Possessing Nothing

“…… both, to be honest. Say hello to Scarlet, get the fairy horse back. ”

Lee Sung-min said that and curled up Jana standing behind her back.

She tilts her head, not understanding the situation.

Jana and Scarlet face each other first. Scarlet smiles, looking at Jana behind Lee Sung-min's back.

“I just sewed another woman up. ”

“What else do you know? ”

“Isn't it?”

“You're the one who's agreed to help me with this. ”

“I am Yana of the Elders. ”

Yana rubs her head and introduces her name. Jana... Jana. Scarlet's eyes widen as he recalls his name.

“Gumiho of the elderly? ”

“Yes. Are you…… a red sage? ”

When Yana asks, Scarlet's eyebrows tremble. She sighs deeply and covers her face with both hands.

“Not my favorite nickname...... What is the Red Wise Man? How old am I...... ”

“What did you do with that nickname? ”

“What to do. Independent from the Wizard's Guild, I built a small tower near this forest. I took people who wanted to learn magic and taught them magic. ”

It was similar to my previous life

Scarlet in her former life founded her unique magic system, the Lexir School, and was called the Grand Wizard, just before she died, when she was 27 years old.

The difference between current life and previous life was that it took ten more years than it used to take, and that Scarlet left the Wizard's Guild.

“I hate that nickname. Don't call me that. ”

How old is Scarlet? I asked myself a question. In other words, the physical age of Lee Sung-min is now 37. And Scarlet is older than he is.

I wanted to ask you a question, but I didn't think it would give me a straight answer.

“Took you long enough. ”

Phew.

A sphere of light gathers not far from you. When the bright light subsided, Osla appeared in it, looking at Lee, spreading the wings of the butterfly.

“Did you know? ”

“I knew it. ”

It's a question with many meanings. Osla nods without hesitation.

“What you are...... I've known you for a long time. ”

“You…… eventually said I was the one who chose. And I made this choice. Are you still favorable to me? ”

“I've always been on your side. ”

Osla sighs.

“If you become a monster, you stand by your side as a monster. If you weren't a monster...... I'd still be on your side. ”

Osla's position remains unchanged. If Osla was on the side of the massacre, she wouldn't have sealed it for the straight people.

Osla slowly approaches Lee Sung-min with his wings moving. With her outstretched hand, Lee Sung-min grabs Osla's hand without panic.

“…… I see. ”

Osla nods.

“It's completely gone. I did talk about choice, but I wasn't sure that this would be the outcome. ”

“Then why? ”

“A long promise. ”

A little light appeared in Osla's hand, holding Lee Sung-min's hand. Lee Sung-min's eyebrows flickered. Osla's memories are coming into his head.

A long-standing promise. He clearly understood how many times Osla made that promise.

The Queen of Spirits and the Queen of Fairies.

They existed in this world as true transcendents, but were not technically inhabitants of this world. There are countless spirits in my dimension, and there are countless fairies.

Likewise, there are countless queens and kings who rule them.

Due to the end of the world, the Great Experiment Ground "Eria" is closed, and each time a new experiment site is opened, a different Spirit Queen and Fairy Queen are connected to Eria. It has been repeated so many times.

[We coexist with this world.]

Osla's voice echoes in my head. Drink with the Phantom King. It is not different from the relationship.

Drinking is present in the cannabis world, and the Demon Kings born of drinking divide the cannabis world.

And the Demon Kings who have gone to another dimension govern that dimension of the Magic System. The same was true of fairies and spirits. The fairies and spirits that exist in Eria are only dispatched to this world for a short time by being greater than their queen.

[We must not try to change the fate of this world. But the Queen of Spirits broke her promise.]

Envirus had to die at that moment. But the Spirit Queen intervened.

‘You broke that promise, didn't you? ’

[Yes.]

Osla smiled bitterly at what Lee Sung-min said.

[I told you to be kind. It was…… because you had a destiny of genocide, one of the endings. You were destined to be massacred in any way.]

Osla's actions on that line were not meant to change fate. But then, the owner dies. When Lee Sung-min decided to inherit the power of quadrupletism.

[At that moment, I broke my promise. I heard you tried to change your fate. If this world ends, I will pay for it.]

Select '……. ’

I made that choice. The private stockholder chooses, just like you chose. I'm not that different from the Queen of Spirits either. Just as she loved a human being and tried to change her fate, so did I.]

‘…… You are……… a teacher……. ’

Osla chuckles without answering.

‘…… The Queen of Spirits fell into a long sleep. He's gonna wake up soon, though. Did that long sleep pay for breaking your promise? ’

[Penalty for being out of your realm. She should not leave the Spirit Realm, as I do not leave the Fairy Forest.]

The Spirit Queen did not pay for breaking her promise. As Osla did, the price the Spirit Queen will pay will come after the end of the world.

Do you want to stop the apocalypse? ’

[That's what the Sovereign Lord wanted, and that's how he died.]

