The castle shook with a dark, resonating energy as young Catherine stared at her bloodstained hands. Her voice trembled with rage and disbelief.
"What have you done, Harry?"
A smirk curved across young Harry's face, his crimson eyes glowing with unnatural brilliance.
"Yes… I can feel it. Graces flowing through me. Time for payback, little sister."
Ether & Harry (in unison): "Negative Element — Raging Avalanche!"
The ground beneath them convulsed. Stones and dust twisted together, forming a massive surge of crushing force that slammed into Catherine. The impact hurled her across the chamber, shattering the marble floor as she fell unconscious.
"Catherine!" Luke cried, rushing to her side. "Dad, do something! Stop staring at Mom's dead body and help her, please!"
Valot stood in silence, his eyes cold and unflinching.
"I don't want to get involved, but you should act, Dessers," he said.
Dessers' voice was low, grim.
"Let her handle this."
Ezra turned sharply.
"She's on the verge of death!"
Catherine's eyes fluttered open, glowing with a silver hue. Her body trembled, blood running down her arms, but she stood tall, defiant.
"Was that your best shot, big brother?" she spat. "This battle will decide whether you live or die."
Ether's voice echoed in Harry's head, nervous and trembling.
"No, Harry. I didn't sign up for this."
Catherine: "Forbidden Element { Place and Order!"}
"That's my element!" Harry shouted. "Ether, dodge it!"
"Too slow!" Catherine vanished in a flash, reappearing behind him. Her blade sliced cleanly through his fingers.
"I'm not done yet, big brother Harry."
Elemental Release {Dimensional Disorder!}
The air twisted violently. Harry screamed as half his limbs disintegrated under the dimensional rift.
"At this rate, you'll die, Harry!" Ether warned. "We have to get out of here!"
A glowing portal erupted behind him. In a desperate flash, Ether and Harry vanished.
"Cowards!" Catherine roared, her voice echoing through the broken hall.
Dessers placed a shaking hand on Luke's shoulder.
"Luke, I want you to go after Harry. Find him… and tell him this."
He leaned in, whispering words that only his son would hear.
