Chapter 494 – Conviction bows its head to hope (4)
He was bound in flaming chains.
“Just a little more.”
Elias gritted his teeth and continued tossing and turning. He was exhausted, the demon tortured him for the last four days, but, fortunately, the strength still remained in him.
– Ice spirits… – he said quietly.
Souls crippled by the demon a few days ago appeared before him, but there were almost was not visible.
“Their strength will be small.”
He realized that souls could not cope with even such weakened chains.
– Wow… – Elias took a breath, raising the ice forces within himself, and grimaced.
He is recovering success to some extent, but those are terrible torture could not pass without a trace.
“But I have to get out.”
If he misses this chance, then the demon will obviously melt over Ariana.
– A-agrh!
Elias struggled to free himself, but the chains continued to bind him. He jerked with his left hand.
– Ahhh!>
The bone broke and the arm arched at an unnatural angle. Elias breathed heavily, but thanks to the arm that escaped from under the chains, his body began to move more freely.
“This is my chance.”
He focused on ice power. The ice spirits, fueled by his powers, turned into a small knife, about the length of a finger. Elias, using this knife, began to slowly cut the ropes.
“A little more…”

Right before his eyes, the chains that the demon had forgotten to recharge were weakening.
“Just a little bit! ..”
There was hope in his gaze and very soon the chains of fire that bound his body broke.
– Yes!
Freeing himself from his chains, Elias breathed heavily and fell to the floor.
“It worked! I did it!”
He grabbed his broken arm and got to his feet. The body freed from pressure was as light as ever.
– Ariana… Ariana.
Elias looked around. He didn’t care about anything except his own daughter. Even his life was not that important. Now his main task is to save his beloved daughter. “Time is running out, you need to hurry.”
He was sure that the demon was up to something again, and next time he would return with a new method of torture. So up to this point, you need to free Ariana. Elias staggered toward the exit. With each step, the pain in the tired body was felt more and more.
“Ariana…”
He closed his eyes.
– Ice spirits, – almost no strength left, but he gave the order – find Ariana.
The spirits lit up with renewed vigor, but it was clear from them that this was the last, what they are capable of.
– Agrh…
Despite giving the spirits a very light order, Elias felt his body hurt even more.
“We need to move.”
He gritted his teeth and walked on. He had a reason why he couldn’t stop. As he wandered in an unknown direction, simply running away from the place of torture, ice spirits appeared in front of him. Elias’s gaze brightened.
“She’s close.”
Since the spirits found her so quickly, it means that the demon was not holding her that far from him.
“Faster.”
Elias quickened his pace. The corridor that he often walked through seemed endlessly long now.
– Ariana…
He put all his strength into every step. Elias crossed the long corridor and touched the locked door. Opening it carefully…
– Dad?!
– Ariana!
He saw exactly as a daughter bound by the same chains of fire. The corners of her lips, which were always stretched out in a wide smile, now sank down, and her trained body curled up.
My Ariana… – Elias pulled her to himself and cried.
– Dad! .. – She smiled back and froze in his arms. – I believed that you would come for me! Necessarily! You couldn’t leave me!
She began to cry and her moan spread around.
– Hush, otherwise he’ll come here.
– A … – Ariana turned pale.
Elias looked down at the chains that bind his daughter and, of course, at her hands.
– Oh…
Only her little finger remains on her right hand. Elias grabbed her hand and began to cry.
– I’m sorry… I’m sorry, my child…
The realization that he could not protect his daughter cut a knife through the heart. He hugged Ariana even tighter and cried so hard that he began to catch his breath.
– Wait a bit.
Elias used the exact same small knife to free his daughter. Apparently, her chains have already weakened quite a bit, which is why the fire burned very weakly.
– Everything is fine, father… just run.
– Hush, – he cut her off, making it clear that no objections are accepted.
At this point, he managed to break the chains that bind Ariana.
– Ah! .. – her eyes widened.
Ariana smiled slightly and hugged her father.
– Dad!
– Fuh…
Breaking the chains, Elias breathed heavily and staggered. Ariana immediately grabbed him and supported him. Elias grabbed her hand, on which only a little finger remained, and closed his eyes.
– I… I will do it by all means so that you can hold the sword again.
