Chapter 48: Diari's Awakening and the Ancient Secret
Diari's Deep Regret and Love
Diari sat in a dark corner of the cave, his head buried in his hands. Rina's words echoed in his mind like thunder. From afar, he watched her coldness, and a sharp pain pierced his chest. He struggled to feel better, but it was beyond his control. He began talking to himself in the depths of his soul: "What have I done? How could I ever compare her to another girl? She is different. I made a terrible mistake, and I've broken her heart. I know Rina—if she turns cold toward someone, she never truly forgives; even if she does, she carries the scars forever. She might care, but it will never be the same. I love her more than my own eyes. I wish I hadn't compared her to anyone. She is rare, unique; no one can ever be like her. Without her, I am just a meaningless shadow. How can I win her heart back? I've made such a huge mistake. What if she hides herself from me forever? My life was dark before her; she was the one who lit it up. She has every right to leave, but I will watch over her even if she doesn't know it. She is right—I didn't understand the weight of the crown she wears. She isn't a monster; she is seeking justice for her parents." His love for Rina grew larger than his fear of darkness. He understood that to be with her, he had to embrace her fire.
The Power of Diari's Fury
Diari stood up, his eyes turning into a red glow unlike anything seen before. He no longer wanted Rina to fight alone. He gathered his strength, transforming the energy stored from his time as a "stinking body" into a destructive force. He let out a roar as a massive wave of red and black energy erupted from his hands. He struck Liva, her mother, and Morgana all at once. The impact was so powerful it shook the Black Forest. The three witches were slammed against the walls, their bodies burning in Diari's flames. He shouted: "This is for the woman I love! And for every tear you forced her to shed! I would burn the whole world for the sake of one of her smiles!" The witches screamed in agony.
Rina and Morgana: The Final Gaze
Rina ignored the chaos for a moment and walked calmly toward the suffocating Morgana. She knelt down and grabbed Morgana's chin, forcing her to look into her white eyes. Rina said coldly: "Look at me, Morgana. Do you see any mercy here? Did you think you could break my family and rule forever? You forgot one thing: Light isn't just for illumination; it burns everything hidden in the dark. You are nothing now—just a shadow waiting to be erased." Morgana tried to speak, but the terror in Rina's eyes silenced her.
The Father's Discovery
While the others were focused on revenge and magic, Rina's father suddenly noticed something strange. In the section of the cave wall that had crumbled from Diari's powerful blast, something appeared beneath the rocks. A strange seal was revealed—a door hidden for centuries. His eyes widened in shock as he recognized the symbols. With a trembling voice, he called out to Rina and Diari. Something was emerging from the seal, something that would change their entire understanding of the Black Forest.
End of the Chapter
As the light from the seal filled the cave, the screams of the witches turned into a terrifying silence. A new secret was being revealed, one that even the dark queens had never foreseen.
