Possessing Nothing

The elf who took off with Lee Sung-min while he was strangled stumbles with a painful groan.

The elf was holding Lee Sung-min's wrist tightly with both hands to prevent the cervical spine from falling out.

Lee Sung-min glanced at the elf and realized the rapidly approaching arrow.

Swing the arm holding the elf, just in case.

As you bring the elf to the front of the arrow to use as an arrow barrier, the arrow rapidly twists and plunges into the air.

‘Spirits control the trajectory of arrows. ’

But not annoying. What I wanted to know was whether the direction of the arrow could change. I've already figured it out with the elf attack I'm holding on to.

You don't want to kill your own kind, do you? ’

This will work. Lee Sung-min naturally came up with that idea.

He falls on a nearby branch. Then the arrows that were hovering in the air poured down towards Lee Sung-min.

Lee Sung-min raised the elf's body up without hesitation. Then the arrows stopped in midair.

“First of all.”

Lee Sung-min's voice was not very loud. However, all the elves who attacked Lee Sung-min heard that low voice.

Arrowheads that stop in the air bend over. Lee Sung-min slowly lowered the elf's body down.

The arrows flinch and move forward a bit, and Seong-min sets his foot on the fallen elf's head.

Then the elf below struggles. Lee Seong-min turned his spear from his hand.

Kwaek!

Blunt Changjun chopped down the elf's thigh.

“Ugh!"

The elf screams. The arrowheads are no longer moving. What Lee was doing was so blatant.

Hostages.

Lee didn't feel a great sense of guilt about his actions.

There is no friendship with the Elves. Rather, for Lee Sung-min, they were just the first enemies to carry out a threatening attack without asking for a reason.

Of course, the first one to invade their territory was the isomeric side, but even so, it's too much to shoot the ultimate arrow.

“Let's talk face to face. ”

We already know where the Elves are by our wits.

However, Lee Sung-min said that and slowly twisted Changjun, who was chopping off an elf's thigh.

I thought about pulling out my teeth for a while. Stabbing the thighs with blunt Changjun didn't want to provoke the elves much.

Despite the situation, Lee Sung-min still didn't want to pretend to be with the Elves. I can't help it.

“Him……! Do you know what it means to treat Elves like this in this forest...? ”

“Let's shut up.”

The elf on Changjun's face made a voice, and Seong-min said that without changing his face.

He didn't just say that. The slaughtered flesh has made the elf white. The flesh that passes by licks your neck feels more frightened than the spear on your thigh.

Lee Sung-min waited for the Elves to react. The arrows above your head are still motionless, and you can't see the Elves firing at you.

I wonder if they're calling for reinforcements. When I thought about it, Seong-min raised the spear that was dipping her thigh again.

As the pain in the thigh subsided, the elf was relieved.

It was because I thought that Lee Sung-min had deteriorated his attitude. The idea of such an elf was the opposite of that of a rational person.

The spear circled again in Lee Sung-min's hand. A sharp spear pierces through the elf's thigh.

“Ahhhh!”

The elf screams. The arrows that stopped above your head tremble.

Lee Sung-min twisted the spear he shot with his expressionless face. The muscles tear and bone shatters with a murmuring sound. The elf scratches the floor with his hands and makes a cry.

“Why isn't it coming out? ”

Lee asked again. He raises an arrow above his head. The little wind spirits holding the arrows are restless.

Lee Sung-min's eyes move to the side while looking at the arrow. The assault force forces the arrows to move to the side.

The wind spirits falter over the pressure in the air that pushes the arrow and eventually run away with the arrow.

Lee Sung-min, who had the arrows under the control of the air, returned the arrows he had aimed at to the elf through the spear.

“One by one.”

Seong-min muttered.

Get it!

A falling arrow lodges itself in the elf's calf. The elf screams louder.

“Enough!”

A loud shout came from afar.

Elves hiding behind trees reveal themselves. It was as I read the pilot.

The four elves walk out, their faces distorted in anger. They glared at the protesters with arrows aimed at the Lee Sung-min.

“Let Fred go! ”

“Was your name Fred? ”

Lee Sung-min looked down at the crying elf and asked.

