[259] Amzone (4)
Get out of Nerod.
I couldn’t escape.
I jumped over the castle gate. Lee Seong-min’s plan was to immediately leave this area and move to another area, and only then would he find some time to relax and return to Haras, where Sima-ryeon was located.
But as he had worried before. The situation did not turn out as Lee Seong-min had hoped.
It happened in an instant. Something falls from the sky and pierces Lee Seong-min’s feet.
It was a plain-looking sword without any decoration.
The moment I saw the sword. Seongmin Lee realized that his worries and those of Sima Lianju had become reality.
‘Inspection… … !’
Think and immediately move your body.
By repeatedly using Black Lightning’s Gale Trust, Lee Seong-min escaped that space.
Get as far away from this place as possible and then summon the fairy horse.
This is the last time you can use the fairy horse. So, my honest thought was that I wanted to save it if I could, but now was not the time to do so.
If you don’t use the fairy horse here, you can’t escape from here.
The gale of trust that unfolds again and again penetrates an enormous space.
This ultra-exhilarating method of penetrating the gaps in space cannot be used unless you are at the transcendental level, and even Lee Seong-min was not confident that he could fully use it now.
But I force myself to use it. I don’t care about the burden on my body.
Lee Seong-min’s body, which is close to that of a monster, instantly heals and guides a body burdened by excessive operation.
But the sword continued to chase Lee Seong-min.
This is a sword that has reached the level of supreme excellence. If Lee Seong-min could move through space with his confidence in the wind, Lee Ki-georeom also pierced through space in the same way.
Even though he has repeatedly unleashed a flurry of trust, the sword is still behind. Seongmin Lee gritted his teeth.
Sima Lianzhu’s warning lingers in my mind. If you encounter a sword ship, never attack it. Run away at all costs.
Even in a situation where the sword was close to the back of his neck, Lee Seong-min remembered Sima-ryeonju’s words.
He continued to run away and tried to shake off the sword. But that didn’t last long either.
When Lee Seong-min could no longer perform the gale force, he gritted his teeth and stopped his legs.
The sword was still behind Lee Seong-min. If you move just a little bit, the distance that the tip of the knife can reach. Lee Seong-min stood there and did not move.
When Lee Seong-min didn’t move, the sword didn’t move either.
[Why are you staying still?]
The sword hums and trembles.
[Keep running, baby. Playing tag is also quite fun.]
“… … “Are you a prosecutor?”
[Giggle! Who else but this old man could wield a sword so skillfully? How do you feel? Isn’t this old man’s talent quite amazing?]
“Why are you doing this to me?”
Lee Seong-min completely turned around. The tip of the sword stopped in the air was aimed between Lee Seong-min’s eyes.
[Have you seen such a shameless guy? Baby. Are you asking this because you really don’t know why this old man is like this?]
“I didn’t do any harm to the shaman.”
[Baby. This old man has an enemy with a shaman who, ostensibly, belongs to a political faction. But didn’t you cause an uproar in the land of a political faction closely related to shamans?]
“So you’re doing this to me?”
[Giggle! No, it’s just an excuse. I thought he was a very talented and fun guy. So I played around with it, and you played pretty well. So this old man was also quite excited.]
“Are you saying this is a joke?”
Seongmin Lee glared at the sword and spat out. It was my first time talking to Geomseon. He couldn’t figure out what kind of personality Geomseon had.
[He looks like a senile old man?]
Lee Seong-min couldn’t help but sympathize to a certain extent with Heo-ju’s mutterings.
[If this isn’t a joke, what is? I didn’t kill you, and I didn’t cut you down properly. I just sent the sword and chased after it. Were you not happy?]
“I’m not happy at all.”
[This old man was happy. Although he seems a little short of being called Ilcheon-i’s successor. Gulp trust still seems awkward! It is less than the 1,000 from a hundred years ago.]
“… … Are you going to kill me?”
[Why don’t you say such scary things? This old man is a Taoist. He does not commit meaningless killings.]
The swordsman spoke in a stern voice.
