Chapter 147 - A Bloodline & The Disastrous Future (1/2)
Once Sara nodded her head, Sheila slowly narrating everything that happened to her from the moment she gained the system, experiencing many battles in the Trial Tower, meeting the goblin in the alleyways which also included the failed kidnapping case planned by Rodrick Jayson, etc. Of course, there are some other things that Sheila still keeps it as a secret for now until she saw with her own two eyes on what kind of reaction her mother would respond when knowing half of the information told by her.
As Sheila progressively deeper into the narrative, her mother seemed to be quietly listening to her without doing anything like interrupting her which she was somehow thankful yet, wonder if Sara actually knew already of everything, but by locking her eyes with her mother, Sheila was sure that this was the first time she heard about this. At a split second, she could see a shock appeared in her mother's eyes before disappearing, her mother was just too good at hiding her real emotion.
Sheila also includes the information about the Earth Dragon living in the mountain, it was the cause for Anthony recuperating in the hospital for the past few days, after all. Sheila almost stops talking when she feels like Sara was not listening to her when her mother suddenly gestures for her to continue which she complied with, the act proven to her that the latter was actually listening to her, even though it might seem otherwise.
This was further proven to her that Sara might know something regarding her situation even though it seemed like the former had just made known about it. Perhaps, Sara was also an Esper? One might agree with her since the moment her mother took the mantle for her company, she along with the company, rise to the top within a few months which brought shock to everyone witnessed. No matter how capable and genius one could be, there's no way they could do the same as what she had done. Rather than fantasy-like power like spewing fire out of one's mouth, it could be the management type of power but Sheila was not so sure about it.
When Sheila finished narrating everything, she looked up to see her mother's reaction. But what she saw was Sara staring blankly in the air as if reminiscent of the past before jolting back to reality with a sigh.
”So...it was true.”
Sara muttered softly to herself but as a sensitive person who had her sixth sense heightened, Sheila could easily pick it up without a problem. Seeing the strange look on the latter's face, Sara chuckle.
”Actually, my mother, your grandmother had told me one thing that I still remember to this day. It was the most important thing that shouldn't be made known to others, not even the family unless 'that day' came. I had thought it was just her being senile at old age but didn't think that everything she had said was real.”
Said Sara with a sad expression on her face as she remembers a wrinkle old woman laying on the bed with her seated on the side, it was the day before her mother closes her eyes for eternity. Her mother, Sheila's grandmother was bedridden by an unknown illness. She had tried looking for a cure for the illness yet, every doctor that was said to be geniuses among genius was unable to find the cause of the illness even after she had gone out of her way to find them, one by one.
Even though she was going to die, her mother didn't seem sad, far from it, she looked content instead. It was as if she didn't mind the fact that she was going to die while Sara, her daughter was worried and sad about it. On the day she got bedridden till the last day, her mother slowly narrated to her of a tale in the distant past, but Sara thought it was just another fictitious story yet she listens to it as if that was the last will from her mother.
It all began from a fail ritual due to the interruption from a third party. The girl traversed the unknown world filled with curiosity and was met with all kinds of peril situation yet, with her capabilities, there was nothing that could bring risk to her life, not even the volcano eruption so long as she was prepared for it. From her long journey, she met all sorts of things and even the resident of the unknown world. The girl was surprised to see a person no different than the people in her world yet they are unmistakable the resident of this different world. They were called Humans.
Although the girl was caught with all kinds of trouble due to her slowly aging to the point she was brand as an evil witch, the humans of this world were unable to do anything to her with their measly cold weapons. When the girl had gone into hiding, at least until everyone started forgetting about her, she ran into trouble that still exists to this day. Due to the instability in the space around the Earth, a spatial crack would appear somewhere around the world at random time and places, either with nothing or brought destruction along with it.
