Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1132 Real Target
Crystal’s POV:
The python howled.
The beam of ice-blue light transformed into a pillar of flame and burned 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.
“Is Beryl okay?” Rufus asked, his brows furrowed in concern.
I nodded and swallowed the lump in my throat.
“She’s just weakened.”
“I’ll make sure a doctor is waiting for us when we get back.”
Rufus reached out and gently stroked our daughter’s face.
I checked the rest of Beryl’s body and belatedly noticed a cut on her arm, her blood gushing out and dripping on the earth beneath her.
Rufus followed the direction of my gaze and took out a handkerchief to wrap around Beryl’s arm.
“Mommy, Daddy. . .” our little girl murmured as her eyes fluttered open.
“Mommy is here,” I whispered lovingly, clutching her hand.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Beryl struggled to keep her eyes open.
When she finally focused them on Rufus and me, her lower lip trembled.
“You have to go and save the little monster!” she cried out.
“Their real target is Arron!!!”
