Possessing Nothing

$369.87. Sleeping Forest (4)

Because Ji Ho-yeon said he shouldn't die, Lee Sung-min suggested that Kazuya go to the Fairy Forest with him.

But Kazuya shakes her head, smiling bitterly. In order to keep the seal of the forest, he had to stay in the village, and he was unable to leave the village until he died.

Since it didn't seem like a good thing to live off the cliffs alone, Lee Sung-min used Erebrisa to prepare food for Kazuya and brought it to his room.

Tom.

Ji Ho-yeon is constantly listening to the Magician's feedback. Ji Ho-yeon knows more about the form of the end than Lee.

Before leaving town, Lee looked around the sleeping forest.

Spirit Queens, Vampire Queens, and Tom.

[You said you couldn't harvest.]

Heju was troubled by his thoughts.

[The world is said to be a breeding ground for complete skills. Does it mean that we have not yet acquired the ‘technology’?]

‘...... at the beginning of the apocalypse, the teacher said he was heavily involved. ’

That's what the massacre said. The tetrarch has become too strong as a human being. Because he had reached too high a threshold of nothingness, the end had actually begun. At that point, the technique of privatism would have been fully completed.

The genocide said that the form of the end is different every time. Among them, it is a massacre.

Regrets who return to the past are confirmed as genocide from the moment they return, and when the end comes, they awaken as monsters to kill and eat all the creatures of the world.

I learned one more thing. A sleeping forest, sealed deep within it. Tsk... Seong-min chewed his lower lip well.

Carnage devours existence, and Tom devours the world. And in Tom's belly, the world turns to nothing.

In that way, Tom will appear at the end of the age. W. Hoyen was confident that Tom would not show up yet.

It also meant that Kazuya would never die unless it was the last day of the Apocalypse.

That didn't reassure me. In the future, we will also have to look into Kazuya's identity.

Tom said he was an unbearable monster, and without the end of the apocalypse, he would never wake up.

What to do.

When the bracelet howls, it vibrates.

[Who are you?]

Rubia in her arms asks. Lee Seong-min checked the bracelet on her wrist. Scarlet and the bracelet associated with the Baxogo were reacting when they went to the lake.

The reaction seems to have succeeded in recalling the Spirit King. Lee Sung-min summoned a fairy horse and headed to Behenger.

“It wasn't fun.”

A week later, Chang Wang and Lloyd join the Fairy Forest. Chang told me about what he had experienced, expressing his full belly.

He has been in the Dahar Ruins for almost ten days and has succeeded in attacking the descending Spirit King and summoning him back.

“The way you attack is tricky and annoying. It was not fun except for other things. I waited for ten days, and I was disappointed. ”

“I'm glad it was easy. ”

“Are the spiritual kings always this weak? ”

The Spear King grumbles. The Spirit King is not weak, he is too strong.

Chang Wang was an unmanned man at the apex of the weapon of Chang, and even the spirit of the tetrarch, which was the one who brought the end to this world, was a great man.

“The spiritual kings who came right away are weak. ”

“Look at this. Are you siding with the same spirit now? ”

“I'm not taking sides……. ”

“It's nothing, really. Wouldn't I rather die fighting over there? Or should I have waited a little while for him when he came? ”

Rubia's shoulders tremble as the Spear King struggles. Among the comrades of Lee Sung-min in the Fairy Forest, the person who had the worst personality was Chang Wang.

“... It's just that my grandfather is very strong. Okay?"

“What am I, a grandfather? ”

“You're my age. ”

Rubia grunts and snorts. Lloyd sits down a little distance from the Chang King and sighs deeply.

Within ten days, Lloyd's cheeks receded. I didn't have to ask, but I could see how much he suffered at the Dahar Ruins from the Chang King.

“You've done well. ”

You slap Lloyd on the shoulder with a face that the Black Dragon Cow understands. Scarlet is at the Horse Tower, and the Saxony sits meditating in the shade of a tree.

[Lee Sung-min.]

Yana talks to Lee Sung-min who listened to Chang Wang's grumbling. Lee looked back. Yana stood at a distance looking at Lee Sung-min.

[What's going on?]

[Pause……]

Yana looks embarrassed. It was the first time Yana made that face. Lee Sung-min ignored Chang's chatter and approached Yana.

[…… it's time to go to the spirit spirit.]

At that, Lee Sung-min's cheeks slightly stiffened. Yana's strength as a gumiho was given directly by the sorcerer. Because of this, Jana had to regularly go to the spirit of the Heurion Mountains for a ritual.

Lee has never been to the spirit spirit. I originally wanted to go to the spirit spirit after waking up from the seal and meet the witch.

