Episode 304 73. Germud (1)
Teresa had an expression on her face that said she had not imagined Lee Sung-min answering like that. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Lee Seong-min.
“why?”
Teresa asked in an incomprehensible voice.
“What you have will definitely kill you at some point. Or make you not yourself.”
“I know.”
Lee Seong-min is well aware of the danger. In particular, the poison that Teresa mentioned was spreading throughout the body.
That would speak of magical power.
Even if it is not the presence of the Black Heart or Heoju, the magical power spread throughout the body is poison to Lee Seong-min.
Osla’s seal is not complete. Even if you suppress it right now, it will explode someday. Osla had also warned about this several times.
Even though the immediate danger has been suppressed, don’t be complacent. Find a way to completely press it down.
Purification means completely erasing Lee Seong-min’s magical power. Maybe that’s a neat solution.
but.
“Magic power… … therefore. Can you only purify the poison that has spread throughout my body?”
“that… … It’s impossible. Because it purifies all the impurities in your body. “It’s impossible to just pick out the magic power and purify it.”
“So it’s okay.”
I didn’t want to lose anything else. black heart? I have benefited a lot from it so far. It was thanks to the black heart that he was able to inherit the power of Sima Lianju.
I don’t want to lose it. This was a possibility that Sima Lianju sacrificed his own body to convey to Lee Seong-min.
There was room to become stronger and move forward. If he had not inherited the power of Sima Lianju, Lee Seong-min would have hardly been able to grow.
“I don’t want to lose it.”
It was not rejected for that reason alone.
Heoju.
Seongmin Lee was conscious of the uninvited guest in his head.
At first, when Heoju was in the barding, I wanted to remove it if I could. I didn’t have any thoughts about that now.
Heo Joo was Lee Seong-min’s companion, colleague, and friend.
Also, in a way, he was like a teacher to Lee Seong-min.
[If a bastard who knows that much does something, he’s going to soak me in a bucket of shit?]
Heoju grumbled. Teresa slowly nodded her head. She said, taking her hand that her Lee Seong-min had pushed away and pointing it back towards her own.
“If at any time you change your mind, please let me know.”
“That probably won’t happen.”
“You don’t know what’s going on in the world. Guichang, you… … It’s very dangerous. What is inside your body can only be called chaos, and if it explodes, your existence will not be able to endure and will be erased. “After that?”
“I know that too.”
The corners of Lee Seong-min’s mouth slowly rose.
“But it can’t be purified.”
“Do you really want to live with the risk?”
“Because I need it.”
okay.
need. Heoju, black heart, and spirit power.
Lee Seong-min couldn’t imagine himself with all that gone.
I wouldn’t have been able to get to where I am now with just what I had from birth.
These fortunes, the help of things that are not my own. Because all of that came together, Lee Seong-min is what he is today.
Even if this happened according to the flow of fate. Lee Seong-min couldn’t throw it away now.
“Don’t talk like that.”
Abel intervened.
“What are the measures against Kim Jong-hyun?”
* * *
“What are you going to do?”
After talking with Teresa, Lee Seong-min and Abel returned to the carriage they had originally ridden in. How to act has already been decided.
Lee Seong-min and Abel, as helpers of the church, decided to attack Kim Jong-hyeon, who was occupying Germud, together with them.
“It might help.”
Abel returned to the carriage and immediately took a cigarette break.
“Teresa didn’t seem to know, but I’m not sure the entire church won’t know about the end times. But regardless, the church and Teresa have no choice but to stop Kim Jong-hyun.”
“What about other reinforcements?”
“It must be difficult. Because the martial arts power is low in the south. Do you think a bunch of youkai will cooperate with this? There is nothing to strictly discuss. “They and we are of different species.”
“What about the Wizard’s Guild?”
“Don’t expect much. The distance is too far. Even if I, the guild leader, give the order, it will take several months for the magic tower owners or magic troops to arrive here. Or are you going to use your fairy horse to move them back and forth?”
