Chapter 2388 Nux…?
Melia sat on a chair near the side of the room, with a straight, elegant posture, her hands rested in her lap and she…
She did not move an inch.
Tears kept pouring down her eyes, but she didn't wipe them even once. She looked like a statue made from absolute grief.
A woman whose mind had collapsed entirely.
Aeliana was standing right beside her, her eyes were fixed on the sleeping children, her pale face was even paler.
There was no other expression on her face.
In some way, she looked better than the rest of the women present here, that was until one realized the fact that Aeliana was no longer saying a word.
[Aeliana… talk to me…]
Azriel had been trying to converse with her since the moment it all began but the moment Aeliana registered Nux's death—
Her mind shut down.
She didn't even bother disconnecting the call with her father, she just… remained still… no longer reacting to anything that was happening around her and that scared Azriel more than anything else in the Universe.
[Aeliana!!]
He continued to call her, to get to her just one time, but it didn't work.
Lyriana, who was standing near Evane with one hand resting on the bedpost saw him, she saw how one of the strongest beings in the Universe was completely helpless right now but—
She didn't react to it.
Or more like—
Her mind didn't register it.
Her mind had locked itself inside the same memory, the memory when Nux claimed her and took her with him.
That was all she thought about.
That was all she wanted to think about.
Eisheth was no different, her thoughts had frozen too, her mind simply refused to admit what had happened, it didn't even register the past few hours, as if all of it was an illusion.
The Succubus was simply looking at her sleeping daughter and closed her eyes while she sat next to her.
She would sleep too.
And once she woke up—
He would be here.
She knew it.
She knew it for sure.
She knew because…
If he didn't come back…
She wouldn't be able to survive, even if it was his last wish.
And last, but not least, was Sharnoth.
She was sitting on the floor, right next to the bed, her body was still, but her fingers moved strangely against the carpet, drawing patterns that made no sense.
The cold, calculating, shrewd Sharnoth had already buried herself deep inside her mind, the wild, chaotic Sharnoth had taken over the body.
And…
She had been silent for hours.
Yes, even Sharnoth, who thought torture was a play date, who sang as she attacked her enemies, and laughed all the time at the silliest of things—
She was silent.
Then suddenly, she stood up.
For a moment, no one reacted to her, every woman had been doing their own thing all this while, without anyone interrupting anyone.
However, the moment Sharnoth walked towards the door, Evane looked at her and frowned.
"Sister Sharnoth, where are you going?"
She asked.
Sharnoth paused for a moment, then she looked at her and—
"To bring him back."
She spoke with an absolutely serious look on her face and that took Evane aback.
When had she seen Sharnoth talk without a crazy, distorted grin on her face…?
She couldn't recall.
This was the woman who faced her worst enemy with a grin so wide that it was actually concerning, even when the battle wasn't going according to how she wanted, even if she was losing—
Her smile never faded away.
Until today.
"To… bring him back…?"
Evane raised her eyebrows.
"Of course."
Evane didn't know what she was supposed to say, Sharnoth didn't care, she was about to leave when—
"Bring him back? You think this is a joke?"
Riona, who had been trying to hold herself together, for herself, for Amaya, for her son Caelum, grandson Orion, and other children who weren't exactly hers but she still treated them as her own—
She snapped.
"He is dead!"
She screamed.
"He was surrounded by the five strongest beings in the Universe, he was forced to fight them alone while every single one of us was in here, watching it happen right in front of our eyes!
It happened!
He was surrounded!
He was killed!
And he was killed right in front of our eyes!
And there is nothing you can do about it!
Get it through your head!!"
That scream got a reaction out of every single person in the room, Evane was quick to create a barrier, making sure the children did not hear what Riona said, however, as those words rang in her head, her heart squeezed, tears streamed down her eyes and this time, she couldn't hide it.
But she wasn't alone.
Riona's words refreshed the memory the women were trying to bury deep in their hearts, their tears that had barely dried up returned.
Riona herself was no different, she too, was crying as she glared at Sharnoth, as for Sharnoth—
"I'll undo his death."
She spoke with a serious look on her face.
"I will absorb Zylarith and learn how to undo his death."
She repeated.
"HAVE YOU LOST YOU—"
Her words only flared Riona's anger even further but then—
"I'll come with you."
Amaya, who was standing right beside her, spoke up as she began walking towards her.
"What…?"
Riona blinked.
"You have all lost your minds."
Ember laughed, grabbing the women's attention.
"Bring him back? From where? Do you even understand what being erased means?"
Amaya did not like her attitude—
"At least we are trying to do something."
She countered.
"Unlike you."
"Yes, of course. Trying to do something. A little late for that, don't you think? Where was this spirit when he was fighting out there alone?"
The Dragon asked in a mocking tone, the look on her face however, made it clear that she wasn't mocking Amaya, she was mocking herself.
But—
Amaya wasn't in the right state to notice that.
So she—
"You have a death wish, don't you?"
She spoke, the dark, dense devouring energy around her becoming threatening.
"I do.
What can you do about it? Fulfil it? You can't even do that, let alone bring him back."
Ember taunted, almost as if she wanted Amaya to kill her.
And Amaya—
BOOOOOOOOOM
The Devouring Energy around her exploded.
Now normally, this would be the moment where the rest of the women would have stood up to stop them.
But this time—
No one did, not even Evane.
Almost as if whatever happened didn't concern them. If anything, they were hoping for something to happen, for someone to die—
At least that way, they wouldn't be the first to go against Nux's last words.
It would give them an excuse to end themselves as well.
With that thought in their minds, some of the women actually released their own Energy, almost as if they were letting out all their built-up frustration and despair.
BOOOOOOOM
More and more energies collided.
For some reason, even when these energies collided, none of it moved towards the bed where the children were, almost as if even when their minds were broken, even as they had lost all their self-control—
The women still actively protected their children.
But—
That protection didn't seem to do anything when they themselves were about to tear each other's throats apart.
The chaos became stronger as more and more energies collided and then suddenly—
Zzzzpp
All Energies disappeared as if they had never existed and suddenly—
Lane's expression changed as she sensed something.
"Nux…?"
