“There's no point in you crying like that, Prince. The tactics I used to defeat your father, just like I used you. I used his wife and son-in-law so that your father wouldn't use his powers against me. Your father was indeed an invincible and most powerful king of all time. But ...he was only a husband and a father when he didn't use his powers. That's why I was able to defeat him so easily while fighting him. Because, your father is just a human being without his powers.”
Rey's hands clenched even more firmly upon hearing the words of the black dragon sitting relaxed on his throne. Meanwhile, her mother continued to cry bitterly. This time, Fey's eyes looked blank as if there were no more souls residing in the body of Refald's wife.
“You .. take my life right now. But ... free everyone here.” Rey still looked down sluggishly as she spoke. “Let me replace them. Uncle, Aunt and my brothers, have nothing to do with any of this. I'll trade my life if you want to free them,” Rey said still with tears. There is no other way, only this is what Rey can do to save the lives of those Rey loves.
“What I need is not your life, Prince. But ... I want you to marry my daughter,” said the black dragon.
“I told you I can't marry anyone other than my wife, Rhea. Even touching another woman I can't. Even if you force me to marry your daughter, I will never be able to be with her. For, my heart and soul. If I break, then I will die.”
“There is one way to free your soul that is bound to your supernatural wife. You must suck your soul mixed with Rhea's and return the soul mixed with yours to her body. The trick ... You two have to kiss to exchange your souls back to your respective bodies. Until the process is complete, you must not stop. You must do well, otherwise ... your mother .. and all members of your family will vanish into that larval stream.”
Rey was silent, her eyes straight on the flow of the larva river flowing beneath her feet. It seemed, he was starting to find a way to save Rhea and the others even though the risk was to lose his own life. Rey observes one by one the people who are held hostage by the terrible monster and Rey has made up her mind. He was willing to sacrifice his life to save them all.
“Where my wife is now, I .. will do as you command.” Rey clenched her hands together without looking at the dragon.
“Huh, don't rush. I know you can't wait to kiss your girlfriend. But ... before you meet him, you must perform the wedding ritual with my daughter first.”
“What?” shouted Rey for a moment. He was very surprised to hear the words of the dragon. Apparently, this monster is sneaky as well. He accidentally doesn't give Rey space to escape,.
“Why are you surprised? The rule is that you should not touch any woman other than your wife, but there is no prohibition against you performing the wedding ritual without having to come into contact with my daughter. You can only touch it after you unseal the unification of your soul with your current wife. Once your seal is removed, and your soul is no longer mixed, then you are the husband of my daughter, not the husband of the girl named Rhea again.” The dragon laughed at Rey's expression.
Rey herself staggers back to hear the words of the black dragon who apparently knows a lot about her supernatural marriage to Rhea. “Who are you? How do you know that much about this supernatural wedding?” Rey's question was still in great shock.
“Beedeba you! I'll kill you right now!” rey shouted and he jumped high to attack the dragon.
However, with just one flick of a hand, the dragon managed to topple Rey to the point of being thrown away. His body hit the wall very hard. Rey fell helplessly sprawled and fresh blood straight out of her mouth. Rey tried to get up and attack the dragon again and the same thing happened. No matter how many times Rey tried to attack the huge creature, she still could not defeat the dragon.
“If you still try to attack me like that, then I have no other choice but to throw your mother into the stream of larvae,” threatened the dragon with a flash of angry fire.
Rey stopped hearing the threat from the dragon. His hands could only be clenched while enduring a great anger. His teeth were also grinding with emotion. Again, the monster uses his loved ones to take him down. Finally Rey understood, maybe Refald also experienced the same thing as he is now. His father could have been helpless when the cunning monster threatened him using Fey and Rhea's lives.
“Dad!” Rey closed her eyes hoping she could find her father. Because, up to this moment, Rey still does not believe that Refald is really gone. “Lend me your strength, we ... will soon meet again in nature there.” Rey tries to seek help through additional powers to defeat this black dragon. Rey wishes her father's soul would help her if Refald was dead.
However, Rey has not yet got an answer, suddenly a large bubble suddenly fell and entered the larval river with a fast. Instantly Rey opened her eyes and she was surprised, Bima.
“What are you doing?” rey shouted furiously. His eyes until reddened withstanding the flames of anger that could no longer be contained.
“I warned you not to mess with me, so I showed you that this is not a child's game. I know you're gathering strength against me. Do not take actions that make you regret. Hurry up and do what I say if you don't want your whole family to get into that river one by one. I always know what you're gonna do, never make a mistake. Otherwise, you will be the last eyewitness of these people I love to ashes.” The black dragon began to get angry looking at Rey. His words also sounded clean and firm which means, everything that happens is not a mere bluff.
