Chapter 140
“Sh*t! Go away! Get out!”
The scream-like cry sounded really sweet.
“How many times do you have to come to clear your mind? Why are you so persistent?”
Cassandra was as angry as before, but in a rather drained voice, not a high-pitched voice. Even though she managed to escape through the trees, after she returned to her original form, she split into two and started running in opposite directions.
I was taken aback for a while, trying to figure out which one to follow, then followed closely behind one.
The more I dreamed, the stronger the light surrounding the maze seemed to grow. I stared at the building, which was still emitting intense light, for a moment, then gazed intently at the emerald-colored hair that was almost reachable and stretched out my hand.
Soft hair brushed past my fingertips. I spurred and sprung with more power in my legs and feet. The hair was finally caught, but Cassandra, who was supposed to scream, soon disappeared without a trace.
“Uuuhhk…”
Out of breath, I took a deep breath.
Strangely, the more I dreamed, the more this place felt like reality, and an example was this shortness of breath. Even the first time I ran blindly, I was not out of breath. I hardly felt any pain, but only felt a slight pain when I entered the cave later.
It felt like those senses were slowly waking up.
Again, I struggled with Cassandra, who had been hiding. I couldn’t figure out how to get hold of this woman. She used her illusion magic at the crucial moment, so it was a headache.
“You hide better than I thought.”
Of course, the wide maze of forests might help, but Cassandra seemed to know the terrain very well. As I took a moment to catch my breath, I saw the white building. The building that kept unknowingly caught my eye was not flashy and plain, but it kept pulling my eyes towards it.
What should I say?
Should I say I wanted to see it?
And then, why did I feel a little afraid? Was it possible to feel both longing and fear? I thought it was going to waste today, so instead of looking for Cassandra, I moved my steps elsewhere.
Lucian always woke me up at the same time, so I could roughly know the remaining time.
I entered the cave where I was chased by the giant man before. As I entered the cave I had come to with Oscar and Damian long ago, a bright light greeted me. I found the now-familiar magic crystal and examined it closely.
After looking at the blue magic contained in the transparent bottle, I glanced around.
The magic crystals that grew like stalactites were tightly packed. At that time, the reason I felt stinging when I hit the wall was because of the magic crystals that had grown on the wall. The number of magic stones increased as I went inside. The light that came out also shone more brightly.
“If I go along here, I will see that white building…”
I suddenly had doubts. Shall I go into the building that has been taking all my attention all along?
When I thought about doing it, I was able to find a strand of magical power that was whiter than that through the bright light.
“Why is the white magic…”
Because each person had their own magic color, I now knew Cassandra’s magic color exactly. Still, why did the white magic flow to this place?
Did that mean there was someone else?
I was worried while staring at the white magic. While I was curious and wanted to chase it, somehow, I couldn’t help it because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to come out if I took a step deeper.
“Oh, it’s a dream. Lucian would wake me up anyway…”
Eventually, unable to overcome my curiosity, I slowly followed the traces of the white magic and went inside. Before I knew it, I completely forgot Cassandra’s existence.
Cassandra sat down on a rock and hid herself. Rachel was so persistent that the mere thought of her showing up and chasing her every time made her nervous and afraid.
“…The ability she used at that time was definitely God’s breath.”
It was the Saintess’s ability.
The breath of God who presides over purification and healing… the ability to purify what had gone wrong and heal what was lacking.
“Even if she was the descendant of the Saintess, I can’t believe that ability will appear… because she is her descendant, if her ability were to manifest, it should have manifested immediately. So, why now?”
Cassandra was resentful.
She resented the saintess and resented God who had imprisoned her here. She spent most of her life in war. She was not afraid to sacrifice for her country. Then, she should be rewarded… why should she suffer even in death?
Wasn’t this a very unfair price?
Grit.
Unable to contain the rising rage, Cassandra clenched her teeth. Anger with nowhere to go was bound to flow to the easiest and closest person.
“Rachel… You’re not the one.”
She didn’t want to be swayed by something that wasn’t exactly Rachel. After all, she was also just an evil ghost.
