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.
