At that end, laughter coming from the flame stopped . The familiar who was looking at the flame turned her head to look at Lee Sungmin . She sighed and dragged down the robe she was wearing .
"A beastkin?"
Lee Sungmin muttered with his eyes wide open . It was because of the cat ears that popped out of her dark hair . Hearing Lee Sungmin's words, the familiar introduced herself with her amber eyes narrowed .
"I am Rubia . Under the command of my Master, I was waiting for you here . "
"Oh, is that so? That son of a bitch was waiting for him . If so, then he's the one who should come back . "
The flames laughed at Rubia's words . Every time the voice sounded out, the lights around it would flicker and glow brightly . Lee Sungmin looked at Rubia with a deep face and raised his finger to point to the flame .
"What is that?"
"Look at that undignified little bastard pointing his finger at me . "
The flame grumbled . His voice expressed strong discomfort, but he was all bark and no bite . However, the lights around him wavered greatly as if expressing his feelings .
"He's the remnant of a Great Yokai who's currently asleep in this forest . "
"A remnant... I'm not such a trivial being . Although I lost my body and remained conscious, I am not a remnant . "
The flame spat out . Lee Sungmin laughed at the word 'Yokai' . It wasn't his first time hearing such a thing . He had heard that monsters are sometimes called yokai in some areas . As far as Lee Sungmin knows, there was no significant difference between a monster and a yokai . In the end, neither of them was human, and both were monsters that ate humans .
"He was once the one who led the 100 Great Ghosts, but now he's lost his body . "
Lee Sungmin blinked as he listened to Rubia . The flames flashed unpleasantly, but did not protest . Lee Sungmin briefly alternated between Rubia and the flames and asked .
"So what the hell is it that you want to tell me?"
Lee Sungmin first looked at Rubia .
"I ask you this, but I know you can't give me the right answer . Only Envirus himself can answer, but you are not Envirus . "
"... that's... Yes . I've been waiting for you, but I can't answer your questions . "
"Where's Envirus?"
"I don't know where Master is . But if you come with me, my Master will come to us someday . "
Rubia replied like that in a confident tone . However, her answer did not satisfy Lee Sungmin . After all, Rubia didn't know Envirus' whereabouts . Rubia said, reading Lee Sungmin's expression .
"Master also promised us . 'Wherever I am, I will come back someday' . "
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure . "
Rubia nodded strongly . Lee Sungmin looked at the flames after hearing her answer .

"Who are you?"
"Heoju . "
"I am the one who came back from death . Why have you been waiting for me?"
"I do not know . "
Heoju replied in a dignified voice . In any case, his voice was so confident that Lee Sungmin was left speechless . Heoju added more words with a distant gaze .
