RADIANCE OF THE BLACK HEART
"That is what I have in mind. But how am I going to use the magic of my Black Heart?" I asked them.
"The Grimoire of the Dark Angel", Meera suddenly reminded me.
I obtained the Grimoire of the Dark Angel from the Warlock of Delirium that documented the magic of the Dark Angel of the Revelations.
Sara immediately scanned the Grimoire of the Dark Angel to find something useful to me.
"There is only one relevant entry to my queries, the Radiance of the Black Heart. It is a gathering magic that uses the Black Heart to gather the magic of the surrounding for its use", Sara told us about her discovery.
"I must try it. I don't have another choice", I told her.
So, Sara projected the constellation of the Radiance of the Black Heart before me.
Although, it was no longer possible for me to link constellations in my templar sky, I linked the constellation anyway by imagining its flow of magic.
Soon, the Dark magic in my heart began to reciprocate to my command which surprised me. This wasn't supposed to be how templar magic was conjured. I was now possible to conjure magic without magical constellations.
The constellation of the Radiance of the Black Heart was summoned, and I felt the magic running through my body immediately.
"It is working", I told them.
"Radiance of the Black Heart"
Suddenly, the magic of my surrounding was absorbed into my Black Heart.
"So, that is how the Dark Angel becomes so powerful- he absorbs all the magic around him", Melroy told us talking about my Radiance skill.
To my surprise, even the light and darkness magic that was fighting inside my body were absorbed into my Black Heart. After a while, the light and darkness inside of me were gone, fully absorbed by my Black Heart.
"No…" the Root of Shadow screamed as its magic was being pulled into my dark radiance.
"Claim the bloody Root of Shadow now", Sara shouted to me to remind me.
"Damnit, I've already said the words like Eirot did, but the root wouldn't be claimed", I complained to her.
"You are doing the wrong way idiot", Sara replied.
"Do you have any better ideas?" I asked her.
"There is a way", Meera told me suddenly.
"What way? How do I claim the Root of Shadow?" I asked her.
"Use the Dark Vortex. It is inside of you now", Meera told me.
The Dark Vortex was a relic of the Dark Angel. It could engulf almost anything into its vortex to be consumed by the Dark Angel.
Although the Dark Vortex was taken by the souls of the Dark Angels in my soul realm, the Dark Vortex, like my Black Heart or my Dark Angel skin are inside of me, whether I like it or not.
"The Dark Vortex belongs to you, and you can use it if you wish", Meera reminded me again.
"Zaaapppppp"
I was thinking of giving the Root of Shadow a skip, but the mandrake of shadow struck me again with another light blended with darkness strike.
"Argghhhhhh"
"Damn you, bloody root", I screamed back at the Root of Shadow when suddenly a vortex appeared before me.
"The Dark Vortex of the Dark Angel"
The vortex soon grew, releasing a gush of suction that quickly pulled the Shadow into its pull. The Dark Vortex soon quenched and swallowed the Shadow.
"Did the Dark Angel souls summon the Dark Vortex for you?" Rinna asked me.
"No, this time I was the one who summoned it. The Dark Vortex responded to my need and was summoned", I replied to her.
The Root of Shadow was taken by Dark Vortex and was consumed by me.
"Where is the Root of Shadow now?" Ratatouille asked me.
"It's inside my Black Heart, I guess or somewhere inside my body", I replied to him although I wasn't sure about it.
"What shall we do now?" Cassandra asked me.
"There is nothing more to do here", I replied to her.
"What does the Root of Shadow do?" Rinna asked me.
"I have no idea frankly. Maybe I'll discover its use later", I told her.
"Can you use your templar magic again?" Cassandra asked me.
"I can use my chaos magic although I couldn't use my usual skills. My constellation sky does not respond to them for some reason. Only chaos magic can be used", I explained to them disappointedly.
"Or dark magic", Melroy added.
"Maybe", I replied to him.
There was no longer any quest left in the cave mountains. So, we left the cave and the mountain.
-----
With the directions given to us by the assassins from the Temple of Solomon before they passed and the maps that they left behind, we backtracked their routes.
Soon, we returned to the outer realms of Delirium, and we returned to where the portal to Tarah city first brought us into Delirium.
To our surprise there were still many conjurers trapped inside Delirium.
"Why haven't the people who came to Delirium left by now? They should be long gone by now," Chash asked us, but we had no reply to him.
So, we asked around us.
"The portal to Tarah city from the outer Delirium was closed. We are trapped here until the portal opens again in ten years or so", a conjurer told us, sadly.
I walked to the closed portal and put my hands on it. Rinna walked towards me and touched my hands as we felt the magic of the portal together.
Suddenly, a triangle shaped Stargate appeared before us that was cast from my Valhallan Crux. Rinna studied the coordinates of the portal to Tarah city and summoned my Stargate to return there.
As a prophet of Valhalla, I obtained a magic Ziggurat that could summon magic portals to other places or worlds. Although I wasn't proficient in its use, Rinna was. She guided me to summon the magic Stargate.
"Everyone leave this Delirium", I told everybody before we too left into my Stargate.
