The group that had left headed to Simone's room.
Anyway, Simone was going to come here once she finished her work, so they all gathered together and waited for her.
But Simone showed no sign of coming here even after quite some time had passed.
In addition, there was no news of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Illestone, who had ordered Kelle to prepare and then disappeared somewhere.
It was natural for the people in the room to feel anxious and impatient, as they had been waiting all this time without knowing what situation Simone and the Grand Duke were in.
“Hey, can we just stay still like this?!”
Count Chaylor, who had been pacing back and forth in the room without being able to sit still, finally couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted.
Kelle's calm response to his question, which was answered with excitement as if he had not yet forgotten the terrifying sight he had seen before his eyes, was:
“Then is there a way, Viscount Chaylor?”
"That..."
Kelle still smiled politely, his complexion looking even more pale.
“Both the master and Simone will have their own thoughts. If we just wait quietly, they will return soon.”
If an incompetent person steps forward to help, he or she will only end up being a hindrance.
All Kelle can do is calm the restless Viscount Chaylor and wait for them to return.
But Viscount Chaylor thought differently.
'Hey, these people! Didn't you see that just now?'
I've felt it so far, of course, I've never seen anything like it except for the mirror ghost!
Anyway, compared to the energy he had felt before, the energy that the corpse gave off was on a whole other level.
A black fog that was visible to the eye, a gloomy atmosphere, and a mouth that did not stop even when facing that Simone.
Running away, leaving that dangerous thing and Simone behind? Isn't this a big deal?
“Ha, this can’t be happening. It’s too dangerous. If we leave it like this, then even the Grand Duke, Simo, no, my boss... The hero who gained the trust of the second son of the Larson family and the Crown Prince... Aaah! I'm ruined!”
Kelle and Anna looked at Viscount Chaylor with pity.
Viscount Chaylor seemed unable to distinguish whether the tremendous energy was from the ghost or Simone.
Let's just leave it alone. He's not the kind of person who would understand just by talking.
When Kelle and Anna quietly turned their heads away, Viscount Chaylor spoke with a face that was eventually determined, though worried.
“It won’t work. There’s no news from His Highness the Grand Duke or Her Highness the Grand Duchess! It’s too dangerous. I’ll, I’ll go get help!”
“Help? Who are you talking to?”
“Fortunately, I have a communications seat that can contact His Highness the Crown Prince. He told me to contact him at any time if my boss is in danger. He-”
At that moment, the door opened wide and the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Illestone came in, carrying Dan.
“Master!”
“You have come, Master, ah, you went to rescue Lord Dan.”
Grand Duke Illestone nodded and handed Dan over to Kelle.
Florier coughed awkwardly.
“He kept repeating the same thing over and over again, so I hurt him and brought him back to his senses, so call a healer.”
"Yes!"
Anna answered and hurried out of the room.
Grand Duke Illeston looked around.
“Is Simone here yet?”
“Yes, not yet. It seems like it will take some time.”
“No, that’s not true.”
Everyone turned their attention to the extremely low voice.
Geneon said with a still serious face.
“The curse has already been resolved. The presence that was felt has completely disappeared. However.”
"However?"
“I don’t feel any sign of Simone either. There’s still something in that room that gives off that monstrous aura.”
Shit! Geneon clicked his tongue. He must go and see. What took Simone's body? What is happening there?
But he just can't move.
The primordial terror. A primordial enormity that can be felt even more keenly by those who can sense mana.
A cat's body wouldn't be able to withstand that monster.
“Then, Geneon, what should we do?”
Geneon thought for a while about the question from the Grand Duke of Illeston and then said that there was nothing he could do.
“I don’t know how. But some people will find a way to find us, even if it means making up a way that doesn’t exist. Abel, that guy, and his colleagues...”
That was the moment.
Clink. Geneon stopped talking and looked at the door.
“Why are you doing this, Geneon?”
“It's coming here.”
The Grand Duke of Ileston's gaze also turned to the door. If so, was he referring to Simone?
Grand Duke Illeston put his hand to his sword.
Geneon shouted urgently.
“Don’t do anything stupid! That’s not something that humans can deal with. No matter who comes...”
