Possessing Nothing

It's too late for despair now. I know that despair can't change anything.

Just as Wei Ji Ho-yeon was carrying a lot, Lee Hyung was carrying a lot of things.

He remembers what process he took to get here. It was a previous life that began with condolences for Ji Ho-yeon. All the growth of Lee Sung-min was to deceive the eyes of the Spirit.

‘I know.'

If everything had gone as planned,

Lee Sung-min was destined to die by Wei Ji-ho-yeon. Even though the spirit did not speak directly, Lee Sung-min noticed and understood it.

The spirit does not know the existence of the key. It is the same for the massacre that was sleeping in Lee Sung-min's consciousness.

Previous stones have become the key and are attributed to Lee Sung-min. And one day, Lee Sung-min had to wake up to a massacre, and Wijiho-yeon....

It's the adversary of the apocalypse, and if Lee Sung-min is fully evolved into a carnage, he will have no choice but to kill Lee Sung-min, who eventually became a carnage.

Then the key is given to Wei Ji Ho-yeon. Although it was risky, I had no choice but to attribute the key to Lee Sung-hyun as a magician who wanted to hide him as much as possible.

As long as he's bound to his soul, there's no way to take it away from a former student, even if he's awakened to genocide.

Using such a cumbersome method itself proved that spirits and spirits have no authority over managers.

‘I was destined to die for you. ’

Fate has changed.

It was also because of Wijihoyeon. Ji Ho-yeon did not accept that he would become a massacre, and through witchcraft he let Lee take Mystery.

As a result, he was able to eradicate the genocide and escape his fate.

‘Cause of you. ’

That's why you can't be more desperate.

Wijiho-yeon who saved me.

Wijiho-yeon let me come here.

Wijiho-yeon who did it for me.

Because he's like that.

"You mean you want to save the world? ’

I remembered a conversation with Abel.

‘The tetrarch died for it, not to take responsibility for it? ’

Or are you responsible for being an observer and bringing the end to this world? ’

A presumptuous question.

‘Is that the wrong reason? ’

That's how Sung-min reacted. Abel answered the question with a dry smile.

‘If that's what makes you so desperate, it doesn't matter. I don't care why you're so desperate to give up your life in the end. ’

‘I'm desperate. ’

Abel lost his life by abusing Gries. Eventually……. Gries was a spiritual eulogy, and it was absolutely impossible for Abel to use Gries' magic to stop the end.

It was not because of Envirus that Abel tried to change his fate by connecting this world with another.

However, Lee Sung-min does not think Abel's death is meaningless. After all, he managed to banish the Demon King Kim Jong-hyun, who was one of the catastrophes of the end, to another dimension.

You must be desperate, too.

Abel's last question did not reach Lee Sung-min. However, Lee Sung-min could tell Abel who was not here even though he did not know it.

I'm desperate.

We do not deny that we are responsible. There is a lot of responsibility on my shoulders. Lee Sung-min is here after many deaths.

Guangcheon Horse, Samaritan, Abel, Swordsmith, Chang Wang, etc. Even if I didn't die, I was holding on to the shoulders the longing of all those who wanted to stop the end. It lifts my back. Move forward before you drift.

You were desperate, too. I looked at Wiji Hoenn and thought, As I wished, you were as eager as anyone. I know you. I know you too well.

I cannot give in to despair.

I was in a lot of despair. I saw the despair of others. When the Baek Sogo was desperate to know the end, Lee Sung-min hugged Baek Sogo and said.

‘The man I saved, I will stop the apocalypse. ’

‘I will not let Sage's life be meaningless. ’

‘We will make the world as good and peaceful as Sager said it would be. ’

‘Do not despair. Like I'm not desperate. ’

I think of Xeniella laughing loudly under the full moon. The question of despair, Lee Sung-min did not answer to the end.

‘Live every day...... so you won't regret it... later.' ’

Osla said that.

‘If you're back, you'll have to be ready. To be the right one for the reason I came back. ’

Mesh said the same thing.

"Do not despair. Don't ruin it. Don't die. ’

Hesitant words supported Lee Sung-min's heart.

"Do whatever you want. Do whatever you want, and don't regret it. ’

What the tetrarch said reminds me.

Yeah, it is.

They made me who I am, and they're making me who I am.

I didn't have any rats. I had no talent, no background, nothing. Originally, the personality of 'I’ was a disgraced and unmotivated Class C mercenary.

Rather than not wanting to go to school, studying and homework, he liked to play games in a PC room.

That's why I'm here now. It is I, not I, who am a Class C mercenary, who is facing the end of the world.

Everything to come all the way here made me. I, who am without rats, am what I am now.

“And there you are. ”

I know you. I know you that no one else knows. I know you who held me in my arms and blushed a little.

I know you who made mean jokes but was actually ashamed to look away. I know you who loved flowers and loved butterflies.

I know you who pretended to be lonely. I know you who wanted to go back to a normal, peaceful life rather than be unmanned.

I've always been after your back.

I wanted to. May you always be stronger than me. May I always stand behind you and chase after you.

I thought it was too greedy to be in a position like you or go further than you.

Yeah, I've had that in mind since I broke up with you in Genevis when I was 14.

I was just afraid. When I was stronger than you. I was worried that you would treat me the way you used to.

I know it was a funny idea. Because that's not who you are. I was the one who was biased.

