Chapter 492: You Don’t Deserve This
Chapter 492 You Don’t Deserve This
In the eerie stillness that followed Agonon’s revelation, the air itself seemed to pause, waiting for the world to realign under the weight of his words, "It’s me...mother."
His voice, a gravely echo from the abyss, carried both the torment of his transformation and the undeniable truth of his identity.
It was a sound that reverberated through Lysandra’s very soul, a beacon of hope amidst the despair that had enveloped her world.
Tears, born of countless nights of sorrow and longing, welled up in Lysandra’s eyes, blurring her vision as a trembling smile, tinged with both joy and heartache, blossomed on her face.
His voice wasn’t the same as she remembered and there was something different about not only his voice but even his eyes. But she wasn’t surprised after looking at what happened to him.
With a muffled cry that was both a lament and a celebration, she closed the distance between them, her arms encircling the nightmarish figure that was her son.
Her embrace, a mirror to a mother’s unconditional love, sought to bridge the chasm that Agonon’s ordeal had wrought between them.
Agonon’s initial stiffness melted under the warmth of her touch, his arms wrapping around her awkwardly.
Yet, unbeknownst to Lysandra, it was not her son who returned her embrace but Asher, whose consciousness now animated Agonon’s transformed body.
Meanwhile, Asher’s true body remained in a state of suspended animation, a shell devoid of consciousness.
He had come to learn that he could personally control his damned slaves by transferring his consciousness to their bodies.
But this would mean he would be unable to use his body during that time and would be left vulnerable.
He also wouldn’t be able to use them for too long since the mana consumption becomes ridiculously high if he controlled them and they already didn’t have a large mana pool once they came out.
He had to resort to this since he felt that to really convince Lysandra that her son was alive, he had to take control of Agonon’s damned form and use his memories to pretend to be Agonon and copy his mannerisms.
Otherwise, she would quickly realize that she was looking at an empty shell of what was once her son if she didn’t feel any life or emotions from Agonon’s damned form.
He didn’t want to roleplay as her son, but he couldn’t think of any other method to convince her since Lysandra wasn’t an easy woman to fool.
If she even got a slight hint that her son’s soul was gone, then she might even support Drakar to destroy the Bloodburn Kingdom out of revenge. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
However, Lysandra’s embrace of Agonon transcended the boundaries of time, each second stretching into eternity.
