Possessing Nothing

Gemini doesn't lift her head. My head is spinning.

‘I'm alive. I'm... alive...?' ’

I think about what Lee said a while ago.

Gather the other vampires and do nothing. He said he didn't need to be stuck in the north. Just, I told you to do it right.

That was enough. Gemini was satisfied just by getting away from Travia, who had lived most of her life, out of Jennifer's shadow.

Jamie looks up slowly. Lee Sung-min was still looking down at Jamie.

Gemini shrugged her shoulders in surprise and saw the soul of Geniella in the hands of Lee Sung-min.

There was no more love. Gemini struggled to die for her, but she didn't hesitate.

She tries to kill him for herself. It didn't matter what kind of emotion she was in.

What Gemini thought was important was that she eventually betrayed herself. When the eyes meet, Gemini peers into Jennifer's feelings.

Taking the life of his brother who said he loved him, Jennifer did not see any conflict.

I felt sorry for him, but I felt no guilt. I don't even know what sadness I had seen at the time.

‘It was you who betrayed me. Sister.’

Gemini lowers her head again, thinking like that. She doesn't think about her anymore.

Lee Seong-min turned away from Jamie like that. The reason you didn't kill Gemini was not obvious.

It's because I've had a few help so far, and Jamie was quick on the topic. I thought I didn't have to kill you because I bowed my head calling for an oath first.

And to make such a decision, it was because of the hemorrhagic memory in his head. This was the last mercy that Lee Sung-min could grant.

Next, he approaches Prescan. He falls to his knees and does not move until the long night is over. Lee stopped walking in front of Prescan.

“Is he dead?”

Prescan didn't answer the question he was asking. He did not misunderstand or mourn any more.

Lee Sung-min scratched his chin feeling bitter. Unfortunately, he didn't have Eine's memory.

What he ate was Eine's heart, not his own. Eine's memory did not succeed because she sold Eine's soul to Erebrisa before devouring her heart.

So, Lee didn't know what the bond was between Eine and Preskan.

I felt sorry for Gemini for the memory of the hematoma. If Eine's memory existed, he may have shown compassion to Prescan.

“I didn't kill him painfully. ”

“S-slap it...! ”

Prescan raised his head because of Lee Sung-min's muttering. The spirit is shaking.

Despite his lack of flesh, Prescan did not shed a tear, but his spirit was engulfed in sorrow and hatred.

“Everything would have been better without you. If it wasn't for you...! ”

“They all are. ”

Lee Sung-min nodded, listening to Prescan's curse.

“So did I. ”

“I curse you. My daughter…… I wanted to do a little more with her, with better things, more beautiful things……. ”

Before that's over.

A spear pierces Prescan's chest. Prescan's spirit flutters.

Lee Seong-min muttered as he looked at Preskan beating the spirit.

“Aine was a monster. ”

“Phew……. ”

“You didn't control Aine. No matter how much she ate, she just let it go. ”

“Th-this child wanted to do... that...! ”

Prescan shouts. Lee Sung-min pulled out the intangible spear. Preskan's spirit falls to the ground. He mutters intermittently, shivering spirits.

“Oh my……. ”

It was a voice full of love for my daughter.

“I... curse you... I should have killed you... then... ”

“Everyone says so. ”

Lee Sung-min murmured bitterly. The soul of Prescan is scattered. I tried to grab Prescan's soul, just like I did with Xeniella.

But even the dragon's magic could not hold Prescan's soul. The soul of Rich Preskan belongs to the Dread Demon King he contracted in the first place.

No matter how powerful the dragon's magic was, it wasn't enough to break the Demon King's contract and restrain Prescan's soul.

‘I can't show you any sympathy. ’

With Prescan's soul in his hands, he's willing to trade it with Erebrissa and sell it to Eine's soul.

If we were lucky, such a meeting would have been possible.

I can't help it. Lee Seong-min turns away after watching Prescan's soul disappear.

The barrier in the forest was still firmly established. Lee Seong-min felt the wit gathered near the conclusion.

I stopped those in the forest on purpose. I didn't want to make it dangerous... and I didn't want to be disturbed.

I don't know what to say.

It's over. Should I say that? Of course, it wasn't all over. The fight with Xeniella is over, but it is not over.

A little faster.

Then there wouldn't have been an injury that couldn't be erased by everyone.

No matter how powerful dragon magic is, no matter how powerful the elixir is, no matter how powerful Teresa's healing magic is.

You can't regenerate a torn eye and a severed limb. Thinking about it made my heart heavier.

Yeah, if only it was a little faster. If only they'd been stronger than Jennifer before they got hurt.

I wish I had broken up with Heju sooner.

In front of the finality, Lee Sung-min gave me a heart. The waves of emotion surge. Lee Seong-min bit her teeth.

It's okay. He muttered to himself. You promised Heju.

I'm not going to despair. I'm not going to despair. I'm going to live happily ever after.

After enjoying everything you can enjoy, I promised to meet you again in a far-off world.

So don't despair. Lee Sung-min broke the barrier and went into it.

Everyone was there.

Osla, whose wings have been torn, sits curled up with unharmed wings.

There was no wound, but her expression remained dark. Lee Sung-min clenched his fist, looking at Osla's face.

Losing his right arm, the Saxony grips the bloody sleeve with his hand, making an anxious, nervous face.

Lee Seong-min chewed his lower lip, looking at the sleeves of the white sogo scattered by the wind.

