Gale looked at Aria and also sensed that the person standing in front of them was not the same Aria that he had been fighting the whole night.
The aura was obviously different, not to mention, this person didn’t seem to have anything going on inside her head.
"Has she been possessed by someone?" Gale asked.
"I think, rather than being possessed by someone—she has been consumed by her rage instead," Swan speculated. "It’s obvious that she refuses to lose and gets angry at the idea of being defeated."
Swan pointed at the red crystal on Aria’s forehead and added, "Look at that crystal. It’s the wrath crystal."
"What does it do?" Gale asked, as he truly didn’t know how many tricks this witch had up on her sleeve. "And how many crystals are left in her?"
"She should have one more if my count is not wrong," Swan replied. "But that’s not the point. That red crystal gives her an enormous boost in power. I don’t know how difficult it is to defeat her now."
Gale knew the situation was not light when Swan herself said so.
His gaze darkened towards the dark witch and he stated, "I will protect you. I will make sure that she will never be able to harm you."
Swan smiled at her husband. Unfortunately, as much as she wanted to be protected by him, she knew this was a battle between good and evil. It had always meant to be a battle between her and Aria.
Nevertheless, she wouldn’t mind an extra help, especially from her husband.
Aria looked at Swan and Gale, then pointed her finger. She shot a lightning bolt towards them.
Swan’s eyes widened because the lightning bolt traveled extremely fast and it looked like a fatal strike that could kill anyone, even an angel.
She didn’t have time to react, but it was Gale who quickly stepped aside and barely dodged the lightning bolt.
Gale was extremely fast, but for some reason, Aria could follow his movement easily and shot lightning bolts with deadly precision.
Gale began sweating as he tried his best to dodge many of the fatal lightning bolts. Swan’s invisible barrier might be able to protect them, but he didn’t want to risk it, since his instinct told him that the dark witch was extremely powerful right now.
Meanwhile, Swan was so shocked by how powerful Aria had become that she was left speechless.
Gale continued dodging until one lightning bolt finally hit Gale’s body, which was intercepted by Swan’s barrier.
Swan’s eyes widened as she dreaded even more when she realized something terrible.
"Gale..." Swan murmured.
"What?" Gale asked while trying to get away from Aria for now.
"My invisible barrier has cracked just with one hit from her lightning bolt," Swan muttered. "We only have one more chance before she destroys my barrier. It will take a while for me to set up a new one."
Gale gritted his teeth.
He quickly turned around and dashed away to avoid Aria’s attack. He wanted to make sure that even if that witch hit them with the lightning bolt, he would be the one to get hit instead of Swan.
"I—I am alright," Gale replied as he continued dashing away. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
