SPMB - Chapter 254

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

Argon finally arrived at his destination.

"You succeeded, Argon."

"Yes."

Arzenian welcomed Argon with open arms. Argon placed a girl down in front of him.

"Aw, she's cute."

How can she be this adorable?

After losing Joo-hwa, Arzenian thought he would now have to fight fiercely to get Kanna... 

He never thought gifts would fall from the sky like this!

"Thank you, Alessandro. This is a gift from you."

"Hey, I brought her here?"

Arzenian ignoring Argon's words, stroked Lucy's cheek with a trembling hand. And he muttered.

"Lucy Addis."

The soft skin was lovely.

The blood flowing inside this would be even more lovely. It was a lovely bait that Alessandro threw to protect Kanna.

"Yes. You protect Kanna, and I get the sacrifice I want.... This is a win-win, right?"

Break down the walls between the worlds and merge the two worlds into one.

Alessandro can Love Kanna to his heart's content in this new world. There will be different rules and morals there than there are now.

Of course, if Arzenian fails, Alessandro will be destroyed.

It would be everyone's destruction, so it's fair, right?

"Thank you, Alessandro."

Arzenian gently placed his lips on the forehead of the unconscious girl. Then he slowly lifted his upper body. The eyes were extremely soft.

The next moment, Arzenian raised his dagger high in the sky.

He hit it down.

***

Raphael slowly opened his eyes.

"He's dead."

Kalen Addis is dead.

When he cut off Kanna's arm, fortunately, Kalen stopped himself. He chose self-destruction.

Raphael calmly watched the whole scene. Through the eyes of the World Tree.

Absolutely calm, without any questions. He didn't wonder how he could use the abilities of plants that had already disappeared. 

Enlightenment came as naturally as seeping into the water.

'I could not destroy the World Tree.'

It was his mistake to think that the World Tree had been eliminated. He probably wanted to believe that.

Yeah, it might be hard to accept. That it could not be eliminated.

'That day, I lost to the World Tree.'

Raphael walked slowly. At the end of those steps was a place filled with the smell of blood.

There was an Arzenian there.

Arzenian was crawling on the floor and drawing something on the ground. It was a magic circle so large that it filled a large garden.

"Bahaha."

At that time, Arzenian laughed out loud.

"Yes, I have sacrificed so much for this world, but now it is time for me to have fun too..."

Arzenian dipped his hand into the blood in the silver basin and pulled it out. A line is drawn with dripping, flowing blood.

There isn't much left now. Argenian's heart was beating rapidly.

The moment to break the walls of the world will soon come. When that time comes....!

"...!"

At that moment, Arzenian turned his head.

"... Raphael."

Arzenian swallowed a groan at the sight of the man standing behind him.

When did he arrive? 

Arzenian didn't even notice.

"What are you doing here, Raphael?"

"..."

"Are you really here to disturb me?"

Raphael glanced at the pattern he had drawn without answering. At that time, Arzenian noticed.

"You..."

Cold sweat formed on Argenian's spine. It was an instinctive fear. 

"The world tree sees you..."

"Yes."

Raphael quietly interrupted him.

"I was eaten."

He spoke slowly in a very slow voice.

"That's it."

The truth is, Raphael knew it from the beginning. That the World Tree cannot be eliminated.

"Can you get rid of the World Tree?"

But Kanna asked.

When he said no, he couldn't do it. He didn't want to say that.

Not wanting to lose the World Tree's abilities was an additional problem.

Wasn't he allowed to be by Kanna's side because he had been a perfect servant all this time? 

That's why he couldn't say he couldn't do it. He's afraid that if she finds out he's useless, Kanna will leave.

'I ended up getting eaten.'

Raphael, no, the world tree that ate Raphael groped his body.

Because they were devoured, they were combined into one.

"I have no intention of interfering. Please continue."

"..."

"Hurry."

Raphael, who had become the world tree, quietly ordered.

"Come on, break the walls of the world."

When the world's walls break, all kinds of foreign substances will pour into this world. The power of the other world was the stock that made the World Tree stronger.

