90 Earth-Shattering Momen (1/2)

WIXX was surprised when the glass where Lady Nystrom was started to crack, then the ground shook hard.

”My lord, the lady is angry,” Sentinel said, fear evident in his voice. ”I can feel it in my bones.”

”I know,” Wixx said. ”She must have seen something in her past that made her upset.”

Whenever Soleil was seriously angry in the past, she would always make the ground shake as if the earth itself was afraid of her wrath.

He didn't have his physical body right now so he wasn't sure if he could stop Lady Nystrom's anger. But he hoped his remaining power was enough. To be honest, unsealing a small portion of her old memories had almost depleted his energy.

But before my consciousness disappears, I have to make sure that she's safe first.

His thoughts were cut-off when the glass box completely shattered. He was about to jump and catch Lady Nystrom but abruptly stopped when he realized he didn't have to.

Lady Nystrom remained floating in the air, her body suddenly engulfed in black flame.

And just like Soleil in the past, Lady Nystrom's hair also started to turn darker. After all, the angrier the Supreme was, the darker her hair turned into. Once her hair colored turned completely jet-black, the temple and the other buildings around would definitely crumble.

”Sentinel, get ready,” Wixx told his servant seriously. ”We have to stop Lady Nystrom!”

LUNA was surprised when the ground started to shook hard. Worse, she also felt a strong and menacing aura that she had never felt before. For the first time after many decade, she felt fear again. What is this feeling?

”Is it just the ground or is it me shaking from fear of that menacing aura in the air?” Captain Sherwood asked. He was still kneeling on the floor but this time, his body was uncontrollably shaking. ”This is the first time I felt this kind of threat.”

The captain is right.

That was also when Luna realized that her body was also shaking nonstop.

”I need to go,” Kiho declared in an eerily calm manner. Unlike her and Captain Sherwood, the duke wasn't shaking. When he turned to her, she noticed that he had a blank look on his face as if he wasn't really himself. ”The heart is summoning me.”

”The heart?”

Kiho had never referred to Lady Nystrom as the ”heart.”

Luna gasped when she realized what was happening. Duke Nystrom is starting to awaken as the Black Serpent!

AKU just went in his palace when he suddenly felt his strength abandoning him.

The next thing he knew, he was already on his knees while his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. His heart was also beating loud and fast against his chest. He didn't want to admit this but this was the first time he felt fear again after a long while.

”Call the royal doctor and the Healing Mage!” Sir Gregory yelled at the servants of his palace that were panicking when he suddenly fell on the floor. Then, the knight got down on one knee to check on him. ”Your Majesty, what's wrong?”

To be honest, he was very embarrassed at the moment because he fell on his knees.

But that was the least worrisome thing in his mind.

Only one phenomenon could make a Moonchester like him to be forced to kneel.

”The heart is starting to awaken,” Aku said with a bitter smile. ”Is Lady Nystrom asking to be killed even before she gives birth to her son?”

TILLY was very furious.

She could literally see red and nothing else. All she heard right now was the voice in her head telling her to burn everything. And so she made her body burn to release the anger that had built up in her chest.

I must burn everything…

She was about to increase the amount of flame her body was releasing when suddenly, she felt cool arms around her waist.

It was akin to someone pouring water on her because all of a sudden, she was awake.

The room was she was in was very dark and hot. Her feet weren't touching anything and her body felt light. If she was floating, then she might not have returned yet to her current world.

My tummy feels cold.

When she looked down, she broke into tears when she saw a pair of round golden eyes staring back at her. Not only that. The young boy had also burgundy hair, milky skin, and beautiful face.

”Winter,” Tilly said in a cracked voice. Then, she got down on one knee and hugged him tight. Her baby boy's body was as cold and as soft as she remembered. But she knew that her son wasn't sick or anything. It was just his normal body temperature. He got that from Kiho. ”It's really you,” she whispered, and then she broke into sobs. ”I've missed you so much, baby.”

”Mommy,” Winter called her in his gentle voice that she almost didn't recognize. After all, in her previous life, he had stopped talking to her way before she was sentenced to death. ”I'm scared, Mommy.”

She gasped and pulled away from him. Then, she put her hands on his shoulders and looked at him with worry. ”Why are you scared, baby?”

”You're hurting yourself by being angry, Mommy,” Winter lightly scolded her. He had the same tone as Kiho whenever her husband would scold her for her bad temper. ”Please don't be angry,” he pleaded in his cute voice. Then, he touched her face gently. ”You're prettier when you're happy, Mommy.”

”Your father said I look hot even if I'm angry.”

He rolled his eyes at what she said. ”Dad spoils you too much, Mommy.”
