Possessing Nothing

That's it. I don't want to die. Do not die. There is no reason not to die now. Already, here. You can't die. Lee Sung-min hears Scarlet's warning shout from a very long distance. He grabs the spear and lowers.

Eine's rule was immature. Eine was able to spread all the shamans she had learned, but that didn't mean that she could spread them as skillfully as she had. He had the same memory and level, but he was unfamiliar with the law.

It was Eine's battle law to cover such immaturity with immense magical power and anomalies through physical changes. If Scarlet hadn't helped, Lee Sung-min would have already been killed by Eine.

No, maybe now.

The tentacles are touching. I didn't have enough power to release Aine's attack on Lan and myself. I can hear it in my ears. After forgetting to breathe, Lee Seong-min ran forward. The tentacle that grazed my head was turned upside down. The user senses an attack coming from behind the back.

Immortal transplant, monogamous. Shadows dance. Lee Sung-min's body painted a mural. Shoots a single second cholera at the same rate as the Charging Speed.

Aine did not avoid. The naked body with the crust takes Lee Sung-min's spear. Tsk! With a dull sound, the spear trembles in Lee's hands. The spear couldn't pierce Eine's body even after blowing through the air like that.

I can't afford to put more force into my spear. Lee Lee moved his feet as he recovered both hands that shot out the spear. When I left the space as Ilbo Young-young, Eine's fist just hit where Lee was standing.

A very small mistake is not tolerated. Just like the ogre chimera, no, worse. In response to the attack by the ogre chimera, we were able to spare some time, but we were not able to spare any of the current rational people. I couldn't afford to be free in the first place.

‘If Scarlet hadn't been here. ’

How powerless you are. I realized that… in Preskan's dungeon. How insignificant it is to be the ultimate master. How insignificant he was when he thought the larvae were naked, even though he didn't want to be a cicada.

The opponent is a monster like that.

Even if you have a heart like Lee's, it is not compared to Lee's. A monster that killed Zeon and drove Lloyd to his death.

‘Can I do it? ’

Against Xeon, Corona's mercenary commander? Or against Lloyd?

By thinking about it, what changes and what gains.

I wanted to see the end of nothing.

That's what I thought. Even when he came out of the mountain of the Mesh, he was deluded by the idea that Lee Sung-min had become the savior of the lonely "nothing." By wrapping yourself up in luck and fate to replace a humble talent, and effort on such topics. Yes, that's what Lee Sung-min did back then.

But for now.

Weakness of its own. If it's W. Hoenn, it's the Saxony. Thinking about it from someone else's point of view, instead of "me," I finally gave up on escaping and trying. I want to see the end of nothingness. I want to try. Depending on the topic I decided to train myself, I tried to cross a wall I wouldn't be able to cross.

Without trying to break through the wall, without trying to jump over yourself.

Because I knew the reality. Before going to sleep, Lee Sung-min said that to himself a few times. It was easy to carry out quests, but it was a Class S quest. Your skills have not improved, nor have your achievements increased. You cannot be rewarded for your hard work outside of Mesh Mountain. So I ran away, about the effort. In the training of the shaman.

So die.

Kuang! Lee Seong-min's body rolled over the ground. The barding covering Lee Sung-min's body was acting as an excellent piece of armor even though he had lost his original ability. That was fortunate. If it weren't for barding, it wouldn't have ended up like this.

Even so, the wound was severe. Even if it is not exposed, the internal injuries are quite heavy. Aine dives into the crowd, and Scarlet casts a spell to stop Aine.

Loud noises, rumbling and bitter insides, the bitter taste in your mouth, the throbbing headache, the beating heart. Lee Seong-min took a deep breath and woke up. My left side is sore. From being beaten, from rolling, maybe both.

One night it was close and the surroundings were dark. Scarlet's magic was remarkable for Lee Sung-min, an outsider in his field. Every time Scarlet's hand sweeps through the air, unknown characters embroider it. And magic is born, and it explodes.

Seeing that, Lee Sung-min felt the bitterness in his mouth was like poison. Springing under the soles of their tongues became a concentrated poison, not a saliva. No. I hate myself for being powerless. Lee Sung-min shook his foot.

‘I am.’

I had to change. I wanted to change. I knew that changing "me" changed the world. I learned it in the mountains of Mesh. At that time, Lee Sung-min clearly changed. It was different from the previous isomer, the one before entering the mountain of the mesh.

Some, yes, commonly referred to as "geniuses," will easily do everything. Moving forward, changing. Every step a genius takes will be like a few, or dozen, steps a killer takes.

Geniuses who are not geniuses must continue to walk. One realization is not enough. How many times do I have to keep on realizing?

About yourself. Know the reality. You need to know how different reality is from the ideals you had in mind.

‘I know.'

Stick to the idea of dropping. I know, I know. Hold the spear with your loosened grip. I know it's pointless. I know it's insignificant. I know you're not a genius. And I know that the "change" that I felt and experienced wasn't that great. I also know that you're a fool for giving up and despairing too easily on a wall that confronted military themes like a preacher, wanting to see the end of nothing.

I'm looking up high on that subject.

The anomaly is too high.

I want too much.

In self-loathing, Lee Sung-min quietly walked. Even though Scarlet is an exceptional wizard, her spellbinding is an unfinished magic. Thanks to this, the efficiency of Magic Power Consumption is not very good. The spellbinding of the blunt force and the yielding was a valid offensive against the magical immunity of Eine.

But the decision was too short. The firepower that Scarlet's ‘now’ was able to draw was too short to make a victory decision. Eines with ridiculous regenerative power were not lacking to say they were the ultimate life. She tries to heal, heal, and recuperate her wounds and drive Scarlet away.

Lee Sung-min saw it.