“Is it possible?”
“It would be impossible. Just because it’s a fairy horse doesn’t mean it’s all-powerful. Moreover, continuous space jumping puts a strain on yourself.”
Abel grumbled and blew out a long puff of smoke.
“In the first place, I did not expect that I would be able to gain a numerical superiority against Kim Jong-hyun, who is a necromancer and brought along an army of Death Knights.”
I heard many stories from Teresa. The church’s position was that it would absolutely kill Kim Jong-hyun, who committed massacre in Germud and raised those killed into undead.
Because of this, Teresa, who had never been revealed publicly, stepped forward in person, and hundreds of Holy Knights and priests were mobilized. In addition to the troops currently on the move, the Holy Knights are gathering around Germud.
“At most, it’s a few thousand.”
But Abel’s answer was cold.
“The best we can hope for is the compatibility between black magic and holy magic. “Can that overturn the difference between hundreds of thousands and thousands of troops?”
“No.”
Seongmin Lee answered with a grave expression. It might have been possible if there had been a Sima Lianju. With his overwhelming inaction, even this large difference in military strength could have been reversed. However, Sima Lianju died.

So Seongmin Lee should do it.
“Are you going to run away?”
“no.”
Abel shook his head.
“We can stop it now.”
There was no wavering in Abel’s voice as he said that. There is a dozens of times difference in military history. Kim Jong-hyun not only inherited Arbes’ power, but also became a quasi-demon king and wielded the power as a demon king. The grimoire he has is a magic book for the Demon Lord, so Kim Jong-hyun, who has become a quasi-Demon King, will be able to handle the magic of the grimoire.
“You can ignore the large number of undead. The Paladins will stop the Death Knight, and you will be able to stop Volander.”
“you are?”
“I stop Kim Jong-hyun.”
Abel spat out.
“I am different from you.”
As Abel exhaled, he searched the inside of his robe. What I took out from the subspace pocket there was a small crystal ball.
“But you never know. “I guess I’ll have to ask for help.”
“To whom?”
“To an old friend.”
Because it happens to be in the south. Abel placed both hands on the crystal ball.
Four days later. The carriage stopped in front of Germud. There were already quite a few people gathered there.
At first glance, the number seemed to be in the thousands. It was more than Abel expected.
The destruction of a city caused many people to flee in fear, but not everyone did.
Those willing to risk their lives to stop the terrible demon named Kim Jong-hyun gathered on the plain in front of the city.
Abel and Lee Seong-min sat in the carriage and looked outside. You can see priests and paladins wearing white clothes. In addition, there were mercenaries and indigenous people living in the south.
[There are also monsters.]
Heoju muttered.
‘Are they also here to stop Kim Jong-hyun?’
[That is too friendly a thought. The reason the monster came here is probably to pick up fear and eat it. This level of massacre is unprecedented. That city has already become hell, a mixture of the fears unleashed by the dead. If you’re a monster that craves power, you can’t help but be greedy.]
Do you know what this means? Heoju clicked his tongue.
[It won’t be a very good battlefield for you. Even though it is sealed, breathing the air of that city will stimulate the suppressed energy.]
‘But you can’t run away.’
[If you were Sima Lianju, you wouldn’t have run away, right? As this old man said last time, you are different from Sima Lianju… … .]
‘That’s not why.’
Heo Joo’s words stopped at what Lee Seong-min said.
‘If you were a teacher, you wouldn’t have run away. Yes, I am not a teacher. I can run away. But I don’t want to run away. If you were a teacher, you wouldn’t have done that… … No. I don’t want to run away. If Kim Jong-hyun is the end, I have to stop him.’
[Do you think that is your role? Since this is the end you brought about, do you think it is right for you to prevent it?]
‘Because I don’t want to die, everything.’
Heoju laughed in response.
