Possessing Nothing

317.75. Demon King (3)

There you go.

Abel was convinced that most of his remaining life was lost.

Magic did not fail.

It's the first magic I've ever used. It didn't mean I couldn't tell if the magic had succeeded or failed.

The coordinate input was successful, and the magic was clearly implemented. Originally Grimoire's magic changed the coordinates and replaced the driving ritual itself with Gries'.

The preparations Kim Jong-hyun made in Germoud to unfold this magic. All the preparations for the slaughter of all the people of this city became Abel's.

In the bursting light, Frau saw that Abel could not see. Tens of thousands of souls howling in the light. They slide for a long time through the space in the light.

Every time, the space distorts. Every time a soul vanishes, a tiny hole is formed in the space.

Oh, I see.

Frau understood why Kim Jong-hyun killed tens of thousands of humans in this city and did not send their souls to the Demon King, but put them in the city.

‘I needed it. ’

It takes a soul to connect dimensions and dimensions. This would take several times the soul to connect the unconnected cannabis and Eria, but not the spirit system.

Eria and the spirit system are connected somewhat. Thus, it is possible to connect with the Spirit System with Germoud's spirit alone.

Cough!

Kim Jong-hyeon looked back at the vibration of the space. His face revealed an unseen surprise.

Today was a day of many surprises, but not all of them were as surprised as they are now.

“I see.”

Jonghyun Kim understood what was happening. Connecting to the cannabis is the only way to avoid the end of the world.

It was' only ’because Kim Jong-hyeon was able to unfold the magic that connects dimensions and dimensions.

But what if Kim Jong-hyeon isn't the only one who can do that? What if there was another way? Yeah, that's why I'm doing this.

“Me again. You didn't have a response, and you thought you had done something like this. ”

Kim Jong-hyun laughed and looked at Lee Sung-min.

Lee Seong-min sat in a distant place, covered in blood.

He sighed and stared at Kim Jong-hyun. I couldn't understand why it was like this.

Clearly, for the first time, Lee Sung-min was overwhelming Kim Jong-hyun.

In the struggle against Volander, the more advanced Lee's pace made it impossible for Kim Jong-hyeon to respond.

But now? I avoided Kim Jong-hyeon and stopped the spear shot by Lee Sung-min. Of course, Lee Sung-min was not in a good mood because he was consumed by the struggle with Volander.

But even so. It was unbelievable that Kim Jong-hyun, the ‘Wizard’, was overwhelming Lee Sung-min only by his physical ability.

“This is how it works. Abel…… I had no idea that his magic would make this possible. As a result, I failed. ”

Kim Jong-hyun said that and approached Lee. Now he felt very good. Even though it was temporary, his ability to become the complete Demon King made even Jonghyun Kim intoxicate.

The Demon King's body continued to grow in the fight against the heterosexuals. If you look at it, it's a power that disappears once the magic continues.

“I can't help it. ”

Are you okay?

Heju asked with a worried voice. It's okay, Lee Sung-min raised his head, answering with a small voice.

Bouncing off, I burst my intestines and broke my bones. But it also ends the regeneration in an instant.

Whenever resurfacing is repeated, my head tingles and my heart flutters. Lee knew that this regenerative action was even more threatening to seal incompletely.

“We failed here. Well, that's okay. I can do it again anyway. I know how to do it. It's just a shame we lost the Volanders and the Desknights. If only you would fill their voids.... ”

“You failed. ”

Lee Seong-min staggered and woke up.

“And in a different way, the world has escaped the fate of the end. And yet you want to do this again? ”

“Why are you doing this? Knowing that I didn't do this purely to prevent the end. ”

And...

“Hmm.”

Kim Jong-hyun added that and touched his chin.

“Strange. I don't know which world you connected them to... but there's hardly any change." I think the magic's out there somewhere. ”

It was a question that Lee Sung-min felt the same way. Seeing Kim Jong-hyun's reaction, it was clear what Abel was trying to do was successful.

Lee Sung-min grabbed the spear. Seeing that, Kim Jong-hyun raised his hands.

“No, wait. I don't want to fight you again right now. ”

Kim Jong-hyun said so and took a few steps back.

“First of all, I want to make sure that this is what happened. ”

Kim Jong-hyun smiled as he said.

Pot!

After leaving that smile, Kim Jong-hyun's appearance disappeared. It jumped over space with a continuous link.

Lee Sung-min's expression cooled down. He didn't hesitate to open his eyes to the direction Abel was headed.

In this situation, the biggest obstacle Kim Jong-hyun is Abel, who has Gries, not a trained heterosexual.

Therefore, as Kim Jong-hyun, he must have wanted to clean up Abel first.

* * *

“…… What is this? ”

Abel stands dumbfounded.

With the magic manifested, the sphere ceased to exist for no longer. Magic has been manifested. It must be true.

But this is something. Abel sees it unfolding before his eyes.

He, of course, entered the coordinates of the Spirit System. There can be no error in the coordinates obtained through the lifespan of Gries. Abel had never been to the Spirit System.

Eria is definitely connected to the spirit system.

But it was so different from what I expected.

A faded garden mixed with a colorful flower garden.

Beyond that stood a magnificent mansion.

What mansion?

As Abel was surprised, Frau looked at the mansion with a shivering face. Aradour, who was hiding behind her, pulls out her head and asks.

“Where is the Spirit? ”

“How the fuck should I know, asshole? ”

Frau answers Aladur's question in a sharp tone.

Abel grits his teeth. He approaches the manor.

It must be true that it is connected to the Spirit System. However, there was only one mansion that appeared in this world.

