I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

10 – Sosa (10)

Lilia woke up around noon yesterday. Evening was not too far away, but it was still bright, and the sun was just about right. Brightly colored eyes resembling butterflies looked around her fiercely as soon as she woke up.

A situation where her arm is immobilized, and neither is Innis and a boy who calls himself Ibara. In other words, Iva restrained herself and escaped by taking Innis hostage.

“Ah… I suffered.”

Lilia realized that she had lost the war of nerves with the boy. Had she drawn her wand sooner. No, she might not have suffered these consequences if she hadn’t used her magic and brought her wand in the first place.

But this kind of thinking is also a mental victory in the end. It’s nothing more than an escape from reality. Lillia shook her head vigorously to clear her thoughts, and she thought of what to do.

The first is the escape, the second is the rescue of Innis, and the third is the defeat of the devil worshipers. She didn’t know about the third, but she was confident that she would do well with the first and second.

Lilia had her body tied to her tree. Also, there was no magic device in her cloth that bound her. Instead of immobilizing her arms, she could move her legs, and there were suitable-looking tree branches around her.

Escape preparations are ready.

Lillia tossed off her shoes, then, using her left big toe and index toe, grabbed the stocking of her right leg and pushed it off slowly. Then, naturally, her white legs were revealed, and soon, her feet without any blemishes were revealed.

“What kind of trouble is this….”

Lillia grabbed the branches that were lying around her with her right foot, which had become barefoot. She then slowly blew her magic into it.

Wands are essential for wizards to use magic. This may not be true in the world of Iba, but it is common sense in this world. Without a wand, she cannot use magic. It is similar to saying you can’t shoot without a gun. Therefore, it is also common knowledge that a magician’s weakness is a staff.

Even the wands used by wizards are made by coating old trees that are at least 50 years old with various magical filters and techniques. In other words, you can’t use magic with ordinary branches.

As wizards with such weaknesses are openly exposed, they tend to additionally learn dagger skills or taijutsu in preparation for emergencies when they do not have a wand or have it stolen.

But Lilia said she was seriously unable to exercise, so she didn’t learn taijutsu in such an emergency, and she had no intention of learning it.

Thus, she created her own new crisis response plan.

She developed a technique to forcibly infuse magical energy into an ordinary tree branch and turn it into a temporary staff. It was a skill that only she could perform, with super-high magic control skills that far exceeded the norm.

“Even if you make it like this, it will break after you use it once… Eight!”

When the instant wand was complete, Lilia lifted it to her feet and whipped it into her air. It was a stiff and poor drawing unlike her handwriting, but her magic worked successfully nonetheless.

After hearing the sound of her sharp cutting through the air, the fabric around her tore. The blade of the wind had broken her restraints.

As soon as the magic cast was finished, the temporary wand turned to ashes between Lillia’s feet and descended to the ground.

With her body free, Lilia put on her stockings and shoes again, and quickly called her broom.

The broom was parked far away from where it was subdued, so Eva couldn’t steal it. Even if I stole it anyway, it would have been the same.

A witch’s broom has the property of recognizing magic waves and returning them to the user, so no matter where you park it, you can have it come flying as long as you can use magic power.

As Lillia stretched out her right hand, the sound of a strong wind came from the right. It meant the broom was coming. While her broom is coming, Lilia has made a few more makeshift wands.

As her broom approached, Lillia caught it as if it had snatched an arrow from its flight.

“Where is it?”

Then he jumped right on the broomstick and flew through the sky.

She knew where she was going. This is because the boy’s cloth (which has now become clothes) was marked in advance. Innis looked at the map marked on the treasure chest beforehand and started out leisurely as if going on an adventure.

‘If you dare to kidnap Innis, when you meet him, he will beat you to death. Damn you.’

She flew around thinking about her and Lilia reconsidered her thoughts about the boy in Ibaran. While she was angry, reason continued to explore his identity.

I thought she was a devil worshiper because she was so suspicious. For that reason, what he did was lukewarm. While subduing witches and special police officers at best, they did not use them as test subjects, and it was not that they were killed without repercussions.

‘I’m not a devil worshiper…’ If so, is it the experimental body?’

Perhaps that’s the case. Individual grudges and facts are separate. Lillia thought she wanted to beat up Eva, but at the same time she knew he was someone he needed to be protected from.

She knew that his preemptive strikes, intimidation, restraints, and kidnappings stemmed from defensive mechanisms that overcame anxiety. She vowed to get it over with her own hands. The punishment was blatantly outrageous.

Thinking that it would be troublesome to deal with her identity registration later, Lilia went into the forest hidden by her fog.

She is and she is lost.

