The Nature of Possession - Chapter 445



445 – EP.17 The person who should be by his side – 4

***

[Even though your appearance has changed, the way you look at me hasn’t changed. So, how long are you planning on making me reach out to you?]

Don’t you know how many memories you have to fight with every time you cross a world?

Are you trying to brag about recognizing him as your destined partner?

I followed him through countless dimensions, yet I still maintained my existence.

Aren’t I more amazing?

[As expected, the saint is so kind. He calls me so affectionately, even though I was unable to save him.]

You’re trying to gain sympathy when you can’t even protect him.

You couldn’t protect him at the crucial moment, and you didn’t kill everyone in front of that scaffold.

You got revenge too late and now you’re asking for my affection? Hypocrite!

[It is the wife’s job to protect her husband. Guests who are not related, please rest for a moment.]

In the end, I made him die, I deceived him…

[Me too. I didn’t come here with any particular plan.]

I just crossed one world. I tried hard too. No! I had a harder time.

[It’s been a while.]

Long time no see? Isn’t it even longer for me?

On the topic of a soulless tin can. On the topic of imitating human affection. Why are you approaching me with that face?

I tried hard. I lived a really good life.

I think I lived a really good life, following the established rules, without harming anyone.

Why is the result my misfortune?

But why, only me… why only me… am I unhappy? Why are there only certain people who are happy?

Don’t go near him. He’s mine. I should be by his side.

My goal, rescued from the endless burning hell, pursued through countless dimensions.

Now, this is a compensation for my original love that I have forgotten.

Don’t take him. I can get what I want once in a while. I always give in.

My time always went to my family. The money I earned also went to my family.

If he happened to receive a bonus, he would come and take it all like a ghost.

The price of alcohol consumed by my boastful father.

Living expenses begged for by a dispirited mother.

Money for my younger sibling’s future aspirations that change from moment to moment.

This was all a burden I had to carry.

Anyone can see that it’s pitiful. Anyone can see that it’s not worth it.

If there is a god, he could have rewarded me once.

But why… do I always have to be on the periphery? Why do I always have to be a witness?

I’m right. It’s unfair to anyone.

But why, are you the only ones trying to be happy? Why are you the only ones trying to be happy without me?

But… who is ‘I’ here?

Who am I? Sure, I was there.

Uh… what? I don’t remember. What was I?

Ah… I’m a little hungry. I feel a little empty inside.

Is there no easy way to beat it?

As the other women were arguing and taking opposing positions, the black figure that had been lying on the ground began to move little by little.

It slithered across the ground like a snake, leaving behind a trail of black residue, sticky like asphalt tar.

The prey was getting closer. Her empty eyes took in its size.

A giant on the prairie.

“You, you…”

The giant’s tenacious vitality barely kept him breathing even after a fatal wound.

The creature named Alpha took in heavy breaths and looked at the woman in front of him.

Their eyes met, and Alpha used his powers to see right through Yimina’s mind.

“You, no way….”

“……”

Uncomfortable pupils, the eerie weight of the air, a moment of silence.

Several arms stretched out from her back and began to bite the giant.

“Ugh, ugh… ugh…”

“To clean those up.”

A voice full of noise came out of Yimina’s mouth.

“We need stronger power, stronger soul.”

Even in the pain of being eaten alive, Alpha couldn’t close his eyes.

He looked into the thousands of eyes covering Yimina’s body and sensed his own futile end.

“Wan, a mortal with a wall…”

He wanted to resist by moving his hands, but his head had already been pierced and he had no strength to escape death.

Alpha’s consciousness suddenly disappeared as he felt parts of himself being eaten away little by little.

“My lord, you have something more dangerous on your tail than I thought.”

When the attention of the woman who had been acting like a lone wolf turned to her, Yimina smiled brightly.

She definitely smiled, although no one would have recognized it as a smile.

As each giant’s corpse disappeared into the shadows, her vision began to get clearer.

Little by little, she looked down at the things on the ground. She felt good about the vitality she had not felt in a long time.

Fullness and satisfaction.

Positive feelings make the body move.

“Should I call that a human….”

The magical girl muttered, looking up at the ‘something’ that could no longer be called Yimi.

She swallowed dryly and put strength into her trembling hands.

He adjusted his posture, gripped the spear firmly, and held it out in front of him.

It wasn’t just the pressure of size that made it sway. Magical girls had a history of easily defeating things bigger than that.

“It is quite… an ominous being.”

The golden eyes flashed and pierced through the opponent. Chunhyang rubbed her arm, where goosebumps were forming, and looked on guard.

Did it sense their gaze? The giant being turned its head towards them.

The first Jang clan and the magical girl sensed the coming battle and each prepared themselves mentally.

“Don’t tell me you’ll go alone. I know you’re strong, but you can’t handle that alone, right? Even if you could, it’ll be over faster if I get involved. Do you agree that I can’t guarantee your safety if something that dangerous runs wild?”

Kim Seong-ah said, sensing Chunhyang’s gaze.

Chunhyang looked Kim Seong-ah up and down.

“Unlike your body, your thoughts have matured.”

Even when faced with the unknown, Chunhyang smiled.

“What’s that…? Oh! You just turned me around, right? Right?”

The magical girl, who understood Chunhyang’s words too late, tried to catch Chunhyang, but she was already running forward and shooting an arrow.

The fight began with a thick arrow fired from a huge longbow, striking the enemy’s eye.
