“Anasis?”
Out of the blue? Suddenly?
Abel's question, that he did not know and could not understand it, seemed to represent the group's reaction.
No one in this world does not know the necromancer Anasis.
But why does the story of Anasis come up here?
She is someone who has never been mentioned in the entire time Simone has stayed in this mansion, so she has no connection to it.
Simone silently extended her hand to Louis.
Louis gave Simone the letter he had brought from the Illeston family and explained it to the group at the same time.
“I delivered Lady Simone’s letter to the Grand Duke of Illeston yesterday, reporting on the suspicious nature of this family.”
"It did."
“You brought the food too, Wren.”
“The content of the letter was a request to investigate all those involved in the external activities of the Viscount Delang.”
Simone had noticed something odd about Viscount Delang early on, and she passed the matter on to the Grand Duke of Illeston, who could not investigate it within the mansion.
Normally, Simone rarely asks the Grand Duke of Illeston for direct help once the curse-lifting begins.
Since she sent an errand boy while on a field trip, it seems that the Grand Duke of Illeston took this as a serious matter and quickly looked into it.
“The servant who came to deliver today’s meal gave it to me. It seems he looked into it together with the Marquis of Barrington.”
Simone unfolded the letter and quickly skimmed through it.
[Since he visited the Occult Society, Viscount Delang has not engaged in any external activities other than going to school for classes.
The Marquis of Barrington, who was suspicious of the activities of Viscount Delang, asked his informant for information about the Occult Society, which he said was engaged in important work recently and held secret meetings every night.
The source also said that they have been seeing an increase in mentions of the giant recently.
If a more detailed investigation is required, please contact Wren.]
“God, the notebook that the Dark Wizard left behind has the word ‘God Anasis’ written on it. That means that somewhere, there are people who call Anasis a ‘God.’”
“...”
“And there’s this pattern where you give someone a jewel and they go crazy. Haven’t you seen that somewhere?”
Louis muttered softly in response to her question.
“The Saint’s Desire.”
Simone nodded. The Saint's Desire has a legend that Anasis sent a jewel to the Saint, causing her to go mad and love only jewels.
There was quite a bit of similarity between that and the fact that Viscount Delang went mad after receiving the jewel.
"Hmm."
A great figure that the Occult Society would be willing to make such sacrifices to summon.
Red eyes that shine even in black and white.
Before receiving this letter, Simone simply assumed that the person was Anasis, but now she can be sure.
The Occult Society seeks to resurrect Anasis.
To summon Anasis, everyone in the mansion was sacrificed.
“Anasis, who was summoned in this way, summoned the spirits of the dead Viscount Delang and his servants with a certain intention and reenacted a certain moment before his death.”
“...What do you think is the reason?”
Orkan, who had seemed to understand everything so far, expressed doubt for the first time.
He understand that the Occult Society attempted to summon Anasis and succeeded.
But why? Why did the resurrected Anasis have to resurrect Viscount Delang and his servants, causing them to suffer through strange phenomena?
Simone was able to answer this question surprisingly easily.
“To call me here.”
“You mean... Simone?”
"Yes."
Simone nodded indifferently as if to say that it was true to the group who were looking at her as if they were wondering what she was talking about out of the blue.
'I never thought that would happen.'
It felt like a superstar who was popular not only in Korea but also globally suddenly ran over to see her sitting in the corner of her room making dalgona.
Simone also initially doubted why Anasis had summoned the Viscount Delang back, but when she recalled what the strange woman, presumed to be Anasis, had said earlier, she was almost certain.
You're finally here.
It's just a shame that I can't have your body now and disappear.
Anasis had been waiting for this show to lure Simone into the mansion.
Because?
“Because they need a vessel to contain her summoned soul.”
Anasis was summoned by the Occult Society.
However, the summoning was incomplete, as there was no vessel to contain Anasis' soul.
Besides, it wasn't easy to find a body that could contain a soul as big as Anasis.
The Occult Society, wondering if there was a vessel that could contain her soul, recalls the young necromancer they had recently tried to bring back from an orphanage but failed.
Yeah, let's sacrifice that necromancer to our God.
Anasis was happy to take possession of Simone's body and summoned the Viscount Delang and his servants.
And they were made to act out a moment before they died without even knowing it.
And it creates another strange phenomenon within the mansion.
'Knock knock. Knock knock. I hear a noise from the next room that shouldn't be there, and red eyes are staring at me!'
Feeling uneasy, the Viscount Delang shared this with the Marquis of Barrington, who then relayed it to Simone in the form of a request.