“Who the hell are you?! Why do you come into these woods and act like one? ”

“What's with the attitude. I haven't done anything yet, but you were the ones who attacked me first. ”

“You were the one who invaded our realm first……. ”

“Endless. ”

Lee Sung-min muttered in a small voice. I didn't want to obstruct myself. Lee Sung-min puts his spear deep into Fred's thigh.

The entire branch is pierced and Fred screams. The spear will not be drawn unless the leg is cut off.

Then, Lee Sung-min shot arrows at the elves, holding them captive. The elves protrude upward, terrified.

Lee Seong-min's body was firm and accelerated.

Although there was quite a distance between the elves, Lee Sung-min's speed was so fast that the elves under the protection of the forest couldn't be caught.

Puebuck!

Four elves rolled the ground almost simultaneously. Lee Sung-min stepped down in the middle of the crowded elves and glanced at the elves who were moaning and grinning.

The elves' bodies recede, and Lee Sung-min returns to Fred.

“I don't want to lose you and your kind. ”

Lee Seong-min occupied the Elves' bloodline. The immovable elves look at Lee Sung-min with trembling eyes.

Lee Sung-min pulled out a spear from Fred's thigh and poured a little elixir into it. The wound was boiled and regenerated.

“If you attack me, I must attack you. Let's make sure of that first. ”

Isoamine noted Fred's hematology.

“I have no intention of killing you. I don't want to hurt you any more. Do you understand?”

“What nonsense……. ”

“All you have to do is nod. ”

The elf's words are cut off.

“I'll ask the questions, and all you have to do is answer. First of all, where is your village? ”

“You think you'll tell me...! ”

“A few days ago, a man came into these woods. The man with the sword. Who is he? Are you in your village? ”

“I don't know……! ”

“Your village... is a trained elf. I mean, I don't know if they use that name in these woods. Do you have an Elf by the name of authority? ”

“I'm not saying anything! ”

“That doesn't make any sense. ”

Lee Sung-min grumbled and scolded Fred. Fred's face met with Lee Sung-min was white.

“This is probably the best way. If you torture someone by checking their bloodstream, you will suffer internal injuries, but internal injuries do not heal well with Elixirs. But elixirs are very good at trauma. ”

Along with that, Lee Sung-min held Fred's hand with his bare hands. Fred realizes what Lee Sung-min is trying to do and opens his mouth.

Lee Sung-min points his blood so that Fred doesn't scream too much.

I twisted my thumb joint. Fred breaks all ten fingers, and Fred faints unconsciously, unable to endure the pain.

After that, Lee Sung-min grabbed the two hands of the nearby Elves. Like Fred, the elf broke all ten fingers.

The elves are scared, unable to say anything more, and observe Lee's behavior.

“No, I'll tell you. ”

The elf, a man held by Lee Sung-min, hurriedly spits out.

The female elf, who burst into old age all the time, opened her eyes and saw the male elf.

Then Lee Sung-min stretched his finger without hesitation and pointed to the female elf.

Paan!

As Lee Sung-min flicked his fingertips, an invisible force crushed the female elf's head. The female elf's body falls back.

“I knocked him out. ”

That's how he told me not to misunderstand. The elf hesitates and opens his mouth.

Authority was in town, and a few days ago, a man in the forest said he was a friend of authority.

Friends.

In saying that, Lee Sung-min naturally remembered the heavenly body and the hexagon. If I use a sword...... Is it still there? It reminded me of a miner.

It was the sword that defeated the miner, and since the sword defeated him...... the miner said he performed the shameless work to overcome the sword.

And the miners are dead.

Lee Seong-min woke up. He uncovered the elixir's lid and healed the elves' wounds and released the thick blood clot.

“It's too late. ”

The Awakened Elven Woman chuckles and says.

“Before I caught up with you, I had already sent a signal to the spirits. We are merely sentries, but soon a hunting party will come to kill you, slaying those who have entered the forest with impure intent. ”

“…… Is that right? ”

Lee Seong-min muttered, looking at the Elven Woman's face. So that's how it happened.

With that in mind, Lee Sung-min moved his hand.

