Possessing Nothing

We're out of Nerod.

I couldn't escape.

You made it over the gate. It was Lee's plan to leave the area immediately and move to another area, and then find some time to relax and return to Haras.

But just like he was worried before. The situation did not turn out as Lee Sung-min had hoped.

It happened so fast. Something falling from the sky pierces Lee's feet.

It was a plain form sword with no decoration.

The moment I saw the sword. Lee realized his worries and what he was worried about had become a reality.

‘Swordstroke……! ’

Instantly moves your mind and body.

Through repeated use of the storms of the Heilang Incense, Lee Sung-min left the space.

Get as far away from here as possible before summoning the fairy horse.

The last time a fairy horse can be used. So, if I could save it, I wanted to save it, but it wasn't the case.

If you don't use Fairy Horses here, you won't get out of here.

Through an enormous space of wind trust that has been repeatedly unfolded.

The act of extreme excitement that pierced the gaps in space could not be used unless it was transcendent, and it was not confident that even the present rational mind could fully use it.

But they are forced to use it. I don't care about the burden of the flesh.

Lee Sung-min's body, which is close to the monster, heals and leads the body that is hugging the burden due to excessive operation.

But the sword continued to chase after Lee Sung-min.

A winning sword that rises to its highest heights. If Lee Sung-min traveled through space with the belief of a storm, the Winged Fish Sword also penetrated space.

The sword is still behind him, despite his repeated confidence. Lee Sung-min gripped it.

A quadrupletism warning is in my head. If you encounter the sword line, do not attack. Run for your lives.

Even as the sword approached the back of his neck, Lee Sung-min remembered such a philanthropic word.

He keeps on running and tries to put the winning sword away. But that didn't last long either.

When he could no longer trust the storm, Lee Sung-min gripped it and stopped his leg.

The winning sword was still behind Lee Sung-min. The distance the blade can reach if you move just a little. Lee Seong-min stood there and didn't move.

When Seong-min didn't move, the sword didn't move.

[Why are you still?]

The sword thunders and trembles.

[Keep running, my dear. It's pretty fun to play hide-and-seek.]

“…… are you a swordsman? ”

[Chuckles] Who else can wield a sword like this? What do you think? Isn't this old man's sense of humor great?]

“What are you doing to me? ”

Lee Seong-min completely turned away. The black end that stopped in the air was aiming between Lee's glances.

[Have you ever seen such audacity? Sweetheart, are you asking me because you don't know why this old man is doing this?]

“I didn't harm Wudang. ”

[Sweetheart, this old man has enemies on the surface of a shaman who belongs to the faction. But you were in a frenzy with Wudang, weren't you?]

“Is that why you're doing this to me? ”

[Chuckles] No, it's just an excuse. I thought you were pretty good and funny. So I made a joke, and you were really good at it. That's why this old man was so excited.]

“Is this some kind of joke? ”

Seong-min stared at the sword and spit it out. It was the first time I had a conversation with a sword. He had no idea what kind of character the sword was.

[You look like an old man.]

I had to empathize to some extent with the idle muttering.

What if this isn't a joke? I didn't kill you. I didn't cut you right. I just swooped my sword and chased after him. Haven't you enjoyed yourself?]

“I'm not having any fun. ”

[This old man is enjoying himself. A thousand may not be enough to be an heir. The wind seems awkward yet! Less than a thousand years ago.]

“…… Will you kill me? ”

Why don't you say something scary like that? This old man is a shaman. It's not pointless killing.]

The sword said in a stern voice.

[I'll kill anyone who's worth killing. Sweetheart, talk to yourself. Are you worth killing?]

“…… I don't think so. ”

[That's for me to decide.]

The sword said with a smile.

[Darling, even this old man has ears to hear. I've heard all about your evil deeds called nobles.]

“Most of that would be a misunderstanding. ”

You want to tell me you're innocent? Can you prove it?]

“If I could prove it, I would. ”

[chuckles]

Lee Sung-min laughed in a loud voice.

[If it's possible, I'd like to talk to you in person. This old man is leading a labor force to see you...]

“You want me to come as a shaman? Do you think I'll go? ”

[What if you don't come? If you say you won't come, I'll kill you right here.]

“I thought you said no pointless killing. ”

[I don't think killing you is meaningless.]

The sword thunders and trembles.

Sung-min chewed his lower lip well. In the words of the sword line, he had a pretty good idea where the sword line was. But I couldn't believe it.

“…… a sword. Are you in Wudang now? ”

[Yes.]

The sword line answered without hesitation. In saying this, Lee Sung-min gave a meaningless smile.

It's not a lie. I can't feel the presence of the blade, even though I set up the sensory blade and scoured the area.

From Wudang to here.You 're wielding a winning sword in such an incredible distance?

“What a winning sword.... ”

[This is a real winning sword. This old man has wielded his sword for centuries. This old man possesses the greatest qualities in a sword, and has wielded it for centuries. Isn't this what you should do to be called a sword line?]

For sure, Lee Sung-min chewed his lower lip well thinking of the sword. The Sword itself was a monster in transcendence, wielding a sword for centuries. Compared to the sword line, it was like a child.

[Go.]

After a brief thought, the blade said so.

[I thought about it quite a bit, but I don't think you should kill here.]

“…… Why? ”

[I can't thank you enough for saving my life.]

The sword line only grumbled so much and did not talk about why it chose not to kill him.

