Possessing Nothing

Before you go to the sleeping forest. Lee Sung-min sat down with a diaphragm in the middle of the fairy forest.

Right behind you is Osla's lake. Lee Sung-min closed his eyes, ignoring Osla, the fairies, and Teresa's gaze.

“What happened? ”

“Nothing happened. ”

The Black Dragon Cow answered Teresa's question. It wasn't a good story to say that eating people was okay, but I didn't tell Teresa about it because I knew about the Black Dragon Strait.

Teresa understands that the body of a rational person is a monster, not a human, but that doesn't mean Teresa will understand cannibals.

Despite not having to listen to the explanation, Osla realized what was happening to Lee Sung-min.

She quietly flaps her wings and places her hands on Lee's shoulders.

[I could have helped you.]

‘I just didn't want to create any problems. ’

What are you talking about?]

Lee Sung-min told Osla about his concern. Osla puffs his cheeks.

[…… Thank you for your consideration.]

"What if Queen enters Fairy Forest?" ’

[Are you asking me if I can contain the queen?]

"Yes."

[…… ummm…….]

Osla rubs her wings and ponders for a moment.

[…… you can't kill Queen. I told you, she's a creature of the world, beyond the power of the transcendent. I'm taller if I look at it from the standpoint of existence...... But that doesn't mean that I can suppress the queen.]

"And?"

[We can't kill each other. Because it's impossible for me to die in these woods, and it's impossible for me to kill her.]

So, how did you know? ’

[Your energy has changed a bit. Your strength is getting fierce.You 'd better not eat too much. It's not a good idea to add cannibalism to a monster's body, even if there isn't an extreme storm like before.]

Lee Sung-min nodded, listening to Osla's advice. I focused my mind and stuffed the memory of the hematoma.

An unmanned memory with private memories removed.

The herd the hematoma had.

In fact, few of them were useful. Lee Sung-min already had a group of unmanned quadriplegics that were higher than hematomas.

Even if I did not fully understand it, it was important to know. It means that there is still room for growth.

‘You have to do a dislocation. ’

You need to have at least that level. Her current skills are limited to the hematoma.

I used the last herbivore to kill the hematoma, but I fell exhausted shortly after.

Can we use the theater to kill Jennifer? I'm not sure. There is no aftermath of failing to kill. Trauma was a vital herbalist, and it had to be killed.

What else can I do? ’

I can't see the path.

I succeeded in achieving a new coalition day while being able to use the drama. However, it was still too much to apply other benefits to the body.

I just follow my herbalist brother everywhere. It is hard to open your heart freely without herbs. Should we first abandon the brother of the herbivore? What time is it?

There are three balls that Lee Sung-min can spread properly.

Gucheon Muchang, Soulless, Hemophilus Mascot.

Almost as if he was the brother of herbivores, but not the immortal soul and the nine-thousandth pole.

I thought about the way the tetrarch fought. He used only a single piece of Heimlich.

There was no such thing as herbs. Every gesture of the tetrarch was considered neogenetics.

‘We're running out of time. ’

It was too little. Will I ever be able to get Denir to do it again? No, that's impossible.

Denir nails his performance only once. Then, shall we return to Mt. Mesh?

I don't know what will happen in the future, but I can't be isolated on Mt. Mesh.

Abandoning the brother of herbivores, taking a deep dive, and moving on to a higher ground. Things that might be impossible, even if you spend your whole life.

[Don't be overwhelmed.]

A voice-over wakes up the immersive spirit.

[Do what you can first. Things you haven't even done yet. Don't be overwhelmed by things you may or may not be able to do. Jennifer's a mess, but you don't stand a chance. Luckily, you have people around you to help you.]

Yes, Lee Sung-min lifted his head with a tingling headache. He looks down at the mask he put in his arms.

If only the tetrarch were alive. I thought about it for a moment, and I shook my head. It's a pointless idea.

Rather, I felt comfortable giving up the battle with Hematoma. It's hard to get to the sleeping forest on a fairy horse right now anyway.

There was no signal for those heading to Lake Cheneron and the ruins of Dahar. They should have arrived by now, but the Spirit King hasn't arrived yet.

By the time the blessing was over, the night had already passed. I couldn't sleep. The head was complicated. I didn't want to be crushed, but that wasn't easy.

Lee Sung-min quietly got up. I thought I'd swing a spear, but I didn't want to wake the sleepers.

[Why don't you go to the sleeping forest.]

Heju advised.

[You could ride a fairy horse right now. I can't sleep anyway. If the Spirit Queen had come, Lloyd would have told us with bracelets, but there's no signal like that. You'd better check it out.]

‘Yes.'

It's a long way to go for a sleepless stroll, but if you're riding a fairy horse, it's quick. Lee Sung-min was conscious of the sleeping forest on a fairy horse.

The place he thought of was the first place he met Heju. Then the elf waves his head, blushing.

