Possessing Nothing

After the tetrarch disappeared, Osla, who was still left, approached Lee Sung-min.

Lee Seong-min took a few steps back, stunned by Osla's approaching presence.

The Queen of the Fairy, who only looked like a 15-year-old girl, spread the wings of a magnificent butterfly behind her back and stood at the height of her eyes.

“…… hmm. ”

Osla's eyes narrow. She stares at Lee Sung-min with her bright eyes.

With his see-through eyes, Lee Sung-min became nervous without knowing it and swallowed a dry saliva.

Osla opened her mouth while looking at Lee Sung-min with a strange smile for a long time.

“I have a small favor to ask. Will it be okay?"

“What kind of favor? ”

“I want to touch you. ”

Lee Sung-min's eyes opened wide to a sudden request. Of course, Lee Sung-min did not misunderstand Osla. Only, he hesitated and asked why.

“Curiosity.”

Osla replies with a cool voice.

“I find you quite interesting. Sovereign spirits were interesting, but you're... very different from Sovereign spirits. There's all kinds of things mixed up, but they're in good sync, and they're not dead. In fact, it's not uncommon for humans to use Dragon Fresh, is it? I've lived a long time, but I've never seen a human use dragon fresh except for dragons and anti-anti-mace dragons. ”

Osla comes a little closer.

“And besides, you feel something...... awkward. ”

“… something I'm not comfortable with? ”

In Osla's words, Lee Sung-min recalled the "Apostle of the Apostle of the Apocalypse," which has been mentioned by various beings to date. Lee Sung-min calmed down and asked Osla.

“I have questions, too. ”

“What?”

“You…… are a fairy queen. Are you God's creatures? ”

“That's a little weird. You guys?”

“…… I met the Queen of Spirits once. ”

Osla's expression was hard on Lee Sung-min's answer. She opened her narrow eyes and looked straight at Lee Sung-min.

“…… the Queen of Spirits? Did you go to the Spirit Realm? ”

“No, I'm not.”

“Then how did you meet the Queen of Spirits? She doesn't exist in this world. It shouldn't exist. ”

Osla has confirmed it. However, it is not true that Lee Sung-min met the Queen of Spirits. Lee Sung-min shook his head and denied Osla's words.

“I must have met the Spirit Queen in this world. ”

“...... That's ridiculous. ”

Osla mutters with an unbelievable face.

“She's in this world? Oh my God, that's a breach of contract...! ”

“Contract?”

“It's not something you need to know. What the hell was she thinking...?! ”

Osla grimaces and grunts. Then Osla said, "Ah, I saw Lee Sung-min."

“God…… is a little different from us. I can't say it's very different. Should I say different disciplines or should I say different pursuits…… It's not right or wrong, but God and we are different pursuits. People like you don't need to understand. Anyway.”

Osla slowly raises his hand and opens wide in front of Lee Sung-min.

“I want to touch you. Are you going to be okay?”

“It doesn't matter. Unless there's something wrong with me. ”

“If I wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't have to ask permission like this. I don't want to hurt you, so I'm asking your permission. ”

Osla reaches out and grabs Lee's shoulder, grumbling. Nothing happened, and I didn't feel anything. Osla's eyes narrow again.

“... is connected to an enormous monster. Hundreds of years ago, a giant monster died in the south. I thought it was possible for a monster like that to die, but he died. There were so many strange deaths that led to you. ”

Different.

That's what Osla thought. The ominousness she felt was not something that was associated with reason and spirit.

Deeper... Osla closes her eyes. The wings she spread behind her back give off a faint glow.

Deeper.

Osla dug deep into the people.

Osla is accepted by unconscious people who are not even aware of it.

Lee Sung-min was slowly laying the cord of consciousness, and around Osla, a fragment of light flowing from her wings floated like the light of a firefly.

“...... * *! ”

Osla, who had been drifting unconsciously for a long time, was bounced back by an unknown force that pushed him away.

The faded ritual returns. Lee Sung-min barely supported the body that almost sat down, swallowing a heavy breath.

“What have you done?! ”

Lee Sung-min shouted at Osla, who flew behind him. Osla, who barely spread her wings and rolled around the ground, saw Lee Sung-min with a face like he was possessed by something.

“…… I see. ”

Osla nods, looking at Lee Sung-min for a moment.

“It's been too long. So... I forgot. Or I didn't want to think.... ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“You're pathetic. ”

Osla sighs and mutters.

“I'm just sad I can't tell you much. But... I still think it's okay to say this. ”

“Damn it.”

Lee Seong-min kicked the floor with her mouth. I was used to these absurd leading answers.

“Be faithful. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Every day. Live each day faithfully. Don't... regret it later. ”

Osla looks at Lee Sung-min with a bitter expression. So far, Lee has heard words that he cannot understand while meeting with those who have penetrated his existence.

But Osla was the first person to make that face.

Lee silenced for a moment and stared at Osla. He instinctively knew.

Fairy Queen. She knows something that no rational person has ever met.

“…… I can't understand you. ”

“Of course.”

Osla nods slowly.

“I know you're confused. But I can't give you any answers. ”

“Because of the Apostle of the Apocalypse? ”

Seong-min spit it out.

