[217] Sima Lianju (2)
After Sima Lianju disappeared, Osla, who was still left, approached Lee Seong-min.
Seongmin Lee was startled by the presence of Osla who suddenly approached him and took a few steps back.
The fairy queen, who had the appearance of a fifteen-year-old girl at most, stood at the same eye level as Lee Seong-min, with her colorful butterfly wings spread wide behind her.
“… … “Hmm.”
Osla’s eyes narrowed. She stared at Lee Seong-min with sparkling eyes.
Lee Seong-min was nervous without realizing it and swallowed dry saliva as his eyes seemed to see through everything.
Osla looked at Lee Seong-min with a strange smile for a while and then opened his mouth.
“I’d like to ask you a small favor. “Is it okay?”
“What are you asking?”
“I want to touch you.”
Lee Seong-min’s eyes widened at the unexpected request. Of course, Seongmin Lee did not misunderstand Osla’s words. Only, he hesitated and asked why.
“I’m curious.”
Osla answered in a refreshing voice.
“You are quite an interesting person. The series was interesting, but what can I say… … She is very different from Ryeonju. Even though various things were mixed together, it harmonized quite well and it didn’t die. Actually, it’s not common for humans to use dragon pressure, right? “I have lived for a very long time, but other than dragons and half-humans, I have never seen a human using dragon pressure.”
Osla came a little closer.
“And besides that, you have something… … “I feel uncomfortable.”
“… … Something that bothers you?”
Osla’s words reminded Seongmin Lee of the ‘Apostle of the End’ that various beings had mentioned so far. Seongmin Lee regained his composure and asked Osla a question.
“I also have a question.”
“What?”
“you… … So, the fairy queen. “Are you the same as God?”
“Your words are a little strange. You?”
“… … “I once met the Queen of Spirits.”
Osla’s expression hardened at Lee Seong-min’s answer. She opened her narrowed eyes and looked directly at Seongmin Lee.
“… … The spirit queen? “You really went to the spirit world?”
“no.”
“But how did you meet the Queen of Spirits? She doesn’t exist in this world. “She shouldn’t exist.”
Osla declared it. However, this does not mean that it is not true that Lee Seong-min met the Queen of Spirits. Seongmin Lee shook his head and denied Osla’s words.
“I have definitely met the Queen of Spirits in this world.”
“… … Nonsense.”
Osla muttered with an expression of disbelief.
“She appeared in this world? Oh my god, that’s a breach of contract… … !”
“contract?”
“It’s a story you don’t need to know. That woman, what on earth is she thinking… … ?!”
Osla frowns and grumbles. Then Osla made an “ah” sound and looked at Lee Seong-min.
“god… … and we are a little different. I wouldn’t say it’s very different though. Should we say that the fields are different, or what we pursue are different? … It’s not about right or wrong, but God and we pursue different things. It’s a story that people like you don’t need to understand. anyway.”
Osla slowly raised his hand and spread it wide in front of Lee Seong-min’s face.
“I want to touch you. “You’ll be okay, right?”
“It doesn’t matter. Unless something goes wrong with me.”
“If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t have to ask permission like this. “I have no intention of harming you, so I’m asking for your permission.”
Osla grumbled and stretched out his open hand to grab Lee Seong-min’s shoulder. Nothing happened and I didn’t feel anything. Osla’s eyes narrowed again.
“… … It’s connected to a huge monster. Hundreds of years ago, a great youkai died in the south. I wondered if it was possible for a monster like that to die, but it did. “It was an unpleasant death in many ways, but it led to you.”
different.
Osla thought so inwardly. The ominousness she felt was not what she exuded to Heo Joo, who was psychically connected to her Lee Seong-min.
Deeper than this… … Osla closed her eyes. The wings she spread behind her back gave off a bluish glow.
More deeply.
Osla delved deep into Lee Seong-min.
Lee Seong-min’s unconsciousness, which he is not even aware of, accepts Osla.
Before he knew it, Lee Seong-min was slowly losing consciousness, and around Osla, fragments of light flowing from his wings floated like the light of a firefly.
“… … Sigh!”
Osla, who had been floating around in Lee Seong-min’s unconsciousness for a while, was thrown back by an unknown force pushing him.
The blurred consciousness returns. Seongmin Lee gasped and barely managed to support his body as he almost collapsed.
“What have you done?!”
Seongmin Lee shouted at Osla, who flew behind him. Lee Seong-min looked at Osla, who barely spread her wings and was rolling around on the ground, looking like she was possessed by something.
“… … Right.”
Osla looked at Lee Seong-min for a moment and nodded his head.
“It’s been so long. so… … I had forgotten it without realizing it. Or maybe I just didn’t want to think about it… … .”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You are a pitiful being.”
Osla sighed and muttered.
“It’s just a pity that I can’t tell you much. but… … Still, I think it would be okay to tell you this much.”
“Damn it.”
Lee Seong-min cursed and kicked the floor. I am now familiar with these random Zen questions and answers.
“Be faithful.”
“what do you mean?”
“Every day. Try to live each day to the fullest. later… … “So that you don’t regret it.”

Osla looked at Lee Seong-min with a bitter expression. Until now, as Seongmin Lee has met people who have seen through his existence, he has repeatedly heard words that he cannot understand.
But Osla was the first to make such an expression.
Seongmin Lee kept his mouth shut for a moment and glared at Osla. He knew instinctively.
Fairy queen. She knows something that the beings that Lee Seong-min has met so far do not know.
“… … “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“I guess so.”
Osla nodded her head slowly.
“I know you’re confused. “But I can’t answer you anything.”
“Because of the Apostle of the End?”
