Episode 366 87. Sleeping Forest (1)
Before going to Sleeping Forest. Seongmin Lee sat cross-legged in the center of the fairy forest.
Right behind it was the lake where Osla dwelt. Seongmin Lee closed his eyes, ignoring the glances of Osla, the fairies, and Teresa.
“What happened?”
“Nothing happened.”
The Black Dragon Association answered Teresa’s question. It wasn’t a story that could be said to have happened without eating a person, but the Black Dragon Association was also aware of it, so they didn’t tell Teresa about it.
Teresa also understands that Lee Seong-min’s body is not human but a monster, but it does not seem like Teresa will understand cannibalism.
Even without needing an explanation, Osla realized what had happened to Lee Seong-min.
She quietly flapped her wings and came over to put her hand on Lee Seong-min’s shoulder.
[I could have helped.]
‘I just didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble.’
[What are you talking about?]
Seongmin Lee told Osla about what he was worried about. Then Osla puffed out her cheeks.
[…] … Thank you for your consideration.]
‘What happens if the queen invades the fairy forest?’
[Are you asking if I can suppress the queen?]
‘yes.’
[…] … Umm… … .]
Osla flapped her wings and thought for a moment.
[…] … You can’t kill Quinn. Did I tell you? She is a being of this world, but she surpasses the power of the transcendent. If you look at the status of existence alone, I am higher… … However, my level is not enough to suppress the queen.]
‘then?’
[It means we can’t kill each other. It would be impossible for me to die in this forest, and it would be impossible for me to kill Queen.]
‘But how did you know?’
[Your energy has changed a little. The spirit power has become vicious. It would be better not to eat too much. Even if there is no extreme rampage like before, it is not a good thing to add cannibalism to the body of a monster.]
Seongmin Lee nodded his head while listening to Osla’s advice. He concentrated his mind and traced the memories of his blood demon.
Memories as a warrior with personal memories removed.
A group of blood demons.
In fact, there was almost nothing useful among them. Lee Seong-min already had a group of martial arts masters who were at a higher level than blood demons.
Even if I didn’t fully understand it, it was important to know. This is because it means that there is still room for growth.
‘I need to completely transform myself.’
At least that level must be achieved. With my current skills, even blood demons are the limit.
Although he finally killed the blood demon using his herbivore, Mugeuk, he fell into exhaustion immediately afterward.
Can I kill Jennyella using martial arts? I am not so sure. She has no regrets when she fails to kill. Mugeuk was a mortal herbivore, and he must kill his opponent.
‘What more should I do?’
I can’t see the road.
After being able to use Mugeuk, he was successful in achieving Shinchang Hapil. However, it was still impossible to apply other mental powers to the body.
He just follows Chosik’s older brother and conveys his feelings. Without herbivorous diet, it is impossible to freely unfold one’s mind. First of all, should we start by throwing away our herbivorous older brother? In what time period?
There are three martial arts that Lee Seong-min can properly perform.
Gucheonmugeukchang, Muyeongtalhon, Blood Hwanshinmagong.
Among them, the Kang Qigong, Blood Hwan Shin Demon Gong, is almost like Cho Sik’s older brother, but Muyeong Talhon and Gucheon Mugeukchang are not.
I thought about how Sima Lianju was fighting. He only used one black thunderbolt.
There was no need to call it herbivorous. Every single gesture of Sima Lianju’s hands could be said to be a sacred act.
‘There’s not enough time.’
It was so lacking. Will I be able to receive Denir’s training again? No, that’s impossible.
Denir made it clear that he could only receive his training once. So should he go back to the mountain of Mshi?
I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I can’t be isolated on the mountain of Mshi.
Throwing away the herbivorous form, adopting the mind, and advancing to a higher state. Things that may not be possible even if you dedicate your whole life to it.
[Do not be crushed.]
Heo Joo’s voice awakened my preoccupied mind.
[Doing what you can comes first. Things I can’t even do yet. Don’t be weighed down by things you may or may not be able to do. Jennyella is a tough opponent, but you don’t have much chance of winning. Fortunately, there are people around you who can help.]
okay. Seongmin Lee lifted his head, feeling a pounding headache. He took out the mask he had kept in his arms and looked down at it.
If Sima Lianju were alive. For a moment the thought struck her, and she shook her head to shake it off. It’s a meaningless thought.
Rather, it was comforting to relive the fight against the blood demon. Anyway, it would be impossible to ride a fairy horse and go to the Sleeping Forest right now.
There was no signal for those heading to the Chenelon Great Lakes and Dahar Ruins. It would probably have arrived by now, but it seemed like the Spirit King had not descended yet.
By the time the restoration was over, night had already passed. I couldn’t sleep. Her head was a mess. I didn’t want to be crushed, but deciding to do so didn’t make it easy.
Seongmin Lee quietly stood up. He thought about swinging a spear, but he didn’t want to wake the sleeping people.
[How about going to Sleeping Forest?]
Heoju advised.
[I guess I can ride a fairy horse now. I can’t sleep anyway. If the Queen of Spirits had descended, Lloyd would have notified her with her bracelet, but no such signal has come. It would be better to visit once.]
‘okay.’
Going for a walk when you can’t sleep may be a long way, but if you ride a fairy horse, it’s an instant. Seongmin Lee was conscious of the sleeping forest while riding a fairy horse.
The place he remembered was the place where he first met Heo Joo. Then the fairy Ma purred and shook his head.
‘what?’
“You can’t go.”
