SPMB - Chapter 214

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Kanna looked down at him for a while.

Alessandro, who was drunk on drugs, looked so weak. He was not the big back she once feared.

It was an animal with a broken neck placed on a sacred altar. It was her life that was offered as an offering for her.

How sad that is... Is it affectionate?

Her heart became extremely heavy.

Kanna lowered her gaze. She saw letters scattered on his thighs.

<... In a future that remembers the same past...>

Kanna took a step back. One step, and then another step. She walked away until she could catch a glimpse of the man bathed in moonlight. And she had a premonition.

At this moment, the man she ruined. 

This scene.

She will never forget it until she dies.

***

Leaving Alessandro unconscious, Kanna went down to the lab.

'Let's go back now.'

Looked down at the Black Apostle and found out what curse was placed on him, but this was not the time.

Even walking outside the house was difficult for a young girl. There were so many shackles.

At least she must be past adulthood.

Kanna drew blood and drew a drinking line.

"Please...."

***

Kanna opened her eyes. It was a garden.

A spring garden with fluttering pink petals. This place was inside the roots of the World Tree.

"..."

Kanna looked down with devastated eyes.

As expected, Raphael's white bones were there, as expected. A man who died a long time ago, his flesh rotting away, and all that remains is his bones.

< Are you back? >

Her whole body lost all strength and Kanna fell to her knees.

"It's this time again."

It's because of the imperfect drinking method. Errors kept occurring.

"This is absolutely not the time."

Kanna looked at Raphael's skeletal body and turned her head because she felt like crying again.

***

So many attempts followed.

"Mites!"

"Oh, it's me. Why do you keep trying and losing?"

I went there even when I was around three years old.

< Are you back? >

Kanna also saw Raphael's white bones.

And when it finally came down to a plausible moment, she couldn't be happier.

"Where is my sister?"

Because of Kalen. Kalen, with his white hair hanging down to his shoulders, was pointing his sword at Raphael.

"Give me back my sister. Sister..."

Did he feel a presence at that moment? 

Kalen's head turned. Their eyes met. The sword fell from his hand.

"Sister... ?"

He came running to her a month later. Suddenly. He hugs her.

"Sister, sister, sister."

The smell of blood. Kanna frowned. The smell of blood was thick on his body as if he had killed just how many people.

"Put this aside."

Kanna grabbed his shoulder and pushed him.

And the next moment, he hurriedly kissed her. On the head, forehead, cheeks. It was as if a big dog was running up and licking her.

"Kalen, wait a minute!"

"Sister, you are my sister, right? Ah, as expected, you were alive, sister!"

“Kalen!”

It's crazy! The next moment, Kalen suddenly fell away.

"She doesn't want to. Please stop."

Raphael grabbed Kalen's shoulder and pulled him. Then Kalen's face distorted like a ghost. 

"As expected, you were hiding my sister. The great temple hides my sister..."

"Kalen, that's not it."

It's crazy, really. Kanna let out a sigh as she held her throbbing head. 

"Calm down and come here. Let's get out of here first. And Raphael..."

As soon as she made eye contact with Raphael, Kanna understood Kalen's feelings just a little.

She wanted to run right away and hug him. A living, breathing Raphael, not a white-skinned person.

But now was not the time to let go of those feelings

"Raphael, you've worked hard."

Raphael just lowered his head as usual.

***

And when Kanna went outside the roots of the World Tree, she saw hell.

"What the hell is this..."

It was full of corpses.

The priests and executioners of the main temple are lying dead. In the garden, in the hallway. There was blood everywhere.

"What have you done?"

Raphael's voice contained anger that she had never heard before.

Kalen didn't answer. It was a disaster for which he had no need to answer.

Kanna realized.

The Addis family attacked the Great Temple.

"Three years, sister."

Kalen smiled, showing his teeth. He looked so different from the last time Kanna saw him.

"It's been three years since the Great Hall imprisoned you. It should have been like this a long time ago."

