Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 322: Eclipse

[Music Recommendation: Fire Emblem Ost - Apex of the World]

NnoOtT—FfAAiiRRR!!! GRRoOOOARrrHHHH!!!

The giant flesh roared and shook the earth with just its roar. One couldn’t even recognize Aria anymore in this form. It was nothing but a monster filled with rage and desire to destroy everything on its path.

"Evacuate the children, the weak, and the wounded! We need to run away from that monster!" Rock shouted, and all the beastmen who had regained some of their strength quickly ran away from the giant flesh, while soldiers tried to help the fellow wounded soldiers and civilians to get away as far as possible from the giant.

But Swan and Gale didn’t budge at all. They showed no fear.

They faced the giant flesh by using Swan’s miracle magic to create invisible steps for Gale so he could leap from one step to another to face the giant flesh’s grotesque face.

It had no defined facial features. Its eyes were a bunch of heads grouped together. Its nose was hundreds of human knees conjoined together. Its mouth was just gaping in a weird shape, and the rest of its features were difficult to identify.

Swan showed no fear. She treated this giant flesh the same as she treated Aria before. She pointed at the giant with her finger and said in an echoing voice that was heard by everyone on earth.

Wretched beings. Surrender yourself before I send heaven’s retribution to you. Surrender to I, Swan, Goddess of Miracle, before my wrath will vanquish you out of this world.

There was a long silence from the giant flesh, before it suddenly opened its mouth wide, and charged a giant red beam that would destroy a kingdom in an instant.

GRRoOOOARrrHHHH!!!

The giant shot the red beam toward Gale and Swan, and they didn’t try to dodge. If they didn’t deflect this attack, it would kill even more innocent people.

Naturally, nobody would be able to survive that attack, so Swan used her miracle to defy all odds.

She kissed her husband’s cheek once more and whispered into his ear.

My dearest consort. Protect me with all your might. Your devotion shall be an unbreakable shield, and I shall be the source of your devotion.

"GRH!! GRAAAHHH!!!" Gale bared his fangs as he could feel the overwhelming power surging inside his body. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and created a shield that was unbreakable because he drew his power from his love and devotion to his beloved wife.

Thus, when the red beam finally hit him, the shield was proven to be undefeated, and Gale held his position as the giant flesh continued attacking Gale with a giant red beam until it got exhausted.

The giant flesh tried attacking Gale and Swan with its arms, but Gale used his unbreakable claws to slash its arms until they fell to the ground.

The giant flesh regrew its arms almost instantly, but it got frustrated because none of its attacks worked on Swan and Gale. It started stomping around while letting out a deafening roar, and it reminded Swan of her wretched half-sister who often threw tantrums when she didn’t get what she wanted.

"Sweetheart, we need to end this soon. That flesh will continue rampaging and might kill many of our people," Gale said softly to his beloved.

Swan nodded.

She whispered another miracle to Gale’s ear.

My dearest consort. You are my aunt’s—Selene, Goddess of the Moon—favorite. Ask her to give you her power, and she shall give it to you. We shall end this once and for all.

After Swan whispered that miracle, Gale could hear the voice of Selene inside his head.

’Oh my, it seems that it is our time to help,’ Selene commented. ’Fine, I shall lend you my power, little wolf. You may command the moon as you want it.’

Meanwhile, Swan could also hear her mother’s voice, ’I am sorry, my dear daughter. We are trying to push you until you’ve finally ascended. Do not worry about your son. I’ve already taken him out of his cocoon and he is resting with me now. I shall lend you my power. You may now control the sun as you want it.’

Swan’s lips curved up in a small smile. Then, she whispered one sentence in her husband’s ear, and they had a tacit understanding.

Gale closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, his glowing red eyes had turned silver, just like the moon.

He then shouted with the same echoing voice as Swan’s.

Goddess of the Moon, heed my call.

Grant me control over the moon. Punish the wicked with your everlasting cold. Let them know how heaven shall protect the wronged! The moon shall destroy all trickery hidden in the night!

Swan also did the same.

Goddess of the Sun, heed my call.

Grant me control over the sun. Blast my enemies with your scorching fury. Let them kneel and beg without finding any solace! The sun shall cleanse the evil!

All the beastmen who were still conscious witnessed how the sun and the moon slowly moved on their own until they were in line, with the moon covering the sun, creating a rare phenomenon.

The sun and the moon were aiming towards the fleshy giant, and once everything was ready, Swan and Gale exclaimed at the same time.

!ECLIPSE!

The sun began to shine brightly behind the moon, and a massive sun beam was shot out and hit the moon.

The moon absorbed the sun beam before it shot a massive beam with both gold and silver colors swirling together, which was called the Eclipse Beam.

The giant flesh looked up and saw the massive beam. The giant tried to counterattack with the red beam coming out of its mouth, but when he shot the red beam out, it instantly disappeared upon impact, and the Eclipse Beam hit the giant flesh directly.

GRrrROOAHhhHHHhhh!!!!!

The giant flesh screamed in agony as its entire body was obliterated by the attack from Gale and Swan.

Aria was stripped out of the fleshes entirely, along with her greed and wrath crystal within.

Aria felt her body was burning in absolute agony and she muttered in her heart.

’What did I do... wrong...’
