Possessing Nothing

< Sleeping Forest-2 >

97.

Hefty rushes in. He makes a right to think he knows everything about Lee, just because he doesn't feel any other danger from Lee Sung-min. It was fatal, but the current term was unknown.

Lee Sung-min reached behind his back and grabbed the spear. When I looked forward at the drawn window, Lee was already right in front of Lee. He shot down at Lee Sung-min's body with a big fist like a rock.

As he tried to smash his fist from the crown, Lee took a few steps back. It was faster for Lee to move than for his fist to fall. Lee took hold of it with one hand and turned the window that was holding it in front of him outside. Lan's arm is caught in the rotation.

Boss!

There was a terrible sound. Heghan did not know what was happening to his body. However, I only saw my right arm, which was wrapped in loose muscles - spraying blood and flying away.

“They say you're deaf. ”

Lee Sung-min muttered. Even though he tore out his right arm completely, his expression was indifferent. I couldn't feel the words in his eyes.

“So tell me a story...”

“Grrrrrgh!”

Heavy breathing heavily swallowed him. He chews his lower teeth with his face cut open by the pain. Then he twisted his body a lot, wielding the remaining left fist. The prowling machinery surrounding the fist proved to be an arch beyond the walls of the climax.

However, the hardship of living for Lee Sung-min did not become that great. Lee Sung-min lifted his spear while kicking his tongue.

It happened so fast. An unseen, rapidly stretched prick pierces through the left shoulder of the settlement. The heavy man flies back before the screams and crashes into the tree. The shocked tree, or a monster in the shape of a tree, opens its mouth and tries to chew its body.

“Shhh!”

A big, bitten back screams. Lee Seong-min looked at it and went forward. Kuromaru yells behind his back.

“Boo, please! Save the Elder!”

In that shout, Lee Sung-min looked back. Kuromaru hurriedly adds to Lee Sung-min who is tilting his head.

“Now, if you spare the Elder's life... I'll tell you everything I know. ”

I wrote on the floor with the window that Lee Sung-min was holding.

That's odd. He tried to kill you, didn't he?

“Even so... He's like a teacher to me. ”

In fact, he didn't have to listen to Kuromaru here. Even if the elder died, he was confident that he could hear the answer he wanted by beating Kuromaru.

But Seong-min did what Kuromaru asked. He pulls out the elder body that was chewed out by the tree monster and stops the wound from bleeding. Kuromaru stared frightened at Lee Sung-min with a bandage on his right arm. The elder has already fainted and is not moving.

Now let's just talk.

Seong-min wrote on the bottom.

Kuromaru had eaten the elixir to resist the noble name, so he asked Lee to 'tell me everything’ rather than writing it down. Thanks to this, the story was one-sided.

Kuromaru chatted, and Lee Sung-min listened.

The dead man's name was Hayato. Hayato said he had been like a brother to Kuromaru since childhood, but that was not his concern. It was not rational to kill Hayato.

His name is Nobuhiro. He was a teacher who taught Khuromaru and Hayato shamanism in their childhood. However, he was not an immediate disciple.

‘They're all Japanese. ’

Eria summons the Inheritor on all levels. Since there are not only Koreans on Earth, people from Japan or China, including Russians from the United States, will also be summoned to Eria. The so-called ‘Earth-born' aliens are mostly of no class.

Not all of them. Just like in Jonghyun Kim's case, there are times when people come from Earth and learn magical abilities and are summoned.

In a world without any allies, "country" brings a lot of compassion. Even at a different level, it was not uncommon for people from the same country to come together and build up power. Former Lee Sung-min also remembered a group named the Korean Marine Corps's Chosen Dragon Belt.

Kuromaru is a family that lives in a sleeping forest, and their family lives in this forest and seeks out their family's grievances.

A complaint?

Lee Sung-min wrote letters on the bottom. Kuromaru hesitates for a moment and glances at Nobuhiro, who collapsed. Seeing the frightened eyes, Lee Sung-min laughed.

If I'm afraid of the big guy, should I just kill him?

“Oh, no. No, you don't have to do that. ”

Kuromaru shakes his head in horror.

“My clan's grudge is to see the end of this forest. ”

Kuromaru replies: The end of the forest. Lee Sung-min tilted his head as he frowned.

What's at the end of this forest?

“That... I don't know. All I know about him is the family heir. ”

Are you saying you don't even know and follow him?

“Well... we were born and raised in this forest. I've been told since childhood that we have to mourn our families, and that's what everyone in the village says. ”

Kuromaru didn't know about the rain. Lee Sung-min wanted to torture me, but he quit because it didn't mean anything. If you want to gather information through torture, you'd better do it to Nobuhiro, who is down there, rather than Kuromaru.

Do you know Envirus?

“Who is it? ”

Kuromaru opened his eyes and asked again. In the end, it was not so much what Lee gained from this conversation. Lee Seong-min left Kuromaru and approached Nobuhiro.