What the hell?

“You can't go. ”

Osla, lying on the lake's surface, says in a sleepy voice.

“Fairy horses don't make it everywhere. It's the only place in the world. I don't know where you think you are, but where you want to go is a place where fairies cannot go. It's a place that doesn't exist. ”

“I can't.”

Lee Sung-min looked down at the fairy horse with an incomprehensible face. I thought of the place where I met Heju again, but this time I just shook my head at the fairy horse.

Lee remembered the first time he went to sleep in the forest. Without the help of the clans protecting the sleeping forest, there is no way through the forest.

Are you telling me that the forest's boundaries are too strong for fairies to surpass?

“Where are you going? ”

Rubia rubs her sleepy eyes. Lee Sung-min grabs Rubia's hand, thinking it's going well.

When Rubia looks surprised, Lee Sung-min picks up his index finger and puts it on his lips.

“Get in.”

The situation was explained later. Lee Sung-min rode off on a fairy horse with Rubia, being careful not to wake the others. His arrival was at the entrance to the village of his clan, near the sleeping forest.

“This place……. ”

About that time, Rubia opens her eyes and mutters. Lee Sung-min came down from the fairy horse and asked Rubia.

“A sleeping forest. ”

“What are you doing here? ”

“I wanted to see the state of the forest before the Queen of Spirits came. I have a few questions. ”

If you think about it, sleeping forests used to be a place with a lot of questions.

Why Envirus came here.

Lee Sung-min couldn't figure out the reason to the end. Envirus tries to see something in the sleeping forest.

It was a coincidence that Lee Sung-min went to sleep in the forest after Envirus, and it was also a coincidence that he met Heju here.

The massacre said that the rational people before Awakening were so weak that they needed help.

“Why did Envirus come to these woods? ”

“… I don't know…… that. ”

Rubia pouts and replies.

“You didn't tell me everything. All I heard from my master was that I should wait here...... and meet Sung-min and go with him. ”

Envirus handed Rubia over to a reasonable person to monitor her condition.

Envirus had a slight glimpse of his destiny and was somewhat aware of the dangerous existence of his people. I didn't know it was a genocide.

Envirus was wary that Lee Sung-min might be eaten by Heo Joo because he has become strong as a monster.

“Don't you know anything else? ”

“The master tried to get to the end of the forest. But you failed.”

“Failed?”

“Yes.”

Rubia nods.

“Actually, I don't know. He came back... I can't, after going all the way. With a very sad face. ”

Envirus is dead.

What's in there? ’

[Don't know.]

Heju replied.

[I would have told you then. This forest is a place where the souls of ancient monsters are bound.]

This is the story I heard when I first met Heju. The clan that manages this forest keeps the forest sealed just by being present.

The seal prevents the spirited monsters from waking up in the forest.

Is Kazuya alive? ’

Lee Sung-min remembered the chief of the village I met a long time ago. Kazuya was leading a tribe to protect the forest, and was pursuing the family's grievance.

But it was Kazuya who didn't know what they wanted to hear.

When I first met Heo Joo, Seong-min asked Heo Joo. Do you want a grudge from the forest? At that time, Heju said he was just a creature in the middle of the road, unrelated to the forest's grudge.

Seong-min slowly entered the village. The morning is approaching, but the town is quiet.

Ten years ago, it was small and there weren't that many people...... but now the town was even smaller than before. Lee looked around.

I smelled it.

Lee Seong-min approached the nearest house. Push the closed door slightly. The unlocked door opens easily as you push it.

“Ugh…. ”

Rubia, who was behind Lee Sung-min's back, lets out a cry. Lee Sung-min frowns because of the smell.

A body lies lying in the doorway to the door. We get a closer look, and it turns out it wasn't someone who killed her.

‘Plague……? ’

The body has been dead for quite some time and has suffered natural damage. Lee Seong-min passed through the body and went inside. It may be contagious, but it was irrelevant to the diseased heterosexual.

It wasn't just the body in the hallway. There were bodies of the same mollusk in the room.

The whole town did.

[It's difficult.]

Heju mutters.

[They're going to die. I can't help it. They've been frail as long as they can. He said he'd overcome it and learned to do it without balls, but just because he can do it with a weak body doesn't mean he can have access to water. Their lives are too short in the first place.]

Even Elixir, the Elixir of Universe, can't help that kind of disease.

[I can't help but notice that the seals of the forest won't hold once the villagers are all dead.]

‘You don't even know what's sealed. ’

[I know they're old monsters. Doesn't that feel ominous? They may be one of the apocalypses.]

There may be survivors. Lee Sung-min headed to Kazuya's house. Even though the house didn't have a light on, it made people anxious, but as I opened my senses, there was popularity in it. He slowly opens the door.

“Who are you?”

You hear a powerless voice.

“Little man, is that you? ”

The question that followed made Lee Sung-min's face stiff.
