Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 316: You will face judgment

Gale was about to put his wife down because he wanted to fight the witch first, but Swan wrapped her hands around his neck, making sure he wouldn’t let her go.

"Sweetheart, I have to fight her first," Gale said softly. He stared at his beloved with his loving ruby-colored eyes. "We will have a lot of time once we’re done with this."

Swan was reluctant. She wanted to spend all her time with Gale, but she knew she’d only be a liability if she kept sticking to him.

Thus, she let go of her hands, and then Gale gently put her down. Swan’s wings flapped once, and she hovered an inch above the ground.

"I will support you from here. Be careful, husband. Aria has many tricks up in her fleshy sleeve. We don’t know what kind of strange spells she would use next," Swan warned.

Gale nodded.

He knew he had to be extra careful right now. But first...

He looked at his wife worriedly, "I should probably bring you to the Sacred Selene Lake. It’s safe there."

"No need to worry about me," Swan smiled. She opened her palm, and the invisible barrier was finally visible to the naked eye.

Gale saw the barrier around Swan’s body, making sure that she was unharmed. She also created a barrier around Gale’s body for the same reason.

"See? We are well protected," Swan said. "Now go, my champion. Go and end this war, so we can go home with our son."

Gale clenched his fists as he was filled with determination. His eyes were locked on the witch-like wolf, ready for a hunt.

"Grrhh... GRHH!" Gale’s muscles began to tense, and he grew bigger while his body began to get covered with black fur. As he shapeshifted into his werewolf form, his red eyes glinted dangerously, and he dashed towards the fleshy abomination.

Gale was so fast that Aria couldn’t even see him. It was as if he could teleport freely around her.

She turned her head to the direction of the wind that blew because of Gale’s speed and began to shoot her fireballs and lightning bolts in random directions, hoping that one of them could hit him.

"W-wait, t-this isn’t fair, I can’t—"

SPLAT!

Aria’s head exploded as Gale punched her from behind.

He then punched her body in quick succession, dealing one blow after another. Every part that had been punched by Gale exploded due to how powerful the punches were.

Aria should’ve died many times by now, but the Greed crystal made sure that she would continue regenerating over and over, no matter how many times Gale punched her.

But that didn’t mean she was immune to pain. She was in so much pain, as if her body were exploding repeatedly.

’I need to do something. There is no point in trying to attack Gale. He is way too fast,’ Aria thought. ’There is also no point in regenerating only to get blown up repeatedly.’

Thus, Aria shifted her focus to Swan, who was standing still, waiting for her husband to finish the job.

She grinned and transferred the greed crystal toward the undead corpse near Swan’s feet.

"GRRHHH!" Gale punched Aria’s stomach as hard as he could, and it exploded into bits of fleshes, leaving her nothing but her lower body. He waited for Aria to regenerate again, but to his surprise, her lower body simply dropped to the ground, twitching a few times before it stopped moving.

Gale’s chest was heaving after exerting so much strength to overwhelm Aria’s nonstop regeneration.

He kicked Aria’s leg a few times to make sure that she was truly dead, before turning his head towards Swan, "Wife, we’ve won against her. The witch is dead—!"

Gale’s eyes widened when a corpse suddenly got up and attacked Swan from behind.

Aria created a sharp knife using her spell and then aimed at Swan’s neck. Swan might be immune to any magic attack, but she doubted that Swan was immune to physical attack as well.

"SWAN!" Gale dashed as fast as he could to save his wife, but Swan didn’t move at all. She closed her eyes, and when the knife touched her neck, Aria suddenly lost control over her body.

She tried to back off, thinking that Swan must’ve planned to attack, but Swan did nothing other than look over her shoulder and smile at her half-sister amicably.

Swan had such a sweet smile, but Aria felt chill all over her body to the point that the hand holding the knife was shaking.

"You’ve never been this smelly in your life, Aria. What’s wrong with you?" Swan asked. "Have you given up on your life as the Golden Princess?"

Gale reacted fast before Aria could answer that question. He grabbed Aria by the neck and slammed her to the ground, destroying her body entirely.

Aria’s greed crystal moved into another body, but this time, she tried to find a body that was far from Swan and Gale, much to Madam Harsetti’s amusement.

Once she found the one she needed, she began to sneak out of the forest, trying to escape Swan and Gale.

’Little witch, are you not going to fight her anymore?’ Madam Harsetti asked. ’I thought you said you can’t wait to kill Swan.’

Aria said nothing. Her body felt so weak when she had such close contact with Swan. For the first time in her life, she was so scared to the point of wanting to run away from Swan.

’Little witch?’

’Shut up! Don’t you see how powerful she has become? I won’t waste my life fighting against her! I’ll hide for now and find a way to kill her later!’ Aria replied to Madam Harsetti.

The Madam chuckled, ’Unfortunately, that angel doesn’t want you to leave.’

’W-what does that mean—?’

’Your crystal. It has been marked by the angel,’ Madam Harsetti replied.

Aria looked down at her chest and saw the greed crystal was shining brightly.

"We’re not done yet, sister."

Aria looked up and gasped when Swan suddenly appeared in front of her with Gale.

Swan had a piercing smile as she said, "You’ve hurt my husband, my people, and myself. You will face judgment right here, right now."
