I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

217 – Hero (1)

“aaah!!”

“Oh…”

Lilia and Ivar continued to fall after entering the letter. After falling for several minutes, Lilia’s screams became hoarse, and Iva could only quietly express her admiration.

It was a completely white space. There was no stain whatsoever, so there was no way to distinguish between areas. So I didn’t know if the fall was repeating the same area or if it was really falling straight down.

What I do know is that it is a very mysterious magical space.

The fall that seemed like it would never end ended with me hitting the pure white floor that was the same as the wall. Despite the falling energy accumulated from the previous fall, the pain upon landing ended with only a slight bump on the buttocks.

“It’s fascinating…”

It was a truly amazing space.

“W-what?! Sudden deal? But it’s over? Huh?”

Lilia held her head in confusion. The intelligent eyes went round and round. My dizzy head from repeated falls did not give me time to judge the current situation.

“Anyway, I came so it doesn’t matter!”

In fact, what was confusing was the same thing with Iva. His eyes were spinning. But Ivar was more happy than confused. So I wasn’t embarrassed like Lilia.

Grasp reality? Where do you use that? All you have to do is beat the wise man right now and learn from her how to return to being human.

“Don’t worry too much Lilia.”

Iva smiled sweetly as she held Lilia’s hand. Lilia felt that smile was more embarrassing than this reality. Benevolent and sacred. I felt a softness from him, like the smile of a saint.

Where has the usual decadent and cynical smile gone? How happy is it that you passed the ordeal and your face causes errors?

Lilia was dizzy for a moment, but soon became convinced.

‘Yes, it’s natural to like it.’

Isn’t this an opportunity to meet the wise man I have been longing for? The greatest intellectual of all time and world who knows all the answers.

The only one who knows how to turn from a devil to a man. I’m on the verge of achieving the dream I’ve wanted for so long.

“Hehe, yes. I’m happy.”

Lilia looked at Iva and raised the corners of her mouth happily. He was happy, so for some reason I felt proud.

Of course, it wasn’t that I wasn’t happy because it was her.

“I too can listen to Master’s will.”

The teacher’s will was to deliver his letter to the wise man. For him, Lilia sets off on a journey. And like this, we have reached a situation where we are on the verge of achieving that goal.

Moreover, she becomes the first person to reach the level of sage since her teacher Akera. How much honor will you get from that fact alone…

If you use that fame to publish an autobiography, it will definitely sell like hot cakes.

Purpose, fame, money, everything was in my hands. This is the moment when Lilia, a genius girl who was already not envious of others, became even more envious of others.

“…It was long.”

Lilia thought about the trip. From the city we first arrived at, the desert where we experienced our first trials, the forest where we met Iva, the city on the sea, Innis’ hometown, the elf forest, the Holy Kingdom, etc…

I explored so many cities. A trip that was both long and short. In particular, the density of time was high after taking Iva in as a servant.

It seems like I’ve been with him for more than several years, but we’ve been together for less than a year.

“Hehe…”

I realized that humans are truly evil creatures. I can’t even think of any witch classmates, juniors, or seniors I’ve been with for several years. He has now taken over most of her heart.

“But where is the wise man?”

Iva looked around impatiently. The world was all white, with no structures or decorations, so it felt empty at first glance. Of course, there was no wise man in sight.

[You knew yourself through trials.]

At that moment, the wise man’s voice rang out from all directions.

She spoke of the significance of the ordeal.

The ordeal of a wise man is to realize oneself. Therefore, the experiences you see and experience there and the people around you are more important than the place.

[I found how to look at others, how to look at the world, my own heart, its purpose, and the meaning of life.]

Most people don’t know themselves. They don’t have the courage to face their inner self, so they turn away.

Unable to look at the ugly and dirty self, get rid of the bloated ego and look at the naked body inside, you turn away.

But they succeeded. I took courage and knew myself.

During my trip, I gained unforgettable and valuable experiences and an opportunity to grow myself. So there is no point in further journey.

I overcame all the trials.

[Now that I know everything about you, it’s time to know what you want.]

What they will have in return is knowledge that no one else in the world has. Answers to unanswered questions.

[Now, tell me what you want.]

The more Ivar heard those words, the more he frowned.

“Wait a minute, but why are you talking without showing your face?”

“Now, wait a minute, Iba… You are so rude to the wise man…”

“Disrespect? “That b*tch is being rude right now and she’s not even showing her face.”

“Ugh…”

Lilia, who did not know that Iva had a close relationship with the wise man, felt a little uneasy at his blunt tone. I cringed slightly at the thought that the wise man might get angry at the insulting words and hold off on giving an answer.

However, the wise man could not protest Iva’s insulting words. It was because of her original sin.

[Haha, sorry. It’s rude not to show your face when you’re clearly having a conversation. Yes, you are right.]

“Why was your tone so rude earlier?”

