#When I returned, my family was ruined (252)
Ethan could feel it instinctively because he had previously used a completed blank sword. The sword strike just made was an incomplete blow. It was unavoidable because the number of mana vibrations was insufficient. However, it had enough power to destroy the space occupied by the monarch.
Damn it!
Damn it!
The shower of fire began to split apart. The magma, which had been emitting extremely high temperatures just a moment ago, was being torn apart in a cruel manner.
The small elements that make up the space disappeared one by one. The small incontinence quickly spread throughout the space. Even the gigantic giants could not avoid this crack. Fire began to drain from the monarch’s body.
[…Whoops!]
Lorotia let out a scream as she felt a tremendous sense of loss, as if her limbs were being torn apart.
A sword that splits space?
It is a vicious technique that cannot be displayed, at least not in the realm of the transcendental.
If I had the perfect absolute state, I would have easily blocked it.
However, although Lorotia now seemed like a tyrant who could not resist, she was weaker than ever.
So much so that he had no choice but to helplessly vomit out blood from a blow that was so close to absolute territory.
‘…how?’
I knew that I killed the tyrant. Therefore, I was also aware that I was different from a normal transcendental person. Even the fact that the Ark has a different strength than that of an ordinary transcendental person. Lorothia was taking everything into consideration.
Even taking that into account, he moved that way because he thought there was no risk in taking Ysera’s body. However, the duke was demonstrating far more overwhelming power than the monarch had assumed.
I was embarrassed for a moment.
Gritting her teeth, she began struggling to maintain her body. The mental world was collapsing, but it had not completely collapsed yet.
‘are you okay. Not yet.’
The duke’s momentum was rapidly weakening, perhaps because he had used up all his strength from the previous blow. I will not be able to deliver that vicious blow twice.
Time was on her side.
one minute.
With just that much time, space could be reconnected and the body could be reconstructed.
Right then.
Cough!
Ethan, who was spitting out blood from the corner of his mouth, shouted while catching his breath.
“…Ysera! “Can you hear me?”
[It’s useless.]
“Is this the result you wanted?”
The Duke, who was shouting while looking at the giant, stumbled. It appeared that he had suffered fatal internal injuries.
I used a technique that imitated absolute power in the body of a transcendental person who could have reached intermediate level at best.
It wouldn’t be surprising if he became crippled. Because everything in this world comes with a price.
“…Cough! “Didn’t you promise to be together?”
The duke’s voice gradually became quieter. Lorothia showed no reaction. It was only then that I realized what he was aiming for.
‘My soul…’
was slowly shaking.
This was probably because the seal that had been tied together with a magic thread so that water could not leak had cracked.
‘shit!’
She hurriedly started moving her mana. Even the mana that was recovering her body was squeezed out and sprayed like a spider web towards Ysera’s soul.
If her soul reacted, it was obvious that the situation would become tiring.
“…Come to your senses, Ysera.”
After finishing speaking, the Duke collapsed helplessly. Lorothia’s greatest misfortune was that the duke’s last words reached her ears one step faster than her mana could seal Ysera’s soul.
Ugh….
The soul, which was shaking precariously, began to twist its shape. The weakened barrier could not withstand that small twist.
Squeak!
With the sound of paper being torn, several of the threads of mana that had sealed the soul burst out with force. A familiar voice rang in Lorotia’s head. It was Ysera’s.
―Where am I… Wow! His Excellency the Duke…!
Lorotia frowned for a moment at the strong shout that erupted in her head. Can not be done. The situation was getting worse. If Ysera had even figured out the situation here…
-What on earth is this? Why am I… Lorotia? What are you… doing?
The voice, which contained only confusion and nervousness, completely changed its nature in an instant. A voice filled with intense hostility like a sharp blade.
Soon, as if he fully understood the situation, his soul began to run wild.
-What are you doing? How dare you… Your Excellency the Duke!
Fight!
Toad!
The thread of mana was quickly breaking due to the intense twisting. It was clear that Lorotia’s mana, which arrived one step late, covered his soul, but was unable to put it to sleep as quietly as before.
―Despicable! He said he would help the Duke! I should have known right away when I looked into your eyes. What a cunning bitch! How dare you harm His Excellency?
Damn it…
Lorotia’s eyes were greatly shaken. No matter what anyone says, the original owner of this body was Ysera. Looking at the sharp hostility, it was clear that he had read my previous memories.
How did I put it to sleep? How did you take over this body?
Damn it!
The frantic spirit quickly began to regain control. The feeling in one of my feet disappeared in an instant. The senses had completely passed over to Ysera.
It was a big deal. What was even more frustrating was the fact that there was no way to calm Ysera down. The decisive reason why her spirit was able to be put to rest.