Seongmin Lee spit out.
“Because someone you don’t know what is threatening you? I have heard this many times before. None of the people who told me this said it right. Whenever I forget, he always comes out and says this to me, confusing me. “It’s as if you’re playing with each other!”
“… … “I can’t help it.”
Seongmin Lee reacted violently, but Osla did not question his rudeness.
I just kept repeating that there was nothing I could do.
“This is a promise from a long time ago. A promise that has existed since the existence of this world. So do I, and so do the gods… … “We cannot escape this promise.”
The air started to get cold. Seongmin Lee felt an unknown coolness behind his neck.
He looked back in surprise, but there was no one there.
“Answer me if you can…” … “What is the end?”
“end.”
“Who is the Apostle of the End?”
“He who fulfills the end.”
“So, what am I?”
Seongmin Lee glared at Osla and spat out. Osla was silent at those words.
It seemed that this question could not be answered.
Heoju was silent. Osla also said nothing.
In the silence that followed, Lee Seong-min thought about what he had experienced, done, met, and heard so far. He remembered all those things.
Mr. Mshi had said. There are no coincidences in this world. That we have to prepare for someday.
Kim Jong-hyun spoke about the apostle of the end.
Ambassador Bulyeong said that he was in awe of Lee Seong-min, who had incredible strength and beauty.
Frau and Envirus talked about the power of fate centered on Lee Seong-min.
There are no coincidences. This means that everything is fate. Where is your destiny headed? The end is the end. The apostle of the end is one who carries out the end.
Then what about me?
“… … “Am I the apostle of the apocalypse?”
As he spit it out, Lee Seong-min thought to himself that it was nonsense.
It had to be that way. Lee Seong-min in his previous life was not a great person. A common mercenary, especially the most ambiguous C-class.
He mastered third-rate martial arts and barely rose to the second-rate level, but was greedy and died trying to break through the dungeon alone.
Just before his death, he accidentally obtained something called a ‘Past Life Stone’ and returned to the time when he was 14 years old when he was first summoned to Zenabis.
That’s it.
Osla, who had hoped for a snort and denial, made no reply. Lee Seong-min laughed at her silence without even realizing it.
“I… … What should I make of your silence?”
“I can’t say anything. Your question goes directly into a long-standing promise, and since I am a being bound by promises, I cannot give any answer to it. It’s not just me. “There is no one in this world who can answer your question.”
After a long silence, Osla opened her mouth. Lee Seong-min laughed again at those words.
“But, not yet…” … Not yet. “Nothing is set in stone.”
The coolness that touches the back of my neck turns into sharpness. Osla flinched, her body trembled, and her wings drooped.
“you… … it’s you. “That is definitely true.”
Osla said that and mussed her hair with both hands.
She also seemed confused. Osla sighed after messing up her neatly braided hair.
“Ah really!”
“What is it?”
“I’m frustrated just like you are! I also want to tell you everything I know! “But I can’t tell you!”
“Why are you so annoyed with me?”
“You’re annoying me!”
After yelling like that, Osla took a deep breath and pressed her hand against her hair.
“I do not know. There’s nothing more I can say to you. but.”
Osla left room at the end for the topic where he said he had nothing to say.
“… … I am friendly towards you. Just know that.”
Osla glanced at Lee Seong-min and said that.
Seongmin Lee opened his mouth to say something more, but Osla closed his eyes tightly and covered his ears.
“I can not hear you!”
After shouting like that, Osla turned into light and disappeared.
Lee Seong-min laughed and placed his hand on his forehead.
Confusing. Every time I met someone and heard about the Apocalypse and the true nature of such things, I felt more and more confused.
Nothing has been clearly resolved. Talking around things only piles up doubts and anxiety.
[…] … hmm.]
Heoju, who had been silent all along, opened his mouth.
[I’m not interested in stories like that, like the Apostle of the End or anything like that… … .]
Huh. In Seongmin Lee’s mind, Heoju cleared his throat.
[The end has not come right away. I don’t think you need to worry about that now.]
‘It’s easy.’
[Isn’t the immediate task more important than worrying about something you don’t know what it is?]
Heoju said in a sad voice.
[You became an enemy of Tian Yue Tian and a disciple of Sima Lianju. Rather than thinking about the distant future, it would be better to focus on the present. If you become an enemy of Cheon Oecheon and continue to fight with them, you will most likely die.]
Seongmin Lee did not protest and kept his mouth shut.
[The reason you have been able to survive until now is because of those 2,100 years of training. That experience is what made you survive until now. But it won’t be in the future.]
‘that’s right.’
Seongmin Lee sighed and nodded his head.
[You have no more room to grow.]
Heo Ju sentenced him in a calm voice.
[Because you have now reached the level you reached in the spiritual world. You do not know the state after that. There is no room to become stronger from now on.]
‘… … yes.’
This is a truth that makes me feel sick. Now, Seongmin Lee has completely reached the level he reached during Denir’s ordeal.
In other words, we cannot grow towards the strength in ‘experience’ as we have done so far.
Lee Seong-min lacks talent. A genius like Wijihoyeon had plenty of room to continue growing, but not Lee Sungmin.
It took 2,100 years to reach this state. I have no idea how much time and effort it will take to reach a higher level than this.
[It went rather well. Didn’t you become a disciple of Sima Lianju when you had grown to your limit? He has reached a level far ahead of you, so he will be able to lead you slowly.]
‘Maybe so.’
[and.]
Heoju cleared his throat and said, “Uhm.”
[Let’s ask frankly.]
Heo Joo’s voice lowered.
[You are Socheonma. What on earth do you want to do with that girl?]
