Possessing Nothing

[200] Sword Verification (4)

The town of Elves is going through a commotion.

The struggle between Swordsman and Lee Sung-min shook the entire forest, and all of it was delivered to the village through the eyes of the Spirit.

And then, the sword died.

Authority heard the words and made an unbelievable face.

“The sword... is dead?" ”

It was the daughter of authority, the hunting promo.

She was also an unbelievable face, but she couldn't be embarrassed forever.

The purpose of the intruder who killed the Sword is to kill the Authority. He will not stop coming to this forest.

After that, there are only half the hunters left.

We've already seen that there's nothing we can do to stand against the intruder, even if everyone's left.

Elves living in these woods are not helpless, not a hunting party.

Elves in the forest are stronger even if they are children who have not learned to fight.

However, hundreds of Elves in these forests would be helpless against the Humans approaching the forest.

“That's ridiculous...... Swordsman, Swordsman... ”

Authority continued to mutter. Authority knew the power of the sword.

So I couldn't believe it. The protagonist looked at authority with a gloomy face.

Authority…… was the father of a hunting promotor. Since the Elves are difficult to reproduce, their love for their families is stronger than any other species.

“…… Father. ”

The protagonist opens his mouth.

“I think we should give up the forest. ”

Authority remained silent.

The authority to continue the curse is powerless. Would it have been different if it hadn't been cursed?

Authority shed a dry smile. Even if I fought under the protection of the forest, I was not confident of defeating the sword. The intruder...... killed the Sword Zone and is on his way to this town.

“If the elf gave up the forest, where would he go? ”

Last resort is impossible. Even if you want to break the curse, you cannot break it.

Even if you stop keeping the curse, this body needs enough time to regain its power. He can't wait that long.

“I... can't blame the cipher... The crown jewels didn't expect the sword to be defeated and killed. Hahaha... ”

Authority shrugged its shoulders and laughed. The hunting promo looked sadly at his weakened father. The smile of authority stopped.

“Running away is meaningless. ”

Authority mutters. No matter how fast an elf is in the forest, I can't imagine the vigilante who killed the Swordsman would be faster than an elf.

This is a situation where the whole town has to flee. If he runs away alone, he may kill all the Elves in the village.

Hundreds of Elves are on the run. Is it impossible to chase them? That can't be right. Authority bowed its head.

There was a desire to live with my homosexuality. What the hell am I supposed to do?

No, I already know the answer. I just have less courage to say the answer out of my mouth and to act.

“… Father, run away with me……. ”

“No.”

Authority looked up and saw the promotion of hunting. It is the only blood.

Authority closed its eyes quietly.

Anyone who doesn't want to die will be the same. Elves who live for centuries don't want to die.

Because there's so much I want to do alive. After a long life, I have gained a lot.

But not now. Now was the time to give it all up.

“Banish me from the village. ”

Authority opened its eyes and said, Thanks to the sword...... I was foolish. I thought the death the cipher had seen would be prevented by the sword.

The Sword Zone is dead.If you insist on living like this, you will never live.

It's just the difference between more and more. If you insist on living, you will die with the Elves, and if you do not insist, you will die alone.

“Father...! ”

“It's better that way. If I die alone, he won't want to kill any Elves. ”

“But... Father. As soon as that human entered these woods and killed the Elves, we...! ”

“An old rule. No matter how much homosexuality is abundant, you have to know how to bend it. The vengeance of his own kind and if he strikes us, we will all die. So this is as far as it goes. ”

“Father... ”

“Don't say it anymore. ”

Authority said so and looked at its daughter. He knew it well. If you're banished from here and you die from him.

The Elves of the town might give up revenge. But not his own daughter. She will throw herself to her father's death for revenge.

“I want my revenge. ”

Authority reached out and grabbed her hand.

“Learn to back off. You can't get revenge on your skills right now. If I die... Leave this forest and go to Mt. Yuzukia. ”

“Yes…? ”

“It will be a long journey. Mount Yuzukia is far away. When you reach the mountain, wait for the full moon to rise, and climb to the peak closest to the moon. At the summit, chant my name and say that my daughter has come to avenge her father. But about my death as one of the stepchildren...... Unless my daughter came to avenge me. She won't refuse you. ”

“Yes…? ”

“Mark my words. Remember, never forget. It can't be my revenge for you to die with me. If you want my revenge, you must kill the man who killed me with your own hands. ”

Authority continues, and the shoulders of the hunting party tremble. It wasn't that she didn't know what her father was talking about.

I just didn't want to accept it. In fact, she knew it well. This is the right path. My eyes became blurred and tears fell.

The hunting promo covers his face with both hands and cries out.

It made her cry that she didn't want her father to die, not homosexuality.

“I don't have time. ”

The authority that cleared my mind muttered.

When Lee Sung-min arrived in Elf Village.

The elves of the village were all out there. They were looking at Lee Sung-min with a hostile face, but their gaze revealed an unseen horror.

Even after killing the Sword, Lee didn't feel much blood.

I could do as much as I wanted to. Less than 300 Elves make up this town. If you are willing to kill, perhaps you can kill all the Elves of this forest before the end of the day.

“You're the man who killed the Sword. ”

Your voice is low. You do not pick as if you were a dying patient, and a residue settles at the end of the horse. Lee looked at the direction of the sound.

When Lee Sung-min's gaze reached there, the elves who were standing moved aside for awhile so that they could see properly. There was dominion.

“Are you here to kill me? ”

“You're the authority. ”

Lee Sung-min muttered in a low voice. The slaughter rises. Sensory elves take a flawed step back, feeling the slaughter of Lee Sung-min.

