Possessing Nothing

I knew it.

The extent to which things will happen around you in the future will be much different from those in the north.

It was not a significant shortage of punitive force at the time, but the crucial mistake they made was giving Kim Jong-hyun ample time. Also, there was too little time to respond to the preparations.

‘But this time it's different. ’

Kim Jong-hyun was clearly aware of him.

The Northern Punitive Force joined the Magic Legion and even the Horsemen. They were excellent wizards, but they did not respond well to the Dark Magic.

Although the paladins and priests of the church attended, there were not many. They were not a danger to Kim Jong-hyun in the first place, who only had the ability to use their body.

Things have changed. Things have changed. Thanks to the tragedy in the north, they will no longer be careless about Kim Jong-hyun. You've been bewitched by dark magic, so you must be prepared for it.

Fortunately, the main force of the Wizards' Guild, the Battle Wizards of the Horse Towers and Magic Troops, had a long time to come here.

In the south, neither the blindness nor the power of the Wizard's Guild is very great. Most of the south is a dense forest.

Many tribes live with their own culture. A few miles from here, a group of adults is a city of monsters.

It doesn't mean that there are very few Muslims or wizards, but you won't have to worry about organizing a punitive force for a while.

The problem is other forces.

Temples and paladins of the Church. In fact, they were not that different from Kim Jong-hyun.

Just like Jonghyun Kim emigrated to Eria and the Demon King contracted with him died and became a foreign entity. Most of the shrines and paladins belonging to the church were disconnected from the gods they were serving when they were summoned to Eria.

In fact, the power they use is the unknown power that cannot even be called the Divine Power.

Nevertheless, the "Divine Power" they say is like the natural enemy for the Dark Wizard. Adult. Kim Jong-hyeon was troubled with him in mind.

‘It would be better to call in the troops as we continue going north. Or maybe we should just settle down for a little while and come up with a countermeasure. ’

It was quite a joyful concern for Kim Jong-hyun.

I could have chosen a different place. In fact, wherever you choose, it's better than the south.

June the Demon King. He's not the complete Demon King.

Divine power still serves him annoyingly and unpleasantly.

Rather than confronting the adults and the main force of the church who do not know who they are and how much power they will have, it is better to deal with Muslims or wizards who can understand and respond.

I know that, but I didn't.

He didn't want to be the Demon King, and he didn't want anything to do with the world.

It was fine, I guess. I'm just trying because I can.

‘No, I'd rather destroy it. ’

I wouldn't have done that in the first place. Kim Jong-hyun chuckled.

For him, what motivates his actions is a great share of what he can and cannot do.

Can you do that? Let's do it. I don't care about morality or humanity if I can.

Of course, Kim Jong-hyeon liked to create panic. Most of what he can do, and most of what he considers, are those kinds of things.

“There are no survivors. ”

There is no knock. Bolander comes through the door and gives you a heavy flush. Kim Jong-hyun glanced at Volander, squeaking behind the chair.

This city. It was inhabited by the Lord of Germoud. Until just one day ago, this place was the head of a group of nobles and prominent figures, but the only person living in this house was half the devil king Kim Jong-hyun.

“How long have you been dead...? Did you kill him?" ”

Jonghyun Kim smiled and asked. You can't hide the smell of blood from Volander, but there's not a drop of blood on his armor or or his sword.

Bolander didn't answer Kim Jong-hyun's grin. He presses the unpleasantness and hostility rising from the depths of his heart.

“Does the number mean anything? ”

“It means something. We need to figure out how many ritual sacrifices there are. ”

“…… I don't know. You must be very sweet. ”

“Not enough.”

Kim Jong-hyun said, he touched Grimoire with his hands on a large desk.

“My life was more than enough to turn myself inside out. To reverse you and hundreds of Desknights, it takes many times that life. Technically, this is about breaking the link to the Demon King, who is binding your souls, and reconstructing the body that was taken from you by the Demon King upon death. ”

“…… I have to go to the next city. ”

“No, you don't have to. If you wait here, the sacrifices will come on their own. ”

“You mean make this place your territory? ”

“If we can raise the undead from here, we have enough men. ”

“But we don't have enough sacrifices to reverse us. And to the south is the saint of the church. ”

“There's only one human being. You think he can stop you or me? ”

“No, I don't think. Instead of waiting for the Punitive Force, I think it's more efficient to sacrifice it to nearby cities and villagers before escaping. ”

“I'm the one who decides that. ”

When Jonghyun Kim smiled and said, Bolander no longer said his argument.

Since this relationship was built, Kim Jong-hyeon has been holding the knife sack.

Bolander thought he wanted to kill Kim Jong-hyun, but if he did, his way back to the human race would be completely lost.

We've been doing genocides we haven't had for centuries. Now you can't ruin everything.

“Got it.”

Volander turns away. He leaves the room with a squeaking sound of armor. Kim Jong-hyun laughed as he looked at the door that was not closed.

‘You must be very angry. ’

The door was closed. Kim Jong-hyun got up from the chair and stood in front of the window.

