Possessing Nothing

Jamie doesn't smile. I've always laughed at my mouth. I couldn't smile at the situation as Jamie.

She lowers her gaze slightly and puckers her lips. I rubbed my clasped fingers in front of each other, blatantly expressing anxiety about what was to come.

That look on Jamie's face was better. Chen and Kun shudder with their pale faces.

Jennifer, sitting on the rock, says nothing.

The full moon she created is not yet dark. Under a small full moon overhead, Xeniella looks at her bloodline with an expressionless face.

The corpse of the broken blade is rigid beside her. I didn't open anyone's mouth. In that cold silence, only Preskan is estranged.

Prescan sits in a place where Zeniella's nerves are not bothered and slams her in the throat.

He didn't even feel comfortable crying because he was angry because of the noise.

That made Prescan even scarier. I can't believe I lost my only daughter in front of my eyes and can't even cry.

“…… sin…… sorry……. ”

The silence seems unfinished. Kun was hesitant and opened his mouth. As Kun, he had the courage to think he would go mad with fear. Kun's words are not finished.

Phew!

The red magic protrudes like a whip and breaks Kun's head.

“Stand up.”

She doesn't look at Kun's crumbling body and spits out. Kun, who regenerates his smashed head, stumbles and wakes up.

It's not just Xeniella who receives full moon magic. Xeniella sighs loudly as she looks up at Kun.

“I've been thinking about killing you. ”

Xeniella mutters and twitches her chin with the back of her hand.

“But, yeah. It's not worth killing for. Chen, Kun. I really care about you guys. I still remember when I first made you blood. Not just for this, no, not just for this. After all, the hundred years I've spent with you have been too heavy to kill you with anger. ”

“Th-thank you……. ”

“I'm still angry. ”

Xeniella sighs and laughs. Chen and Kun's body trembles.

They were Jennifer's third and fourth bloodline, and they were completely obedient to her.

That's why I had to tremble in the current situation. She ordered Chen and Kun to protect Eine.

Chen and Kun failed to carry out the order.

“I'm angry. I can't help it. Just as you failed to do my bidding. I can't help it if I'm angry. Because I trusted you guys so much, so much more. ”

Chen and Kun do not answer. Xeniella looks at the two silent mouths, panting and kicking her tongue. Jennifer's eyes are on Gemini.

“Jamie.”

“Yes, Quinn. ”

“You couldn't help yourself? ”

“I don't lie to Quinn. ”

“But you're joking. ”

“I'm just kidding. I had no choice. Quinn doesn't trust me? ”

“Trust me, Jamie. My dear brother. I know you want to kill me in secret, but I love you. Because I know you want to kill me and you love me. ”

Xeniella smiles in relief. Gemini's jaw twitches and goes up.

“No wonder you hate me. I put my fangs in them first without asking for your consent, and I forced them into my bloodline. ”

“I know that because Quinn loves me. ”

“Yes, I did it because I love you. I wanted to own you completely as a vampire. Because you love me, you don't want to kill me yourself. ”

Jennifer smiles and asks, but Gemini doesn't answer. Gemini stares at Janiella with smiling, crooked eyes.

“That's why it's a pity. I love you, so I can understand the joke you're making. You sent the shimmering white sogo to the nobleman. Talking about me to the nobleman. ”

“What I'm talking about is not a threat to Queen. ”

“That's right."

She didn't deny it.

“Handing over the Saxony doesn't threaten me. Even if the nobleman found out about my opium, that doesn't change anything. There's nothing you can do about it. But, Jamie, this time it's different. Aine should never have been taken from me. ”

“... I told you I had no choice. I wasn't gonna hand it over. I didn't think the earring would come out like that. ”

“Yes, I do. Because I love you. ”

Tuck.

Xeniella comes down from the rock. She glances at the body of a scattered blade.

“That's a shame. I wanted to give you something good. ”

“Should I keep it?”

“No.”

Xeniella reaches out to the corpse of the blade. The body of the sword shrieks and withers like a mummy.

A red fog flows from the pores of the blade line. Xeniella swallows a red mist gathered in her hand.

“You said negotiate, right? ”

Jennifer, who drank all the blood from the blade, asked as she glanced at Gemini.

“Yes, that's what I said. ”

“Apparently they didn't intend to kill Eine. ”

“What are you going to do? Are you going to find him? Or do you want to throw it away? ”

“Too much work to throw away. Negotiating...... negotiating. ”

Xeniella laughs, rethinking the word.

“You must be in the Fairy Forest, right? ”

“Maybe he ran away. ”

“You can't give up Fairy Forest if you want to fight me on a platter. ”

“Maybe you really want to negotiate. ”

“Maybe so, but I refuse. ”

I was very angry.

Gemini was feeling it. She smiles and speaks, but her insides are not smiling at all.

Jamie clenches his tongue, thinking of Lee Sung-min. But I expected a little, and I told him a lot and took care of him. I didn't think you'd mess with Jennifer's disgust like this.

“I think you've taken care of too much. ”

She turns away, saying that. She starts walking down the mountain without a word.

