Possessing Nothing

< Forest of Temptation -3 >

The first thing to respond to the scream was the Namgongheewon. He had already made his way out of the fire before the long screams ended. A little later, the Ghost stirred up his body while shaking his face. What surprised me was that neither Dang-a-hee nor any other unauthorized people. Aladur ripped out his hair as if he knew what to do.

Soon after arriving at the source of the scream, Nam Gong-hee stands firm. The squatting clerk quickly looked at Nam Gong-hee Won and polished his clothes. However, his face was pale, and his pulling hand was less trembling and did not work. Namgong-hee-won took off the packaging and threw it to the recruiter without looking at the accepted side. The recruiter hesitated and took him to cover his body.

“What's going on?! ”

Ghost Jegal and the other Sega's unaccounted for have arrived. The Ghost Jegal looked at the recruiter who was covering his body with Namgongheewon's clothes. Irritation and anger rose above concern. I was angry that I did something wrong and made my husband ashamed of himself.

“Hey, there...! ”

On behalf of the mouthpiece, Dang Ahhee opened her mouth and lifted her finger. The direction she pointed was across the seat where the clerk sat. Something shifts faintly beyond the bush, where there is no light.

I didn't see it wrong. When everyone saw it, and it was seen by everyone. It became a monstrosity-shaped monster with a clearer outline.

“Monster!”

The Egyptian prey shouted. He was surprised, but not terrified. He leaps to the ground and swings his sword at the body of the shivering monster. Shya-ahh! A sharp slash awakens the beast.

‘No...? ’

The corpse of the beast was dismayed. I cut it, but I didn't feel ‘cut’ at all. He hurriedly pulled his foot back and moved his body backwards. The rest of the cultivated monsters are shaken and put together again. It shifted back from the appearance of a hideous monster to an unknown mass of smoke.

“Stand down!”

Aladur shouts in a hurry. In this area, the expert was Aladur, a shaman, not a Muslim with the skills to kill people. Aladur moves his black hand and puts it in his chest. A moment later, what he took out was a closed image of ⁄ 2. The statue did not make the Buddha appear, but Aladur carefully stretched it out with both hands. Aladur sweeps his lips and casts a spell. Then the two eyes of the statue flashed.

Caaaah! The screeching, creaking statue opens its mouth and screams sharply. Then the shaking smoke burst and scattered.

“What the... what was that? ”

Nam-guiwon, who was watching it all, carefully asked. Aladur takes a deep breath and replies.

“It's a ghost. ”

“Evil spirit...? ”

“I'm sure you've all heard the stories of ghosts from your childhood. That's literally a demon. Or rather, an edict... The spirit that died in this forest has become evil because of the power of the forest, without going where it needs to go. ”

Speaking of which, Aladoor's legs relax and he sits down.

“Don't be surprised by this. Those kinds of demons don't have that much power. If you keep your head straight, you won't be haunted by evil spirits. Well... It's not always like that. ”

Aladur's face is gloomy. Among them are powerful spirits. He easily destroys the human mind and takes away the human body.

“I can't help it if it's a powerful spirit. I've learned an exorcism. It's a sham. So... Please stay focused. If you lose your mind, no matter how strong your body is, you can be taken over by a vicious spirit. ”

Aladoor exclaims. He chewed his lower lip. Although Zegalsetga is famous not only for her work without her work, but also for her truthfulness and knowledge, she was unfortunately not very good at anything other than her work. I've never felt so uncomfortable about it before. After all, the zegalse family in Eria is very strong. The most important thing is to be a free man.

‘I should have brought my uncle. ’

It's too late for that now. The call of that cataclysmic uncle means that Lee will come up to help, and if he wants to go back to the Zechariah, it will take more than a week.

“Stand up.”

Jegal-tae stared at the mouthpiece and spit it out. The recruiter stumbles in his fierce gaze. When the Ghost saw the recruiter standing, he turned away. Recruiting clerks felt like such a vulgar gesture, but they could not blame it. She took off the wrapping she was wearing and handed it over to the Southern Palace.

“… Thank you. ”

“I'm fine.”

Namgongheewon replied, looking down. With the Ghost in front, the other unacceptable return to the void. Namgongheewon returned the Swordsman to Aladoor first, then reached out to him who was still seated.

“... I want to apologize for moving on earlier. ”

“You speak louder. The prestigious Sworddragon of the Southern Palace. Should I be honored to know this? ”

Aladoor is dead, but the Namgongheewan is not unpleasant. Aladur stood up holding the hand of Nam, seeing that he was surprised.

“If there's a shaman here who's better than you, can you help us break through these woods?" ”

“If only you'd come... but no one would have said yes. Shamans know the dangers of this forest better than anyone. ”

“... Phew! ”

He sighed as if he had no choice. Then, a boy in a black suit jumped up from under the feet of Nam Hwang Hee Won.

“You wanted to see me?”

“Huff!”

Aladur sounds surprised. He ignored Aladoor like that and spoke to the boy.

“I'd like to enter the Forest of Temptation right now and get a shaman to assist us. ”

“Just a moment, please? ”

The boy hid himself. Aladur, who opened his mouth, muttered as he looked at the Southern Palace.

“… I see. Sworddragon, were you a member of Erebria...”

