Her body was not in pain at all. Every time she died, she came back clean and healed, so now Anasis clean without a single scratch.
Nevertheless, Anasis was so exhausted that she could not move at all.
Even if she runs away, hides, or comes back to life, Illeston continues to chase her and kills her.
She tried everything to escape the curse, but now she wondered if it was worth trying.
I've died here more than a hundred times already.
Anasis had overcome countless trials and tribulations up until now, but if she failed in the same situation a hundred times, even she would lose her momentum.
At this point, Anasis had to admit it.
Simone is stronger than she used to be. The child is stronger than Anasis is now.
She don't know what method was used, but it was enough to trap Anasis in this curse.
Perhaps Simone, rather than herself, may have come a little closer to the power of God.
“How... do I get out of here?”
A weak voice came out from Anasis, who had been pouring out curses in a fit of evil.
She was starting to get really scared that she might be stuck here forever.
Simone must be watching her from somewhere.
Simone may be waiting for her to give up everything, laughing at her for being so helpless.
The true nature of the curse came to her naturally after she died several times.
This place, where the sun never sets no matter how much time passes, is a cursed nightmare that will last forever.
The monster that lives in the nightmare disguises itself as the thing that causes the cursed person the most fear and follows them until they wake up.
'Simone...'
This fucking bitch.
Are you saying that you planned everything that has happened since this morning?
“Ugh... Ugh...”
Anasis began to groan and shake her head wildly. It seemed as if she could not bear it without going into a rage.
She expressed this unbearable anxiety by constantly pulling out her hair and rolling around on the floor.
Then, she gathered all her strength and started spreading mana in all directions.
Boom! Bang!!! Taang!!!
But it was no use at all.
Anasis's power, which she had gathered without even thinking about the consequences, was completely ineffective against Simone's curse.
If this is a curse that isn't a direct attack, and a curse that is clumsily placed, then in reality...
'...Uh?'
Anasis, who had been hitting her head on the floor, stopped moving. Then, she realized something and began to tremble in fear.
“Okay, wait a minute...”
No matter how hard she struggles, she can't escape this curse.
Anasis's power does not work on Simone's curse.
...What this means is that even if she is ‘lucky’ enough to be freed from this curse, she will inevitably be unable to win the battle with Simone.
What if things go wrong and while trapped under this curse, it's Simone who gains the power of the Demon King instead of her?
When Anasis's thoughts keep going round and round until she reaches the worst possible conclusion.
Thump thump
Thump-
“Huh!”
Anasis took a deep breath. Once again, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.
She got up in a hurry and looked around. She tried to find a place to hide, but all the furniture in the room was broken and it was just an empty space.
It's because she shot Mana earlier. After all, she couldn't control her fear and anger.
She instinctively tried to step back, but flinched and instead took a step forward.
“This, this time...!”
She knows. Since she came here, she has never defeated that monster, Illestone. Let alone, she has never succeeded in shaking him off and running away.
But unless she really wants to live in eternal damnation, she has to figure out a way out now.
“There’s no place to hide anyway.”
'I am Anasis.'
How many life-threatening ordeals have I overcome so far?
The worst necromancer in the Luan Empire died and became a ghost, but was still resurrected.
Why should I act like such a scared fool, behaving so incongruously with my reputation?
Never before has anything she planned gone so wrong. And even less often has she fallen into a trap.
So Anasis struggled for a long time without finding an answer, but when she thought about it, there was actually away.
"Ha..."
Anasis straightened up, straightening her disheveled hair. Then she glared at the door with haughty eyes as if she had never felt fear before.
That's stupid. Making people feel weak like this is the main method of the mental curse.
When she realized that her exhausted body and mind were all symptoms of a curse, she began to relax and regain peace.
Yes, the one beyond that door is the Grand Duke of Illeston, who killed her.
But in other words, he's just the same guy she's seen a hundred times already.
Is there any need to fear a familiar sight that she has seen countless times?
“Come. Even so, you are not Illestone. You are just a small monster.”
The sight of that person breaking down that door will be the same as the one she's seen several times before.
Anasis tried to ignore the sound of his shoes and placed her hands on the floor.
Then, an unpleasant aura was felt at the tip of her fingers. It was a sensation that was clearly different from the coldness felt on the ordinary marble floor. It was an aura emanating from Simone's mana, who had created this curse.
'Why didn't I think of this?'
Anasis smiled slightly and began to quickly absorb Simone's mana.
She also planned to absorb the Demon King's power.
How could it not absorb Simone's mana? This place is a curse created by Simone. The entire area should be made up of Simone's mana.
"Ah..."
Anasjs felt the mana that had been drained quickly being replenished. At the same time, her exhausted mind began to clear up.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps that had been heard continuously finally stopped in front of the door. Anasis imagined the appearance of Illeston who would soon barge in.
Don't be afraid. If you don't panic when you see him breaking down the door and approaching in an instant, you will be able to dodge his attacks and maybe even counterattack.
Anasis lowered her posture, drawing mana into her hand. A moment later, a crack! The door shattered with an aggressive sound, and someone appeared behind it.
"...Uh?"
Anasis, who was preparing to defend, stopped moving in confusion.
Of course, she thought he would rush in and try to cut her throat as soon as he broke the door down, but this time he was different. For some reason, he just stood still in front of the door.
Without even drawing his sword, without showing any sign of attacking...
'It doesn't matter.'
Anasis glared at Illeston and walked away. Was Simone's mana finally weakening? If so, that would be a good thing.
'There is a way out of this curse.'
At las!
The moment Anasis smiled even more evilly and shot mana at him.
“...”
Anasis saw his silhouette, hidden in shadow. And in it, red eyes just like her own were reflected.
The moment her gaze met Anasis's body froze again.
It's not Illestone.
Another. A girl in light attire enters the room with calm steps.
In contrast to her dainty appearance, she exerts a fierce aura and pressures Anasis.
“Si, Simone...”
The moment she realized the identity of the person hidden in the darkness, Anasis's body began to tremble incessantly.
Her heart, which had barely calmed down, began to beat loudly again, and all the plans that had filled her head just a moment ago were blown away.
At that moment, Anasis realized.
The monster became Simone. That means that Simone became the most terrifying thing to Anasis.
At this moment, no matter what Anasis was thinking, Simone in front of her began to move.
Anasis
How about my gift
The monster was approaching her step by step, with more leisurely gestures, a more joyful expression, and a stronger aura than Anasis.
“This, this monster!”
I know.
I know for sure.
I know that the Simone in front of me is not the real Simone, but a fake.
...Wait a minute, can a monster like Curse emit such an aura?
Obviously, the curse can become stronger or weaker depending on the power of the sorcerer.
However, no matter how strong Simone is, it is impossible to maintain such a huge curse and create such a strong monster.
No matter how strong she is, no matter how strong a human being is, Simone, cannot make the curse she has created as strong as herself.
What's strange? Something...
When Anasis felt something strange and distanced herself from the monster Simone, Simone snickered and quickly came closer to her, whispering quietly.
Do you really think this is a dream?
Phew-
The small dagger in Simone's hand stabbed Anasis in the abdomen without hesitation.
Nevertheless, Anasis was so exhausted that she could not move at all.
Even if she runs away, hides, or comes back to life, Illeston continues to chase her and kills her.
She tried everything to escape the curse, but now she wondered if it was worth trying.
