SPMB - Chapter 95

My Body has Been Possessed By Someone

While having dinner with Rachel's father and the high priest.

Bang! 

The door burst open without warning. Everyone stopped eating and turned their heads.

“Lord Orsini?”

A wet man ambled in. Rainwater dripped down along its path. The man roughly threw something he was holding onto the table.

Clink! 

Food and utensils were swept to the floor. The monster thrown by Orsini rolled right in front of Rachel.

“Aaaah!”

Rachel let out a scream. It was the monster's neck!

"What on earth are you doing, Lord Orsini?"

The high priest finally came to his senses and shouted. Orsini laughed sarcastically.

"Don't you know it when you see it? It's a monster's head."

"What rudeness! How dare..."

"Something is different."

Orsini interrupted the high priest. 

"I've cut off the heads of monsters tens of thousands of times, but this is the first time I've seen them look like this."

"What on earth is that!"

"The same goes for the Black Fog. It's different than before. I come and go too much." 

Orsini stroked his rain-soaked hair.

"In the meantime, the Black Fog appeared in one area, occupied it for a certain period of time, and then disappeared."

Green eyes with twisted feelings were revealed.

"The Black Fog here strikes and disappears like lightning. Because it was so unpredictable, a lot of articles got infected."

Orsini's voice became increasingly harsh as he continued speaking. His anger was directed at the high priest.

"But are you leisurely eating fish, High Priest?"

"Be careful what you say! As the Lord said, I am a high priest. There is no reason to listen to such frivolous words..."

Bang! 

Orsini slammed both palms on the table. And he bowed his body towards the high priest.

 "You should stop doing such frivolous things."

The high priest hiccuped.

 "A Black Fog has appeared, and all a person with holy powers, even a high priest, can do is sit back and eat trout flesh?"

The high priest's cheeks, which were feeling intimidated, trembled. 

"Is there anyone outside? Bring the Lord out right now!"

Then the door suddenly opened and the knights came rushing in.

"Bring Lord Orsini out right now!"

The words of the high priest giving orders became blurred. The knights who came in were knights from the Addis family.

"Ah, did you call the Lord's knights?" 

Orsini scoffed.

"No matter how much you call them, they won't hear you. They prevented me from going inside and helped me get some rest." 

As he spoke teasingly, the high priest's face turned pale.

"You love to eat." 

Orsini looked with disgust at the plates piled next to the high priest.

"Me too. I'm especially crazy about alcohol. They say the rye wine from Palen Island is so delicious, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to lick a drop of it yet. It's all because of the damn Black Fog."

"This... Like a thug...!"

In an instant, the sneer disappeared from his lips. 

"Yeah, even a gangster like me knows what's more important. But what about you?"

"..."

"If you had gotten your ass up, some of the knights who died today would have been alive."

"How dare you attack me now!"

"What are you?"

Orsini raised his bent body. He sneered, looking down at the high priest in his shadow.

"The little pig hid behind the trout because he was afraid of the Black Fog."

"You!"

It was then. The shadows of knights stretched across the marble floor. Rachel saw the shadow wriggle.

"...!"

But the next moment, she realized it wasn't a shadow. It was a Black Fog.

A black haze rose up at an incredibly fast speed and engulfed the knights in one go!

"It's Black Fog!"

"Attack!"

However, those who were first swallowed were already unable to respond.

“K, keaaaaak!”

“Aaaah!”

Five people. A tearing scream rang out from within the Black Fog that swallowed the five knights. But it was terminal.

After a few seconds, the screaming stopped.

"...!"

The hall suddenly became quiet. The knights stood close to the wall and raised their swords. Even though the screams had stopped, their eyes were tense, as if the nightmare was just beginning.

The high priest, who was shaking with fear, barely managed to get his voice out.

"What is this..."

At that time, the Black Fog dispersed at once.

"..."

The knights who had been swallowed up by the fog remained where they were. They were fine as if nothing had happened.

Just a moment ago, they looked so clean that it was hard to believe that they had been swallowed by the Black Fog and that they had let out a terrible scream.

"Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

However, the voice flowing from their lips was bizarre. Then, very slowly, with a squeak, they raised their head like a broken doll

"..."

Rachel almost screamed. Black color. The knights' eyes were dyed black!

Not only that, but his hair was also slowly turning black from the top of his head. Moreover, the eyes were bright red and bloodshot. Saliva like a hungry animal dripped from its open mouth.

“Krr, krrrr.......”

Then Orsini approached them.

Then the infected knights glared at him at the same time. He jumped up and ran like an animal. Although it was an incredible leap forward, he couldn't believe he was human.

“Khaak!”

Rachel, who was hiding under the table, did not get a detailed look at how Orsini swung the sword. She only witnessed the bodies of three knights being torn apart with a single swing of the sword.

Tuk. 

When the infected person's head fell, silence fell once again in th e hall.

Orsini said, looking back at the other knights.

"Recover the body. And..."

At that moment, Orsini's eyes opened wide.

He shouted. 

"Damage!"

Next moment. Black fog exploded everywhere. It swallowed up all the knights in the hall.

***

"It was an instant."

Rachel spoke quietly.

"I didn't have time to do anything that was accurate. A Black Fog spread as if struck by lightning. It swallowed up all the knights."

The day when the knights of Addis were infected by the Black Fog, Orsini had to slaughter them all alone.

"Orsini, you have done a sacred deed."

Those who touch the Black Fog become infected. His spirit breaks down and he turns into a monster possessed by malice and murderous in the tent. 

"They all ascended and found peace in your hands." 

It was only then that Kanna realized why Orsini was not as energetic as usual.

The knights of Addis were Orsini's colleagues and subordinates who had shared hardships with him for almost his entire life. 

Like Sir Claude, who is listening to this story behind her back.

"Because of that, the antagonism with the high priest intensified. Even then, the High Priest... Because he didn't do anything. He must have been able to weaken the power of the Black Fog with his holy power."

'So you got slapped.'

For the first time, she sympathized with Orsini's violence. 

"The rain has stopped."

Before Kanna knew it, the rain outside the window had subsided.

"Shall we go now?"

Not long after starting to walk through the village, Kanna witnessed a strange phenomenon.

"I am a sky!"

A middle-aged man was running down the street laughing.

"Ahahaha! I'm excited, I'm so excited!"

A woman danced in a rye field, holding onto a scarecrow.

"I am a fish! I will swim to the end of the ocean!" 

A young boy was swimming in the mud.

The more Kanna walked and looked around the village, the more she discovered residents behaving strangely here and there.

This was the madness of Palen Island that she had only heard about. 

'It's true. Everyone seems to be going crazy as a group.'

But Rachel smiled serenely even after seeing all the antics.

"Are you surprised, Senator?" 

Rachel said quietly as she looked at the girl who climbed the tree claiming to be a monkey.

"But it's not surprising to me. This has been happening on the island for a very long time."

"..."

"During this period, horse activity becomes particularly active."

"By this time, you mean the rainy season?"

"Yes. In the meantime, everyone in the village took turns being possessed by the devil at least once. Except me."

Rachel said as she carefully walked through the rain-soaked dirt. 

"So I realized. I am a very special person on this island.

Everyone has been taken over by a ghost at least once. Even her father said that he suffered from mania once in his childhood.

But Rachel is different.

Only herself.

Therefore, only she can save this island.

"She is a Saintess!"

At that time, normal village people saw Rachel and came running.
