Possessing Nothing

An explosion erupts, and the light envelops the area.

Lee Sung-min was swept away by the irresistible waves of light and looked for others.

Scarlet, Saxony, Jana. How they're doing, how they're doing. But the light that covered her eyes was so strong that she couldn't even see what was in front of her nose.

Even with a feeling that made me feel something I couldn't see with my own eyes, I couldn't understand their existence.

Are you okay?

Only the voices of the forgetfulness are clear. Blind eyes and closed senses.

Everything else was fine. Lee Sung-min tried to move his arms forward.

Sudden spatial erosion.

I haven't heard from Scarlet yet. I said it's dangerous... but is it really so? The light passes through.

Lee Sung-min stood in his place, but he felt an acceleration for no reason. It felt strange, but not dangerous enough.

Meanwhile.

Lee saw something. As the light passes by. It's fast, it's slow, it stops at some point.

Inside, Lee Sung-min stood the leader. The landscape that I saw was either past or future or present.

Lee Sung-min's eyes became dazed. Standing beyond the stopped storm of light, it was an unforgettable face.

Almost unchanged, but slightly changed. The obvious difference is that the hair grew longer.

A little... skinny? Although she was originally a homeless woman, Lee Sung-min noticed that her face was slightly thinner than 10 years ago.

Fatigue, boredom, annoyance, anger are all over your face. I can't see where the eyes are headed with all these different emotions.

“Wiji……. ”

Hoyeon.

I pressed panic and called out her name with desperation. I wonder if his voice reached out.

Wijihoyen's head, which is beyond the storm of light, turns around. It was only a big one, but it made a completely different impression.

Lee Sung-min and Wei Ji-ho-yeon's eyes touched. W. Hoenn opened his mouth to say Moore.

The landscape stops moving. The landscape passes quickly. The flames, the wind, the water...... and the clumps of them pass by.

What? Seong-min ran forward without any hesitation. It was to catch the passing Wiji Hoenn.

Far. No, to be precise, the body is barely moving forward. The space that passed was too far to chase, even at the speed of the isomers.

Was that a vision I saw a moment ago? Why are you having these visions right now?

I saw something beyond the storm of light.

It was a cat's ear that shrunk.

At that moment, Lee Sung-min grabbed on to it without thinking back and forth.

Kwadang Tang!

The storm disappears, and Lee Sung-min rolls the ground as he runs.

In case you get hurt, you hold her in your arms and give her a shock absorber.

However, unlike what I expected, the rolling around shocks were not so strong. Instead, it was the currents of the cold lake that struck Sung-min.

Puhuack!

After being sucked into the water once, Seong-min quickly ran out of the lake.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!"

A loud scream continues without rest. Lee looked at the direction of the sound, ignoring the falling drops of water.

Scarlet sits curled up in a enchanted circle. Standing in a crooked position not far away, the Saxogo immediately posture, and Jana, wrapped around her body with nine tails, lowered her tail.

Scarlet's scream stops for a long time. She looks around, clearing her throat. Then, he unsealed the magic barrier that was protecting him with his bare hands.

“…… I thought I was going to die. ”

“Me, too."

“He should be dead, actually. The space erosion that just happened is a disaster that you can't even imagine with magic. Surprisingly, nothing happened. ”

“Haven't you seen it? ”

“Are you making fun of me? You saw me screaming with my eyes closed. Don't you want to see? ”

Scarlet rubs his red ears in disgust. I didn't mean it like that.

Lee Seong-min stepped back a little while and saw Yana and Baek Sogo. When they looked at each other, they shook their heads.

“I couldn't see anything because I was blinded. ”

“So am I. ”

Then was it really a fantasy? No, I couldn't think like that. Lee looked down into his arms.

At that moment, I didn't see it wrong. A cat's ear that just popped up. The idea that I was happy was more than a sudden thought.

The last will and testament of the dead miners is in my head. Someday, if I get the chance. I didn't think that one day would be today.

