I’m Trying to End This Possession Chapter 168

Dana had never known that hands could be such sensitive parts capable of feeling so much. No. I can’t. If she rejects him now, everything she had planned would go up in smoke. So she endured it with all her strength.

 

Her fingers were once again sucked into Carl’s mouth. The ticklish and slippery sensation. It was just her fingers, yet why did it send chills down her spine? Dana barely managed to keep her toes from curling up in response.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

Again, with the words of reassurance.

 

Dana almost said it was enough, but she held it back. If she messed up here, she’d be a fool. A complete idiot. So Dana just cried. As if she was even more terrified, just like this wasn’t enough.

 

At that, Carl hurriedly lowered his head, as if to soothe her. It was the moment he was engrossed in the act again.

 

“…!”

 

Suddenly, he felt a stiffening at the top of his head. Carl intuited it. Something fast, like a beam of light, was charging towards him. But it was nothing serious. He thought he could dodge it. Of course he should avoid it.

 

All he had to do was roll back with Dana in his arms to dodge it. Although it was a split second, it was neither difficult nor impossible for him. But as he moved, a massive dizziness struck him like lightning.

 

And in that moment, a sharp pain brushed against his finger. His left hand, which had been on the ground, to be exact, his middle finger. It throbbed with a burning pain.

 

When Carl looked down, he found it immediately. His finger, cleanly severed. From the freshly cut end, blood gushed out…

 

The moment he recognized it, red afterimages flared up before his eyes like lava. And just like wildfire, Dana was flung away from his body.

 

“…!”

 

He couldn’t stop it. Carl’s body was violently thrown backward. A cracking sound, like something breaking, surged through him with intense pain.

 

“You b*stard.”

 

Blade… A dagger had pierced through his abdomen.

 

Carl was dumbfounded. It was the first time in his life he had received an attack so helplessly. Why couldn’t he dodge this?

 

“I told you.”

 

Stab. The dagger plunged even deeper.

 

“I told you, I’d kill you.”

 

The dagger was truly piercing through his stomach with that intent.

 

Carl grabbed the wrist of the attacker, Ignis, but for some reason, he couldn’t muster any strength. Could it be because of the spider venom?

 

No. That can’t be. He was nearly immune to poison. A mere paralyzing venom like that wouldn’t—

 

“Enough!”

 

At that moment, Dana’s shout was heard, and Ignis stepped back. Dana had pulled him away.

 

It’s dangerous, Dana! Carl wanted to shout those words. But then,

 

“Lord Ignis, that’s enough.”

 

Carl’s lips parted.

 

“It’s over now, so stop.”

 

Uh. Uuh, only strange sounds came out.

 

Carl blinked in complete disbelief. It was a shock separate from the fact that he couldn’t muster any strength in his body. What is this? Dana.

 

Just a moment ago, Dana had been crying, paralyzed by the poison.

 

“Let’s go quickly.”

 

She was standing up perfectly fine, speaking. And in her pretty hand…

 

“Come on, let’s go.”

 

A finger was held there. His finger, wearing the deputy head’s ring. Dana holding his severed body part was a grotesquely mismatched sight.

 

Dana, your hands shouldn’t hold such things. He wanted to say that, but the words wouldn’t come out.

 

“Dana.” Carl only managed to call her name. Fortunately, his lips still moved properly. He asked her, “Are you okay?”

 

At that moment, Dana glared at him with fiery eyes. There seemed to be a sad look, as if she was holding back tears in her eyes.

 

“Of course, I’m fine.”

 

However, as if mocking his misconception, Dana coldly sneered.

 

“I’ve already taken more than enough antidote.”

 

Dana was seething with anger. Even at this moment, Carl still looked at her with concern, and she couldn’t stand it. So she deliberately shouted, “I researched it, you know. According to the research, the paralysis toxin of the red spider becomes 50times more toxic when consumed with wine.”

 

She hoped her words would tear him apart. Hoping that would shatter his façade.

 

“It’s a recent study, so you wouldn’t know. Do you have any idea how hard I worked to find something you wouldn’t know on purpose?” Then she laughed maliciously. “So, even a monster like you will have trouble moving for a while, Carl Windsor.”

 

And Ignis had also coated the dagger with a deadly poison, just in case. So, Carl Windsor was completely caught in the trap. It was a trap meticulously crafted by her and Ignis together.

 

To ensnare Carl, Dana clung to him, whispering sweet nothings of affection. She pretended to love him as if she would devote her entire life to him. No, she even hypnotized herself into believing she loved him. At certain moments, she felt as if she truly did love him. Because he was the kind of person who could only be deceived that way. The effort was worth it. After all, she had succeeded like this.

 

Suddenly, Dana felt like bursting into laughter. It was because Carl really had a stupid look on his face. Oh my, what is that? That expression, that face, still unable to accept reality. It seemed Carl still didn’t understand.

 

“It’s not a dream, Uncle.”

 

He seemed to be under the illusion that he was in a nightmare. No, he believed this was a nightmare.

 

“This is reality, Uncle.” Dana gave that pathetic fool a bright smile. “Carl Windsor. You were fooled by me.”

 

Did he finally realize it? Carl’s green eyes trembled as if they were about to shatter like glass.

 

Dana felt a chill run through her at his reaction. It was as if every hair on her body stood on end. It was out of anger.

 

At this moment, Carl was hurt. It was glaringly obvious. And Dana felt like she was going to lose her mind with rage. How dare he get hurt by her? Someone like him dares to be getting hurt by her?

 

“So, we have to ensure her premature death.”

 

Who was the one who said that? The one who carefully deceived her, pretended to love her, and finally decided to kill her?

 

Fine then. Dana retorted even more venomously. “I really hate you.” She looked him straight in the eyes. “I really hate you, Uncle. You’re such a disgusting person.”

 

Tears welled up in Carl’s eyes, ready to burst at any moment. She found it revolting. Why does he keep acting until the very end?

 

“Let’s go.” Dana turned away, grabbing Ignis. “Let’s go, Lord Ignis. Hurry—”

 

“Don’t go.”

 

At that moment, Dana hesitated. But she didn’t look back.

 

Carl whispered faintly. “Dana. Don’t go. I’m sorry…”

 

For a moment, she felt as if her heart was crumbling. She couldn’t bear the pain. Why should she feel this pain? It must be because I’m angry. Yes, because she’s so angry that it feels like her heart is breaking.

 

All the time she invested felt wasted because of him. That devil, who tried to bewitch her until the very end, is detestable.

 

Swallowing all her hatred, Dana reached out her arms to Ignis. “Let’s go quickly, Lord Ignis.”

 

Without a word, Ignis lifted her up and ran swiftly.

 

Was it just her imagination? It seemed like she could hear Carl’s faint sobbing from behind. It clung to her persistently, echoing.

 

Don’t go. Dana. I’m sorry.

 

I was wrong…

 

I hate it. She didn’t want to hear it. She didn’t want to be deceived anymore. And she didn’t want to be hurt again. Please. Please, let it all end here. Without being tested anymore, let it all be over.

 

Don’t go.

 

Ah, I wish I had gone deaf.
