Episode 305 73. Germud (2)
In the past, when I met Frau in Eormuri. Lee Seong-min heard about her destiny power from her for the first time.
At that time, Lee Seong-min did not properly understand his destiny.
But not now.
He knew very well that the power of fate that Frau spoke of at the time was meant to bring about the end of this world.
“Who would say that? “Kim Jong-hyun is one of the last.”
“The vampire queen.”
“It’s persuasive what she said. “She said she saw into the future?”
Lee Seong-min nodded his head at Frau’s frown.
Shit.
Frau swore. Frau also knows about the future vision that the Vampire Queen has. Among countless vampires, only Queen has the magical eye to see the future.
“What is the possibility that she lied?”
“In this situation, what benefit would Quinn have by lying?”
Abel laughed and asked back.
“Besides, even if what she says is false. Kim Jong-hyun’s actions have gone too far. It took less than a day for the city of Germud to fall. This means that tens of thousands of people were killed by Kim Jong-hyun in just one day. And one of the black stars, the Death Knight Lord, is with Kim Jong-hyun.”
“And you called me to fight against that madman.”
“I’m not telling you to fight and die. “I’m just asking for some help.”
“What you say is true.”
Frau had a disapproving expression on his face, but he did not withdraw from the situation. Since he is bound by a promise, he cannot refuse Abel’s request. Frau muttered while looking out his window.
“It’s strange.”
“what do you mean?”
Seongmin Lee asked a question. Frau sighed and grumbled.
“The ominous feeling flowing throughout the city is unusual. “It seems like you can’t see it.”
Even though what we have learned is different, it is very different. Seongmin Lee learned martial arts, and Abel learned magic. Frau, who had mastered magic, was clearly seeing what the two could not see.
“My soul is full.”
“… … “Is it stagnant?”
Seongmin Lee did not understand Frau’s words. This is because it was the first time I had ever heard the phrase ‘my soul is stagnant’.
“Kim Jong-hyun turned the villagers into undead. This is for sure. Before you arrived, an advance party went and looked beyond the gates, and they said that there were undead wandering from the entrance to the city. “Even though they were low-quality zombies.”
“… … hmm.”
Abel’s eyebrows furrowed at Frau’s words. He understood what Frau meant by ‘uncanny’. But it wasn’t Lee Seong-min. Because he was really ignorant about these things.
“Becoming undead means having your soul sacrificed to the devil by a warlock.”
Since Frau seemed unwilling to explain further, Abel stepped forward and spoke to Lee Seong-min.
“If you sacrifice your soul, the power of the Demon King will reside in your corpse. That’s how undead are born. How valuable is the soul, how much effort did the warlock put into it, and how much power did the demon lord give it? There, the undead are divided into classes. The souls of most humans are not that valuable, and the efficiency is also low for a warlock to step up and raise their level. This means that most of them end up becoming zombies.”
“… … ah.”
Seongmin Lee also understood. It’s definitely strange. Becoming undead means offering your soul to the devil.
In other words, there will be no soul left in this world. However, Frau expressed that his soul was filled.
“It’s true that zombies are wandering around. But there are countless souls of dead people in that city. Kim Jonghyun guy… … “It looks like he wants to do something again.”
“Can you guess?”
Seongmin Lee asked a question in response to Abel’s grumbling. Then Abel shook his head.
“I do not know. Because the grimoire’s magic has not been interpreted. Even though Gries is the twin grimoire of Grimoire, the magic they contain is very different. Kim Jonghyeon… … I don’t know what this guy’s plan is. Why is it not moving after occupying Germud? “What on earth is he aiming for by leading an army of Death Knights?”
“You son of a bitch.”
Frau blurted out in response to Abel’s muttering.
“I thought there was some way to call me.”
“I feel glad you came. “Your ghost arts will be helpful.”
“You son of a bitch.”
It was meant to lighten the mood, but Frau glared at Abel with his eyes wide open. Then he got up and opened the carriage door. She spat, grinding the back of Aladur’s head, who slumped his shoulders.
“It’s not like we’re attacking the city right away. “If I sit across from you, I feel like I really want to kill you, so I’m going back to my carriage.”
thud.
The carriage door closed. Abel shrugged his shoulders and said.
“He may have a rough mouth, but his skills are clear. I have the skills that can be said to be the pinnacle of the shaman family. “By the way, how did you get to know Frau?”
“I met him at Eormuri a few years ago.”
As Frau said, we are not entering the city right away. In many ways, giving Kim Jong-hyun a lot of time was uncomfortable, but it still required minimal preparation.
Night has come.
Tens of thousands of people died, and thousands of punitive forces camped outside the walls of the city, where just as many undead roamed around.
Many holy men and priests gathered around the carriage of Teresa, a saint of the church. Even those not connected to the church gathered around the carriage so as not to miss the opportunity to see the saint in person.
There were no orations or speeches, but Teresa prayed for the soul of the city’s dead in front of everyone.
It was pointless. Just because she prays for her soul to rest in peace does not mean that the spirits of the city will ascend to heaven. She cannot kill the undead through prayer alone.
When Abel said that preparations were necessary, Lee Seong-min made room. Seongmin Lee wandered around wearing a mask.
Several people stared at Lee Seong-min from beyond the darkness. These were people who knew the nickname ‘Gwichang’. They weren’t the only ones paying attention.
[Youkais are interested in you.]
Heo Joo chuckled.
[Because in their eyes, you must be very strange. Should I call it a half-yo? [He has so much power that he is ignorant of such a half-hearted subject.]
There’s no way you’ll win. Heoju added with a smile.
[Watch out for the back of your head. The easiest way for a monster to increase its magic power is to eat a monster stronger than itself.]
[It’s been a while.]
