Possessing Nothing

It was not difficult to convince.

The church was much more supportive than Lee Sung-min's concerns. If the Church had a different intention, or if it was just a group that filled my heart, it would have benefited them from what happened in Germoud 10 years ago.

But the church did not. It's because they weren't the group that filled the gap in the first place.

Just like Theos had a slight wrinkle 10 years later. So was Teresa.

Ten years ago, she was a teenage girl, but now she was a woman in her mid-20s.

Teresa had a sacred beauty, but her eyes remained pure 10 years ago. She folds her hands together and bows her head to Lee Sung-min.

“I am deeply grateful for what happened 10 years ago. Lee Sung-min, without your help, we wouldn't have made it out of that awful city 10 years ago. ”

Teresa closes her eyes.

“You and the Wizard's Guild Master have risked their lives to defeat the Lord Desknight and the Demon King. And... when the Demon King's deadly curse drove you mad. We had no choice but to retreat. ”

“I know I had no choice. ”

“But I feel guilty that I didn't do anything. Lee Sung-min, you said that your Apostle Shining Sago stopped you from doing what we couldn't. And now she's dying of a deadly poison. ”

“Yes, so please……. ”

“Of course I can help. ”

Teresa said without hesitation.

“I am well aware of the cooperation of the Luminous Saxony. Okay, let's go. ”

Unlike expected, Teresa was very active. She immediately rises to her feet, placing her hands on her waist, and staring at her.

“Theos. Please take care of the Pope yourself. ”

“I understand.”

“Come on, let's go. ”

Teresa glows and says. I was embarrassed by his motivational attitude. Is that okay with you? But they're the only adults in the church.

“But you've changed a lot since 10 years ago. ”

Teresa laughs, smiling at Lee Sung-min, who summons a fairy horse.

He paused and touched the head roughly tied behind his back with his hand. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was busy walking around and I haven't even cut my hair yet.

“You look great together. And…… ten years ago, the poison that was killing you. ”

“What happened? ”

“… I don't know. I might as well call it poison now. You've become who you are. ”

It is because the body has become completely monstrous. Lee Sung-min climbed onto the fairy horse with a big smile.

Teresa jumps up behind the fairy horse and jumps over before Lee Sung-min gives her a hand for help.

“By the way, what happens if you take this? ”

I got in because I thought I had to. Teresa was unaware of the fairy horse. There was no need to explain.

The elf horse leaps over the space.

“You wear it well. ”

Behind the flashing light, a fairy horse leaps out of a crack in the space. Osla sticks her tongue out to see a reasonable man coming down from above the fairy horse.

“What would you have done without the fairy horse? ”

“Must have been running around on fire a few months back and forth. ”

Lee Sung-min smiled bitterly and replied. I was cheerful when I climbed up, but when I came down from the horse, Teresa was about to die.

She crouches down and sits on the floor with her hands placed on her face.

“I feel bad... …. ”

“Some people are born wrong. Like a hangover.”

Osla giggles. Teresa raises her head forcefully and looks at Osla. Soon, Teresa's eyes opened wide.

“F-fairy…?! ”

“Those who see us always say that. ”

Osla whistles as if to sing. Teresa opens her mouth and sees the elves lurking with Osla. Soon, she calmed down and said.

“Where is the light bulb? ”

You and Teresa head to the Baxogo. On the way, Yana's eyes met Jana, resting on her back, leaning against the tree.

Yana greets Lee Sung-min and Teresa with a slight nod, and Teresa sags behind her back.

“I know, I know. I swooped by, but I saw. Nine tails... Gumiho, right? ”

“Yes.”

“What a... big network you have. ”

Teresa mutters admirably. At that, Lee Sung-min smiled, panting.

“You're early. ”

There is a scarlet beside the lying Baxogo. Luckily, Scarlet adds that and touches the closed forehead of the white sogo.

“Suddenly I blacked out. Before that, Saxony told me. Don't be so surprised when things go right. But how can it be a person's heart? ”

If it were only a little later, he would have called to Lee Sung-min with a bracelet. Teresa came out from behind Lee Sung-min's back after figuring out the situation.

She closes her eyes, seated next to the Baxogo. The pure light began to spread around Teresa.

Scarlet flinches back, and Lee Sung-min is moderately distant from Teresa. Despite being a complete monster, Teresa's divine power was still fatal to him.

Teresa grabbed the wrist of the Baek Sogo while exerting divine power. Lee Sung-min and Scarlet stood beside Teresa and looked at the white sogo with worried eyes.

“You don't have to worry too much. ”

Osla came next to Lee Sung-min.

“The poison that's piled up on the Saxony's body is being purified. It may take a little longer, but the poison itself should be able to be purified. ”

This is amazing. Osla shudders.

“Even I, the Queen of the Fairies, was a poison I could not control. It was a poison that was engraved in existence and poisoned to death. Purifying it with divine power alone... I heard it's the only saint in the church, so it's worth mentioning. ”

A little more time passed. Teresa slowly opens her eyes.

“Phew.”

She takes a short breath and wipes the sweat off her brow.

“That's enough.”

Teresa smiles brightly and says:

“It's over.”

