Episode 322 76. Unconsciousness (1)
“Lee Seong-min!”
Theos approaches with a bright expression. Behind him were the Holy Knights who looked tired and the survivors who survived Kim Jong-hyun.
The physical wounds were healed by Teresa and the saints, but the mental fatigue from repeated fights remained.
“Really, really… … “You are amazing.”
Theos said that with sincerity. Demon King Kim Jong-hyun. Although we had all heard his name, today was the first time we had seen him in person or fought him in person.
They broke through the zombie army and faced the Death Knight army. If the Death Knights had not retreated midway, the Holy Knights and the crowd would have suffered enormous damage.
I barely made it through them and came here. Kim Jong-hyun suddenly met… … He was truly a person with power worthy of a demon lord.
The magic he unleashed was not magic, but rather a more primitive violence that fit the meaning of the word.
But in the end they won. I don’t know what happened, but Demon King Kim Jong-hyun has disappeared.
Still, I know this. Even if it is not clear, it was none other than Lee Seong-min who fought against the devil until the very end.
“You are a hero!”
Theos shouted as he approached Seongmin Lee. And everyone agreed with it.
If it wasn’t for Lee Seong-min, everyone would have died. Except for Lee Sung-min, there is no one here who can stop Kim Jong-hyun.
Even Teresa’s divine power could not subdue Kim Jong-hyun. Even the Holy Knights and the crowd, who were endlessly recovering from their wounds and receiving replenishment of physical strength from the divine power of Teresa and the priest, were unable to do anything about the Demon King Kim Jong-hyun.
Only Lee Seong-min did not receive help from the Holy Knights and Priests. He single-handedly defeated the Death Knight’s corps commander.
That alone would be an achievement worthy of being called a hero. Even the demon king Kim Jong-hyun was defeated by Lee Sung-min.
“Lee Seong-min?”
Approaching Lee Seong-min, who was standing blankly. Theos felt a slight sense of discomfort.
An inexplicable feeling of anxiety was tickling my skin. Something is strange.
Theos did not ignore the instinctive feeling of discomfort. He stopped in his tracks and looked at Lee Seong-min.
Come to your senses, come to your senses… … .
The words wandering around in his head were loud and annoying noises that had no meaning to him.
Yao Seong, born from Lee Seong-min, was Seong-min Lee, but was not Seong-min Lee. Lee Seong-min’s personality, way of thinking, everything disappeared.
The Lee Seong-min standing here now was not him, but a completely different monster.
What Heo Joo and Lee Seong-min were so wary of happened.
No matter how much Heo Joo and Lee Seong-min believe in themselves. Now that the magic of reversal has turned the species itself upside down, Lee Seong-min becomes something other than a human being.
“Lee Seong-min… … ?”
Originally, Seongmin Lee’s consciousness sank to a very deep place.
If he had originally become a complete monster, Lee Seong-min’s consciousness as a human would have been completely obliterated.
But it wasn’t destroyed. As a human being, my consciousness was buried in a very deep, deep place of unconsciousness and fell asleep.
It was only possible because Lee Seong-min held on to his own consciousness until the end. And it was all thanks to Heo Joo’s desperate efforts to keep Lee Seong-min’s consciousness from disappearing.
‘This… … .’
Theos’ eyes waver. Lee Seong-min’s face, which was looking at the sky, slowly falls down.
In Theos’s eyes, the continuous movement seemed abrupt.
My instinct was constantly warning me. Step back. Don’t stand still.
Run away… … Cold sweat drips from inside the armor I am wearing. why? Reason continues to question the warnings of instinct.
Lee Seong-min is not a dangerous person.
The world’s perception is that he is a disciple of Sima Lian Ju. Mine. Ear window. Even if he was treated like this, the Lee Seong-min that Theos saw was not a very evil person.
At least everyone here was saved by Lee Seong-min.
But why? Than when I faced the demon king Kim Jong-hyun… … Are you feeling a greater threat now?
Before long, Theos understood.
It was after a very little time had passed. When Lee Seong-min’s head fell completely down and saw Theos.
When a pair of golden eyes, which could not be considered human, turned to Theos.
Theos did not feel any human emotions within him.
All of the teeth visible between the slightly opened lips are sharp. It was a shape suitable for biting and chewing something.
“ah… … .”
Theos’ face turned white. I want to run away. Theos quickly raised the sword he was holding in his hand.
The moment I lifted the sword, it split into two. What Seongmin Lee swung was not a spear. His long, sharp nails split his knife like tofu.
Phew!
Blood spurted from Theos’ chest.