“Where is this… ?”

The effect of the fog was not only to get lost, but also to interfere with the detection of magic, so the previously marked cloth was useless.

After about three hours of wandering into her fog, Lilia’s patience was exhausted.

“It’s really annoying!!!!!”

The reality is that it doesn’t change even if you shout. Rather, it only served to stimulate the two who were holding their breath.

It was around the time when I stayed up all night, killing monsters, wandering around, starving because all my luggage was stolen, not being able to see the pretty face of Innis, and my magic power gradually diminished to a dangerous level.

I saw a huge arm towering in the sky.

No matter how much you lose your way, it’s a barrier, so it can’t affect structures that rise out of range in the first place. Therefore, if you fly through the sky and follow it, you will not get lost.

As soon as her arm rose, Lillia’s head was filled with thoughts. Who did it? Is that a trap? Should I ignore it? Did that Ibaran boy do it? Or a devil worshiper? Or another test subject?

Her various hypotheses poured out like a flood, but in the end, Lilia decided to move towards the arm. Even if she is stagnant here, nothing will change. She decided to fly towards something in her that could at least make a difference.

【Acceleration】,【Wind Speed Change】,【Friction Manipulation】

Quickly, the wind is on my side, so that even the flow of air does not become a wall for me.

In an instant, three spells were chanted. Lilia marched toward her arm, that of her, mobilizing as much speed as she could.

**

And that judgment was correct.

“Innis, I’m sorry I’m late.”

Inis had tears in her eyes, either from surprise or from delight. She hadn’t been away for very long, but she felt like everything about her had been a while.

The blonde hair, which had always been flowing, had a slightly gloomy color, probably because it was too much dust and blood mist, and the Tsushima Special Police’s uniform was also frayed and torn in places. Even so, her appearance did not lose its luster.

Everything about her was nice. No it wasn’t everything. Her wounds were not welcome. The tears were even more so.

Innis also had similar feelings for Lilia. The fact that she looked at herself again as if she was apologetic reminded him of the unresolved remnants of her heart. She was happy with everything about Lilia, but one thing, she wasn’t as happy as the conversation she had with her before falling out.

“Can you wait a moment? I’ll finish it soon.”

“Wait!”

Innis stopped Lilia, who was walking in front of her. Know. She’s fighting now. There is no time to share their feelings. I just want to apologize. I want to say nice to you, and I also want to say thank you.

But now I know it’s not possible.

“This… cane.”

She only intended to convey her words, simply handing her staff with her heart.

“…… Huh. Thank you.”

Lilia took her wand from Innis. The familiar touch, the cold temperature of the tree, the slight lingering body temperature, and the faint scent of flowers. All of these factors made Lillia’s magic comfortable.

Lilia smiled lightly and walked out confidently.

Even though there were pitiful monsters with only a few human forms left in front of her, and the chief who made them.

She walked out without any fear.

Eva watches the scene, and she is truly in agony… She thought.

“Are you done f*cking? What the f*ck are you doing late?”

“This wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t kidnapped him. Look at the talking pig?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Come to think of it, I must have been a bad guy. Eba suddenly realized that he was the one who contributed greatly to the twisting of the situation.

Lilia reached Iva’s side with a witchy smile that was completely different from the sweet smile she had just smiled, full of shadows and suspicious.

She had a foxy smile that made her expression hard to read, but in fact, behind that, Lilia was quite nervous.

It was because of the power difference. She had consumed quite a bit of her magic while coming this far. Innis is unable to use her magic. The fighting power of the Ibaran male next to her is yet to be guessed at.

However, on the other hand, there are enemies with overwhelming numbers, even high mages, devil worshipers.

“That’s a decent amount of power… !”

“Stop bragging and focus.”

Lillia shouted in an exaggerated voice and shot her ice block. Behind her block of ice, her magic bullets poured in in the form of bullets, followed by intense heat rays, ready to be emitted.

In response, Eva shaped her arm into an awl-like shape and quickly stretched it out.

The targets the two aimed for were coincidentally the same.

Devil worshipers. The cause of all these circumstances, and the result they must reap. It was a natural target selection to end this situation quickly.

-Pair.

What I heard then was an unnatural applause. It was a dry bump that did not suit during battle.

Quad Deuk!

Then an unpleasant sound of flesh twisting came from somewhere. It was the sound of broken blood vessels, mangled muscles, and shattered bones.

I wondered where I was screaming, and I saw that several test subjects around me were terribly dead, as if they had pressed clay with both hands.

Once again, there was the sound of flesh twisting.

“Keuugh!”