Next to Teresa, the Baek Sogo breathes with a calm complexion.

* * *

I was watching.

She was watching everything. A long sleep restrained her body, but not her mind.

In the beginning, she was transcendent, not bound by the body and spirit, and if she wanted, her mind could leave the sleeping body at any time.

So, she watched her lover. Even if you break your contract with Mana and lose your magical ability.

Even though my legs are barely moving and I'm in a wheelchair. Even if you're a wrinkled old man who can't fully suppress aging with magic.

The Queen of Spirits loved a human named Cain. It was like an imprint. The affection that the Spirit Queen has for Cain is an imprint that will never be erased.

Summon.

And a contract.

Many of the spirits dreamed of contracting with the king of all spirits, but Cain was the only one who could do it.

Cain called on the Spirit Queen for the first time to sign a contract. The queen gave her name as a kindness to the Summoner who had called her for the first time.

But the Queen of Spirits should not be summoned into this world.

Instead, many of the spirits she's been vowing at have followed Cain's orders. It was good that way.

The Queen of Spirits has a deep affection for Cain, who first summoned herself.

Cain was the only understander and contractor of the queen who was not equally connected to anything in the world.

Obsession first, affection first. The queen couldn't figure it out now.

The trigger was not important. Seriously, all the queen could do was say, "What the hell." I loved him, and I wanted to protect him.

So I broke my promise and saved Cain. I wanted to save his life. The end? It was none of your business. Everything was good with Cain.

Such Cain is dead.

It was a miserable death. The space I made for Cain. The mansion you built for Cain.

If you open your eyes one day, your body is free. I used to imagine living there with Cain.

The demon who came knocking at the door slaughters Cain by the throat. I think you said that, but it didn't mean much to the queen.

The important thing for her is that Cain is dead. The mere mortal who killed Cain is dead.

What do we do? What do we do?

In the sleeping body, the queen's spirit spins around. Lost hatred and vengeance engulfed her mind.

Why did Cain have to die? I saved his life, even after I broke my promise. Why is Cain dead?

To save the world.

Yeah, that was it. To stop the apocalypse. Cain is dead as a sacrifice to him.

That's why. For the Queen, it was also ‘just’.

What does that have to do with the end of the world? Cain should have lived happily ever after in that mansion with the Queen.

Such Cain is dead. Cain is dying to save the world.

“No. ”

The open queen said it first. An unbearable hatred and anger opened her eyes.

Originally, I had to sleep a lot longer than this. It didn't matter now. The queen was willing to give up everything.

Promise. Her presence as Queen of Spirits. A new world to return to after the end of the world. All the spirits you rule.

Cain is dead. After he died like that, Cain's death cannot change the fate of the world.

That angered the queen. She opened her eyes and was about to become one of the catastrophes of the end.

I was going to come to the world, ignoring all my promises. The law that we should not come into the world unless we give up our promise and accept destruction on our own accord does not hold her guilty.

It was by spirits and witches in the first place. If you want the Spirit Queen to be the Apocalypse, the world with the Apocalypse will not reject it.

The open queen leaves her room. All the spirits gather beneath her palace with the queen's eyes wide open.

They were connected to one spirit. All the spirits knew the queen's anger, her hatred and vengeance. And I empathized with that.

The artificial spirit, Rubia Bay, trembles at the queen's feet. The queen gave no regard to Rubia.

The fierce vengeance, hatred, and anger narrowed her gaze.

The queen was about to declare. Accept destruction and become an apostle of destruction. All spirits will come to the world with the will of destruction.

With so much destruction, the queen will wipe out the world. The Spirit of Water will drive the sea mad, causing the coastal cities to swallow waves, and the Spirit of Earth will shake all the land.

The Spirit of Fire will make lava gush from the gaps created by the Spirit of Earth.

The Spirit of Wind will send his flame to all worlds. And the Queen of Spirits will gladly watch over it.

The Spirit Queen raises her hands. Now, I was going to declare it.

I was going to.

‘It’ was behind all spirits from some point on. No spirit. Even the queen who rules this spiritual system did not notice its existence.

It…… ignored even the fundamental law that no one other than the Spirit should enter the Spirit system lightly.

It was in a position that transcended all laws by being alone.

When the sackcloth was fluttering. All spirits between it and the Queen of Spirits have vanished. Then the Queen of Spirits noticed its existence.

“The Queen of Spirits. ”

That.

She mutters with a voice full of prey.

“Sarahenne.”

It was the queen's name. The name that none other than Cain should know came from her mouth.

Somehow, this became a boring task for her.

Drifting a dungeon. Break it down, absorb the force, and the force that's blown away doesn't feel much different than it did before, keeps on drifting, endlessly. It's already spoken once 10 years, 10 years ago. "Save him." If you refuse, I'll kill myself.

“I had a hard time getting here. ”

Wijihoyen looked at the Queen of Spirits and said, I forgot the number of dungeons I was attacking a long time ago and gave up counting.

The dungeons that Wijihoyeon has been attacking until now have become a disaster of the end of Eria, open together when the time has come.

Now, the end is not coming.

“What's your number? ”

He tilted his head and asked.

What kind of disaster?
