Possessing Nothing

[288] From the north (5)

The sartorial tone was serene, but it was accepted completely differently by those who heard it.

Especially, Lee Sung-min's mouth had to open greatly.

You told me you heard from Xeniella. Xeniella, who has an eye on the future, told the tetrarch about his death.

Before leaving the mansion, Lee remembered the conversation between the owner and Jennifer.

“Teacher...... Why are you dying? ”

“She didn't tell me about him either. She's mean.”

The tetrarch grunts and squeezes his grip on the Black Dragon Cow's neck. He glares down at the Black Dragon Cove, shining a lifelike eye.

“Swear it. If the throne dies, there's no way to control you. ”

“W-wait! No matter how much I say it, it's too violent... …. ”

“Do you want me to show you what's really violent? In fact, I don't need to take an oath from you. Killing you here is a much easier and easier way in many ways. Do you want the script to do that? ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

“I urge you to swear, though, because I've had my heart set on this journey for months. If you insist on not taking an oath, we'll have to deal with it before your very existence is bothered. Yeah, I've been in love for months, so don't kill me. Instead, I'm going to break your strings and cut off your limbs. How about that?”

The eyes of the tetrarch who said that were sincere.

The Black Dragon Cove swallows a gulp. The tetrarch continues to hesitate toward the Black Dragon Strait.

“Think about it. You can't go back to superstition anyway. Even though you were oppressive, you betrayed your godlessness. If you go back and beg for forgiveness, do you think pagans will be merciful enough to forgive you? ”

The Black Dragon Cove takes this matter seriously. About the godlessness he knows. He was not a particularly cruel owner, but he did not seem to be tolerant of the traitor. Even if he didn't die, he must have paid the price.

“W-what am I supposed to do? I didn't say you might die. If you die, who's going to protect me? ”

“The disciple of the throne will protect you. ”

“Damn it. Don't be ridiculous. How can an earring weaker than me protect me? ”

“No, it's not nonsense. The disciple of the throne can protect you. The disciple of the throne will stop the godless. If that's the way it has to be. ”

To be honest, even Seong-min could not understand what the tetrarchist said.

With the help of the tetrarch, there has been a lot of progress in the Heights of Heilang, but Lee Seong-min still could not guarantee victory against the Black Dragon Cove or the Spear King. But I couldn't tell the current owner.

“Choose. Swear or renounce your oath and be an idiot here." ”

“Damn it!”

Just as he does what he spits, the tetrarch grabs hold of the Black Dragon Cow's shoulder.

A powerful grip grips the bones and muscles of the Black Dragon Cow. The Black Dragon Cow closes its eyes with a swearing expression.

“I swear, I swear. I, Legon, will never betray a straight man, Scarlet Leshire, or a lotus flower. I will never harm them! ”

“There you go.”

The buyer nods at the cry of the Black Dragon Cow. He loosens the bloodline of the Black Dragon Coven and rises to his feet.

Even a Transcendent Master can't break his name or his oath to honor Manawa.

That promise was one of the laws of the world, and if you break it, you will only die on your own.

The Black Dragon Strait shrugs its face with both hands, contemplating its downfall.

“…… dying……. ”

Only after the oath of the Black Dragon Coven was concluded, did Lee Sung-min mutter in a dazed voice.

I couldn't believe it. The unarmed man he had seen so far was like a giant mountain with the most powerful force in the world, never to collapse.

Even Geniella, the practical leader of the Predator, didn't want to fight the tetrarch, and Heju didn't acknowledge the power of the tetrarchist.

And then he dies. Lee Seong-min could not draw the death of a tetrarchist. The tetrarch glanced at Lee Sung-min and said,

“What's wrong with your face? If the throne dies, will you feel depressed? ”

“How can you be so calm? ”

“Man will die one day. Do you need to feel depressed when it's natural and not immediate? ”

“But……! ”

“The chapter lived without regret. ”

The tetrarch stopped Lee Sung-min by raising his hand.

“It has been, and it will be. Death is inevitable, but when and where the throne dies, the throne will choose. So, don't say anything else to the script. ”

“But… Master……. ”

“The Vampire Queen told me. She foretold the end of the chapter, and knew her words would not restrict the behavior of the chapter. You're right. The script does not falter. I know I'm gonna die someday. ”

Scarlet looks at the buyer without a word.

During the journey, she recalls a request that the tetrarch secretly made to her.

He did me a favor. It wasn't that hard. Now that I think about it...... Jennifer doesn't have to say anything about the future.

The tetrarch seemed to already know that he was going to die soon.

‘Maybe that's an overstatement. ’

Scarlet sighs, thinking like that.

“I'm going to Wudang. ”

The tetrarch opened his mouth.

“I must speak with the shaman's sword. Also, there might be a Wizard's Guild Master there. I don't know if he's still there...... but if he is, we can talk about it. ”

“Do you ride a fairy horse? ”

“No, it doesn't burn. I have one chance left, and I don't think I should blow it up with this. ”

The tetrarch shakes his head and replies.

“Don't tell Yehwa about this. ”

The tetrarch boarded the wagon and said.

A portrait of a master who thinks he's a parent will have a seizure if he finds out that he may die.

I quietly climbed into the wagon with Seong-min.

