SPMB - Chapter 261

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"You must sacrifice the entire family of Addis. Not just you, but your children as well."

Alessandro frowned at Seon-hee's words.

"My child? What does that mean?"

"It means having a child."

"You're crazy. Are you asking me to become a stallion?"

"Huh."

But Seon-hee was adamant.

"Can't you?"

"..."

"No, you do anything. You saw me in the future, right? The future you had four children."

Seon-hee giggled mockingly.

"You are the one who will do anything to protect Kanna."

At those words, Alessandro realized.

"This isn't the first time."

Seon-hee accepted it obediently.

"Yes. This is not my first time collaborating with you."

He said something surprisingly shocking.

"I received your help several times even in the past that disappeared. In the end, they all failed."

"Then is there a reason why I should cooperate in the first place? If Kanna going to die no matter what you do!"

Seon-hee smiled faintly.

"It's different this time."

"What?"

"There was an accident last time. Something unexpected happened."

"What do you mean?"

"I will give you a very long life."

Alessandro frowned. 

What a long life. It was a difficult sentence to accept.

"It's the same alchemy that was used on you last time. But it didn't activate at the last moment...."

"What are you talking about? Please explain clearly."

"Before that, let me ask you one question."

Seon-hee stared at him blankly.

"How far can you go for that child?"

***

Alessandro finished reminiscing.

"I can do anything."

He stood up, muttering the answer he had given decades ago when he was young. He opened the window and looked up at the sky.

Black fog flows out from the split crack. However, seeing as the crack is not getting any bigger, it appears that Kanna blocked it.

He knows what it means.

Kanna's death is beginning.

"Do you want to change the future?"

"Yes."

"Then let me tell you. The only way to save that child."

Alessandro opened the door. On the bed, a young man with white hair was seen lying lifeless.

As Seon-hee said, he willingly lived the life of a stallion.

Shame too. Misery too. There is nothing that cannot be endured. He promised to save her, but why?

"So, are you saying that I will eventually kill my children as well? Is there no other way?"

Alexandro ran his fingertips through Kalen's pure white hair. He couldn't feel his life.

Kalen Addis.

His poor son who sacrificed himself. However...

"Hey, Alessandro. When did I tell you to kill me?"

Kalen is not going to die here.

"I said I would give you a long life, right?"

A faint light spread out from Alessandro's hand. It slowly seeped into Kalen's chest.

"The last moment, the time will come. Then share your life with your children and Kanna."

For this very moment, he has been given a long, long life.

At the last moment, to revive the dead.

"This is the accident from last time. Kanna, who believed this to be a curse, damaged part of this technique. So life was not passed on to those children. But don't worry. I made preparations to prevent Kanna from touching it this time."

"Really, it's a technique that I studied for a very long time by repeating time. Don't ask how long it took. Because you will pity me."

Alessandro doesn't sympathize.

So don't pity him either.

"...!"

The next moment, Kalen took a breath sightly.

"Sister!"

He shouted to Alessandro.

"Where is she?"

Is that what he says you do as soon as he comes back to life? 

Alessandro was so dumbfounded that he burst out laughing. 

"Go to where the World Tree is."

Kalen, without asking or questioning anything, storms out and leaves.

Looking at his back, Alessandro brought Isabelle back to life this time.

"Argon dog bastard!"

Isabelle spewed out two curses and stood up. She gasped and trembled with anger, but then her eyes met Alessandro's and she froze in shock.

"Oh, father?"

"Yes."

"What about that bastard, Argon?"

"..."

"I'm going to kill that bastard!"

"Follow me."

It was too late when he took Isabelle with him. Kalen had already plunged his sword into Argon. But somehow Argon was still alive.

Isabelle hurried over and held out her hand to Kalen.

"Give me the sword."

"What?"

"That bastard stabbed me. I can't forgive him. I will take my revenge!"

But Alessandro grabbed her arm. 

"Father?"

"For a moment."

Alessandro turned over Argon's dying body. He was a poor victim dominated by his brother's memories.

Argon vomited blood bubbles and grinned.

"Haha, that's my younger brother. Still can't eat carrots?"

"Argon."

"Why, once again, you know who I am."

"You are Argon Isaberg."

He said in a quiet voice.

"Largos Addis is dead. You are just an experiment created to break down the walls of the world."

The expression disappears from Argon's face. Slowly, slowly, the maniacal laughter dried up.

"But I don't pity you. After all, all the blood is on your own."

"Your life has been dominated by Largos. At least face the final moments as Argon Isaberg."

Argon smiled slightly at those words.

"You look like a reaper. A kind messenger."

That was the end of the conversation.

