I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

69 – Drowning (17)

“What is this…?

“It’s the napkin I used for a letter before. Why, you tried to send it to the river before.”

“Yes..? Why is that all of a sudden…”

That’s it, I don’t know. Before he could even say that, his vision was stained with darkness.

The light soon disappeared from the small paper that had become a letter without type, which seemed to emit light using secrets as firewood.

“…Something seems to be going wrong?”

“I guess that’s how it is.”

Lyla, who had experienced enough surprises to get tired of it, wasn’t too surprised even in the thick darkness where no sunlight shined.

Still, she couldn’t shake her fear at all, so she clung to Iva’s arm and looked around her like a herbivore.

“Our devil chew was angry.”

When I admitted the secret that I had not been able to say out loud, and that I had been holding deep in my heart, the devil greatly admired it and said that he stopped hiding it.

…I wish it had progressed like a story in a beautiful fairy tale or myth.

I don’t think that’s the case.

Lila held on to her trembling teeth forcibly, interpreting the sudden situation.

“Ah, maybe… The secret that makes up the hidden demon’s body no longer functions as a secret, so it has left its flesh.”

She pulled out her wand from her bosom.

When she came to Kyle Devoutier with her sister, Kyle gave her a cane as a gift with the money she had saved while working.

A wisteria staff that has been worn for over 10 years now. She lifted it

With a click as if ringing a handbell, a white light rose from the tip, like a burning torch.

“But why such a sudden change…”

“Do you rebel because you feel like you’re dying?”

Since the body is damaged and the concealment is threatened, you’re trying to remove the impurities?

Eva laughed bitterly at her rising anxiety.

“It could be true. Each demon has its own way of destroying itself, and if it is disturbed, it will inflict harm in a special way.”

When Eva heard that, she said it was the first demon she had ever seen. She remembered the claps of hands. The guy who was just focusing on calling his body was attacked and rebelled fiercely.

The same light shimmering like a torch was no different from the only eye in this place.

That feeble light, trembling along with Laila’s trembling hands, was the hope that allowed her to see ahead.

An unsettling air and darkness in contrast to the uneasy shaking light. By the time cold sweat dripped down my clothes, and dry saliva made fun of my neck.

A sound was heard.

A rustling sound, like the rustling of paper, and the sound of wind cutting through the air.

“Layla over there! Shine a light over there!”

“Yes, four!”

Lila followed her voice and pointed the light at it.

There were tens of thousands of paper-made insects flying around flapping their wings like a swarm of bees.

“…That’s right. Damn it.”

In order to deal with the impure elements inside, the devil began to have malice.

The white malice flew toward them with a loud rustle. It was like an arrow shot with willpower.

Eva swung her arms away from the flying paper worms.

He seemed to be sweeping the dust off the furniture. Paper bugs disappeared without a hitch.

Lila also swung her wand across her. A strong spark followed in that direction, soon followed by a crackling sound of burning paper instead of a crackling sound.

It was much more stable than before under the bridge.

From the appearance of screaming in surprise at the corpses and silently watching others perform, he moved himself and repulsed the enemy.

But her circumstances were not so sweet that she, as she grew up, could put up with her easily.

Glancing, I looked behind her. Bugs were flying there, just like in front of her.

“Mr. Layla! Send out a long flame ahead! It doesn’t have to be fire. Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter! Let’s open the road!”

Eva asked her, slashing the pile of insects flying behind her.

Lila nodded her head and straightened her wand, unlike before.

Quaaah!

A roar of fire erupted like an active volcano. Overwhelming heat and violence, not even the sound of the paper disappearing like firewood.

“hahahaha! You’re the best, Mr. Layla! This is magic! As expected, witches are different!”

In this dire situation, impurely, Lila was glad to hear that. She feels like she’s being recognized for something.

As I suppressed her rising laughter, I felt her body float.

It didn’t feel like it. It was Eva who really hugged her waist and lifted her up.

“Huh…? That, over there, this?!”

“It’s faster for me to carry you!”

Eva smiled confidently, and then ran ahead of her, which was empty for a moment.

Quang!

The seat he was stepping on was dented, and he ran so fast that the papers instantly lost their place and flew away.

