Possessing Nothing

335.79. Arrival (2)

Being trapped in a mansion by a vampire queen has allowed the principal to gain freedom of action.

The attendant who left the city wanting to fight the human superstition has not returned for more than half a year.

In the meantime, Nero has kept his word in mind.

Just being here.

The Lord's mansion belonged to the Lord ten years ago, and half a year ago belonged to Nero.

Nero covers his face with both hands in the middle of the mansion.

I told you to stay, just stay. Do we have to stay in the same situation? The one who attacked Cephed is alone.

The only thing that's really going wrong is this guy swinging a spear. I wish I didn't know who it was. The two who raided the city were so famous that Nero could never know.

Gumiho Yana of the Elders. The man who ripped out the heart of one of Predator's Black Stars, the monster commander's foe.

At that time, Jana's opponent, who ruled the elders, was challenged. Even though the enemy was on the weak axis among Predator's Black Stars, the battle between the two was unilateral.

And, noble isomer.

‘It's been less than a week since the seals broke in Germoud. How the hell did you get here from Germoud? ’

I know that the seal has been broken. Some of Nero's minions, Lycanslopes, also went down to Germoud to break the seal with Laoshen.

Rumor has it that Sungmin the Noble has defeated Volander, Lord of the Desert, all over Eria.

Nero sighs deeply.

No matter how powerful he is as a servant of the Lord, even Lycanslove is worthy of his power. The power of the Desknight Monarch is nothing compared to Volander.

Besides, Jana is helping Lee Sung-min, and we're working together behind her back. Even if we scrape together all of the Lycanslopes in Cephed, we won't be able to stop them both.

Lycanslope is progressive.

You're right. They are human and close to animals, and they have a violent and controversial nature among animals.

But not in every situation. Nero was more rational and computational than violent and struggling.

That's why Nero was able to be the master's henchman.

‘Don't do anything... ’

Nero rises. In his mansion were Lycanslopes. If Nero gives the order, they will run from the mansion without hesitation and die fighting with Lee Sang-min and Yana.

Nero had no intention of giving that order. I recall the Lord telling me not to do anything.

He didn't want the city to change while he was away.

For half a year, Nero has stood in the back of the city, as the Lord commanded.

If you confront Lee Sung-min and Yana, the Lycanslopes of this city will be destroyed.

It should not be. Nero sighs and orders Lycanslopes to wait for orders.

“Get ready for guests. ”

In response, the Lycanslopes start speaking loudly.

Nero looks at it and covers his face with both hands.

Oh, you wouldn't understand if I told you.

Get ready for guests.

Nero said what he meant by that, and the Lycanslopes accepted it in a completely different way.

“No... just stay put. I'm going to be a real guest. ”

Despite the complaint, the Lycanslopes have not disobeyed Nero's orders.

The hierarchy among Lycanslopes is absolute. Of course, with one exception, the former head of the guard was killed by the attendant.

Nero was not just rational and computational enough to be an undertaker.

With that much power, the Master has entrusted the city to Nero.

The Lycanslopes are gone.

After the raid stopped, Seong-min glanced at Yana.

“It could be a trap. ”

“I suppose so.”

At Yana's words, Lee Sung-min nodded her head and agreed.

I couldn't stop knowing it was a trap. For Lee Sung-min, the Baek Sogo was just as important.

I know where Nero is. The Lord's Palace of the Central District. I used to ride a wagon in the city, but not now.

Lee Seong-min opened her eyes and ran to the mansion's mansion. After that, Yana followed Lee Sung-min, stretching her nine tails.

The door to the Lord's Palace is wide open. It's too obvious for a trap. Lee Sung-min grabbed a spear across his back thinking like that.

“I don't intend to fight. ”

The hall in the mansion that arrived through the door. The Lycanslopes stand swirling around the hall.

Lee Sung-min stands in front of the hall and sees Lycanslope.

Lycanslope, who had his brown hair tied down in a single strand from behind his neck, gave a different impression to the Lycanslopes that Lee has seen so far.

He was neither sluggish nor dressed in ferocious clothes. It was well organized from the hair, and the clothes were less crumpled and were black tuxedos with angles.

I can see the thin eyes beyond Banmute's glasses. He lowered his head slightly toward Lee Sung-min with a selfless smile.

“This is the first time I've actually seen it. My name is Nero. The Lord is in charge of this city while he is away. ”

“... are you not willing to fight? ”

Lee asked with a slight frown.

“I don't understand. I raided this city without warning, and I killed quite a few Lycanslopes on my way here. ”

“That's a shame. ”

Nero said that with all his heart. He brings his hands together in front of his chest, as if mourning the dead Lycanslopes.

“So, let's end this line. because I don't want to see any more tragic deaths. ”

“Let's get it over with?”

“You must have something you want. ”

Nero says with conviction.

“That's why this is happening. No way, earring. You want to challenge Predator's power head-on...... You're not going to do this, are you? ”

It was a question like talking.

“If that's the case, I suggest you change your mind. The Lycanslopes of this city can't stop you, but that doesn't mean the whole Predator can. ”

Is this a threat?

“I'm looking for someone. ”

Lee said, staring at Nero.