The scarlet's left eye is tightly closed. I've done some first aid, but I can see hard blood sticking to my eyelids.

Seeing Lee Sung-min coming in, Scarlet jumps to his feet. Lee felt his steps become heavy.

The Black Dragon Cove was touching Teresa's shoulder, pale expression with one remaining right arm.

Teresa's face curled up in tears, her knees tucked in. The Black Dragon Cow's eyes, filled with bitter emotions, met Lee Sung-min's eyes.

Lee Sung-min felt a great pain deep in his heart.

Lloyd, who lost his right leg, stumbles up with a cane as his crutch. Near him, Gries is left bloodied unharmed.

It looked like wrinkles were on Lloyd's face with a reflective face. Lee Sung-min felt his lips flutter.

And...

The body of the Chang King was among them. There was no blood, but the corpse was miserable. Most of his torso was gone.

I barely had enough left of my right arm, shoulders, neck and head. Nevertheless, the spear's right hand is clenched tightly.

Lee Sung-min saw the face of the Wang who was smiling satisfactorily. Eventually, Lee stopped walking there.

Chang Wang left on the same path as where he and Heju went. I know. The Chang Wang died here, but his soul returned to the world he had hoped for.

But that doesn't mean you don't feel sad. As in the death of a savage, and the disappearance of a drunkard. Even if it's not death, it's goodbye after all. It's a breakup.

Those who are left... will only feel sorrow.

I wanted to hear the voices of falsehood. Well done, though. I was so big...... I wanted to hear such compliments.

I missed all the nonsense. Lee stood there and bowed his head, unable to walk any more.

I tried to endure it, but my tears filled my eyes. The back of my feet and the ground that I was looking at were prowling in tears.

I told you not to despair, but you didn't tell me not to grieve. I wish I had told you that. I thought you weren't supposed to be sad.

Eventually, my tears fell.

Not bad... I hated myself for thinking it was work.

Chang Wang died, but in the end he was satisfied with his own death.

Everyone's wounds are indelible, but not dead.

I broke up with Heju, but I gained that much power.

Not bad... Not bad. If you think about it in the future. I hate myself for thinking that.

The Chang Wang died, broke up with Heju, and everyone was hurt. I hated myself for thinking I was a little lucky that I ended up this far away.

“Priest.”

The white sogo came to Lee Sung-min who was standing there crying. Several injuries were sustained in addition to the severed left arm, but elixir and Theresa's healing magic healed those injuries.

I'm just deeply exhausted. The pace was not easy, but the Saxogo rushed his body.

Scarlet follows you with the Baxogo. Others moved in together. The limping Loid is reinforced by the Black Dragon Cow. Teresa sneezed and approached Lee Sung-min.

Oswald moves his wings toward Lee Sung-min.

“Well... done. ”

The first person to arrive grabbed Lee Sung-min by the shoulders. I wanted to hold her tightly with my arms, but I felt sad that I only had one arm left.

“Well done...... so... well done... ”

Why are you crying?

Baek Sogo did not know the reason. She was not a rational person. I don't know how he feels or how he's been separated.

Baek Sogo couldn't fully empathize with Lee Sung-min's feelings. Instead, she genuinely embraced him and said so.

“Why are you crying? ”

Scarlet reaches out. She places her hand on the opposite shoulder that the Saxogo can't hold.

“You did good. We won. Then... we're done. There's no reason for you to cry. ”

Scarlet frowns as his left unseen eye is uncomfortable.

“I left satisfied. ”

The Black Dragon Cove mutters. He glances at the dead king, then looks back at Lee Sung-min.

“…… stupid old man. Show me why you're satisfied and go. You don't have to be sad. Satisfied, dead, and long enough. ”

Lee Sung-min covers his face with both hands.

“Thank you, thank you... ”

Teresa ducks and blushes.

“Thanks to you, Lee Sung-min. Without Lee Sung-min...... we'd all be... ”

Teresa didn't get to the end of it. Not everyone survived. I almost died. The Spear King is dead.

Nevertheless, I hated saying this.

“Honestly, I thought I was going to die. ”

Rubia looks helpless, her magic exhausted. Lee Sung-min smiled bitterly at Rubia.

Before her head flew off, she aimed for Xeniella with a crack that Rubia made. I blew my head off because I failed.

“... I'm sorry. I... I didn't do anything... ”

Lloyd mutters in a guilt-ridden voice. He despised himself. Why Gries' magic is gone. If only I had expelled Jennifer from time and time by looking at the gap…….

“Don't cry. ”

Osla sniffs.

“If you cry... I won't be anything. After all you've done, if you cry after defeating Xeniella... I look too ugly. I really... I didn't do anything. I'm scared...... ”

“…… No, no. ”

Lee Sung-min barely spoke.

“I like it...... I'm crying. You did it. Y-yeah... because you defeated Xeniella. I like that...... ”

“Lies..."

Saxony muttered in a small voice in Lee Sung-min's ear. Lee Sung-min's shoulders slightly trembled.

“Why... are you crying?" Priest……. ”

Baek Sogo looked at Lee Sung-min's eyes and asked. It was a mess in his head. He could not define what he was feeling.

“…… Because I hate it. ”

Seong-min muttered so after a brief silence.

“I d-hate it. ”

I was weak.

I'm too late.

I sent you away from Heju.

I'm glad it's come to this.

I've become a monster.
