Capítulo 816: That’s Kiernan
Crack!
Bella dropped the plate in her hand, and it shattered into a few dozen pieces in the floor.
She was trembling like a leaf in the wind.
“…No… You are dead…”
Bella held her head.
“…Wait, you can also see him?”
Karma asked with a frown, and this ti around, his expression turned to anger, and he asked angrily.
“Who are you? What kind of skin demon are you, and how dare you take my son’s appearance, you bastard?”
“Wait, it’s really … Mom… Dad…”
Kiernan said with his voice trembling.
“No, you aren’t! You can’t be… You are dead…!”
Karma scread, lunged at Kiernan, and brought his fist forward.
“Iron Smash!”
“Rendering Edge!”
Kiernan parried the strike, which should be impossible because he was Unranked, and yet, because of his new mastery over martial arts, impossibility had beco possibility.
“…What…?”
Karma teared up and cried.
That “Rendering Edge” technique was the real deal, and it was definitely a real technique of Iron Styles.
He had also learned that technique, and he knew just how difficult it was to use at high level, and even he wouldn’t be able to use it this well.
There was only one person who could.
And that person was his son.
“No! You are dead!”
Bella broke down in tears, grabbed her head, and scread, but in that mont, Kiernan hugged her tightly.
It was proof that he wasn’t so ghost or fragnt of their imagination.
“…Rember in Nightingale… When you saved from that cave? It’s really , Mom…”
Kiernan said, and Bella cried into his chest, and she felt extrely feeble in his arms as if she were suddenly a child again.
“Y-you… can’t…”
Karma fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
While still in disbelief, Bella pinched Kiernan to make sure that he was real. Pinching from face, pinching from shoulder, pinching from arm, and then she pinched his hand.
It was real!
“Waaah!”
Bella burst into tears, and she wrapped her arms around Kiernan’s neck and pulled him into her bosom.
She was hugging him so tightly, afraid that he would disappear.
“…Son?”
At that mont, Karma stumbled at Kiernan and touched him on the shoulder. It felt real. And then he hugged him tightly from behind, tears streaming down his face.
…
“…A strange man ca from a flying ship? Are you sure you weren’t dreaming, Ellie?”
Baru asked with a laugh.
“I was not dreaming! He really ca with a flying ship, and he ca to see mom!”
Ellie said.
“Could he be a bad guy?”
Daisy asked.
“I don’t know, but I am going to tell mom!”
Ellie said.
She knew that her mother wouldn’t be at the farmhouse at this ti and knew that she should be over at the small garden she was tending.
They arrived at the garden and saw Aoi sitting on the ground surrounded by flowers, her hands dirty from planting.
“Mom!”
Ellie ran straight to her.
“What is it, dear?”
Aoi asked in surprise.
While on the island, Aoi thought about helping the village people a little and decided to take care of the garden while she stayed here.
“Soone ca to see you!”
Ellie said.
“…Really? Who?”
Aoi asked in surprise.
“I don’t know, but he said that he is your friend, but I didn’t recognize him. He ca with a flying ship!”
Ellie shouted.
“…A flying ship?”
Aoi raised an eyebrow, took off her gloves, and got up to follow Ellie.
…
“Mystery Eye!”
Bella touched Kiernan’s forehead, went through his mories over in Dead World, and when she was done, she again teared up.
“My poor boy…”
She hugged him tightly, while Kiernan just wryly smiled, as he didn’t think he had been hugged this much in his entire life.
Karma was standing with his eyes red and puffy. He was still in a state of shock and disbelief.
He believed that once he blinked his eyes, he would be gone again.
“…Aoi and Ellie are here. I’ll take you to them!”
Bella said in a hurry.
“I already t Ellie.”
Kiernan said.
“Really? How did she react?”
Bella asked.
“…I didn’t tell her that I am her father. She would probably think that I am so crazy stranger, so I wanted to et Aoi first.
“She wasn’t here, though.”
Kiernan said.
“She should be over in the garden.”
Bella said, grabbed Kiernan’s hand, and started dragging him towards the door, but in that mont, they looked out of the window.
Through the window, they could see a pair of mother and daughter walking hand-in-hand towards the farmhouse.
Kiernan stopped in his tracks and looked at Aoi’s beautiful face.
‘…She had beco even more beautiful.’
“Dear.”
At that mont, Bella grabbed Karma’s hand and said, “We should leave them be,” and Karma agreed.
They headed upstairs.
“Whoo… Whoo… Whoo…”
Kiernan took many deep breaths, then he grabbed the doorknob and stepped out of the farmhouse onto the terrace.
The old woman and old man pair glanced at him briefly with curious looks as they saw Bella and Karma hugging him tightly from a window.
‘Who is he?’ they kept wondering.
“That’s him!”
In that mont, Ellie pointed towards Kiernan on the terrace with a suspicious look on her face, and Aoi looked over.
At that mont, Aoi stopped walking and looked at the man on the terrace with wide eyes—she had never looked so shocked before.
“…Eh?”
Baru also gasped, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the man again.
‘Why does he look so much like Big Brother?’
“…Haah.”
Kiernan stepped down the steps, approached Aoi, took her hand in his, and kissed her deeply.
She looked shocked to the core, but then her eyes moistened, and she wrapped her arms around his tightly.
‘Dream… It must be a dream…’
She thought, but it felt so real, and she didn’t want to ever wake up.
“Mom…?”
Ellie thought the man was bullying her mom because she was crying, but she soon realized that her mom was crying tears of joy.
“…Who is he?”
Ellie asked.
“Y-You haven’t realized?”
Daisy asked in shock.
“…That’s Kiernan… Your father!”
Baru cried out, and he was almost tearing up—this person in front of them was his hero, his big brother, Kiernan Hunter!