“Dear Rubia, ”

It was Rubia who fainted in Lee Sung-min's arms. She saw it in Germoud ten years ago and couldn't even say hello.

Lee Sung-min grabbed Rubia's wrist. I just lost my mind. The blood runs through your veins, and Rubia's body trembles.

“…… ugh…! ”

Soon after, Rubia closes her eyes. The eyes of the light returned and saw Lee Sung-min. Rubia's mouth widens.

“Here, here. Calm down."

Lee Sung-min raised her hand to calm her down before Rubia screamed. Starting with the great scream, it takes a long time to calm down.

Lee Sung-min looked into Rubia's eyes and explained the situation.

He was caught in a massive space erosion, saw something strange in the passing storm of light, and saw Rubia before the storm was over, grabbed hold.

“Are you crazy?"

While Lee Sung-min was explaining the situation, Rubia was somewhat calm about this sudden situation.

But at the last words of Lee Sung-min, Rubia was utterly out of her mind.

“Why did you catch me in that situation? Fortunately for us, self-sufficiency would have plunged into the gaps in the entire space and become Mia forever. Or I'll blow up and die! ”

“…… I'm sorry. I didn't know anything about it. But you're lucky to be alive, no matter what. ”

“You've got a lot of nerve without me seeing you. ”

“When you get older, you get bolder. ”

Rubia laughs in vain in her reply. She glances at Lee Sung-min for a moment, sighing deeply and saying.

“Can you let go of my hand first? ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

Lee Sung-min placed her wrist, which she still held. Rubia gives you a fat look and rushes out of Lee's arms.

After 10 years, or more, Rubia remained the young she had seen in the forest for the first time.

Not because he wasn't old, but because Rubia was created.

“It's been a long time. You didn't even say hello 10 years ago. ”

“…… How are you? ”

“I haven't been well. At that time, the duty of the Spirit Queen to me was to take care of you...... Envirus. But when I came to my senses, I was back in the spirit system. At that moment, I learned that my master had died. I would have perished in her wrath, but she was deep asleep at the time. ”

Rubia's expression grows bitter. She saved her life because of the queen's ten-year slumber, but she didn't consider it fortunate.

Rubia truly served her master, Envirus. At the most important moment, I felt guilty that I had lost my mind and could not prevent the owner from being killed.

“I thought if she woke up, she'd be punished. But... before I was punished, someone invaded the spirit system. ”

“…… Yes? ”

Everyone listens to Rubia. Rubia is making way more of a pickaxo than Scarlet or Jana.

A long time ago, I remember going into the dungeon with Lee Sung-min to save Baek Sogo.

“You know him well. ”

I don't know if you can call it a person.

Rubia adds a small voice.

“About a full month ago, a human... entered this spiritual system. I don't know how she got into the spirit system. Perhaps, other spirits in the Spirit Realm, even the Queen, will not know how she got in. It's impossible for humans to enter the spirit system. ”

“…… What happened since then? ”

“W-Wijho-yeon, he attacked the Queen. ”

Rubia couldn't figure out how to explain what she saw. It was the first time I had ever seen a fight of beings of that magnitude and that magnitude.

The Spirit Realm is the Queen's territory.

At the first stroke of her hand, the top spirits move with terrible power.

Nevertheless, the queen did not conquer Hoenn while fighting in the spirit world.

The top spirits perished only by being struck by fragments of the power that protruded during the battle between Wiji Hoyen and the Queen.

“The fight never stopped for a full day. ”

I mean, I don't think I'm human. It is natural for the queen to not wither in the spirit system, but Wijihoyeon also did not get tired or dry at all during the mid-morning battle.

“The ongoing battle was right before the destruction of the spirit system itself. At that moment, the queen urgently eroded the spirit system into the world to prevent it from being completely destroyed. I shouldn't have done it... But the Queen didn't mind. ”

“There were many spirits on this mountain. ”

Scarlet mutters as he listens.