The sight of a miserable ruined city caught my eye. You see the wandering undead. They run for a long time compared to Desknight, but enough to make an army.

‘First, gather the magical power of the land...... and prepare a lot. ’

The magic was overwhelming. Knowledge was the same. Opening the door from the sea to the Magic Gate allowed Kim Jong-hyun to gain a lot.

Especially knowledge.

“The stables.”

Kim Jong-hyun looked out the window and muttered.

If this is a big ranch and Mormoth is what we grew up in,

I wonder what Mormoth needs from the creatures outside the vivarium.

Honestly, I wasn't in a good mood.

* * *

The wagon has stopped.

Lee Sung-min, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened one eye and looked at Abel. Abel opens his mouth, exploring the contents of Gries.

“We've met.”

“Aren't you the lucky one? ”

“I can't say it's ideal. I wanted them to die a little by Kim Jong-hyun. ”

That way we could have caught a break. Abel adds that and closes the book.

At that, Lee Sung-min smiled.

It was three days on the wagon alone with Abel. We didn't talk much, but we knew what kind of person Abel was.

He was a completely different person from his brother Envirus. We didn't know what the agenda was, but Abel was much more active in stopping the apocalypse than Envirus.

Also, like I said before, Abel stated that if it was to prevent the end of the world, he would have to make some sacrifices.

It was the same for Lee Sung-min. No one died, and Lee reasoned that it was impossible to stop the end without any problems or damage.

“Will you accompany me? ”

“Let's make contact first. ”

Abel says so, covering Griess. He wraps a gray robe around his body and opens the door of the wagon.

The wagon's procession stops not far from here. A plain wagon without ornament, the color was all white.

Abel looks at the wagon with both hands on Robe's sleeves. Lee Sung-min pressed the mask. I had to wear a mask that was not so good on the surface.

Even though Osla put a temporary seal on it, the force had to hold it steady unless it was a combat situation.

As Abel and Lee get out of the wagon, the procession of the stopped white wagon starts to move. Lee Seong-min stared at the paladins guarding the wagon. Hundreds of troops.

Wearing white armor, the paladins' aura was strong during the Northern Punitive War. One of them sprints over here.

“Where are you headed? ”

The man was tall and fit for a thick voice. It's been four days since Germoud's massacre.

Already the surrounding cities and villagers have left the site in fear of Germoud's massacre against them. Along the way, I'm headed to Germoud, which makes them suspicious.

“Germoud.”

Abel replied first.

“I am Abel, the Wizard's Guild Master. How tall and great are you to look down on me? ”

When Abel asks, his eyes tremble widely beyond the helmet's face shield. He is deeply distraught that he never imagined that his opponent was the head of the Wizard Guild.

“I, no, we. I'm going to Germoud. Kim Jong-hyun is fucking there. He's going to kill him. ”

“Hmmm……. ”

The paladin is flustered by Abel's harsh tone and coughs. Abel sees a procession of wagons approaching the rear of the paladin as the messenger comes.

“What about adults?”

“... Watch your language. ”

“I am the Guild Master of Wizards. Standing at the peak of many wizards rotting in this world. Tens of thousands of wizards are just words. Are you telling me not to talk to you like that? ”

“It's the story of the Wizard's Guild, and we……. ”

“Enough.”

Abel raises his hand and interrupts the paladin.

“They say each other's affiliations are different, but they don't have the least respect. I thought I could cooperate, but I didn't. We'll make our way, so you're on your own. ”

Abel quickly spits out and turns around. He looks at Lee Sung-min standing still.

Lee Sung-min left Abel in charge of the situation, and did not make a move. When Abel and Seong-min tried to get back in the wagon, the paladin hurriedly said.

“Now, wait a minute. ”

“What?”

“Collaboration...... What do you mean? ”

“You ask stupid questions. Aren't you going to catch that bastard Kim Jong-hyun? I'm afraid I have no choice. The Desknights have joined forces with the Black Wizard to wipe out a city. Are you going to Germoud to impress and honor the dead? ”

“That's …… not……. ”

“If that's the case, it's too different from what we're trying to do. No. You're not even in the position to talk to a wizard guild master. I hope I'm not offended. We're out of here. ”

“Stop it.”

Abel's relentless gunfire left the messenger speechless. It was another paladin who took his place. As he steps forward, the messenger quickly steps back and bows his head.

“I am Theos, the White Knight's Master. I apologize for my rudeness. ”

“Glad to know it's rude. ”

“As you said, we are on our way to Germoud to stop and kill the Black Mages Kim Jong-hyun and Desknight who massacred them in Germoud. ”

“What do you want to say? ”

“If the Wizard Guild Master and his companion have the same goal...... why don't you come with us? ”

“Are you the tallest of the herd? ”

Theos was stunned by Abel's question.

“I don't think you realize who I am. You know what? The older the wizard, the worse he gets. What do you think you're going through? ”

“Th-think of your anger... ”

“Anger? No, not anger. It's bullshit. Do you want to try it?”

Abel grins and asks.

[He's a genius who fucks people up.]

In Lee Sung-min's head, I was amazed.
