Possessing Nothing

“You keep me waiting. ”

The Punitive Force has left Hedor.

After hearing the rumor, Kim Jong-hyun grumbled in a low voice. I can't believe the Punitive Force is leaving in a month after putting a sting on this forest.

‘You're being careless. Is that how high you rated me? ’

Or the grimoire I have? Kim Jong-hyun smiled and saw Grimoire floating next to him.

A black book emits ominous light. Kim Jong-hyun looked down at Grimoire with loving eyes.

There were 5,000 hearts buried deep in the pit. After a long time of harvesting, the heart did not rot at all.

He hasn't regained consciousness. The moment the Punitive Force entered these woods was the moment Grimoire's consciousness began.

Although the chances of success were slim, Kim Jong-hyeon was still looking forward to that moment.

What if it fails? It's inevitable. If that's the case, you can leave your body, analyze why you failed, and try your ritual again after reinforcing the failures.

Kim Jong-hyun had nothing to lose anyway. The Black Horseman or his reputation? They mean nothing to him.

‘It will take about four days. ’

I'm already prepared. However, Jonghyun Kim was going to check what he had installed in this forest for four days again.

You've prepared so much to catch me, you have to put the ball in this side too. Jonghyun Kim disappeared into the darkness of the forest, dragging the foothills of Rob.

The cry of an unknown beast echoes through the darkness.

* * *

Unmanned 50 of Taxonomists, 70 of them. The Magic Troops are 60 years old. Red Horse Master, Green Horse Master, White Horse Master, and Gold Horse Master. The paladins and priests of the Church are 100, and the Maddox mercenaries are 200.

The troops gathered to subdue one Kim Jong-hyun reached 500.

To subdue one Black Wizard, this many troops and those who could gain recognition wherever they go in the world were gathered.

Lee Sung-min rode beside Scarlet. It takes four days to catch the forest where Kim Jong-hyun is hiding from Hedor.

[Took you long enough.]

It was only a week after I arrived in Hedor that I left Hedor.

Although the start was later than expected, Lee Sung-min did not complain much about it.

Now his nerves are directed at Scarlet.

Scarlet on a horse next to Lee Sung-min was displeased. She didn't like the subjugation itself and would not have even participated before the subjugation had it not been for the promise of the Green Horse Master.

[So, did you figure something out?] `

[Don't ask me if you know.]

Participation in this subjugation was the Blind Innocent Brigade (white 28500; ⁄ 22296;).

The choir of the White Married Gang sent a message to Lady Ahhee, consciously conscious of Lee Sung-min riding a horse in the back.

Dang Ahhee frowned and glanced at the sound of the whistle.

[I threw away my pride and acted blatantly, but I didn't blink.]

[You mean you didn't find anything.]

You're not gonna say it's my fault, are you? I did my best. It's so weird. I wouldn't fall for my temptation if I didn't have a peculiar taste...]

I was quite proud of my beauty, so I couldn't understand why Lee Sung-min didn't fall for the repeated temptations and churches.

[Maybe a homosexual or a pedophile?]

Why are you asking me that?]

[I didn't ask for an answer. I'm just grumbling because I have a bad ego. So, drunk girl. What did you find out?]

[I didn't find anything.]

I answered Dang Ahhee's question with a cheeky face.

As soon as I heard the answer, I was speechless and looked at the steps. The gait shrugs at her gaze.

[I found out that I didn't find anything.]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?]

[Lee Min-cheol.]

I called the pseudonym of Lee Sung-min.

[Age 27. There's no history. We don't even know where we're from. They're assumed to be superlative and above intermediate, and that's not quite right either.]

The girl grips her hand as she says. When I first met Sung-min, I shook his hand.

[It's not bare-handed. He must have used a weapon.]

[I found my secret hideout easy.]

Dang Ahhee added.

[I do not understand that a master of that level is not known at all. Lee Cheol-min. I looked into him using an open network of information...... There's really nothing. All we found was that he'd been south from the north more than Hedor.]

[Further north?]

[The exact location has not been determined. But…… Travia is the place to be guessed.]

His eyebrows frowned, making such conjectures. The beggars of openness are spread all over Eria, but there is a land that cannot be touched by such beggars.

North of Travia, ruled by a vampire queen. Open beggars are active in the south, but not as busy as Trabia.

Because too many beggars died. After the downfall of the hematoma, security has completely disappeared in Travia, and the decades-long dormant vampire queen has resumed active activity.

Vampires following her orders attacked and bit open beggars at night.

Vampires aren't the only ones who killed beggars. All sorts of vicious demons and criminals crawled into the city, and the open beggars were pleasant prey to them.

After realizing that the light of openness does not work for the beggars in Travia, the beggars die every day, eventually having to completely withdraw from Travia.

[It's very strange. A rumourless superhero came to this city in the South Sea from Travia, ruled by a vampire queen…… and joined the Punitive Force. And what this punitive force is trying to hunt is Black Mage Kim Jong-hyun. It's unconfirmed, but it seems to be happening in the north, the realm of the Vampire Queen…… It is speculated that there is some sort of relationship with the Vampire Queen.]

[…… that means. Are you saying that Mi Min-cheol might betray you?]

