The Male Leads Were Stolen By The Extra [EN]: Chapter 106

Selonia simply repeated what McLion had told her.

In truth, she didn’t need McLion’s help.

“Seli, you…….”

McLion’s eyelids twitched as his pride was wounded.

But he was the one in need now. Having returned to normal, he still liked Selonia, and he had heard something from Reyev.

He heard that she had already figured everything out and was gathering evidence.

This was an opportunity.

A chance to restore the fallen status of the Dragon and to exact a miserable revenge on Grace, who dared to humiliate him.

He wanted to just chop off her head, but that wouldn’t be enough.

He needed to widely publicize Grace’s misdeeds and spread the word that he was the one who helped uncover the truth.

That way, he could argue that he didn’t just fall for Grace’s tricks but pretended to be fooled in order to learn the truth.

“You have nothing more to say? I’m leaving.”

Having finished her business, Selonia moved the legs she had stopped without any regrets.

“Seli!”

It was McLion who became desperate. He never thought she would cut off her ties with him so decisively.

He thought she would give him a break, considering their old friendship… Did her personality change after being exposed to the energy of a monster?

For a moment, he suspected that, but he hurriedly chased after Selonia, who was walking past him without hesitation.

“Seli, what about black magic? I’ll share everything I know. I’ll find out anything I don’t know.”

He chased after her, listing his usefulness. Reyev silently followed Selonia without saying a word.

‘That’s a bit tempting?’

Selonia was tempted by McLion’s offer regarding black magic, but she didn’t show it on her face.

“Right! Seli, Ian is strange! I feel something evil inside him!”

When she didn’t react, McLion became even more urgent and began to spill everything he knew.

In the end, Selonia stopped walking at those words.

She was sick and tired of Ian, but she couldn’t ignore the words that she felt something evil inside him. McLion and Reyev had escaped from black magic, but Ian was still under its influence.

“What’s wrong? What do you mean by feeling something evil?”

“It’s different from before. There’s something more evil than the energy of a monster in Ian’s body now.”

McLion said, relieved to see Selonia stop.

“Something evil?”

Reyev was also hearing this for the first time, so he looked at McLion with surprised eyes.

“Do you guys know that there are side effects of black magic?”

“Side effects?”

“Yes. I didn’t know I was affected by black magic, but now I understand. It seems that the side effects of black magic are progressing in Ian’s body.”

“Tell me more.”

“I heard that side effects appear when you’re exposed to black magic for a long time. It rots you from the inside out. You’re no longer human. You can’t control your reason and you move only by instinct like a beast.”

“……What?”

Selonia’s eyes widened. She felt like all her circuits had stopped due to the unexpected story.

“In the end, the body collapses and transforms into a monster with only evil left. Worse than a monster. Then, healing won’t work.”

“That……!”

Reyev, who was upset, tried to raise his voice but stopped, realizing it was not in line with his dignity.

Selonia, who had been blank-faced from shock, regained her senses and opened her mouth.

“Why only Cherville? What about you and Reyev?”

“Well, Reyev is a paladin [a holy warrior], so the progress of the side effects seems to have been slower because of his divine power, and I’m a dragon.”

Reyev’s expression twisted with disgust at those words. His arms were covered in goosebumps. It meant that if he had been late, he would have had such side effects.

“Reyev, how is the holy water going?”

Selonia hurriedly asked Reyev. She was getting impatient.

She had no intention of healing Ian because of his actions so far, but what could she do? The side effects were progressing.

“I’m sorry. Not yet…….”

Reyev lowered his head as if he was ashamed.

If the holy water doesn’t work, the only way is healing magic, but should I deliberately hurt him and force him to receive healing magic?

While she was seriously contemplating, she heard a voice.

“Selonia.”

It was a rather cold and angry voice.

Selonia, who recognized the voice, quickly turned her head and saw Ella and Tan, who had gone to the guild first, walking towards them.

He looked quite angry. His red eyes were burning even redder under the blazing sun.

It was then.

Boom!

Like a bolt from the blue, lightning suddenly flashed in the clear blue sky.

