I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

Aranea, disciple of Morbe.

Her plan was close to perfect.

The only problem was that it was ‘close’ to perfection.

Religious City Eternus.

One of the safest cities in the world where the headquarters of the Holy See and the Holy Knights are located.

Sturdy barriers and towers towering like blue barrels, and religious symbols prevalent everywhere give people a sense of security.

That’s why people are less interested in what is lurking in their city.

I didn’t know that the most heinous threat was lurking nearby.

Eternus is sensitive to demonic energy, but insensitive to divine power. It is the source of the power that the paladins wield, and the power that forms the backbone of this city.

Unlike other places in this city, divine power is more important than magic.

Daily scenes such as boiling water and lighting the road are also created with this divine power.

Unlike magic that causes waves in the world by pursuing chaos, divine power is the power to return the waves of the world to tranquility by pursuing order.

It is a completely opposite force, but there is no difference in that it tries to control and change according to its own will by changing the original thing in the world.

In addition, this divine power is not the exclusive property of humans.

Devils also use divine power.

Demon of order.

A demon that perfectly corresponds to order, the source of divine power.

This existence is not recorded even in the library of the Holy See, which paradoxically has the most books on demons in order to defeat demons.

The reason is simple.

Because it was intentionally left out.

The devil of order is powerful. It is to the extent that it is considered to be similar to the rumored demon of death or the demon of reversal, which is evidence of a candidate for the demon king.

Because it is one of the values that people most desire.

Order is rules and regulations, and that is why it is safe. People long for freedom, but because they cannot handle that freedom, they rationally or unconsciously desire order.

At first glance, it is similar to the Word of God. Controlling people by borrowing the mouth of an absolute being is, after all, an exercise of order.

Due to the nature of the demon of order, there is a risk of being identified with the existence of God and spreading into idolatry. Because of this, the church intentionally erased its existence for the sake of God’s legitimacy and majesty.

However, as there are no eternal secrets in this world, Aranea has uncovered the demon and succeeded in approaching it.

She believed that this demon was the power to dominate her own enemy, the demon candidate.

Brainwashed several Paladins and hid them in Eternus, and quietly began preparations for the Demonic Manifestation Ritual.

I’ve prepared bait to lure him in.

Elf.

It is the crime committed by the demon king candidate and the greatest responsibility.

I can’t ignore them if they use their name as an excuse to run amok.

Then he unleashes his anger and causes a runaway.

The cost of rampaging in the religious city will never be light. He further solidifies his existence as evil.

Lastly, this doll controlled by Aranea. It makes Master’s body die.

Then, the blood magic recorded in the body is activated with death as a catalyst.

With this, the process of demon manifestation is over. Through the body of the demon king candidate, the demon of order is manifested.

In his body, a foreign substance called the demon of order is different from the demons he has accepted so far.

Reversal, chaos and order.

I’m sure it will cause a lot of rejection. However, the demons that have already been accepted cannot be cut off with their own will.

There will be a runaway of a different level than before.

At the same time, because it has the nature of a demon of order, it is placed in a state where it can be ruled according to pre-determined rules at any time.

Bind this demon lord candidate with the magic prepared in advance by Aranea itself.

In this way, the demon king candidate is ruled by Aranea outside Eternus.

Of course, we also prepared for various variables. Considering the possibility that the demon king candidate will not come to Eternus, other baits have been prepared, and several other anger catalysts have been prepared in consideration of the possibility that he will not kill himself.

Her plan was pretty close to perfect.

But like I said before, and like all plans, it wasn’t perfect.

But there was one variable she was not prepared for, and that was none other than the elf.

A closed race that lived in the Great Forest of the World Tree.

One day, the world tree disappeared and dozens of people were killed by a demon king candidate.

As Aranea tried to use them, they also tried to use Aranea. Knowing trends in the world outside of her that she herself was not familiar with, they used her to contact her demon king candidate.

That’s why, contrary to their thoughts, they couldn’t help but get angry if they tried to use the demon king candidate instead of giving it away for revenge.

And that anger turned out to be extremely savage, instinctive, and violent.

The leader of the elf chase slashed Aranea’s head with a single sword.

“What is this…”

I had no time to persuade, nor time to listen.

It was similar to the act of eating because I was hungry and then sleeping because I was sleepy.

I am angry, so I express it.

There was no reason to hesitate. I didn’t feel the need to be patient. So it was an immediate expression of anger.

Before Aranea could finish her words, her head fell to the ground.

The curse of demon manifestation triggered by death has come true.

“How dare you fool us!”

“That sucks…”

Iva was able to survive her slashes thanks to her unique regenerative powers, but Aranea was not.

“…Are you dead?”

Muttered Stella.

Of course, it was just her doll, so she wasn’t dead. However, she, who was active in this Eternus now, is dead.

