Chapter 199

That’s right.

She had also seen it clearly.

At some point in the past, the scene of Karl as a young boy falling into the frozen lake with a splash.

She had only seen up to that point.

“But there’s a statue of a seven-headed snake in the frozen lake.”

She knew that too.

The statue that ‘Yeon Dana’, who couldn’t swim, had clung to and endured in the lake was a snake statue.

To be precise—it was a demon whose body had been petrified after being sealed by Sun God Ramun.

The frozen lake was the place where Ramun had sealed the snake.

“When I fell into the lake, part of the snake statue happened to awaken and was moving at that time. Not all of it, but one of the snake’s heads and the tail part…”

Only after hearing that far did Dana catch on.

Come to think of it, Karl had originally been wary of snakes.

“I was attacked by that snake then.”

“…”

“The snake’s power seeped into my body like snake venom, and it’s too strong. It seems like my vessel can no longer handle it.”

Karl calmly spoke about how his body had reached its limit.

“That story got exaggerated and became the rumor you heard.”

The rumor had been greatly exaggerated, but ultimately the framework was the same.

The demon’s power that had seeped into him was killing him. That also meant Karl possessed demonic power.

In other words, Karl was excessively strong. His body was collapsing because it was beyond what a human body could endure.

‘Right, this person really is like a monster.’

Hadn’t he just shattered the 666 binding spells that had supposedly caught him in chains all at once?

Without any effort at all. Like a child breaking candy…

‘And he definitely escaped too.’

Dana was certain.

The vision of Karl she had seen on the mountain—that must have been real. That’s why the Holy Mages and executives were so frozen in place.

If he were human, he couldn’t have broken those spells so easily.

Dana thought this was rather fortunate.

“I can purify it.”

Because it was a problem she could solve.

“I can break Demon Worshipper magic. That means I can purify demonic power.”

Dana placed her hand on his forearm. She could feel the texture of his tightly packed muscles.

“I’ll purify it for you, but in exchange.”

Dana moistened her dry lips with her tongue. She was a bit nervous.

“In exchange, please lend me the Sacred Relic.”

Before, when she had proposed a trade for the Sacred Relic, Karl had become very frightening.

Sure enough, she could see Karl’s eyes immediately freeze over.

“After I revive Lord Ignis, I’ll return it right away.”

Dana hurriedly added.

“Lord Ignis died because of me. I want to bring him back to life. Uncle might not know, but he has several more intact bodies. So if I can somehow succeed in calling back his soul with the Sacred Relic… I’m not sure if it’s possible, but still.”

Dana desperately grabbed his arm and pleaded.

“He might be able to come back to life.”

Karl looked somehow displeased. Dana hastily added.

“In exchange, I’ll purify everything, everything completely clean for you. Okay?”

“…That’s problematic.”

“What?”

“The thing is.”

Karl seemed to choose his words for a moment, then shook his head as if he couldn’t find the right sentence.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

“Why not?”

“Purifying me would be very difficult. Dana is so very fragile and delicate.”

“No. I can do it.”

“What if that power hurts you?”

Irritation suddenly surged up.

How long is this person going to treat me like a child?

Well, he was the one who believed I wouldn’t even know how babies are made.

She was curious what expression he would make if she told him about her plan to have Viego’s child.

“Dana. Instead of doing that…”

She didn’t need to hear any more.

Dana immediately drew up her purification power. The power burst forth through the hand she had placed on his arm. She sent it flowing into his body. And she searched.

For the massive demonic power that must be lurking inside.

‘Where is it?’

She couldn’t find it. He had perfectly contained and hidden it away. Dana glared at Karl with her brilliantly glowing white vision.

“Hurry up.”

She urged him as if telling him to bring it out quickly. Karl looked very troubled.

“Hurry up.”

“Stop it.”

“When I’m going this far, are you still going to refuse?”

Finally, Karl seemed to accept that he was cornered.

He let out a very deep, very low sigh, then covered his face with his large hand. As if hiding, as if concealing…

“I’m really sorry.”

And then he apologized on his own.

Why is he suddenly apologizing? I’m the one pestering him like this—

The moment she thought that.

“…!”

It—that massive thing—burst forth explosively.

The black shadow that had been lying flat in hiding suddenly rose up. And like a wave, no, like a tsunami, it surged high. Endlessly, boundlessly, growing larger and larger as it rose up, up, then came pouring down over her body.

A moan escaped involuntarily.

“Ah!”

Her body immediately heated up. Her breath became hot, her fingertips trembled. Her spine tingled as a strange current flowed through it. It felt like gentle licking. That power strangely licked her entire body, held her, sucked at her…

Only then did Dana realize what kind of snake had bitten Karl.

It was the same as the snake’s head used by the Diana cult. One of the seven-headed snake—

‘Lust…’

Perhaps realizing that Dana couldn’t endure it, the power that had overwhelmed her immediately disappeared.

But Dana was already a mess.

Hah, hah, panting with her now ragged breathing, she didn’t even have the strength to straighten her waist and collapsed forward.

Karl reached out and let her lean against his chest.

“Are you okay?”

And he soothingly stroked her back.

From top to bottom, a gently sliding hand. As always, a plain hand with no sexual intent whatsoever.

But even that was a thrill to her now.

The curves of his fingers stroking her back, his broad palm were so stimulating that her shoulders trembled. Dana bit down hard inside her mouth. Heat was still pooled throughout her body.

“You’ll be fine soon.”

Karl patted Dana’s shoulder.

She wanted to tell him to please stop touching her, but it was too humiliating so she endured it. She endured it, and endured it, and…

Finally, the time when she would truly be okay had arrived.

Dana barely regained her composure.

She lifted her flushed red face. Their eyes met immediately.

Karl was looking at her with worried eyes.

“You were really startled. I’m sorry.”

“….”

“That’s why I said it wouldn’t work.”

He gently wiped her sweat-dampened forehead as he chided her.

“You can’t handle it.”

“….”

“Now you understand, right? So let’s stop talking about that. Okay?”

She had nothing to say.

It was so hard to believe.

Karl had been bitten by a snake that symbolized lust.

Like the Diana Church priests who grew stronger the more lust they felt, Karl, as strong as he was, would be stained with terrifyingly immense lust.

But where exactly was the evidence of that?

Karl Windsor was definitely not in his right mind, but sexually, he was very dry. If she hadn’t felt it directly just now, she probably wouldn’t have believed it.

But just now, she had felt it directly. It was so enormous that she couldn’t even discover it until he showed her.

‘But how can he be so calm about it?’

Karl’s composed face even looked solid at a glance. It seemed like nothing could shake him, which made her feel momentarily hopeless.

“I can do it.”

“Dana.”

“It’s just because I was startled. I can handle this much. Of course, not all at once, but step by step, little by little with purification, someday….”

“….”

“And just now… I let my purification power flow too shallowly. I only used one hand. So.”

Dana took a deep breath.

“I’ll purify you, so please lend me the sacred relic.”
