Possessing Nothing

“Haha…. ”

Kim Jong-hyun came down with a long laugh.

His red eyes gleam with a fluttering black robe. He looks more demonic than anyone else in the world to the paladins who have broken through the wreckage and hordes of undead. No, Jonghyun Kim was actually the Demon King.

Will the paladins help? ’

The sacred power of paladins and priests is the supreme power for Kim Jong-hyun.

But if the difference is too large, it is not universal.

Kim Jong-hyun immediately took action. Even if the difference is large, it's annoying.

Kim Jong-hyun's hands moved quickly. A hand wrapped in magical power tears the space and overlaps it with magic.

Kwaaah!

There was a black flame in the vicinity of Kim Jong-hyun. It became a circular ring of fire and flame. It exploded in a chain, creating a flaming storm.

Dozens of paladins were caught in the fire without even screaming. Teresa's face turns white. Kim Jong-hyun, who laughs and shakes his hand in a flaming storm, was so different from unreasonable zombies.

People, people, laughing and killing. For Teresa, it was a reality that destroyed one of the common sense.

Seong-min ran forward. He leapt over the paladins' heads and lowered his spear at Kim Jong-hyun. Kim Jong-hyun raised his hands to Lee Sung-min's spear with a joyful smile.

Immediately after confirming the formation of a defensive barrier, Lee Sung-min's appearance was wrapped in a purple current.

Lee Sung-min who came down quickly with the confidence of the storm pierced his spear into the side of Kim Jong-hyun, who was empty.

Just before being pierced, Kim Jong-hyeon twisted his body. A spear grazes his side and tears his robe apart. Kim Jong-hyun and Sung-min's eyes met.

“Kneel.”

Kim Jong-hyun muttered.

- Kuang!

The overwhelming pressure crushed Lee's shoulders. I almost let go of my knee for a moment, but Seong-min barely survived the pressure. It is enough to be firmly made for a short while. Both hands of Kim Jong-hyeon turned to Lee Sung-min.

Kieing!

I hear a tearing tinnitus in my ears. Five little magicians enveloped Lee's body.

“Boom.”

Kim Jong-hyeon was troubled.

Kuaang!

There was a loud sound that could not even be compared to the voice that was crooked. Kim Jong-hyeon took a few steps back after seeing Lee Sung-min in the explosion. The more he fights, the more he grows.

The power of the flesh, the will, the magic. He was getting used to the Demon King's vision of combat. It doesn't matter if it's temporary.

Kim Jong-hyeon finished calculating the speed at which he grew and the remaining duration while this magic remained.

Even if his growth is slower than expected. Germoud's situation can be completely cleaned up before the magic ends.

‘The guild master has lost his strength. You don't have to kill the high shaman. Killed only paladins and priests. ’

I haven't decided what to do with Lee Sung-min. I want to be your partner. Such stubbornness has not yet disappeared.

“You!”

The paladins approach. Shining white lights flow from the paladins' bodies, wrapped in the buff magic of the synagogues.

The light is awkward. A low undead would do that. Kim Jong-hyun smiled and covered the air with both hands.

Every time his hand sweeps through the air, a small magic bullet is created that emits a black light.

Magic missiles are simple magic without casting or technique. If such magic is enough, it has enough power to pierce a person.

Pabababak!

Hundreds of magic bullets were fired. The paladins' armor and shields did not protect them.

The horses pierced by the bullets seized and knocked down the paladins, and those paladins were pierced again by the bullets.

“Stay with me! ”

Only after the Archbishop shouted, Teresa was furious and reasoned.

She grabs Rosario with her trembling hands.

Whoo-hoo!

Theresa has a bright light. The paladins stagger, wounded, but not dead.

Seeing the wound heal quickly, Kim Jong-hyun nodded his head.

At least I had to admit to Teresa's divine power as an adult.

But not intimidating. If you can't kill it with lethal force, you can kill it immediately. Kim Jong-hyun put his hands together in front of his chest. He grins as he makes a Demibeast.

In a repeated explosion, Lee Sung-min, who was maintaining self-defense, escaped from the explosion.

What Lee Seong-min saw was a paladin lying on the floor and a pile of dead horses they were riding on.

Kim Jong-hyeon stepped back and held out his hands against the priests. The white barrier created by the synagogues was broken by the magic shot by Kim Jong-hyun.

The powerful synagogues collapse on their feet, vomiting blood. Teresa's eyes were filled with tears, holding her hands together in the center of the back.

How long have you lived? ’

Locked away in an explosion in less than a few minutes. In the meantime, the paladins' placenta has been wiped out. There were fewer than ten survivors, including Master Theos, the White Knight.