“Looks like this mountain was a strong spot for the connection to the Spirit System. I can't believe I'm so unlucky. Why is this happening while we're here? ”

“If the spirit was eroded in this world, what happened to the spirits and queens in the spirit system? ”

“…… It wasn't ready enough, and the Queen was tired of erosion. In fact, if she hadn't intervened, she would have succeeded in erosion without any anxiety after she was ready. ”

“Then what happens? ”

“The end.”

Rubia gives you a sluggish voice.

“In many ways. Like the Wizard over there said, Eria has a few more spiritual spots just like this mountain. The erosion that started there must have completely destroyed the area, and then it must have come to this world with the powerful spirits of the Spirit and the power of the Queen. And she did what she wanted to do. ”

Termination.

Hearing Rubia's story, Lee Sung-min is silent.

Incomplete erosion.

I couldn't figure out how far the Spirit Queen's wishes had come. However, even though Lee Sung-min was imperfect, he had no choice but to think that the Queen of Spirits herself had come to Eria.

The reason was simple. In today's world, the Queen of Spirits was doomed.

Ever since Envirus was killed by his brother Abel. The Spirit Queen came to us as the end and was destined to destroy this world.

“…… Do you know of any other spots where the Spirit's power is strong beyond this mountain? ”

“…… I don't know. ”

Rubia replies with a depressed voice.

“I'm, frankly, confused. The Queen is trying to destroy the world... But my master was trying to save it. I……. ”

“What does Rubia want? ”

Lee Sung-min asked, looking at Rubia.

“I know Envirus was trying to save the world. Even though he died like that, what he really wanted to save the world was the truth. The Fairy Queen is trying to hold the world responsible for Envirus' death. ”

Rubia doesn't say anything.

“…… Where did Grandpa Guangcheongma go? ”

After a little silence, Rubia asks. The expression on Lee Sung-min's face was stiff. After hesitating for a moment, Lee Sung-min sighed and answered.

“... At that time, he died...... in a group of elders. ”

“…… Ah……. ”

Rubia's mouth opens. Rubia's two deaf ears sag.

“KwangcheonMa left me this will before he died. Someday...... I want you to make sure Rubia is okay. ”

“I've been... doing well." ”

“From now on?”

Rubia raises her eyes. Her eyes were wet with moisture, perhaps because of old memories.

“In the future, the Queen of Spirits will destroy this world. I'm going to stop her with power. Then you might have a chance against Rubia. if you take the Queen of Spirits' side. ”

“…… I'm not…… very strong. ”

“Then I'll die. ”

Rubia finally shed a tear.

“Why is this happening? ”

Rubia lets out a cry.

“My grandfather is dead, and my teacher is dead. Why is this happening to me? ”

“Because some son of a bitch is pouring the world down like that. I aim to kill that son of a bitch. ”

Seriously, Lee Sung-min's voice is full of life.

“And now I must strike down the Spirit Queen." To be honest, Rubia, I wish you could help me, but I understand that you have a position. You're a spirit after all. If you're loyal to the Queen, you'll be with that crazy bitch who wants to destroy the world. If, when I stand before the Queen of Spirits. ”

Lee Sung-min reached out and wiped Rubia's tears.

“Run. Then I won't have to kill you." ”

Lee Seong-min said so and turned away. Apart from finding the spots, Lee Sung-min decided to do something different. To do that, I had to leave this place first.

“…… Lake Cheneron. The site of the Dahar Ruins.Pémoud Volcano. ”

Rubia mutters.

“And sleeping forests...... here, in the Yuzukia Mountains. These five spots are powerful for Spirits. I can't... feel her presence... yet. If the Queen had come into this world, I would have known. ”

“You mean we failed the descent? ”

“No, that's not it... ”

Rubia stops speaking.

[You talk too much.]

The roaring voice vibrates the space. A massive wind swept through the area.

You would betray the Queen?]

A giant man rises from the winds.