Alessandro got up and took a step back. Isabelle approached.

Argon looked into her burning eyes. Then he suddenly became curious.

His mother, why did Theresa become a black apostle? Why did she want to deny this world, even sacrificing her child?

How full of sad tragedies must his mother's life have been until that happened?

He should have asked at least once. He's sure his mother had her own story. Only after thinking like that did he realize. This is Argon's idea. 

That was funny, he said with a grin.

"Miss Isabelle, it would be a good idea to learn how to use a sword in earnest. It would be a waste to waste your talent, wouldn't it?" 

Those were Argon Isaberg's last words. He closed his eyes as he watched Isabelle slash her sword.

***

And Kalen found Orsini not far away.

"Older brother!"

Kalen approaches and turns Orsini.

A limp body as if dead. There is no movement.

"Brother, come to your senses!"

Alessandro looked at Orsini nervously.

He had already saved Orsini's life once before. So there is no second chance. No matter how much life he had, he was not omnipotent. He couldn't save the same person twice.

So, if Orsini dies again, there is no way to save him...

“Kannaaaa!”

Eyes flashing with a scream. For some reason, he covered his face with both arms and shouted.

"Damn it, I'm sorry! Throw the ball gently! it hurts! It's possible to kill someone with a ball....!"

"..."

He shouts loudly and then closes his mouth. Orsini looked around him as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Uh, uh, of course."

Orsini stood up, clearing his throat as if he was a little embarrassed. And he asked.

“Kanna?”

"I'm looking for my sister now. But it's a ball?”

"..."

Orsini kept his mouth shut. Isabelle tilted her head.

"Did you get hit with a ball by my sister in your dream?"

"Are you crazy? Don't talk nonsense."

But even his earlobes were red.

Orsini stood up. Although his entire body was covered with injuries, his monstrous body survived with ease.

"But aren't you dead?"

"..."

"..."

Kallen and Isabelle looked at each other.

Kalen didn't think about that because he was so busy coming here...

"Yes. How am I alive?"

Kallen placed his hand on his chest.

Yes. didn't he definitely die because his heart was destroyed?

But how is he alive?

"My father?"

At that time, Isabelle muttered.

"He was here a little while ago. Where has he been?"

***

The crack that splits the sky is slowly starting to heal. Kanna absorbed the power of the World Tree and created a black gap.

Alessandro walked after the wave of power.

On the way, he found Lucy. He passed on her life to that child and revived her.

"I'm so sorry. Do not forgive me."

After taking off the jacket and covering the child's body, he carefully placed her on a wooden beam. Then he walked away again.

There is no time to delay. He had to go to Kanna quickly.

As he takes one step at a time, Alessandro continues to hear the sound of things breaking inside. He probably heard this sound when Kanna unfolded the crack-fixing technique.

This sound is a bursting sound that is heard when the soul is broken.

If humans use too much power that they cannot handle, their souls will crack.

Moreover, if she uses it multiple times in succession like now, she will completely break into pieces. And so in the end...

"Alexandro, she is going to die.."

Alessandro continued walking.

"If you share your life, you can save your children and Kanna. But in return, your soul will be shattered into pieces and you will die."

"..."

"In the end, you will end up with nothing, is that okay?"

He knows.

Even if he sacrifices his entire life, the day when he can be happy with her will never come.

His relationship with that woman ended on that day in the past, then, at that moment, the moment he let go of her hand after waking up from poison.

Alessandro Addis' first love does not come true.

And he will disappear without a trace like a bubble.

It was a journey filled with only loss and wear and tear, but he did not hesitate. In return, Kanna will receive his life.

Alessandro wanted to give it to her, so Ilhe ran as hard as he could. Right now,  at this moment, towards his end.

Alessandro finally found Kanna. 

"Alex?"

She whispers as Alessandro approaches and cups her face.

"Sorry. Really sorry..."

And then the breathing stops immediately.

Alessandro poured the rest of his life into her.

As Kanna's heart began to beat again, Alessandro looked at Raphael this time. Surely a blind young man like this would make Kanna happy.

Alessandro reached out to RaphaeI's body. As he was given life, white light surrounded his body. The power of the World Tree has completely disappeared, so only Raphael will survive safely.

Done. 

This is it. 

The hurdle has been passed.

Now only one last step remains.

When Kanna opens her eyes, her world will be perfect. She didn't lose anyone.

Except for himself.

But if he were to say that he was just satisfied with this ending because he knew it was the best, would Kanna be angry?

Suddenly, what he said to Kanna came to mind.

"There is no ending where everyone is safe."

At the moment of ending, it was enough for him alone to not be safe.