Osla, who was lying on the surface of the lake, spoke in a sleepy voice.
“Just because it’s a fairy horse doesn’t mean it can go everywhere. After all, it’s just a place that exists in this world. I don’t know where you came up with this, but the place you want to go is a place that fairy horses can’t go. “It’s a place that doesn’t exist in this world.”
“That can’t be possible.”

Seongmin Lee looked down at the fairy horse with an incomprehensible expression. He once again remembered the place where he met Heo Ju, but this time, he only shook his head at Fairy Ma.
Seongmin Lee recalled the first time he went to Sleeping Forest. Without the help of the clan that guards the Sleeping Forest, the path blocking the forest cannot be cleared.
Could it be that the forest barrier is so strong that not even a fairy demon can overcome it?
“Where are you going?”
Luvia approached, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Lee Sung-min held Rubia’s hand, thinking that she was lucky.
When Luvia looked surprised, Lee Seong-min lifted his index finger and placed it on his lips.
“Get on.”
An explanation of the situation came later. Lee Seong-min jumped on the fairy horse with Rubia, being careful not to wake the others. The place he arrived was near the Sleeping Forest, at the entrance to the clan’s village.
“This place… … .”
At that point, Luvia opened her eyes wide and muttered. Seongmin Lee came down from the fairy horse and asked Rubia.
“It’s a sleeping forest.”
“Why did you come here?”
“I wanted to see the state of the forest before the Spirit Queen descends. “I also have some questions.”
If you think about it, Sleeping Forest has long been a place with many questions.
The reason Envirus came here.
Lee Seong-min couldn’t figure out the reason until the end. Envirus was trying to check something in the sleeping forest.
It was a coincidence due to fate that Lee Seong-min went to the Sleeping Forest after Envirus, and meeting Heo Ju there was also a coincidence.
Ssalposik said that Lee Seong-min before awakening was so weak that he needed Heo-ju’s help.
“Why did Envirus come to this forest?”
“… … that… … “I don’t know either.”
Luvia answered with her lips pouting.
“Because the master did not tell me everything. What I heard from the owner was that he was waiting here… … “All I was told was to meet Lee Seong-min and go with him.”
Envirus attached Rubia to Lee Seong-min and attempted to monitor Lee Seong-min’s condition.
Envirus had a glimpse of fate and had some idea that Lee Seong-min was a dangerous person. It’s not that he knew that Lee Seong-min was a massacre predator.
What Envirus was wary of was that Lee Seong-min’s power as a monster would become stronger and he would be eaten by Heoju.
“You don’t know anything else?”
“The master wanted to go to the end of the forest. But he failed.”
“failure?”
“yes.”
Luvia nodded her head.
“Actually, I don’t know. Keep going… … He said it wouldn’t work and came back. “With a very sad expression.”
Envirus is dead.
‘What’s in there?’
[I do not know.]
Heoju answered.
[I would have said it back then too. This forest is a place where the souls of old monsters are bound.]
This is the story I heard when I first met Heo Joo. The clan that manages this forest ensures that the seal of the forest is maintained just by existing.
It was said that the seal prevented the monsters whose souls were tied to the forest from waking up.
‘Is Kazuya alive?’
Seongmin Lee recalled the village chief he met a long time ago. Kazuya led a clan that protected the forest, and was pursuing the clan’s secret wish.
However, Kazuya himself did not know what their secret wish was.
When he first met Heo Joo, Lee Seong-min asked Heo Joo. Are you the secret wish of the forest clan? At that time, Heo Ju answered that he was just a being in the middle of the road and that he had nothing to do with the secret garden of the forest.
Seongmin Lee slowly entered the village. Morning was approaching, but the village was quiet.
Even 10 years ago, it was a small place and there weren’t that many people… … The village today is more shabby than then. Seongmin Lee glanced around.
It smelled.
Seongmin Lee approached a nearby house. I push the closed door slightly. The unlocked door opened easily when pushed.
“eww… … .”
Luvia, who was behind Seongmin Lee, let out a groaning sound. Lee Seong-min wrinkled the bridge of his nose at the stench.
Bodies were strewn in the hallway leading to the door. When I got closer and checked, it wasn’t a body that someone had killed.
‘Epidemic… … ?’
The body had been dead for some time and had suffered severe natural damage. Seongmin Lee passed the corpse and went inside. There may have been a possibility of an infectious disease, but it was of no concern to Lee Seong-min, who had achieved imperishability against Germany.
It wasn’t just the corpse in the hallway. There were corpses in the same shape in the room as well.
The whole village was like that.
[This is difficult.]
Heoju muttered.
[Those guys are going to fall, it’s something that can’t be helped. Those guys have been weakened through inbreeding for a long time. It seems like he learned martial arts to overcome that, but learning martial arts with a weak body doesn’t mean he can enjoy a heavenly life. Their lifespan is too short to begin with.]
Even elixir, an all-purpose potion, cannot help with that kind of illness.
[Dead can’t be helped, but if all the villagers die, the forest seal won’t be maintained.]
‘You don’t even know what’s sealed.’
[You know they are old monsters. Doesn’t it feel ominous just by looking at it? They may be one of the apocalypses.]
There may be survivors. Seongmin Lee headed to Kazuya’s house. The fact that there were no lights on in the mansion made Lee Seong-min anxious, but when he opened his senses, he saw that there was someone inside. He slowly opened the door and entered.
“Who are you?”
A weak voice was heard.
“Socheonma. “Is it you?”
Lee Seong-min’s expression hardened at the following question.
