I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

78 – Disaster (6)

Morbe has no body.

This was one of Morbe’s secrets that Layla knew of, within the Demon of Concealment.

It was a bizarre statement to both me, who had no knowledge of puppetry, and Lilia, who did.

How do puppets move if there is no one to manipulate them?

How a person moves without a head.

How to move the thread without hands.

How can a doll move without a center controlling the strings tied to it?

That’s why Morbe is deformed.

A marionette that moves without threads, a hand puppet that moves without hands, and a human that moves without a head.

It is like a flower that blooms without roots. There’s nothing I can’t do without, but it’s functioning just fine.

Necromancers are those who manipulate corpses. He is the one who realized the act of moving, which is absolutely not recommended for the dead and is highly against manners.

As befits the deed, she too was unmovable.

Hearing this, Fresia laughed incredulously, as if she had seen a horse with horns.

Why is that? Some of them grow wings and tentacles. There may be people without heads.

“Ha, do you mean to believe that right now? It’s a manipulation technique, but there is no subject controlling it?”

Then, as is the case with people in anguish, she too wrapped her head around her head and wrinkled her expression.

“Puppetry that lasts without a backbone…? Does that make sense! No, how is that?”

“Unfortunately, that’s probably true, because the madman himself wrote it.”

She mixed a laugh into the tea and put it in her mouth.

I wonder if even the president of the Witch Association, who is said to have an expertise in all magic except blood magic, reacted like that.

As expected, Morbe’s ability is not normal.

Presia leaned on her chin and fell into contemplation.

It wasn’t a very polite act in front of people.

She wondered if she knew it herself, or if her brain, which had a lot of knowledge, quickly came up with an answer. She murmured in a clear voice.

“…Really, a demon.”

“Yes, probably.”

Lilia nodded her head in affirmation.

Now, it seems that the word devil is being used as an all-powerful substitute.

She actually looks like him.

A power created to destroy the world. I wonder if it’s close to omnipotence.

I alone have a body that grows infinitely without any cost.

Even before becoming a demon.

I don’t know if it’s the law of conservation of mass or the law of conservation of energy, but I’m not sure if it’s an existence that easily violates many laws.

Thinking about it again, I am more abnormal than Morbei.

But I have a warm heart and an average level of intelligence and knowledge.

To exaggerate, it can be said that it is like a friendly friend to everyone.

So, compared to Morbe, I’m normal.

Unlike that b*tch, she doesn’t smell like a corpse, and she’s wearing perfume.

Ah, did that friend wear perfume too? I do not know. Anyway, it seems she was trying to do something to cover up the nasty smell.

However, the fragrance I received as a gift is more profound, so in the end it is my victory.

I even felt the feelings of my family recently!

So it’s a long story, but what do you mean?

“I’m pretty average.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden…? Anyway, that’s what I’m talking about, Chairman.”

Lilia responded appropriately, as if she had adapted to my madness, then turned her eyes to Fresia again.

Originally, Lillia considered other possibilities besides demons.

It was nothing other than a magical possibility.

We create flower gardens that never fade, just like this land we are stepping on.

It also causes the sun-like brilliance to descend to the ground.

You can heal a wound like washing it,

It can also control human emotions.

We couldn’t have imagined, the puppet master’s ultimate secret,

I even hypothesized that it might have influenced Morbe’s strange puppetry.

I was denied like this right now.

Lightly denied what she expected from Precia, Lilia seemed to hide her gloom. However, she quickly recovered and went back to her original potential.

“I’d like to ask what demons are capable of making such a miracle come true…?”

“I’m sure you should ask the cathedral rather than me about that, but… Well, it’s not something I don’t know.”

“…Don’t you know why you can’t ask the cathedral?”

“hahahaha, don’t look at me like that, Lilia. I get hurt too.”

Lies. The hurt must have been felt only yesterday at the news of the fall of a close friend.

Ignoring Fresia’s stare at me, I drank the incense again.

But I couldn’t feel the ecstasy I had tasted at first. The sense of smell is a sense that is easy to get used to, so there is nothing you can do about it.

I gnashed my teeth quietly as I trampled on the stinging flower.

As Lillia said, we cannot ask the cathedral for opinions. It is a church that shuts up when it comes to things related to the devil.

If we talk about Morve, her eyes will turn and pry.

However, in order to obtain information about the cathedral, a reasonable justification is always needed.