“Because he's threatening you, who knows what? I've heard this a few times over the years. None of the people who had told me this were telling me the truth. If you forget it, it just pops up and talks to me all the time and confuses me. It's like you're squeezing each other! ”

“... I can't help it. ”

Lee Sung-min reacted violently, but Osla did not ask for the rudeness.

I just kept repeating what I had to do.

“It's an old promise. A promise that's been there since the world began. Neither do I, nor do the gods...... but we can't escape this promise. ”

The air begins to cool. Lee Sung-min felt an unknown coolness behind his neck.

He looks back in horror, but there is no one there.

“If you can answer me... what's the end?" ”

“The end.”

“And the Apostle of the Apostle of the Apocalypse? ”

“He who fulfills the end. ”

“Then, what am I? ”

Lee Sung-min stared at Osla and spit it out. Osla is silent.

I couldn't answer this question.

Huzhou was silent. Osla didn't say anything either.

In the ongoing static, Lee Sung-min has heard that he has been through, has been through, has been through. I remembered all of it.

Mesh said there are no coincidences. We'll have to prepare for it someday.

Jonghyun Kim told me about the Apostle of the Apostle of the Apostle.

Immortal ambassadors saw Lee Sung-min and said that she was receiving the beauty of a violent dysfunction.

Frau and Envirus spoke of a destiny centered on reason.

There are no coincidences. Everything is destiny. Where does your destiny lead? The Apostle of the Apostle of the Apostle fulfills the end.

And what about me?

“…… Am I an apostle of the Apostle of the Apocalypse? ”

As I spit it out, I thought to myself that Lee Sung-min is nonsense.

I had to. Lee Sung-min in his previous life was not great. Common mercenaries, among other things, class C.

I barely got to the level of the second class by mastering the trifecta, and was killed trying to break through the dungeon by myself in order to be greedy.

Just before I died, I stumbled back to the age of 14, when I was first summoned to Genabis, obtaining something called the Stone of Previous Life.

That's all.

Osla smiles and asks for denial, but Osla doesn't answer. Lee Sung-min laughed unknowingly at her silence.

“How... should I accept your silence?" ”

“I can't tell you anything. Your question is about digging up old promises, and I'm tied to them, so I can't give you any answers. I'm not the only one in the world who can answer your questions. ”

Osla opens his mouth after a long silence. In saying that, Lee Sung-min laughed again.

“But not yet... yet. Nothing's set. ”

The coolness that touches the neck turns into sharpness. Osla flinches and lets her wings sag.

“You... are you. That's got to be true. ”

Osla says that and runs her hands through her hair.

She was confused, too. Osla sighs after messing up her well-braided hair.

“Oh, really! ”

“What is it?”

“I'm just as frustrated as you are! I want to tell you everything I know! But I can't tell you! ”

“Why are you getting on my nerves? ”

“You're pissing me off! ”

After shouting, Osla heavily swallows her breath and squeezes the hair out of her hand.

“I don't know. I have nothing more to say to you. However.”

On the subject of having nothing to say, Osla leaves room at the end.

“…… I'm friendly with you. Just know that. ”

Osla glances at Lee Sung-min like that.

Lee Sung-min opened his mouth to say something more, but Osla closed his eyes and closed his ears.

“I can't hear you! ”

With that shout, Osla vanishes into a light.

Lee Sung-min put his hand on his forehead with a false laugh.

I feel more confused every time I meet someone and hear about the Apostle of the Apocalypse or the nature of things.

Nothing was clearly resolved. He only heaps doubts and anxiety as he speaks around.

[…… hmm.]

Huzhou, who was silent, opened his mouth.

[Apostle of the Apocalypse, I'm not interested in such a story......]

Hehe. Hehe spits in Lee Sung-min's head.

[It's not the end that comes right now. I don't think you need to worry about that right now.]

‘Easy for you to say. ’

[It's more important to do what you don't know right now than to care about what you don't know.]

Heju said in a deep voice.

[You have become the enemy of heaven and a disciple of philanthropy. It's better to stay true to the present than to think of the far future. If you continue to fight them as enemies of heaven and heaven, you will die at all costs.]

Lee Sung-min did not react, but kept his mouth shut.

[You have survived all these years because of that 2100 years of training. His experience has kept you alive so far. But not from now on.]

‘That's right.'

Seong-min sighed and nodded his head.

[You can no longer grow.]

Heju condemns him with a bold voice.

[Now that you're back, you've reached the edge of the spiritual world. You don't know what happened after that. I can't be strong from now on.]

‘…… yes. ’

It's a heartbreaking fact. Lee Sung-min has now arrived at the end of his ordeal.

That is, we cannot grow toward the strength of the "experience" as we have until now.

Lee Sung-min lacks talent. Geniuses like Wijiho-yeon had plenty of room to continue growing, but not Lee Sung-min.

It took 2100 years to reach this point. How long and hard can it take to reach higher levels?

[Rather, it was good. He was a disciple of the tetrarch when he grew to his limit. He's come a long way ahead of you, so he should be able to lead you slowly.]

‘Maybe so. ’

[And.]

He clears his throat.

[Let's just ask.]

The voices of the forgetfulness subside.

[You're a minority. What do you want to do with her?]