However, I didn't care that Erebrissa's Lapath told me not to trust magic too much. Ever since, I've been avoiding encounters with witches.

[…… what happens if I don't go?]

[I will lose my power as a gumiho.]

Yana smiles bitterly and says. Gumiho is a monster that transforms after a thousand years of practice.

After 400 years, Jana was not enough to become a gumiho. It was a fact Jana herself admitted.

[What I got from the sorcerer was a force I could never have had. No matter how talented I was as a monster, I couldn't help but build up my natural strength through a thousand years of practice.]

The spirit listens to Jana's wishes and gives her the strength she needs to become a gumiho.

[If you go to the Spirit Spirit and become unconscious, the Magician's power will disappear. That was the contract from the beginning.]

‘… OK. ’

The loss of power as Gumiho was not only for Lee, but also for Yana. I knew there was nothing I could do.

Maybe he's just overreacting. That's all Laplace told me about the suspicion of witches, and maybe there's no other scheme for witches.

Lee Sung-min took Yana on a fairy horse to the senior group. I had something to do with the group.

“Again.”

I looked at Lee Sung-min with the expression that Frau was sick of it. With that blatant gaze, Lee Sung-min calmly pulled tribute out of his arms.

Frau tugs his tongue out as he climbs onto the table with a large gold ingot and a few jewels.

“That's too much money to say no to. ”

“Please.”

“Give it to me. ”

Frau grumbles and reaches out to Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min gave Frau a gentle glance while placing the monthly items found at the Moon Palace on the table. Frau licks his lower lip with his tongue.

“Why? Let's do it." ”

“Yes?”

“No? Then why are you looking at people like that? ”

“No...... It's not uncomfortable for me to come to you like this every time. So... ”

“Get lost.”

Frau's eyes gleam and glow.

“This kind of relationship is perfect. Your fate is no longer seen, and your compulsory fate is no longer tied to you…… so you are more dangerous. It's a good place to die with you. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“Being free of fate means being free of anything. ”

Frau mumbled as he raised his admiration on the table. The surface was worn out and dirty for a long time.

“He doesn't stay calm. He denies the fate of the world. How can you accept the existence of a god who has destined you and is leading the world to your destiny? ”

“…… you won't be interested. ”

“Maybe. It's impossible to change the location of a rock by throwing an egg. By the way, the egg that hit the rock must be broken. ”

Frau grins.

“…… I don't want to call Abel's death a dog's death. I don't want to tell you he was as bad as an egg. But Abel ended up dead. ”

“If it comes to an end, everyone will die. ”

“If everyone dies, it's only fair. ”

Frau laughs loudly.

“If you insist on stopping the apocalypse and struggling, and you end up dead, and the consequences of the apocalypse change...... then what? I'm already dead. I'm dead, but other people are laughing in a world with no apocalypse. I don't like that. Why, do I look selfish? ”

“Yes.”

“It's good to be honest. Yeah, I'm selfish. I know only myself. I don't want to get killed. Anyway, I don't want to be stuck with you and get killed. ”

Still.

“Let me give you some advice. I told you about fate a long time ago. ”

A force that works on fate.

If you are living in this world, you are inevitably, inevitably, and of course, involved in the great flow of destiny.

Fate is ambiguous and can be altered at any time, but the flow is not so great that it doesn't completely change fate itself.

“You don't belong in the flow of escape from destiny. So, the existence of you can create a big variable against destiny. But... if you hit your destiny again and again, it will get crushed, whether you like it or not. You and those who act with you. ”

Frau mutters and forms a Demibeast. After a month, the objects left on the table were wrapped in a faint glow.

“…… What is this? ”

Frau mutters.

Out of the way!

Stuff in the fog is shattered. Frau hurriedly casts a spell and opens his hands to form a boundary.

Phew!

A white glow rises from the smashed object and attacks Frau. But before that, the boundary that was opened blocked the light.

“Look. ”

Frau looks annoyed and spits out.

“Being with you will kill the dog. ”

“What was that? ”

“Don't you see? The owner of the item had built this device from the beginning. He planted a curse that triggers when someone tries to chase him through this. A shaman my size would have died without a curse. ”

Frau wields his hand and removes the smashed items to his side.

“Tracking the location has failed. Seeing that you planted the curse, you probably didn't want to be discovered. If they fail, they won't return the jewelry. I almost died. ”

“…… Gems are fine. ”

“Go back. ”

Frau slaps his hand on the bed.

“I don't want to get involved with you anymore because of this. ”

You salute the grumbling Frau and come out of the mansion. Lee did not immediately return to the Fairy Forest.

While I was out, there was a place to stop by.