So, where are the spirits? What's with the mansion? Abel stands at the door of the mansion, leaving the muscles of his cheeks twitching. Then I raised my hand and grabbed the door hook.

Before Abel pulled the door open. On the other side, someone grabs the door hook and turns it.

The door is open.

“… uh……. ”

Abel opens his eyes wide as if he couldn't trust the person who opened the door.

He wears thin glasses and feels uncomfortable in a wheelchair. His hair was white and his face was wrinkled.

“Tongue, what's wrong with you? ”

Abel stutters and asks.

Beyond the door, Envirus is sitting in a wheelchair. Cain, Abel's older brother.

He also looked unbelievable. But Abel's tremor was much greater than Cain's.

I can barely feel the enormous magical power Cain once had. He looks like an old man, even though he is barely holding back aging.

It seemed to be the limit. If it hadn't been for that, hundreds of years would have crushed the flesh and died.

Besides, what's with the bridge? I never thought I'd see Cain here, but I did. Abel is appalled that Cain, the target, has fallen to his miserable state.

“Abel…? ”

Cain mutters, his eyes wide open beyond his glasses.

He couldn't see very well. Only after hearing his voice do you realize that Abel is the one who barely opened the door.

“My Lord!"

You hear a startled voice behind Cain's back. The one who excelled across the hall was a Demibeast with cat ears.

She frowns as she looks at Abel standing over the open door. Why are humans here? That raises the question, but Rubia quickly approaches Cain and grabs his wheelchair.

“Why did you open the door...? ”

“I heard a strange sound outside.... ”

Cain stammers. I can't even go by myself. I couldn't see properly, nor could I fully suppress old age. What... is that? Abel's face distorted.

No, that's not what matters right now. Abel hurries forward and grabs Cain's wrist.

“Where is this place? ”

“Huh...? ”

“Where the hell is this place?! ”

Abel shouts. Rubia frowns and stands in front of Abel.

“Who are you people? Why-- no, how did you get here? ”

“Shut your mouth. I'll ask the questions. Where the hell am I...? Isn't it a Spirit System? I must have the coordinates of the Spirit System... ”

“The spirit system is right. ”

Cain replies.

“…… there are no spirits…… ”

“Please explain…… ”

Something's wrong.

I didn't want to admit it, but Abel felt that intense premonition.

I can't see the Spirit. A world ruled by the queen of spirits. A place where many spirits live. Then why can't I see the Spirit when I'm connected to the Spirit System?

“Coordinates…… coordinates of the Spirit System. Abel. I don't know what you're trying to do, but the coordinates of the Spirit System have changed. The Queen of Spirits created a small space for me, which could not live in the Spirit System, and overlaid the existing coordinates. ”

That's the mansion. Cain is in danger of dying for violating his contract with Mana.

The Spirit Queen couldn't tolerate Cain's death, so she came to this world ignoring her old promise and took Cain away.

“Don't bullshit me. ”

Abel trembles.

Eventually, I took away Kim Jong-hyun's magic.

Abel spends most of his life doing magic. You connect Eria and the Spirit System, completely annihilating tens of thousands of Germoud's souls.

However, the connection was not a spirit system. Independent space overlaid with the coordinates of the Spirit System. The space the Spirit Queen provided for Cain was connected to Eria.

Abel rushes to grip Gries. I knew the lifespan was short, but Abel didn't mind.

After casting a spell, Abel settles down.

‘It hasn't changed. ’

Eria's fate remains unchanged. The fate still at the end of the world is the end.

“The Queen……. ”

Abel stammers.

“The Queen... … The Queen of Spirits? Call her, call her. Now!"

“That's... impossible. ”

Cain mutters, his eyes tightly closed.

“She broke a long promise to save me. In return, she fell asleep for a long time. ”

The Spirit Queen wanted to save Cain while doing so. He falls asleep for a long time and wants to stop Cain from dying, even if he never sees Cain again.

“Ha… ha……. ”

Abel smiles with a hollow expression. That's ridiculous. I couldn't believe it. What the...? What the fuck? Spent most of my life doing magic. The world. This is how I tried to stop Eria from ending it.

“Son of a bitch……. ”

Abel stares at Cain with his poisonous eyes and spits out. It was because I couldn't bear it without doing so. Everything is falling apart because of Cain.

If Cain hadn't been here. If Cain hadn't done that. The Queen of Spirits would not have broken her promise and intervened in this world, nor would she have made room for Cain at the coordinates of the Spirit System.

If that were the case, Abel would have succeeded in connecting Eria and the Spirit System!

“Hahahaha!”

A smile bursts out behind Abel's back.

Kim Jong-hyun was clapping his hands with a joyful expression floating in the air.

I had to. Abel failed. Kim Jong-hyun failed as well, but unlike Abel, Kim Jong-hyeon can start again as much as he wants.

“This is a masterpiece. How could something like this happen in the senior class? Hahahaha!”

Lee Sung-min also stood under Kim Jong-hyun.

Again, I heard what Cain said. I also knew why it happened.

Lee Sung-min saw Rubia standing in front of Abel. Rubia also saw Lee Sung-min. Seeing Rubia's unbelievably frightening face, Lee Sung-min forced her to smile.

It was impossible to smile naturally in this situation.

“In the end, you. I tried to stop the apocalypse, but I see you're doing well in a safe spirit system. ”

Kim Jong-hyun teased Cain with his hands.

“And you failed. ”

You struggle for Abel.

“I can do it again. ”

I can't believe how much fun this is.

Kim Jong-hyun once again laughed loudly.