‘But I didn't want to. ’

Even if I knew, I simply hated it. I liked you stronger than me. It's just, I liked chasing after you.

But you can't do that now. Lee Sung-min raised his spear with a bold heart. My mind was still.

I, who had no rats, met many people and received many things and became who I am today. Then I'm not desperate. Do not despair.

Ji Ho-yeon raised her arms. A blooming flower fills the space and a butterfly flies through it.

Ji Ho-yeon had a strange feeling while staring at Lee Sung-min. A fragment of a memory floats in the broken mind. Distant memories.

Far, far memories. To unite the memories, we had to go back to the cowardly murders that were committed here, and it disgusted W. Hoenn.

I don't want to think about it. That's what I thought. Your body smells of blood.

Wijiho-yeon hated the ‘now’ self. So, I killed all my feelings without thinking anything.

He was the one who caused the emotional confusion. You say things you don't even understand. I didn't want to see it.

I want to kill him...

Do you really want to do that? My head is confused. I ignore my thoughts. I liked having the mind of the machine in many ways. What if…… The machine won't regret it.

Flowers and butterflies. Wyjiho-yeon's favorite scenery. Lee Sung-min approached towards the landscape. Defendants, Defendants, and Bloomed Flowers concealed Ji Ho-yeon's body.

Towards it, Lee Sung-min raised a window. Can you do that? The idea that Lee Sung-min always thought that at the crucial moment. In most cases he was not confident. Because...

“I didn't have any rats. ”

And I always answered. I have to. It's the same now. Lee Sung-min laughed.

It seemed like time had stopped. Everything seems to have stopped. In fact, it was so fast that time did not pursue his movements.

Lee Seong-min jumped into the flowers and butterflies. Ran's spear sweeps through the butterfly, and my spear sweeps through the petals. The chaff pierces forward, opening the road.

“...... Don't come. ”

He muttered so unknowingly. She continued to wave her hands in front of Lee.

Lee did not stop. His large feet continue to narrow the distance, and his spear contains all the hordes he knows.

Even if it was from someone else, not mine. That was me in the end.

“Don't come... ”

Wijihoyen's eyes trembled. The anxious psychic and emotional lines were shaking.

The spiritual punch given to such a spirit weakened with a jerk.

Aaaahhh!

While destroying W. Hoenn's shaman, Lee Sung-min shouted. Yong and the strong-willed agitator shook W. Ho-yeon's mind. Smells like blood.

Ji Ho-yeon swallowed her breath and pulled her foot back. Lee Sung-min approached Ji Ho-yeon that much.

‘I am.’

I was always afraid to stand with you, chasing after you.

‘Now I am. ’

I'm not your target.

I don't want to be the only target.

Friends? Goals? Admiration? That's... that's all?

No, it's not. He shouted again what he had answered.

‘Now I'm stronger than you. ’

The blocking force disappeared and Lee Sung-min continued to reach out. He was just in front of W. Hoenn.

Ji Ho-yeon chewed his lips well. She brings her hands together in front of her chest. It was faster for Lee Seong-min to stab the spear.

The waves of immense power pushed W. Hoyen's body behind him greatly. She breathes, swallows, and raises a momentum.

It was too late to avoid and had to endure. I unleashed an attack. Light swells from Lee's spear. Ji Ho-yeon sharpened her teeth.

“No... ”

She mutters in a small voice.

“I, I, I can't fail. If I fail... I will... ”

“It's okay.”

I cut off Ji Ho-yeon's words.

“If it fails... it's okay. ”

Now she doesn't realize she's already failed. Ji Ho-yeon's face became blank.

“…… Ah. ”

Wijihoyen's eyes trembled. The world she created is gone. Flowers, butterflies. All of W. Hoenn's power was scattered in the light of the opening wall that contained the polarity.

At that moment, Wijihoyen thought of someone in the midst of a pale head. I've always wanted to... keep chasing after myself.

“…… I see……. ”

He closed his eyes, muttering in a small voice. The landscape of a self-made corpse is gone.

Through that dreadful hell engraved deep in his heart, Ji Ho-yeon remembered the landscape he really liked and wanted to go back to.

Sunset skies, flowers and butterflies. Sitting there waiting for him to return.

“Someday... you were right in front of him. ”

Ji Ho-yeon smiled faintly. Ji Ho-yeon's hand fell down helplessly.

Lee Sung-min's spear stopped in front of Ji Ho-yeon's heart. Lee lowered his spear, exhaling.

No, I took the spear out of my hand. He reaches out his hands and touches Wiji Hoyen's cheek. Washing her bloodied cheeks,

“Thank you.”

That's what Lee said.

“For my sake, like this... ”

Wijihoyen's eyes trembled.

“For my sake, you're ruining it. ”

“…… I…… failed. ”

“It's okay to fail. I promised you, even if you fail, I will. Nothing's wrong. ”

In response, Ji Ho-yeon shrugged. She closed her eyes eventually. Tears in the tail of my eyes poured down my cheeks.

“... Yes. ”

Ji Ho-yeon accepted the failure. To have this destiny, to be who you are.

I accepted that I had been crushed or failed in my repeated actions because of responsibilities with an unwanted mission.

“…… Thank you……. ”

Listening to the small murmur, Lee Sung-min hugged Wei Ho-yeon.

In her arms, she was not iron.

It was nothing special but a human being.
