SPMB - Side Story Chapter 10
My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone
No. No. That won't work.
Sylvien licked his dry lips. He controlled his impulses.
'Why do I think like that..."
Kanna is a competent alchemist.
It seems that the talent acquisition certificate has been exhausted.
'No. It's not worth fighting with Alexandre Addis.'
He eventually disappeared after dropping her off at Addis Mansion. The incident ended like that...
"I will kill you!"
"Remember me!"
"I will find you. Because I am the one who will kill you!"
For a while, she appeared like an afterimage.
It was such an intense moment.
But he was too busy to be caught up in momentary interest. For example, Raphael. Raphael, Raphael...
With Raphael's work.
***
"Your Excellency the Duke! That man!"
In the middle of the night, after hearing the servant's message Sylvien went to Raphael's bedroom. Raphael was lying face down on the bed, breathing heavily.
"Raphael, are you okay?"
For a moment, Sylvien paused. Rough sexual power fluctuates around him. But that holy power...
"It looks like a monster."
A chill ran down his spine. Sylvien has never seen such cruel and aggressive sexual power before.
"I will come closer. Do you understand? Do not attack."
Sylvien approached cautiously. He finally reached over and placed his hand on Raphael's back. As his holy power was injected, Raphael's breathing calmed.
"Sorry."
How long has it been like that?
Raphael muttered while lying face down.
"It was disgraceful."
"It can't be. Are you having a nightmare?"
"Yeah."
Raphael nodded.
"I had a dream about when I was in the Great God Hall."
"Is that so?"
"I devoured many priests there."
Sylvien was surprised but listened to his words with a calm expression. It was Raphael's first time telling his story.
"Like you ate soap?"
"No."
Raphael looked up at Sylvien with wide eyes. Then, without warning, he grabbed his wrist.
"Hold it like this."
And he mumbled like he was dreaming.
"If I just suck it in... Vitality and sexual power...."
At that moment, Sylvien realized Iike a thunderbolt.
He let his guard down. Like so many losers who died because they were caught off guard.
"Is that so?"
However, Sylvien calmly responded with a smile.
"Do you want to eat me too?"
At those words, Raphael's eyes sparkled like those of an animal.
"Yes."
Wow. Raphael's grip tightened. He muttered.
"I'm sure it will be very delicious."
Sylvien's eyes grew cold.
He tried to keep Raphael by his side because he thought he might be useful someday, but not at the risk of his life.
"But that's enough."
The next moment, his body temperature dropped like a lie.
"That's something worth dying for."
Raphael covered his face with his hands.
"Go, Sylvien."
"..."
"I'm so hungry right now. But I don't want to live like that anymore. I will endure it."
"..."
"But you look so delicious. So get out before I eat you up."
This is his first time hearing this guy talk for such a long time.
'It looks like you're really holding back quite a bit.'
Raphael's unique appetite was both surprising and funny...
"Raphael, you seem to be mistaken."
Sylvien grabbed Raphael's fingers covering his face. He lifted it up. Then his purple eyes stained with hunger were revealed. The face looked like a dragon that had starved for a thousand years.
"I am."
Sylvien smiled brightly.
"It's not something you can eat whenever you want."
Then he grabbed Raphael's neck. His sexual power exploded.
"...!"
Raphael's eyes opened wide. Instinctively, he quickly increases his strength to fight back.
But it was too late. The damage will be significant.
Sylvien looked down at the scene without emotion and poured out his strength.
He has no intention of killing him, though.
"Is not it. Maybe I'm going to die."
Sylvien laughed heartily.
If that's the case, then die.
If he's going to die this easily, it doesn't matter if he dies now.
How long has it been like that?
SyIvien slowly regained his strength, as if folding his spread wings. The light that filled the room faded. And Raphael...
"You're alive."
Raphael, who was looking up at Sylvien blankly, muttered.
"I just thought I was going to die."
"Is that so?"
"I'd have to risk my life to eat you."
"I guess so, right?"
"Then tell me what to do."
What. What is this reaction?
"Please let me know that coveting your sacred power is useless."
Raphael slowly raises his back.
"I'm tired of having my mouth licked behind my back."
Lid after layer, a violent savagery was revealed on his face, as if the pharyngeal membrane that had been hiding him was being torn away.
"Is that so?"
If it's something you have to go through someday. It's better to do it now.
"Follow me. There are a lot of people here. Let's go to the hunting ground behind the mansion, and...
Sylvien smiled and raised his finger.
"Don't sulk later."
***
By evening the next day, most of Valentino's hunting grounds had been destroyed.
Sylvien also collapsed almost exhausted at the end. Luckily, so did his opponent.
"I see."
Raphael admitted as he ran his palm over his bloodied face.
"I gave up. You can't eat. It's not edible."
"Well thought out, Sir."
Ugh. Sylvien frowned. His mouth had exploded.
"It's more rubbish than I thought. You've been throwing priests as food all this time."
"I'm the same as I've eaten."
"You don't know, so you took it in stride. It's obvious even if you don't look at it."
"The result is the same. I deserve to die."
"That's why it's important. From now on, you just have to eat the right thing."
Nodding, Sylvien groaned and straightened up.
"Let's go. When I go back, I will bring you a good cup of the for a good night's sleep. Have a drink and get a good night's sleep."
"What if I have another nightmare?"
"I'm here, aren't I? Don't worry. I'm going to wake you up."
It was a thoughtless statement.
But Raphael fell silent. He looked up at Sylvien. His face was just like a gentle lamb.
"You're such a nice guy."
"..."
Sylvien laughed.
Could it be that this guy is the type who is weak to sweet words? Anyway, he's surprisingly naive.
Raphael asked.
"Have you ever had nightmares?"
Just like that? It was a very casual question.
But Sylvien answered faithfully.
"Yes, very sometimes."
"What kind of dream?
"A sinking dream."
"Sinking? Where?"
"Down the lake."
"Why is that a nightmare? Can't you swim?"
What the hell, this guy. Why is he so interested in him all of a sudden?
Becoming annoyed, Sylvien replied falsely.
"Yes, I can't."
***
Sometime after that, Sylvien obtained some information. It was information about the Eastern Continent that he had been pursuing all along.
"The destination is Cretia Island. I've heard information about the Eastern Continent, so I'm thinking of going. Would you like to go with me?"
"Good."
He was satisfied to see Raphael nodding his head obediently.
That day, after correcting his bad eating habits, Raphael seemed to open up. He obediently agreed to whatever Sylvien said.
'Is this what it feels like to tame a wild animal?'
Sylvien boarded the ship for the first time in a very long time. He was looking at the sea from the deck when Raphael approached him.
"Your complexion doesn't look good."
"Me?"
"Yes. Isn't that bad?"
"It must be an illusion."
"That's it."
When Raphael turned around, Sylvien let out a low breath.
'How did know?'
In any case, although he lacks common sense, his ability to observe is considerable.
Raphael's senses were almost animal-like, and he often noticed things that others would never know. Like right now.
It's been three days since he boarded the ship. Sylvien was having nightmares the whole time.
A dream of sinking beneath a cold ice lake.
***
"It's a storm!"
And on the fourth day.
"What are you doing! Hurry up and drop the anchor!"
"Turn the bow to starboard!"
An unexpected storm hit the ship. The captain and crew did their best to control the ship, but...
"Oh my God..."
There was nothing he could do in the face of a huge tsunami.
"Everyone hold on tight!"
Waves as high as a castle wall swallowed the ship. And then everything fell apart.
. . . I'd ship it. Lol.
ReplyDeleteFor real though, it's almost weird to see Sylvien actually have personality.