However...

Part of him felt uncomfortable the whole time.

'What if Kanna gets angry?'

If she found out that he had failed to destroy the World Tree and were instead assimilated into one, would they still let him stay by her side?

Raphael lowered his head. Since when? 

His fingertips were trembling slightly.

He realized too late that he was terrified. It was a feeling he had never felt before.

The world tree did not like this feeling.

'What if she doesn't use me anymore?'

'Coward. What's so scary?'

'She doesn't even love me."

'She's just using you."

'I know. I want to be used.'

'I am defeated and useless.'

'I have become a world tree.'

Raphael knew. He knew that that woman could end him at any time. 

He raises his hand. He doesn't save to stick a knife in his heart or strangle him.

All it takes is a cold look or a cold word, and he will fall into complete abyss.

'What if she abandons me?'

Raphael was afraid of Kanna.

***

Kalen's body was found on the stairs leading to the top floor.

"I felt like he was being manipulated."

Kanna muttered with a pale face.

"It looks like you were ordered to kidnap me. Kallen seems to have resisted those instructions, and he probably got something in return..."

Kanna trailed off.

Orsini listened to the whole story without expression.

When he returned from breaking through the black gap, what greeted him was Kalen's corpse.

He can't believe Kalen is dead.

He can't believe it.

"This guy died like this?"

On the stairs, alone, shabby, without any glory or honor?

He looked down at his brother's body in despair. Then he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

'Death.' 

Orsini placed his hand on his chest.

He could feel his heart pounding. Until now, there had been an unanswered question lingering within him.

'I also experienced death.'

Wasn't it true that three years ago, he was tricked by Kanna's doll and had his entire body pierced?

Orsini remembered the cozy darkness that enveloped him at that moment.

It must have been death.

But how did he survive?

"I'm sorry."

At that time, Orsini turned his head at Kanna's words.

"What?"

He couldn't believe his ears. What did Kanna say just now?

"Sorry."

However, as if to drive a wedge, an apology is heard once again. It was a word he never expected to hear from Kanna.

"Sorry?"

He asked slowly.

"Why do you say that?"

Kanna couldn't answer right away. Isabelle was murdered, Lucy was kidnapped, and even Kalen was manipulated into choosing his own death.

'Maybe this is all because of me.' 

Lucy too. Isabelle too. Kalendo.

Maybe all these disasters were planned by Alessandro. 

Kanna had such a scary suspicion. So she couldn't bear it without apologizing.

"It's just that it's all because of me."

At that moment, Orsini grabbed her chin and lifted it up. He looked at her with his very fierce eyes.

"Aren't you going to come to your senses?"

"..."

"Don't act like a fool. It's not like you."

Is it?

Is she acting uncharacteristically because she's shocked?

'Oh, am I shocked?'

Well, otherwise she wouldn't have held onto that corpse and called Kalen's name three times.

Because Kalen always answered her call. Because she followed her to the point where it was really annoying.

So she thought he would answer this time too.

'Did you call me, Sister,' like this?

But he didn't answer.

Kalen, who ignores her. How strange it was.

When there was no answer, Orsini sighed and let go of her chin. He then glanced at her bandaged arm.

"Has the wound healed completely?"

"Huh."

Orsini, on the other hand, looked calm. There was not even an ounce of movement in his expression.

"Then continue to cooperate. Lucy may still be alive."

Because he was the head of Addis.

"If what you say is true, you will be murdered soon. So, as soon as possible, find that location..."

It was then. The door burst open with a knocking sound. 

"Your Excellency the Duke. Excuse me."

He was a butler. He came in quickly and said:

"He has come."

"Who is he?"

"That...."

Before Orsini could answer, the sound of footsteps followed immediately. And...

"Ha."

For a moment, Kanna's body froze.

This voice...

'No way.'

Kanna slowly moved her head. For some reason, the time it took for her to turn around felt extremely long. And finally, their eyes met.

He said with a dry face as always. 

"Looks like there's a problem."

It was Alessandro Addis.
