It was only then did I realize what truly was happening.
My heart began to sink.
I quickly turned around and saw my daughter surrounded by crows.
Her eyes were distant, dark, and cold.
Dark clouds were already gathering above, and icy winds had begun picking up.
“What the hell! When did Beryl awaken her powers?!”
Yana’s panicked screams were filling my head.
“We have to calm her down, or else she’ll lose control and wreak unimaginable havoc!”
The sky was becoming darker and darker-light was either blocked by dark clouds or the crow”s dark wings.
I began walking towards Beryl with the attempt to calm her down.
Unfortunately, before I was able to come close to where she was, her potent witch power attacked me.
It made me fall to the ground as my whole body felt immense pain.
“Crystal! Are you okay?”
Worry colored Yana’s voice.
“Beryl’s witch power is erupting! I can’t just suppress her power by force, or she’ll hurt herself!”
I was already thinking of ways to help my daughter.
However, I saw her already walking towards where the python and Rufus wasshe raised her arms, and in her childish, innocent voice, declared.
“Do not hurt my Daddy!”
In an instant, a strong burst of witch power rushed towards the python from my daughter’s little hands.
“Crystal! Are you okay?”
Crystal’s POV
The python howled.
The beam of ice-blue light transformed into a pillar of flame and bumed off a third of Palmer’s body.
A putrid smell filled the air, a mix of burnt meat and rotten flesh. It was probably the venom that made the stench all the worse.
My daughter worked quickly to refine the venom.
“Beryl is even more ruthless than you!” Yana yelled, her face twisted in disgust.
I covered my nose, but it didn’t stop me from retching.
Even I had to admit that she was right.
My daughter had a promising future as a witch, not only because of the immense power that she possessed, but also her skill in controlling it. She was already more tuned to her power that her peers.
The python release Rufus from its hold and fled back into the depths of the forest.
Unfortunately, my daughter was still raging, and her power was beginning to affect both Rin and Rufus. It reminded me of the time when I lost control.
If things went on like this, Beryl might go berserk and lose her mind altogether.
Worse still, her tiny body might just explode from the sheer magnitude of her power. I struggled to stand up and tried to tell her to stop, to no avail.
The situation was turning out to be more serious than I had ever anticipated.
In truth, I had already discerned my daughter’s gift in black witchcraft since the day they had been born. I always had this fear that she would be devoured by her power one day, so I always made it a point to restrict her from using it.
Rufus seemed to also sense that something was wrong.
He soldiered through the pain and approached our little girl. He shook her in an attempt to pull her back to her senses.
But Beryl was already out of reach. She formed a crystal ball in her palm and aimed it at Rufus.
“Beryl!” I screamed, frantic.
“Wake up! It’s Daddy!”
My daughter paused when she heard that, and she turned in my direction.
Joy and relief washed over me, but they instantly vanished as she popped the crystal ball into her mouth and swallowed it.
I froze in shock, just as everyone else around me did.
In the next second, Beryl’s power seemed to disappear, and she slumped into the ground. I rushed over, but Rin was faster.
She was immediately there, lunging on the ground to cushion my daughter’s fall.
I scrambled to Beryl’s side and checked her stomach, scared to death that the crystal ball would have done permanent damage to her body.
Fortunately, nothing was amiss.
That ball was made of her power, and when she swallowed it, it only fused back into her.
My daughter likely passed out because she was too young and too small to handle such an outburst.
