Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 485 Confronting Virgil

Chapter 485 Confronting Virgil

Virgil recalled how he had laughed like a maniac on the battlefield when Luis mentioned that he had killed Nyxia.

"You now know my embarra.s.sing secrets too."

"I don't care about all that. Tell me about Nyxia. Is everything you said true?" Rudy asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.

"If mother didn't tell you, that would mean she doesn't want to tell you."

"Well, you already told me everything, so unless you want me to tell Nyxia that you told me everything, tell me everything so I won't have to tell Nyxia that you told me everything."

"You could have said it in simple words instead of making it complicated like that," Virgil remarked with a sigh.

"So Nyxia is also the cursed child, huh?" Rudy muttered. "No wonder she doted on Jane more than Rias.

"..." Virgil wanted to avoid having this conversation with Rudy as he was the last person he wanted to tell.

"And she was also the Lord? How does that work?" Rudy asked Virgil. "As far as I am aware, the blue moon people and the Lord don't get along. I don't know why but most likely an old grudge or something. So… wait…"

Rudy raised his brows and wondered, "How do I know that?"

"I… also wasn't aware of that fact. Is that true?" Virgil asked curiously.

"I am not sure, but if I am saying it… it might be true. This has happened before too. I knew about something even though I shouldn't know it."

"So if what you said is true, that explains why she couldn't be both the cursed child and the Lord at the same time. Their existence and powers contradict each other."

"Let's put that all aside for now and tell me more about what you meant by she killed the Lord inside her?"

"She used the power of the cursed child and killed the Lord's incarnation inside her."

"That's literally what it says…" Rudy muttered. "I thought she gave away her powers or something. Does that mean that the cursed child possesses the power to kill the Lord? That's actually interesting, not going to lie. I am glad Jane is in my harem."

"..."

"So, one more question. If she was the Lord all along, so would a new Lord's incarnation occur?"

"I don't quite understand your question, but I have an answer. Think of it as a… supervisor. Like, in the human world, you have ministers and presidents, but someone is appointed to ensure that the leaders are doing their job properly and not misusing their powers, am I right?" Virgil asked with a curious and confused look on his face.

"Uhh… yeah, I guess?"

"My mother was that supervisor. She had been watching over the universe and the Lord's incarnation throughout time. She witnessed everything. She was aware that she was the Lord, but she lost her senses when she was in her Lord's form.

I don't know how much did mother tell you about herself, but did she ever mention that there was one Lord who had gone berserk and wanted to rule not only the vampire world but the entire universe?"

"I think she did," Rudy nodded. "When we were in the bathhouse. She mentioned that the Lord's incarnations were always aware that they were the host, but one Lord was evil, and since then, they were no longer aware that they were the host."

"Can we go back to where you mentioned something about sharing a bathhouse with my mother?"

"Come on, how long are you going to hang up on that? Sooner or later, it will happen, and you know it."

"First, you laid your hands on my granddaughter, then you laid your hands on her sister— my other granddaughter. And now you want to lay your hands on my mother?"

"Well…" Rudy shrugged his hands while saying, "I am the Lord, and she is… ex-Lord? Don't you think we would make a fine couple?"

SIGH!

"Leave it. I don't even want to imagine that."

"You are the one who nagged. Now, what were you talking about the evil Lord?"

Virgil chuckled softly and uttered, "My mother… was that evil Lord."

"...." For the first time in a long time, Rudy was left speechless by a big reveal.

"I expected you to figure it out, but it seems that staying in the human world made your mind numb," Virgil remarked.

"Son, I just found out like two minutes ago that she was the Lord. How do you expect me to connect the dots like that?"

"After meeting my father, my mother changed. I don't know why she decided to become evil, to be honest. I had asked her many times when I was a kid, but she never told me. She would often tell me stories about her adventures, but she would always ignore my questions she purposely skipped to not answer."

"Who else knows about all this?"

"You and me, only. And, of course, my late father did too."

"Hmm~" Rudy hummed in amus.e.m.e.nt and wondered, "Where is she right now? I tried to search for her using one of my abilities, but I couldn't find her. She is alright, though, right? That Luis mentioned something about killing her. Please don't tell me that it was true."

"Of course, it wasn't true," Virgil chuckled. "Don't forget that mother is the master of illusions."

"Yeah… but that doesn't stop my worry…"

Virgil smiled bitterly and lowered his gaze as he thought, 'I guess he truly does love her.'

"Let's go to Jane now. I know you said she is handling it fine, but that doesn't stop me from worrying about her either."

Rudy and Virgil flew to the east to meet up with Jane, but it took them a while to get there. When they reached the far east, it was already too late.

Jane had already taken care of everything, and she had won the war with the help and support of the army.