Lila didn’t know what riding a person felt like riding a broom and gliding across her expanse.

I grabbed the fluttering hem of her clothes, still breathing fire from the tip of her staff, and made a light with a parting in front of her to illuminate the way to him.

“But this will never end?”

“I know!”

It was as she said. There is a limit to magic power, and this path is endless and infinite.

The light is weak, but the darkness is savage, and the footsteps are heavy, but the solution is light because it is empty.

First of all, Eva wasn’t feeling well right now.

Lack of sleep is also lack of sleep.

Unpleasant feelings and pains were being drawn up from within, spreading through his body like ink drops staining water.

“…Still, why don’t you do something once you live?

That’s why I tease her feet like this. Iva licked her blood that had just brushed against the sharp piece of paper, and she moved around inside the paper demon.

I’m used to running around. Even when I was not long after I fell into this world, I ran a lot again.

There is no such thing as a problem without an answer, there is always a solution to anything in this world.

“Layla, I have a short bag strap. Any ideas?”

“Even if you say so… I know how to…”

“You know how to do it. Didn’t I just wipe out the enemies just a moment ago, even now. If it weren’t for you, I would have been wandering in the dark by now.”

Iva met Laila’s eyes for a moment. When our trembling eyes met, he smiled confidently and gave encouragement to the current situation.

She, too, was not as good as her body. There were cuts on her in places, and blood was oozing from them.

“And you must have the knowledge you’ve accumulated in the Witch’s City. I don’t have that. I’m ignorant.”

While Eva said that, paradoxically, in her head, she was frantically devising a plan to overcome the current situation. However, her physical condition was not good, and the accident did not follow suit.

The wound must have been healed, but strangely, it was painful.

“So, I’m sorry, but let’s lean on it.”

“…Is it? You mean… To me?”

“Then there is someone else besides you.”

A strange word.

Determination, who are you talking to?

Half elf. An existence that is neither a human nor an elf, and possesses only the flaws of both. Isn’t that me

I have lived passively with someone’s help, and I don’t have any special abilities.

Lila nodded her head, her fisheye dumbfounded.

For some reason, she felt affection for his profile. It no longer feels as hateful as before.

He thinks he has changed when nothing has changed.

In the end, it’s just that I’ve changed.

**

How many hours did he run?

The demon spewed stronger and more enemies to attack them.

There was still no end to the road, and they were only getting tired.

At some point, the flames disappeared, and only a whitish light flowed from the tip of the staff.

Eva’s excruciating pain made it difficult to even move her body, let alone think of a solution.

“Ah! Hey, Mr. Iba, I just remembered something!”

Lyla happily shook her Eva. But in fact, he hadn’t heard anything for a long time. He only moved his feet, holding on to his distant mind.

Eva noticed the discomfort and pain welling up inside her body.

A secret is not just a fact she wants to hide, but also a memory she doesn’t want to recall. Whether it’s intentional or not, it must be hidden deep in your heart and you don’t want to bring it out.

These flying papers not only injure the body, but also forcibly evoke painful experiences engraved on the body.

At first it’s shallow, but as the wounds accumulate, it becomes more intense and vivid.

A function that forcibly reminds you of what you have forgotten, as opposed to the demon of concealment.

The devil is such a strange creature, I thought of that and let out a rough breath.

Eva can heal the wounds of the body, but not the wounds of the heart. So, no matter how much he regenerated his body, the pain did not go away.

Eva knows this pain now.

The pain of 【Daylight】 that was hit by Innis in the past,

And…

“Kuhak!”

His breathing stopped and he stopped on his feet. The sudden stop brought the fatigue and pain he had been forcibly ignoring until now, and he fell to his knees.

“Ah, Mr. Iba?”

Layla fell beside Iva who stumbled and fell. She asked after Iva, paying no attention to her throbbing shoulders.

Awesome!

Eva spread her wings in a circle around herself and Lyla. Bloody tentacles reminiscent of wild thorn bushes wrapped around them. Even paper is hard to come in, and the tangled and tangled lines made a wall.

“Huh, huh…”

Obviously my body was breathing, but I couldn’t feel it at all. My body was dominated by a strange sensation as if I was floating somewhere, and my ears were deaf. The eyes were bloodshot red.