Nobuhiro opened his eyes as he patted his cheek a few times. He opened his mouth, shouted and lifted his head, and then as he pressed his shoulders down with Changjun, his head rested on the floor screaming again.

“Do you know Envirus? ”

Lee Sung-min looked down at Nobuhiro and asked. Nobuhiro stared at Lee Sung-min while distorting his face due to the torn pain of his arms. At that moment, Nobuhiro thought a lot. Even in the village and in the clan, he was teased like a child. I never thought that there would be anyone else who could do this except the household owner.

“Envy... Envirus...? ”

“Did you know? ”

“I don't know...! ”

“What is this grudge your clan seeks? What's at the end of this forest? ”

“Do you think I'll tell you that...! ”

“Hmm."

Lee Sung-min looked down at Nobuhiro with a shivering expression. Lee Seong-min turned to look at Nobuhiro for a while and approached Kuromaru.

Where is your village?

“Th-that's...”

“Kuromaru! What are you doing?! ”

Kuromaru groans and Nobuhiro shouts. Lee looked at Kuromaru, ignoring the words. Kuromaru chewed his lips as he looked into the eyes of a disgruntled person.

“The town...”

Kuromaru opens his mouth, and Nobuhiro shouts and gets up. He fled for the village rather than the fear of rationality. I pushed him to the edge of the maelstrom. Pump! The spear circled in Lee Sung-min's hand. A spear shot from behind the shoulder pierces Nobuhiro's head.

Kuromaru opened his mouth as he watched the elders of the village who had taught shamanism as a child explode and die. A mixture of fear and anger.

I had no choice.

Lee Sung-min wrote on the floor as he excused himself. The content was an excuse, but not a face. Kuromaru was genuinely afraid of rational people.

“Ah... I'll show you. ”

Kuromaru stammers.

I felt like I was taking an envoy.

Kuromaru felt that his gait was sagging. As a matter of fact, Kuromaru's next steps were much slower than usual. It was because of the rational person walking behind Kuromaru's back. Lee did not threaten Kuromaru, nor blamed Kuromaru for walking late.

Even so, taking such a strong master to the village voluntarily was troubling Kuromaru. The dead Hayato and Nobuhiro continue to float in my head. Shouldn't I have died like that?

‘No. If I died, he would have gone to the village. ’

I'm sure it was. Kuromaru made such excuses about the wavering heart.

Following Kuromaru, Lee Sung-min was lost in thought. There aren't many Kuromaru clans. It is said to be a village, but it has fewer than 100 people. Until the previous generations of Kuromarine, the village was maintained as an intimate crossing, and as the genetic disease began with repeated incentives, the village was maintained as a way to kidnap the opponent from outside.

‘I don't know why we should do that. ’

Lee sincerely thought so. A reason to stay in the village while you kidnap your in-laws and kidnap your in-laws and live in this no-man's sleep forest. For how many generations would it be so great to indulge in such a grudge if it was to fulfill the grudge of their clan?

‘I've never heard of these families in my past life. I've never heard of a sleeping forest. ’

When Lee Sung-min doesn't come to this forest, it will be. Then, what happens when Lee Sung-min comes to this forest? Is it because of the existence of Lee Sung-min that something different has happened in the past life as it has been so far?

‘It's none of my business. ’

When Holy Father Dowager died, and the sword was killed. Lee thought a lot. A man who didn't have to die because of his own existence. Everything is getting tangled up because of me. Denire also said that the existence of the heterosexual is disrupting the original flow.

I've thought a lot for 2100 years.

The conclusion was reached.

Whatever the world was, it was none of your business.

What was important to Lee Sung-min was himself.

“We… have arrived. ”

Kuromaru said in a small voice.

The entrance to the town was protected by some kind of crude carpentry. It looks like a garden for the villagers to survive beyond the wooden fence. I had a fence, but I didn't see the men guarding it. Lee Seong-min took a step back and pondered for a moment.

I thought about it too long. No, to be precise, he didn't feel the consequences of his worries and the need to do so.

Phew!

An arrow from afar pierces Kuromaru's neck. Kuromaru vomits blood from his mouth as he hisses. He staggers and takes a few steps back, trying to say something, but he dies without being able to spit. I felt a fatality and knew an attack was coming. But Lee didn't tell Kuromaru.

It was because Seongmin didn't have to protect Kuromaru. The only reason he protected Kuromaru was because he had something to hear from Kuromaru.

“I heard they're from the same clan. ”

Lee Sung-min took out his spear, speaking with a grave face. I was a little curious. What kind of grudge do people in villages so hostile to outsiders want to achieve? And why Envirus came to these woods.

‘I hope I can be rewarded for all the hard work I've done to get here. ’

Lee Sung-min thought so and raised his self-defense.
