Possessing Nothing

The corpse of the tetrarch lies in a flower field near a small lake in the middle of the forest.

The little fairies, gathered one by one, held a few flowers in their arms. The snickering fairies place flowers on the corpse of the tetrarch.

Yehwa sits beside him on her knees. She crouches her head, not crying more, but she's still crying.

Lee Sung-min stood by such a painting. He glances down at the corpse of the tetrarch with a blank eye.

[Do I have to like it as a boomerang?]

"No."

In a grumbling nonsense, Lee Sung-min replied with her mind.

There were a lot of fairies, and that many blossoms covered the primitive body.

The last time I brought flowers was the queen, Osla. She placed a wreath of flowers on the head of the tetrarch.

“Let it rot a little bit. ”

Osla mutters.

“I'll keep you here forever, indestructible. Xu Xiangju loved this forest and flower garden. ”

“… Thank you. ”

“You don't have to thank me. It's what the Sovereign Lord wanted, and it's what I want. ”

Osla rises to her knees.

The sardinian corpse in the wreath looks like it's covering a blanket made of flowers.

The surrounding area is full of flowers, and the lake is glistening with light.

Ugh.

Yehwa swallowed up her tears.

She staggers and rises to her feet. Then, he worshiped the sardinian corpse.

“You've left us with a difficult message……… ”

Long time, very well.

The tetrarch left such a note to his friends, including the Yehwa.

It was harder and harder to say than to say, "Die," when it comes to painting. But we must keep it. It was the last word left by the owner.

A week.

About that time later, I decided to leave this forest. First, I was going to go to Wudang as I had agreed to do that with the master.

Nothing has happened in the south yet.

Kim Jong-hyun and Volander have not done anything that could be considered a disaster in the south.

‘I didn't have to die. ’

Lee Sung-min hugged his knee and thought.

‘Even if it's the death you wanted. ’

It is up to those who are left to feel the loss. Just like the death of the miner, the death of the Samaritan made people feel a lot of loss.

Much greater loss than anger has frustrated Lee. I regret not doing anything. Even if it's in the past.

‘It's not enough. ’

The tetrarch is dead. It can't be changed no matter how hard you try. Lee Seong-min slowly got up.

He was conscious of the internal quadriplegic feeling of disconnection.

It was now of the rational mind, not of the tetrarchist mind. At that moment, the tetrarch did nothing at the moment of his death.

From now on, from now on. Lee Sung-min placed a flower in his hand on the bosom of the buyer.

Then I took a few steps back and raised my worship to the corpse of the tetrarch.

The tetrarch is dead.

Do not be discouraged by that.

Sung-min engraved the idea deep in his heart.

Yehwa left the forest.

It was because he had to find the other members of the SS and announce the death of the tetrarch and his will.

Scarlet doesn't leave. That's why I thought it would be dangerous wherever I went, and that if I had to go through danger, I would be better off to be protected by Lee Sung-min.

“Traveling alone is lonely. ”

Scarlet mutters.

“Besides... I've been through this. ”

“I'm fine.”

Lee Sung-min replied with a blurry smile. It was a forced smile.

“It's not the first time I've lost someone. ”

“But you shouldn't feel used to it. ”

Scarlet glances back at Lee Sung-min's golden eyes. I know things I didn't used to know, and now I know them all.

“Even if you have one death. Even if you have lost those who have been with you. But... you shouldn't get used to it. Because it's ruined. ”

“I'm fine.”

“It shouldn't be okay. ”

Scarlet says so and shakes his head.

“I'm very sad. I cry a lot. Slowly...... We have to take care of it so we don't rush. You said you didn't want to be a monster. ”

“…… Yes. ”

“You seem very anxious to me. ”

At that, Lee Sung-min's shoulders flinched.

“Too much is forcing you. You seem to be pushing yourself too hard. I get it. You didn't have a normal experience. But... yeah. Don't control yourself too much. ”

Of course. Scarlet adds with a bitter smile.

“Even though I don't fully understand you and know how you feel. But... I'm lonely all by myself. There's some kind of connection. That's why I don't want to leave you alone. Honestly, this is everything. So...... this is, uh, compassion. Are you okay?"

“Is what okay? ”

“sympathizing with you. ”

“There's nothing wrong with that. ”

Lee Sung-min chuckled.

[You're right.]

Heju talks.

[Violating humanity is not the only thing that destroys humanity and becomes a monster. Don't be self-loathing. Especially not desperate.]

Heju emphasized him. Seals are not complete. It was suppressed, so if it explodes later, there is no turning back. In other words, he has a huge bomb that doesn't know when it will explode in his body.

‘I know.'

Lee thought with his eyes closed.

* * *

A week later, Lee Sung-min recognized the rumors from the north through Nevel, but there were very few rumors about him.

The territory where the shaman and the shaman fought was the territory of Geniella and the principal.

As long as they do not spread rumors, they will not be known for the mythical fights that took place in the snow.

What happened to atheism? And the Black Dragon Cove? The question was exhausted, but there was no way to find out.

I didn't think the three of them were dead. In particular, the death of the godless is unimaginable.

One arm was lost, but he seemed to be doing just fine, and even though the Spear King and the Black Dragon Coven were strong, it wasn't enough to kill the godless.

‘Did you run away?’

