Chapter 58: Chapter ~ Awakening The Power

“Luca, please hold on,” Belinda pleaded as she saw Luca’s condition, gravely injured.

“I can hold on a little longer.” Luca pulled out a blue crystal from his pocket.

“This is a stone for transportation to the mansion. Just step on it, and you’ll be instantly transported to the mansion. Find Darish there; he will take you to meet Zenon,” Luca said, struggling to catch his breath. “I’ll buy us some time. While I distract him, you run and head to the mansion.”

“No! I will never leave you, Luca. I will stay with you,” Belinda cried, clutching Luca’s hand tightly.

“Listen... Your existence is invaluable. You are the protector and savior of this planet and others. Don’t you want to protect your Earth?” Luca said firmly. “Go now, I’ll handle Zeos.”

“I will never leave you,” Belinda said resolutely.

“Bell?”

Belinda looked deeply into Luca’s eyes. “If you die here, then I will die with you.”

Thump!

Luca was shocked by Belinda’s determined words.

“Now, you rest. I’ll face that demon,” Belinda declared.

“Have you both finished your farewell speeches?” Zeos interjected. “Such touching words,” the demon laughed loudly.

“So, who should I kill first? Or should I just finish you both at once?” Zeos taunted with a smirk.

“Belinda, please go!” Luca commanded, trying to stand but failing due to his weakened state.

Belinda stood in front of Luca, clutching three crystals in her pocket and closing her eyes.

“Goddess of the Bloodmoon... If I am truly your descendant, if I am destined to bring balance and peace to every planet in this galaxy, then grant me all your power. Let me destroy the demons that threaten the well-being of this galaxy,” Belinda whispered to herself. Her body burned with heat, her blood coursed rapidly, and her heartbeat quickened.

The power surging within her awakened dormant energy. The crystals in her hand gleamed, emitting an ever-brighter light as if responding to her call.

In front of her, Zeos stood tall, a sinister smile etched on his face, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

“That light won’t be enough to protect you!” Zeos mocked. “You’re just a girl dreaming of being a hero.”

But Belinda remained unfazed. In her mind, she visualized the Bloodmoon’s power flowing through her—a force not just of light but of life, hope, and courage, defying the darkness.

“These farewell words will not mark the end but the beginning of a new dawn,” Belinda declared softly yet firmly. Instantly, a surge of energy erupted from her body, forming a towering, spiraling aurora.

With unwavering determination, she launched her first attack. The light radiating from the three crystals spread, creating a wave of energy that shook the surrounding air. Zeos staggered, forced to retreat momentarily as the vibrations shifted the atmosphere.

“This... is impossible!” Zeos shouted, cornered by Belinda’s energy barrier. “How can a worthless girl like you unleash such power?!”

“I am not an ordinary girl. I am the galaxy’s balancer, and I will ruin your plans!” Belinda replied with determination, channeling every ounce of energy into a lethal strike toward Zeos.

At the same time, Luca, lying weakly, felt the ground tremble beneath him from Belinda’s awakening power. Her body lifted into the air, dazzling white wings emerged from her back, her glowing orange eyes illuminated, and a crescent moon symbol appeared on her forehead.

Luca gasped at the emergence of such immense power. Even the wind around Belinda surged powerfully.

Zeos stared in shock at Belinda’s transformation.

“What... is happening?” Zeos muttered, his eyebrows furrowing as his confidence began to waver. Belinda, once fragile, now appeared majestic, as though the universe acknowledged her power. Her radiant white wings emitted a soft, shimmering light, forming an aura of protection and strength.

Luca, despite his weakened state, couldn’t help but express awe.

“Belinda... She’s incredible!” he exclaimed, feeling reinvigorated by her spirit. Belinda had become a true warrior.

The wind blew more fiercely, heralding the arrival of new strength to confront evil. Standing against Zeos, Belinda soared higher, not just to display her power but to assert her commitment to the fight.

“Zeos, today marks the end of your reign!” Belinda shouted, her voice filled with strength and conviction. “I will not let you engulf this world in your darkness!”

Zeos, though startled by her transformation, gathered his composure. “You think this will stop me? Your power is far from enough!” he roared.

He began gathering dark energy in his hands. “Let this be the grandest show ever!”

In an instant, shadowy black golems formed around Zeos, towering menacingly. But Belinda stood firm, raising her hands and drawing upon the essence within her. The light from her wings intensified, forming an energy field around her.

“Goddess of the Bloodmoon, bless me with your presence!” Belinda called out as the energy field prepared to counter Zeos’s assault.

With unyielding bravery, she launched her next strike. The surroundings trembled violently as brilliant light burst toward the wave of darkness created by Zeos.

Luca, observing everything from his place, felt his spirit reignite.

“I can’t just lie here!” he urged himself, mustering all his strength to rise.

Determined, he fought to stand. “Bell, I’ll support you! Together, we can do this!”

In this epic battle between light and darkness, two forces clash for justice and despair, determining the fate of the galaxy in those critical moments.

With a fiery determination burning within him, Luca fought against the weakness that chained him. Each heartbeat resonated in sync with the battle unfolding before his eyes. Although his body was barely able to move, one goal coursed through his mind: to protect Belinda and stand by her side in this fight.

For a moment, he could feel the flow of energy gathering around him. It seemed as though Zeos's dark power was attempting to pierce through his fragile defenses, but Luca refused to surrender.

Belinda and Zeos were locked in a battle that shook the heavens, as darkness and light clashed with earth-shattering force. As Belinda unleashed all her strength, she felt the radiance of the Bloodmoon Goddess flowing through her, reigniting her spirit to fight.

“Light will always pierce through the darkness!” Belinda shouted with resolve, channeling energy into her attack. Her voice echoed with certainty, as if the entire galaxy could hear and bear witness to her words.

Zeos smirked disdainfully. “You can’t defeat me with mere conviction!” he sneered, summoning a growing black golem. The shadowy figure advanced, sending waves of darkness that began to touch the edges of Belinda’s field of light.