Are you desperate enough to get that information, or are you fully cooperating? Or are you satisfied with both?

I was always present in Morbe’s recent actions.

What would happen if, in the process of full cooperation, my identity was discovered by the cathedral?

“I can stay at the cathedral, but I can’t cooperate with the cathedral. I don’t want to die.”

That, of course, is death.

Not only me, but even Lilia who cooperated with me cannot guarantee her life.

Even if you escape from the position, you will be appointed as a public enemy worldwide. I will live my whole life being chased.

Devil is a being who has nothing to say even if he is treated like that.

Of course, I am kind to everyone and a friend to everyone, but if that side is hostile, I can’t help it.

“In that respect, it’s better to be caught by the trash. At least those guys have no justification. Even that b*tch Morbe doesn’t reveal my true identity and continues to do crazy things.”

It’s a problem because the crazy scale is like throwing an iceberg for a snowball fight.

“Anyway, thanks to that, we can only rely on Lady Frecia. If you thought we’d hide her, let’s go all the way!”

Precia laughed hohuhuhu.

She laughs when people say what I say is funny these days. Am I a celestial clown? Might not be bad.

“That means I also have a chance to become your master…”

“hahahaha, don’t be bitter, Miss Fresia.”

The chat ended with a bright smile at each other.

After that, I passed the time by listening to lectures on various demons. Lilia looked boring, but she was an interesting piece of knowledge to me.

The sun rose in the center and began to heat the ground.

It means that the time has come when the flowers are painted in platinum, and in return, the dew is removed from the blades of grass.

“Oops, it’s already time like this. I’ll have to go soon.”

Presia looked at the watch on her wrist and snapped her fingers.

The flower petals that had been surrounding it until now were lifted, and black tea and refreshments also disappeared before our eyes.

“Oh, by the way, there’s one last thing I want to see before I go. Can I ask you one thing?”

Her request was simple.

I ask if you would like to show yourself the appearance of Morbe we saw.

“Yes, of course. I’m sorry I didn’t show you until now.”

Lilia, who readily accepted her request, laid her hand on her Precia.

Seeing her hand gesture, Presia smiled bitterly and wrote down one of her crystal balls in her arms.

I know that.

A crystal ball that reproduces memories.

It’s an amazing item that reproduces the opponent’s memories as they are.

The downside was that it was a one-off item and the material was a gem, so I couldn’t use it often.

If you want to use that, it’s cheaper to use memory reading magic under mutual agreement or to make a statement yourself.

“Look closely.”

Lilia raised her hand, accustomed to the expensive item. Perhaps it was something that she would not be familiar with, but she was the one who could handle it well with only one of her just because it was expensive.

In an instant, light rose from the beads.

A familiar figure of Morbe appeared. White hair and red eyes like an ominous rabbit. In that form, she has the appearance of a madman dancing between the corpses she controls and the corpses created from them.

From nob le mt l dot com

Precia’s face was shadowed by the sun, making it hard to see.

“It was true.”

“Then I must have taken the chairman’s time with lies?”

“hahahaha, that’s not what I meant. I’m sorry if I sounded offended.”

The chairman raised his cane with a bitter smile that was incomparable to the coffee he usually drank.

“…Lilia, don’t you regret taking the Eva?”

Lilia’s eyebrows twitched.

That’s what he said right after he saw Morbei.

The intention is too obvious.

If it wasn’t for me, I wouldn’t have been chased by such a madman.

If not, are you saying that you are regretting it now?

I wonder if it was a mixture of ulterior motives to keep me away from Lillia, as always.

Or just grumpy.

I’m not sure. The thoughts of high-ranking people are completely unpredictable. That’s right, I live in a low place. That’s why I like to bring down high people to low places. It’s nice to feel equal.

“Yes, no.”

“Then I’m glad.”

The wind blew again. The color was neither colorful nor platinum, but silvery white.

“I hope you will keep that heart for the rest of your life.”

The Witch of the Silver Lion disappeared just like that.

Only the faint scent of flowers remained.

I didn’t feel the scent of flowers because I got used to it.

“I’m thirsty… I’m thirsty…”

“If Wiz didn’t drink all the water earlier…”

“Who was the person who drank a lot of water because it was hot yesterday…?”

“Anyway, Wiz hit the last shot!”

“What is the last hit… Damn you…!”

The two warrior candidates, the only two warrior candidates in the world, were directing a heartwarming scene based on the strong friendship they had nurtured since childhood.

