Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 313: And The Angel Shall Descend from Heaven (IV)

Swan’s eyes widened, and so did the two goddesses who didn’t expect Swan to develop her independent ability so quickly.

Next, Swan sent her blessing to her husband and knight. The moment Aria’s attack was about to fatally strike Rock, an invisible barrier was erected around Gale and Rock, which acted like a giant wall that couldn’t be destroyed no matter how many times Aria attacked it.

She saw that her husband was still too weak after being drained out by Aria’s crystal. He needed a boost of power coming from the moonlight. Swan turned her head towards her aunt, Selene.

"Aunt, please help me! My husband needs a boost of power from the moonlight!"

Selene didn’t answer at first, so Swan urged her even more.

"Aunt! Please!"

"I’ve given him a boost of power before. There is no point in giving him more when he’ll just lose it to that dark witch in the end," Selene said. "Give it up, Swan. He is not worth saving."

Swan glared at her aunt. She didn’t expect her aunt who had always referred to Gale as her ’Little Wolf’ would be so cruel to just abandon him when he needed her the most.

She was so fed up with both her mother and aunt at this point so she yelled, "FINE, IF NONE OF YOU WANT TO HELP, THEN I WILL DO IT MYSELF!"

Swan looked at her husband from the edge of the pond. She still had little to no idea how her power worked, but she was desperate to save her husband. Using all her willpower, she imagined how the moon would shower Gale with power and muttered, "Please, please let me do it! Please let me use Aunt Selene’s power to bless my husband!"

Swan’s hands which were dipped inside the pond started to shine in silver and blue color, and the moonlight shone brightly, showering Gale with so much power that he soon recovered his strength.

Selene and Asmara looked at each other in disbelief. They didn’t expect Swan to be able to use the Moon Goddess’ power. Swan might not have realized it, but what she did was a feat that only a Goddess could do, because the moon was the domain only Selene had control over.

Swan pulled her hand out of the pond. She breathed heavily because it felt like she just did something so strenuous. She put her baby on her lap as she was resting, hoping that would be enough for Gale to continue fighting.

Asmara and Selene continued glancing at each other, wondering when would be the right time to finally stop this pretense. But seeing how Swan could manifest her power easily when she was cornered, they decided to go on with their fake indifference.

Unfortunately, Swan had no time to rest after she was drained. She wanted to make sure that her husband was alright. So, she watched the pond again and saw that Gale was fighting against Aria bravely.

He was so quick that even Swan couldn’t see his movement at all. After some chasing, he finally found Aria’s hiding spot and cracked the rock open.

Swan covered Sol’s eyes when Gale snapped Aria’s neck and tossed her on the ground.

She let out a relieved sigh, "It is finally done. Aria is done for."

"Not yet," Asmara said. "I am yet to feel her soul entering hell, so she’s not dead yet."

"But we’ve seen Gale killing her."

"Swan, look," Asmara pointed at the pond.

Swan looked at the pond once more, and her eyes widened when Aria restitched her body so easily with the head of a nearby undead.

The crystal in her chest began to shine, and she started using many body parts of other undead around her to create a big version of her that was basically immortal.

Gale tried to attack her to no avail. When he was surrounded by so many undead, he had to dodge them while also dodging the fireballs and lightning bolts that Aria threw at him.

In the end, Gale was downed once more as his attack was proven to be ineffective against Aria.

"Just as I expected, Gale is weak against the dark witch," Asmara commented. "The dark witch used many strange spells that could bypass Gale’s magic invulnerability."

"Well, the stronger the sun gets, the darker the shadow becomes," Selene added. "This witch is very strong for her age. Probably the strongest I’ve ever seen in centuries."

Swan got worried. She dipped her hand inside the pond once more and started using her invisible barrier to protect her husband.

But there was no point in trying to do this over and over if Aria would constantly use strange spells to counter Gale and defeat him.

"Don’t just stare at me! Please do something to save him!" Swan yelled at her mother and aunt again, but neither of them wanted to help.

They sighed in unison and Asmara said, "The only one who can defeat Aria is you, Swan. The holy magic is naturally used to banish evil."

"Then let me go down there! I will help him myself!" Swan exclaimed.

"You can’t. You’re not strong enough against her. That witch is very crafty," Selene refused.

"But my husband is in danger!"

"Swan... maybe it is time for you to let him go," Asmara muttered.

Swan looked at her mother in disbelief, "What are you saying, Mom?"

Asmara sighed, "You are meant to be with us here, in the Goddess realm. Even if Gale goes to heaven, this Goddess realm is an exclusive domain, which he can’t visit. So I believe you should let him go, and live a peaceful life here with us."

Swan was too shocked to even react. She kept staring at her mother with both rage and disappointment. Her emotions began to run wild.

The water in the pond began to ripple, and she said, "None of you have the right to tell me what to do, especially when it’s about my husband or my son."
