The Goddess and the Cursed Prince

20. They Succeed

"Current?" Chriss and Awldo came to a deep abyss that was crossed overgrown with higanbana flowers.

"There should be a glass bridge here" said Awldo, the man touched the ground and closed his eyes for a moment and then reopened them, "I suspect he bewitched the bridge to make it invisible."

"Then how do we get there?" ask Chriss.

Not until Awldo answered, the vines suddenly grew and twisted the bridge that was not initially seen.

"Well! Why are you guys quiet? Ijima needs our help!" reprimand a girl with a transparent red veil who was standing in front of the bridge.

The two men followed the girl's steps without much talk.

"What about your mission, Anya?" ask Awldo without stopping his steps.

"I couldn't focus on the mission once I heard the news that my friend had been kidnapped by the king of darkness!"

"So you left the mission? It's against the hunter's rules" Awldo said.

"I don't care, rules are made to be broken, right?" Awldo nodded, confirming the girl's words, the three of them stepped hurriedly to the end of the bridge.

As soon as it passed through the field of higanbana, the Roman feather of Chriss stood.

"What is this place? Why so many gravestones?" asked Chriss, his gaze could not be separated from the sidelines of the death flower.

"This garden was made by the king of Kasana only to cover the graves of his dead wives" Anya explained.

"This much?"

"Yes." Yeah." Chriss did not want to comment further, this was enough to prove that the king of darkness was a female enthusiast.

...👑...

The two royal servants of Regia forcibly pulled Ijima into the hall. Ijima was freed from the hypnotism of the king of Kasana.

"Take me off!" yelled Ijima, he tried to take his hands off the clutches of the servant.

They clenched, his grip even stronger like hinting the woman to be silent.

Once in the hall, the wives of the king of Kasana had already gathered. Their gaze was fixed on Ijima, they admired the beauty of the descendant of the goddess. There were two wives of the king of Kasana who carried the baby.

King Kasana, who had originally sat haughtily on his throne, stood near Ijima, flicking twice his index finger hinting his servant to leave.

He held Ijima's right hand and led her to the throne through the red carpet.

Srak

Suddenly the king Kasana's left cheek spewed blood which shocked his wives. It turned out that Ijima injured the king using a dagger he had hidden behind his dress.

"How dare you hurt the king!" hardik one of the wives of the king of kasana, they were prepared to attack Ijima but the king of Kasana told them to be quiet.

King Kasana looked at Ijima with love while Ijima looked at him with hatred. His left hand still faithfully held the powerful dagger.

"It's like you're still fighting, Ijima?" ask king Kasana softly.

"I won't bow to a man like you!"

The man laughed softly, he deliberately released his hypnosis on Ijima so that the woman felt the sensation of marrying him. King Kasana brought his face closer to Ijima's face to hypnotize the woman again.

But Ijima shook his head, he let out his divine aura with the intention of fighting the king of Regia.

"I've told you over and over again, I only belong to Chriss Kodama."

On the other hand, Anya could feel the warmth of Ijima's aura, she ran quickly to get to the Regia kingdom's gate.

"Thanks! Hurry up, only you can match the power of king Kasana," cried Anya who made Chriss nod confidently.

Chriss breaks through the royal gates of Regia and searches for her hall, once she directs her magic on the king of Kasana, causing the man to release Ijima.

Grep

Chriss quickly approached his wife and then clung to Ijima, who was exhausted. King Kasana told all his wives to save themselves.

With the three of them in the room, Anya and Awldo took care of the Regia soldiers who attacked them from all sides.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, Chriss" said King Kasana.

Chriss pointed to King Kasana with his sword, "I will kill you, you have made my wife come to this."

King Kasana laughed, "Who's fault? Isn't it your fault that you can't take good care of your wife?"

Chriss' jaw hardened, he attacked the man with Ijima in his arms, not letting the woman loose in the slightest.

The king of darkness took out a black ball that made Chriss stop attacking.

"Damn," he said.

"I just want to shorten my time." King Kasana drew his lips closer to the black sphere and whispered softly, "Hurt your container."

In that instant Chriss groaned in pain, a black mark was again imprinted on his neck. Chriss squealed in pain until he fell on the floor, trying his hardest to fight the monster that was lying on his body.

Raja Kasana laughed creepily at the scene, Ijima could not bear to see her husband like that even though he was still heartbroken but beyond the shadow.

Ijima grabbed both of Chriss' cheeks and kissed the man's soft lips, "Calm down" Ijima's inner voice. Indirectly the woman gave some of her power to Chriss so that her husband could return to his normal state. A warm feeling filled the man's body.

"Is this the power of Ijima? Warm and soothing," Chriss's inner self after Ijima distanced her face from her husband's

King Kasana harrumphed, "Why did you get the offspring of the goddess, when you were just a despicable vessel!"

"Shut your mouth" said Chriss staring intently at King Kasana, they both gave off an aura that had never been shown.

Chriss sat Ijima down and made a shield around him, so strong their aura made Awldo, Anya and the servants and guards unable to move their bodies.

"What kind of strength is this" lamented Awldo, not even top-level hunters can fight it.

Anya showed her smriknya, "The second disciple of the ascetic cannot be underestimated."

The fight was so fierce, neither side was willing to budge. Now that Chriss is superior, he can use the power of the Geni monster stably because of the power Ijima gave him.

Seeing the fight, Ijima's body shook violently his memory of the battle of the two kingdoms again filled his brain.

"No, I have to be sure Chriss can win this," she kept hoping.

With a single swing, Chriss slashed the body of the king of Kasana until it split in two. As soon as the dark king's body fell to the floor with blood everywhere, Chriss wiped the blood that hit his cheek with his thumb while smiling with satisfaction.

Instead of lamenting the imminent death of the king of Kasana laughed, "Hahaha.I acknowledge your strength Chriss, very great. This time I failed but I will make sure someday, the next generation of my descendants and your descendants will be in love with—"

Tired of hearing the rambling of the king of Kasana, Chriss stabbed the man in the mouth with his sword before he finished his speech.

"That's a big deal," said Chriss, slowly the king's body was gone. Their aura also began to disappear so that the inhabitants of the kingdom could move the body again.

Of course the king's wives mourned the departure of their husbands, but Chriss ignored that, he held Ijima ala bridal style and then took the two hunters home. This time they rode the clouds of Awldo's.

During the trip Awldo noticed Chriss sitting while treating Ijima who was sleeping comfortably in his arms.

Anya who saw it squeezed Awldo's left arm as a warning to turn her gaze because she knew the hunter liked Ijima, if she kept paying attention to him the sense of taking Ijima from Chriss would get bigger.

"Don't go ahead if you don't want to make a wound" Anya said through a telepathy she sent to Awldo.