In disgusting self-loathing, overwhelmed by his own helplessness. I don't like it.That kind of refusal makes people move. I don't want Scarlet to die. I don't want to die either. There's a reason not to die.

It hasn't changed.

Aine leaps towards Scarlet and senses a sharpness behind her back. It was a shallow attack, no matter how much I ignored it, but Eine turned around. What troubled Eine in the first place was not the existence of Scarlet, but the existence of Lee.

Eine doesn't know who he is. I didn't like it, and it bothered me. Eine knew very little about how to solve these problems, so she only tried to give her own rational answer.

If you kill him, it's over. Seeing Lee Sung-min pull out his spear, Aine smiled, revealing her teeth. Light and slow attacks. No problem getting hit barefoot.

In fact, it was. In her lightly twisted hand, Lee Sung-min's spear shook up badly. The elbow joint creaks because the grip is torn and the elbow joint does not overcome the force. I instinctively shake Aine's hand, aiming for empty breasts, to avoid those sharp nails. Kaga! With a sharp iron screech, the barding around your side cuts off. Blood spills from the wound on the side of the cut thinly. If it had been cut a little deeper, the viscera might have flowed.

There is no peace of mind. Eine was a predator and Lee was a prey. A predator tries to make fun of the prey. There is no play and fights between rabbits and tigers. No matter how desperate a rabbit is, if a tiger gets hit in the front foot with a prank, he will die.

Lee Seong-min ran like a rabbit. Maybe it's better to call them fleas than rabbits. I ran to survive, avoiding the violence of Eine. The restless foot tramples on the foot of the immortal soul, and in between, the squeaking arm is forced to move and stretches out the nine-thousandfold spear. Scarlet was no longer able to support her. She breathes her breath and refines her magic. She only sees her with eyes mixed with complex emotions.

Even if she runs away, she won't blame her. But Scarlet wasn't planning on running. She was seriously considering whether to use her last number or not.

Of course, Lee Sung-min didn't know that. I had no time to get to know him. Kuaang! Eine's kick pushes Lee's body back. I almost sat down because my legs were loose, but Lee Sung-min barely managed to fall down. Black blood flowed between my tightly closed lower lips. She laughed and laughed. The hand that changed its shape was large and sharp.

The spear is heavy.

It was a weight I had felt for a long time. I haven't felt a heavy spear since I got off the mountain. My body is heavy. So is this. The throbbing eardrums give off a murmuring noise, and the nostrils flutter.

Die.

Is this the end of me? You don't meet Wijihoen, you don't get the Saxony, you get Scarlet killed for no reason. Sudden death, as always. There is still internal air left in the disconnect. It's not worth it. Lee Sung-min endured the feeling of wanting to smile and pulled out the inner air. Turn... the jigsaw ball around. I turn inside out, watching Aine run, but not yet. I don't think it's time to die yet.

Because it can still move.

Not many people will be able to take death lightly. If you are a fool, you don't want to die. Even a fool cannot stand in front of death. Most people do what they have to do to not die. There were many reasons not to die, and it became a myth to move people.

There was no one here who could save Lee Sung-min. There is no Wijiho-yeon, there is no Saxony. There is no Lloyd. I have to do it to survive. You shouldn't lean on someone. Just as I have changed and the world has changed, all subjects are with me.

I felt a little clearer in my head.

Scarlet puts an end to his worries. When I think about it, there are only two answers she can give. Run. Fight. Escaping was an exception to Scarlet in the first place. Nevertheless, I was thinking about it simply because it was a waste.

But I couldn't deal with it in this situation. Scarlet kicks his tongue and puts his hand inside his chest. It was that moment.

The purple smoke swelled in Lee Sung-min's window. She instinctively knew that it was dangerous, stopped running immediately and opened her distance from the rational people.

The puff of smoke is wrapped around it. It became a floating light, not a faint smoke. No, it looked like a raging flame. Aine who had never seen such a light opened her mouth halfway and opened her eyes wide. Lee Sung-min was so pale with blood, he glanced down at the purple flame that wrapped around his spear.

I thought I wanted to cry.

When I shot the spear in front of me. The movement of the window was not a nine-thousandth pole. It was Ranachal's Charles, whom Lee Sung-min trained the most. Yeah, it was a simple stabbing. It was not a quick stab, but Eine could no longer ignore it. She reacts with a stiff face. A hand covered in crust approaches to block the window.

The crust splits apart as soon as the spear touches. Eine's palm is pierced before the metal blade pierces. There was no need for speed or strength to do so. The unbroken spear pierces Aine's right shoulder.

Aine screams. She did not know the pain, but the pain now was foreign. Wounds won't regenerate. Aine turns a sharp scream into a shout and swings her left hand. Lee took a half-step back and rotated the window by Lan's technique.

The left arm of the spinning Eine is torn apart. This process did not require much strength. Scarlet stiffens as he puts his hand inside his chest, and Eine's eyes flutter in awe. Lee didn't have complex thoughts. He attacks Aine again with Ranachal's technique, and a frightened girl twists her torso. The splintered side of my skin was stolen and split, and I spilled blood.

“Ah, ah, it hurts! ”

Aine screams. She wanted to cover the wound, but she no longer had both hands. Aine leaps forward and backwards. Then he started running without hesitation. Lee Seong-min moved his feet to chase Aine, but he could not take a few steps and sat down. My head was spinning and blood was flowing from my nose. Scarlet rushed to Lee, not chasing Aine.

“… Ah. ”

Seong-min did not see a distant child. I just looked at my own window that I haven't put down yet. The flame that surrounded the spear no longer existed.

“I did it.”

Lee Sung-min muttered while placing a fading ritual.

What Lee just did was strong.
