Chapter 44 : Unknown Power

Delvi managed to chase the werewolf to the edge of the forest. However, the werewolf was too fast and disappeared into the darkness. Returning to the castle, Delvi felt uneasy. She knew something was wrong.

Meanwhile, Art had successfully brought the serum to a safe place. Carefully, he followed the angel's instructions to mix the serum into Rojan's drink. When Delvi returned with the drink in her hand, Art took the opportunity to switch it.

Rojan drank the beverage that had been mixed with the serum. Soon after, he began to feel his body weaken. His once immense magical power now felt like it was fading. Seeing Rojan's condition, Delvi grew even more worried.

"Rojan, are you alright?" Delvi asked anxiously.

Rojan weakly shook his head. "I don't know what's happening to me, Delvi. My body feels so weak."

Art, watching from a distance, felt relieved. His plan had worked. With Rojan's power weakened, they now had a chance to turn the tide.

Elsewhere, the angel continued to monitor the situation. He knew that this was only the beginning of the battle. Rojan would surely try to rise again.

As Rojan began recovering from the serum's effects, he noticed something strange. His original magic had indeed weakened, but another force was starting to grow within him — a dark power he had never felt before. The serum not only suppressed his true power but also awakened a hidden darkness inside him.

Meanwhile, Art and the angel kept a close watch on Rojan. They knew that he was not truly defeated yet. The dark force emerging within Rojan posed a new threat to them.

"This power... it's so strong," Rojan muttered, staring at his hand, now radiating a thick black aura. "I will use this power to destroy you all!"

At the same time, a mysterious figure appeared, claiming to be the guardian of balance. He offered his help to Art and the angel in stopping Rojan. However, this mysterious figure had hidden motives that were yet unknown.

Rojan, now controlled by the dark power, became a stranger to Delvi. His once loving gaze had turned into a cold, piercing stare. With a thunderous roar, he rampaged, destroying everything in his path. The castle turned into a battlefield.

Delvi and Art tried to stop Rojan, but their strength was no match. Every attack they launched was effortlessly repelled by Rojan. The angel, watching from above, continued giving guidance and support, though his power was limited.

Suddenly, the mysterious figure appeared amid the chaos. With swift movements, he temporarily subdued Rojan. But Rojan quickly recovered and launched an attack on the figure. A fierce battle ensued between them.

"Who are you really?" Rojan asked, his voice trembling.

The mysterious figure smiled enigmatically. "I am the guardian of balance. I have come to stop you before you destroy this world."

Delvi and Art exchanged confused glances, unsure whether to trust this figure.

Meanwhile, the dark power within Rojan continued to grow stronger. He began to lose control over himself. His body morphed, becoming larger and more terrifying.

"I will not let you stop me!" Rojan roared with a booming voice.

The mysterious figure shook his head. "I know you don't truly want this, Rojan. But you must be stopped."

The battle grew even more intense. One by one, the castle structures collapsed. Delvi and Art tried to assist the mysterious figure but kept falling behind.

Suddenly, Delvi remembered an ancient prophecy she once read. It said that only true love could defeat the dark power. With newfound determination, Delvi ran toward Rojan.

"Rojan, please wake up! I still love you!" Delvi cried out.

Hearing Delvi's voice, Rojan paused. His empty gaze wavered slightly, but the dark power within him tried to pull him back into darkness.

"Don't listen to her, Rojan!" the mysterious figure shouted. "She's only wasting your time!"

Delvi continued trying to break through the dark shield surrounding Rojan. With all her might, she embraced him, tears streaming down her face.

"I will never give up on you, Rojan!" Delvi said firmly.

Slowly, Delvi's love began to penetrate Rojan's heart. A light started to emerge from within him, gradually overpowering the dark force.

The mysterious figure was shocked by what he saw. He hadn't expected love to be so powerful. Enraged, he attacked Delvi and Rojan. But now united, Delvi and Rojan managed to defeat him.

The mysterious figure vanished, leaving behind a big question: who exactly was he, and what was his true purpose?

Rojan returned to his former self. He felt deeply guilty for all he had done. Delvi hugged him tightly, giving him the strength to rise again.

"I will always be here for you, Rojan," Delvi said.

Rojan nodded. "Thank you, Delvi. I swear I will become a better person."

They both knew their struggle was far from over. Many mysteries still needed to be unraveled, and more threats loomed ahead. But with the power of love and friendship, they believed they could overcome any obstacle.

After defeating the mysterious figure, Delvi, Rojan, and the castle residents began rebuilding their lives. However, the shadow of the dark power and the enigmatic figure still haunted them.

Delvi, driven by her curiosity, began investigating deeper into the identity of the mysterious figure. She searched through the castle's ancient library and found an old book containing records about mystical beings and hidden powers.

In that book, Delvi discovered notes about a guardian of balance who wielded the power to control both light and darkness. However, it also warned that if a guardian misused his power, he could become a threat to the entire world.

Delvi realized that the mysterious figure they had faced was likely a fallen guardian of balance. She shared her findings with Rojan and Polo.

"So all this time, we were fighting one of our own?" Rojan asked in shock.

The angel nodded. "Most likely. A guardian of balance possesses immense power, but it's extremely dangerous when it falls into the wrong hands."

The three of them decided to investigate further. They ventured into the forest surrounding the castle in search of more clues.

Deep within the forest, they found a hidden cave. Inside, they discovered an ancient altar. On top of it lay a sword that radiated a mysterious light.

"This is it!" Delvi exclaimed. "This sword must belong to the guardian of balance!"

As Delvi was about to touch the sword, the cave began to shake violently. The walls started to collapse, and the ground trembled beneath their feet.

"Get out of here, quickly!" Rojan shouted.

They rushed out of the cave, only to find the mysterious figure standing before them.

"You have found it," the figure said with a sinister smile. "But you will never understand it."

The mysterious figure attacked them with full force. Delvi, Rojan, and Polo fought back but were overwhelmed.

Suddenly, a group of winged creatures resembling butterflies appeared. They attacked the mysterious figure from all directions.

"Who are you?" the figure growled.

One of the winged creatures replied, "We are the guardians of this forest. We will not let you destroy the balance of nature."

With the help of these winged beings, Delvi, Rojan, and Polo managed to defeat the mysterious figure once again. He vanished, leaving the mystical sword behind.

Delvi picked up the sword and stared at it hopefully. "With this sword, we can restore balance to the world."

Rojan nodded. "But we must be careful. This sword is a powerful weapon and can be used for both good and evil."

They decided to bring the sword to a safe place. They knew their journey was far from over.

Meanwhile, Art was forced to part ways with Rojan, Polo, and Delvi after the incident. He reported everything to Mr. Andrew, who then ordered Art to return to the land of Venezia, as the mission was now complete.

Rojan, Polo, and Delvi had changed after releasing their magic...

The angel later met with Art and explained that this time, Rojan and his companions were no longer the threat. Instead, the true mastermind behind the dark magic was a mysterious citizen from the land of Centaurus.

Now, Art, Rojan, and their companions would have to unite to fight against the true enemy.
