Chapter163: The Flame of Revenge and the Tearing of the Grandmother's Veil of Lies
The air around the crystal courtyard was no longer cold; it had become a red hell that burned every breath of the old witch. Rina stood in the center of that blaze, her hair moving around her head like strands of white light, and her glowing eyes had only one goal: seeing the grandmother within that pain she had woven for them for long years. Diari, who now stood beside Rina like a wounded but powerful tiger, had placed his hand on her shoulder, and that "imaginary power" which had united within them went toward the balcony like a devastating hurricane. The grandmother, whose decayed body was becoming fragmented, understood that her magics would no longer protect her as a shield, because the light Rina and Diari possessed originated from a 'foolish' love that knows no bounds.
The grandmother screamed with a voice full of fear and trembling: "How can this be? I had gathered the whole world within my own grip! I washed away all of your 'ugly' love with blood! How can you rise against me like this now?" The grandmother wanted to use her final misty magic to vanish within the darkness, but Rina tore all the mist with a single white light and left the grandmother hanging in the middle of the balcony. Rina said with a cold voice that echoed like the vibration of death: "Did you think that by wounding Diari's body, you could kill my soul? Did you think that by labeling this man as 'ugly,' you could distort his beauty within my eyes? Look... now is the time for all those daggers you gave to Diari to take a rest within your own body."
Rina brought the "Red Revenge" magic to a new stage. She made all those wounds that were created on Diari's body in the previous part reappear as a real image upon the grandmother's body. The grandmother began a scream so terrifying that it shook all the walls of her palace. She felt her chest was about to be torn, exactly in the place where she had previously forced Rina to strike the blade into Diari's heart. The grandmother's black blood poured onto the ground like a burnt poison, but no one showed her mercy. Diari, with that golden light glowing in the middle of his forehead, tried to return Rina's pure memories and completely uproot the darkness the grandmother had planted.
The grandmother, while wailing within pain, wanted to hide her own face with both her wrinkled hands because her skin was becoming ash. Rina shouted: "No! Do not hide! You must look at the destruction you built yourself! You must taste the blood that you drank like wine for long years!" Rina unleashed the "Prison of Tears" magic. Around the grandmother, a large cage of boiling water was created; every drop of that water was one of those tears Rina and Diari had shed within that hell. The water burned the grandmother's flesh like a powerful acid, and the grandmother, like a shattered demon, could only perform a dance of death within the cage.
Diari took a step forward, his feet still bore the marks of burning, but his majesty remained like a king. He said: "Grandmother, you wanted to grant 'ugliness' to this world, but you were unaware that love can grow the most beautiful flower even within ash. Now the power you thought was only for kings has become a dagger for your throat within the hands of this 'beggar'." Diari struck a golden light through the middle of the cage, and all those magics of the grandmother which she had previously tested on them now returned toward the grandmother's heart like a devastating wave. The "Sleep of Death" magic with which the grandmother had made Rina unconscious had now become a living nightmare for the grandmother; she could see all the deaths of the world in a single second.
The revenge deepened when Rina made the voices of the past return. All those insults the grandmother had directed at Diari, like "mindless" and "ugly," were now ringing in the grandmother's ears like thousands of arrows. The grandmother was going mad; she could not stop all those voices. Rina said with a merciless smile: "How is it? Are those words still as pleasant as music to your ears? Or are they now tearing your mind into pieces?" Rina created an extremely powerful red light within her hand and turned it into a glowing sword, and with one blow, she shattered the grandmother's entire balcony.
The grandmother fell onto the cold crystal floor, exactly in the spot where Rina had previously fallen unconscious. Now it was the grandmother's turn to beg under the feet of those people she once thought were only her slaves. Diari and Rina stood over her slowly. The light around them was so powerful that it had turned all the shadows within the courtyard into ash. Rina said: "This is only the beginning of the Red Revenge. Do you think it ends with this pain? No... there are still thousands of seconds remaining in which you must taste all those poisons you planted within our hearts." Rina unleashed the "Crying of Stone" magic, making even the crystals of the floor enter the grandmother's body like knives.
The grandmother tried to beg, saying with a voice full of crying: "Rina... please... kill me! Just kill me and end it!" Rina replied coldly: "Killing is salvation for you, and I will not let you be saved that easily. You must live to become a witness to the happiness you tried to destroy." Diari took Rina's hand and together they sent the power of the "Light of Justice." This light not only burned the grandmother's body but also exploded one by one all those black magics that existed within her mind. The grandmother was now no longer a magician; she was only a crippled and distorted old woman wallowing in her own blood.
The courtyard had become a prison for the grandmother, a prison in which all the walls showed images of that pure love of Diari and Rina. Every gaze of Diari toward Rina was like a new burning for the grandmother's soul. Rina made the sky of the courtyard become a bloody red, and a red rain began to fall. This rain washed away all the filth the grandmother had spread for long years. The grandmother felt the entire universe was becoming a cage for her. The revenge was so powerful that even those previously imprisoned souls now gathered around the grandmother and whispered with a low voice: "Your time has come... King of Shadows, your time has come."
Diari looked at the collapsed palace and said: "This palace was only a witness to hatred, so it must become a graveyard for you." With his imaginary power, Diari made the earth split and the grandmother sank within it, but only up to half of her body. The grandmother was stuck within the earth and could not move. Rina unleashed the final magic of this part; the magic of "Endless Pain." This magic made the grandmother die and be reborn a thousand times in every second, only to taste the pain again. This was that merciless revenge the grandmother herself had invented, and now it was being served upon her own body.
The Red Revenge still continues, and Rina and Diari are no longer those two humans who only shed tears. They are now the owners of this courtyard, the owners of this light that has burned all of the grandmother's darkness. The grandmother, in the middle of that destruction, with a fragmented body and an eye full of despair, looks at the light that is about to tear the final veil of her life. But Rina and Diari have decided that this death of the grandmother must be the longest and most painful death in history. The courtyard is now the witness to the victory of those 'mindless' humans whose love became the greatest weapon in the universe.
This part ends here, while the grandmother is stuck within the crystal earth and Rina and Diari, with their hands held together, are about to go into the heart of the palace to burn all those black secrets the grandmother had hidden for thousands of years. The red light has occupied the entire sky, and the silence is only broken by the grandmother's screams—a scream that is like a joyful music for those two lovers who only wanted peace.
