Chapter 139: The Terror of Maleficent
Eleven years ago.
In the palace of the Kingdom of Rose, the little princess’ baptism night.
Maleficent smiled maliciously at the king and the infant Princess Aurora, and issued a curse: "King,
“Your lovely daughter will die miserably after being pricked by a spindle.
“After the little princess dies, the curse that has enveloped this country will finally come to an end.
"You will be plagued by terrible diseases. You will cough, bleed, and tremble on the floor... Your blood will flow out of the house and into the river, dyeing the river crimson...
“The lights of the palace will no longer burn, and the dawn sun will not reach the land...thorns, thistles and weeds will grow in a horrible way...
"The curse will forever linger on this once prosperous land!"
Maleficent still remembered the king's desperate face - it was a delicious taste that she would never forget.
Soon after, she learned that the king had imprisoned Princess Aurora deep in the palace in an attempt to avoid the curse of the spindle.
For this, Maleficent mocked the king's stupidity more than once.
…
One year ago.
When Aurora led the army of the Kingdom of Rose and repelled the invaders from Ende, the name of the Valkyrie spread to several nearby kingdoms.
"Maleficent, have you heard? A mysterious Valkyrie emerged from the kingdom of Rose that you cursed. She led the army to defeat the invaders from Ende."
Someone mentioned this during a daily discussion at the Witch Society.
“Where did this super warrior come from?” Maleficent stretched lazily without taking it seriously. “It’s really strange that a small country like the Kingdom of Rose can give birth to a super warrior.”
"Come to think of it, as long as you die, the curse of the Rose Kingdom will end. Aren't you worried that the Valkyrie and other people from the Rose Kingdom will come to trouble you?"
“Hahaha.” Maleficent sounded as if she had heard a huge joke.
"They are nothing but a bunch of untouchables, a bunch of insignificant untouchables without magic, destined to be mediocre, born and die like ants.
"Even if they become the strongest warriors, how can they compare to us?"
"On this continent, magic is the only thing that can do everything!"
"Only we, the most powerful magicians with long life spans, can be above all others."
…
months ago.
Rhine and Aurora help the Sea Kingdom and the West Asia Kingdom to establish an alliance.
Mermaids became guides for ships at sea.
"That wise man from the Rose Kingdom is traveling on the continent. It is said that he brought a very capable follower with him..."
Maleficent just smiled at this.
But it has piqued my interest to some extent.
"Could the difficult follower be the Valkyrie from before?"
"It would be nice to meet them sometime."
…
The memories faded, transforming into the face of the blonde girl before him.
Her facial features finally overlapped and merged with the swaddled baby in Maleficent's memory.
"It's you."
“It’s you!”
"Princess of the Rose Kingdom, Aurora?"
The dragon that Maleficent turned into roared.
She could not believe that the weak and delicate princess she had thought of would become the invincible warrior who could sweep through thousands of enemies.
The baby who was once in swaddling clothes and loved by everyone, today actually picked up the sword and cut her! "You finally recognized me, congratulations."
Aurora stabbed with sword after sword, forcing Maleficent to retreat and defend, and to dodge.
"So, I am the one destined to kill you!"
Maleficent laughed.
"I see, I see. No wonder you are invulnerable to swords, guns, water and fire."
"That's because you carry the blessing of the 12 witches."
"What a genius idea. Training our little princess into a warrior."
The Queen and the Sea Hag were also shocked when they heard what Maleficent said.
"So, Aurora is also a princess? Uh, I vaguely heard before that the princess of the Rose Kingdom was imprisoned deep in the palace. So that was just a lie?"
"A true princess has already become a warrior capable of challenging a legendary witch like Maleficent!"
Maleficent finally recovered from her shock, and a playful smile appeared on the dragon's face.
"You don't really think you can defeat me, do you? My lovely little princess."
"You don't think that just relying on the blessing of invulnerability to swords and guns and immunity to water and fire will make you truly invincible, do you?"
"Didn't you notice? From a while ago, I was just using the dragon's body to play with you. I haven't used any magic yet."
"Unlike that unskilled Eastern witch, my magic speed and effectiveness will not be compromised when I am in dragon form!"
Suddenly, clumps of thorns and thistles grew on the deck.
They stretched out their "hands" towards Aurora as if they were alive, wrapping around her tightly. These foul plants were tougher than steel.
"My little princess, you should have died on that night 11 years ago."
"I let you go back then and let you live until now, but you don't even cherish it."

Maleficent looked at Aurora who was entangled in thorny plants and pretended to be regretful.
The next moment, a fierce murderous intent burst out from the witch's eyes.
"In that case, shall I take back the gift I gave you?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Aurora shouted, her muscles suddenly expanded, and she used her terrifying strength to break the shackles of the thorns.
But new thorns appeared out of nowhere again, restricting the girl's movements.
"They are just some annoying plants. I just want..."
The dragon sneered and shook his head.
She uttered the vague, heavy, spine-chilling syllables:
"You're going to have a splitting headache."
"You're going to be dizzy."
"You will lose all your limbs and your legs will become weak."
"You will suffer great pain and your eyes will bleed...
"You will have difficulty breathing and eventually suffocate to death..."
The sea witch saw this and felt a chill in her heart: "Oh no, Maleficent is starting to use curses! The curse magic she is best at!"
This legendary witch is finally going to use her full strength.
She tried her best and used all kinds of magic on Maleficent, but it had little effect on the dragon.
In the following time, Maleficent gave up the useless attack and switched to pure passive defense, using thorns and thorns to entangle the opponent, delay time, and wait for the curse to take effect.
In just a minute or two, the curses came true one after another.
Aurora felt dizzy, her head hurt as if it was about to explode, she had difficulty breathing, her eyes were filled with blood and water, and her vision became increasingly blurred.
The girl gritted her teeth and used all her willpower to fight against the pain all over her body. The sea hag and the queen also used spells to assist her as much as possible. The soldiers around her cheered for this strong and strong girl and shot arrows at the dragon.
But her movements were becoming increasingly weaker, and even the swings of her sword were limp.
She was about to lose.
"Hold on a little longer. The teacher will be back soon!"
Aurora gasped for breath, and thought of the silver-haired boy again.
"My delicate and noble little princess..."
Maleficent looked at the girl who was getting weaker and pale, like a dead person, but still waving her sword at her, and said with regret: "Why didn't you cherish the 15 years I gave you to live?
"You could have lived a life of luxury in the palace, with servants serving you, just as the rumors say.
“You can eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, wear expensive clothes woven from silk and gauze, and have a large number of servants serving you.
"The palace musicians will play their harps and sing for you. When spring comes, the palace maids will pick the most delicate and beautiful spring flowers and put them on your hair. You can chase butterflies in the garden and smell the fragrance of flowers.
“Just like every other princess in the world.
"Besides, my little princess, you are blessed with the best fortune in the world, you are beautiful and charming, and everyone will like you! Why did you have to go through so much hardship and become the scary person you are now? "You could have lived a happy and fulfilling 15 years and experienced a wonderful childhood.
"Instead of risking your life by challenging an unbeatable enemy.
"Then, just like today, he had a splitting headache, bleeding from all seven orifices, weakness in his limbs, difficulty breathing, and finally died miserably in front of me!"
Looking at the dragon pretending to be sorry, Aurora used up her last bit of strength and thrust out the sword:
"Because, only by killing you, the culprit who brought disaster to the kingdom, with my own hands, can I have the happiest and most satisfactory ending!"
