His Devious Harbinger: How To Tame A Wicked God?

Chapter 215: Mother is beautiful

Chapter 215: Mother is beautiful

Misaki manages to escape the thousand-eyed beast. However, she has no idea where she is.

"Am I in the past or the future?" She frowns deeply. It seems that she used her time-travelling ability in panic. 

The air is pulsating with thick energy. Misaki could sense the turbulent dark ehr. Chaos had told her about Iravan. So, she's not surprised to sense the strong magic. But her veins can't absorb the magic in the air. She's actually a wahr. 

Since she hasn't found a spirit, her channels can't absorb magic.

But she has other abilities. Travelling in time is one of them. Chaos had trained her to use it efficiently. 

However, she hasn't expected to come to this strange place.

The castle is there, but it's empty. She could sense that there's no one in the vicinity. The afternoon sun is blazing in the sky. Why does it feel odd though?

Misaki looks around. There's no sign of any creature. The lands are barren and dry, uneven and rough. She wonders what era it is. Did she go too far back in time?

Messing with time has repercussions. And she did mess with it occasionally. In the past, she might have caused a war or two, spread chaos, brought bad luck to the countries where she had been living with Chaos. It had been fun until she saw what her actions did to those people. But she wasn't able to fix anything. The more she messed with time, the crazier it went. That's when Chaos told her that she couldn't be a hero. There is no way for a face of Chaos to be a saviour. 

She takes a deep breath. Was she too hurtful toward her mother? She wanted her mother to go away from her. Her mother became a forsaken creature because of her. Maybe something worse could happen to her mother if she stayed close to her mother. It was better to be hated than be a cause for her family's doom. 

"Mother is beautiful," She mumbles to herself as she makes her way into the empty castle. Chaos had told her a lot about her mother. She was exactly like how Chaos described her. Though Chaos didn't like her mother, she didn't exactly hate her either. There was always some respect in Chaos' tone when she told her about Ari Takayama, the Abyss' Avatar. 

"She's so cool!" Misaki squeals when she recalls how her mother called her a brat. "She's cooler than anyone I know." 

Her mother is impressive cooler than her father. 

"I should have let her hug me." Misaki finds herself walking in the corridor. She stops in front of a picture of her father. She stares hard at it for a moment. "Did Chaos paint this picture?"

Chaos had told her about what happened before the war. His father had loved Chaos dearly once. But his heart only belongs to her mother now. Chaos wasn't upset about it. 

In the last ten years, Chaos has been good to her. She had imparted all the knowledge to her. Whether it's about healing techniques or rune magic, Chaos had taught her everything. The problem is that she doesn't have a magic source. She needs to make a contract with a spirit or a beast to have access to magic. So far, she hasn't been able to find the spirit who is meant for her. 

Maybe she will find it here. 

It turns dark all of a sudden. Misaki narrows her eyes, puckering her lips. Is someone here? 

She hears a loud scream. 

Furrowing her brows, Misaki runs in the direction of the scream. She keeps herself hidden. From the hiding spot, she sees her father.

He's trying to kill a girl with golden eyes.

"..." What's going on?

She knows that she can't make her presence known to him. He seems to be fully concentrated on the girl. 

"Kyo"

Why is this girl calling her father with a wrong name? Misaki frowns, but she keeps watching the scene that is unfolding before her. The runes attack her father's arm. Still, her father can kill the girl. But he pulls his hand back.

In the next instant, her father's appearance changes. He turns into a boy who looks to be around eighteen or nineteen. His arm is completely cursed. 

Misaki is appalled. In the next few minutes, she figures out what is happening. Her mother transmigrated into Chaos' mortal body once. This girl is her mother.

She hides before they can notice her. Then, she peeks at them. Her mother is checking her father's arm. The love between them makes her smile. 

Chaos is right. Her father and mother are meant to be with each other. 

Growing more curious about her parents, Misaki continues to follow them. It's difficult to keep hidden from the thousand-eyed spirit beast. But Chaos had taught her a few tricks. She uses the talisman with concentrated ehr to cast a spell that keeps her undetected by her mother and the spirit beast.

They reach Cnaeris waste. Misaki widens her eyes when she sees her mother trying to create a hole in the ice.

"Mother is a little crazy," Misaki gasps. 

After her mother and everyone else go to the underground realm, she takes a step toward the hole. Just then, she feels immense pain in her head.

"Ugh!" Misaki grabs her head. It feels like her head is splitting apart. Blood trickles down on her lips. Misaki hears the distant cries. When she looks around, she finds herself alone.

Who is screaming?

But the painful howls don't stop. Misaki drops on the ground, writhing on the cold ice. Her screams join the howls as she disintegrates with the wind. 

Something is being pulled away from her soul. An invisible claw is gnawing on her chest, tearing away the flesh. But there's no wound except for the blood that is leaking out of her nose.

The agony is unbearable. She cries out in pain, hoping someone would help her. 

Misaki finds herself in front of the Dark Castle again. A tall figure shadows her. When she looks up, she sees her father. 

"Don't resist." Her father places his hand on her eyes. "It will be over soon."

What is happening to her? Misaki sobs. A cool sensation spreads in her veins as the pain dissipates away. She falls asleep in no time.
