277 Chapter 277

Black obscure smoke seemed to cover the entire sky blocking the rays of the sun while casting darkness on the earth filling everyone's hearts with terror.

Large craters whose depth can't be fathomed formed all around. Trees had been uprooted and swept away or they had been crushed into pieces.

Charred corpses of powerful being laid around the place painting a grim picture of death.

An azure halo began to pierce the smoke followed by a frightening explosion of thunder tearing the eardrums.

In the centre of the battlefield, three obscure figures appeared who had various grievous wounds all over their body.

One of them even had a hand missing while a leg was swinging loose due to strong gales.

Before them lay a red-haired woman who was pleading with them while joining her hands.

With a trembling voice, she pleaded.

"Please don't harm my child."

"Please let him leave! Please, I am begging you."With a huge belly, she stepped back in fear.

"Please have mercy."

The teary expression of the woman was enough to melt anyone's heart. Her eyes had been swollen and a river of tears drifted from her eyes drenching the parched devastated ground.

The obscure figure didn't utter anything but rather looked at the big protruding belly and raised their hand towards it making the woman flinch back with a scream.

A bright light intensified and the scene changed leaving behind the red-haired woman laying on the ground looking helpless.

Her eyes had been numb and she didn't even have tears left to shed.

Staring around with lifeless eyes she looked down.

Her eyes trembled for a moment and they started to turn pitch dark as the darkness of night which could even swallow the black hole.

Her body started to glow with a reddish glow and her eyes started to dance crazily in the air defying gravity.

Flames started to rage everywhere, and the earth started to rumble, forming deep cracks and a fierce aura outburst from her staining the entire sky with red followed by a huge illuminated explosion which was enough to shake the entire continent.

.....

"NOOOOOOO!Not Again!"

Tears trickled down from Leonard's eyes, wetting the pillow on which his head lay.

Leonardo knew he was dreaming. That scene had been his recurring nightmare for almost 19 years. It was the moment when he thought he had lost everything and he gained the curse of this never-ending nightmare that had been haunting him and eating him away.

It was impossible to stop the nightmare as no matter what he did the scenes came back to his mind no matter what.

Leonardo whose entire body was drenched in sweat suddenly moved his hand.

His expression contorted as he felt the place beside him was empty and his trembling eyes suddenly widened with an alarming look and he looked around frantically like a maniac.

"Vanessa!!" He shouted and jumped off the bed.

Every night he had nightmares, Vanessa would hold his hand and calm him down but seeing her missing after the nightmare he felt as if his heart had been pierced.

His mind became hazy in fear and he was about to shout and run around crazily when he remembered Lucas had returned.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he ran upstairs and saw that the door of Lucas's room had been opened slightly.

He slowly opened it not to make any sound and looked around to see Lucas sleeping soundly with Vanessa beside him, hugging him tightly with a sweet angelic smile

Leonard's eyes softened seeing the scene and walking toward the bed he stroked Lucas's hair lovingly.

Seeing Lucas safe and sound, all his uneasiness disappeared.

'My boy, you don't know how lucky you are. It seems you have saved the world or traded all your work to have this woman as your mother.'

'If only you know the truth and know how amazing your mother is….'

Leonard sighed with a del deprecating smoke.

Leonard shook his head to clear the unpleasant memories and bent down to give a soft kiss on Vanessa's forehead.

Not wanting to wake them up, he left as quietly as possible and sat on the couch in the living room while staring at the ceiling with a blank expression.

He had hardly seen any woman as tough as his wife. Even the world can't justify his wife's indifference, who was known as Crimson Demoness.

His and Vanessa's match was like ice and water.

He still remembered about the day that turned his world upside down.

Vanessa's pride was as high as the sky itself and she declared that if any man around her age managed to defeat her…no if any man managed to hit her, she would marry her.

Kevin and Kai fought her to prove their worth.

Alas, Kevin ended up with all his bones broken while she tore Kai's limbs and dumped him in the trash.

She always had an indifferent expression on her face and since her birth, no one had ever seen her smile.

In fact, there was a time when a bet was placed and the winner could get 10 billion if one could make her smile or get a photo of her smile.

He was only able to marry her whose heart was as hard as a diamond because he managed to hit her and gave a tough fight.

A burst of small laughter escaped from his lips as he remembered that there was no nobel in Ralph whose legs hadn't been broken by her.

She even threatens the Prince of Ralph and gone against the Emperor of Ralph many times giving him headaches.

And the woman who reigned as the strongest woman on the continent was forced to plead and cry on that day.

For such a prideful person to beg for the life of her child, only she knew what she had grown through.

It was already a miracle that she wasn't broken down by that incident, rather she had become stronger and stronger than ever waiting for the darned evil incarnation.

Thinking about it, he clenched his fist tightly.

Most of his followers were killed on that day just to protect them and he even thought that he would lose his child which made her lose her composure making her a maniac.

Fortunately, due to God's blessing, Lucas was able to survive. However, was born a bit sickly with no bloodline but it was alright.

And Vanessa was unable to conceive after that so Lucas was the only child they could have and Vanessa was so obsessed with Lucas that she would explode if Lucas disappeared for a moment.

Seeing the recent changes and increase in the number of dungeons and monsters along with demons' movement, Leonard was afraid.

He had already lost his power. What would happen if he or Vanessa disappeared and who would take care of Lucas who wasn't even awake?

Due to the stealing of their bloodline, he was a little weak compared to other ones.

So he decided to use the potion to raise the bloodline left behind by his ancestor.

But he was still worried as the bloodline potion can only raise grade when one had a little essence of the bloodline.

If one doesn't have any bloodline grade, to begin with, what can it raise when there is nothing?

But fortunately, his bloodline was raised to bronze which was more than enough for Lucas to awaken but to make Lucas go to the academy he had really suffered a tragic fate.

Since he kept his plans hidden from Vanessa, she not only disagreed but also beat him like a dog and broke every bone.

"Only I know how much suffering I had gone through to get the permission, "Leonard mutters, which almost makes him cry tears of blood.

Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction. He was not even worried when Kevin reported that Lucas had a golden bloodline.

Lucas grew up in a year to the point he was unrecognizable but even that wasn't a problem.

Lucas's rise would surely force them to leave the shadow still he had prepared for that, but the problem was bloodline ability.

"It would be okay if he had awakened Vanessa's bloodline but God played the trick again and he awakened his bloodline which many know as telekinesis and those bastards would surely snoop around him to steal his bloodline and Lucas would be on the wanted list."

"With the way he is developing, I just hope he doesn't take after Vanessa as who knows what he will do when he knows about the things that happened to us."

Though Leonard said this he wasn't able to curb his excitement wanting to see how his boy would develop.
