Possessing Nothing

< Predator-2 >

Until we get out of town. Lee Sung-min was attacked five times. In the ongoing raid, Lee Seong-min did not suffer a small wound.

All the attackers are Lycanslopes, among them, Wear Wolf.

‘Earrings.’

It reminds me of the name of the tribe the innkeeper mentioned before he died. The Moorish tribe is ruling this area. If you look at what you are doing, you will see that Safa Moonfile, but I have never heard of the tribe of Sungmin in my previous life called the Dragon Gate. The raiders weren't very skilled, but the strong flesh of Lycanslope makes them more powerful than the level of the Unsullied.

“How long are you going to keep coming? ”

At the end of the town, Lee Sung-min lowers his spear and asks. In front of Lee Sung-min, Lycanslope had his legs cut off. He took a hard breath and raised his mind, and Lee Sung-min pushed the snow wind with his hands and asked again.

“I'm not going to fight you if you don't. So why don't we just get on with it? ”

“Bullshit.”

The man spits.

“We've been humiliated like this, and now we're quitting? Nonsense...! ”

“You're the ones who came first. ”

“You caused a commotion in the village we rule. ”

Lee Sung-min laughed because he was exhausted. Distraction? Is that what it is? Distraction. Does that mean they should have just been poisoned?

“We never forget a grudge. Even if you leave here, the gate will chase you down and kill you. Wolves are home...”

Sung-min no longer listened to him. I bounced off the spear with my bare hands. Phew! The pile of eyes blooms red. Lee Seong-min checked the man's death and moved forward again.

“Soon it will be night. ”

Rubia advised me.

“Vampires and Lycanslopes are the quintessential extroverts and nightgoers. ”

[That's what most exogenous species do.]

Heju adds a grumpy voice.

[Those who become monsters, not humans, receive the beauty of the night and the moon. Stronger and scarier. Is it full moon today?]

“No, I'm not.”

[That's a relief. This is gonna be a real pain in the ass.]

“… I don't think that's the best way to put it. Their skills are far from those of Lee Sung-min. It's not the night of the full moon, but just because it's night, I don't think they'll be strong enough to threaten you...”

[They do not fear death.]

Heju laughs. Lee did not react. In the silence of Lee Sung-min, Heju continued to say.

[Vampire and Lycanslope. They build sub-objects with one rod. The stronger the rod's force, the stronger the individual's strength resulting from it.]

“... the Blood of the Clan. It's also called the Clan.”

[Title doesn't matter. Remember when I didn't recommend being a vampire and Lycanslope?]

“I cannot disobey Lord. That's why I didn't recommend it. I didn't mean to be. ”

[Yes. Vampires and Lycanslopes have an absolute bond. In order to get out of control of the roads, we need to reserve the power to completely overpower them. But it's not gonna be easy. As long as you're a member of the bloodline, everything is controlled and exposed to the roads.]

Hearing that story, Lee Sung-min remembered the sword. Kim Jong-hyun, the Black Wizard who was chasing after the sword with Lee Sung-min at that time, saw the sword and said, 'Vampire feud is low.’ Perhaps it was Lord who turned the sword into a vampire, to ward off the supreme master of swords.

[Roads are involved with the Clan in various places. Loyalty, in particular, symbolizes the strength of the road. Not even death has frightened you of death among the Wear Wolfs. It's not a fear branded loyalty, it's a fear branded loyalty. I don't know what Lord is leading them, but he's not an easy opponent.]

After Heju said so, I was curious about what kind of person Lee Sung-min's tattoo was. Lee Sung-min summoned Nebbel to ask for information about the gate and left the village completely while Nebbel was retrieving the information.

[Do not go into the mountains.]

Near the village, there were not high snow mountains. Even if Heju didn't say so, he had no intention of going into the mountain. I don't know much about Wear Wolf, but they're a mix of humans and beasts. In a place called "mountains," animals are more advantageous than humans.

Turn around the mountain to navigate. Travis is where he's headed. Soon after, I was able to get information from Nevel about the rattlesnake gate.

Gwang-Rang Gate is a Sapa Moon wave that dominates the area. It is not that powerful. It was influencing villages large and small, not cities to the north, including Trabia.

The characteristic is that the power belonging to the rattle gate is the wear wolf. He said that he is the master who is in charge of the door, and he rarely does any foreign activities.

This does not mean that there is no information about the attendant.

‘Predator.’

After knowing the tangled information, Lee Sung-min frowned.

Predator. It was human and became inhuman. A group of monsters close to the apex, especially within a ferocious, powerful, exogenous species. Lee Sung-min pressed his temples. Although Lee Sung-min in his past life didn't even know their existence, rather than the rumors about the Predator, the information passed on to Lee Sung-min now contained information about the Predator.

[Bad luck.]

Heju mutters, and so does Rubia. She is agitated with a noticeably pale face.

“... Are they dangerous? ”

“Is that what you call it?! ”

Rubia squawks and screams.

“Predator is a group of monsters that are invisible to the sun, but have absolute power in the pitch. I can't believe that door was connected to that Predator...! ”

“There was no information that the owner of the door belonged to the Predator. I just said there was a possibility of a connection. ”

[Predator's dangerous.]

Heju chuckles and laughs. Because it seemed like he knew about Predator, Lee Sung-min asked about them. Then Heju smiled and replied.

