Chapter 357

~Zara’s POV~

Mother’s words stung deeper than the attacks, but before I could respond, she vanished.

My eyes darted around, searching. My instincts screamed, but before I could react, a hand gripped the back of my neck, shoving me forward. I crashed onto the ground with a grunt, my palms scraping against the dirt.

"You are weak," my mother stated, her voice laced with disappointment.

I clenched my jaw, pushing myself up again. "I—"

Another hit.

This time, an energy wave slammed into my chest, sending me flying. I hit the ground hard, coughing as pain exploded through my ribs.

"Arrrrgh fuck!!"

Astrid groaned inside me. She was ready to come out and take over but I pushed her back down, only allowing her to heal me while I tried to force the seal to break.

"Do you think your enemies will pity you?" Mum’s voice was merciless. "Do you think they will hold back?"

I coughed, struggling to rise. My arms trembled from the impact, my body screaming in protest.

"Look at you," she scoffed, her golden light burning brighter. "Pathetic. You were born from power, yet you cower like a child. Your father would be ashamed."

I froze, my breath catching.

That struck deeper than anything else. I may not have known my father growing up but to be called a disappointment... that was low even for my mother.

"You disgrace his legacy," she continued, her voice unwavering. "A weak little girl who ran and hid while others died for her."

Rage surged in my chest. My fingers curled into the dirt. "I didn’t run. I was kidnapped!"

"Yeah, lucky you. Else you would have been dead or who knows, turned into a dark witch."

"Seriously, Mum?"

"Still afraid?" she taunted, lifting her hand. Another golden blast formed at her fingertips. "Then let me remind you what it means to be powerless."

My anger surged, pain, fear, rage; every emotion I could think of came rushing into me all at once. The blast came at me fast, too fast.

But this time, I didn’t move.

I clenched my teeth, something inside me snapping.

A deep, powerful heat surged through my veins, a tingling sensation spreading across my fingertips, my hands and my arms. It wasn’t just fear. It was something greater. Something stronger.

My vision blurred as my breath hitched. I felt... different and then... BOOM!

A shockwave erupted from me, knocking everything back, white blinding lights sparkling everwhere. My mother, the warriors nearby, and even the ground itself trembled beneath the force of my power.

Then, as the dust settled, I saw my mother lying several feet away, stunned. The warriors who had been watching were sprawled on the ground, some scrambling to their feet with wide, startled eyes. The training dummies had been shattered. _{freёwebnovel.com}

My fingers tingled, glowing faintly with a silvery-white light. My entire body felt... alive. More powerful than ever before.