It was because of the fact that he was more helpful to the duke than Ysera. Because of that, Isera was more helpless than she thought and gave up on herself more easily.
But the current Ysera was different.
She clearly remembered the confrontation with the duke, found out that he had moved to save her, and ultimately found out that he was seriously injured and falling to the ground because of her.
-Give me my body!
Lorotia’s face hardened.
This is because control of 30% of the bodies that had turned into giants due to the current resistance was instantly transferred to Ysera. It was natural.
Because the fundamental owner of this body was Ysera.
He was only able to control it because it was sealed in some way, and even as a monarch, he couldn’t use something that wasn’t his body as his own. Especially if the original owner’s eyes are blue.
-Die!
One arm and leg moved violently. It was an instant before my body lost its balance. Immediately, the arm swung towards the head.
The frantic self-harm to kill oneself began. This was the situation that Lorotia was most reluctant to face.
[This crazy bitch…]
There was no one in this world who understood Ysera as deeply as Lorotia, as she dominated Ysera and analyzed most of her.
That’s why I knew it. For Ysera, the Duke is like a kind of faith.
She was a fanatic.
A fanatic crazy about love. A crazy woman who only wants his attention, only his love, and would give everything for him.
The reason that madness did not occur was because there was a safety pin called Duke. But now that safety pin is gone. It was no wonder that crazy emotions like madness erupted.
Thanks to that madness, Ysera quickly regained control of her body. The speed was enough to astonish even the monarch. As I clenched my teeth and controlled my arms and legs, the control spread like an infectious disease and reached half of my body. At this point, it was almost safe to say that the possession had failed. Now, half of my body, beyond one arm, was moving to kill itself.
[stop! Then you really die!]
―I told you to get out of my body!
[Ugh… This psychotic bitch…]
Now, Lorotia had drawn the power of her true self into the body of the possessed Ysera. This meant that no matter how much the monarch was, it was impossible to return to the original state without any sacrifice. Because I’ve invested too much so far for that to happen.
Is possession called possession for nothing? It was as if the two had become a half-destined community. If Ysera dies from self-inflicted harm, Lorotia will also suffer serious injuries that will force her to remain in seclusion for at least five years.
If that happened, it could be a big deal. Because you will have no choice but to accept what you were trying to prevent without being able to lift a finger.
Right then.
Isera’s voice burst out with a cold laugh.
-Ha damn bitch. Do you think you can achieve that goal? Even if I die, I will hold on to your ankles!
[…ha what do I mean? You read me?]
―Yes, you damn bitch. The monarch is acting like a mouse. I guess you hated being sold as a hostage so much?
At those words, Lorotia’s face became as hard as ice.
Now she and Ysera were almost one. Just as she could read everything about Ysera, from her tone of voice to her behavior, personality, and thoughts, there was no way that a sane Ysera would not be able to read her.
Of course, since the two realms are fundamentally different, this one is overwhelmingly superior in terms of the amount of information that can be read… but
that superiority is maintained when both parties are in a normal state as usual, not when the situation goes crazy like now. It didn’t even stay the same. That may be why Ysera read Lorotia’s secret. I ended up reading the most painful information. For a moment, I felt dizzy.
‘Why so much…’
Has the situation worsened?
The plan was obviously perfect…
-Give it to me!
[Stay still, bitch!]
The clear madness conveyed by Lee Sera. In addition, the complex emotions such as nervousness, embarrassment, and anger that began to well up in his heart eventually caused Lorotia to explode.
The body, divided in half, began to fight frantically for dominance.
To put it another way, it was clear self-harm. The wounds on the giant’s body increased like crazy. It was only at that point that Ethan came to his senses.
“…Phew!”
He spat out a handful of dead blood and looked at the giant. The distortion of the world of images was accelerating, and the giant’s huge body was splitting in half and moving to kill each other.
Ethan immediately grasped the situation. It was clear that his voice had reached him through the loose seal. Normally, if it had been about him, Isera, who had died horribly, would have come to her senses right away and it was obvious what happened next.
I must have been frantically trying to regain control of my body.
What Ethan didn’t expect was not a fight for control, but the madness of Ysera stabbing him without any hesitation in order to kill herself.
Self-harm.
Did he think that it would be harmful to him if Lorotia was possessed like this, so he thought about just dying?
It was the result of a very extreme direction. What was even more terrifying was the fact that even Lorothia had lost her senses and was frantically biting half of her body.
‘Holy shit.’
The wounds growing on the giant’s body.
Ethan wrinkled his face when he saw that.
At this rate, even if Ysera regains control, death will be inevitable. I had to somehow stop the two moving in a state of madness.