Then, the curse that was confined to that body spewed out toward the world.

“What, what!”

No blood flowed from her fallen neck. Instead, a cloud of smoke white as milk and brilliant as gold drifted and headed towards the elf who had cut her own throat.

The elf stepped back in embarrassment, but his whole body had already been bound.

“What have you done!”

“Captain!”

“That, I’ll take it out right away!”

Other elves ran and tried to separate their captain from the smoke, but it was not enough.

Smoke gradually entered the captain’s breath. Even so, he showed no sign of pain.

On the contrary, I gradually became comfortable.

Like a patient on an operating table receiving her anesthesia, like a child falling asleep to the sound of a storybook told by her mother, she was gradually drawn to the other side of the unconscious.

Wiz muttered at that time.

“…A demon?”

She has the ability to sense her demons. Should she be called a special ability or a special sense that is different from others?

Even in this place where all of her abilities were blocked by Aranea’s trickery, except for the elves, her sixth sense shined.

What the elf, now surrounded by smoke, could feel was the presence of a demon.

“Very, Captain, Ouch!”

Her Suddenly, a great light emanated from her, all of her chairs next to her were blown out in the impact, and nothing was left around her.

The chains around Eva pierced his flesh even more. Chi profit. The sound of his flesh being burned by the chains of light, and the unpleasant grinding noise made by his skin being twisted by the chains, stimulated his hearing.

“Ughhh…”

“I-Iva?! Are you okay? What’s wrong. Iva!”

I heard Wiz’s worried voice from beside me. He put down his gaze, which had been focused on the elves until just now. Despite her worries, his eyes were still fixed on the mysterious smoke of light.

“Why do elves turn into demons…”

I couldn’t understand. No matter how powerful the curse was, it would not have the power to instantly turn humans into demons.

In reality, the curse prepared by Aranea did not have that much power.

Just as a seed cannot suddenly become a flower, a devil cannot suddenly become a human being.

It is necessary to become a monster at the stage of budding.

This was the second variable Aranea had not thought of.

The curse also worked on elves.

How can demons and monsters be divided?

If the demonic energy in the body exceeds half, it is a monster, otherwise it is a demon. Elves were originally demons, but they were transformed by the influence of the World Tree.

Bondi mines do not become monsters unless there are special cases.

However, elves lived in a more special environment than anyone else.

I haven’t died for hundreds of years, let alone a few decades, and I’ve lived with the devil for a long time.

He received the demon’s energy every day, filled his body with food that must have absorbed the demon’s energy, and sometimes went closer to worship him and prayed.

The subtle line between demons and monsters that won’t change in just a few years.

The elves have succeeded in crossing that line.

This is because, by human standards, several generations have accumulated in an individual’s body, as well as a close life with demons.

Now surrounded by smoke of light, she was one of those elves who turned into monsters.

So now.

He was being reborn into a new body while being cursed to make the devil manifest in his body.

The smoke of light gradually began to take on a distinct form.

It was like a vine and also like a root.

Or carnivorous plants.

A plant that catches, attaches to, and dissolves insects.

Ah.

No.

‘No, no, no, no, no, no, no.’

I couldn’t put it into words. Could not perceive

It is no longer light, smoke, vines, or roots. Something is binding, but no one knew what it was.

It metaphysically bound her body and took shape metaphysically.

The earth shook.

It went deep into the ground.

It is rooted deep enough that no one can see it, deep enough that no one can recognize it, deep enough to forget that something ever existed there, deep enough to affect everywhere without even knowing it.

It was firmly rooted.

It was rooted in the ground, but it was also the heart of man and the foundation of the world.

It was messed up. Beneath the ground, a frenzied berserk erupted without stopping, tearing through the ground, heart, and foundation. No one looked down, but I could tell that what was exploding there was light. It was a perception that transcended sight.

It flickered. The flickering light took away the sight and presented a colorful and dizzying world like a kaleidoscope.

It was brilliant. The light radiated from the light again. Nobody understood it, but everyone understood it.

It was erected. After messing around, messing around, and exploding, turning the world upside down, he built something new according to his will. It was rooted to the end and built something that could not be pulled out.

It was order. Discipline is established here. A rule that no one knows or a rule that everyone follows.

Here he came.

A new discipline, where all these codes will be nothing but fairy tales, all ethics will be but jokes, and all agreements will be an overnight prank.

Our order.

Eternal law.

Follow me!

Be enslaved!

Be subjugated!

Be united!

Be bound!

Gather!

Become one under this rule!

Demon manifestation.

There were no elves before I knew it.

There was only one copy of her book left where she was.

“What the f*ck.”

Eva muttered.

The world turned upside down.

“aaagh!”

“This, what is this! Rumia, what is this!”

“Don’t ask me oh oh !!!”

“What, what! What the f*ck!”

“This is Michiii!!!”

