SPMB - Chapter 211

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Fourteen-year-old Kanna was timid and gentle, but the moment she decided to run away from home, she became harsh.

So she abused alchemy for the first time. She secretly escaped from the mansion by using a drug on the gatekeeper who temporarily lost consciousness.

It was different from the scent of sleep. Instead of falling asleep, he just stood there and blinked with his eyes open.

Therefore, even when he regained consciousness, he did not know what had happened. Just something a little strange? He just thinks about it.

'I was really nice when I was young. If I had been using something like this a long time ago, I wouldn't have suffered.'

As she was heading towards the slums, Kanna suddenly remembered Alessandro's warning.

The saying that alchemy should not be shown to others.

Now she thinks she knows why.

'The more I do this, the more the Black Apostles will want my blood.'

Kanna sighed.

'Let me explain in detail from the beginning.'

Well, isn't that a bit much?

It was something very difficult to explain. Now that she found out the truth, she couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach.

***

After a while, she arrived at the slums. It was empty.

'Why is there no one?'

Suddenly, Sylvien's words passed by.

"That boy. Son of Arzenian."

"I roughly figured out the location. It will only be a matter of time before we find out."

Could it be that Sylvien has already snatched it away?

'Then when and where are you meeting me?'

Kanna looked through the slums. But no matter how much she walks around, all she sees are a few baby rats. Originally, this alley and that alley would have been full of poor people.

'I brought a lot of food with me.'

At this time, she was full of compassion and would distribute food to the poor.

So, Kanna brought it with her today as well, but she guessed it was a pointless effort...

"..."

Kanna's steps stopped.

At the end of a narrow alley, next to a nearly collapsed building.

She found him there...

He was sitting with his head down, leaning against the dirty wall...

He looked like trash. The trash she throws away herself. 

"Are you saying you don't want to go to the end?"

And there was a man in front of him.

"Even if you die, you cannot escape the Great Temple." 

He's a bailiff!

Kanna hurriedly looked at Raphael. He didn't seem to have any intention of resisting.

"Yes, you would rather die, good night. Then I will punish you here."

The executioner raised his sword. It was neither a joke nor a threat. To live young at the point of a sword, is sincere. He'll hit it straight for Raphael's neck......!

"Hey!"

The bailiff looks back in surprise.

"Who are you!"

The next moment, a huge pillar of fire pierced through the executioner's ship. 

Dump. He died without even being able to scream.

'Damn it.'

Kanna gasped. Her fingertips tingled as her blood dripped. No matter how many times she did it, she never got used to it, but she couldn't let Rafael die.

"Are you okay?"

Kanna approached Raphael.

"Hey?"

There is no answer. Even though she's right in front of him, he doesn't even flinch.

He didn't seem to care about the executioner's death either.

"I think you're hurt a lot... If you do that, you might die."

"..."

"You look like you're hurt a lot, so I'll treat you."

Kanna carefully sat down next to him. She then took his arm and rolled up his shirt sleeve.

"Ugh..."

The wound was huge.

'Why is Raphael always like this?"

He should be able to easily subdue at least one executioner. It looks like he didn't even resist.

'Stupid idiot. So that's how he died.'

So in vain, he stayed in one place his whole life, waiting for a woman who would never return.

He waited and waited, and waited even when he became a skeleton...

<Are you back?>

Suddenly Kanna's eyes became red.

Kanna sniffed and tended to his wounds. When she lifted her head, wrapping the bandage one last time.

"...!"

Since when has he been watching?

Blank purple eyes were staring at her.

For a moment, Kanna was speechless.

The boy in front of her looked like a blackened rose. The eyes were in despair at the black flower petals and longed for them to be broken.

A face tortured by sin.

Kanna was completely overwhelmed by the excruciating pain.

Then he whispered in a cracked voice.

"Go."

"...Uh?"

"Go away."

Go? Is it okay to say that she can do it at best? 

Kanna swallowed her surprise and responded coldly.

"Can't you see you're being treated right now? If you're going to say something weird, just keep your mouth shut."

The boy obeyed her. In other words, he shut his mouth.

'As expected, Raphael. You listen well.'

After wrapping up the bandages, Kanna took out bread and milk from her bag.

"Now, eat. It looks like you starved for a few days....."

The next moment, his grip flashed like lightning. He grabbed her by the neck and slammed her into the wall.

"...!"

Kanna's back hit hard. But perhaps because she was so surprised, it didn't even hurt. Raphael is strangling her!

"Go away."

The boy's large hand grasped the girl's thin neck. He muttered with a face like thin paper, ready to tear at any moment.

"Don't come near me."

"..."

"Don't touch me. Don't treat me."

