Possessing Nothing

Carnage.

Lee has heard what Volander mentioned before.

Mahwang Yang Ilchun, the tetrarch, said. There are three opponents that you find awkward in the world.

Shaman's Swordsmanship, Heaven's Eternal Sect, and Predator's Carnage.

But Heju said the massacre was not real.

We only call extraterrestrial monsters at the peak of Predator a massacre, and there has never been a massacre since he was alive.

It's because one of the five monsters, called Predator's Peak and Black Stars, could not be the peak.

“…… carnage? ”

“Didn't Heju tell you? ”

Volander asks.

The distance between Volander and Sungmin was close. If either of you is willing, you can attack at any time. However, Volander does not show any intentional attack.

“I've heard of it. ”

“Carnage.”

Bolander's eyesight narrows.

“I have never appeared before. We're not referring to monsters that existed in the first place.We 're referring to monsters that will emerge someday as carnage. The apex of extraterrestrials. It is said to be a carnage of monsters that once killed and devoured everything that once became inhuman but inhuman. ”

“Maybe that's me? ”

“I think it's quite possible. ”

Volander chuckles.

“Look at you. You're human and you're not human. Your body is already a monster, not a human. Though the mind still seems to be human, can we call you human? ”

“Humans.”

“You might think so yourself. I think you're a lot closer to the outside than you are to humans. And……. ”

Volander chuckles.

“You have the power of a dragon. Among the existing extraterrestrials, extraterrestrials with the power of dragons do not exist as far as I know. Isn't that more of a massacre for Predator? ”

“Guess.”

“That's right. The massacre never existed. ”

Bolander takes a few steps back, saying so.

“You arouse my curiosity in many ways. It's been a long time since I've felt this way. ”

“What are you doing here? ”

Lee Sung-min asks. Then Bolander goes back to his seat and shrugs.

“I was sailing. ”

“For what purpose? ”

“I'm looking for a dragon. ”

Volander replies. Unexpectedly, he looks at Volander with his eyes wide open.

It was because I didn't think it would be such a sudden reason. Volander smiles at the surprised figure.

“Surprised?”

“…… a little. It's a very strange answer. ”

“Neither do I, and every Desknight on this ship is cursed. Some hoped it would be like this, and some didn't want it to be like this, but it was inevitable that it would be like this. Yeah, it's like everyone's cursed. ”

Volander raises his helmet, mumbling like that.

There was no head where the helmet was bare. A pair of raging dark and golden lights float round.

“The Deathknights of this ship and I have lived a long life. We will not die unless we are killed. After death, you will enter the Demon King's hands and suffer for eternity. ”

Volander put his helmet back on.

“I don't want to do that, so I'm looking for a dragon. They say dragons are magical manipulators. They say most of the magic in the world comes from dragons. ”

“The dragon can lift the curse? ”

“I don't know about that. I've never met a dragon. ”

“Is there a dragon in this sea? ”

“Dragons have not appeared in this world since hundreds of years ago. ”

Volander replies.

“But this is one of the last places a dragon appeared. We have plenty of time anyway. If you float around this sea... you might meet a dragon someday. ”

Volander mutters like that and looks back at Lee.

“I was curious about you because you were filled with dragon energy. So I expected a little, but in the end, it was nothing. ”

Volander gives you a low smile.

“I have one last question. ”

“What?”

“Are you willing to enter the Predator? ”

“Nothing.”

Lee Sung-min answered without hesitation. Bolander smiles as if he thought so.

“I don't think so. You think of yourself as a human being... That's a good suggestion." But someday, if you change your mind, I'll recommend you to the Predator. ”

“I don't need it. ”

“You might need it someday. When you were a monster. When you're not human. The humans around you will abandon you first. Humans and monsters can't live together. ”

Lee shut up and stared at Volander. Bolander continued, looking at Lee Sung-min intensely.

“The same is true of monsters, as humans do when they are in the midst of humans. By then, you'll wish you were in the Predator. ”

“I don't think so. ”

“Hehe! Maybe now. The place of the monster is now empty. It's been vacancy ever since the heart was ripped out of Gumiho's ear. ”

Lee Sung-min no longer listened to Volander.

Volander did not restrain the feeble and twisted Lee.

Lee Sung-min left Volander's room and came out through the ominous corridor to the deck. I don't see the Desknights.

[The king of monsters.]

Heju mutters.

You're not Desknight, nor Vampire, nor Lycanslope, nor Rich. If you go into the Predator, there's no place for you but the monster.]

“I don't want to go in. ”

[Do not be silent. But you don't have to be their enemy. If you're going to fight the heavenly skies, it won't be bad to have Predator's help.]

That sounded reasonable. First of all, I was going to try to get into the parasol umbrella, but the power of the tetrarch is nothing compared to the heavenly host.

But predators are different.

Bolander was stronger than the butcher he faced, and one of the Old Testaments was ridiculously trampled under the power of Bolander's Death Knights.

