Chapter 54: Radiance of the Supreme Heart
Awakening of the Ancient Sign
The seal on Rina's chest emitted a light like a diamond, sending its rays into the deepest corners of the cave. Rina felt as if the voices of thousands of queens were whispering in her soul, guiding her movements. She no longer needed to recite magic; her very existence was a spell for purification. She looked at her hands, which now sparkled with the same crystalline radiance as the seal on her heart.
Reaction Against the Shadow-King
The Shadow-King let out a roar of fury and attacked Rina, his claws made of thick darkness. But when he reached the brilliance of Rina's seal, an invisible shield was formed. With a calm expression, Rina placed her hand directly on the chest of the Shadow-King and said firmly, "You were a memory that refused to fade, but today you return to the void." A massive wave of pure light erupted from her palm, shattering the Shadow-King's body. He began to dissolve, not into smoke, but into particles of dust, as the power of the seal neutralized his ancient hatred and destroyed him.
Diari's Support and Elias's Command
When Diari saw Rina's limitless power, he didn't use his crimson energy to attack, but gathered it around Rina to protect her from any remaining purple sparks. He stood beside her like a crimson shadow for Rina's white sun. Elias raised his golden staff and poured his golden light into the ritual, shouting, "Now Rina! Close the gateway! Use the heart's light to lock the depth!" His eyes were filled with pride for the girl who had exceeded all expectations.
Total Defeat of the Witches
Morgana and Liva were trapped within the rays of the seal. The light didn't burn their skin, but it burned their magic. They felt their dark power being stripped away, leaving them as ordinary and helpless humans. They fell to the ground and wept in despair, knowing that their era of fear and terror had come to an end. It seemed as if the forest itself breathed a sigh of relief as the weight of the dark queens was lifted.
End of the Chapter
With one final cry, the Shadow-King faded and disappeared. For the first time in centuries, the cave became a place of silence and peace. Rina stood in the center, the seal on her shoulder (chest) dimming but still warm. She looked at Diari, her father, and then the sealed wall. She whispered, "It is over." But as she said it, Elias looked at the floor of the cave, where a new path had opened—a path leading toward the depths of her family's history.