‘I can’t come this far and watch the world fall to ruin because of something called apocalypse. At best, he died and returned to the past. I gained strength that is incomparable to my past self. however… … Dying? ‘f*ck you, why am I dying?’
[It’s good to be honest!]
Heoju’s laughter grew louder.
“There are more than I thought. “I could at least use it as a meat shield.”
“What friend are you planning to meet?”
“It will come soon.”
As Abel said that, he touched the crystal ball on his lap.
About his friend, Abel didn’t say much. All she said was that it would help.
‘huh?’
Someone approaches the carriage. You came. Abel grumbled and put her crystal ball into her arms.
Lee Seong-min’s eyes opened wide as he looked out the window at the person approaching him.
A woman walking ahead with an annoyed face, and a man following behind her with his head down.
Both of them were people that Lee Seong-min had met before.
Frau and Aladur.
In the past, when Lee Seong-min came down to the south to lift the curse of Wijihoyeon. He had met Ala Dur, who was in charge of guiding the warriors of the political faction, in the Forest of Deception.
Somehow, after saving Aladur’s life, I also developed a relationship with Aladur’s teacher, Frau, thanks to what he told me.
Quadang!
The carriage door opened. Frau opened the carriage door with the intention of tearing it off, stuck his head inside and looked around.
The first thing she saw was Abel sitting with his arms crossed.
“What a bastard.”
Frau couldn’t hold back and swore. After glaring at Abel with murderous eyes, Frau’s gaze turned to Lee Seong-min.
“… … “Why are you here?”
“Long time no see.”
After Gwangcheonma’s death, he left Eorumuri. Almost two years have already passed since then.
It may not have been a short time, but Frau remembered Lee Seong-min.
“If I had known you would be there, I would have told Yana.”
Frau muttered that and sat down next to Lee Seong-min. Aladur stood before the entrance to the carriage, his shoulders slumping.
When Aladur tried to come in, Frau rolled his eyes and spat out.
“Where did you come in, you bastard? “Stand in front of the carriage!”
“yes… … .”
Aladur answered in a weak voice. Lee Seong-min felt a little pity when he saw Aladur like that, but he couldn’t even say hello to him because the carriage door was slammed shut.
“Was that friend Frau?”
“I didn’t know you knew each other.”
“friend? Damn my friends. “A so-called friend is inviting you to go to the dead with him?”
“If you didn’t like it, you could have refused.”
“I was crazy. “Why did I make a promise to you a long time ago?”
Frau gritted his teeth and spat out, and Abel chuckled. It seems that there was some kind of promise between the two. An oath made with mana is the same as staking one’s life, so it can never be broken.
“You can’t necessarily say buy it. The punitive force gathered more than expected. The saints of the church also came forward in person. Not only do you, the great sorcerer, help me, but I also have reached the highest level among wizards. And this guy. As you know, he is one of the strongest among martial arts warriors.”
“Aladur!”
Frau immediately shouted at Abel’s words. Then the carriage door opened gently and Aladur stuck his face into the carriage.
“What’s going on, Master…?” … 100 million!”
Aladur’s words were not finished. The regime that Frau called for was thrown into Aladur’s face.
“it’s okay. “Go back out.”
Aladur made a crying sound, holding his fist-sized nose. Abel asked in bewilderment.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m pissed.”
“So you beat up your student?”
“The disciple is the one who ran away because he didn’t want to take care of me. “He should be lucky that he didn’t get killed.”
Frau grumbled and adjusted the positions of the rings surrounding his wrist.
“It’s not unusual.”
Frau’s eyes narrowed.
“I don’t know what’s going on in that city, but it’s not unusual. “How about we go back together now?”
“no. “You can’t do that.”
Abel answered immediately. He said, putting his hand on Gries.
“Kim Jong-hyun is Jong-eon’s first disaster.”
“Oh, shit.”
Hearing Abel’s words, Frau covered his face with both hands.
