CHAPTER 180: CRYING LIKE A GIRL

Vritra squeezed April's arm tightly, she felt that her arm would break at any moment if he continued to squeeze

so hard.

He shook her and asked again.

- Answer me, what the hell did he do to me?

Alessandro attacked Vritra, stabbing his sword into his back. His attack would have killed any human, but Vritra

didn’t seem to be hurting him any more than a needle would. He threw April to the ground and turned around,

the sword still stuck in his back.

"You're a real pain."

Vritra spat in disgust, removing the sword stuck in his back from the ground and said.

"I should give you a slow death. | think that will make my anger wane a little."

Alessandro used his fists to fight since he didn’t have his sword. He struck the first blow, but he didn’t get

anything. Vritra struck back. His strength was overwhelming. Alessandro had barely withstood the blow. But after

five blows in a row, they fell to the ground. April, who was barely conscious, was a few steps away from them

and tried to help Alessandro, but she couldn't. She had exhausted all her magic.

Vritra continued hitting Alessandro without giving him tto counterattack, he didn’t stop until he left him half

dead, he created a fireball in his hand and said to him.

- I'll turn you into ashes, so you won't get in my way again, you damn scum.

April panicked, she crawled to | where her father was, grabbed him by the leg and said.

Crying like a... Let go.

With a kick, Vritra threw April away and said to her.

- Don’t interrupt me, you'll be next.

At that moment when she thought she would lose everything, April heard her mother’s voice.

- My girl, break the seal.

April knew that if she broke the seal she would lose her mother, but if she continued to refuse to do so, she and

Alessandro would die at the hands of her father. The image of her mother suddenly appeared in front of her, she

passed her hand as if wanting to caress her, but she couldn't, her hand pierced her skin, with a soft smile she

said to him.

- My girl it is tfor you to letgo, live your life and be happy.

A tear rolled down April's cheek. Sophia looked in the direction where Vritra was and said.

Crying like a Save him too, April did not understand very well what her mother meant, but she could not

continue caring, she wished with all her heart that the seal that blocked her magic would be released, a golden

door appeared in her mind that opened and like a river she felt her magic run through her entire house, before

her magic had been like a small case that dried up easily, but at that moment her magic becan infinite

ocean. April stood up, her body was surrounded by silver flames, Vritra groaned as she sent an overwhelming

power, something in him made him tremble with fear.

His daughter stood behind the silver-flenvelope, that overwhelming power cfrom her, although she was

small and looked like a porcelain doll that could break at any moment, Vritra could not help but tremble before

her, the darkness that lay within her, she must cry out for help. Her entire being told her to flee, but she could

not do so, her feet remained nailed to the ground. April's hair changed its red hue to pure white. She recited a

chant as she walked.

- Silver flames that purify everything they touch, spread far and wide and destroy the darkness that surrounds

the earth, sacred flames heal wounds and revive the dying.

When April stood in front of her father, she raised her face with firmness and authority, there was no trace of

fear or doubt on her face, she finished her chant.

- Flames bring light and illuminate the darkness.

At the end of her chant, the silver flames that surrounded April's body spread across the battlefield and reached

the horizon where an army of monsters was found, the screams and shrieks of the monsters as well as those of

ssoldiers corrupted by darkness were present. Vritra fell to the ground and began to writhe, those flames

that previously had not caused him any harm, were destroying him.

Alessandro’s wounds healed, Alessandro could feel how April's magic healed every wound on his body and

restored his strength, seeing her she seemed like someone different, she saw herself as a goddess who had

descended from the heavens, as the power left April, Alessandro could see how all the chaos had returned to

order, the army of monsters turned to ashes. Vritra was the only one who was still alive writhing like a leech on

the ground. April approached him, although her magic was powerful, it didn’t seem to be enough to kill Vritra,

she put her hand on his face and said.

_Let the darkness in you disappear.

Those words seemed to have power, because Vritra’s screams beceven louder, suddenly he fell silent and

his body began to turn into mud and began to crumble. April's flames were extinguished and her hair returned to

normal, it was a vibrant red again. She staggered, Alessandro rushed to her side and caught the subject before

she fell to the ground and asked her.

Aby, are you okay?

April had broken the last seal and used a lot of magic at once, she found herself tired, her magic at that moment

did not seem to have a limit however her body did.

She heard Alessandro’s voice speaking to her, but her consciousness was elsewhere, she saw her mother in front

of her, her long blonde hair moving in the gentle breeze, behind her the sun began to set behind the mountains

and beside her holding her hand, she found herself the one she had ever seen such an expression on her father’s

face.

- Mom.

- Thank you for freeing us. - What?

Your father had been trapped by the darkness, | couldn't free him, but you could, you were the only one who

could, thank you.

The image of her father told her.

Forgivemy girl, sorry for not taking care of you, for all the pain | caused you.

That was the first tApril heard sweet words coming out of her father’s mouth, sincere words that showed

affection, she began to cry.

He moved a little closer and said to her.

| have always loved you my little girl, you can’t imagine how much, but the darkness that preventedfrom

showing it to you, that darkness asked for your blood every t| saw you, that’s why | pushed you away from

me, ignored you and sent you far away, | could only do that to protect you, forgive this useless father who

couldn't take care of you properly, Abril knew that her father’s spirit wasn’t lying and her tears turned to

happiness, she had always thought that she wasn’t loved by her father, that she never had been, but she heard

that it was the opposite, that he loved her so much that he did everything he could to protect her, he made her

happy.

They both gave her a hug, they didn’t have a physical body, but she could feel the warmth of their hug.

| hope you are happy Abril, my little one, that from now on in your life there is only joy.

Her father said as he hugged her. Sofia told him.

- Even though you can’t see us, we will always watch over you.

April couldn't articulate a word, she just kept crying like a little girl in her parents’ arms, both of them gave their

little girl a kiss on the cheek.

- We have to go, but remember that you'll never be alone Aby.

Her mother said, both of them said goodbye with a warm smile, they turned into little specks of light, until they

disappeared completely, ascending to the heavens.

At that moment April becaware again that she was in Alessandro’s arms, he called her frantically, but she

couldn’t answer, she lost consciousness as she saw the sky filled with the colors of the sunset and the specks of

light that seemed to turn into stars.