I hope he ran away. He had such a sincere wish. At the last moment...... both the Black Dragon Cow and the Chang King threw themselves in front of the group so that they could escape safely.

Chang Wang's actions are somewhat reasonable. The Chang Wang that Lee went through was an unmanned person to the bone marrow.

It is not difficult for him to understand that he took the time to despise the act of godlessness that unites privatizers and to save the disciples of privatism, Lee Sung-min.

But the Black Dragon Cow claimed that the tetrarch had no oath at the last moment.

At the time of the death of the tetrarch, the Black Dragon Cove was free. Even if he had betrayed superstition once, he would have forgiven Black Dragon Coven if Black Dragon Coven had dedicated his people to superstition at that moment.

The Black Dragon Coven did not behave that way. Rather, he confronted the godless face.

“You're not dead, are you? ”

“I would have run away. ”

Scarlet mutters, and Lee Sung-min shakes his head. We will meet again.

If you've given your life and you want to meet again. Lee Sung-min personally wished to see the Black Dragon Cove again.

I doubted him in many ways and kept my distance, but I was able to escape with the help of the Black Dragon Cow.

Lee Sung-min summoned a fairy horse. It was originally a once-in-a-lifetime ride, but Osla made it unlimited.

How the demise of the tetrarch made a difference in her heart.

Or Osla, who told Lee Sung-min that he was friendly, is completely in his shoes. Being able to ride a fairy horse freely was giving a lot of freedom to the rational person who had to travel to a large piece of land in Eria.

“Thank you."

Lee Sung-min bowed his head to Osla, who came out to meet him. Osla smiles faintly.

“Promise me one thing. ”

“What promise? ”

“I'm not going to despair. ”

What Scarlet and Heju said, Osla said the same thing.

“The Sovereign Lord is hoping for it. ”

“You won't be desperate. ”

Seong-min smiled bitterly and replied.

“Because I don't want to be a monster. ”

Lee said that and summoned a fairy horse. I was able to ride the fairy horse freely, giving me more time.

“I honestly don't feel so good riding this thing. ”

“So am I. ”

In response to Scarlet's grumbling, Lee Sung-min climbs onto a fairy horse. He recalls the plains where he was chased by the sword. The elf horse told you where he wanted to go, and started grumbling lightly.

When the fairy horse came to the rooftop.

Lee Sung-min grabs Scarlet's hand, holding his waist.

It was before Scarlet even reacted.

Lee strung up Scarlet's body and pushed her away from the fairy horse. Scarlet's eyes widen as he rises from the air.

“This……. ”

When Scarlet tries to scream something. Lee Sung-min shook his head.

Heave!

The elf horse leaps over the space.

* * *

* Cough *...

The space collapses. In the center, Ji Ho-yeon glanced forward with a dazzling eye.

The corpse that was shattered into a miserable form belonged to a monster, not a human.

Boss monsters guarding the end of this dungeon were strong, but not against W. Hoenn.

I heard the same thing again.

The fate of the defeated king. Wijihoyen smiles low. I heard it several times. Really, a few times.

After meeting the Mage in the Hushen Mountains, Wijihoyen continued to travel the world. Witchcraft gave Wijihoen the location of every dungeon in the world.

Wijihoyen was wandering around the dungeon based on the information that the magician had given him.

This is the fifth time.

W. Hoenn passed the collapsing space and the corpse of the boss monster. The scattered corpse became a myriad of lights and flowed through Wiji Hoenn.

Five times, or six times, if you add up the dungeon you met with Lee Sung-min before.

Ji Ho-yeon has already absorbed the power of six boss monsters.

In fact, their strength did not help W. Hoyen much. He knew that increasing his stamina did not mean that he would be able to go to the next level.

Then, what nonsense can be gained in the dungeon to help her? Not necessarily. A priceless treasure? That is also not something Wei Ji Ho-yeon can get by being greedy or taking time to earn.

Nevertheless, this work is necessary. Magic taught Wiji Hoyen a lot.

The fate of a defeated king. What does it mean to be a defeated king? What are the absurd talents for? What a dungeon is, and what it means to defeat the boss monsters in the dungeon, and how it will work later.

‘It's not enough. ’

W. Hoyen opened the last door and entered. The heaps of gold coins and jewelry didn't catch her eye.

But I didn't ignore it. As she walks toward the door that allows her to leave the dungeon, she uses Black Dragon Cannon to pull out treasures full of rooms.

After putting it in all the sub-space pockets, Wiji Hoyen passed through the door.

It was already night outside the dungeon. There was no fatigue, but Wiji Hoenn continued to open his base.

Easy this time, not hard. You destroyed one of the dungeons.

How many are left? Ji Ho-yeon counted the number of dungeons left in her head. Then I remembered the other dungeon closest to here.

The original dungeon should not have been opened. However, even if the dungeon is not open, W. Hoyen can enter the dungeon.

‘What are you doing now? ’

Ji Ho-yeon turned in that direction and thought of Lee.

When I left the Fairy Forest and got separated...... I didn't think the breakup would be that long. I thought I could go see him as soon as I finished my business.

But it's getting too long. I had to go the long way. But I couldn't help but do these annoying things.

W. Hoenn's behavior was not for W. Hoenn.

It was for Lee Sung-min.

“The king of defeat.”

He muttered in a small voice.
