Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 379 Blessings of the Blue Child

Chapter 379 Blessings of the Blue Child

"Do you know why or how I know everything?" Nyxia asked with a judging look on her face.

"How…?!" Jane's eyes widened as she suddenly gasped in realization. "Don't… tell me…"

A sudden gust of wind swayed the desert's sand, the tree's leaves, and Jane and Nyxia's clothes and hair.

"I am also a blue moon child, born under the blue moon."

"Wait… how? I don't understand. If you are also the same as me… then why is your hair not white like me?" she asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Oh, I had white hair for the first six thousand and ninety years of my life. I was already well known in the human world before I came to this world created by the Lord. Then one night, I had a dream and found myself in this place.

I was surprised. I was sure it was a dream, but everything felt so real. The same breeze, even the light coming from the blue moon. That's when I realized I was dream walking, and someone or something had pulled me into this place.

I was fairly strong and knowledgeable at that time and… well, arrogant too. I tried to leave this place but I couldn't. I can't remember how many nights I spent in this place. I would randomly wake up in the vampire world and continue my day, but whenever I slept, I was here.

I was afraid of this place. I was scared of sleeping. It had become an absolute nightmare for me. And… I ran out of patience and called whoever was doing this to me. And then it appeared.

A colossal cloaked figure with a scythe in its hand. I was so furious that I only cared about the answers. The figure didn't say anything but led me to this place and made a cut on my hand.

A blue fruit tree sprouted from my blood, and I was in the same state as you. Attracted to its scent, my thirst increased.

I was asked to eat the fruit and gain a vast knowledge of the world that surpa.s.sed all. I gained unparalleled wisdom. I knew everything. From the creation of the universe to the time I ate the fruit. I saw all the past events and what had truly happened.

I didn't see the future or would have known things and prevented it. Perhaps, that's the reason the future can't be seen.

The knowledge I gained helped me rise to the pinnacle. I became the wise sage to the mad Queen. I was reborn the night I consumed the blue moon fruit. And I have to admit, I don't regret eating it.

However, that's because I was alone. I had no family or friends, no one to talk to. I wanted attention. I wanted to love. And that's why I embraced the role of the cursed child. It was truly a long, painful journey mixed with suffering.

But, you have a choice, Jane. You have a family who loves you. You have friends to protect you. And most of all, you have a lover who cherishes you dearly. You don't have to become the cursed child. You don't need to fulfill the role of the child of the blue moon.

Live your life the way you want. Don't become the slave to fate."

Nyxia stated in a calm voice with a gentle smile on her face.

"What will happen if I eat the fruit?" Jane asked in a neutral tone.

"You will gain knowledge and wisdom more than me. You might even surpa.s.s Virgil and become the strongest vampire alive. However, everything comes with a price. If you accept the blue moon fruit, you will become the Queen of the blue moon.

You will have to fulfill your duties and end the reign of the Lord— which you know is your lover. You might think you will eat the fruit and ditch your duties, but that won't work. You will be forced to comply. Your powers will be used to bring calamities everywhere.

To put it in simple words…"

Nyxia stared into Jane's eyes and continued, "Willingly or unwillingly, you will become the Lord's enemy. And this is not something new. History is repeating itself. Now, you have to decide what's more important to you; the unfathomable power or Rudy."

"..." Jane looked at the fruit in her hand and pondered.

"I chose the fruit as I had nothing to lose. I had already lost everything," Nyxia said in a low voice.

Jane moved the fruit close to her mouth and crushed it in her fist.

"I don't even need to think for a second. Rudy is always the most important to me. I don't care about power or fame. Even if I lost everything, I would be content as long as I have Rudy!"

Nyxia smiled at Jane and said, "Well done, my cursed child."

She held Jane's face in her hands and pulled her cheeks before saying, "You broke the curse, so I guess I can no longer call you the cursed child. Tonight, you have been reborn as a new person, as the wife of Rudy."

"I don't think I have ever heard you call Rudy by his name…" Jane muttered.

"Don't tell him that I called him by his name."

The blue moon tree suddenly caught fire and slowly turned into ashes.

"Let's hope it doesn't grow again like earlier…" Jane muttered.

"It won't. You rejected the blessings of the blue moon. You are a free bird… or should I say 'free bat' now," Nyxia scoffed softly.

"That's something Rudy would say," Jane chuckled.

"I know, right!"

"Wait…" Jane raised her brow at Nyxia and asked, "Since when did you and Rudy get close to each other. I can surely see you have been influenced by him. So what's going on?"

"Whatever do you mean? That's how all humans are." Nyxia told a blatant lie to hide her immoral relations.h.i.+p with Rudy.

"Say, did you also hear that loud drum sound?"

"I did."

"And how do you know Rudy is the Lord? Did Grandpa Virgil tell you?"

"No. I already knew it. And keep this a secret, but Rudy isn't actually a Lord."

"Huh?"

"He is something more powerful than the Lord."

A/N- Who had seen that coming? I am talking about Nyxia being all knowledgeable because of the fruit (Before I hinted in the previous chapter).