[External things live a long time. They've lived longer than Humans since they gave up Humans.They were around 400 years ago.]

‘... Were you in Predator, too? ’

Didn't I tell you? This monster is an outsider, a Demihuman, and a monster. The births of monsters vary. As for this old man, he didn't belong to the Predator because he didn't keep his roots human. But we know they're dangerous.]

“… because of me. I'm sorry."

Rubia mutters, her ears sagging. None of this would have happened if you hadn't gone into town. Rubia seems to think so. However, Lee Sung-min shook his head to the left and to the right.

“This area around here is the territory of the rattlegate. Even if I hadn't stopped by the village, I would have been in trouble if I had passed this area. ”

“That's right."

I hear voices from a distance. Lee Seong-min fixed her face and looked at the direction of the sound. The violent snow winds block your sight and the sound of the wind engulfs your hearing. Lee Seong-min opened her senses. Over the buzzing wind, over the swirling eyes.

There is a man standing beyond it. He was dressed in thick fur that matched the cold. Lee Sung-min grabbed the spear silently. With just a glance, the man was preaching beastly aggression.

Joo-won.

The mantra of the noble gate. The man did not introduce himself. However, Lee Sung-min was confident that he would be the owner of the door. If a monster like that is not a doodle, who can sit in the doodle?

“If I hadn't stopped by that village, I'd have caught a guy as good as you. Touch it, and you'll think about it. So... who are you? ”

It was a long distance, but I could hear the master's voice clearly.

“Lee Sung-min.”

“I've heard that name a lot... I remember it. So you're the nobleman. I am the master.”

The principal clatters his head and mutters. Unlike the ferocious eyes, his voice was low and the horse was dull. The attendant started walking. By taking a few steps, the principal came over the snow wind and approached Lee Sung-min's neighborhood.

“I hear the earrings are sweet. ”

This may sound a little strange, but the attendant looked tired. No, I thought it was more likely that you looked ridiculous than that. The werewolves that Lee Sung-min had seen so far were all shapes that looked strong, but the owner was not that big. However, the gleaming eyes inside the shriveled eyes contained an unimaginably intense light.

“You don't seem very friendly to me at all. What can I say... That doesn't mean Safa. Rather, it looks like patience. ”

Is it because of the residual energy? Lee Seong-min touched the window behind his back and looked at him. He scratched his chin and thought for a moment.

“Do you know what I'm thinking? ”

“I don't know.”

“That's what I'm thinking, whether to kill you. ”

He replied without changing his face. Lee Sung-min knew that the word was not just a threat. Outside of humans, the werewolf, who may have lived for hundreds of years, had an unpredictable power.

[You changed your name.]

Heju mutters. He didn't even ask for it, but the barding gives you relief. Joo-won frowns at the rising ominous force.

“I'm used to it...”

[The Vagabond.]

The air roars. The barnacle's haunted voice conveys to the attendant. The name ‘Vagabond’ caused the master's shoulders to twitch.

“… Haha! ”

The master burst into laughter.

“An unforgettable force. Heju. I heard he died 400 years ago...”

[It was sealed.]

“Where's your body? Is it embedded in your armor? ”

[I don't know where my body is. Maybe it's gone.]

“You're in a bad position.... What did you show up to say? ”

The attendant blinked his eyes and asked.

[I don't want to fight for no reason. It's not that we don't know each other, it's not that big of a deal.]

“So you want me to let you go? ”

[Yes.]

The expression on the master's face was strange. He frowned and glanced at Lee Sung-min and the fickle force.

“... I guess 400 years is a long time. I never thought I'd hear that from Heju...”

[You may refuse if you wish to fight.]

Heju has laid out his bluff. The attendant thought for a moment, then shakes his head.

“No. Like you said, we don't know each other, so let's pretend this never happened. A few werewolves died, but not a big loss. ”

He turns away, leaving behind the words. Taking a few steps, the principal left. Rubia hides behind Lee Sung-min's back, unable to speak a word. She vomits heavily. Lee asked, holding the spear down.

“Would I have lost if I fought? ”

[I don't know what the wind is blowing at the gate. Master... No, the Vagabonds are the biggest monsters in Lycanslope. I'm part of the Predator. There's nothing to fight for.]

“… Haha! ”

Listening to Hesitant words, Lee Sung-min burst into laughter. An earring gate. A mid-sized safa that has never been heard from, and the owner of that safa is one of the Predators and one of the Lycanslopes' most famous monsters. Death would have to be prepared to strike down the Lord.

‘Yes, the world is wide. ’

Lee Seong-min turned away thinking that way. He heads in the opposite direction from where he left off. In this wide world, there were still many strong men who were more than Lee Sung-min even though they had reached their peak. Lee Seong-min had more fun than complaining about it. It made Lee enjoyable that there were more paths to go than facing a huge wall.

‘North.’

A land occupied by outsiders and witches. Who is the nobleman you can meet there? Lee wiped his sweaty hands on the clothing collar. I was confronted with the Master... with a sweat I had thrown away.

‘Let's pretend it never happened.’ He kept his word. There was no attack by the Wear Wolfs while crossing the snow. Although several villages are visible, Rubia doesn't say to stop by because of her previous experience.

Thanks to you, I was also homeless today. Lee Sung-min skillfully dug a hole in the snow and went into it.

He closes his eyes, crouching away from the sound of the wind.
