Chapter 51: Crimson Rage and the Guardian's War
The Awakening of Diari and the Red Power
When Diari opened his eyes, the cave suddenly changed into a terrifying and rough crimson color. Diari slowly stood up, but he was no longer that naive Diari who could do nothing while being insulted. From his fingertips, long, shining threads of crimson energy, like veins of fire, began to spread. This was a true natural power, refined and strengthened by Elias's ancient touch. Diari stepped forward in a strange way, and with every step, the ground began to shake. He raised his hands, and a thousand red sparks exploded, weaving a net of pain around the Shadow King and the witches. This wasn't just magic; it was the raw, concentrated essence of his pain transformed into a weapon. The red light was so powerful that it vanished the shadows, showing that his power had reached a level even Rina hadn't expected.
The Shock of the Three Witches
Rina stood frozen, her eyes wide with shock. She stared at Diari and the King of Witches. Morgana, Liva, and Liva's mother were terrified. Morgana thought to herself, "Since when does this naive boy have so much power? I must destroy this power and use it all for myself." Morgana remembered how they always mocked Diari, calling him a "rotten body," but now they were looking at a destructive god. Liva wanted to scream, but before she could, Diari sealed her mouth with magic. Liva was twice as terrified. Morgana's eyes were filled with a great fear she hadn't felt for centuries; she realized that the boy they came to destroy was now the one who would end them. In her heart, Rina felt a tremor; she was proud of Diari, but at the same time, she was shocked by the magnitude of his power.
A Deep Conversation Between Old Friends
As the red lightning flashed, Elias turned toward Rina's father amidst all the chaos, standing as if time had stopped for him. Elias began to speak, his voice full of emotion: "You have raised a star, my friend." Rina's father looked at him with tears of joy and said, "I thought I had lost everything, Elias. Every day in this darkness, I remembered our oath; I thought you were dead and no longer existed." Elias stepped forward, placed his hand on his shoulder, and said, "I wasn't dead; I was just waiting in silence. We have much to talk about, but first, we must clean this filth of the world. Your daughter and that boy... they are the bridge to the future we dreamed of."
The Torture of the Guardian
Elias, whose full name—Elias the Sun-Bearer—was not yet revealed, focused intensely on Liva and her mother. His kind face turned stern as he whispered: "You treated people's lives as if they were toys." He raised his staff, and golden chains emerged from the ground, wrapping around the witches. These chains didn't just bind them; they forced them to remember every person killed at the hands of the witches—the souls of those martyrs. This was a physical and psychological torture that made the witches scream. He showed them no mercy, proving that even a man of light has a limit to his patience.
Rina's Return to Diari
Rina walked calmly through the crimson storm toward Diari. She placed her hand on Diari's shoulder, feeling the warmth of the power. The coldness that had existed in our previous chapters began to melt. She looked into his glowing red eyes and whispered: "I didn't know... I didn't know you had all this fire inside you." Diari looked back at her, the rage in his eyes softening only for Rina.
End of the Chapter
The path was clearing. The final battle in the cave was reaching its peak. Elias looked at the group and said: "The ritual is almost finished. Soon we will leave this darkness. Rina, get ready... we are going to your mother."
