[284] From the North (1)
At a point when the distance from Travia was not far, the carriage could not go any further.
After stopping the carriage, Sima Lianju came out and saw the snowy plain.
Ye Hua glanced at Sima Lianju with a nervous face, and Scarlett inside the carriage let out a long sigh.
“Why do you bother working?”
Don’t come out. I heard that.
Seongmin Lee took off his mask and was holding a spear.
A few years ago, when I first came to the North. When I came with Rubia. Seongmin Lee had been to this plain before.
Before I even met Gwangcheonma. Before entering Travia.
In this wide plain on the road connected to Trabia. Lee Seong-min met Joo Won, the king of Lycan Slope, for the first time.
okay. This is the Lycan Slope, once called Gwangrang, and Joo Won’s territory.
Even the Black Dragon Association knew that. Of course, Lee Seong-min told everyone before entering this plain.
This is the territory of Joo Won, one of the Predator’s black stars. Seongmin Lee suggested that even though it might take a little longer, it would be better to avoid this place… … .
It was ignored.
At Sima Lianju’s words that there was no need to do so, the carriage passed through the plain.
And now, it stands still like this.
-Don’t come out.
Lee Seong-min recalled what Sima Lianju said. Most of what he said was pure interest, not absolute confidence or arrogance.
They invaded Cron, directly challenged the opening batting line, and devastated the Murim Alliance.
If you think about it, most of Sima Lianju’s actions were due to his ‘interest’.
Of course, interest may not be everything. As he said, it must have been to convey to his disciple Lee Seong-min his reverence as a teacher and to teach him the essence of Black Lightning.
However, when I heard the story of the end from Abel. If you think back to what Sima Lianju said. He had a strong tendency to focus on things that interested him.
That was the chronic mental illness that Sima Lianzhu developed while enduring Denir for a thousand years.
If it’s something you’re not interested in, you just ask for Lee Seong-min’s impulse and use him as an opportunity. When it comes to crucial matters, you put your own interests first.
When I think about this journey, it was like that. Sima Lianju simply ‘wanted to do that’.
He meets the Black Dragon Association and asks about Cheon Oecheon’s purpose. He meets Jennyella and asks her about the future she saw.
Doubts about the ‘end’ do not carry much weight for Sima Lianzhu.
What he said in reply to Abel was not a lie. You’re going to die anyway. An unstoppable end. If so, there is nothing you can do about it. Although it is unpleasant, it is understandable.
Yes, Sima Lianju said that. That statement is undoubtedly true.
At the same time, it is also true that he considers Osla important and his student Lee Seong-min also important to some extent. That’s why I followed Lee Seong-min’s opinion. For Lee Sung-min’s sake, because Lee Sung-min said he wanted to prevent the end. so… … .
It’s just not everything. I want to experience the open field batting lineup. I want to destroy the Murim Alliance. I want to meet the Vampire Queen, the pinnacle of Predator.
It was his own desire that drove Sima Lianju and brought him to this place. The reason he came into Juwon’s territory was because the Lord Sabaepp wanted him.
The reason he went outside the carriage alone without asking for help from the Black Dragon Association or Li Seong-min was because Sima Lianju wanted it.
“In that forest.”
The Black Dragon Association muttered. He held his left side, which had not yet healed, with his hand.
“I ended up fighting Joo Won, who suddenly attacked me. I fired my breath repeatedly, and since I had just fought the Spear King, my body and body were quite exhausted. But, even so… … “I was overwhelmed by Joo Won.”
Hearing those words, Lee Seong-min couldn’t help but feel prickled inside.
Joo Won’s long-cherished wish was to fight the dragon. Since all the dragons in this world had migrated to another dimension, the only person in this world who was most similar to the person who could fulfill Joo Won’s long-cherished wish was the half-human, half-dragon Black Dragon.
However, the Black Dragon Association and Joo Won ended up fighting in the forest. This is because Lee Seong-min sold the Black Dragon Alliance to Joo Won.
Thanks to this, the Black Dragon Association faced Joo Won in an exhausted state and suffered wounds that could not be healed.
“Joowon is strong.”
Black Dragon Hyeop lowered his hand that was groping his left side.
He looked at Lee Seong-min blankly. During the several months of his journey here, Seongmin Lee had been on the lookout for the Black Dragon Gorge, but he had not shown any significant action. He was still the same now.