[If it’s someone worth killing, I’ll kill it. Baby, speak for yourself. Are you someone worth killing?]
“… … “I don’t think it’s to that extent.”
[I have to decide on that.]
Geomseon said in a smiling voice.
[Baby. Even this old man has ears to hear. I heard all about the evil deeds you, the so-called ghost, have committed.]
“Most of it is probably a misunderstanding.”
[Do you want to say you are innocent? Can you prove it?]
“If I could prove it, I would have done it right away.”
[Giggle!]
Geomseon laughed loudly at Lee Seong-min’s words.
[If possible, I would like to meet you and talk to you in person. It’s also like this old man leading his old man all the way there just to see you… … .]
“Are you asking me to come as a shaman? Do you think I’ll go?”
[What will happen if you don’t come? If you don’t come, I will kill you right here, right?]
“Didn’t you say you don’t commit meaningless killings?”
[I don’t think killing you is meaningless.]
The sword hums and trembles.
Lee Seong-min chewed his lower lip. Through Geomseon’s words, he had a rough idea of where Geomseon was. But he couldn’t believe it at all.
“… … Inspection. Are you in Wudang Mountain now?”

[yes.]
Geomseon answered without hesitation. At those words, Lee Seong-min let out a helpless laugh.
It’s not a lie. Even though I carefully looked around with my senses sharpened, I could not sense the sword’s presence.
From shaman to here. Are you spreading your sword over such an enormous distance?
“What kind of sword… … .”
[This is the real Igire Sword. This old man has been swinging the sword for hundreds of years. This old man has the best sword skills in history, and he has been wielding a sword for hundreds of years with that skill. If you want to be called a geomseon, shouldn’t you do something like this?]
surely. Seongmin Lee chewed his lower lip while thinking of Geomzone. Geomzon was also a monster who had wielded a sword for hundreds of years and reached the realm of transcendence. Compared to the inspection, it was like a child’s level.
[Go.]
After a moment of thought, the swordsman said so.
[I thought about it quite a bit, but I think it would be better not to kill you here.]
“… … “Why?”
[I can’t say thank you to you even though I said you would save my life.]
Geomseon only grumbled and did not say why he chose not to kill Lee Seong-min.
[What are you doing? Don’t run away. Hurry and run away before this old man changes his mind.]
That’s what Geomseon said. At those words, Lee Seong-min turned around without hesitation. Thinking he was glad he didn’t use his last chance to use the fairy horse.
Lee Seong-min ran with all his might and escaped from the spot.

“Do you think your body can move?”
While I was sitting in the middle of the room with my eyes closed, I heard a voice.
Kim Jonghyun opened his closed eyes and looked at the front door. Kim Jong-hyun did not ask the vampire queen who came in without knocking to be rude.
If you think about it, he was in the position of a restaurant guest who came here blindly.
“Thanks to your care.”
“Can you please stop saying disgusting things?”
Jennyella responded to Kim Jong-hyun’s sly reply as if she truly disliked it.
She had deep annoyance in her eyes that seemed to be filled with blood.
After the forest ritual failed, Kim Jong-hyun chose Jennyella’s mansion as his hiding place.
Currently, the Predator has lost a lot of power. Arbes, the arch lich, was destroyed by Kim Jong-hyun, and the king of the monsters, Red Ghost, had his heart ripped out by Yana the Elder and his whereabouts are unknown.
Joo-won was trying to fulfill the long-cherished wish of Howon, whom he killed, and was tired of the boredom that had arisen from living for so long.
Volander, who leads the Death Knights, is wandering around looking for a dragon to rid himself of the Death Knight’s curse.
And Jennyella doesn’t do anything.
“It would have been quite fun if you had completed the ritual.”
Jennyella was wearing a colorful kimono. It’s the clothes she once wore to seduce Baekmu, a blood demon. Even after Baek Mu-seon’s death, Jennyella occasionally wore kimono.
The reason was that it was flashy and uncomfortable to move. Jennyella sometimes enjoyed that kind of discomfort.
“Thanks to my failure, I have become a very ambiguous being. The demon king who has become… … No, you can’t stop. “It seems like he’s stronger than Arbes.”