[I don't think it's unlikely. Lee Min-cheol, that man could have been sent by the vampire queen to help Jong-hyun Kim.]

[Shouldn't we kill him now?]

[You're not sure. It's too soon to kill him with the slightest possibility.]

[You can't just leave me here because you're not sure. Who else knows about your conjecture?]

[I'm not sure, so I haven't told anyone yet.]

[It's too bitter...! We need to let the others know right away. Immigration might have been sent by a vampire queen!]

Dang Ahhee stared at the steps.

I thought about it for a while. Dang Ahhee was right. If there is any doubt, we should act accordingly.

Nevertheless, he is not taking action because he did not want to use poison.

[Lee Cheol-min has a close relationship with the Red Horse Master.]

You're saying he might be a Red Horseman or a spy?]

[Well... … I don't think it's unlikely.]

[How's the church?]

Dang Ahhee glows and asks. Looks like you're wearing a pretty good head. It may be the Lion of the Vampire Queen, so getting help from the Church is the fastest way to get advice.

There are paladins and priests from all the churches assisting the Punitive Force.

[I'll be there.]

Dang-a-hee showed a sudden movement. Since he almost died in the Forest of Temptation, Dang Ahhee has become desperate for his own safety.

I pulled the horse and looked at the back of Dang Ahhee heading towards the church.

I wasn't sure what to take. I just blurted out the possibility.

That's enough. The foolish lady of Segar's party just zooms in and out.

Dang Ahhee, who visited the paladins of the Great Church, visited the paladin who was leading the paladins during the subjugation and told her stories.

If there was a difference, I was just full of confidence that it would be, as opposed to the fact that it was' likely ’.

The paladin, who had an angled face like a stone statue, did not ignore Dang Ahhee's words in vain.

After hearing all the stories, the paladin led the high priest himself, riding his horse towards the Lee Ying-min.

[What?]

He grumbled when he saw the impending paladin and high priest. Lee Sung-min also tilted his head and saw two approaching. Scarlet opened his mouth next to Lee Sung-min.

“What's going on? ”

“I need to check on something for a moment. ”

The paladin answered the question. Suddenly, the punitive force stops moving. Scarlet frowns and asks again.

“What do you want to see? ”

“There is information that this man may have been sent by a vampire queen. ”

The paladin did not reveal that it was Dang-a-hee who taught him that.

It was caring for him in his own way. Scarlet expressions his nonsense in the words of the paladin.

“What the hell is that? A vampire queen spy? Are you saying that Cheol-min might be a vampire? ”

“Then there's no way we wouldn't notice. ”

The paladin replies, looking down on Lee Sung-min.

“But there's no guarantee that being a vampire isn't the messenger of a vampire queen. Even a powerful hawk and a strong believer can be defeated by the Vampire Queen, so there is no guarantee that an outstanding master is not a puppet fascinated by the monster. ”

“Don't be ridiculous. ”

“If it's really innocent, we'll check and see. If this was a mistake, I'll bow my head and apologize myself. ”

The paladin said that Lee Sung-min was silent as he listened to the commute. After a brief silence, Seong-min opened her mouth.

“What is the basis for this? ”

“You've never been heard from anywhere. And of course that's not all there is to doubt. I became suspicious…… because you have been south of Travia. ”

Lee Sung-min's eyebrows frowned.

“I was not enchanted by the vampire queen. ”

“Anyone can say that. ”

The paladin immediately received a message.

[What a nuisance.]

Heju mutters. The paladin and high priest are waiting for his reaction, looking at the people. Lee slowly nodded his head.

“How do you want to find out? ”

“It's a magical process. ”

“Try me.”

There's no denying it here. Lee Sung-min nodded his head and agreed.

Then the high priest stepped forward and raised his hand. In his hands was a dazzling white light.

[You'll see.]

Heju said.

[A dispel. A sacred magic to undo magic. The veil you're wearing is also enchanted, so if the dispel touches your body, the magic of the mask will be released and your naked face revealed.]

[Of course.]

Lee Sung-min was not shaken. I always thought I might be discovered.

Sung-min glances at the Scarlet standing next to him. Scarlet's eyes narrow. She also knew what the High Priestess's display of magic was, and knew that the identity of the rational people was revealed when that magic unfolded.

“I can't help it. ”

Lee Sung-min muttered in a small voice. It was a moment when the display was about to unfold.

Lee Sung-min's body moved quickly.

He turns right behind Scarlet's back and slaps him on the back without mercy.

“Ugh?! ”

Even if Scarlet was a brilliant wizard, he never would have imagined that he would attack himself.

Lee Sung-min fainted and held Scarlet's body, placing the capital on her neck.

Everyone's face, including the paladin, was stiff because of Lee Sung-min's sudden behavior.

Even if he didn't say it himself, it was because he proved that he was a lion of the vampire queen.

“I knew it……! Vampire Queen!”

“No.”

Lee Sung-min raised his hand, speaking in a grave voice. The mask covering Lee Sung-min's face slowly peeled off.

“Huff...! ”

Dang Ahhee recognized Lee's face first.

“Earrings…?! ”

In that shout, his handsome face distorted like an evil spirit.
