Inventors system - Chapter 85: Shio's past 1

After Anna saw her daughter the last time she didn’t wait for her death to leave. She just looked at the normal day in Lucy’s life. Her bright smile, as she ran around playing with other children in the village.

“Let’s go”

She said as she still looked at her daughter longingly but this time she had calmness in her eyes. Morana didn’t say anything and the light once again covered them and the world around them and they left for the next nightmare.

The next second they appeared in a place that can only be described as magical. Tall trees, heavy waterfalls, and unicorns running all around the clearing.

After finally managing to take their eyes off the beauty in front of them the group quickly noticed a family of 6 having a picnic nearby.

A beautiful woman with black hair and purple eyes holding a newborn baby boy, while a tall blond man with pointy ears and gray eyes is sitting next to her holding a small baby girl as two boys run around them playing around.

The family looked very happy laughing while teasing each other. Obvious love could be seen when man and woman looked at each other and their children.

“That’s aunt Morgana and her family. Shio is the youngest boy held in her hands.” Explained Zoel while they all looked at the happy family.

“Yeah, but why are we here? This looks nothing like a nightmare.” Said Emir

“It will.” Answered Zoel and stopped talking.

It was better if they saw everything with their own eyes rather than him telling them what happened.

And sure enough, soon the happy picture was disturbed.

The family was surrounded, and attacked, but Shio’s parents were no pushovers, they were one of the strongest beings in the upper realm.

They quickly protected their children and pushed back. Just as the things looked to be turning out on their side the woman was attacked from behind and blasted away.

“Morgana.” Screamed the man with rage and because he was distracted with worry he was also injured.

Children were also affected. The youngest baby boy was held by Morgana together with the second-youngest while the man held his daughter and their oldest son.

The attack was well planned, they managed to get rid of all their security and the woman and man were now separated and surrounded struggling with the fight and protection of their children.

Finally, the person behind the attack appears and immediately catches the duo’s attention

“OH, how touching the whole family fighting together. But you know what will be even more touching?

When the whole family dies together and rot in this forest while every wandering beast feasts on their flesh.” Said the man with a bright smile.

He looked very much like Shio’s father but he was younger and the crazy smile he had plastered all over his face did nothing to make him less creepy.

“FARIS YOU BASTARD.” Screamed Shio’s father as he cursed at the man.

“Now-now, my dearest, older brother Nicolas. I know very well what my name is. You don’t need to shout so loudly.”

“You won’t get away with this. I swear if you touch even a single hair on my children’s heads You will greatly regret it” Said Morgana as she also looked at Faris with hatred.

“My dear beautiful Morgana, you don’t have to look at me so passionately, I have no plans of killing you or your children, after all, I am their uncle I can’t be so cruel after all.

Moreover, that would be such a cliche, No, No, My dear. I have something way more interesting planned for all of you.

The next second a small round device appears in Faris’s hand. It looks like a metal ball, but both Morgana and Nicolas couldn’t help getting a bad feeling from the device.

Soon their fears became real. As Faris activated the device everything around them changed. Both Nicolas and Morgana suddenly felt powerless.

“Surprise.” Cheered Faris as he happily observed their suffering.

Nicolas and Morgana tried using their powers several times but they just felt weaker and weaker with every attempt.

“You must be wondering what’s going on. Well, for once your powers and abilities are useless here and the more you try to use them the weaker you will become.”

“Where are we?” Asked Morgana as the hatred in her eyes didn’t disappear.

Faris was not at all bothered by her actions and instead smiled more happily as he explained.

“We are in what’s called an artificial domain. It’s a space inside the device made using special materials, runes, and so on and so forth and it has some specific rules that its owner embodies in it and you are well forbidden from using your powers.”

Just as Morgana wanted to ask more questions another portal opened near them and more people came through it.

“Oh, you are early.” Said Faris as he looked at the new arrivals.

“We want to finish up early.” Said one of the men

“Well no matter how much I enjoyed your company, it’s time for you to go my dear Morgana.” Said Faris as he looks at Morgana with a saddened face.

Morana and others watch How Morgana is dragged away with her second son and Shio while Nicolas struggles to help his wife but is unable to resist.

As Morgana also struggles to fight back one of the men punches her in the face starting another round of struggles from Nicolas and the children.

Devastated by his helplessness, Nicolas musters up the last of his powers and fights back against the domain that suppresses his powers, managing to tap into ancient elven blood and regain his control.

He turned into a killing machine trying to make his way toward his wife and children but before he catches up the portal closes in front of him and Morgana and his second son are taken away.

In devastation, he starts killing everyone around him and in the end, only Francis and his three children are left.

He starts to beat up Francis, but half passed out Francis, manages to get away for just a second, only enough for him to grab Shio and send him through some unknown portal While still laughing at Nicolas mockingly.
