The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 56

"Hah... Hah... Hah..."

Six days had passed in a blink of an eye since then.

Eleona struggled to break the curse, but even with her renowned power, the ancient god's magic seemed elusive and resistant to interpretation.

"Ugh..."

Suddenly, she clutched her chest and began to groan in pain.

The intensifying darkness seemed to be overwhelming her.

She was sweating as if suffering from a severe illness, and her breathing was labored as though she had exerted herself heavily.

"I haven't finished yet... but the time is already drawing near..."

Alone in the desolate temple, she caressed a well-sealed envelope.

The letter was from Morione, suggesting they gather at the central royal road either before sunset or shortly after, as tonight was the decisive day. Thinking about the letter's content, Eleona looked up at the ceiling. The atmosphere had been gloomy for the past few days, but she could still discern the time.

The sky, from which no light permeated, indicated twilight transitioning towards midnight.

"I need to leave soon... but the curse is still..."

Before she could finish her thought, the temple's doors began to open.

"Huh?!"

Hearing the doors opening, Eleona desperately tried to hide her emotions and fixed her gaze on them.

And at the edge of her vision...

"Lady, it seems the time has come."

A man appeared. Recently, Eleona had been acting strange.

Was it the stress from the impending Night of Ruin? Lately, her demeanor had been quite different. The usual relaxed aura around her had disappeared, and her smiles seemed forced, almost as if she was hiding something.

"Lady, you seem unwell lately. If something is bothering you, please let me know."

However, despite his concerns, Eleona's replies were always vague.

"There's nothing wrong. Is it already that late? Then we should head to the royal road quickly."

She quickly changed the subject to avoid further questioning.

"Now, hold my hand. I'll teleport us to the royal road in an instant."

Despite his best efforts to find out what had been bothering her over the past six days, he had been met with her impenetrable defenses.

"Understood... then."

Following her lead, I approached and took her hand.

It was visibly sweaty but felt cold to the touch.

"Please let me know if there's anything uncomfortable. The imminent crisis is literally upon us, so now might be the only time for us to discuss it."

However, without acknowledging my words, she began to cast the teleportation spell.

"There's nothing wrong. Just get through tonight, and everything will be fine."

Although she said that to me, I couldn't shake off the feeling that she was hiding something. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a familiar place, the city's center.

However, a peculiar tower, glowing as if emitting its own light, caught my attention. It didn't seem temporary or particularly massive.

It looked more like a stage than a tower, and one could clearly see figures atop it.
