There Are Many Possessors in This Romance Fantasy

29. Visitors

The destroyed world was quieter than expected. People who are in despair, people who are stunned, people who are full of anger, people who are sad, etc. There was no one.

In this world where everything collapsed, I was the only one standing there watching everything.

After taking one step, the ground next to it cracked.

As I took another step, the ground behind me collapsed. I walked by relying on the light of the distant stars.

I looked at the collapsed ground everywhere. A black hole that doesn’t seem to accept any light seems to be looking at me.

As I stepped back in a vague sense of fear, the ground cracked open.

Every step was dangerous, like walking on thin ice. However, even if I walked slowly and ran as hard as I could, the result was the same.

One step cracked, and with another step the ground collapsed.

When I looked back, there was nothing there. Like the hole in the pit we saw earlier, there was only black darkness rejecting light.

“…”

I opened my mouth and spat out words, but I couldn’t hear anything.

Come to think of it, he was breathing. As soon as I realized that, I made a conscious effort to inhale.

I tried to sigh with my mouth open, my nose wide open, but no air entered my lungs through the hole.

In a situation that should have been choking to death, I was standing still.

Ah, it must be a dream. I got it on my own. Otherwise, I couldn’t understand this absurd situation.

“…”

I screamed with all my might. But no sound was heard.

The light is dim, the ground is collapsing, and there is no sound because there is no air. In a world where everything is crumbling abnormally, I walked endlessly.

How long did it take? I walked barefoot without shoes, and my feet, which should have been a mess with torn and scarred skin, were fine.

I didn’t feel any more pain than that.

It’s not that the body doesn’t get hurt, it gets better every time it gets hurt.

Ah, yes. It was a curse.

There was a memory that came up naturally in my dream. In a world that was perishing, I tried to stop it.

We barely prevented complete destruction, but it was already too late. The curse was activated, and the world perished in a strange form.

The aftermath of the curse came to me as well, making me unable to die.

If I had a normal body, I wouldn’t have been able to endure this time when I would have already festered and died.

I walked like that for a while. Walking and walking again, how long did you walk while destroying the world and blunting your emotions?

I saw a familiar sign in front of my eyes. It was the sign I saw when I first became aware of it earlier. It was the sign that I remembered because it was bent in the shape of a lightning bolt.

It was as if the world had turned around.

When I suddenly looked back, the collapsed world existed as it was when I first saw it.

As he took a step, the ground next to him cracked open.

This was a never-ending, repeating curse. That’s right, it was such a curse.

“…”

As I lost my memory, I opened my mouth again and shouted. What are you talking about again?

I opened my mouth and shouted, but I couldn’t hear anything. In a situation where I couldn’t speak, I breathed involuntarily.

……When I came to my senses, I found myself repeating such a series of actions. When I arrived at the place where I started, the world was restored and my memory turned black like dissolving black paint in water, so I couldn’t remember anything.

When I arrived at the place where the dream started the act, it rushed in with a hook.

“…!”

I broke my leg and scratched the ground, trying to hold on somehow. However, this curse, enforced by force, was intended to heal my feet and even turn the ground upside down.

It was an inescapable noose.

How many times do I have to repeat this hell?

———————

Half a year has passed since then. It’s been a year since Tina disappeared. Countess Erabasta could not protect her territory, so she was attacked unknowingly and her size became quite small.

The Countess of Erabasta was an easy prey for even the nobles on the same side, to the extent that the duke intervened only when there were nobles crossing the line.

In the meantime, Froden didn’t come out of the room. Previously, Hadoon, who came to report, was sent in, but now even Hadoon is not allowed to enter.

If you prepare a meal at the door, you take only part of it with you and return the tableware after eating.

If you prepare washing water every morning, return it to the door after using it.

Froden literally locked himself in the room and wouldn’t come out. The news was reported to the duke, but he only laughed and took no action.

“Is this the hero that will kill us?”

An unfamiliar voice tickled my ears. Froden’s sight returned to the voice of another person he hadn’t heard in a while.

The body that could be seen at first glance through the baggy clothes was as dry as a living corpse.

Always showing confident emotions, his glittering eyes were the color of dead, dead eyes.

The pitiful appearance of the skin and bones made the secretly comer frown.

“Who are you?”

A dry, crackling voice that is hard to hear. Hearing that voice, the customer with a distorted face took a step back, covering his nose at the stench wafting from somewhere.

