SPMB - Chapter 203
My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone
Alessandro opened his eyes.
Morning sunlight is pouring diagonally into the cave. Looking at the pure white stain of light, he realized.
'I survived.'
He slowly turned his head.
Right next to him, a woman with black hair was sleeping face down.
"Do not die."
"You can never die."
Incantatory whispers filled his mornings. Maybe that's why he still feels like he can hear that voice.
'What is this woman?'
Alessandro narrowed his eyes and glared at her face.
A woman who tried to kill him. But the woman who saved his life.
Although he was addicted to this woman's poison and was on the verge of death, he still remembered what had happened.
'Why didn't you hand me over to the Black Apostle?'
There would have been no more use for him. It would have been faster and safer for her to run away alone.
However, this woman flatly refused, as if she could not even imagine such a thing.
"There will be no handing this person over to you. So go back."
In the end, she ran away carrying him and was hit by an arrow.
When his thoughts reached that point, his eyes automatically turned to the woman's arm.
Her arms were tied with roughly torn pieces of shirt. For something she did alone, she stopped the bleeding at a high level.
'You dragged me with your arms like that?'
That thin one?
That wasn't the only unbelievable thing.
A silver forest shining pure white in the darkness, ice crystals broken like pearl powder, and black hair fluttering within them.
He has never seen such a beautiful and unrealistic sight in his life.
Alessandro's eyes became increasingly cold.
She is a suspicious woman. More than he thinks.
He was grateful that she protected him from the Black Apostles, but that didn't mean he completely trusted this woman.
'I'll have to take her to Addis.'
He needs to do a little more research in Addis. When he makes that decision...
"Ugh."
At that time, a moan escaped the woman's mouth.
"Hmm."
Then very slowly she lifted his eyelids.
Their eyes met.
***
After giving Alessandro the antidote, Kanna gritted her teeth and removed the arrow stuck in her forearm. Then, she made medicine using alchemy and healed her wounds to some extent.
Finally, after finishing everything, she fainted and fell asleep...
'So this must be a dream?'
When she opened her eyes, it was there.
The last place where they parted ways with Raphael. It was a beautiful garden with pink peach petals falling down from the sky, inside the roots of the World Tree.
'It's Raphael.'
Raphael's back was visible.
As he had sworn, he was guarding the entrance. Kanna walked closer to him.
No, did she get closer?
'Where am I?'
Kanna suddenly became curious and looked down, but she couldn't see the body.
'As expected, this must be a dream.'
It was then. The roots of the World Tree, the black entrance, trembled. Then a man walked in.
It was a man with pure white hair. The man held a huge long sword in both hands, blood dripping from Its sharp tip.
"Are you here?"
It was Kalen Addis.
"I searched everywhere and couldn't find you, but you were hiding in a place like this."
Kalen looked different than the last time Kanna saw him.
His hair, which was always neatly organized, was disheveled, and the length was quite long, reaching above his shoulders.
And above all, the eyes.
At this moment, Kalen's eyes were filled with only dark murder.
"Where is my sister?"
The crazy eyes that seemed to have lost half reason were not the Kalen Addis she knew.
"Tell me where she is."
Raphael slowly turns towards Kalen. Kalen continued.
"It's been a long time since you disappeared. And my sister's last destination was Great Hall."
It's been a while?
Those words were strange. It's only been a day since Kanna returned to the past, but has it been that long?
"I searched the main shrine like crazy, but my sister was nowhere to be found."
Another drop of blood fell from the tip of his sword. It shattered onto the lawn.
"It's not just Great Hall, nowhere. Sister, nowhere......."
Kanna suddenly became curious. Whose blood soaks that sword?
How did Kalen get to this place, the World Tree, which even priests dare not access?
"Tell me right now where she is. If you don't tell me, I'll kill you too."
But Raphael's eyes were calm. After a short silence, Kalen seemed to realize that he could not threaten his opponent.
"Yeah, it was a bluff. You were the last person to see my sister. It's the last clue, but there's no way I can kill you."
Clink!
He dropped his sword. A heavy despair settled on his sagging shoulders.
"Please, tell me where she is."
"..."
"Where did you evaporate without a trace, sister...?"
At that time, Kalen's eyes watered. Thick tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Is she still alive?"
***
"....!"
The moment Kanna opened her eyes, a bursting pressure pressed down on her neck. Her breath caught.
Kanna's eyes widened as the pain struck her like a thunderbolt. And saw Alessandro pressing down on her neck.
"What?"
Sigh, Kanna barely managed to swallow a handful of breath. That was it.
'What's this?'
Why is she lying in the middle of the forest, strangled by him?
Kanna struggled with all her might, but both wrists were held in one of Alessandro's hands and her feet were crushed by his legs, so she could not move.
"How long will it be like this?"
Then Alessandro spoke. It was a voice oppressed with anger.
"Do you still think you can kill me?"
'What are you talking about? You're the one trying to kill me now!'
The moment Kanna thought that a memory came flooding back. Memories of yesterday.
'Ah.'
Yesterday.
In this body, Seon-hee came back. Yesterday, Seon-hee came back into this body.
As expected, Seon-hee did not remember anything that happened while Kanna was possessed.
That's why Kanna was embarrassed and surprised by the sudden situation and was wary of Alessandro.
It was a natural reaction.
Her last memory was of the Great Temple, and suddenly she was in the forest with a strange man.
In the midst of all this, the Great Halla enforcers chased her down and she had to run away.