“So that’s why the servants kept repeating the same actions.”
Orkan nodded, finally understanding.
"That's right."
“But why did you bring in Simone already, even though it wasn’t a complete summons?”
“It would take a long time to explain that, so I’ll tell you later. Anyway, in a nutshell, this situation is-”
What about this situation?
The group focused on Simone's words.
Simone summed up the situation in one word.
“We’re trapped. That’s what it is. So get out!”
"...Uh?"
"Oh!"
“...Yes?”
Simone kicked open the door and started running.
What is this? Louis and Abel, who had been staring blankly into space at her sudden behavior, came to their senses belatedly and hurried to the room where they were staying.
An incident involving Anasis.
Moreover, if the situation was such that they were targeting Simone by accident and by creating a situation, it would be quite a difficult reality for the current group.
That would be the case, not only because they didn't have the skills to defeat her, but because they had only come for a light reconnaissance and hadn't prepared much for battle.
They barely managed to pack their bags and followed Simone out of the mansion.
“Hey, can I just go like this?”
“Then what should I do? How do I win a fight with Anasis?”
It was a show created as a trap anyway. If Simone leaves the mansion, the Viscount Delang and his servants, and the strange phenomenon artificially created by Anasis will naturally disappear.
The only good thing is that when they confronted Anasis, she seemed very unstable and said that she would soon disappear as she could not be fully summoned without sacrificing dozens of humans.
However, they were not the kind of people who would easily let go of their prey once it had set foot on their territory.
As evidence, there, behind them, a group of servants with their eyes wide open were approaching at high speed like zombies.
“Eww!”
“This is crazy! What do I do?”
“What can I do? I have to run harder!”
“Ugh, ugh, I, I’m at my limit now.”
Boom! Boom!
Out of the blue? Suddenly?
Abel's question, that he did not know and could not understand it, seemed to represent the group's reaction.
No one in this world does not know the necromancer Anasis.

“Eww!”
“This is crazy! What do I do?”
“What can I do? I have to run harder!”
“Ugh, ugh, I, I’m at my limit now.”
Boom! Boom!
Abel went ahead, kicking away all the obstacles that stood in his way, and Bianchi ran with Orkan, the archmage, on her back, looking pitifully at his weak stamina and slow running.
“So you told me to do some exercise?”
“Yes, what do you know! I’m busy with my research. Do you understand?”
“I don’t understand, kid! Go exercise!”
Even in the midst of all this, the bickering is exactly like the main characters.
Ugh... Ugh...
'Wow, I'm starting to feel tired too.'
Simone felt herself falling behind and growing further apart from her companions, so she glanced behind her.
Crackle- Crackle-
As the servants ran madly and fell over due to the speed, the people behind them rushed in as if to cover them, trampling on them, breaking their bones and flattening them, and chasing Simone and her group.
“Oh my! This mansion is so big- Hey! Simone!”
Simone's head turned straight ahead at Abel's call.
Then she stood there in bewilderment.
'This, this fucking dog...'
A corner at the end of the direction Simone had been running in until just a moment ago. Behind the wall, the faces of Viscount Delang and his servants were bent at a 90-degree angle, laughing out loud at Simone and her party.
An angle that no human could ever achieve.
Where are you going? Solve the request and go. You can't go until then.
Simone licked her lips.
We're surrounded. What should we do?
Up until now, all she's been thinking about is running away from here.
When her head doesn't work properly due to an unexpected development.
“Simone, let’s fight.”
"...Yes?"
Louis and Abel caught Simone, who had been left behind and placed her next to them. They each took out the amulets Simone had made from their bosoms and attached them to their weapons.
Bianchi also put down Orkan and attached an amulet to her own daggers. Orkan did not attach an amulet to his staff, saying that it was precious and expensive stuff, but he already started quietly chanting a spell.
“If you put a talisman on your weapon, it might work on them. Aren’t they just evil spirits that were created for show anyway?”
Abel snickered and glared at the servants surrounding them and the Viscount Delang.
Simone watched them with an anxious expression, then nodded solemnly.
“That’s right. They’re demons.”
Well, she's never experienced anything like this before. It's so different and she doesn't want to do it again.
Simone created a mana ball on her hand.
"Let's go."
At Abel's words, the group started running again and Abel swung his sword sharply.
It was Simone's first battle in her life.
“So you told me to do some exercise?”
“Yes, what do you know! I’m busy with my research. Do you understand?”
“I don’t understand, kid! Go exercise!”
