Possessing Nothing

An unnamed forest.

However, as Kim Jong-hyun was in that forest for over a month, the forest became named.

The Demon King's Forest. Nicknamed the Demon King to the north, Jonghyun Kim gave that forest a harsh name.

The dreadful weather in the north has left the forest unprotected.

A dry tree without any leaves looks like an elongated awl. The branches that appear to be sticky at the end of the tree look like thorns, and the branches are shaken by the strong wind and produce earringness.

The scattered snow feet cling to the ice, causing the forest to turn white as an ice tree.

There's Kim Jong-hyun.

Thanks to Lloyd's patronage, there are no restrictions on Scarlet.

But Scarlet knew that this was also temporary. She wasn't stupid. Although I am free now, I know this is not permanent.

‘Till the end of the subjugation. ’

Then interference comes in some way.

Churches and Muslims. Even the Wizards' Guild doesn't believe that much.

If the Church and the Muslim blind try to interfere, the Wizard's Guild will not be a shield.

‘You can't be in the Horse Tower. Unfortunately... I can't help it. ’

Scarlet swallows a sigh. I don't blame her for what happened.

I didn't even want to complain. The grudge she had against Lee Sung-min was that she hit herself too hard when she fainted.

Otherwise, it's only a matter of where to go if you leave the Horse Tower.

‘Well, I'll take care of it. ’

Being an heir to the priesthood. Scarlet didn't know much about the Moorish, but he knew that it was a large group that was feeding the Erian Moorish alongside the Shaitans.

Since the heir to the priesthood is a heterosexual, even if you leave the Horse Tower, you will have a place to stay.

Scarlet didn't hold much sway over the position of the red steed.

When I left the mountain of the Mesh, I aimed to become a horse tower master, but I was disappointed when I became a horse tower master.

I thought if I became a matchmaker...... I'd see all the high-quality magic in the Wizard's Guild.

No. Becoming a Horsemaster doesn't give you access to all the books in the Wizard's Guild.

The beloved books in the Wizard's Guild are inaccessible, so even if you call them horseshoes, you won't be able to see them.

Scarlet was disappointed by the wizard guild itself because it was so different from his expectations.

‘If it's my personal research, I can do it anywhere other than the tower. ’

So there's no foolishness in leaving the tower. No, let's not think about that right now.

Survival is important.

“Lead the way. ”

Lloyd asked Doberman. Horses, please. That's more like an order. Doberman was well aware of that, but did not refuse.

He smiles, revealing his white teeth, and turns away. Sichua and Husky followed behind Doberman.

The main character of this subjugation is not the Maddox mercenaries. All they have to do is buy time for the wizard in the rear.

Or by dying first, we can find the workers hiding in magic traps or forests.

Doberman knew it well.

It's not a losing business. This subjugation will significantly reduce Maddox mercenaries' numbers, but the real skilled mercenaries won't die.

A bunch of mediocre B-rank mercenaries that can be gathered and replenished anywhere.

It doesn't matter. There are many mercenaries who want to join the Maddox Mercenaries.

If you can have a rich relationship with the Wizard's Guild while consuming such rubbish, you will have a much better business.

Doberman's orders go through Shichu and Husky, and the Maddox mercenaries begin to move.

The mercenaries on the front were all those who were not confident in their skills, and were terrified of the horrific rumors of Kim Jong-hyun.

But I couldn't run away. If you ran away, I knew that Kim Jong-hyun would be strangled by the Master's sword before he killed him.

‘We don't know how the subjugation will end. Kill Jonghyun Kim...... or Jonghyun Kim runs away. Maybe we'll lose and run. ’

However, any form of red horse must be secured. That is an order from the oath himself.

I told the Wizard's Guild I didn't need any help... but I laughed in relief.

I don't know if I'll ever be what I thought. The Earrings are protecting the Red Horse Rack. If you try to secure the Red Horse Race, you will collide with the Earrings.

‘The Muslim Slaughterhouse has set off. Can I fight the Earrings with the Killing Bandits alone...? ’

To be honest, I was a little skeptical about him. No, it's none of your business.

The oath doesn't have to worry about him, "he nailed. I didn't really know what the reason for not worrying was.

“Let's go in.”

After the maintenance, Lloyd opens his mouth with a stiff face. It was just after noon. Taking action put down his misgivings. The earring hasn't shown itself yet. Maybe we'll run into each other in the woods.

Do you know where the bag saucer is? ’

I came down from the horse questioning that.

* * *

The punitive force has begun to enter the forest.

Seeing that, Lee Sung-min prepared for action. You have to follow the forest.

I didn't know anyone else, but I wanted to keep Lloyd or Scarlet safe.

I thought about arriving in the forest in advance and meeting Kim Jong-hyun, but I felt I didn't have to.

[Hmm.]

The moment Lee Sung-min was about to move. In his head, he lets out a short groan.

Heju did not give any other warning, but he did not have to wait for his word.

It was because he felt the same way. It's been a long time since I felt this feeling.