Lee slowly approached authority. Authority was speechless.

“Just kill me. ”

“Why?”

“I was…… banished from this forest. If you kill me, the Elves of this forest won't be hostile to you. ”

“I don't know what that has to do with anything. I've already killed other Elves in these woods, and I've killed a hunting party. Am I not already the enemy of the Elves? ”

“Nothing happened. ”

Authority coughed and said.

“You entered these woods and killed no elves. That's the deal. Killing me here won't make the Elves of this forest or any of them your enemies. ”

“It doesn't matter if you're the enemy. The pursuit of the Elves will be annoying, but you won't be able to handle it. ”

“…… You don't have to keep killing unnecessarily, do you? ”

“That's for me to decide. ”

Sung-min replied.

He said that and his face turned white. It was because I didn't think that Lee Sung-min would come out so recklessly.

No, it's not reckless. It's because he had the power to act like that.

[Stop it.]

It was Heju who stopped it.

[I agree that unnecessary killing is not necessary. If you're too used to killing, there's nothing good in you.]

"Externality"? ’

[Yes. You may not be aware of it, but it's already affecting you a little bit. You might get eaten if you go too far.]

Lee Sung-min shut up about the warning of negligence.

He incorporates the feeling of the day in little by little.

Hesitation is right. I wouldn't have to if I didn't have to. I thought they wouldn't have to kill everyone if they weren't hostile. He nods slowly.

“…… good. Let me just kill you one. Instead, I need you to answer my questions. ”

“…… what? ”

“Come this way. ”

Lee Sung-min raised his hand to point to authority. I remembered the body of authority. He slowly approached Lee Sung-min and became prepared for death.

Chopping didn't make fear go away, but the body of authority was less trembling.

“Nothing happened. ”

Lee Sung-min muttered and looked at the Elves.

“I'll take your word for it. It doesn't matter... I want you to remember... If you want to kill me, I'll just have to kill you who want to kill me. It's not that hard for me. ”

The Elves do not answer. Lee Sung-min left their silence and found a hunting promotion.

“Your daughter is said to be the director of the hunt. ”

“...... That's not what the Swordsman said. ”

“If I kill you, won't the protagonist come to kill me with his father's revenge? ”

“Maybe... but it doesn't matter. If you're good enough, you can easily take down my daughter. ”

“That's true. But you don't have to do anything bothersome. ”

“Leave my daughter alone. Instead...... I swear I'll answer all your questions. I'm not lying. ”

“Even if you don't swear, I'm confident I'll hear the answer you want to hear. Wouldn't it be nice to kill Elves in front of you? ”

“If... … you do that. I will end my own life. ”

“You think you're gonna let me do this? ”

“Testing wouldn't be so bad either. ”

Authority responded bluffing. Lee Sung-min smiled as he looked at such authority.

He turns away without speaking any more. He left town with authority.

The Elves stood at the forefront while Lee Sung-min disappeared from sight. And when I no longer see the image of reason and authority,

“Ugh!”

The elves shed tears.

Lee Sung-min returned to the place where the corpse of the sword was with authority.

Righteousness winced at the corpse of the deceased, with a large hole in his chest.

There was evidence of the sword's death that I did not believe in.

“I want to know about the heavenly bodies. ”

Lee Sung-min put down his authority. Kwon Jon chewed his lower lip.

“About the bastard, including you and the sword. and the superstition at the top of the heavens. Why you were told to kidnap the Great Hoenn, what is the purpose of the Great Outer Heaven, and how great is the power of the Great Outer Heaven. ”

“That's ……. ”

“Swear to tell the truth before you speak. ”

Lee Sung-min hung up on authority.

“If you lie, if you die for breaking your oath, I'm going to kill every elf in that town. Including your daughter. ”

“...... You're being cruel. ”

“I swear.”

Lee Seong-min sat on the floor and stared at authority. I can't believe this is happening to me. Authority fulfilled its oath to Mana with a chuckle.

“The sixth person... can also be found in the name, but it consists of six honours. We are the real power of the heavens and the earth, and we move independently for the cause of the heavens and the earth. ”

“What is the composition of the flesh? ”

“…… Me first. I am the star of authority, the footstool of the Six. As you know, the struggle between masters is influenced by many things. Like variables and metaphors. There are four that have John's stars in their bloodline. Prestige, Arm Zone, Existence, Sword Zone. With the exception of the sword, three skills should be considered virtually equal. ”

I have also met Lee Sung-min in Amzon. The Sword Zone was killed by Lee Sung-min. The Dojon is probably the one who uses degrees to look at the stars.

“What about the other two? ”

“They're even more powerful than we are. Even in the same transcendence...... Swordsmanship is a child compared to those two. ”

“Stars?”

“Chang Wang and Moon Hoe. ”

“You were in the Elven Forest, and the sword died at my hands. Where are Alzheimer's and Amzon doing? Where is the King of Moons and Chang? ”

“…… umm……. ”

Lee Sung-min made an embarrassing look on his face. I swore an oath to save my daughter and the Elves of the village, but everything Sungmin asked was the most secret of all.

“You're not going to tell me? ”

“No... no, I'll tell you. ”

The face of authority was distorted.

“I don't know where Amzon is…… As I said, the stepfather acts independently. ”

It's the truth, because Mana didn't go crazy.

“We don't know where it is. But if you want to know, it'll be easier than you think. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Dojon is a celebrity. He is known as the ‘mercenary king’ and has gained a reputation throughout Eria. The bastard's name wasn't very clear, except for him, but he's different. ”

Mercenary King.

His nickname reminded me of the days of the mercenaries.
