[206] Sea (5)
Massacre predation.
Seongmin Lee had heard what Volander had mentioned.
Demon Emperor Yang Il-cheon, the Master of Sima Realm, said: He says there are three people in the world he finds annoying.
The shaman’s sword, Cheon Oecheon’s martial spirit, and the Predator’s slaughter and predation.
However, Heoju said that slaughter and predation is not real.
The human monster that stands at the peak of the Predator is simply called the Slaughter Predator, and the Slaughter Predator has never appeared since Heo Joo was alive until now.
This is because among the five monsters called the Black Star, the pinnacle of the Predator, no one could be said to be the pinnacle.
“… … “Carceral Predation?”
“Didn’t Heoju tell you?”
Volander asked.
The distance between Bolander and Seongmin Lee was close. If either of them puts his mind to it, he can attack at any time. However, Bolander showed no intention of attacking.
“I’ve heard of it.”
“The massacre ceremony.”
Volander’s eyes narrowed.
“It has never appeared before. The word genocidal predation does not refer to a monster that existed in the first place, but rather a monster that will appear someday. The peak of the outside world. I was once not human, but now I am no longer human… … A monster that kills and eats everything is called a genocidal predator.”
“That might be me?”
“I think it’s quite possible.”
Bolander chuckled.
“Look at you. You are both human and not human. Your body is already a monster, not a human. “Your spirit seems to still remain human, but can we call you human?”
“He’s human.”
“You might think so yourself. In my view, you are much closer to the human side than to the human side. and… … .”
Bolander chuckled.
“You even have the energy of a dragon. As far as I know, among the existing humans, there is no one with the power of a dragon. “Wouldn’t you be closer to the slaughter predator that the Predator was looking for?”
“That’s speculation.”
“That’s right. “Because genocidal predation has never existed.”
Bolander said and took a few steps back.
“You stimulate my curiosity in many ways. “It’s been a very long time since I felt this way.”
“What are you doing here?”
Seongmin Lee asked a question. Volander then returned to his seat and shrugged his shoulders as he sat down.
“I was sailing.”
“For what purpose?”
“Looking for the dragon.”
Volander answered. It was an unexpected answer, so Seongmin Lee opened his eyes and looked at Volander.
It was because I never thought it could be for such an unexpected reason. Bolander let out a laugh as he looked at Lee Seong-min, who had a surprised expression on his face.
“Are you surprised?”
“… … little. “Because it’s a very surprising answer.”
“Me too, and all Death Knights on this ship are cursed. Some people became Death Knights in hopes of becoming like this, while others did not want to be like this, but had no choice but to become Death Knights. “No matter what, it’s the same that everyone is cursed.”
Bolander muttered that and lifted the helmet he was wearing on his head.
There was no head where the helmet had been removed. There was only shimmering darkness and a pair of golden lights floating around.
“The Death Knights on this ship, including me, have lived for a long time. We do not die unless we are killed. After death, you will fall into the hands of the devil and suffer for eternity.”
Bolander put back on the helmet he had taken off.
“I don’t want to do that, so I’m looking for a dragon. They say dragons are controlled by magic. They say that most of the magic in this world originates from dragons.”
“Are you saying a dragon can lift a curse?”
“You don’t know that. “Because I haven’t met a dragon yet.”
“Are there dragons in this sea?”
“Dragons have not been seen in this world since hundreds of years ago.”
Volander answered.
“But this sea is one of the places where dragons were last seen. Anyway, we have plenty of time. If you wander this sea, someday… … “You might meet a dragon.”
Volander muttered like that and looked at Lee Seong-min again.
“The reason I was curious about you was because you had a strong dragon energy. So I had some expectations, but in the end, they were just useless expectations.”
Bolander let out a low laugh.
“There is one last thing I would like to ask you.”
“what?”
“Are you interested in joining Predator?”
“does not exist.”
Seongmin Lee answered without any hesitation. At those words, Bolander laughed as if he knew that would happen.
“but. Since you think of yourself as a human… … It was a pointless recommendation. But one day, if you change your mind. “I will recommend you to join the Predator.”
“I do not need.”
“You might need it someday. When you become a total monster. When you ceased to be human. The people around you will abandon you first. “Humans and monsters cannot live together.”
Seongmin Lee closed his mouth and glared at Bolander. Bolander continued to speak while receiving Lee Seong-min’s harsh gaze.
“Just as humans feel secure when they are among humans, so do monsters. “At that point, you will want to join the Predators.”
“I don’t think so.”
“Hehe! I guess so now. As it happens, the monster’s seat is empty right now. “The position has been vacant ever since Red Demon had his heart ripped out by the Nine-Tailed Fox.”
Seongmin Lee no longer listened to Bolander.
Bolander did not stop Lee Seong-min, who suddenly turned around.
Seongmin Lee left Volander’s room, passed through an ominous hallway, and came out onto the deck. The Death Knights were not visible.

[The king of monsters.]
Heoju muttered.
[but. You are not a death knight, a vampire, a lycanthrope, or a lich. If you join the Predator, there is no place other than youkai.]
“I have no intention of going in.”
[I am not urging you to go in. But I’m saying you don’t have to be enemies with them. If you are going to fight Cheon Oecheon, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get Predator’s help.]
That seemed quite plausible. First of all, I was thinking of going under the umbrella of Sima Lianzhou, but the power of Sima Lianzhu, excluding Sima Lianzhou, cannot be compared to that of the Heavenly Outer Heaven.
But Predator is different.
Just looking at Bolander, he was stronger than the Sixth Emperor that Lee Seong-min had faced, and considering the power of the Death Knight led by Bolander, it was enough to trample on one of the old factions.