Kim Jonghyun chuckled at those words. He failed a ritual he was close to completing. Due to that burden, Kim Jong-hyun’s body became like a bomb that could explode at any moment.
The ritual of reversal is to completely change the species. Even if you come close to success, failure is failure and comes with a lot of risk.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
Jennyella walked over to the bed and sat down. Her eyes held interest instead of annoyance.
“It would be impossible to carry out such a ritual again. But you still have the grimoire, and it will be possible to manipulate the grimoire’s magic even with that imperfect body.”
“That’s right.”
Kim Jonghyun answered without hiding anything. Jennyella looked at the grimoire on her desk.
It was a grimoire that every warlock dreamed of, but Jennyella had no interest in it at all.
“What were you planning to do when you became the Demon Lord in the first place?”
“I tried to act like a demon lord.”
To Jennyella’s question, Kim Jonghyun answered without hesitation.
“Like the demon kings from old stories. Either try to destroy the world or fight a hero.”
“The devil in such stories is always defeated by the hero.”
“I didn’t plan on doing that. I didn’t intend to be too greedy. ah. To tell you the truth, I never really thought much about what exactly I would do when I became the Demon Lord. “The reason I wanted to become a demon lord was because it was something I could do.”
“But you were disappointed because you failed, right?”
“I was angry too. Because I could have done it, but I couldn’t. I expected a lot, but I never expected that the Black Dragon Alliance would appear there.”
“That intervention probably occurred because you should not have become the Demon Lord.”
Jennyella burst into laughter after hearing Kim Jong-hyun’s muttering.
“I guess it’s fate. Because it is my destiny not to become the Demon King. “I didn’t become the devil.”
“Something like fate.”
Jennyella giggled at Kim Jong-hyun’s answer.
Kim Jong-hyun slightly frowned at Jennyella’s words that seemed to deny fate.
Blood-blooded Jennyella. She was an outsider who had many doubts about Kim Jong-hyun.
“Vampire Queen. “I have many questions for you.”
“I know you chose this place as a hiding place because you had something to ask.”
Jennyella said that and stared at Kim Jonghyun.
“I don’t know why you’re asking now.”
“Isn’t there such a thing as what if?”
Kim Jong-hyun said that and stood up. Check your body condition. The body that has been transformed into a half-demon king is more powerful than before.
I spent months tuning this imperfect body. Although it’s not perfect, it’s not as bad as when the first reversal failed.
“The question I ask is. Vampire Queen, if that’s rude to you. “You might try to kill me.”
“If you’re worried about that, maybe you shouldn’t ask the question.”
“I’m the type of person who needs to know anything if I have any questions.”
Kim Jonghyun smiles, showing his teeth.
“In my current body, even if you really tried to kill me. It would be impossible to fight you… … “You can at least run away.”
“Aren’t you overestimating yourself?”
Jennyella asked with a smile on Kim Jong-hyun’s words. Contrary to that expression, her eyes had turned cold, like those of a poisonous snake.
“Maybe so. Vampire Queen, I am… … While working for an organization called Predator. He always had doubts. You are a monster. In my view, you will be the strongest among the Predators, and you will not be inferior to the strongest among humans, such as Musin, Sima Lianju, and Geomseon.”
“so?”
“You have that much power. What on earth are you hoping for? … “I’m really curious.”
Kim Jonghyun laughed while saying that.
“You have lived for hundreds of years, and have been coiling up here in the north since several decades ago. And we lived quietly for a long time, as if it were all over. It’s relatively recent that you started making that move. Blood Heavenly Demon Baek Mu-seon. “Was he so great that he made you break your silence?”
“If he were a great person, he would still be alive today.”
Jennyella’s mood didn’t seem bad yet. However, Kim Jong-hyun did not forget that he was in a position where he had to be careful with every word he said.
I was telling this story because I had some confidence that I would survive, but that confidence is not half the story.
“Vampire Queen.”
Kim Jonghyun took a deep breath.
“What kind of promise was made between you and the dragons?”