It was literally. The body that floated up suddenly was pointing to the sky, not the ground. It was also a special experience for them, who had been through many things in the past.

Not just them, but everyone living in this city. The lives that had been planted on the ground flew into the sky. Loud screams echoed from several places.

Soon their sights turned to the ground below.

The city I had just set foot on, Eternus. A religious city with symbols of religions clustered like fruits on a tree.

The city was being reorganized. Towers rose and bricks stretched into the sky. The roof collapsed to form the floor, and the cross rose above it to become a new ceiling.

Remnants of the city began to circle around the risen people. It was in the form of a sphere. The city was reorganized into a sphere like a small planet or star.

The ceiling soon became the floor. People close to the ceiling began to set foot on it. The raised bricks were put together to form a wall. Other people also stepped on the wall around them, and it soon became a floor rather than a wall for them.

Gravity has also been reorganized according to the new rules.

The tower began to decorate various parts of the city in the form of a sphere. Like a forest decorated with tall trees, giant trees made of bricks made by human hands gathered like a forest to decorate the city.

At the end, the moment even the sunlight was blocked by the bricks of the city, the city became a spherical castle floating in the sky, a fortress that no one could invade, and a prison that no one could escape from.

The city is completely closed.

Also, it is governed by a perfectly unified order.

Eva murmured as she looked at the tightly closed ceiling that did not allow any sunlight to pass through.

“…What a plague.”

He was here alone, bound in chains, while everyone else was lifted up into the sky to watch the world reorganize. The sun was blocked, but the world was not dark. Rather bright

There is no light source, but it is bright. It was a strange sight. Contrast was distorted. Some were shadowed to the left, some were to the right, and some were not. It was so bizarre.

“Ugh… Eek… Kek…!”

The chain began to wrap more strongly around Iva’s body as she stared at it. His throat was strangled and intense pain rose up in his limbs. My vision was stained red and my consciousness was clouded.

However, he couldn’t let go of consciousness because he knew that the moment he passed out, a runaway would happen.

I caught on as much as possible.

“Kuk… Kuk hak… Billion…”

The chain didn’t catch Eva, but burrowed deep into her body as if it would cut off and kill her. By the time he let go of his consciousness and life together.

“…Huh…Huh…”

The chains around Eva’s body disappeared. To be precise, the expression that it permeated into the body would be appropriate. The chains of light penetrated his body and eventually went inside.

“Uh… Uh uh uh… Uh…”

I didn’t even have time to figure out what had happened. Eva approached the book.

The moment I picked up the book like that.

– First discipline! Do not touch the rules!

As if attracted by something, like a magnet attracting different poles, it pulled away from the book.

After flying backwards for a while, Iva was able to stop flying only after hitting a wall.

“Damn it…”

Swallowing her swear words, Eva stood up. Her head was dizzy. When I touched her, it seemed that her blood was flowing.

“What the f*ck!”

She couldn’t stand the curse at the end. She tried hard to wield her demonic powers, but it didn’t come out, probably because of her chains that had just entered her. Thanks to this, the expression of her anger was only possible with her mouth.

From noble mtl dot com

“f*cking bastards, if you’re going to f*ck, you’re only going to f*ck me. What the hell! What the… f*ck!”

“Iva?”

Someone talked to him after he had been fussing away for a long time.

“…Wiz?”

“I-Iba is still alive…! Thank goodness…”

In one of her hands was a rusty holy sword.

“There’s no need to turn back just yet…”

Her muttering was slightly creepy.

Perhaps, as a last resort, she intended to decapitate herself with her holy sword. A pretty extreme way. It doesn’t seem like it would be effective.

“What about the other kids?”

“Everything… Scattered… Iba… Are you alright…? Blood, blood…”

“Oh this? It’s like a wound…”

She just needs to be regenerated, as she has often done so far. Iva removed some of her magical powers that had been attributed to her own brand.

“… Huh?”

But the wound showed no sign of healing.

“…No way, no way!”

In an instant, a certain assumption flashed. Iva stopped channeling her magic into her brand on her arm. There was no runaway. This time, there was no runaway on the bridge.

She stopped channeling her magical powers to all of her stigma embedded in her own body.

There was no runaway.

It doesn’t happen. Her power as a monster has disappeared.

“Ah…”

She couldn’t use the demon’s power, and the monster’s power disappeared.

“Ah…!”

A slight euphoria bloomed on Eva’s lips.

“Iba…?”

“Wiz, do you think I’m going crazy?”

“Why, why? What’s not good? It hurts a lot? That, yes! I’m going to kill myself right now…”

“No, that’s not it. It’s not bad.”

A slight pleasure soon turned into a great pleasure. Pleasure of achievement.

“It’s so good…”

Madness caught in her mouth.

“I’m a human now…!”

What I wished for so long has come true.

“It’s a human body!”

In this prison.