The synagogues were also devastated. The Archbishop and Teresa were still standing, but most paladins sat still and recited their prayers in quiet voices.

Where's the crowd?

There were so many bodies. So many. Thousands have died in minutes. A handful of them were able to fight the Zombies, but impossible to fight the Demon King.

That's the way it is. That's a lot of old stories, isn't it? Only a warrior, not an army, can fight the Demon King.

Someone grabbed Lee Sung-min's ankle. As I took a deep breath, I looked down, and the man on the verge of death was looking up at Lee Sung-min with his bloodshot eyes.

“Please…… ”

Although the words did not lead to the end, Lee Sung-min knew what he was expecting from himself.

Theos rolls the ground with a cracked flank. There is no bird to sob and wound. The wound regenerates in an instant as his divine power shines on him.

Now if you want to stop dying, you can't die. He stood up staggering and rushed back towards Kim Jong-hyun.

The number of paladins was reduced to fewer than ten, but I took care of the paladins whose number of shrines and Teresa's light was reduced that much. Such a blessing made me avoid the immediate death of Kim Jong-hyun's attack.

Jonghyun Kim is the first disaster of the end.

What she said was a little bit of a question. What Jonghyun Kim was trying to do was to get him off the hook.

When I first heard what Kim Jong-hyun was trying to do, I thought that was what Geniella said, because connecting to the Great Diplomat was not the end but the end.

Not now, Kim Jong-hyeon was the end of the world.

Once again, Theos and Lee Sung-min's eyes, which were filled with heartbreak, met. The synagogues who resurrected the broken barrier and expressed their prayers saw the reason. Teresa also looked at Lee Sung-min.

I know what they're expecting. What you want, what you desperately want.

Even though they did not know about the end, they were eager to stop Kim Jong-hyun.

Oh, come on.

What the man who held my ankle said was in my head. The star sign of the nobleman. I was treated as a minstrel. Here, Lee Sung-min became a warrior against the Demon King.

I didn't feel good about it. But he's desperate, too. He was eager to stop the end of the world, and to stop Kim Jong-hyun.

[It's dangerous.]

Heju warns.

[Close to the limit. The fight with Volander has put you under a lot of pressure. And Kim Jong-hyeon was too strong for you. I used too much force.]

When I read about the will left by the tetrarch.

Lee Sung-min chose for himself. Even if he may be a monster, he will inherit the power of quadrupletism. The tetrarch wanted to give Lee Sung-min the "future" possibility. I wanted to provide Lee Sung-min with a way forward.

I believed that I would never become a monster. Just as the tetrarch left a will to eat himself believing in it.

The Pokémon is fully charged with momentum.

The inner air of the Heilang Incense mixes with its power. Power spreads throughout the body. I walked to the buff magic. The feeling of fatigue that was pressing my whole body disappeared completely. The headache does not go away.

It was not enough.

More.

Since when did Lee Sung-min put a safety device on himself? I've only tried hard enough not to rush. After the battle with Chang Wang, Lee tried to control the power that should not be used at the same time.

It was only when he fought Amzon to protect W. Hoenn in Rubes that he genuinely drew strength with his heart that he could do anything for himself.

Since then, I have kept the safety measures in place. After absorbing the elderly, I was even more careful of him. But not now. If we don't stop Jonghyun Kim here.

No, if you don't kill him.

Biceps.

My heart was beating loudly.

Squeeze my ass!

Kim Jong-hyun's mind flew away at the moment when he tore through the space.

A robe enchanted with all sorts of shields disappears from the strike. After flying for a while, Kim Jong-hyun's body smashed into the building and landed on the ground. Kim Jong-hyeon woke up in a hurry.

The purple lightning was falling from the sky. Stop. Kim Jong-hyun expressing his hands.

The dark colored boundary blocked Kim Jong-hyun's way. After a minimum of time with a defensive action, exit the Bleed.

He quickly carried out the most appropriate action in this situation.

‘No……. ’

Wrong.

The Covenant is torn. The thunderbolt of lightning does not stop at it. The power was intact, and Kim Jong-hyun tore the seal.

Lee Sung-min pulled out the spear.

I was able to close the blink. Even though half of the body flew away completely, Kim Jong-hyun's immortality refuses to die.

Seong-min quietly turned his head and looked at the sky. In that gaze, Kim Jong-hyeon felt a chill on his back.

‘Nonsense. Stronger...? ’

You don't even have the Demon Lord's power to grow. Are you telling me you're still hiding powers that size?