“Ah…….”

A sigh of realization escaped from Selonia’s surprised lips.

This lightning was made by Tan.

She was too close to McLion and Reyev, talking about Ian’s side effects.

Close enough for someone to mistake them for a friendly group. Like in the days when they were colleagues and friends half a year ago.

Tan, who had been waiting for her and went out to find her, must have been very unpleasant and jealous to see this scene.

“Okay, I understand, so you two go now.”

Selonia waved her hand without even looking at Reyev and McLion, dismissing them, and tried to approach Tan in one go.

But Tan was faster.

Tan, who was exuding a murderous aura, had already arrived in front of them, walking with large strides.

“Selonia, come here.”

Tan held out his hand.

Selonia turned her back on Reyev and McLion without hesitation and took his hand.

Her light body was pulled in at once.

His strong arms wrapped around her waist and shoulders at once. As if trapping her in his large arms, so that no one could touch her recklessly.

Tan, who had been looking for her because she didn’t come, was instantly swept up in tremendous jealousy.

At the sight of Selonia closely talking to McLion and Reyev very seriously.

It was just a conversation, but his heart was beating wildly as if it was going to explode. He wanted to grab the two guys by the neck, and blue veins even popped out on the back of his hand.

Why is he so annoyed?

Is it because of the memories of the past that keep flashing in his head? The sight of Selonia with those three guys, turning her back on him.

Tan wanted to get rid of the two guys in front of Selonia forever. He wanted to eliminate them so that they wouldn’t even come near her.

But when Selonia turned away from them without hesitation and took his hand, he gradually regained his stability.

It was different from the past. It was he, not them, who was by her side now.

But why doesn’t this anxiety go away? Why.

“…….”

Reyev, who felt the murderous intent from Tan, trembled and bit his lip, feeling heartbroken.

He begged to be by her side in any form, but it was still painful to see the person he liked next to someone else.

“…….”

McLion glared at Tan with fierce eyes as if to counter him.

The sight of Tan and Selonia was like a large, ferocious beast grabbing a frail animal and claiming ownership.

“What exactly are you two? This energy of a monster, I mean.”

“I wasn’t affected by black magic like you, so mind your own business.”

Selonia answered very coldly to McLion, who was being nosy.

“Seli……!”

McLion’s voice rose because he was so upset. He had begged so much, but wasn’t she too heartless?

“Go now. Let’s talk again later. First, don’t let Grace find out that the spell has been lifted.”

Selonia left those words and left the place with Tan without any regrets.

McLion and Reyev were left alone, watching her receding figure. And the man who was occupying her side as if it were natural.

“Damn it……!”

McLion cursed lowly in frustration and clenched his fist.

All his emotions had returned, but it was too late. Selonia already had someone else. A presence so great that it wouldn’t allow even a small gap.

But that presence was exuding the energy of a monster, and Selonia was also emitting the same energy, so he couldn’t just sit back and watch.

McLion thought to himself.

He had to find out the identity of that nasty guy. All of this was for Selonia.

Inside a dark and gloomy basement.

“How much is left?”

A person wearing a robe asked, looking at the altar placed in front of the altar.

“Seventy. There are thirty left.”

The subordinate who was waiting lowered his head and spoke in an orderly manner.

“It will be finished soon.”

At the answer, the man raised one corner of his mouth and stared at the magic circle floating in the air above the altar.

This large magic circle, which was showing a clear presence in the basement, was very different from before.

Evil and wicked black energy was flying around the large sphere on which the magic circle was drawn.

There were still red and small pebbles on the ornate formula filling the sphere, but now the pebbles were piled up enough to cover more than half of the formula.

There were a total of 70 red pebble-like objects. And if 30 more were collected to make 100, the inside of the formula would be completely filled.

The black magic circle, which literally made even the viewer feel eerie, was almost complete.

“Yes. The day to restore everything to its original state is not far off.”

The man looked at the book spread out on the altar with a sinister glint in his eyes.

At the end of the last page of the opened book, it was written, ‘And so the two lived happily ever after.’

The man stared at that part and closed the book.