Seon-hee, who was confused about everything, showed aggression towards Alessandro, argued with him several times, and tried to kill him five times.
It was like that just a little while ago. While trying to use alchemy on him, she was overpowered!
"How should I become calm?"
Alessandro, who had been bullied all day, had a look of disgust in his eyes. Alessandro muttered, staring at her wrist in his grasp.
"I'd rather just cut it off."
That's not allowed!
At that time, Alessandro removed his hand from her neck.
"Cough!"
Only then did she feel like she could breathe freely. Kanna coughed, without any sense of excuse or persuasion.
And at that moment, she heard the sound of a buckle being released.
Kanna was startled and looked down. Alessandro was undoing his pants belt.
With one hand movement, he undid the buckle, grabbed it tightly, and pulled it roughly.
“Ah!”
He then tied her wrists mercilessly with a belt. Her scream came out as the pressure was so strong that it felt as if her bones would break.
"Oh, it hurts!"
"It hurts?"
Alessandro asked monotonously. Kanna nodded her head frantically.
Her wrist feels like it's going to fall off. Tears naturally formed. It was a physiological reaction..
"So?"
But whether she cried or not, Alessandro's hand did not stop for a moment.
"You were the one who started first. I have to deal with this."
There's something she did.
After adding briefly, he ignored her moans and bound her wrists without blinking. Then he withdrew from her body.
“Heo-eok. heo-eok.”
Kanna gasped. She really looks like she's going to die.
"That sucks."
Alessandro looked down at her and said sarcastically.
"Didn't you understand when I said that?"
She was a mess.
Tangled black hair, tearful eyes, red handprints on the nape of the neck, disheveled clothes, and even legs spread out limply. Everything was dirty with dirt and grass.
After appreciating the scene, Alessandro realized that he was in the same situation. He said, brushing the grass off his elbows.
"I should have clearly told you that if you do anything foolish again. I will tie you up."
When she failed in her fourth murder attempt, he warned her.
"If you try to kill me one more time. I will tie you up like I did in the main temple."
But Seon-hee did not give up. She thought that if she just killed Alessandro, she would finally be able to find the freedom she had longed for.
So Seon-hee tried to kill him. As many as five times.
'No. If you include the number of times I injected poison in Great Hall Prison, there are a total of six times.'
In other words, Alessandro had endured six murder attempts so far. Considering his personality, it was an incredible act of mercy.
'It's ruined.'
Cursing words were crushed in Kanna's mouth.
It was an opportunity to buy trust, but it was all gone. Seon-hee returned to this body and ruined everything!
'I was saved by being hit by an arrow at best, but what is this!'
But Kanna couldn't blame Seon-hee. Of course, she was panicking too. Besides, she's half-crazy right now.
How many more minutes did Kanna have to catch her breath like that?
After her breathing finally calmed down, Kanna lifted her waist with difficulty. She asked with a sad look on her face.
"Now I will be really quiet. So let me go."
"No."
"I've been living a difficult life so my mind goes back and forth. There are times when my aggression gets stronger, but I'm fine now,"
"As expected, you were a crazy woman."
Alessandro was convinced by that, but he did not understand.
"I need to tie you up because I don't know when you might lose your mind again and attack me."
Kanna cried out in frustration.
"Can't you see I hurt my arm? It still hurts!"
"So I tied your wrists, not your forearms."
After refusing mercilessly, Alessandro threw something in front of heг.
It was Seon-hee's diary. Records of pain are written to fill an entire volume.
"As expected, you can't be trusted"
A series of murder attempts strengthened Alessandro's distrust of her.
"I need to know what this record means, no, what this letter is."
"..."
"Don't think of fooling me. If you teach falsely, everything will be revealed in the process of interpretation."
Then he tapped her knee with the tip of his toe.
"Wake up. We'll be leaving right away."
"Where are you taking me?"
Kanna asked, half expecting it.
"To Addis."
Her head was pounding.
There is Largos, who is said to be obsessed with Seon-hee. Isn't he the brother of Alessandro, who later dies at the hands of Seon-hee?
'I didn't want to meet him.'
I'm getting lost in it. Everything is messed up. I don't even know who is who anymore.
ReplyDeleteSeon-hee was possessed by Kanna who enter the world tree. when Kanna (in Seon-hee) body collapsed because the wound in her forearm, she dreamed (i think she was not dreaming, but came back to her world where she lives in). And during that time, Seon-hee back to her body and attemped murder on Alessandro. When Seon-hee was knock off by Alessandro and pass out, Kanna back to Seon-hee body.
DeleteI'm getting confused too LOL.. So Kanna and Seon-hee was back and forth possessed in Seon-hee body
DeleteIt makes sense to me- she’s going back and forth between bodies and time is going by differently in the present then in the past- seon hee is crazy and doesn’t know what’s happening- if kanna could just tell Alessandro that this is what happened when she leaves her body it would make sense but she decided not to tell him that she is his daughter From the future that left and is back
ReplyDeleteyeeah, its super annoying. The only think she needs to do to make clear to him that she is swapping the bodies back and forth that's why she at times shows so much hostility. Then she just need to write in Korean what Alex needs to show her every time Seo-hoo re-enter the bodie. Its really pain in the ass to read this chapter
DeleteKanna did tell Alessandro that she was her daughter from the future when they met, but he didn't believe him. Sometime talking does not clear misunderstanding, specially when it might sound like non sense. Also, it is not like Kanna knew that she might be swapping bodies and that Seon Hee might get crazy and try to kill Alessandro at this point.