But I didn't want to enter the Predator yet.

However, Bolander's recommendation made me feel like I had another choice.

If Volander, one of the Black Stars, gives you a friendly position, there will be less squeaking when you enter the Predator later.

Lee jumped off the ghost ship deck onto Zod's boat.

On the deck, the white area and the bodies of the maids he had brought were still there.

Zod and the others were terrified. They didn't know what to do. Lee Seong-min approached Jod, who was filled with urine.

“Move the boat. ”

“Yes… yes? ”

“I told you to move the ship. We go to Belador as planned. ”

“Hey, are you sure you're okay to go? ”

“Yes."

As he nodded his head, Jord swallowed and saw the captain beside him.

The tough bearded captain hesitates and orders the crew on the deck to move the boat.

The old deck creaks loudly at the sound of sailors running.

The darkness begins to fade.

Bolander's Ghost Ship disappears with the Black Darkness, as it originally appeared.

The darkness completely retreated and turned back into daylight. The sky was clear as to when.

The boat departs again, but the atmosphere is frozen.

It was the first time a longtime captain or sailor had seen a ghost ship coming out of a tale.

In the frozen air, Lee Sung-min gathered the white area and the body of the servant together.

“Well, what are you doing? ”

Lee Sung-min quietly searched three corpses without answering.

Just as I imagined. The backdrop is the pirate who lost his name in this sea.

Although he and his pirates were exterminated upon encounter with Volander's ship, there was much gold and silver in the subspace pockets where the backdrop was precious.

In fact, Lee didn't want money enough to take care of this.

However, it was too bad to throw money without this owner into the sea.

Some mercenaries stumbled around him knowing what he was doing, but they didn't even notice to come to him and drop the Congolese goods.

After taking the backyard subspace pocket, Lee Sung-min threw three bodies into the sea.

The arbiter who came at Lee Sung-min was keeping his mouth shut and looking at Lee.

He was a hard worker and pretended to be the best, but now that I know what he saw, I had nothing to do but shut up.

Since the encounter with the Ghost Ship, sailing has not been a problem.

A few times, I saw the wreckage of a ship floating in the sea. The wreckage of a pirate ship. It appears it was sunk when it encountered Volander's ship floating on the sea.

And...

The voyage is over. It will take two months for Jod's ship to reach the port of Belador.

I wanted to jump off the boat because I felt like it, but I couldn't.

Velador is the largest port city in Eria, and its entry process is tricky.

The entire city has partnered with the Wizard Guild to detect ships and people entering through the sea.

Even though Lee Sung-min is a transcendent master, it was impossible to enter Belador without being caught by detection magic.

‘It's a hassle. ’

That's why I bought a Class C mercenary from Erebrisa. It would have taken a few more months if we had used the land route.

I arrived in Belador in two months by coveting the boat, so I had to endure this much hassle.

“Don't talk nonsense. ”

On the deck were Jordans, sailors, and mercenaries. Lee Sung-min looked at them and warned them.

Everyone who received Lee Sung-min's gaze kept their mouths shut.

A word of warning, but everyone knows. You will die immediately if you don't listen to me.

The fact that an intermediary from the Merchant Guild was aboard this ship was enough to quickly bypass most of the process.

Lee watched from a distance what Jod was talking to the admissions manager.

If you say anything wrong, your neck will snap immediately.

Knowing that, Jod frowned and trembled, taking a fierce look at Lee Sung-min.

All procedures are complete. The mercenaries and sailors begin unloading their cargo onto the ship.

There's not much luggage, thanks to the subspace pockets. When the crew started unloading, Seong-min had already left the ship.

We didn't have to act like mercenaries on that ship anymore.

‘It's not far from here to Legro Forest. ’

It's only a matter of time before it's too late. Lee continued to write the name of Class C mercenary Hyun-Soo until he arrived in Lego Forest.

Unlike the south, this side is heavily influential. Right now, there is a Southern palace in Belador, one of the Moorish houses.

The Southern Palace.

Lee Sung-min remembered the Namgong-hee Won.

Finally, Seong-min did not hear about the Nam-gyu Won, saying that he escaped from the Forest of Temptation.

I came to Belador, but I had nothing to do with the Namgonghee.

It would be an awkward relationship if we met. Rumors of the death of the Recruiter and the Ghost of Jegal were spread throughout Eria by the Muslim blindness.

Namgongheewon was in love with a recruiter. Even after the recruiter got married.

Perhaps he believes what the Muslims are saying and considers Lee Sung-hyun an enemy. If you're mistaken, I wanted to resolve the misunderstanding, but at least not now.

Lee Sung-min left the port thinking that. But unlike I expected, I did not leave Belador immediately.

Lee stopped walking, panicked, and looked ahead.

In the middle of a vast square, we are made of beasts and caged iron.

In that cage, a man dressed like a rag sat on a crown.

Lee Sung-min opened his mouth halfway, looking at the corners of the man who sinned.

What was inside us was the Palace of the Names.