"..."

The end of his words became blurred. His purple eyes trembled slightly, then sank like a deep swamp.

How long has it been like that?

The strength disappeared from his hands. He leans against the wall again.

"Cough, cough."

Kanna coughed lightly and stroked her neck.

'What, you have a temper.'

Kanna sighed. She then pushed her bangs completely behind her, covering her eyes.

"..."

Raphael's eyes hardened in shock. He seemed to recognize at a glance that she was Arzenian's daughter.

'Well, I can't recognize it.'

As if nothing had happened. Kanna smiled and offered the milk.

"Drink. This milk is very delicious."

There is no answer. However, he did not attack like before.

"How many days have you been starving? And then you really die."

This wasn't a joke. His condition was very bad now.

While treating the arm, the pulse was checked faster than normal and the body temperature was extremely high.

Looking at his bare lips and unfocused eyes, it was clear that he was suffering from severe dehydration.

'You clearly haven't drank a drop of water in a long time.'

Most people would have died long ago from dehydration or would be on the brink of death.

"Are you really going to die? At best... You went to the extent of murder to save someone's life?"

He glanced at the executioner's corpse, but Raphael remained unmoved.

'Who do you think you would let die?'

But there's no way persuasion wilI work now.

Kanna shrugged and poured milk into her mouth. She then pulled Raphael by the collar and kissed his lips.

Raphael's eyes widened. Kanna stared at him with those violet eyes up close, glaring, and pressed his lips together.

The next moment, his throat throbbed loudly. He swallowed milk.

Only then did Kanna remove her face. She grinned.

"Yiu'll survive a few more days with this. Should I say sorry?"

At a loss for words, a stream of white liquid flowed down his straight chin.

"Drink more to prolong your life."

"..."

"Or are I going to feed you this time too?"

"..."

"If you don't like it, say it."

No reaction. So Kanna put the milk in her mouth again. She grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and pulled him towards her.

Although it was a weak force, Raphael was easily led. He was so helpless that he felt obedient.

And then the flesh met.

Kanna saw his eyelashes twitch briefly.

This time, she wrapped it tightly to prevent it from leaking out and scraped every last drop into him.

Gulp, gulp, gulp. 

A swallowing sound echoed through his throat.

He slowly lowered her head. He lowered his eyes. His lips were wet with an opaque liquid.

"It's not a good idea to die for the time being."

"..."

"Would you like some bread?"

Raphael couldn't do anything about her anymore. He couldn't spit out his harsh words, and he couldn't strangle her.

'Is it because I is the daughter of a divine spirit?'

And maybe... 

'Because we could be blood relatives.'

Let's not even think about that possibility. Kanna rubbed the goosebumps that were rising again.

'Anyway. I'm sure I have a weak heart.'

So, let's condone Kanna's actions now, and... He must be wishing for death 

Now that Kanna has Seon-hee's memories, she has figured out why Raphael is trying to die.

Raphael and the spirits were beings created through alchemy. The ingredients are life and sacred power. It is a being created by absorbing the lives and holy powers of numerous priests.

Raphael seemed to feel disgusted with himself.

'I don't know Raphael very well. but I can be sure of this much.'

Raphael does not want a life for himself.

What he needed wasn't even kind words or a warm smile. Only the command of the Absolute is needed. Therefore, a priest who lost a God to serve needed a new absolute.

'And I heard you're picky when it comes to choosing a partner."

If he were to be subordinated to anyone, he would have stayed in the great temple and lived according to the will of the Gods, but he refused.

But Kanna knows. Raphael's new God is herself.

The reason is... Honestly, she doesn't know.

'Because she's the daughter of a divine spirit?'

If that were the reason, he would have followed the Gods from the beginning.

'It can't possibly be love.'

Or lust?

'No. Even though I was naked in the cave, nothing happened.'

Raphael is a monk-like person who has no desire at all.

'Well, only Raphael knows the reason.'

What is clear is that he will choose her. So there was only one thing she had to do. The first thing to do is hold out her hand.

"The introduction was late, right? My name is Kanna. Do you want to die?"

He nodded slowly.

"Then die."

Kanna spoke kindly and wiped the milk droplets from his lips.

"But you can die at any time, right?"

"You were going to die a little while ago anyway. I saved your life, therefore.."

Kanna smiled brightly.

"Give me your life."

Raphael looked at Kanna blankly and then lowered his gaze.

The opaque liquid that had been stolen from his lips was deposited on the tips of her fingers.

Suddenly, he licked his wet lower lip with the tip of his tongue. As if he was thirsty again.

"Then you..."

Raphael finally opened his mouth.

"What are you going to give me?"