It's impossible. If it wanted to harm the people here, they would all die in the blink of an eye.
Even Geneon.
It was an energy of that different dimension.
As everyone stood tensely staring at the door, Simone's footsteps finally began to be heard.
“Ugh... !”
The Grand Duke of Illestone frowned. The closer it got, the more the distance between them narrowed, making it hard to breathe.
Soon the footsteps stopped in front of the door. And then.
Squeak-
The door opened slowly and Simone, covered in blood from head to toe, came in expressionlessly.
“Ugh!”
Anna closed her eyes tightly. Simone, covered in blood, was also very scary.
But what was more frightening than that was the round object she was holding in her hand.
Even without looking closely, Anna could tell immediately that it was the severed head of a corpse.
“Ugh...”
In the end, Viscount Chaylor, unable to bear the fear, fainted.
While everyone was cowering in fear at the considerable momentum, only the Grand Duke of Illeston caught Simone's gaze with murderous eyes.
Black eyes, bloodless skin, and expressionless face as if dead.
Everything was unfamiliar, but there was something else that surprised Illeston.
'You cut off the ghost's head?'
What Simone is holding is the head of a ghost. The ghost looks like it has died and is in rigor mortis.
Ghost. So, you're cutting off the head of someone who's already dead and killing them again. Is that possible?
What the hell is in that body-
I wanted to kill him and keep him by my side, but...
The Grand Duke unconsciously stopped all his thoughts at the sound of the man's voice, which was as low as thunder.
I changed my fate because I wanted to live.
The voice coming out of Simone's mouth caught the attention of everyone present.
It was a stern voice as if they had to listen to every single word.
Simone looked around at the people with her dead black eyes as if she were looking at trivial things.
These weak people are going to have a harsher fate.
Simone threw the ghost's head she was holding onto the floor and took out the magic stone. Then she spoke to those who were looking at her.
Beloved, my child, bears the fate of all mankind to avoid death.
After saying that, Simone didn't seem to have any intention of hearing an answer, so she approached the head he had thrown and struck it with a magic stone.
Then, in an instant, they were engulfed in a huge storm. At that moment, Illeston saw.
The red light slowly begins to return to the eyes that have turned black.
She's starting to get a little bored. She's also starting to get a little worried.
Did the goal end well? Oh, of course, it didn't seem to work out that well since it wasn't a subordinate, but someone else took over the body. But if that's the case, then maybe the soul inhabiting her body is actually harming someone else.
At some point, the whispers of ghosts stopped filling her head. Instead, countless worries began to fill her head.
“You damn ghost, you little punk.”
I've been taking you with me because I've grown attached to you, and now you're hitting me in the back of the head like this?
Simone ground her teeth. But even though she was angry, there was nothing she could do.
She's been trying to take over her body again since a while ago, but it's not working at all.
“What should I do?”
In fact, if there was enough time, anyone, whether it be Geneon or Orkan, would have tried to help Simone regain her body, but the problem is that this happened while the curse was being lifted.
“...”
Simone let out a deep sigh.
...But is it really true that the nine-legged ghost took over the body?
She probably doesn't have that much strength. Now that she thinks about it, the voice she heard earlier was entirely a man's voice.
“Hey, what does it matter?”
It's important to get out.
Simone closed her eyes again and concentrated.
The damn thing that took over her body did something to stop her from using her mana, but the mana itself wasn't lost; it was just blocked somewhere.
If so, there must be a way to use mana again.
Let's take a break and try again.
The moment Simone catches her breath and uses her strength as if she is going to explode with mana again.
The curse has been lifted
“Huh?”
No, this isn't supposed to explode as soon as you blow it up, is it?
“Ugh!”
It happened in an instant. As soon as she used the dragon, mana exploded out, and a she did so, a path opened up through the world of nothingness, and her soul slowly began to merge with her body.
Anyway, Simone was going to come here once she finished her work, so they all gathered together and waited for her.
But Simone showed no sign of coming here even after quite some time had passed.
In addition, there was no news of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Illestone, who had ordered Kelle to prepare and then disappeared somewhere.