Gemini follows after Janiella, and Chen and Kun hesitate. The feeble Prescan awoke as well.

“Let's go meet the Master. ”

Genniella said.

“And we must trample down the fairy forest. ”

* * *

[If you can get the help of the Fairy Queen, you should use it. The Vampire Queen is the monster you are now.]

It was well known to Lee Sung-min. I bought time by kidnapping Eine, but the problem lies in having the power to confront her within that time.

When I think simple.

Chow Wang, Nero the Black Dragon Cow, Chen the White Sogo, Kung Ya Na.

Lloyd and Scarlet handle the rest of Rich and the Black Wizards. An undead can respond with the sacred power of Teresa.

If that's the case, Lee Sung-min will have to face Geniella alone.

Victory has been sparse. Even with Osla's support, I am not confident that I can defeat Xeniella under the full moon.

Moreover, there is a possibility that Jennifer will bring more power than we anticipated. I thought you said there was a guy named Brock, who's as strong as Nero.

[I'm worried. Why, are you regretting it now?]

‘A little.’

Lee Sung-min said with a bitter smile. Just as Ji Ho-yeon is not an iron, Seong-min is not an iron.

No matter how much I wrap it up, I'm just a human struggling to avoid an absolute fate.

I didn't have the power to stand up and control the world like a quadriplegic or a drunkard.

Almost nothing has been accomplished on its own. I received most of it from someone. I don't think it lacks effort, but it may be extraordinary.

‘Why me. ’

Lee looked up at the sky.

‘Anyone was fine...' he said. I ended up here by accident. No, not by chance. I'm here because I was hit by some condition, and I'm unlucky...... This is what I look like. It's too big for me to handle. ’

[Puritan?]

Heju giggles and laughs. Seong-min nodded his head.

‘There are times when you want to. There's no one else... but you to complain to. ’

It was true. There was too much on Lee's shoulders.

What I said to the desperate Saxogo.

What I said to Ji Ho-yeon who was confined in the room.

Words like, trust me.

On the subject of saying that, Lee Sung-min couldn't believe himself. I had no confidence that I would be able to do it, no matter what.

[You've done well.]

Heju said.

[I've been so good to a guy like you. Even with the blessings of fate, your loss and pain were real. What you've done has meant something. The same was true of your relationships. That's why you're here.]

I remember the first time we met. Heju grins.

[You were emotionally incomplete then. I was a little preoccupied.]

‘It was just when I came out of the spirit world. ’

[His body was abnormal. It was like a bomb that didn't know when it would explode. Especially when it's emotionally incomplete. But you've survived quite rationally... without collapsing. The encounter and the incident that you went through has put you out of your mind.]

‘Not necessarily. ’

[The breakup was inevitable. I won't tell you not to be sad, but you can't be sad forever. What this old man is trying to say is that you are who you are because you were. You're not nothing.]

Afraid of failure? Heju asked.

‘Of course I'm afraid. If I fail... ’

[It must be the end. There is a variable called Wjihoyeon, but I don't know... And for you, failure is death. The world may not end if you die, but at least your world ends. Are you afraid of that?]

‘Fear.’

[Will you run away then?]

Where am I supposed to run to? ’

[I don't know. At least now you can stop your nonsense about stopping the apocalypse and run. Even if you don't know when the world is going to end, it's not going to end right now. Why don't you enjoy the fun first? Running away, crawling into some fancy city, having all kinds of fun. I drink, I hug women, I have a lot of money, so I drive things I haven't done all at once.]

‘I can't do that. ’

[Of course. You have to stop the apocalypse. I can't run away because I'm responsible for the dead before you are. You're that guy. Sometimes it's selfish, but sometimes it's selfish. You're a pretty good guy.]

At that, Lee Sung-min smiled.

[If it fails, there's nothing you can do. I don't know where I'm going after I die, but I'm not going anywhere bad. I don't even know if there was a future in the first place.]

‘I don't want to die. ’

What do you want me to do? You don't want to run away.Then you'll have to struggle to stay alive. Don't worry too much. This old man will be with you when you die.]

We're not gonna die together. Heju grinned and laughed.

“What do you think? ”

Baek Sogo spoke to me. Lee Sung-min lifted his head and looked at the white sogo. Baek Sogo asked, looking at Lee Sung-min with a slightly worried face.

“Are you not feeling well? ”

“No… that's okay. ”

“Aren't you a little nervous? ”

Scarlet looks up as he sits nearby and checks his gloves with a serious look.

“Or are you worried? You think what's happening here is a threat to the Little Horseman in another room? ”

“That's not it. ”

“We should. I've checked a few times already. No matter how much I searched and searched for the spatial coordinates here, I couldn't find any other connection to it. Maybe it's true that you met the Little Horse here in the first place. ”

“There's no reason to lie. ”

“That's right. Whatever happens here, it's not going to go to the Sophoenix. Me and Lloyd have done some checking on that. ”

Scarlet speaks in a confident tone. More than that, Scarlet looks up at the sky, his eyes frowning.

“When does the Queen of Spirits appear? ”

They were in the sleeping forest.