At best, he swung his fingernails, but not only the sword but also his breastplate was cut deeply.
Teresa and the priests’ faces turned white as they saw the blood gushing out from the gap.
“Te, Theos?!”
Fellow paladins shout in panic. Theos stood back, his face pale.
Fortunately, fatal injuries were avoided. At that moment, following the warning of instinct and taking a few steps back saved Theos’ life.
“Mo, everyone run away!”
I don’t know why, but my ears are going crazy.
But Lee Seong-min moves faster than that. He swung his right hand, which had nothing in it, without swinging his spear.
With a light swing of the hand, purple magic power rushed like a storm. Theos quickly threw himself backwards, spurting out blood.
The other paladins also succeeded in throwing themselves away thanks to Theos’ warning.
But not the crowds. The few remaining crowds were turned into blood and disappeared due to the storm of magical power created by Lee Seong-min.
“Ah ah ah ah ah!”
A shout like scraping metal came out of Lee Seong-min’s mouth.
Heoju continued to shout. Come to your senses.
Didn’t you decide that you would never become a monster?
That cry is far away.

no.
‘no.’
I’m listening.
Deep in his consciousness, Lee Seong-min opened his eyes. He slowly got up.
Where am I? Lee Seong-min gasped for breath and looked around.
It was a pitch black world. Oh yeah. At that moment, Seongmin Lee understood where this place was. It’s a place I’ve already been to before.
therefore… … In Eormuri. When I first awakened as a youkai. When Yo-seong takes over Lee Seong-min’s consciousness, and the original Lee Seong-min is buried deep in the unconscious.
Seongmin Lee was here.
‘But it’s different than back then.’
Seongmin Lee thought blankly. At that time. It was in this unconsciousness that I met Heo Joo. He also saw Yao Sheng running wild.
But now I can’t see anything. There is only pitch-black darkness. The situation was different then. Now Lee Seong-min has become a complete monster.
‘What on earth happened?’
I just can’t understand. Why was the seal suddenly broken? Why did I suddenly become a monster? Where on earth has Kim Jong-hyun gone?
“That warlock.”
Lee Seong-min, who was walking in the dark in a daze, stopped.
“Before I was banished from time and space, I left you a very interesting gift. The magic of reversal… … Hehehe. The magic that turned him into a demon lord was directed to you. “But you have become a monster, not a demon lord.”
This voice.
It wasn’t Heo Joo’s voice.
“I guess I was lucky. Thanks to desperately holding on to my consciousness, my humanity was not destroyed. But that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. “You will always be wandering around in this unconsciousness.”
“you… … Who is it?”
In response to the giggling voice, Lee Seong-min asked a question in a dazed voice.
ha ha ha.
A hollow laugh echoed from the depths of the darkness. Seongmin Lee took a deep breath and headed towards that direction. Every time I walk, in the dark… … There were scenes that were cut out.
It was a scene that everyone knew about Lee Seong-min.
What was left in his subconscious and remembered, what he had experienced in his life so far. Impressive scenes.
All scenes from my past life and my current life were mixed together.
When I was first summoned to Zenavis. It is a memory from a past life, not from this life.
Memories of when I was summoned to Zenavis without knowing anything. When I was really 14 years old. I don’t know anything, I force myself to understand… … A time when you had to do anything to survive.
I learned cheap martial arts techniques. He thought that a spear striking from a distance would be less dangerous than fighting at close range, and he picked up a spear after receiving advice that a spear would be good for beginners to get used to.
That’s how I lived.
As a mercenary.
A C-rank mercenary of the Corona mercenary group. I admired Zeon. Zeon, who came from the same no-class class but broke through the wall of climax. Nowadays, he seems ridiculous to Lee Sung-min, but in the world that Lee Sung-min saw at the time, he was a person who was at the top of the world just by being at the peak of his power.
I long for it. Even though I think I want to be like that. Little effort is made to do so.
That’s how he died. She doesn’t live very long.
“It’s insignificant, right?”
The voice said with a smile. Seongmin Lee continued walking. It wasn’t long before the voice came from.
But every time he went forward, Seongmin Lee saw different scenes. What if the scenes that were evaluated as insignificant were in his past life as a C-class mercenary and then died? What Lee Seong-min was seeing now was a life that had not yet ended.
I met Wijihoyeon under the pretense of coincidence. He learned her martial arts from her and made her his target.
He trained in the mountains of Mushi and worked as a mercenary in Zenabis. Meet Freskan and get the Black Heart.
“That’s the important part.”
The voice chuckled.
After that, I went to Shaolin. After training in Shaolin, go to the volcano, kill the sword demon, and meet Denir. Next, I went to Sleeping Forest and met Heoju and Rubia.
