Possessing Nothing

< Reunion-4 >

I eat. I feed. His face was still thin, but she raised her hand to point to the food she wanted to eat one by one. Every time, Lee Sung-min stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed the food, and carefully put it into Ji Ho-yeon's mouth. To tell you the truth, there was no need for this. It was because he was a master who was able to spread the offerings freely.

But it didn't open. I didn't even think about it. I thought time... was flowing very slowly. No, it's flowing fast. I didn't know. The sensation itself seemed to be broken. My chest kept beating and my fingertips were trembling. I caught the tremor and made fun of the chopsticks, and occasionally I met Ji Ho-yeon.

“What are you snooping about? ”

Ji Ho-yeon smiled and said. Lee was embarrassed for no reason, so he coughed. Friends. Admiration. Purpose. The words that come to mind in the name of Wiji Hoenn come to mind.

“You look funny when you eat what you give. ”

“Is that so? I'm comfortable and I like it. ”

Ji Ho-yeon said that and licked her lips with her tongue out.

“There you go. I ate too much. I can't even move properly, but I don't want to get fat eating like a pig. ”

I recalled the weight of my shoulder. I don't think gaining weight here will make a difference. Seong-min also put down her chopsticks because she was quite full.

“Drink. You want a drink? ”

“And you?"

“I'd like a drink. ”

Ji Ho-yeon smiled. However, Lee Sung-min immediately shook his head.

“No. I don't feel so good either. ”

“What I'm going through is not a disease, it's a curse. Drinking doesn't make it any worse. ”

“Still...”

“Let me have a drink. ”

Ji Ho-yeon reached out and said so. A thin trembling hand grabs the bottle on the table.

“I ruined the day I had hoped for 10 years ago. I've shown you this shame. I'm... depressed, too. ”

It was like getting hit in the head with a hammer. Seongmin later realized that she had not thought at all about W. Hoenn's heart. Ji Ho-yeon remembered by Lee Sung-min was strong in pride. Ji Ho-yeon looked so weak, and saved her life with the help of Lee Sung-min. It would have hurt W. Hoenn's pride greatly, even if he did not tolerate it.

Lee Seong-min hesitated and opened her lips. I was going to say I'm sorry. In the end, he did not spit it out, but kept his mouth shut. It was because I thought it might hurt him to say that.

“Fool. ”

When Lee Sung-min dragged the bottle into the bulk, Wijiho-yeon smiled. Ji Ho-yeon was holding a glass. Lee Sung-min poured the wine slowly into Ji Ho-yeon's cup.

“I've never had a drink with you before. ”

Ji Ho-yeon said in a dazed voice.

“No... this is the first time I've ever had a drink alone with someone else. Yes. I made you the first of many...”

I hear her mumbling like that. His helpless voice and pale eyes seemed to show how weak Wei Ji Ho-yeon was. Honestly, it didn't make sense for Lee Sung-min to be so weak. No matter how powerful the curse may be, it can weaken Wiji Hoenn so much that he will reach transcendence beyond the pinnacle.

[You are ignorant of the curse.]

Heju mutters.

[If conditions are met, spells and curses are more powerful than magic. Maybe a spell that powerful wasn't enough. The cursed drunkard must be struggling, too.]

Such words did not comfort Lee Sung-min. Is there no way to break the curse? When I asked him that, he was annoyed.

[Son of a bitch. I told you, to lift the curse, you have to kill the drunkard. Or the drunkard lifts the curse. I'm not a shaman, so why are you asking me?]

‘Cause you pretended to know. ’

[I didn't pretend to know, I told you, you son of a bitch.]

Lee Sung-min shared a drink with Ji Ho-yeon, ignoring the empty language. Wijiho-yeon looked like she was going to sleep with her eyes closed, but she stayed calm and continued talking.

It was a story of how Weijihoyen had been for 10 years. Where you did it, what you saw. Lee Sung-min quietly listened to Ji Ho-yeon's story. She traveled in so many directions, seeing so much. He told me that he had met an elf in the deep forest, and that it was not a dungeon, but an ancient ruin, a hidden cilantro, and a wizard who was wandering… W. Hoyen continued to tell me about her 10 years.

“It's all gone. ”

Ji Ho-yeon's eyes turned towards Lee Sung-min.

“That's weird. There were a lot of interesting ones, but they didn't connect very deeply. Why? Strangely... I didn't like the idea of 'I want to'. ”

It was strange. A childhood encounter, a memory. No matter how rich it is, 10 years is a long time. During that decade, she met many people, but did not interact with any of them. For Wei Ji Ho-yeon, the only person who was a comrade was Lee Sung-min who met as a child 10 years ago.

“Was it because I thought one of you was enough? ”

He said that and laughed in a split voice. As the story continued, Wijihoyen's voice became smaller. The glass she said she wanted to drink was barely empty. Lee Sung-min reached out and grabbed Wei Ji Ho-yeon's shoulder.

“Get some more sleep. ”

“I'm fine.”

“I'm not okay to watch. ”

“Are you worried about me? ”

That's what Ji Ho-yeon asked. It wasn't something I said because I was hurt by my pride. Ji Ho-yeon's eyes, looking at Lee Sung-min, seemed to be genuinely curious about it. Lee slowly nodded his head. Then, Ji Ho-yeon laughed.

“I can't worry about that. ”

Wijiho-yeon mumbled so loudly and approached Lee Sung-min on his knees. Then, I laid my head on Lee's thigh without asking permission.

