Mommy Villainess-Chapter 368: Original Form

THE "walls" had begun crumbling.

Kiho, who was standing on the Red Phoenix’ back as they flew up to climb over the tall "walls," raised his arms.

Then he froze the debris that threatened to hit them.

<"Your father is crying, Kiho Nystrom.">

"He’s no longer my father," Kiho denied firmly. "And yes, I can hear the walls crying."

It was a cry of agony, to say the least.

"Why do I have a feeling this is my son’s doing?" Kiho asked nervously. "I can feel Winter’s fluctuating Mana..."

<"This is definitely my nephew’s work,"> Wixx agreed with Kiho, and he sounded so proud of his nephew. <"Winter is the God Slayer. Only my nephew could inflict this kind of damage on a major god like Kyro.">

Kiho was, of course, proud of his son.

However, he was worried.

[Winter, don’t push yourself too much.]

His son wasn’t only facing the Moon God– there was Aku Moonchester, too.

<"What the hell?!">

Kiho didn’t have to ask why Wixx suddenly cursed.

After all, he saw it, too.

[Winter!]

Kiho was in shock while looking at his son who had turned into a Moon Serpent.

Winter, now a divine beast, had towered over the tall wall that Wixx and he had just finished climbing over.

But his son’s transformation wasn’t the only thing that shocked him.

Winter, who had turned into a Moon Serpent, swallowed up Aku Moonchester completely.

"No," Kiho whispered in disbelief. "The black moon will rise again!"

<"It’s alright. Aku Moonchester was already swallowed up by Winter. I don’t think that sly bastard would even want to return to his original form.">

Kiho heard what Wixx had said, but his anxiousness didn’t go away.

<"Daddy!">

Oh?

[Fortunately, it looks like Winter didn’t lose his mind with his transformation.]

Winter, still in his Moon Serpent form, crawled to get closer to him. <"Daddy, look at me! I look majestic in this form, do I not? And oh, I swallowed up Aku Moonchester! Did I do well?">

Kiho’s worries were washed away by Winter’s excitement.

His son looked so proud of his achievement.

Hence, he didn’t have the heart to question if everything was really over. He still felt anxious, though.

<"You did well, little one,"> Wixx said to Winter proudly. <"You’re really Soleil’s son.">

Winter grinned. <"Thank you, Uncle!">

Kiho smiled while watching his son. Even so, he couldn’t get rid of his worries. Hence, he decided to be honest. "Winter, you did a great job. But I feel like something is wrong. Can you turn back into your human form?"

<"Already? But I want to show Mommy this appearance, Daddy. It’s hard for me to transform properly into my Moon Serpent form. I’m afraid this might be the only chance I can show off to Mommy.">

"I understand that you want to brag to your mommy, but I feel anxious, Winter," Kiho said in a gentle yet firm manner. "Please listen to me this time, son. I just want to make sure that nothing bad will happen to you."

Even though Winter was in his Moon Serpent form, Kiho could still see the disappointment on his son’s face– especially in those huge red orbs.

But, despite that, he didn’t take back his order.

Winter, who realized that Kiho was serious, let out a sigh. <"Okay, Daddy,"> he said in a defeated voice. <"I’ll return to my human form.">

Kiho smiled and nodded. "Thank you, son."

Winter didn’t say anything this time, but Kiho knew that his son was trying to return to his human form.

His son’s Mana fluctuated eventually.

But nothing had changed.

After a few minutes of staying still, Winter remained in his Moon Serpent form.

<"My dear nephew, are you having a hard time returning to your human form?"> Wixx asked worriedly. <"You just need to focus and think about yourself in your human form. It shall do the trick.">

<"...">

<"Winter?">

When Winter didn’t respond to Wixx, Kiho realized right away that something was wrong with his son.

[Dammit!]

Kiho stomped his feet on the Red Phoenix causing Wixx to curse at him. But he didn’t have time to explain as his body shot up. He then used his Mana to control his flight magic until he landed on top of Winter’s head.

While he was standing on Winter’s serpent head, he got down on one knee and planted his hand on his son’s "neck."

Then he sucked out Winter’s Mana.

Only then did Winter react– his son let out a hiss, and it sounded like he was in pain.

<"Kiho Nystrom!"> Wixx yelled angrily. <"What are you doing to my nephew?!">

"I’m absorbing Winter’s Mana to weaken him," Kiho explained in an urgent voice. "Winter has to lose consciousness or else he’ll lose it!"

But, clearly, the Moon Serpent had no intention of staying still while his Mana was getting sucked out of him. Winter, still in his divine beast form, tried shaking Kiho off his back.

[Argh!]

Kiho had to lie on his stomach and hug the Moon Serpent’s neck. But it was too thick for him to hug, so he used his Mana and created a rope made of water to rein his son.

[I’m sorry, Winter!]

He was almost done sucking out Winter’s Mana, enough to render his son unconscious, when the Moon Serpent suddenly stopped moving.

BLERGH.

Kiho’s eyes widened when the Moon Serpent suddenly opened its mouth, and then his son spat something out.

It was a "ball" full of divine energy.

[Is that...?]

<"Kiho Nystrom!"> Wixx, now in his human form, yelled. <"Protect my nephew!">

The Red Phoenix didn’t have to say that, though.

Kiho had already raised his arms and created a wall of ice to protect him and Winter.

[The black moon is back...!]

<"ARE YOU really going to get rid of me?">

Hmm?

Tilly raised her head and realized that she had gone to another dimension.

The last thing she remembered was being in the same room as Saint Forrester and Serafina. They were supposed to remove the Abyss from the Plane.

But the two suddenly disappeared.

"You’re the child I met in the Abyss before," Tilly said, looking at the child who looked a lot like her. "The Black Flame."

Ah, right.

Tilly remembered an important fact.

[The Black Flame controls the Abyss.]