[Haha, that can’t be helped. If you want to appear authoritative, wouldn’t that kind of speaking style be the way to go? It is a system that automatically speaks to those who succeed in the trial and reach the tower…]

“I understand that. Show me your face quickly. Let’s talk eye to eye.”

The first warrior and wise man brought the Demon King down to Earth, and as a result, Iva’s world turned into an apocalypse where magic lives.

Even if it wasn’t what the wise man originally intended, it was definitely a mistake. A sinful person has a mouth but cannot speak.

Wordless and silent. By following that rule, the wise man could not open his mouth even to Iva’s rudeness.

[But unfortunately, that is impossible.]

It should have been that way. The wise man rudely commented on Iva’s opinion.

“What?”

[Oh, no, it’s not that I didn’t show up on purpose, but…]

“Be honest. “Are you doing that because you’re scared of getting beaten up by me?”

[That’s not even true.]

“Jukbang?!”

Lilia was surprised. Surely the reason you wanted to meet the wise man wasn’t to beat him?

That was indeed the case.

Lilia would never have dreamed that the assumption she made through hyperbole would end up being beaten in half. Lilia, who correctly guessed the reason, swallowed dry saliva.

[Because I am already dead.]

“Hi!”

He was surprised by the wise man’s answer and hiccuped.

“Lord, you’re dead?!”

I couldn’t understand. Wasn’t the wise man a person who realized the answer to immortality and was sitting alone in a tower? If he died in the first place, how can we talk like this now?

As her imagination continued, Lilia thought of puppeteers who abandoned their bodies and completely settled on dolls.

Just as Morbe was like that and Aranea was like that, there is no reason why the wise man should not be like that too. No, he would have tried more actively.

[After the fight with the Demon King, the demon energy that saw into my body ate me up.]

Because, literally, the body is dead. Because only the body is dead.

[I got closer to death every day. But I still had work left to do. So, I abandoned my body and confined only my consciousness inside this tower of consciousness.]

Only the consciousness was extracted and sealed. So that we can continue to exist in this world even without a body.

[And I made the most of my connections, magic, and knowledge to create an unforgettable legend. The legend of a wise man who knows everything.]

The eyes of a non-existent wise man seemed to sparkle.

[So that whoever I want can come to me on their own…]

Iva recoiled as if she felt uncomfortable as if she were being stared at.

[Of course, it’s not such a false rumor. This tower can gather all kinds of information in the world.]

The wise man chuckled. That faint sound of laughter echoed throughout the white space. A very desolate and empty space. Even though the temperature was perfectly controlled, Lilia felt a little chilly.

Lilia asked, stroking her slightly goosebumps on her arm.

“…Where is this tower?”

[This tower is built on the deep consciousness of humans.]

The reason why the ordeal of the wise man can be heard anywhere in the world.

The reason why the details of the ordeal only resonate in my head.

Why the content and location of trials differ depending on the person. The reason why trials can occur over time even in the same place.

It’s right here.

[It is a tower created by remodeling the demon of consciousness and creating a place where everyone’s consciousness gathers.]

The wise man did not hold the world in his hands and manipulate it. The only thing she can control is human consciousness.

Consciousness varies greatly from person to person. That is why trials have wildly different habits. Trials are given when there is a place and meaning to that person.

It is to project that voice directly into their consciousness.

“Wait a minute, if it’s consciousness, are we also just transferring consciousness? Fucked. If I sleep, the village will be in chaos…”

[No, you even moved your body.]

“So the other kids are worried. “You crazy wise b*tch, how dare you give our children something to worry about?”

[…

Iva reprimanded the wise man. No matter what answer the wise man gave, it was going to be rejected. It was like a kind of guard disablement. No matter how much insurance you take out, they will find fault with you somehow and criticize you. That was Iva’s way of speaking as a great sage.

The wise man smiled without saying anything. She was a person who knew her sins well.

“Yeah, that’s right. Let’s get out quickly.”

Lilia, who sensed a creepy atmosphere in this space, agreed with Iva’s opinion.

“Well, then you have the right to ask us anything?”

[Okay then.]

“Please tell me how to turn Iva back into a human!”

The wise man answered the question cheerfully.

[Then don’t just tell me! Eva, is there someone you personally hate?]

“…? “Why is that suddenly happening?”

[It is necessary to return to being human.]

For a moment, Iva felt an uncontrollable sense of anxiety. He asked with a trembling voice.

“So why do you need someone else there?”

[You have to transfer the devil part of you to that person.]

The wise man’s answer was beyond his expectations.

“…What?”

[So, so that you can return as a human, you must transfer your demon power to another person.]

Ivar was silent for a moment. Lilia looked at him anxiously. Iva’s expression was unusual. It was the exact opposite of the benevolent face I saw earlier.

“…For me to become human, someone else has to become the devil?”

[That’s what I’m saying.]

If you want to become human, you have to sacrifice someone else.

The wise man said so.