“But your teacher is stronger.”
The Black Dragon Association declared so with a voice that left no room for doubt.
“I know.”
Even if the other person is Joo Won. I do not think that Sima Lianju will be defeated. but… … It just feels like his personal interests driven by private interests are in jeopardy. Even though most situations are not dangerous to him. Sima Lianju’s actions of throwing himself into danger while pursuing interests were self-destructive.
[Are you worried?]
‘any.’
Heo Joo chuckled at Lee Seong-min’s answer.
[Still, it looks like you’re worried because he’s your teacher, right?]
‘I’m human too, so of course I’m worried.’
[There is no need to worry. As hundreds of years passed, Zhou Yuan also became stronger, but that does not mean he was stronger than Sima Lianju.]
‘Still, there’s no need to fight when there’s no need to fight, right?’
[Then why don’t you stop me?]
‘Will you listen if I tell you to stop me?’
Heo Joo chuckled at Lee Seong-min’s question. and.
Creepy.
First, the carriage rattled loudly.
Seongmin Lee grabbed the spear without realizing it. Lee Seong-min wasn’t the only one who felt that.
Black Dragon, Scarlet, etc.
Scarlett closed the grimoire with a stiff face.
The Black Dragon Association looked out the window with a surprised expression. This feeling. Lee Seong-min had already felt this sensation of the hair on his entire body standing on end several times.
But it wasn’t Scarlett. Feeling the same thing as Lee Seong-min, Black Dragon’s face stiffened, and Scarlett’s complexion turned pale.
It is a feeling of fear that overwhelms even masters who have reached the level of transcendence. No matter how much Scarlett is a great wizard, it is difficult to resist the fear that gnaws at the senses of her entire body from the very beginning.
[Catch it.]
Heoju said quickly.

[I don’t know what she’s thinking, but Jennyella isn’t hiding her presence. If he is a person with weak resistance, he will not be able to endure it and his spirit will collapse.]
Scarlett’s body began to tremble. She didn’t understand why her body was shaking.
I just raise my trembling hand and hug my shoulder. My breathing becomes difficult. It felt like bugs were crawling inside her head.
Seongmin Lee immediately reached out and grabbed Scarlett’s wrist. As I held onto his energy and blood and let his inner power flow, the light returned to Scarlett’s eyes that had been blurry.
“… … Ugh!”
Scarlett pressed her temples as she felt a throbbing headache. Taking a deep breath, she raised her eyes and saw Lee Seong-min.
Soon, she made an embarrassed expression and gently pushed away Lee Seong-min’s hand, which was holding her wrist, with her fingertips.
“… … thank you. “It was so sudden that I was late in responding.”
Scarlett said that, made a hand sign, and pursed her lips. After putting on her mental shield, her mind became clear.
The Black Dragon Association looked out the window and looked nervous.
“This… … “You’re a monster.”
sincerely. The Black Dragon Association swallowed its saliva as it assessed the presence of Jennyella pressing on it.
The ferocious and ominous presence radiated by Jennyella was completely different from that of Sima Lianzhu.
If you look at the pressure itself that was putting pressure on your body and mind, it was stronger than the intimidation you felt when facing Sima Lianju.
Lee Sung-min had encountered Jennyella several times before, but this was the first time Jennyella showed off such a strong presence.
Seongmin Lee improved his endurance. A rumbling sound is heard from the danjeon, and the pressure pressing down on the body becomes slightly lighter.
I told you not to come out. Seongmin Lee opened the carriage door. This is because Sima Lianju was worried.
“What.”
Sima Lianzhu was standing on the coach seat. Ye Hua, who was sitting next to him, was holding the reins of her horse and her body was trembling.
Seongmin Lee understood why the carriage was shaking.
There was no way the horses could withstand this pressure, which was difficult for even a transcendental master to withstand.
The horses that pulled the carriage during this long journey were recognized by everyone as famous horses, but they were unable to withstand Jennyella’s pressure and died.
The reason Yehwa was able to hold on was because Sima Lianju held her shoulders with his hands and gave her strength.
Sima Lianzhu was taking off his mask.
He lifted Yehwa up into the airship and let her into the carriage that Seongmin Lee had opened.
“long time no see.”
A voice greeted me.
“Did I mislead you?”
The snowstorm stopped. The red eyes glowed brightly amidst the falling snow.