“... because you'll be with me when I wake up. ”

After saying that, Ji Ho-yeon closed her eyes. And shortly after, I fell asleep screaming. Lee Sung-min felt a complex emotion as he looked down at W. Ho-yeon's face. It's because I heard about the Heavenly External Heaven and the Six Tiger from Guangcheon Ma, but I never thought I would get involved with them this way. Lee Sung-min looked down for a while and raised her up as she fell asleep.

“I'll show you to your room. ”

After coming down the octagon, the Counselor, who was waiting, bowed his head and said. Lee Sung-min followed the benefits to the cabin behind the mansion.

“Call the acolyte if you need anything. ”

Seong-min put W. Ho-yeon on a big bed. She tucked in the blanket and covered up W. Hoenn, while Lee was thinking. It is impossible for W. Hoenn to lift the curse if he does not have good faith right away. Then you have no choice but to kill the cursed drunkard instead.

The problem is that the scholar, Wijihoyen, did not have the authority to fight three days and nights. The six sons of the heavenly realm were superhumans in transcendence, and Lee Hyeong-min had not yet entered that realm.

[That authority won't be fine either.]

Heju said.

[As I said before, a drunkard has to sacrifice a lot to keep this kind of curse. Maybe he's not as fortunate as that bitch.]

‘Even so. I don't know where he is. Besides... Touching him means battling the foreign skies. ’

Six transcendental superhumans gathered here. Transcendence is considered to be the best that can be reached through a shameless body. The only known unmanned Transcendent is Safa, the leader of the Wudang battalion in the sect.

They are human and not human. A Wudang battalion leader seems to be alive, but he's beating his hand at the things he's doing. If you are a former leader, you are already several generations old, and you can treat the old masters who are now active as blood. Although the tetrarch is in the runner's seat, there is no apparent action. This time, Lee was greatly surprised that the Sovereign Lord told him to protect W. Hoenn himself.

Even in this vast world, a world where many live, the transcendental unarmed end is both. Hematomas ruled the north because they did not care about the far and narrow north, but it was not uncommon for a master of Hematomas. Two of the most transcendent of the two masters stand at the top of each Faction of the Crescent and Safa, but they do not move.

‘It's far...’

Lee Sung-min stands on the high axis, even at the very edge of the supernatural. The iron armor spear oppressed by Lee Sung-min was a renowned master, and if you compare it, it will be about half the size of a vampire. Peak, pinnacle, transcendence. As they say, it's not that easy to distinguish between them. At the same time, there are many gaps, and there are some things called phases.

But there is something obvious. The Ultimate Master cannot defeat the Ultimate Master. The difference in 'divisiveness’ does not mean that no matter how hard you try, you can jump. Aside from being transcended, Lee Sung-min can't kill the authority to strike the curse on Wei Ji Ho-yeon.

The six masters of the transcendental world, which are only two known in the world, are the six members of the exorbitant kingdom. Lee Sung-min chewed his lower lip well. When I was a Class C mercenary in my past life, I didn't even know this world existed. I thought I'd come a long way, but when I saw how high and rough the mountain I had to climb, I felt like I knew.

[If the line height changes, the landscape will change.]

Heju is dying. Lee's eyes are closed, empathetic to the words.

The door opens in less than an hour. Lee Sung-min who was closing his eyes and tidying up his thoughts looked back at the open door. Surprise-faced miners and rubia stand just beyond the door.

“Are you here?”

Lee Sung-min slowly got up and asked. GwangcheonMa let out a low groan as she watched as she lay on the bed.

“What the hell happened? ”

“There was a problem with the Muslim blind. ”

Starting with that, Lee explained what he was going through. The miner, who was listening to the story, said with a nonsense face.

“Is it okay for the city's guards to try and kill people while blaming their guard duty? ”

“There's a difference between using a landscape in the middle of the city and fighting outside the gates. ”

Rubia pouts and replies.

“Even though she's neutral, Cron is close, and her breath is stronger. Even if an armored spear in the outskirts decides to kill a man, it will only be punishable by a Cotton Bat. ”

“Then isn't this place dangerous, too? ”

“This is the center of Rubes. And a private office. I don't think there will be much danger if the poachers protect me...”

Rubia's tail is blurred without conviction. We haven't decided what to do in the future, but we decided to take a look at Ji Ho-yeon's condition first. Lee Sung-min left Wijiho-yeon who was asleep and left the room.

“Tell this to the Horseman in the Red Tower. ”

I sent the acolyte a request with the letter I just wrote. The servant nodded his head and disappeared out of Lee's sight. Scarlet, the Red Horseman, has a knack for spells. Shortly after, the servant returns with a message that he cannot deliver because the Horseman is absent.

I also asked Neville. I put a question in the shaman's guild, but they also answered the same question. He said he had to kill a drunkard to break a curse this strong.

Wijiho-yeon fell asleep with a choking sound. As the sun was setting, Lee Sung-min sat next to Wijiho-yeon and looked out the window. The red sunset that the sun drew was beautiful. Promise after 10 years, one of the goals I've been looking forward to supporting Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min closed his eyes and opened his eyes.

“How do I meet the heavenly bodies? ”

Lee Sung-min muttered with a grave voice. He sighed.

“… I would have told you. The carcasses of the heavens are transcendent monsters. ”

“You said you were defeated by the Sword of the Six. What if I meet the Sword again? ”

“I'm not sure I'm going to win. But it won't be as vain as it was 10 years ago. ”

“Six sons are transcendent monsters. And yet you want to fight? ”

“I'm not afraid. ”

“I'm the same. I'm not afraid.”

Lee Sung-min grinned and grabbed her wrist.

“I want to meet him, because I have to. ”
