Monster Apocalypse

Chapter 26 : Mother's Blessing

 Meanwhile, move on to another place. In the afternoon, in a misty pine forest area, there is a figure of a man standing among the many trees. That man was Edgar, the leader of the Holy Grail group. He was seen wearing a blue shirt and black cotton trousers, and also not forgetting his middle divided hairstyle that has always been his trademark. It seems currently Edgar is waiting for someone in that forest.

 Shortly thereafter, the figure of someone Edgar was waiting for, is appeared, namely a beautiful woman wearing a white dress, and her black hair straight down. The woman's face looks very charming, because it looks like the woman is already primed so that she can look beautiful when she meets Edgar.

 "Mr. Edgar, good evening." The woman greeted him.

 "Oh, Elaine ... You've come."

 "Y- yes ... Have you been waiting here too long?"

 "No, I just arrived."

 Then the woman just smiled, and she looked short of breath and nervous, because she seemed to be meeting her idol.

 “I- I want to thank you Mr. Edgar… Because of you, my father was able to recover from his illness. Our decision to change religions and follow your teachings was indeed the right decision. "

 “You don't need to thank me, I had told that I am only a messenger of God sent to guide every humans. And it is my duty to help people who are in trouble ... The healing of your father is a gift from God that sent through me. " Said Edgar while slowly approaching and holding Elaine's hand. So it made Elaine feel amazed.

 "Thank you, Mr. Edgar." Elaine looked passionately at Edgar's face.

 "I want to ask, what are you currently feeling in your heart?" Asked Edgar.

 "I feel very happy, because I can talk directly with you."

 "Hmm, great then." Edgar drew closer to Elaine's body.

 "And I also feel very proud, because I can be the one who was chosen to be your life companion ... When I got a letter from one of your assistants to come here alone, I really feel very happy, I can't even express how much I feel happy with just words. "

 "Hmm, I also feel the same way ... By the way did you tell other people that you were coming here?" Asked Edgar.

 "No sir, according to the contents of the letter from you. I didn't tell anyone that I would meet you here. "

 "Very nice." Said Edgar with a smile.

 Then Edgar embraced Elaine so passionately that it made Elaine feel good, and she smiled as she closed her eyes. Elaine still couldn't believe that right now she was being embraced by the person she idolized, namely the head of the new religious cult she had into. So without being asked, Elaine also immediately hugged Edgar's waist very tightly and she put her chin on Edgar's shoulder.

 However, Elaine didn't know that she was in danger right now, because suddenly Edgar's face turned into a vicious Gargoyle, then Edgar bite Elaine's neck, who was in his arms.

 So it suddenly made Elaine feel shocked, she quickly opened her eyes wide and tried to get away from Edgar's embrace, but it was in vain, because Edgar's embrace was so strong and he kept biting Elaine's neck violently, so it prevented Elaine's screaming sound from escaping. Then, with her dying condition, finally Elaine's body could only convulse while Edgar continued to eat her.

 That's how Edgar has been eating all this time, he prefers to prey on women and eat them in quiet places. With so many people who became followers of his new religion, Edgar only had to choose who he would prey on next, then secretly he would send a letter of invitation to the victim to meet him somewhere.

He is a person who already has the rule power and so many subordinates, so it makes him free to do whatever he wants. Coupled with the strange obsession he has, makes Edgar an even more terrifying figure when compared to the other Gargoyles.

 Until now, only a few people who know about his figure, and only certain people who know his power. And as the leader of a large group, it seems Edgar has a mysterious power that is no less terrible than his reputation, so Kevin and his friends must be extra vigilant when the time comes for them to face Edgar the Silent killer.

 Switch to another place, or rather on the streets of Briggs City which is currently crowded with vehicles. Currently Kevin is driving a black van and he is stuck in traffic. Kevin was on his way to go home and meet his mother, but Kevin's return was not just to rest at home, but there was something he wanted to ask to his mother. And it seems that he also has prepare to accept the wrath of his mother, because in the last few days Kevin has not come home. In fact, she didn't even give any news at all, so right now her mother must be feeling both worried and angry to Kevin.