Since when has Jennyella been there? She flaunts a vicious presence that fills the entire space with fear.
Every time she walked slowly, Lee Seong-min’s heart beat like crazy.
I knew it was a monster, but I had no idea the gap would be this big.
Just as Sima Lianzhu was particularly outside the standard among the transcendental warriors, the same was true for Jennyella.
She had overwhelming strength that was incomparable to other Predator Black Stars.
“misunderstanding?”
I met Jennyella hundreds of years ago.
Before entering the forest, it was time to wander the world for a while.
At that time, the meeting with Jennyella was a coincidence, and neither Sima Lianju nor Jennyella had any hostility towards each other, so they passed by in passing.
The relationship ends there. But it’s different now.
Sima Lianzhu smiled in satisfaction at the power she displayed.
Jennyella’s eyes moved.
For a moment, she froze. As she looked at Lee Seong-min standing next to Sa Beol-ju, Jennyella couldn’t help but make an embarrassed expression without realizing it.
“Why are you here?”
I had no choice but to ask that question. Jennyella undoubtedly saw a fragmentary image of the future.
Her coming here and greeting Sima Lianju was part of the future she had seen. Yes, she definitely saw this meeting through her magical eyes.
However, Lee Sung-min was not seen in the video. That made Jennyella embarrassed. Apparently, she saw the future. It wasn’t the distant future, it was only a few hours away.
Why is Lee Seong-min, who was not present in that video, here?
“What are you talking about?”
Seongmin Lee asked that question without softening his guard. Instead of asking a question, Jennyella immediately opened her magical eyes.
Magic swirled within her red eyes. The direct gaze that sees through everything about the opponent was turned to Lee Seong-min.
twice.
Jennyella had twice opened her eyes to Lee Seong-min.
Once when I first met him in Travia. The second time was when Lee Seong-min appeared in Travia riding a fairy horse during the subjugation of Kim Jong-hyun.
At first, it was impossible to see through Lee Seong-min’s existence with the magic eye of direct vision, but it was possible to see through it the second time.
And now?
‘I can’t see it…’ … ?’
It felt like a thick fog was surrounding Lee Seong-min. Jennyella’s embarrassment grew even greater.
It couldn’t be caught in the future video, and it couldn’t be seen with the direct magic eye.
Why can’t I see something I could see last time?
“It’s messy.”
Sima Lianzhu’s voice sounded in Jennyella’s panicked ears. He looked around.
On the plain where the snow had settled, no one could be seen except Jennyella. But Sima Lianzhu clearly felt it.
The presence of countless vampires hiding in the shadows. Although they were the world’s greatest masters of concealment, it was impossible to deceive Sima Lianzhu’s senses.
“Do you want to fight with me?”
“Ahaha!”
Jennyella laughed in a high voice at Sima Lianju’s question. When laughter spread, Lee Seong-min raised both his hands and covered his ears.
Ahhh-!
The end of laughter resonates and becomes a huge sound. It shook the earth and shook Lee Seong-min’s intestines.
On the shaking earth, Sima Lianzhu’s body did not shake at all.
“no way. Ah, hahaha… … no way. No way, that can’t be possible. I have no intention of fighting… … hot! no.”
Jennyella kept making noises of laughter, wondering what was so funny.
“It’s messy? I apologize if you felt that way. Since the other person is the other person, I feel like I need to show them enough respect. Don’t worry. “They weren’t brought here to threaten you.”
Sima Lianju glanced at Jennyella, who was laughing. By catching her breath, Jennyella erased her smile.
“I know why you came here.”
“They say you can see the future.”
Jennyella’s eyes lit up at Sima Lianju’s murmurs.
“Oh my goodness. That’s one of my big secrets… … “Who told you?”
“I found out on my own.”
“lie.”
Jennyella smiled, showing her teeth at Sima Lianju’s answer.
“what… … “But that’s not important.”
Jennyella said that and turned around.
“I’ll take you to my mansion. Since I came all the way here to meet you, I think I was treated well enough… … .”
“I have one question.”
Master Sima Lian opened his mouth.
“You. “How did you know that I was coming here?”
“I saw the future.”
“okay?”
Sima Lianju chuckled.
“Then did you see a future like this?”
When the words are finished.
Jennyella’s cleanly severed head was falling to the floor.