“A year ago. There must be... a Luminous Sago in this city. Do you remember?”

“…… A Luminous Saw? ”

Nero's head quickly returns.

He remembered a year ago. Luminous...... Luminous. Ah. Nero's eyes are wide open.

“Are you here to find her? ”

“Yes.”

I don't know what to tell you.

Nero ponders for a moment.

And he didn't miss Nero. A feeling of anxiety deep in your heart. It swells.

That creepy and disgusting feeling made Seong-min snap his teeth.

Again, Jana did not stop Lee. The current is too late to fry. Lee Sung-min reaches for Nero's neck at some point.

Previous Lycanslopes did not respond to isomeric velocity. But not Nero.

He flinches and bends his torso, moving his legs back and forth.

Tsk.

Lee Sung-min's hand grabs the air in vain, trying to strangle Nero.

Damage?

The sound of wall power resounded in Lee Sung-min's body. Internal air and force build up.

Shitty!

The current flowing through the blood increased the speed of the isomers.

“Now, wait... ”

Nero raises his hands in haste.

Bababak!

A sudden burst pushes Nero backwards. The Lycanslopes look different as they circle around the hall.

Nero ordered us to remain silent, but we couldn't ignore Nero, the interim chieftain, when he saw the attack.

Yana moves as the Lycanslopes try to rush in, bursting into the beast's cry.

Phew!

The nine tails that were waving behind her back were shot across the hall.

Jana's tail wraps around the hall. Yana warns you with a kind voice.

“Don't move. ”

Beyond that tail, Lycanslopes stare at Jana with ferocious eyes. Nero groans and rolls the floor in between.

Lee looked down at Nero and spit it out.

“What are you trying to do? ”

“W-what are you talking about? ”

“You're being hit on purpose. Are you deceiving me? ”

“I… I told you I didn't want to fight you……. ”

Nero protests as if he were unfair. But Lee could not understand Nero's attitude any more. Nero avoided or prevented any fatal blow in the middle of a deliberate knockout. You lie on the ground pretending to be weak, just facing an attack that deserves it.

“… what happened to the Luminous Sago? ”

Lee looked down at Nero and asked. Nero still hesitates.

“Tell me...! ”

Lee Sung-min's face distorted. Nero shouts in a hurry.

“This, a year ago. When Lord Joon was in this city. A shimmering Saxogo raided this mansion. ”

It is unknown. Unlike Lee Sung-min and Yana, who came in from the city gates and overwhelmed the Lycanslopes, the Luminous Saxony had infiltrated the city in secret.

She has completely deceived the Lycanslopes who were guarding the city and has swooped across the city and into the Lord's Keep at once.

“She sought the Lord's life. ”

The master's room.

Baek Sogo went in there. Unfit, the way she chose was assassination.

He understood that all-out warfare against a monster called the Master. The master who entered the room did not notice the existence of the Hidden Saxony in the room, and the hand of the Saxony pierced the master's chest.

If he were human, the battle would have ended there.

He didn't die even though his heart was torn. When I saw the principal who regenerated the wound in an instant. Baek Sogo must have experienced his defeat. However, the Saxony did not retreat.

She was going to kill him here, no matter what.

“…… What's next……? ”

“The Luminous Saxony has been defeated. ”

Nero looks at Lee Sung-min and says,

“I'd have to kill him, but the Lord...... was interested in the Luminous White Sogo. And that created a gap. At the crucial moment, the Baek Sogo fled the Lord's grasp. We said we'd go after him, but you didn't have to. ”

You don't have to.

“…… Why……? ”

“Poison.”

A memory passed through Lee Sung-min's head.

The Black Dragon Strait has a scar on its side. Wounds that even Elixirs can't heal.

When Kim Jong-hyeon massacred for the first time in the northern forest. Black Dragon Cove came to this forest to stop Jonghyun Kim, and Joowon was also in that forest.

Lee Sung-min sent his master to the Black Dragon Coven to make them fight.

The Black Dragon Cow was successful in escaping from the Master, but was poisoned by his poison in a fight with the Master. Even the dragon's strong body cannot fully cure its venom as an elixir.

Poison.

And the poison to the Baxogo.

“You will... die unnecessarily." That's what the Lord said. ”

Come on, come on.

Lee Sung-min's body trembled.

So, the Saxony's dead? Because of the Master's Poison? A year ago, you fought the Master and were addicted to the Master's Poison. A year...... if only a year had passed.

“No.”

Lee Sung-min muttered in a trembling voice.

“No way. ”

You should never do that.

“Where...... did they go? ”

The Saxony must not die.

“Well, we don't know. The master said there's no need to chase... ”

“Say... say it. Master's poison. How do I decrypt it? ”

“I don't know... ”

Nero looks at Lee Sung-min and says,

What are we gonna do?

Lee Sung-min wrapped his hands around his head. How, how. First, we need to find the Saxony. No, he can't be dead. Do not die. Yeah, we need to find the white sogo first. So... how?

In Lee's eyes, I saw a bracelet on his wrist.

Lee Hyeong-min hurriedly summoned a fairy horse. When Seong-min climbed onto the fairy horse, Jana followed after him.

“To the Fairy Forest. ”

The elf horse leaps over the space.
