Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 309: I need you, Swan...

[Warning: Grotesque Imagery.]

This was the first time Gale had ever seen something so horrifyingly grotesque, and his stomach couldn’t help but churn.

Many of the faces that were stuck on Aria’s body were groaning in pain as if they were in eternal torture. Contrary to their suffering, Aria laughed as she relished the hardened expression on Gale’s face.

"Ah~ I didn’t expect you to make that kind of face. Turns out, you still have other emotions than just rage or being pathetically in love with Swan," Aria commented. She stretched her arms—as she had at least ten arms right now towards him and said, "Come to me, husband. You know you can’t defeat me no matter what. You should surrender now so we can start as a married couple with a lot of children."

"You could’ve hexed me a thousand times, and I would still choose Swan," Gale stated.

"That’s why I don’t plan to hex you. I will beat you to submission, so you will be mine, hihihihi," Aria giggled like a madwoman as the greed crystal started to corrode her mind.

Gale was so disgusted that his eyes glinted dangerously. Aria was still vulnerable to that deadly gaze because Gale’s eyes didn’t only crush one heart, but also one’s soul. So she covered her eyes with one arm.

Gale took this opportunity to attack. He dashed at lightning speed and punched her stomach until it exploded, creating a huge hole in the middle.

Aria licked her lips as her body regenerated almost immediately and trapped Gale’s arm inside her stomach, "Can you feel it, husband? This is my stomach that will soon bear many of your offspring."

"FUCK!" Gale cursed out loud as he yanked his arm as hard as he could, and Aria’s stomach exploded for the second time.

Just like before, her stomach regenerated so fast that all of Gale’s attacks were rendered useless. Faced with such a predicament, Gale didn’t know what else to do except continuously attack her until he found a better way to kill her.

He tried aiming at the crystal inside her body many times, but it seemed the crystal was not inside her flesh, or at least it kept moving around her body to make sure Gale would never reach it.

"Ah, this is getting boring, husband. Maybe we can spice it up a bit with this—!" Aria pointed at Gale, and a horde of undead were resurrected instantly. Some of them emerged from underground and grabbed Gale’s legs, weighing him down so that he couldn’t move while Aria attacked him.

"Grh! Damn it! There are too many of them!" Gale kicked them one by one, but they kept regenerating nonstop. Some even began to get up and had their bodies automatically stitched so they could cling to Gale immediately.

’You look very disgusting, you know that?’ Madam Harsetti commented amusedly. ’If I were him, I wouldn’t even lust over you.’

"Oh, shut it, Madam," Aria grinned as she stared at Gale, who was busy trying to kill those endless hordes of undead. "I don’t care if he finds me disgusting or not. As long as he is by my side, I can naturally tweak his mind a bit, right?"

’Couldn’t say you’re wrong, but do you think that you will succeed?’ Madam Harsetti asked.

"Of course, just watch and learn," Aria replied confidently, as she pointed her finger toward Gale and started shooting exploding fireballs rapidly. The power she had drained out of Gale’s body before was very useful as she felt like she could’ve done this forever and still got enough energy to land a fatal blow on him.

Gale swiftly dodged all the incoming fireballs that exploded upon contact, but it was getting ridiculously difficult when Aria kept attacking him without pausing with fireballs on one finger and lightning bolts with her other one. Not to mention, the horde of undead that kept chasing him, hindering his movement.

Soon enough, Gale was overwhelmed by the amount of attacks directed at him. He jumped back, and a hand suddenly came out from the ground and grabbed his heel, causing him to lose his balance.

"Argh!"

Gale fell to the ground, and Aria quickly used the opportunity to attack him over and over with exploding fireballs and lightning bolts.

"Urgh! ARGH!" Gale couldn’t get up as he kept sustaining injuries. In the end, he was badly wounded all over his body and lay weakly on the ground as Aria laughed in amusement.

"Oh, don’t worry, husband. I will patch you up real nice soon—after I make you mine!" Aria released the gluttony chains once more. Without Blaze or Rock to protect Gale this time, it seemed that his fate was already determined.

Until...

CLANK!

The chains were deflected by invisible barriers once more.

Aria gritted her teeth. She believed that Swan couldn’t return to earth anymore, so she was trying to help Gale with indirect protection like the barrier, "Don’t try to stop me, Swan. I know this is your doing!"

Aria attacked the defenseless Gale with the gluttony chains once more, and just like before, an invisible barrier continued deflecting it.

"ARRGHH! JUST STOP PROTECTING HIM! HE IS MINE!" Aria was frustrated. She began barraging the invisible barrier with countless fireballs and lightning bolts.

Meanwhile, Gale stared at the moon with an empty gaze. He felt pathetic as he had been incapacitated twice in this battle against the dark witch.

He knew the dark witch had many advantages against him, especially when she had so many tricks up her sleeve, while Gale only relied on his incredible strength and deadly gaze.

But it still made him feel pathetic.

’Sweetheart, I do not know how to face you after this embarrassing defeat. I tried my best to fight her, but I have to admit, without you by my side, I don’t think I ever have the chance to win,’ Gale whispered in his heart. He lifted his hand towards the moon as he was on the brink of losing consciousness once more and finally muttered with all of his remaining strength, "I need you, Swan Asmara, my dearest wife..."
