rich and the Mesh and Nevel.

2-2. After returning, I have been receiving strange favors from people around me.

3. Barding in my past life has turned three mercenaries into top mercenaries, but I am not feeling any change.

4. I got a black heart, but I don't know what it is.

5. Lloyd, who was supposed to be dead, lived. Lloyd has decided to return the favor, but he doesn't know what to expect. All the other mercenaries are dead besides me. I got the secret of the Great Bandit, Summoning Bandit, and Shaolin from Xeon.

Seongmin continued to look at the writings she wrote. Writing down complex thoughts calmed my mind. The problem is that you can't answer any of them in writing like this.

Is there something in the stones of your past life? ’

Lee Sung-min frowned and thought. When I grabbed a stone in my previous life, it was not great. I thought it was just a stone, and then I died not long after that.

Lee felt fortunate that he knew something that could give an answer such as barding or a black heart.

It was a long night when I arrived in Behenger. Seong-min immediately returned to the mercenary guild and reported about the incident that occurred in the dungeon. As proof of this, I put down the bodies of the mercenaries who became Zeon and Mira.

“Gee, what happened to the guild leader? ”

When Bern left, the middle-aged mercenary in charge of the guild leader urgently asked. Class S mercenary, Jo. I've seen it a few times to get to know my face, but I wasn't that close with Lee Sung-min.

“Dead.”

Bern's death was bitter and grieving to the rational. Bern was quite favorable to Lee Sung-min.

“N-no way. ”

“I'll explain the details later. ”

“What? Where are you going?" What could be more urgent...! ”

“Lloyd, the tower of the Golden Horse, has been injured. I was able to save my life because Lloyd appeared in the Black Wizard's Dungeon and drove the Black Wizard out of the dungeon. In the process, Lloyd was severely injured. ”

“The tower of the golden tower...? Are you sure? ”

Contrast's eyes opened wide. If you are the Tower of Gold, you are in a much higher rank than the Guild Master of Behenger Mercenaries. In the first place, the Horse Tower was considered a special place within the Wizard's Guild. The Wizard's Guild, the Tower of Horses, meant that the Wizards' Guild had great skills and reputation within ten fingers, so it was no wonder that contrast was frightened.

“Yes. So I'd like to take you to the Wizard's Guild first...”

“... Then... there's nothing I can do. I see.”

Eventually, contrast had to bend the attitude. Contrast looks bitter, looking at Zeon's corpse on the wagon.

“I can't believe Zeon, the head of Corona Mercenary Corps... I can't believe she's gonna die like this. Bern... Phew! ”

Lee Sung-min held Lloyd on his back after holding back a sighing contrast. The Wizard's Guild was nearby with the Mercenary Guild, so it didn't take long to move.

The guild was overturned after Lee Sung-min took Lloyd to visit the Wizard's Guild. It was enough to shake the Wizard's Guild of Behenger that Lloyd, the golden steed, was injured and carried away. It was already late at night, but the wizards in the Wizard's Guild tried to find a way to recover Lloyd while moving around.

“Don't overreact.”

Scarlet grumbles. Lee Sung-min, who was leaning against the wall, gave a slight burial to all of Scarlet.

“Looks like the wound has already regenerated. I just fainted because I was running out of magic. You'll be able to see quite a bit of magic when you get back. ”

“Then there's no need for treatment. ”

“Yes, it is. But you still need to show me how. You have to act like you're busy. Later, when that great golden horse master opens his eyes, he'll be embarrassed. ”

Scarlet giggles and laughs. With the attitude conveyed from speaking, Scarlet didn't seem to like being a ‘matchmaker.’

“Don't all wizards respect the Horseman? ”

“What respect. I don't like old people called Horse Riders that much. Those old men are full of secrets. No disciples. They don't share the magic they've learned and the knowledge they've learned with others. ”

It was strange to hear that from Scarlet, the owner of the Red Tower, after he founded the Lesser School in the next few years. People will change, but what will happen to Scarlet over the next few years?

“You... have better armor than that. Where'd you get that? ”

“… I happened to have an opportunity. ”

“I heard you lost all the other mercenaries.... Lucky me. If you were dead, your dreams would be fierce. ”

“Are you worried about me? ”

“The kid's making a grouchy sound. It's only natural to feel dirty when someone you know dies. ”

Scarlet grunts and grabs Lee's head.

“I thought it was noisy at night. ”

When he heard a familiar voice, he looked back.

Kim Jong-hyeon, wearing a white robe, stood yawning.
