Chapter 274 (2): How Could the Family Not Fall Apart
Twilight Despair clashed with Shadow Nightmare. The two divine weapons were evenly matched, but not the wielders.
The divine messenger felt an explosive, unstoppable force that overpowered him, forcing him down on one knee for support as he raised Twilight Despair overhead, his body trembling. Large swaths of black mist erupted from his face.
“Die!” Wayne roared, pushing Shadow Nightmare down with full force. The grey tentacles surrounding him swarmed forward, forcing their way through the dense darkness and entangling the messenger’s black-robed figure.
Rip!
The tentacles cut the messenger into three segments. Shadow Nightmare overwhelmed Twilight Despair and swung down at the messenger’s head. When he dodged it, the blade cut through his shoulder instead, continuing toward his abdomen.
The tentacles snaked around the messenger’s severed body parts, lifting him into the air. White light blazed in Wayne’s eye sockets. Pure Death energy poured out like a mana tide, vibrating the air. In only a flash, the power corroded the messenger’s entire body.
Gulp! x4
Objectively speaking, the son was much more powerful than the father.
Wayne’s one-sided domination over the Darkness Knight with his masterful command over the Death Knight’s power made Celeste and Juno abandon their wishful thinking. He was the Death Knight, with no connection to a reincarnated angel.
The strange symbol on Mona’s body could be explained away. The Death Knight was human with human desires, and he captured a pure clergywoman before subjecting her to relentless taming. Since Wayne was a noble from high society, he was able to corrupt Mona with his expert techniques.
Silvia stared at her son, dumbfounded. He looked a hundred percent like the Death Knight with no trace of Nature at all. Her heart ached with melancholy. She would never get her son back.
Also, shame on the loser father for needing the son to save the day.