It was the sound of Eva’s arm being stretched out to pierce the demon worshiper’s heart. It’s not just Eva’s arm. The countless vicious spells that were coming towards him were twisted and crushed. All attacks were voided.

Eva took a few steps back, quickly regenerating his mangled arm. Lilia also took a few steps back. The place where she had been until earlier was being torn apart as if she were being pulled with both of her hands.

A miracle performed without using a staff cannot be normal magic. Besides, the behavior of offering something that we saw earlier.

“I borrowed the power of the devil… Dirty quasi-human bastard.”

“What did you say earlier, Lilia. Adequate power car? I guess not? I think we were followed~?”

“Shut up.”

The time to share this kind of bickering quickly ran out.

-Pair.

Because once again the sound of applause came.

After that, the situation took a sharp turn. A few claps followed, the subjects became corpses, and the space was crushed.

-Pair.

-Pair.

-Pair.

Just one minute, the sound of applause was the right time to plant neuroses in them.

Neither Iva nor Lillia had time to attack. I was just in a hurry to avoid it. If I missed a beat even for a moment, I would just be crushed by that applause. Even one breath of air for an attack was lethal now.

Lilia’s blouse was stained with dirt and sweat at some point, and Iva’s shirt couldn’t see the original color any more.

It was a nervous, urgent, crisis situation.

“Damn it! Witch! What to do with him!”

“Because I want to do that too?! But it seems a bit difficult… Yes!”

Lilia, who hesitated for a moment, managed to get her foot off the spot where she was being crushed and continued her words. She hadn’t taken a break for a long time, and in her current state, where even her magic power was lacking, it was an unfulfillable wish for the swarm of Iba.

-Pair.

“Ah!!! That applause sounds like a dog!!”

“Shut up, please! You’re insane! Hey, wait behind you….”

Lilia warned Iva, but she was too late. Her momentary hesitation on him was an irreversible delay in time.

Kwajik!

Her leg was twisted, resulting in it being amputated. The act of playing with the legs to avoid led to the act of rolling on the ground.

I got up quickly by regenerating my legs, but I had already lost the beat. Once again when correcting your posture to adjust to the tempo of the applause.

-Pair.

There was applause.

“Oh….”

He felt the air twist around his head.

And Innis was watching the scene.

Innis knows why Lillia hesitated and why Iva’s leg was torn. Because even while she was dodging, she kept glancing somewhere.

The one at the end of that line of sight was Innis. Because he couldn’t use magic, because he was a weak being here, they had to protect him.

Lilia and Eva teased her feet, checking her regularly. Lilia came, but her situation did not change. She just doubled down on the fact that she was self-aware that she was Jim.

She didn’t mind being ignored or persecuted. She didn’t mind being looked down upon. She can calmly endure that much.

But being a burden and being protected are two different things.

I chose this job to protect someone, but I stood in front of the demon again to make sure no one had to go through something like my hometown. What is this like now

It’s a shame.

Ennis squeezed the staff in his hand. Her hands reacted naturally to her madness, the reflexes left in her body made her pick up her wand. The process ripened in her hands. The next process, magic chanting, she still hadn’t done. No, she was giving up.

What did I become a wizard for?

Why am I standing here?

Innis stretched out her hand holding her wand in front of her.

She will use magic today.

Burning down her house, scarring her brother. Recently, it hastily judged the appearance of a monster and killed a person. That which was treated reluctantly as bringing disaster.

Innis’ trauma originated from magic. All the bad memories were made by it.

Why haven’t I taken off this uniform yet? Why haven’t I taken off the uniform of this cop who will live with magic for the rest of his life? Where does this coming come from?

First, because magic was beautiful.

The second was to save people with magic.

Innis’ magic wasn’t blood, it was to protect someone’s sweat.

“Iba!!!”

The wind blew.

It smelled like a gentle breeze, had the weight of a typhoon, and had the warmth of a spring breeze.

It was the wind that floated in her arms.

【Sky Wind】

It’s a rescue magic, a magic that has been done many times, and which will need to be repeated hundreds or thousands of times in the future. Magic that will last a lifetime.

“Uh, what is it?”

When Iva was still dumbfounded, the seat he stood on was being torn apart.

Innis imagined a case where her own magic was a little late. Giving goosebumps just at the thought of her, Innis was truly grateful that she had been able to save him.

“… You have to be careful.”

“You’re welcome.”

Eva smiled.

“As expected, it doesn’t seem like the right fit for your job.”

Innis has been able to use magic for the first time in a while.

A policeman who uses magic to defeat monsters can use magic to protect them.

Innis knew that too. But there was no shame at all. Rather, he stood next to Eva, who had settled down on the ground, and spoke confidently.

