Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 293 Sheer Emotions

ʼHe?ʼ Luis raised his brows and wondered, ʼWho is ʼheʼ? Does she mean… the Lord? No, we killed the Lordʼs incarnation, so it shouldnʼt be possible. There shouldnʼt be a new incarnation for the next ten thousand years. But even then, we will get rid of him.

However! What is this dominating presence?!ʼ

The hall was filled with force, and Luis couldnʼt trace it because it was out of his expertise.

ʼItʼs suffocating me! But why am I the only one getting affected by it?!ʼ he panicked. ʼWhat is going on?! Did Nyxia cast one of her magic spells on me?ʼ

Of course, it was Rudy.

After Rudy left Janeʼs room and told Niti that he was going on a stroll, Niti waited for him to return for a few minutes, but after realizing she got fooled, she went to look for Rudy. At the same time when Rudy was torturing Vesier.

Niti searched the entire palace and asked the maid she ran onto on her way, but she didnʼt get the lead. She knew that Rud wonʼt be in any of the rooms, so he would either be in the hall or outside the palace.

However, just to confirm, she went to the hall and saw Luis asking for Janeʼs hand in marriage for his son. Niti didnʼt know what to do, so she rushed out and went to Janeʼs room on a whim, hoping that Rudy would have returned.

ʼI donʼt know why they are here and why they want to marry Princess Jane, but I am not handing her over to someone other than master Rudy. They love each other so dearly, and I wonʼt let anyone come between them!

Sadly, I donʼt possess any power or authority to interfere in royal matters. But master Rudy can!

I donʼt know if he has returned or not, but I have to find him. Princess Jane needs him! I need him! If itʼs master Rudy, then he can kill everyone who tries to steal princess jane away from him!ʼ

Niti was so immersed in her thoughts that she didnʼt realize how casually she talked about killing someone. Her usual self would never even think of harming a fly, but she was so panicked that nothing else mattered to her other than Rudy and Janeʼs relationship.

ʼI just hope he has returned!ʼ

After running for a while, she finally reached Janeʼs room and opened the door with a panicked face. Fortunately, Rudy had just come back from the trip to space.

”Thank Lord, you are here!” She let out a loud sigh and rushed inside the room.

Rudy opened his eyes, but he couldnʼt open them as the nerves of his body were going berserk. It was a side effect of staying exposed in space for too long.

Usually, his powers would have taken care of all that, but the capacity of his mental strength had reached practically Zero, making Rudy even weaker than a normal human for the time being.

He used the last bit of his mental strength in teleporting from space. Had he been a few seconds late, he would have passed out in space, and who knows what would have happened to him afterward. But it surely would have taken an interesting turn, just not in a good way.

”Whatʼs wrong…?” he asked in a low voice. Even his voice wasnʼt coming out properly.

”Princess Jane! She needs you!” she said with the same panicked look on her face.

Rudy forced his eyes open, but they stayed the same.

”What happened to her? Is everything alright?” he asked in an anxious tone.

”Itʼs not! You have to follow me to the royal hall!”

”...” Rudy tried to sit up, but his body was close to being paralyzed.

It reminded Rudy of his past life, where he was rendered paralyzed and bedridden on the bed. Where he couldnʼt do anything but helplessly watch his family struggling financially to continue his treatment.

”Please!” she bellowed.

Rudy knew that something serious had happened since Niti— who was always uptight about everything, even after running into jane and Rudy having sex— was panicking like that.

ʼI need… powers….ʼ

”What are you doing?!” Niti yelled furiously. ”Why are you still relaxing on the bed!”

She thought Rudy wasnʼt taking the situation easily, even though it was the exact opposite.

”I canʼt… move my body. Can you carry me there?” he asked in a fading voice.

Suddenly, Rudy sat up straight on the bed in a strange manner, and even he was surprised.

”Oh…”

But he soon realized that Angelica had taken over his body and was seemingly helping him.

”Letʼs,” Angelica said from Rudyʼs mouth.

ʼI will just let Angelica do everything. But Niti still hasnʼt told me what happened.ʼ

”Please follow me to the royal hall!” Niti left the room in a hurry, and Rudy (Angelica) soon followed him.

After a while, they reached the hall, and Rudy heard Luis say:

”You are the cursed child. No one would even want to talk—no, no one would even want to look at you. Yet, I am offering you a one-in-a-million golden chance. If you let this chance slip from your hand, you will remain single forever.”

”....!”

Even though Rudy walked into the middle of the conversation without knowing the topic or the context, he realized what was going on by hearing a mere sentence.

It was said that one realizes their true potential when they are hopeless; one would know they have reached the limit, and they would have to surpass their limits to keep moving forward.

Rudy was in a similar condition, but the only difference was that his powers were already limitless, but they were limited by his mental capacity, which has been drastically increasing daily as the more power he used, the more it evolved.

However, Rudy was currently feeling hopeless but not helpless.

”Angelica, give me the control back,” he said in a quiet voice that even Niti couldnʼt hear even though she was standing right next to him.

”But your body is—”

”Please…”

The moment Angelica revoked the control of Rudyʼs body, the hall was covered by an invisible force, which was nothing but Rudyʼs sheer emotions— one of the base of his powers.

”Oi! I donʼt care who you are, but if you value your life, get out of my sight, or your existence will cease to exist.”
