Chapter 225: Recurring Nightmare
Black obscure smoke seemed to cover the entire sky blocking the rays of the sun while casting darkness on the earth filling everyone heart's 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.
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."
"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.
......
Leonardo knew he was dreaming. That scene had been his recurring nightmare for almost sixteen 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 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 nearby his place was empty and his trembling eyes suddenly open widened with an alarming look and he looked around frantically like a maniac.
"Eleanor!!" He shouted and jumped off the bed.
Every night he had nightmares, Eleanor would hold his hand and calm him down but seeing her missing after the nightmare he felt as if his heart had been pierced.
He was about to shout and run around crazily when he remembered Lucas had returned.
Taking a deep breath, 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 Eleanor beside him, hugging him.
Leonard's eyes softened saw the scene and walking toward the bed he stroked Lucas's hair lovingly.
Seeing Lucas safe and sound, all his uneasiness disappeared.
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 The Demoness Of Elsinore.
She always had an indifferent expression on her face and since her birth, no one had ever seen her smile.
If fact there was a time when a bet was placed and the winner could get 1 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 as once she had declared that she could marry the one who could defeat her.
A burst of small laughter escaped from his lips as he remembered that there was no nobel in Ralph whose legs haven't been broken by her.
She even broke Warren's leg but Alexander's condition was worse, she broke his legs and hands and even pulled out his teeth due to his nature of spouting nonsense.
And the woman who reigned as the strongest woman on the continent was forced to plead and cry on that day.
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.
But fortunately due to God's blessing Lucas was able to survive and was born as a healthy baby though he seemed to have no future and he didn't even want him to go, on the warrior path.
And Eleanor was unable to conceive after that so Lucas was the only child and Eleanor 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 Eleanor 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. It was a gift from the Elf's Queen to his great-grandfather.
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 Eleanor, she not only disagreed but also beat him like a dog and broke every bone.
Only he knows how much suffering he had gone through to get the permission which almost made him cry tears of blood.
Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction. He was not even worried when Alexander 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 Eleanor'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.
Their bloodline was something that was highly sought after by those bastards because they knew the other use of their bloodline which was to control the very essence of this world which is to manipulate mana.