Even if they are warriors, they are human after all.

I couldn’t stand the water that had fallen since this morning.

I can’t even think of escaping the pursuers sent by the cathedral, or finding and defeating the demons in the village.

Currently, it was nothing more than a beast acting according to the instincts given to life. A beast struggling desperately to survive.

“Kreurre…”

“People speak wiz.”

Speaking only made them more thirsty, but since this conversation was the only way to escape reality, they threw meaningless words in the middle.

No matter how much I walk up the mountain, I can’t see the village.

In a way, it was natural.

Asphodel is one of the outskirts far from the big cities. In a slang word, it is a kangchon. It was so far away that it had to be.

The road to Asphodel involves crossing many mountains, which only witches famous for riding broomsticks and other promising wizards overcome easily.

For those who were filled with only divine magic and combat magic, this was not the case.

In the first place, magic that required deep thinking was just a luxury because of lack of physical strength.

“There are no private houses… Around…?”

“Wiz knows the difficult word Minga and is smart…”

“Please… Mouth…”

The helpless pink girl saw the hateful girl.

I thought about dyeing all of that red hair red with blood, but I didn’t have the strength to get angry, so I held back.

As expected, friendship is garbage.

It’s the warrior and the nabal, and gradually a sip of water started to become more precious than its name.

Wiz made up his mind to serve the waterer now as a lifelong benefactor.

And not long after, the two pitiful warrior candidates found a small house built on top of a hill.

**

“Then you should take a good look at the house~?”

“If you steal money from my room, I will kill you.”

“hahahaha Master’s room is mine now… I’m just kidding, of course. Goodbye.”

Should I abolish the prank setting?

Eva thought as she saw off her mother and daughter through her door.

I still have Monia’s eyes.

What if she treats her pretty daughter carelessly and is kicked out by her landlord’s order?

In my previous life, it wasn’t once or twice that I lost my temper and got kicked out. Eva quietly killed my true nature.

The mother and daughter said they are shopping for dinner tonight.

In the meantime, he was chosen as the watchman to protect this house.

I’m sorry that I left her alone, but Eva wasn’t sad or lonely at all.

The first is because I was an outsider in the first place, so I didn’t have to regret it.

The second is because they said that they would buy a handful of meat as a reward for looking after this house.

Iva smiled as she wiped the saliva flowing down her mouth.

The first meat I ate was bought by Spica.

For Eva, who used to be extremely thrifty, meat was more of a luxury than a decoration. For protein, I could eat high-quality supplements or bugs, but I wondered what kind of meat it was.

But after she was served her meat by Spica, her thoughts all changed.

Since then, she has been waiting for Spica’s chance to stalk her like a bedbug and steal her meat.

The prettiest insectivore in the world? Who is it? Me right away

Does anything matter as long as I can supplement with protein? Now, if anyone is saying that, bring them. You will eat the meat right in front of your eyes with the face of the happiest person in the world.

She came to love her meat enough to think that way.

Whether the result is the same, the process should be happy in the end.

Even with the same protein intake, the level of happiness is different.

The sense of achievement is different.

It’s meat you can’t eat anymore, but Eva smiled badly at the memories.

Eating meat like that, I can just forget about the unpleasant things that happened today and the unpleasant things that happened in the past.

“What regrets?”

What regrets will Lillia have?

Regret obsession exhaustion. These are all words far removed from my life.

Even though I lived my whole life miserably, there was at least one pleasant thing a day.

I lived a day full of happiness all the time, but I should talk nonsense in moderation.

With that thought in mind, Eva walked around the living room.

Since there was nothing to do, searching through Lillia’s room didn’t suit my temper.

That doesn’t suit my temper to do nothing.

That’s why I chose to go round and round. Repetition sets the mood. It gives the illusion of sincerity. Good night.

While doing so, I felt a sign of reaching home.

He hesitated.

He stopped walking around like a restless dog, ran to the window without footsteps, and checked outside.

Two people are approaching.

It is hard to see the details because it is covered by the hood.

Is it just an illusion towards someone who is going a different path, or is it an intentional approach?

Eva watched the situation further.

A clear step in this direction.

This is an intentional approach.

Eva quietly gnashed her teeth as she approached the door.

Suddenly. A knock was heard.

And suddenly.

《Congratulations on facing the third trial!》

My vision was stained white.
