章 260: THE ROOT OF SHADOW

THE ROOT OF SHADOW

"Look what is growing there?" Ratatouille asked us while pointing at something.

There was a plant in the middle of the two magical gates that looked like a mandrake.

The different parts of the mandrake emitted intermittent light that was followed by dimmed darkness, like a Christmas tree light that was broken.

"Who are you people?", the Root asked us to our shock and surprise.

"That is the Root of Shadow", Camliden told us as he and his men rushed to pick up the plant.

"Zzzzaaaapppppp"

Suddenly, a powerful lightning emitted from the Root of Shadow that disintegrated all the assassins from the Temple of Solomon who came to hunt them.

"Damnit, that was Camliden, Mother Asereth's right hand", I complained to them about the fatal fate of the assassins.

"I guess the Temple failed its mission", Melroy said to me with a gasp.

"Are you going to take the Root of Shadow?" Meera asked me suddenly.

"Do I have another prophecy about the shadow?" I asked her.

"I don't have a scroll with me about the Shadow Root, but shadow is the main source of the Dark Angel's magic. You may benefit from it if you took it to augment your magic", Meera suggested to me.

"Before this trip that suggestion will be tempting", I replied to her.

Previously, I could augment specific skills of mine with magical ingredients that I obtained using the empowerment magic of my bones. This rare and powerful method was taught to me by the Ayen god monkey, Hanuman.

But there was no longer any skill in me to augment or a bone realm for that matter to augment it.

"I don't have a bone realm anymore, the root is useless to me", I told them.

"You augmented the Seed of Chaos into your body before without using your bone realm, maybe you can try doing so with the root", Rinna suggested to me.

When I was battling with the detrimental effects of the Black Heart of the Dark Angel, Delirium urged me to augment the Seed of Chaos into my body directly which helped to stabilize my magic.

It was possible that I could do something like that with the Root of Shadow.

"You should claim the root", Cassandra said to me suddenly.

"Why?" I asked her.

"You've got nothing to lose", was her reply.

Cassandra has a good point.

"How do I claim the bloody root?" I asked.

"Your other wife seems to be good at claiming mud and rocks", Sara reminded me about Eirot.

"Shadow Root, I am the Dark Angel or Revelations, and I shall claim you", I said to the Root of Shadow, mimicking how Eirot usually claimed her Pools of Sufferings.

"To claim me, you must pass the Trial of Harmony", the Root of Shadow said to me.

"What the Hell is the Trial of Harmony?" Sara asked us.

"Zaaappppp"

Suddenly, the lights and darkness from the Root of Shadow shot toward me to my surprise. Both the light and darkness entered my body before I responded to it.

"Damn", I complained to myself.

"Argggghhhhhh"

Suddenly, I felt immense pain in my body as the light magic that entered my body fought against the dark magic that came together with it.

"Damnit, why is the light and dark magic fighting against each other in my body?" I complained and asked.

"The harmonious blending between light and darkness isn't a given. In fact, Light and Darkness were inherently opposite in nature and should not logically exist together", Rinna reminded me.

"You should have told me earlier before I claimed the bloody root", I complained to her.

Where there was either light or darkness, there wasn't the other together according to conventional wisdom.

"Light and Darkness do blend. It's called a shadow", Rinna reminded me.

"So, the Trial of Harmony is to blend the two opposing magic inside of me?", I asked myself loudly.

"Arrggghhhhhh"

But achieving that wasn't easy at all.

There was no way that I could control any of the two magics in me which were wreaking havoc in my body, and I had to control both of the magic.

"Guys, I need some help", I said to my friends.

"Arraye of Peaceful Transition"

Melroy and his wives cast a magic arraye around me to contain the raging magic in me. Cassandra and Rinna also helped me with their magic to soothe the violent energies rampaging inside me.

But even with their help, the battle between light and darkness within me couldn't be quelled at all.

"It is useless, the light and darkness doesn't respond to me", I told them.

"Why don't you use your magic like how you conquered the Black Heart?" Meera suggested it to me.

I summoned the flow of chaos in me to do my bidding, but they couldn't affect the light and darkness inside me. Nothing much that I could do would affect the battle between the two forces inside of me.

Except one thing.

"Damnit, I must resort to this magic again", I complained to them.

I was reluctant to use the Dark Angel's magic in me because I fear its use would hasten the recovery and resurrection of the Dark Angel inside my soul.

"D'Ammur of the Dark Angel"

But even the dark magic of the Dark Angel couldn't quell the battle between light and darkness.

"Damnit, this two magic will soon kill me from inside", I complained to them again.

"Why do you bloody worry, you have a divine heart in you. This magic couldn't harm you", Sara told me while irritated because she had to give me advice.

My vital organs were being repeatedly bombarded by the magic of light and darkness. If I wasn't embedded with the Black Heart of the Dark Angel, I would be dead by now.

"Yes, the Black Heart", I said.

"What about the Black Heart?" Ratatouille asked me.

"The Black Heart is protecting my body from exploding to a certain extent", I told them.

"Are you saying the magic from the Black Heart can stop the light fighting the darkness?" Rinna asked me.


章 261: RADIANCE OF THE BLACK HEART

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.