But I still had no desire to join Predator.
However, thanks to Volander’s recommendation, I felt like I had one more option.
If Volander, one of the Black Stars, is on a friendly footing, there will be less of a problem when you join the Predator later.
Seongmin Lee jumped from the deck of the ghost ship to Zod’s ship.
The bodies of Baekmyeonjeok and the maids he had brought with him remained on the deck.
Zod and the others were so scared that they didn’t know what to do. Seongmin Lee approached Zod, who had a strong smell of urine, and said.
“Move the boat.”
“Yes, yes… … “Yes?”
“I told them to move the boat. “I’m going to Bellador as planned.”
“Is it really okay for me to go?”
“okay.”
When Lee Seong-min nodded his head, Zod swallowed and looked at the captain next to him.
The rough-bearded captain hesitated and then ordered the sailors on deck to move the ship.
The old deck creaked loudly from the sound of the sailors running about.
The darkness began to fade.
Volander’s ghost ship disappeared, leading the darkness just as it had first appeared.
The darkness completely disappeared and it was day again. The sky was as clear as ever.
The ship set off again, but the atmosphere was frozen.
It was the first time for captains and sailors who had been sailing for a long time to see in person the ghost ship that only appears in ghost stories.
In the frozen air, Lee Seong-min gathered Baekmyeonjeok and the maid’s corpse together.
“W-what are you doing?”
Seongmin Lee did not answer, but searched the three corpses in silence.
It was just as I thought. Baekmyeonjeok is a pirate who is famous in this sea.
Although he and his pirate crew were killed when they encountered Volander’s ship, there were many gold and silver treasures in the subspace pocket that Baekmyeonjeok carefully kept in his arms.
In fact, Lee Seong-min was not so tight on money that he had to take care of all these things.
However, it was just a waste to throw this ownerless money into the sea.
Some mercenaries knew what Lee Seong-min was doing and wandered around him, but they couldn’t bring themselves to approach Lee Seong-min and ask him to drop the beans.
After taking the 100-square-foot subspace pocket, Lee Seong-min threw the three bodies into the sea.
The mediator who attacked Lee Seong-min was looking at Lee Seong-min with his lips tightly closed.
He was a master at it and pretended to be proud, but when he found out about Lee Seong-min’s true skills, there was nothing he could do but shut up.
After the encounter with the ghost ship, the voyage was without any problems.
Several times, I saw the wreckage of a ship floating in the sea. It was the wreckage of a pirate ship. It appears that it encountered Volander’s ship wandering the sea and sank.
and.
The voyage is over. It took two months for Zod’s ship to arrive at the port of Belador.
I felt like I wanted to jump off the ship, but I couldn’t.
As Belador is the largest port city in the area, the port entry procedures are strict.
The entire city has formed an alliance with the Wizard’s Guild to detect ships and people coming through the sea.
No matter how much of a transcendental master Lee Seong-min was, it was impossible for him to enter Belador without being captured by detection magic.
‘It’s a hassle, though.’
For that purpose, he purchased a C-class mercenary card from Erebrisa. If we had used the overland route, it would have taken several months longer.
Since I arrived at Belador after two months by boat, I had to endure this level of inconvenience.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
On the deck were Zod, his crew, and mercenaries. Seongmin Lee looked at them intently and warned them.
Everyone who received Lee Seong-min’s gaze became thoughtful and closed their mouths.
Although it was only a verbal warning, everyone knew it. If you talk nonsense, you will die immediately.
Just because a merchant guild mediator was on board this ship, most of the procedures could be completed quickly.
Seongmin Lee watched from a distance as Zod chatted with the port manager.
If you say one wrong word, your head will be blown off immediately.
Zod, who was well aware of that fact, flinched and trembled under Lee Sung-min’s murderous gaze.
All procedures have been completed. The mercenaries and sailors began unloading the goods from the ship.
Thanks to the sub-space pocket, there wasn’t much luggage. When the crew started unloading the goods, Lee Seong-min had already gotten off the ship.
This was because there was no longer any need to act as a hired mercenary on that ship.
‘It’s not far from here to Legro Forest.’
It will arrive in 15 days at the latest. Until he arrived at the forest, Lee Seong-min planned to continue using the name of C-class mercenary Jeong Hyun-soo.
Unlike the south, the influence of the Murim Alliance is strong here. Right now, in Bellador, there was the Namgung family, one of the martial arts families.
The Namgung family.
Lee Seong-min thought of Namgoong Hee-won.
Lee Seong-min did not hear anything about Namgung Hee-won until the last time he heard about Namgoong Hee-won escaping from the Forest of Deception.
Although I came to Bellador, I never had to see Namgoong Hee-won.
If we meet, we will probably have a difficult relationship. Rumors spread throughout Eria by the Murim Alliance that Moyong Seojin and Zhuge Taeryeong were killed by Guichang.
Namgoong Hee-won was in love with Mo Yong Seo-jin. Even after Moyong Seojin got married, she continued to do so.
Perhaps Namgung Hee-won believes the words of the Murim Alliance and regards Lee Seong-min as his enemy. If he had a misunderstanding, he wanted to clear it up, but at least not now.
Lee Seong-min left the port with those thoughts in mind. But contrary to what he thought, he could not leave Bela Dor immediately.
Seongmin Lee stopped and looked ahead in confusion.
In the middle of a large square, there was an iron cage that looked like it would contain a wild animal.
Inside the cage, a man dressed in little more than rags was sitting cross-legged.
Seongmin Lee half-opened his mouth as he looked at the dirty man’s face.
The one inside us was Namgoong Hee-won.