“This place is important too.”
In the dungeon, I reunited with Baek Sogo and Wijihoyeon. He went north, met Jennyella and Gwangcheonma, and killed Hyeolcheonma.
He went south to Rubes and reunited with Wijihoyeon again. He met Sabeibju. He fought Amzon. Further south to break the curse. I killed the remnants of Heoju in Deven.
“This place too.”
I met Yana, Frau, and Envirus in Eormuri. She broke up with Gwangcheonma. I have obtained the magic power of Eormuri.
“It’s very important.”
Further, further south. By killing Geomjon and Gwonjon… … Continue like that. Seongmin Lee saw a video of himself living.
I saw Sima Lianzhu’s death again. Of course it wasn’t a good feeling. In the scene where Osla decides to eat Sima Lianju’s body, and Osla helps. The owner of the voice burst into joyful laughter and clapped his hands.
Although he didn’t necessarily say it, Lee Seong-min knew that that scene was also ‘important’.
What is it important for?
He killed Volander and fought with Kim Jong-hyun. Seongmin Lee understood why he became a monster.
He saw the whole scene from a third party’s point of view, and saw Kim Jong-hyun extend his finger toward him just before he was enveloped in light and disappeared.
“… … “Where did Kim Jong-hyun go?”
“Abel scraped together the remaining years of his life to unleash the magic of Gries. It is a magic that banishes the specified target out of space and time forever. Kim Jong-hyun could never enter Area again. Past, present, and future. “Kim Jong-hyun disappeared from all of Eria’s time zones.”
“then… … Abel… … ?”
“He died. Perhaps he died satisfied. “You would never have guessed that Kim Jong-hyun, who was about to be expelled, would pull off a trick like this.”
The owner of the voice said with a smile.
“No matter how much you long to remain human, this is something you cannot help. The magic of reversal is absolute. “It’s amazing that he has at least some personality left.”
“I am… … “What happens?”
“I will be floating around in this unconsciousness forever. That is, unless some variable intervenes. No matter how hard you try, it is impossible to break through your own unconsciousness. “You have already become a complete monster.”
“I can not understand.”
Seongmin Lee muttered in a low voice.
“Most of the youkai I saw maintained their senses. Rather, in some ways, it was more human than human… … .”
“Whoa, whoa. That’s too hasty to say. There are only a few youkai that you know. There are at most two youkai that have properly communicated with you. Heoju and Yana. Those two are the pinnacle of youkai. And, hahaha! They were more human than humans? That is also a hasty and arrogant statement. What do you know about Heoju? What do you know about Jana? Do you think that what they show you is everything about them?”
He laughed in a bitter tone, as if he was genuinely finding it funny.
“They were too kind to you. That’s why I was nice to you. If Heo Ju had been as extravagant and sometimes naive as he seemed to you, do you think he would have been called the Nightmare of the South 400 years ago? Do you think he even tried to join forces with the dragon to subdue Heoju?”
no. Heo Ju was not a good monster. These are just a few of the anecdotes I heard directly from Heo Ju.
He used to brag that he had caught and killed a dragon just because it flew through the sky of the forest that was his territory.
“What Yana showed you was respect and affection for the Heoju within you. Do you think Jana would have been so sweet if you had been a mere human being?”
no. Yana tried to subdue Lee Seong-min and turn him into a complete monster for the sake of Heo Joo.
“He was more human than human? What on earth does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be a monster? ha ha ha… … Yokai have almost no distinction between good and evil. For youkai, the most absolute standard that determines your actions is your own desires. “It’s like a human being who is faithful to his desires is treated like a taboo.”
Seongmin Lee stopped walking. In front of him, someone was sitting with their back turned.
“I know what you’re wondering. You, who have become a monster, have no reason. They just want to kill and eat everything they see. All I know how to say is yelling evil, evil. “Because they don’t have any thoughts, their movements are simple and they don’t know how to use their power properly.”
Why is that so?
“The reason is simple. As a youkai, your rationality does not exist at all. You, transformed into a monster, are nothing more than a mere vessel. “I will fill that empty space.”
“… … What are you… … What… … ?”
Seongmin Lee asked that with a trembling voice.
ha ha ha. Once again the man laughed.
He slowly turned around and looked at Lee Seong-min. He had no eyes or nose. Only his mouth remained on his empty white face, smiling.
“me?”
The man raised his hand and pointed at himself.
“I am a predator of slaughter.”
Haha. Hahahaha.
Amid Lee Seong-min’s astonishment, Slaughter Predation burst into laughter.
