Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 307: Help from His Former Beta

[Song Recommendation: Rabpit - Sanctity.]

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

Aria’s eyes widened when the chains that were about to bind Gale were suddenly deflected by the claws of a brown werewolf that appeared out of nowhere and blocked her from ever reaching Gale. He was a bit smaller in his werewolf form than Gale, but he was still bigger than most werewolves she had seen.

On top of that, she was utterly shocked because this werewolf could easily deflect the gluttony chains, which meant his claws had the same hardness as Gale’s claws.

"STAY AWAY FROM MY KING!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Aria paused for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Rock Silverfang, the Beast King’s original beta," Rock replied. He bared his fangs and unsheathed his claws, ready to fight. "And I am here to protect my King!"

Aria gritted her teeth. She didn’t know where this wolf came from. She was sure this man wasn’t here the whole time until he decided to just pop out like magic and started defending Gale.

But she didn’t care. She sent the gluttony chains towards Gale once more, and just like before, Rock was able to deflect them easily with his claws.

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

’Ugh, this guy is tougher than the rest of the beastmen and I’ve already used the entire sloth crystal to weaken Gale. Why is this guy here anyway? Who brings him here?’ Aria pondered as she never knew about Rock’s existence, nor had she ever met him in the beast’s castle before.

Rock leaped high just like Gale and tried to attack Aria to no avail.

Aria looked down at the brown wolf and asked, "Who brought you here? I remember you were not part of the beastmen soldiers before."

Rock didn’t want to answer that. He continued trying to attack Aria while deflecting the chains that tried to reach the Beast King.

"I am asking you—who brought you here?!" Aria yelled and shot a few exploding fireballs toward Rock. But the latter swiftly dodged each of them, which infuriated Aria even more.

Next, she aimed one of her exploding fireballs at Gale, who was still lying vulnerably on the ground, and just as she expected, Rock instinctively dashed towards his Beast King and shielded him, which made the fireball explode on Rock’s back instead.

BOOM!

"Argh!" Rock grimaced in pain. He could tell that his back must’ve been severely charred right now.

Aria laughed as she found this whole situation to be pathetic, "One after another, you animals are trying so hard to protect him. It would’ve been easier if you’d just hand him over, so I can make him mine. All of you can go home and wait for us to produce offspring."

Rock tried his best to endure the pain on his back and turned around to face the witch once more. He held the gray mammoth tusk pendant hanging on his neck dearly as a reminder of his beloved wife at home, so he could go on a long fight even if he was wounded.

"You sure are a fool," Aria sneered. "But alright, it’s not like I have anything else to do for now. Might as well kill one more of you filthy animals."

Rock observed his surroundings. Almost all of the beastmen soldiers were heavily wounded, incapacitated, or dead. He knew it would be impossible for him to fight the dark witch all by himself since she was so powerful after stealing the Beast King’s power.

Still, he had to continue fighting until his last breath.

He couldn’t help but look at the moon and pray to the one he worshipped, ’My dearest Princess Swan. There are so many who’ve died already. Please come and save us. The Beast King—your husband—needs you.’

Aria opened her palm once more and shot lightning bolts from her palm. Unlike the previous exploding fireballs, which he could endure somewhat, the lightning bolt would definitely kill anyone instantly. All Rock could do was continue dodging while deflecting the chains aimed at the Beast King.

Unfortunately, Aria soon repeated what she had just done minutes ago. She aimed the lightning bolt towards the defenseless Beast King, and Rock dashed towards him to shield his king once more, "YOUR MAJESTY!"

Rock was ready to die as long as the Beast King was safe.

After all, he had taken the oath back then to always protect the Beast King as his alpha. Even though Gale had long abandoned him, Rock still considered himself as his beta and remained loyal to him.

He simply wished his dearest princess could come and shower them all with her Goddess light.

"DIE!" Aria sent another lightning bolt to ensure that Rock would die instantly.

The moment the lightning bolts were about to strike Rock’s chest, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, repelling the lightning bolts and making them disappear after they struck the barrier.

Aria’s eyes widened.

"W-what was that?!" Aria tried attacking Rock once more with lightning bolts and exploding fireballs, only for them to disappear right before they hit Rock, who was still trying to shield the Beast King with his body.

Rock opened his eyes after realizing he felt no pain in his body. He looked at Aria, who kept trying to attack him but failed due to an invisible barrier that absorbed all the attacks in front of him.

He suddenly remembered his dearest princess’ barrier, which severely injured him when he tried to attack her back then.

"Princess..." Rock murmured as he knew that it was a grace given by his dearest princess.

Rock looked up to the sky and saw the dark cloud, which had been hindering the moon, had disappeared. As the moonlight shone so strongly, Gale began to regain his strength. He grunted as he had been incapacitated for too long.

Gale slowly stood up in his human form. He breathed heavily with his chest moving up and down. Standing under the moon, he was basked in silvery light, which became the source of his power. Once again, Gale had returned to his powerful self.