Eva does not die from external wounds.

This is because the body restores its functions before death.

Then, what happens if you are exposed to an environment where you can’t breathe for a long time?

Iva has recently been able to come up with the answer.

While saving Lila.

The pain of drowning.

The terrible pain of having your lungs filled with water and not being able to breathe.

It is to continue to feel the state just before death. Because the body does not allow death, the pain that does not lead to death overwhelms the body.

The demon’s attack forcibly reminded Eva of that experience.

“Mr. Iba? Mr. Iba!”

I thought it would be a very special experience to feel the pain of burning and the pain of being submerged in water at the same time.

Eva could see what she was shouting with the barely-held vision, but she didn’t know what it was.

“I’m sorry, Lila. I guess I’ll have to act alone from now on.”

It seemed that it would be difficult to maintain consciousness even if I moved any further. If you lose consciousness, it will be like a runaway demon forming inside the demon. He couldn’t go any further.

“Yes…? What is that? Mr. Iba? You’re not going to die, are you?!”

“I need to rest here for a while.”

Eva cut Layla’s words up, then went on and on with her own words. Even speaking her words was close to a miracle for her.

“…You know, Lila. You really aren’t worthless.”

With the feeling that her now is her last words to convey to her, he conveyed what he thought from the moment he heard her story.

“If you weren’t worthy, your sister would have abandoned you already. If you were truly useless, your teacher wouldn’t spare you, and Lillia wouldn’t have looked at you as if she were lovable.”

Crackle. The sound of her teeth clashing reached Laila’s ears.

Did her temperature drop too? It’s a really good ability. Mental pain leads to physical effects. He hugged his trembling body and spoke.

“So… Heh… What I mean is, Uh… You are a person who deserves to be loved. You are precious… I wanted to say that.”

Eva lifted her head, which made her tremble. Lila was in tears. The tears she saw in the agony of drowning were unexpectedly warm.

Fortunately, Layla has a superpower. She has the ability to provide protection from mental contamination. She must be able to act alone in this demon.

“Anyway… Huh, now you are my only hope. You are my light now. Whatever you think of you… Huh, this doesn’t change.”

A person without a strong ego, a child is defined by others.

Layla has lived through a lot of pain since she was a child.

She was disgusting, ostracized, and incompetent.

She is in puberty when her ego is formed.

She should have hidden herself, been lonely, and tasted the harsh reality compared to her rising desire.

To others and to herself, Layla was not a very valuable being.

She has lived that way, so it was natural for her.

But now.

“Isn’t that Lila…?”

To him, Lyla was not a worthless half-elf.

“Purple is the color of the emperor…”

Lyla the Purple Witch.

Her witch’s name itself.

It is a pillar to trust and rely on,

It was my only hope.

Having said that, he raised her body one last time and kissed her on the lips.

Tears and blood-soaked lips entwined each other roughly and gently.

Lyla was greatly taken aback by the sudden action, with no warning whatsoever.

“…?!”

However, soon, the mana flowed into her body. Like a person’s body temperature, like the temperature of her blood, lukewarm and warm magic wrapped around Lila’s heart.

And then I noticed. This is not his joke,

She sent her because she couldn’t stay with her, she was a piece of herself and her embers.

He soon parted her lips and smiled bitterly with an apologetic expression.

Lila wiped away her tears and nodded her head sadly.

Soon, a blank space was created between the bloody wings and intricately tangled threads.

Layla spewed out straight flames, just as Iva had instructed her to do, and headed towards the void, inside the gentle demon, and then towards the hidden demon.

This hidden demon’s body is made up of secrets.

This devil is all about letters containing countless secrets.

If you admit the secret, this demon’s body will disintegrate.

However, it is impossible to disintegrate the demon’s body by admitting everyone’s secrets one by one.

But it might be possible to find and admit a secret or two.

For example, the secret of Morbe who created this demon. A few secrets that will prove fatal to this demon.

It’s more like gambling.

The content may be nothing, or it may not exist at all.

It is also difficult to find.

But you have to.

I am a purple witch.

Because she is a witch wearing the color of the emperor.
