Harem of the Demon: Gathering Beauties in a Magic World-Chapter 73. Nightmare

’An angel?’

’What does that even mean?’

’How’s that even possible?’

’Am I dead?’

’No. No. There’s no way. This can’t be real.’

’No wonder. This place looked too beautiful to be true.’

’How could you have fallen for that, Isaac? Silly.’

These were the thoughts that filled Isaac’s mind as he looked at the stunning winged creature before him. He looked at himself, assessing his arms, hands, trunk, legs etc. His eyes went all over his body and he touched himself to ascertain if he was truly dead.

Isaac was in a state of utter confusion. If he was dead, then how did that happen?

The angel smiled, her smile bringing some satisfying warmth to Isaac as he stared at her. She caressed his face with her warm, soft hands and flew around him slowly, getting a view of his entire body.

Then she stopped and moved her face closer to his, feeling the human’s breath on her lips and him feeling hers.

"Don’t worry," she said calmly, soothing Isaac’s anxiety. ’You’re not dead." freёweɓnovel_com

"Then, what is this place?" he asked. "Why am I here then?"

Angel Diana flew backwards and hovered above Isaac, causing the human to slowly glance up and walk towards her.

"I am the one that summoned you here," she declared.

"Why?" Isaac asked with a curious look on his face.

"Because I have a message to you. An important message that I must give you before it is too late. The fate of your world rests in your hands, Isaac Winters and I hope that you make the right choice."

Isaac raised his hands slightly and looked at his palms strangely like they were no longer his.

"Fate of the world? My hands?" he muttered, "What are you talking about?"

Diana flapped her wings. "Patience, human. I shall explain what I mean since you must understand how crucial your role is to this great cause."

Isaac blinked several times and rubbed his forehead with a hand on his waist. Diana was still speaking in parables that he was yet to grasp.

The young man took yet another involuntarily step away from the angel, gaping at his lips shook.

"Your wife, Alicia, is pregnant," the angel, Diana, revealed.

Isaac’s eyes broadened and his lips parted with surprise on hearing this.

He hadn’t known that.

Yes. Alicia was getting sick quite often in the past few days. Vomiting in the mornings and always complaining of being too tired to do anything. He considered pregnancy amongst other things but ruled it out because it was still too early to tell.

"That’s not true!" he argued back at the winged woman.

Diana chuckled.

"It is your choice to believe me or not, human. But do not be deceived, because what I have come to give you is not good news," she said, not changing her statement even with his protest.

Isaac felt a cold shiver clothe his entire body and gulped.

"Months from now, Alicia will give birth to a beautiful male child. However, the birth of that child shall mean the destruction of your world and everything that you have known and held dear."

Diana paused and stared daggers at the young man. Her face was stern and empty of any emotion.

"Isaac Winters," she called.

"That child must not live to grow up in this world. Otherwise, this world shall be doomed."

Isaac shook his head in disbelief. There was no way what this person was saying to him right now was true.

It just wasn’t possible.

Even if he was to believe Diana, how could he bring himself to kill his own son?

"Let’s say that I believe you. How can you ask me to kill my son with my own hands?"

A malicious smirk appeared on Diana’s face and her long, light hair started to sway about.

"Because your son will be the devil himself. The bringer of the end. The creator of chaos and darkness. And that darkness is one that you’ll first witness. You shall be his first victim, only then will you believe what I have said to you but it would have been too late."

He swiped his hand over his face. He didn’t want to believe what Diana was telling him nor did he want to accept it as a cruel fate that was his.

"You will wake up, Isaac and you will remember all that I have told you today. You will go home to your wife and she will welcome you in red. I know that it is hard for you to do but it is something that only you have to do."

Isaac shook his head, refusing the quest.

’How can I kill an innocent child?’ he thought to himself. ’My own son at that.’

After a short time of brooding over all that he had heard, he gazed upon the angel and pointed a finger at her.

"Why don’t you do it?" he asked.

"Because I can’t," Diana answered curtly without wasting any time.

Isaac’s eyes narrowed. "Huh?"

Diana bobbed her head and repeated what she had said, "I cannot do it. I cannot kill the devil child for he is yet to commit any crime that warrants our intervention. However, it is only his ploy to keep us, angels, away from him as we cannot interfere directly with him until he commits such a crime."

"So why don’t you wait till then?"

Diana started to slowly descend towards Isaac.

"Because it would be too late and even for you, my dear Isaac," she said, touching his face passionately.

"...for you would have been dead by his hands."

The instant he heard her last statement, Isaac froze in place.

And then, he jerked up suddenly from his bed in the real world while letting out a scream.

Seconds later, his heart pounded very fast and he panted like a person who was out of breath. Sweat filled his face, so much that the bed was soaked and sweat was still dripping from his face.

"No way," he muttered. "That can’t be real. It’s just a dream."

He blinked and shook his head. "No. It’s a nightmare."

Just as he thought about what had transpired between him and the angel, Diana, the door to his room was burst open with Kim and Meng rushing into the room to find out what had happened to him.