“No, it’s a really good fit, isn’t it?”

The moment I was about to say that, I remembered Eva’s previous request to use her short language. So, correcting what he was about to say, he said:

“Like a cop, I will protect you from now on.”

Lilia, who watched their conversation, felt that she did not know what it was. How could her man and woman develop such affection in just one night?

She wanted to argue with Innis not to be near her, but she couldn’t afford it now, so she looked at the demon worshiper in front of her.

‘Why haven’t you attacked Innis until now?’

While having such a new question.

Actually, the answer is simple. It was because the devil worshipers did not recognize Inis as a human being.

He was concentrating only on Experiment 86, which was not dominated by him and had excellent combat skills while maintaining his reason.

Lilia was just a bonus, a troublesome fly. In front of an extremely selfish and self-centered person, Innis’ existence was a small existence that could not even be conscious of.

So he had to widen the range of perception that the applause would apply when he saw the blond hair that had suddenly come into his field of vision.

The time the devil worshiper briefly reconstructed the spell in his head was fatal.

The breath of battle passed to them. Just like Eva, a moment’s time was fatal in this fight.

【Chains of ivy】

Lilia did not miss that moment. She restrained her limbs and mouth before he could clap her hands. Just before clapping his hands, he was bound by a silver chain resembling a vine.

After that, Ennis fired a huge fireball. Compared to 【Sunset】, it was a shabby flame, but it was enough fire to burn a person.

They had no intention of saving the devil worshipers. If they could afford it, they would have arrested them and sent them to prison, but they didn’t have the luxury to do so, and it was because such comfort could change the direction of victory again.

While their flowing, natural couplets were taking place, Iba watched as she was fascinated by the magic.

‘Oh, that’s crazy.’

Just before their victory was assured, applause was heard from somewhere.

It was a test subject. The test subjects applauded in unison.

-Pair.

-Pair.

-Pair.

-Pair.

-Pair.

Are the strangely dry sounds one after another, or at the same time?

No, it could have been faster than the fireworks.

Or maybe it was faster than before the chains.

No, it could just have been from meeting a devil worshiper.

That was the sound of applause. Applause rang out, disregarding the order of things. The sound of applause that distorted people’s perception continued.

With the sound of the applause, the flames lost their way, scattered and scattered.

The fog ate the flames.

The heads of the subjects exploded all at once.

The fog thickened.

A fog thicker than blood engulfed the area.

“Oh what the f*ck is that.”

It was a demonic sight. A devil-worshiper with his whole body chained and his skin peeled off.

The scene where you have to doubt your own perspective is happening one after another.

When a skinless devil worshiper let out a laugh that was drier than applause.

The mist swallowed everything.

At the same time, Lilia shouted loudly.

“Rearrangement of barriers!!!”

Iba had read about this sight in his novels. The moment the fog enveloped everything and took away the entire field of view, Lillia and the others scattered. I don’t know the exact reason because no explanation was given until the end, but it seems that the barriers were relocated and each individual got lost.

To lose one’s way means to lose one’s destination. In other words, it means that they lose even the person they set their goal for. Be it a friend or an enemy.

Innis shouted in response to Lillia’s voice.

“Hold both of my hands!”

There was still someone’s touch in the light fog. Eva took her hand without even thinking about it. The fever rose and I felt a little warm.

Like the coldness I felt on her wrists and shoulders that had been touched for a few minutes in the cave before, and the hair that had been touched for hours before, but different, a body temperature that smelled like flesh.

It took a long time for the fog to blow like a typhoon, and the fog subdued moderately, and the three of them regained their obscured vision.

“It’s really hard.”

Eva lowered her head like an old man who had finished her farm work, let out a deep sigh, and gasped for her breath. Then she lifts her head again and looks ahead.

I felt a very hot gaze.

“Shouldn’t you let go of Innis now?”

Lilia was giving Eva her gaze, not knowing whether it was jealousy or monopoly. It was as hot and sharp as a heated knife. Come to think of it, he had been holding Innis’s hand ever since in her fog.

Iba tried to let go of his hand, not wanting to be misunderstood.

But.

Innis held his hand and did not let go.

“… Can’t you hear me?”

“I think you misunderstood something….”

Before Eva had finished her words, Ennis spoke.

“That’s right Lilia. You are misunderstanding.”

I felt more pressure in her hand than before.

“It’s not that Iba won’t let go, it’s because I’m holding on to it.”

And then, a feeling more chilling than the life-or-death decision from earlier took over her body.

Lately, she’s been sweating profusely for the second time.

By the way, the first time was when I almost got burned by Innis’ magic.

“I’m holding you, Lilia.”