Seongmin Lee’s steps stopped. Someone spoke to Lee Seong-min over Heo Joo’s giggling voice.
After recognizing the owner of the voice, Lee Seong-min’s face froze. He looked around.

[It’s no use trying to find me. Because I’m unilaterally spying on you right now.]
‘Kim Jonghyeon.’
The owner of the voice was Kim Jong-hyun. Kim Jong-hyun, who is doing an unknown trick within Germud, has contacted Lee Seong-min.
[It’s hard to talk like this. How do you feel? Come into the city. I will go out to meet you.]
What kind of plan is this? Seongmin Lee squeezed and opened his hand. trap? Isn’t it too blatant to be called a trap? Why does Kim Jong-hyun want to meet me in the first place? Lee Seong-min couldn’t understand it right away.
[I guess my situation is difficult… … I’m sorry that I can’t go in person. Also, I completely understand that you don’t trust me. Even if it were me, I wouldn’t believe it. So, I promise. In this meeting, I will never harm you.]
One-sided surveillance and one-sided dialogue. Lee Sung-min wanted to answer something, but he couldn’t reply to Kim Jong-hyun.
Seongmin Lee headed to a place with few people. After confirming that there was no one around, Lee Seong-min opened his mouth.
“Why are you asking to see me?”
[Because I have a story I want to share with you.]
“I don’t think there will be any problem if we talk like this?”
[Isn’t that too heartless? It will definitely not be a bad offer for you.]
Kim Jong-hyun said no more after that. He encouraged me to come, but he didn’t force me to come. He had no choice but to do so. Kim Jong-hyun did not have the means to threaten Lee Sung-min.
[What should we do?]
Heoju asked. Should I consult Abel? Seongmin Lee glanced toward the carriage where Abel was. It was something Kim Jong-hyun did to show off. Then, as expected, the answer came back to Kim Jong-hyun immediately.
[On your own. Please select your own.]
Can you trust Kim Jong-hyun?
Think about that first. If you honestly think about it, Kim Jong-hyun has never directly harmed Lee Sung-min.
Rather, I wish I had received a few helpings from him. Looking at the entire area, Kim Jong-hyun massacred thousands in the north and tens of thousands in the southern city of Germud, killed Arbes, who was called the Two-Faced Sage, and is the owner of the most dangerous grimoire, Grimoire. He is also a quasi-demon lord who gained the power of a demon lord while being human.
Even though Kim Jong-hyun was like that, he never harmed Lee Sung-min.
That doesn’t mean I trust Kim Jong-hyun. He was the first scourge of the apocalypse, and even now he is plotting something in Germud. Does the oath have any effect on him, the quasi-demon king?
‘Maybe it’s an opportunity.’
Lee Seong-min’s figure disappeared in the darkness. He used a combination of black lightning and light attack and arrived in front of the castle wall in an instant. Then he immediately kicked off the ground and jumped onto the wall.
Although I couldn’t trust the oath unconditionally. This was also an opportunity to meet alone with Kim Jong-hyun.
If you’re lucky, you might not only be able to figure out Kim Jong-hyun’s true intentions, but you might be able to kill him. okay. If only Kim Jong-hyun were killed.
Go over the castle wall and fall down. From beyond the walls to inside the walls. Even with that, the air was different. The foul smell was one I had ever smelled before.
The smell of a rotting corpse. Seongmin Lee frowned and fell down. The city with the lights off was pitch black.
[This way.]
before your feet touch the ground. Kim Jonghyun’s voice was heard.
Pabababat.
A light turns on in the black street. The wandering zombies did not approach Lee Seong-min. He twisted his body and lowered his posture as if he was afraid of the sphere of light floating in the darkness. The long string of lights led to the village.
Seongmin Lee was in no hurry. He took out his spear and took off his mask.
It was to prepare for an emergency. He slowly entered the village. Seongmin Lee looked for signs of Death Knight. does not exist. I didn’t feel it. There were only zombies in the village.
The light connected to it was the largest mansion in town. The door opened by itself.
“Did you have dinner?”
Kim Jonghyun’s voice came from inside.
Kim Jong-hyun was sitting in a spacious restaurant. He looked at Lee Seong-min with a kind smile.
Instead of the robe he always wore, he was wearing a white shirt. I glance at the generously prepared table. I hadn’t eaten yet, but I didn’t want to eat alone with Kim Jonghyun.
“Honestly, I was surprised. “I didn’t think you would be here.”
Didn’t answer. Kim Jong-hyun, with his sad smile, did not feel at all that he was the person responsible for massacring tens of thousands of people.
If you think about it, it was like that even when we first met. He was smiling like that even in the middle of the room where the severed organs were floating.
Seongmin Lee slowly looked around.
“but. I am reassured that you are here. you are… … .”
Kim Jong-hyun’s words are not over.
Black Lightning is amazing.
If you set your mind to it, you won’t even be able to see its movement. Although he was unable to achieve a transformation, Lee Seong-min inherited the power of Sima Lianju.
In his mind, the essence of the Black Lightning Heaven that Sima Lianju had reached was still there.
Wow!
The space shook with the explosion of alcohol. Seongmin Lee slowly lowered his spear.
That’s a harsh greeting.
Kim Jonghyun laughed bitterly.
Even though he made up his mind and threw out his spear, he didn’t get hurt at all.
“I didn’t mean to blindly talk to you alone. “I have at least prepared the means to protect myself.”
“Why did you ask to see me?”
Lee Seong-min raised his spear again and aimed it at Kim Jong-hyun. The smile did not disappear from Kim Jong-hyun’s face.
“I wanted to make you a suggestion.”
“which?”
“A proposal to become colleagues.”
Kim Jong-hyun’s smile became darker.
