Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 308: Greedy and Grotesque

"W-what the—h-how could you recover after I drained all your energy?!" Aria panicked as she thought that she already had a complete victory over Gale and his army.

The sloth crystal should be able to drain his energy completely, making him unable to even lift a finger until Aria transfers some of his energy back.

"Your Majesty, I’m sorry I came too late. Queen Swan sent me to your side because she wants me to fulfill my duty as your... beta," Rock said as he kneeled in front of Gale. He didn’t know what Gale would say about him, but he was merely fulfilling his duty and showing his loyalty to the Kingdom of Beastmen.

Gale looked down at Rock Silverfang, his beta whom he had wrongly accused. He believed Rock willingly tried to attack his beloved before, but now that Jade’s confession had made it all clear, he realized that he had been cruel to Rock and also to his wife who kept speaking up for his innocence.

"Go and carry Blaze Silverfang to the Sacred Selene Lake. Dip yourself into the lake to heal your wound. My wife has helped me to recover from that dark witch’s clutch, and I believe that she must’ve talked to the Moon Goddess for help."

"Y-Yes, Your Majesty!" Rock almost cried when he realized that he had been pardoned by the Beast King. He rushed to help Blaze who was grievously wounded, and dashed to the sacred lake to heal their wounds.

Gale looked up at Aria, who was still floating in the sky. He didn’t plan on turning back to his giant wolf form, because it made him way too vulnerable against Aria’s strange spells.

Besides, he had decimated almost every undead around them. Most of them had been squashed until there was nothing left in their flesh. Some were trapped inside the pit caused by the constant earthquake that he created whenever he jumped, and the rest were cleaned up by the beastmen soldiers.

He looked around and realized that Aria had killed many of his soldiers. His heart was aching because he thought he could have minimized the casualties.

He had failed to protect his subjects.

"Grrhhh..." Gale grunted as he stared at Aria with his ruby-colored eyes. His eyes glinted dangerously, and Aria quickly closed her eyes before she got killed by Gale’s deadly gaze. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

However, the moment she opened her eyes again, Gale suddenly appeared right before her, and she accidentally stared at his deadly gaze.

"Urk! Ack!" Aria could feel her heart in her real body almost explode even though she only made eye contact for a split second. She quickly retreated to her real body as she needed to recuperate.

Little did she know, Gale was using his extreme speed to chase her shadow. His eyes were focused as he was on the hunt, and he soon saw the shadow entering a big rock in the middle of the forest.

"Ugh—what the hell was that?! I-I almost died from staring at his eyes for a split second!" Aria groaned as she returned to her real body. She wiped the blood at the corner of her lips and tried to calm herself down because her heart was still beating so loudly that it could explode anytime soon.

Madam Harsetti chuckled as she was amused, ’He has been freed from his curse, so there is no limitation to how deadly his gaze could be. The moment Swan frees him out of his curse with a kiss, he becomes ten times stronger than before. In exchange, he becomes vulnerable against magic.’

"T-then, I have to find a way to drain his energy again—"

CRACK!

Aria was caught off guard when there was a crack in the rock where she was currently hiding. The crack got bigger until the rock exploded and Aria was exposed.

"AH!" Aria covered her eyes because Gale was looking down at her with his deadly gaze.

But Gale didn’t care, as he swiftly grabbed Aria by her neck, choking her instantly.

"Urk! L-let me go! Let me go!" Aria tried kicking Gale’s stomach as she struggled to break free, but it felt like she was kicking a wall. Her eyes rolled up, and her face turned blueish under his strong grip. After ten seconds of struggling, Aria began to lose consciousness and felt like her head would explode soon.

Aria tried chanting a spell with her last breath, but—

CRACK!

Gale quickly snapped her neck and tossed Aria’s lifeless body on the ground. He looked down at the lifeless body and crushed her head by stomping on it once.

"Go and rot in hell, you crazy witch," Gale hissed as he spat on her corpse and turned around. He was grieving over many deaths that happened today and planned to do a mass burial for his beastmen kin.

As he planned to do so, he suddenly heard Aria’s voice behind him, "Do you think that you can kill me so easily?"

Gale turned around and saw a horrifying scene of Aria’s body standing without a head. Soon enough, the head of a random undead woman near her flew towards Aria’s body and put itself on the neck.

Aria cracked her new head a few times, and the face of that random undead woman contorted until it became Aria’s face once more.

An orange gem was embedded in her chest. She grinned, "This greed crystal makes me immortal. No matter how many times you tried to kill me, I will always regenerate and stitch myself up over and over. I can also do this."

Aria pointed at the corpse of an undead male whose lower half was already gone. The undead male suddenly walked towards Aria. His hands were detached from his body and stitched itself up on Aria’s back, giving her four hands.

She then pointed at another corpse and stitched herself up with their body parts, so she gained a bigger body.

Aria continued to do the same with other undead body parts until she turned bigger than Gale in his werewolf form. She had many heads and limbs all around her body, which made her look very grotesque.

Aria grinned at Gale, who looked horrified and said, "We’re not done yet, husband."