– Dad…
– Don’t worry. I will personally kill this demon Oh Kang Wooon the day the end comes.
– This is dangerous, Father! – the girl shook her head in horror.
Seeing such Ariana, Elias darkened. He was not used to seeing his eternally cheerful daughter so scared. She had never cried before.
“Oh Kang Woo,” Elias clenched his fists in hatred.
Anger and anger rose in him.
“But not yet.”
At the moment, he is not ready to take revenge on this nasty demon.
“You should go back to Baal first,” Elias said, clenching her hand into a fist. – Can you walk?
– Yes, everything is fine. But dad… – Ariana looked powerlessly at Elias.
He smiled slightly and said:
– Don’t worry about me.
– But this terrible demon…
Ariana saw her father start to get angry and pressed her lips together tightly. He patted his daughter on the head and turned around.
– Let’s go.
Squeezing Ariana’s hand tightly, they headed for the exit. Elias scanned his surroundings with a keen eye, carefully taking step by step.
“It’s not safe here yet.”
He successfully freed his daughter, but they still haven’t made it out of the temple.
“We need to send her to Baal.”
Only then can Elias calm down.
– Oh-oh… – there was tension even in his breathing.
They were moving towards the throne of Elias: there was a Gate leading to Baal.
“Please…” – he swallowed hard.
– Your mother!
Suddenly a shout was heard from the room where Elias was previously bound.
“This is it.”
The demon realizes that Elias has escaped.
– Faster!
– Yes, father!
Elias grabbed his daughter’s hand and ran in the right direction. There was very little to go to the Gate leading to Baal.
– Wow!
The beautifully decorated room was supposed to have a throne, but due to the fact that it turned into a sword, it was not.
– Here!
Elias ran to where the throne used to be. He grabbed the scroll that Aamon had given him and opened the Gate leading to Baal.
“Out!”
There was hope in his gaze. A slight smile appeared on his face, stained with despair. He grabbed Ariana by the arms and said:
– Faster. Only a month left until the end.
Healing the daughter’s wounds is also important, but the main goal was not to postpone the day of the end. Because of the attack of the violators, his tribe was destroyed, but they survived.
– Why don’t you come in?
He and Ariana stood before the entrance to the Gate. She looked at them and grinned, smiling broadly.
– You say there is a month left?
Ariana’s image began to melt like ice in the sun. A black mass poured out from under the translucent ice from which her body was made.
Thanks for the useful information.
An image of a demon appeared in the darkness.
– Huh?.
Elias widened his eyes and stared stupidly at the demon.
– What… what is this?
Thoughts in my head began to get confused. What was happening was not assimilated in the mind. He had the impression that he was simply played poorly, or that he was stuck in a nightmare.
– Ariana?.
– Pf! – the demon grabbed his stomach and twisted with laughter. – Pha ha ha!
The laughter never stopped.
– Don’t worry. The stupid princess is fine.
The demon threw a transparent ball on the floor. It glowed brightly and a video appeared from it. Elias saw Ariana sleeping.
– Ah… – his gaze faltered.
His gaze immediately fell on the girl’s hands lying on the bed.
– Fingers…
All ten fingers were in place.
– Thought I was so awful that I would actually cut off one finger a day? The demon laughed and his shoulders trembled. “I don’t do that, you moron,” he shook his head.- Well, you looked at her…
The demon lifted the ball from the floor and bowed his head.
– Now you’ve found hope, haven’t you?
He saw that all of his daughter’s fingers were in place. This means that she will be able to hold a sword in her hands and she was not subjected to terrible torture. Hope is born in despair.
– So what? You don’t want to miss the chance and save her fingers?
He was already horrified when his daughter was brought to him a day, and now there was real hope in him. Consciousness simply won’t want to despair again.
– You… – Elias turned pale.
He realized that the demon was enjoying what was happening. Elias gave him a trembling gaze. In his eyes there was nothing but darkness, a deep abyss from which there was no exit.
Elias seemed to be electrocuted and enveloped fear. He recalled the moment of his first meeting with Baal. The darkness that he saw then…
– What are you?.
He thought that darkness was nothing compared to what he saw now.
– I already said, – the demon smiled broadly and shrugged. “I am the one who will make your convictions shake.