I have not heard of anyone who has given this kind of intimidation to Lee Sung-min except a private stockmaster recently.

Lee immediately turned around.

The piercing sensation was aiming for Lee's whole body. I didn't see the target conveying him, but Lee took a few steps back, holding the spear behind his back.

“Good.”

You hear a giggling voice. A small dot glitters from a distance, then slams and narrows the street.

It was a tall man who came close to that distance in a heartbeat. Zachman's hair was tied up tightly and handed back, and two colorless windows were placed on the back of his back.

Lee Sung-min felt a powerful presence the moment he stood in front of the man. The three letters were engraved in Lee Sung-min's head.

“…… Chang Wang? ”

“Chuckle!”

Lee Sung-min laughed at the question. He had an early 30s look, but his eyes were as big as those of a child, shining with pure light.

The Chang Wang doesn't just attack, but sweeps away the dirt from his body while rushing here.

“You've got a good eye. ”

“If you're holding a spear, you're holding a spear. ”

In Lee Sung-min's answer, Chang Wang smiled.

Although he had received orders from all over the world, Chang Wang was also personally very interested in Lee Sung-min.

Although he belonged in the heavenly world, he did not have much interest in the goals of the heavenly world.

It's just that there's an astonishingly powerful superstition in the heavens. It was only because it was easy to fight other transcendental masters in the heavenly heavens.

“I've met you like this, but it's good to see you. Don't doubt that you are sincere. ”

The Chang Wang laughed. In his attitude, Lee Sung-min felt a small glamour.

When you meet the Spear King, run. It reminds me of the story he told before he died. He also said a few times.

Beyond atheism in the heavenly skies, we must be careful of Chang and Luna. No matter how strong you get, if you fight the Chang King, you will die.

“…… aren't you here to kill me? ”

“What?"

Lee Sung-min's question tilted his head.

“I killed the sword and the authority. I asked if that's why you came to kill me. ”

“What does it matter to me that those two morons died in pairs? ”

I asked Lee Sung-min's question with a blank expression.

“If you have risked your life for nothing, it is natural that you will die fighting another unmanned man one day. The radishes they honed were worse than you, so they died, and that was a perfectly natural outcome. Then why would I want to kill you for their deaths? ”

When Chang Wang asked, Lee Sung-min was immediately speechless. Chang Wang laughed at Lee Sung-min's silence.

“Oh, of course. I've even heard your stories from the godless. He asked me to meet him. But I didn't hear you say kill you. I told you to do as I please. ”

Chang said that and glanced at the spear Lee Sung-min was holding.

“But you know what? I told you to do as I please...... If you fight me, you will die. If your spear is weaker than mine, so be it. ”

It's not good.

Sung-min was conscious behind his back. I didn't think I'd be faced with Chang Wang here.

To be precise, it wasn't a coincidence, but the Chang Wang came to us unilaterally. At this moment, even in the face of Chang, the punitive force is entering the forest where Jonghyun Kim is. Sungmin's eyebrows twitched.

To be honest, Lee Sung-min was not confident that he would be able to pull himself out safely when he was fighting the Chang King.

Even at this moment, Chang Wang's existence became a sharp spear and was aiming for Lee Sung-min's whole body.

Strong.

It is not comparable to authority or validation. Although not as much as the tetrarch, Chang Wang was a master who was higher than Lee Sung-min.

If we're going to fight... we have to risk our lives. Fighting with your life is not guaranteed to defeat the Spear King. You will know clearly if you fight in person, but you can feel something just by facing it like this.

“What are you doing? ”

Chang urges you. He pulls out one of the two javelins behind his back and grabs it with both hands.

“Are you willing to stand there and take my spear? ”

“I don't want to fight right now. ”

Lee responded quickly. Given that he did not attack the supreme, but laughed at the death of the sword and authority, Chang did not seem to be murdering the rational people.

“Why?”

“Because I have to go into that forest. ”

“Then why not just defeat me and go? ”

Chang said, frowning.

“I came here restlessly to fight you. I didn't even sleep. ”

“Then you must have lost a lot of stamina. ”

“Yes, this is the only chance you have of defeating me." ”

“No.”

Lee Seong-min slowly crossed his head. Through a conversation with Chang, Lee Sung-min was able to figure out the character of Chang Wang.

“I'm an enemy, but I'm also a spearhead along the way. I think your spear is enough to honor. ”

“Wha……. ”

“That's why I don't want to be a coward who fights with you, but breaks your spear. I know I may lose, but I want to face justice against you and your spear in full swing. ”

Lee Sung-min's words halfway opened his mouth. The Chang Wang's shoulders were shaken by some emotion.

“Let's postpone the match. I'm also not in a full state of mind right now...... I have a lot of things to worry about, so I have to run out of shafts. ”

“Mmmm!”

Lee Sung-min nodded his head as if he had realized something.

“I see...... You're absolutely right. Yeah, I'm not doing so good, to be honest. You can't concentrate on fighting as long as you have something to care about.... ”

“Yes."

“I see... We'll postpone the next fight. ”

[A simple one.]

Heju laughs.