Osla lets go of her hand. With this, Lee Sung-min clearly understood Osla's intentions and position.

Osla wags her head lightly with a nice smile. He pretended not to see the tears that were scattered around his eyes.

“I'll return the fairy horse. Scarlet told me to take it, so I took it for a while. ”

“Hmph.”

Scarlet puckers his lips. For her, it was an act of vengeance for leaving ten years ago.

He didn't say much about Scarlet's projection because he ignored her intentions 10 years ago.

“…… I'm going north. ”

“Throw it away again? ”

Scarlet shoots you.

“…… Are you coming with us? ”

“I can't go. ”

Scarlet grunts and rubs his head.

“Research is the end of the line. If you leave for one day, everything will be ruined. ”

“… OK. ”

I didn't want to force him to take me. The slightest sensation was that Scarlet was almost incomparable 10 years ago.

What happened in Germoud taught a lot to a rational person. Especially how dangerous a great wizard can be.

But I can't get Scarlet to help me this time. You can get Yana's help instead. Maybe this will lead to all-out war with Predator.

Jana's power of ripping out the heart of the enemy, which was one of Predator's Black Stars, will help a lot when that happens.

‘Please.'

Lee Sung-min summoned a fairy horse. He immediately climbs onto the fairy horse and reaches out to Jana.

Even Yana got on top of the fairy horse, and Lee Sung-min remembered the northern city of Cephed.

The Saxony hid the trail of Cheffed for the last time. If you go there, you'll find out what happened to the Saxogo.

Please, don't face the worst outcome.

The elf horse leaps over the space.

In 10 years, the winds in the north were still cold. Lee Seong-min immediately jumped off the elf horse.

Lee Sung-min who was standing on the snow saw the gate of Cheped not far away. In Lee Sung-min's memory, Cephed was a city on the road to Travia, not under the control of vampires or Lycanslopes.

But not now.

I learned about Cephed from Nevel. Ten years ago, a vampire queen who had been silent for a long time in the far north began to move.

Vampires roamed the entire city only in the darkness of Travia, and Lycanslopes, ruled by the Vagabonds, took over the cities to the north and near Travia.

The same is true of Cephed.

One of the Lycanslopes is ruling over Cephed. It was a Lycanslope named Nero, one of the attendants.

Cephed was originally the city of his majesty, but Nero replaced him with an empty seat after he disappeared about half a year ago.

That's why I'm more anxious. I don't know how powerful a Lycanslope by the name of Nero is, but his transcendent ability to fight Baek Sogo shouldn't be a problem.

But what if he was the one? Why did he hide his appearance? Why is the Saxogo unstoppable? Lee Sung-min lowered his fist tightly and headed toward the gates of Cheped.

“Are you heading out? ”

Yana, who follows behind her back, asks. Sung-min nodded his head without looking back.

“Wouldn't that be dangerous? ”

“Maybe if there was a janitor in the city. Without them, it's impossible to stop me. ”

It was an arrogant word, but not an arrogant word to a rational person.

The north is barren. After Predator's prolific activity, the sectarian moats retreat completely from the north.

The moon waves, the families that made it their home. Because they never wanted to fight Predator.

Thanks to this, there are no rifts left in Cheped, the northern front.

Predator's name made even beggars everywhere retreat.

Nevertheless, the city called Cephed did not become a lawless zone. The Lycanslopes who captured Cephed,

I did nothing. I didn't intervene in urban affairs, I didn't persecute urban residents. They just, like, existed.

That didn't mean that Lycanslopes didn't take Cheped as their territory. The information gateways and guilds, including the opening, tried to re-enter Cheped several times, but all the unauthorized people who entered Cheped with such intention turned into dead bodies.

Lycanslopes stare down at the approaching Lee Sung-min and Yana in front of the gates and on the walls.

Now, they were hesitant about how to react. It's because there were no human feelings in both Lee Sung-min and Yana.

“Who are you?”

Eventually, one of the Lycanslopes guarding the gates asked Lee Sung-min and Jana. Lee Seong-min thought for a moment. about the possibility that when you ask a simple question, they'll give you an honest answer.

[Is that possible?]

Heju is dead.

I agree with Lee Sung-min.

Before Jana has any reaction. Lee Sung-min's body became a bolt of lightning.

I'm out!

The Lycanslopes guard the gates with late-blowing noise, rolling in blood.

Lee took a leap into the air without stopping. There are other Lycanslopes out there, blinded by the situation.

Lee aimed down slowly at the spear he held with both hands.

“... so neat. ”

Yana mutters.

Lee Sung-min, standing on the wall, shed blood at the end of the window and fell down the wall. He does not hesitate to pass through the gates. A human-looking guard looks up near the gate. There's already been a commotion.

Lower of the dragon stretching out from the center of Lee's mind fainted the guards.

“First, let's meet a guy named Nero. ”

“Yes.”

Yana nods.