"You..."

"It's not detention? Okay, it doesn't feel like confinement. But please don't tell the truth. Please fool me instead. I will trick you."

"No, not confinement."

"Ah, yes, of course. My sister really doesn't listen to me."

Kalen laughed out loud as if he wasn't surprised.

"They promised to come back in a week, but they stayed in hiding for three years. Haha, I really thought you were dead."

“Kalen.”

"Three years, three years. Sister, how do you think I felt at that time when even your life or death was uncertain?"

Kalen muttered frantically.

"I was a fool for trusting you. I was a fool for believing in you. I was wrong to fall for your fakery and believe your ridiculous lies."

Is it Kalen or Wren? 

Indistinguishable personalities mixed together. Goosebumps appeared on the back of her neck. She's not crazy.

"You are crazy."

Then a spark flew into Kalen's eyes. He giggled.

"Yes, so don't think about disappearing. Even if you die, even if it's hell, I'll follow you until the end."

"How long should I tolerate this?"

Raphael asked as soon as Kalen finished his crazy words. Kanna read the silently fluctuating anger in his eyes.

"I know he is your brother, but it will be difficult to keep him alive. Addis has gone too far."

"Raphael."

"Please allow it."

Not this.

This... No.

Her whole body became stiff. It felt as if even the tip of her tongue was frozen in shock.

"This is it." 

Even though they were one, it wasn't enough, so they became enemies and fought against each other.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, the spirit would have carried out its plan very easily.

Addis and the Great Temple went to war, and the fight continued until one side was destroyed. From here, destruction began.

Kanna bit her finger hard. She drew blood and painted her magic. 

"Sister, what are you doing?" 

When Kalen asked in surprise at the blood forming in the air, Kanna just sighed. 

"You're such a scary boy, Kalen."

Light burst out from the drinking circle.

After repeating this over and over again...

***

Kanna blinked.

'Now, where are we this time?'

This time too, it was a familiar place.

Inside the roots of the World Tree, there is now a garden where pink petals are fluttering, just to look at them.

Also, to the place where RaphaeI's white bones are...

No.

Kanna's face stiffened.

"Ah..."

There was a person there. A man with dark blue hair.

'Raphael.'

He was standing tall and looking up at the tree.

Just a tree. A tree full of peach blossoms, etc.

Kanna realized this while staring blankly at the back.

'That's what it was like.'

Raphael waited his whole life like that.

Feeling the blowing breeze, counting the fluttering flower petals, just like that.

Until his hair turns gray and he becomes an old man. Until he turns white and dies.

"Raph..."

But there was no need to call. Raphael slowly turned around. He spotted her and approached her.

It seemed like he was walking slowly, but in reality, he was right in front of her in the blink of an eye.

"Are you back?"

And he spoke in his own voice, not as a note left on a stone.

"How long has it been?"

"It's three months."

Kanna finally almost broke down with relief.

Thank God.

She's so glad.

Kanna suppressed her emotions and smiled weakly.

"I'm back, Raphael."

It had been three months since she first went back to the past.

'I was lucky. Really, I was lucky.'

Never again, will she ever carelessly jump through time. Kanna almost never could return to the original time in her life.

After leaving the roots of the World Tree with Raphael, Kanna heard the news.

First, it is said that Kalen came to visit. It must have been about a month since she went into the roots of the tree.

'I said I kicked him out at first.'

Kanna recalled the future she had seen.

Three years after Kanna's disappearance, Kalen had completely turned around and was a madman himself.

However, seeing as he returned calmly, it seemed like he was still sane.

Not yet.

'That Kalen guy was crazier than I could imagine."

She knew it, but she never thought it would be like this.

'He's the guy who threw himself from the spire, so there's nothing he can do'

Kanna decided that she would have to be more careful with him from now on.

And one more thing.

Orsini became the head of Addis.

He succeeded to the throne after Alessandro Addis.

'Then what about Alessandro?'

What happened?
