Possessing Nothing

[285] From the north (2)

“Oh my, crazy……! ”

Punishment.

Jennifer's head rests on the white eye. The blood from the throbbing waters the snowfields red.

Lee did not see the sandalist who cut off Jennifer's head, but saw the result of her cut head watering the snow field.

He was so frightened that he had to vomit out such a scream.

“What are you doing?! ”

I didn't have to fight Jennifer. She succeeded in meeting with Jennifer as planned, and now it's over if you follow her to her mansion to talk.

In such a situation, Lee could not understand that the private stockholder suddenly entered the company.

“What do you mean? ”

“Why are you attacking……. ”

“Do you trust her? ”

Due to the philosophical question, Lee Sung-min's words were blocked.

“Opponent is a vampire queen. Xeniella of Bloodshed. Seduced by Blood. Also, he was cruelly hemorrhaged. Either way, it's not a good idea. A vampire who sucks the blood of a living person. Can you trust that monster who has lived for hundreds of years? ”

Trust?

It reminds me of all the times I've met Jennifer. Coincidence...... encounters.

I've come to know that there are no coincidences in this world. Anyway, I never threatened her with anyone in the encounter with Jennifer.

Geniella was friendly to Lee Sung-min. Perhaps this was also the blessing of fate, but Jennifera had favored the rational mind as her personal hobby and taste.

Thanks to this, Lee Sung-min has never felt a real threat to her that she might die, even though she knew that she was a monster with powerful powers.

“The script cannot trust that monster. ”

The tetrarch said that the reaction is common. But Lee Sung-min knew better.

It wasn't all because he didn't believe her that the tetrarch decapitated her.

“Ha……. ”

Laughter.

“Hahaha! Hahaha! ”

The sound echoes. Even with her head cut off, Jennifer's body doesn't collapse.

The blood splattered from the cut drenches her clothes and drenches the snow.

The frozen blood melts in the harsh northern cold. Droplets of blood rush around.

The headless body slowly turns around. Lee Sung-min found the source of the laugh. The head on the floor is jolting and smiling alone.

“Did you see it?”

I stopped laughing. My head falls to dust. The blood drops that were hovering around rush down to the severed neck, and the red fog drifts where the head should be.

It became Jennifer's head again. She touched the ‘decapitated’ neck with her hands and asked towards the tetrarch.

“Don't you think you've seen it? ”

“You saw it.”

The tetrarch replies with a grave voice toward Zeniella, who has her head intact. Xeniella says, killing the hissing sound.

“The future I see is incomplete and variable, but it's not wrong if it has conditions. because it's what's going to happen, and it's what's going to happen. ”

“I knew the throne would attack. Then why didn't you? ”

“There's no reason to avoid it. ”

She smiles widely.

“You have great power, but it makes it impossible to kill me. ”

“Do you want to try it out? ”

“No way. I don't want to fight you. Not if it was you a few hundred years ago. If I fight you now, one of you will have to die. I don't want you to die. I don't want my own death anymore. ”

In response, the tetrarch smiled. He lowered his hand and said, carrying a backpack.

“Fighting you right now is also unwanted. But, as I said, the script cannot trust you. ”

“You're not afraid of me hurting you? ”

“No problem with the script. But I promise you the safety of those who come with us. ”

“That's easy. I would never, ever harm any of you for coming here. ”

Xeniella vows to him without hesitation. Does Mana's oath mean anything to the Immortal Monster? Lee Sung-min questioned that, but he didn't answer him.

After taking the oath, the tetrarch nodded. However, the wagon could no longer move because all the horses that were pulling the wagon were dead.

“I apologize for that. ”

Jennifer raises her hand. As her widespread palm faces forward, a small drop of blood forms from her fingertips.

Hug!

Blood splatters into the mouths of dead horses. The corpse of the horses trembles as if it were a convulsion.

Shortly after, the horses stagger and get up. I did not raise a dead horse. Using her blood at the top of a vampire, she turned a horse into an undead zombie.

“No more problems. Let's get going. I've asked the attendant in advance and come here, but if he's been in his territory too long, he'll be offended. ”

What are you?]

The moment I was about to get on the wagon. Lee Sung-min heard Geniella's voice in his head. He looks back at Xeniella in horror.

[Clearly, even when I met you at the Kim Jong-hyun Punitive Force, my wife could see right through you. But... why can't I see you right now?]

[…… I don't know what you're talking about.]

[Strange...... Very strange. I've lived hundreds of years, but I've never seen anything like you. Unless you saw it from the beginning. And this time, I didn't see you in the future…… I wasn't expecting to see you here today. Why are you here?]

Contradiction. Incomplete and variable, but no contradiction as long as you have the conditions.

I saw what was going to happen, and I saw what was going to happen. She must have said that.

She herself knew the contradiction between her question and the current situation. That's why it's weird and embarrassing.

What are you?]

Variable. singularity. Observer. About the end. Abel told me about the end.

However, he still didn't know exactly what he was.

I am me. You are you. That's what Heju said. So...... I tried to think for myself, but there are still so many questions.

The role of an observer in simply leading the end of the world is over. So what am I from now on?