[What are you doing? Run before this old man changes his mind.]

That's how the blade came out. In saying this, Lee Sung-min turned away without hesitation. You're lucky you didn't use your last chance to use the Elf Horse.

Lee Lee leaped out of the position with all his strength.

“Is your body fit to move? ”

While closing my eyes in the middle of the room, I heard a voice like that.

Kim Jong-hyeon closed his eyes and looked at the door. Kim Jong-hyun did not disrespect the vampire queen who came in without knocking.

In a nutshell, he came to us as a drinker.

“Thanks to your care. ”

“Will you not say anything disgusting? ”

In response to Jonghyun Kim's quirky answer, Jenniela sincerely resented it.

She carries a deep irritation in her eyes that seems to be filled with blood.

After the ritual of the forest failed, Kim Jong-hyun chose Geniella's mansion as a hideout for himself.

Now Predator has lost a lot of power. Arbesh, the arch rich, was destroyed by Jonghyun Kim, and Yana of the senior group, the monster king, explained his whereabouts.

Joo-won was stabbed in the boredom of a long life, in order to achieve the fame of the arcade he killed.

Bolander, who leads the Desknight, is wandering around looking for a dragon to lift the curse of Desknight.

And she does nothing.

“If you'd completed the ritual, it would have been pretty fun. ”

She was wearing a colorful kimono. In the past, I wore this to seduce the bloodthirsty white wireless. Even after the white-collar death, Xeniella would occasionally wear a kimono.

It was because of its glamorous, uncomfortable movements. She used to enjoy that kind of discomfort from time to time.

“Failure has made me a very ambiguous creature. But the Demon King... No, I can't stop. I think he's stronger than Arbes. ”

Kim Jong-hyun smiled at that. I failed to complete the ritual. With that burden, Kim Jong-hyeon's body became like a bomb that never knew when it would explode.

An inversion of consciousness is a complete inversion of species. Even though I was close to success, I failed and took that risk.

“What will you do next? ”

Xeniella climbs into bed and sits down. Her eyes were intrigued instead of annoyed.

“One more ritual like that won't be possible. But you still have Grimoire, and it will be possible to manipulate Grimoire's magic with its imperfect body. ”

“That's right.”

Kim Jong-hyun replied without hiding. Xeniella sees Grimor sitting on her desk.

All the black wizards' books were dream books, but she had no interest in them at all.

“What were you planning to do in the first place as the Demon King? ”

“I tried to act like the devil. ”

In Jennifera's question, Kim Jong-hyun answered without hesitation.

“Just like the Demon Kings of old. You want to destroy the world, you want to fight warriors. ”

“The Demon King in such stories is always defeated by the warriors. ”

“I wasn't planning on it. I didn't intend to be greedy. Ah, to tell you the truth, I never really thought much about what it would take to be the Demon King. The only thing I ever wanted to be was a Demon King, because that's exactly what I could do. ”

“But you were disappointed because you failed, right? ”

“I was angry. I could, but I couldn't. I expected a lot, but I didn't expect the Black Dragon Cow to show up there. ”

“That's what the intervention was because you shouldn't have become the Demon King. ”

After hearing Kim Jong-hyun's murmur, she burst into laughter.

“It must be fate. It's my destiny not to be the Demon King. I didn't become the Demon King. ”

“Fate. ”

In Jong-hyun Kim's answer, she giggled and laughed.

As if denying her fate, Kim Jong-hyun frowned slightly.

Xeniella of Hemostasis. She was an outsider who had a lot of questions about Kim Jong-hyun.

“Vampire Queen. I have a lot of questions for you. ”

“I know you chose this place as your hideout because I wanted to ask. ”

Geniella stared at Kim Jong-hyun, saying that.

“I don't know why I'm asking you this now. ”

“What if there is? ”

Kim Jong-hyun said so and got up. Check your condition. The Half-Back Demon King is more powerful than ever.

I spent months tuning this incomplete body. Not as complete as when the first half failed.

“The question I'm asking. Vampire Queen, if it's disrespectful to you. You might try to kill me. ”

“If you're worried about that, maybe you shouldn't ask questions. ”

“I am a must-know personality if I have any questions. ”

Kim Jong-hyun smiles, revealing his teeth.

“If it's the body now, even if you really want to kill me. It will be impossible to confront you... but you will be able to escape. ”

“Don't you think you're overreacting? ”

In Jonghyun Kim's words, she asked with a smile on her face. Unlike that expression, her eyes turned cold as if they were snakes.

“Maybe. Vampire Queen, I am living in an organization called the Predator. I always wondered. You're a monster. You'll be the strongest in the Predator, and you won't have much color compared to the most powerful humans, such as atheists, drunkards, and swordsmen. ”

“So?”

“You have that kind of power. What do you want... I'm so curious. ”

Kim Jong-hyun laughed as he said that.

“You've lived for hundreds of years, and you've been playing charlie north of here, starting a few decades ago. And I lived quietly like that for a long time. It's relatively recent that you started a movement like that. Bleeding White Wireless. Was he great enough to break your silence? ”

“If he was a great man, he'd be alive by now. ”

Xeniella's mood hasn't turned bad yet. However, I didn't forget that Kim Jong-hyun had to be careful about what he said.

I told this story because I was certain I was going to survive, but I can't say I was half sure.

“Vampire Queen. ”

Kim Jong-hyun swallowed a big breath.

“What promise did you have between you and the dragons? ”