“Do you know if I say witch?”

A fishy smile appeared on his lips. The vicious yet mocking appearance stimulated Froden’s dry emotions.

My arm was swaying as it looked like it had lost all of its muscle and the skin was stuck to the bone. My body staggered as I felt dizzy from the sudden movement.

The strong and self-assured Young master of the excellent duke family has now become a ruined man.

That fact stimulated the witch’s masochism, but she endured it.

“How did you come here, witch? You took everything from me and still have business to do!”

The sight of her dry cough and outburst of anger did not threaten her witch, but only ridiculed her.

“It makes no sense to be a future hero. It’s only because of one woman. Even if we get it wrong, we get it wrong for a long time.”

“Shut up.”

Although his body was weakened, his momentum was not. For a moment, the witch flinched at Froden’s menacing roar, and her annoyance rose.

For a moment, I was scared by a crippled person who could kill me with just one finger.

“Huh, that’s okay. That’s not what’s important.”

The witch let out a sigh and poured out her emotions. As much as she came to represent the witches, she had personal feelings biased, so she didn’t want to mess things up.

“Prince Froden. Is this woman the witch you are looking for?”

The Wicked Witch knew everything, but she took out her storage medium with a look of doubt. As she channeled her mana, a video came to mind.

It was a face she could not forget even in her dreams. I haven’t seen her in a year, but how can I forget that face.

How can I get this lovely face out of my memory and in my heart.

“Ah, ah… Tina…”

Suddenly, a moan mixed with crying came out. As she repeats the name, she tries to reach the image, but her emaciated body won’t listen to her.

“Kuk.”

Her muscles, which had not moved for a long time, trembled in surprise. She flinched and hit her fist down on her weak leg, but she didn’t move.

“It’s really unsightly. Come on, take a look.”

The witch generously threw it at Froden. Chan Froden, who had managed to catch her, had tears welling up on her longing and pitiful face that was vividly drawn in front of her eyes.

“Don’t you want to find that witch?”

The witch’s natural words pierced Froden’s ears. The gaze that had been fixed on Tina turned to her witch.

Her dead eyes suddenly came back to life, and were tainted with anger.

“Tell me if you know where it is. Before I kill you.”

The witch snorted at her ridiculous threat. She couldn’t even use forbidden magic. I snapped her fingers at her meaningless but relaxed look.

Her magic was manifested, and her mana moved in the air, tying Froden’s body. She was only bound by her magical powers, and Froden couldn’t even resist.

“Don’t use such strong words. It makes you look weak.”

I wanted to tear and kill the witch who said that with a smirk.

“We are also chasing the whereabouts of this witch. We came to you like this to seek her cooperation.”

“Witches who can do anything with forbidden magic, why do I need them?”

I was speechless for a moment. It’s not because the question is sharp. I just wondered if I needed to answer, so I shut her mouth.

“The cost of finding this b*tch is too high than I thought. There is a more efficient way, but I don’t want to go that far.”

“Then why are you looking for Tina?”

“Well. I don’t want to tell you that much. It’s you, not me. We came to you because of efficiency, not because it was indispensable.”

It was hard to find a single hint of regret in the witch’s voice. It wasn’t that she was acting, but that she really didn’t need it, which made Froden nervous. She barely found a way.

“So what are you going to do? Will you cooperate with us?”

“I only ask you one thing. What are you going to do with Tina?”

The witch didn’t laugh. Since this is important, she has to lie to him.

But she regretted not being able to lie at the cost of using her magic to touch his feelings.

“We must find and kill the spirit that dwells in her.”

So she decided to mix lies with truth. Of course, she didn’t tell her lies.

“… Cooperate.”

That fact was also what Froden had hoped for. He held in her hand the enchanted paper that her witch had left to contact.

My weakened body began to sway like a mirage. The brilliance lingered on his frizzy hair, and his skin-and-bone face was back to normal.

Muscles were attached to his body to the point where he looked skinny and skinny. Even the legs that had collapsed due to lack of strength gained weight and gained muscle, regaining their original shape.

“I thought it would take a year.”

Froden let out an unbearable laugh and looked at her magic paper, which her witch had left behind. She was a valuable clue that took over a year.

Finally.

“Tina, please wait. I’ll be back soon.”

The time has come to end her year-long confinement.