Pufferpuck!

All but the man who answered the question, all the elves' heads burst out.

“W-what are you doing……. ”

“We're going to fight you anyway. ”

Lee said, looking at the bodies spilling blood.

“You gave me the right answer, and I let you live. We should leave this forest if possible. ”

“Yes…? ”

“It would be a shame to lose your life after all." ”

Lee Sung-min said so and came down from the tree. Heju, who was watching Lee Sung-min's behavior, spoke.

You're going too far, aren't you?]

“If you invade the village and kill the Authority, you lose to the Elves. ”

[I wish you'd been more discreet. Go into town and assassinate them.]

“The swordsman who entered the forest cares. He must be the Swordsman. I don't know why the Sword Zone came to the forest...... but he's still in town. Elves may not hide their swordsmanship and assassinate authority. ”

[At worst, you may give up your authority to keep the curse, and fight alongside the Swordsman. If you do, you're dead meat. No matter how strong you become, it is impossible to survive the battle against the sword that has been blessed by the forest and is more powerful than the curse.]

“I know. I don't want to fight in that case. ”

Lee said without hesitation.

“If authority renounces the curse, the curse of W. Hoenn will be lifted. Eventually, my wish will come true. If authority does not give up the curse, you can defeat the sword and kill authority. ”

[Can you defeat the sword?]

“I've never met the sword. We'll see about that. ”

After answering, Lee Sung-min immediately started to move. I was going to make him bold in his behavior after this happened.

I heard about the village's location, but I didn't intend to visit it. What Lee wanted was for him to find himself.

Authority will not be moved by the curse. Might come with the sword, but it doesn't really matter.

It would be better for Lee to fight here than to fight in a village where Elves live.

The problem is what the dead elf mentioned, the Hunting Tide.

I don't know how strong they are. The sword will move only if you acknowledge the lack of a hunting party.

‘The forest is a nuisance. ’

Lee looked around. tall, big trees. Lee Sung-min grabbed the spear with both hands.

The force and internal air that wrapped the whole window grew long without condensing. Lee Sung-min swung his spear with both hands.

Kwakwakwakwa!

Dozens of trees fell around Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min did not stop there, but moved and knocked down all the trees around him.

Now we just have to wait.

* * *

Elves are a tribe blessed by beauty, longevity, manna, spirits, and forest.

Elves that look so perfect, but they are crucially lacking something.

It is difficult to reproduce. That's why Elves are strong in their ethnicity and value their territory.

Most of the unauthorized visitors to Elf Forest want to enslave beautiful Elves.

Elves who are compassionate and put harmony first appear only in ancient times.

Over the years, the Elves realized that it was for their own good to prioritize survival over compassion, rather than harmony.

The hunting clan was like a symbol of the changed elves. They are merciless, and have been trained since childhood to defile their hands for their own kind.

“Fred, Jean, Joseph and Declan have been murdered. ”

“Where's Rajun?”

“Rajun... is alive. He betrayed his own kind and sold information to humans. ”

It was a gloomy voice, and the spirit of the wind that brought it to light resonated with the grief of the hunting party.

The face of the slaughterhouse, which was sweeping away the fur of a large tiger, turned cold.

The death of his own kind grieves, but anger and murder spill over Rajun who betrayed his own. Elves do not forgive traitors because they have strong homosexuality.

“Where is Rajun? ”

“I'm leaving the forest. ”

“Kill him.”

The hunter gives the order without hesitation. The elf you reported climbs onto the wolf's back. The hunting promo opens his mouth as he looks at the far huntsman's back, riding his wolf.

“We go hunting for him. ”

“…… Do you mind if I don't report this to the Elder? ”

The other hunter speaks out of envy. But the protagonist shook his head.

“The Elder is sick of keeping the curse. I don't want to disturb you. ”

“Then help the Elder.... ”

“This is about the Elves. I don't want to borrow a human hand. ”

The head of the hunt replied with a cold voice. The hunter lowers his head deeply to say something inappropriate.

The hunting promo grimaces at the sound of a far-off sound.

“…… you're being barbaric. ”

More reason to kill the prey.