“Do you know them? ”

“I've only heard the name. An intermediary guild with intermediaries who appear like ghosts everywhere in the world. My teacher had contact with Erebria, but refused to connect with them. I'm surprised you're a member of Erebrisa... but perhaps none of the shamans they connect will come to the Forest of Temptation. They're connected to Erebria for profit, so if they don't, they don't move. ”

“I can give you as much money as you want. ”

“Khh! Money is cool, but that doesn't make it universal. It's impossible to live with money. If I hadn't been caught by that bastard, I never would have come to these woods. ”

Namgongheewon did not blame Aladur for insulting the Ghost of Jegal. The reason I disliked the dead child was because the Southern Palace was also the same. After a while, the broker showed up.

“I'm sorry. I've asked the shamans nearby, but they all say it's the Forest of Temptation and refuse to study." ”

“Hahaha!”

Aladur laughs loudly as he listens to the broker.

“Look. What did I tell you? ”

Aladoor said as if he knew it.

When the recruiter saw the evil spirit, there was a small commotion. Lee Sung-min, the miner, and Rubia were also seeing evil spirits. Rubia swallows her breath as she watches the shivering spirit beyond the campfire and the miner frowns.

[What a trivial catch. Never mind.]

Heju said, "Lee Sung-min has turned his back on the shaking spirit in the dark." I keep looking at it, and it sounds like a murmur in my ears that I don't know the meaning of, but it doesn't bring any unpleasantness to the people. These noises have become accustomed to the mountains of the Mesh. When I lived in a white and white world for 2100 years, I have seen even more than this in photophobia, which I have visited many times.

The demonic body that receives Lee Sung-min's gaze trembles. The twisted, twisted, demonic body shifts. Lee Sung-min's eyes narrowed. It seemed like the noise in my ears was getting clearer.

"This... page..."

That was the sentence with the rattling sound. Lee Sung-min's eyes opened wide. Not only did I hear that sound, but I also heard a drink connected by reason and spirit.

[What? The evil spirit...?]

Most demons cannot speak. It is because those who are already dead and bound to their souls are the dead, and they are the only ones who lose their minds and remain evil. As a demonic spirit, I can find reason if I become more aggressive, but the demonic spirit that Heju sees is unpleasant.

What's he up to? ’

[I don't know... It's impossible for the general to talk. Why don't you take a look?]

I had no choice but to say it because I couldn't be sure of anything even if I was hungry. Lee Sung-min cautiously got up. With sharp senses, Lee Sung-min was able to clearly discern things in the dark, but he caught a torch.

“You don't have to. ”

Rubia grunts. Rubia uses magic to make a small sphere of light. In the end, relying on two lights, Lee Sung-min, Rubia, and the miners approached the evil spirit. Despite this, Lee Sung-min did not place a boundary line. It was hard to defeat an unclean spirit by physical means, but he had already advised Huzhou that it was not unresponsive at all.

"This way…"

The demonic murmur became more apparent. The spirit turned away when it saw Lee Sung-min approaching. Then he started to move, sliding the ground. Lee Sung-min's group follows the evil spirit's path.

The forest was more ominous than during the day. The entangled branches looked like the face of the devil, and the sound of the woods shaking and making sounded like a mixture of clouds.

The spirit moves forward, though slow. Lee, Lee, Kwang-thong Ma and Rubia seemed to be circling the same spot, but it was repeated several times. Whoa! The air flow changes and the faint landscape becomes clearer in the darkness.

[This is…]

Surprise mingles with the voices of the forgetful. Lee looked around. The faint lights were hovering around Lee Sung-min. It looked different from the firecrackers I had seen in the sleeping forest when I first met Heju.

[No way...!]

With that shout, Heju swells his presence. The barding that Lee Sung-min was wearing emitted a meaningless light, and a figure of illusion appeared from his body. Although it was a blurry figure made of force, Vaughn dragged the body and grabbed both arms.

─ Paan!

The power of distraction dissipates. Hundreds of thousands of soot fires that I saw in the sleeping forest were scattered around and haunted by demons.

‘Ah...’

‘Oh…’

Demons stammer and spit out elasticity. They raise their hands in prayer, squeezing their heads together. Lee Sung-min and Guangcheon watched the situation with their mouths half open. Soon after, the scattered torches returned to Lee Sung-min.

[Copy.]

I was excited by the voices of the forgetfulness.

[This forest has been transformed by the strength of this old man. It took a lot of time to become separate from this old man, but some of them are still connected to this old man. And these demons are being influenced by him and are being repaid to this old man!]

It has been 400 years, but the influence of the idleness that ruled this land in the past has not completely dissipated. Lee Sung-min turned to the demons who were tightening his head and asked.

“Are you saying they can help? ”

[Of course! They're part of this forest, so they're not affected by the forest barrier. They can find their way freely in these woods, where they'll be endlessly wandering and dying.]

The voices of the voices of the voices were mixed with the screeching dam. He opens his chest with pride.

[Hahaha! It's been 400 years since I died, but I can't believe you're still this influential. Isn't he great?]

“Uh-huh. ”

Lee Sung-min nodded his head with a shivering expression. It's because I didn't think the evil spirit would guide me.

But it wasn't a bad thing. It was because the shaman and the guide were not dying in this forest who were reluctant to enter.