Even though it was the same ghost, how could she possess Rachel’s body for so long? Cassandra, who was not the type to ponder unanswered questions, still felt that Rachel was here and stood up slowly. Squinting her red eyes, she remembered what she had to do.
“…If I can’t have it, you can’t have it either. You’re not the one.”
Cassandra closed and opened her eyes, feeling a presence. As soon as she opened her eyes, what she saw was the dreaded Black Rose.
A flower that Enzo offered to the Saintess every day.
The colorful colors falling through the cracks did not feel beautiful, but only annoying. Cassandra, who raised her body from the bed, hurriedly began to search her surroundings, not checking her condition as she normally did.
Struggling to find something sharp, she found a subspace.
“This…”
It was obviously a familiar magic. Subspace magic was a rare type of magic when she was alive, and Enzo was the first to create it. At the time of the war, subspace magic was very useful magic. She knew it very well because she had also been given a subspace pocket.
Crossing the gap and entered the sub-space, she began to rummage through the cabinet.
“Tsk, what’s with this pottery?”
Seeing nothing sharp, she broke the teacup and scratched it on her neck, but it only scratched her skin.
“Isn’t there anything like a dagger besides this one?”
While rummaging through the cabinet, she found a letter opener with a shiny emerald stuck in the black body.
Cassandra took out the sharpest letter opener, possessed.
“It’s luxurious”
Although it was a simple design, it was different with the large emerald cutting. She loved the gem so much that she immediately recognized the unusual cut.
After setting the letter opener on the floor for a moment, she hurriedly pulled out all the jewelry in her sight and put them on. The multi-stringed necklace and cluster of bracelets weighed on her wrists and neck, but she felt satisfied. Since she had to wander without a body again for a while, she wanted to enjoy everything she could enjoy even now.
“Tsk, why are you wearing this? Are you wearing a plain negligee like this while living in the Ducal family?”
While she was grumbling, someone broke into the subspace.
“Ray, were you here?”
Cassandra sensed that the moment she had been waiting for had finally arrived. The irritation that had risen because of Rachel had turned into a feeling of joy.
Yes, if she couldn’t have it, she’d have to ruin it altogether.
At the thought, her red lips curved and she squeezed the letter opener she had set on the floor.
On the other hand, Lucian unknowingly felt a strange feeling while looking at Rachel with that smile on her face. When she smiled at him, she had never given such a fake smile. She always looked at him with a warm, kind smile. Immediately grasping the situation, he was careful not to be conscious of the evil being inside Rachel.
“I brought you what you like. You should have breakfast, Ray.”
He spoke in a softer voice and reached out his hand, wanting to hold her hand though Cassandra took a step back.
Seeing this, Lucian felt a twisting pain in his stomach.
Even though he knew that the person inside was different, the only thing he could see was Rachel herself… He couldn’t take his eyes off Rachel, who withdrew from his hands. The golden eyes that were supposed to shine were dark.
The next moment, Cassandra, who had been observing him quietly, opened her mouth.
“Is it because you are a descendant of the insidious Enzo… you are also really gloomy.”
“…Give it up.”
“Ha, I knew this would happen. Last time, somehow, I felt strange.”
“It is not yours. Give it up.”
Cassandra held a sneer at Lucian, who, in an instant, denounced her with a cold voice as if he had never even once been kind.
“What if I don’t want to?”
“….”
Even knowing that she was deliberately saying things that upset him, Lucian couldn’t stay calm as usual. Cassandra stretched her lips in anticipation and placed the letter opener in her hand under her frail chin.
“Ray!”
He shouted, startled, and Cassandra opened her eyes.
“I am! Cassandra de Erland! I am an extraordinary illusionist who has accomplished feats incomparable to anyone…!”
Cassandra couldn’t contain the anger and ecstasy that boiled over. While she felt resentful, she laughed at the joy of finally being able to get rid of the saint’s descendants.
At the same time, she tightened her grip on the letter opener.
“No…!”
Lucian’s desperate voice echoed in the subspace.