Why didn't Janiella see me? Why I wasn't here in the future she saw.

I think.

In the wagon, Lee Sung-min was lost in thought. The question was too big. First of all, when it was possible to detect Janiella's immediate presence.

Just before the subjugation of Kim Jong-hyeon. When I rode the fairy horse to Travia to go to Heroic.

We broke up with Wijihoen and went to Haras shortly after....

‘…… ah. ’

No way. Lee looked up at the Black Dragon Coffin in a hurry.

“I have something to ask you. ”

“Suddenly.”

The Black Dragon Cow looks suspicious. I don't know if the hypothesis in my head is true. So I have to ask the Black Dragon Cow first.

“Do you remember when Atheism went to the Hughes? ”

“… I don't know until the exact date…… but this must be one. Atheism entered the Hugheon Mountains when I went to Hae Roi to subdue Kim Jong-hyun. As soon as I came back from being blinded by the Master, I heard from the cipher. ”

I knew it.

Sung-min chewed his lower lip well. I didn't think it was relevant.

Why didn't Geniella see me in the first place with immediate opinions? Some guesswork is possible for him. At that time, Lee Sung-min was under the blessing of fate as an observer.

Perhaps it protected her from Maan.

Then, when I came to Travia to subdue Kim Jong-hyun. At that point, Lee Sung-min finished his role as an observer who was unconscious.

He had already passed away in his previous life, and this world was brought to an end. As the role ended, Lee Sung-min lost the blessing of fate.

And...

Shortly thereafter, Wijihoen met Atheist in the Hugheon Mountains.

It is unclear, but given the circumstances, Wijihoen must have met the spirit at the spirit spirit.

‘The encounter with Witch Hoenn. ’

Is it the blessing of destiny that has resurfaced? Is that blessing protecting me again? I don't know, I couldn't tell.

Abel didn't say he had the blessing of fate again.

However, no matter how hard I think about it, I felt that there was no other reason than that Ji Ho-yeon came into contact with the witch because she could not see straight away.

‘I...... No, what are you? ’

It reminds me of Wiji Hoen.We will meet again someday. When I said that, I didn't think it would happen like this.

I thought I'd see you again in a few months.

I didn't catch them because they knew we had work to do.

Should have caught it then.

It's too late for regrets. Lee takes a breath and raises his head. I met the eye of the tetrarch. The tetrarch sitting opposite was staring straight through the mask.

[Are you done thinking?]

The tetrarch asked. He told the tetrarch about his conjectures, since it wasn't a story to hide. Then the quadriplegic laughed.

[You've been working hard with your head down.]

[You said too much, didn't you?]

[It is a compliment.]

Where should I hear that?

[I think you're right. Little Horse meets Magician...... Because of him, ‘something’ has happened, you must have changed, too. The Wizard's Guild Master said you're not worthy of existence. But as I said back then, the script doesn't feel that way. You have something. And it looks like there's something connecting you and Little Horse.]

The first encounter with Wiji Hoenn was no coincidence. In a way, it must have been the intention of the straight people.

Up until now, I thought that was all. But…… until now, I thought it wasn't that simple.

[A blessing of fate. There's no way to find out.]

[It's not like there's no other way.]

Before, Lee Sung-min did it in Shaolin, though not for a long time.

The blessing of the dysfunctional god. It was the words of Immortal Ambassador Shaolin, who first recognized the blessing that Lee Sung-min hung on his body.

There was a lot going on in Shaolin. He decided to go to the north because he listened to the spiritual words in the body of the Immortal Ambassador.

[You want to go to Shaolin and check it out?]

[I think we need to try.]

In Lee Sung-min's reply, the owner giggled and laughed.

[Are you a hundred and eighty-nine after the groupie? I feel like I'm about to break the seal.]

While having that conversation, the wagon stopped. It's a long way from here to Travia, but the horses who were turned into zombies by the blood of Xeniella ran relentlessly to the Mansion of Xeniella in Travia.

I didn't even need a horse and carriage. Yehwa sits in the wagon with a slightly tense expression.

“You have nothing to worry about. ”

The tetrarch opened his mouth. He glanced at the stiff expression and said.

“Even if things happen, it won't kill you. ”

The wagon's door is open.

It's the second time I've been to Jennifer's mansion. The door to the mansion was already open, and within it was a colorful garden of roses and an old-fashioned mansion.

First, the tetrarch came down from the wagon and faced Geniella standing in front of the open gate. Xeniella grins with her fangs.

“Come in.”

I was following her through the garden. Lee stopped walking.

With his eyes wide open, he saw Aine hanging in the air, stitching her body into dozens of trellises from one side of the garden.

The same thing happened to Scarlet when he recognized Eine. She gasps and grabs Lee Sung-min's arm.

“That, me. That's him. Right?”

“…… Yes. ”

When I was first attacked by Eine. I used to force Eine to retreat, but I was able to do so thanks to Scarlet's help me.

Scarlet's body trembles with Eine's disdain.

“Why is that here? ”

Did he hear that voice? The head of the child who was leaning down lifts up.

Her yellow eyes turned towards Lee Sung-min.

... Curr.

You feel a tremor in your body.