 When Kevin arrived in front of the house, he immediately parked his car, then Kevin walked into the house through the front door. And when Kevin entered, he was surprised because his mother's figure was standing in the living room with a look full of anger towards Kevin, so it looks like there will be a third world war in that house.

 However, with a deep sigh, Kevin immediately took out a monster-killing gun from his pants, and he showed the gun to his mother, so at once the look on her mother's face immediately changed, from initially fierce to shocked and dumbfounded with her mouth wide open.

 "Wh- where did you get that thing?" Asked the mother.

 "From the basement of our house." Kevin replied briefly.

 Then suddenly her mother's legs were limp, so she fell and her eyes flashed a blank look, as if the mother didn't believe and didn't want to accept the fact that her child was holding a dangerous object.

Then Kevin, who was worried, immediately approached and helped his mother to stand up. And after that Kevin sat his mother on the sofa, while talking.

 "Mom, what happened? Are you ok?”

 "No, Kevin." His mother answered absently.

 "Do you want me to get you a drink?"

 "No need."

 Then, Kevin immediately sat down opposite to his mother, and a very serious conversation between them began. Because Kevin wants to demand clarity regarding his father's legacy, especially a letter given by Dr. Rengga 15 years ago.

 “Mom, I want to ask. Do you know Dr. Rengga?"

 "So you've met with that person? What has he told you? "

 "Not much mom ... But now I know what happened to father."

 "Your father is not dead. One day he will definitely come back. " Said Kevin's mother with tears in her eyes.

Then without denying what his mother said, Kevin asked again. "Mom, Dr. Rengga had once came here and gave a letter from father to you. If I may know, what's written in that letter? "

 His Mother was silent for a moment, but finally she answered. "It was a farewell letter, as if your father was knew that something bad will going to happen on him ... He told me to tell you about the secret room in our basement, and he also mentioned about the weapons you can use to protect me and the world."

 "Then where is the letter now?"

 "If you already have that weapon, then you should have found the letter as well ... Because i have put the letter in the secret vault at our basement room as well."

 "Ooh, so that letter huh ... I understand, so I should have read the letter since I was little."

 "What are you talking about?"

 "How do you know the vault combination number?"

 "The combination number is a special number known only to me and your father."

 "O-owh. I still have one more question ... So, all this time you know that under our house there is a secret room, but you never told me, why ?? " Asked Kevin.

 "Yes, all this time i know about it. But I always keep it secret from you because I don't want you to get into dangerous things or trouble like your father! I don't want to lose you. "

 "But Mom ..."

 "Even i have expelled Dr. Rengga and don't allow him to approach you, so that you will never get to know him and get into those problems of your father's research! … I just want you to live a normal life like an ordinary human. ”

 "Wrong."

 "What?" His mother is shocked.

 "Mom has do something wrong.”

 "What do you mean Kevin? I'm just trying to protect you! Now look what happened when you deal with Dr. Rengga !! You didn't come home for a few days and you didn't even call me, then now you come home while covered in scars !! Anyway i won't allow you to meet him again! ”

 "But it turns out if I'm late getting to know Dr. Rengga, then bad things will happen. " Kevin said calmly.

 "What do you mean?"

 "Mom may not believe this ... But right now our world is in danger and on the verge of collapse ... Only me who know a way to prevent the disaster."

 "Don't talk lies to me!!"

 "Mom, Please understand ... If I don't act, then the lives of everyone including you will also be in danger."

 "No, i still won't allow you."

 "Then I'll be leaving."

 Then the mother was silent for a moment, and after sighing, the mother spoke again, “Well then, I don't know what to say to you anymore. I won't be able to stop you ... Now, just do whatever you want! ” Said the mother who immediately stood up and left Kevin alone in the living room. So now Kevin can only sit alone.

 It seems that what has been keeping Kevin away from the monster problem, is his own mother, but this is for Kevin's safety, because she doesn't want Kevin to get involved and get hurt. Even though Kevin has tried to understand his mother's feelings, but still he doesn't want to close his eyes on all these problems, Kevin will still continue his struggle to prevent the monster apocalypse, even though he doesn't get his mother's blessing. Because the most important thing for Kevin is the safety of all people in this world including his mother.