While Jonghyun Kim was feeling confused, Lee Sung-min did not stand still. The spear circles around in his hand.

The spear seemed to have been shot lightly, but not to Kim Jong-hyun. The defensive perimeter has been broken again. Kim Jong-hyun flew forward with his left arm extended.

His hand, wrapped in black magic, turns to Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min reached out to Kim Jong-hyun without holding a spear.

Kuaang!

It was Kim Jong-hyeon who was pushed out. He sees his arms disappearing and gives a swift statement. Stop, stop. I repeatedly recited the commandment, but he did not stop.

‘This……. ’

Deep in my heart, I feel a bad feeling coming up.

I have a feeling you might die here.

* * *

Abel stands staggering. He pulls something out of his chest, ignoring his brother who has no choice.

The one you took from the Blue Horseman. A dragon serum extracted from the blood of an isomer.

“Frau, that's enough. ”

Abel opened the lid of the serum and said,

“Thanks to you, I made it this far, but I didn't think it would come to this. ”

“…… Abel. ”

“You must leave this city. Don't get in the way. It's not too late to lose a body now. ”

“Wh-what are you doing? ”

Abel handed over the dragon's serum to his neck instead of answering. I was full of exhausted magic. Dragon serum, just in case. I didn't think it would work, but Abel was glad that he had prepared for this.

But not enough.

“Sir.”

Abel slowly turns to Cain. I can't see my eyes, I can't move my legs. His older brother, who barely suppresses aging. Abel's fingertips point towards Rubia.

“I don't know what you think. ”

Pot.

A burst of light strikes Rubia. It was too fast for Rubia to respond.

Rubia's eyes are dim, blinded by light, and she settles down. Cain's shoulders twitch.

“I think you... should pay for what you've done." ”

“I... I... I... ”

“Don't make excuses. ”

We don't know who Rubia is.

No offense. I must have knocked her unconscious, because she must be having seizures about what Abel is trying to do. Abel looked at Frau.

“Don't bother. Take some Demibeasts who don't know who that is. Leave the city.”

“I know who you are. ”

Frau knew what Abel was up to. She looks at Abel with a bitter expression.

“... Are you sure you're okay? ”

“That's what I've wanted to do since I was a kid. ”

“No, not that. ”

“Something new. ”

Abel grins as he approaches Cain. Cain's shoulders in a wheelchair shiver.

The value.

Cain chews his lower lip with his brother's words. He tried to save the world in his own way.

I wanted to save this world from the fate of the end. But... what's the point of saving the world if you die?

“…… Was I wrong? ”

“There's nothing wrong with wanting to save your own life. ”

Abel mutters.

“But it's wrong to sprinkle ash on rice like this. Even if you didn't mean to. ”

“So... you're going to kill me? ”

“This is what happened, and I'm a dick. That doesn't mean I'm going to kill you. ”

That's a big part of it, too. Abel reaches up and grabs Cain by the neck. Cain's mouth widens.

It is a grudge pursued by many wizards immortal. Most such immortality is prolonging the lifespan of magic.

That's the limit. At least that's what the Wizard Guild allows.

But the story is different if you go towards taboos. Taking someone else's life and making them your own.

Dark magic has been forbidden. It's called the Wizard Guild Master, so I've never used it a few times before.

I never thought the opponent who used this magic would be my blood brother.

And I never thought that I would do this taboo.

“Khh... ugh... ”

Abel's hand tightens Cain's neck. Cain opens his mouth and lets out a painful groan.

The value.

I can't help it. Cain struggles to convince himself. I didn't want to die.

When I was a grown-up, I tried not to have foolishness in my life. But not now. I came to the Spirit System and completely deviated from the fate of the Apocalypse. No, at least. Cain squeezes a low voice.

“Keeping… me… from… dying…." ”

“I don't know.”

Abel replies with a expressionless face.

“Thanks to you, I couldn't stop what I could. ”

Terrible death.

Cain understood what a terrible death awaits at the end of his destiny, just before his consciousness was broken.

Lost everything. I was denied my whole life. In this situation, no one could save Cain. No one pities Cain.

That way, I die of thirst, despised by my brother. He was once the most remarkable Great Wizard of all mankind, but it was no longer of value to him now.

That's how Cain died.

Abel lets go of his hands. The body of Cain, whose neck was broken, lies beyond the wheelchair. Abel looks down at Cain with a gloomy eye. He has taken Cain's life.

‘It's not much. ’

Abel turns away, swallowing up his hatred for breaking taboos.

It was only a short life span, but this was enough.