I don't think of him as a parent. But I am here as a teacher. I admire him. I am thankful that he has been helped in many ways.

By the way, are we just supposed to watch him die?

“Don't think useless. ”

It was before Lee Sung-min said anything. That's what the tetrarch said.

“Didn't you say that the Bible chooses? In addition, the script does not believe in what Jennifer sees in the future. I can't accept that the future is set. I said it would never go wrong if the situation and conditions were in place, but I think there are enough variables. ”

“Then……. ”

“The script intends to deny the future she saw. ”

The tetrarch smiles, wearing his mask again.

“That sounds like fun, doesn't it? ”

It was a voice of excitement and joy.

I had never been on a boat in such a long time.

I also thought about it. Maybe I have seasickness. I've never been on a boat before, so if I live on a boat, I'll suffer from seasickness.

If so, it would be quite interesting. Being seasick doesn't suit you even when you think about it, and it's not uncommon to experience something like that.

There was no seasickness, Kim Jong-hyun was a little disappointed. It's natural to get seasickness, but you can have it if you want to.

In fact, being born is not a fun thing to do. I had no choice but to feel a slight regret.

“Well, of course. ”

While enjoying such meaningless thoughts, I was ready. Kim Jong-hyun slowly got up. He's been on Bolander's ghost ship for over half a year now.

Fortunately, the Desknights who were with us on this phantom ship were neither impatient nor outrageous.

Kim Jong-hyun said, 'I need enough preparation,’ and they participated in the waiting for months without rushing back to human beings.

For them, that kind of wait was not to be called waiting. Thanks to this, Kim Jong-hyun was able to enjoy a comfortable life, escorted by hundreds of Desknights.

There was a reason for being on the ocean, or on this ghost ship.

Even though Genniela encouraged the deal with Bolander, Kim Jong-hyeon had been keeping Bolander in mind from the beginning.

Arbes was extinguished by Kim Jong-hyeon's plan. The enemy who was the leader of the monsters had his heart ripped out by Yana, and the leader of the monsters has been vacant ever since.

King Juwon of Lycanslope was an uncontrollable opponent of Kim Jong-hyun. A long time later, he became as ruthless and simple as he used to be when he was called a vagabond.

In fact, leaving that predisposition, Kim Jong-hyeon did not approach him. It was because I couldn't present anything to the principal and I knew that there was a kind of relationship between the principal and Jennifera.

"Don't let her touch you. ’

It's not just about seeing the future. Kim Jong-hyun was not confident in the power of Geniella.

All that remains is Volander, the Master of the Knights of the Desert. In fact, Volander was the best opponent Kim Jong-hyun could handle.

Those who long to be human must obey Kim Jong-hyun.

in addition to being able to handle efficiently. Kim Jonghyun came to Volander for a reason.

That's why we haven't been ashore for months, and we've been floating in this ocean of observation.

Desknight is unlike any other undead. They lost their bodies, meditated their souls and constructed an astral body with armor on it.

In fact, it was the same with Rich, but the biggest and most fundamental difference between Rich and Desknight was that Desknight was cursed, or completely corrupted, unlike Rich wanted it to be.

But the Desknights led by Volander were cursed knights, not corrupt knights.

Rarely, but rarely. A knight targeted by dark magic is cursed to become the Desert Knight. Or if common sense is cursed in a dungeon of common sense, or if you use a cursed weapon of some kind to force the Desknight contract without choice.

It was very attractive for Kim Jong-hyun to have hundreds of such Death Knights gathered together.

Bolander, who has hundreds of Death Knights and powerful powers, gives a tremendous sense of morale. That was what Kim Jong-hyeon was interested in.

‘Yes.'

Kim Jong-hyun glanced down at the magic group on the floor with a delightful face.

A sorcerer who gathers deceit surrounding a ghost ship. The death energy of the Desknights is strong enough to save even those with low resistance.

Kim Jong-hyeon took a big sip and spread the grimoire.

Desknight's deception is the power of a bad Demon King. The Demon King's power that put a curse on them formed their astral bodies, and they became outraged and demoralized.

The Demon King is one of its origins. Kim Jong-hyun licked his lower lip once before focusing on Grimoire.

I tried to be the Demon King, but failed. He can no longer use the power of inversion. I failed once, so I no longer have foolishness.

What he was about to do was not try to turn this imperfect body back into the Demon King.

It was a simple curiosity.

Glug... glug...

Death flows. The morale gathered over the months aggregates and swirls.

Kim Jong-hyun smiled.

Magic doesn't fail. No one will come in the way this time.Even if the diarrhea interferes. Volander and the Desknights will be your shields.

I was prepared, but not interrupted.

The magic was completed as planned, and a black door appeared in front of Kim Jong-hyun.

He slowly approaches the door.

Through the energy of death, which is connected to the Demon Kings, I opened the door to the Magic System. Kim Jong-hyun didn't even have to open his hand. The door slowly opened in front of Kim Jong-hyun.

The moment I was about to enter the door. Kim Jong-hyeon's steps stopped.

"Don't come in. ’

I heard that voice in my head.

‘Once inside, there is no coming back. ’

Kim Jong-hyun's eyes sparkled in the furious warning.
