Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill

Ethan rolled his shoulders lightly as if loosening stiff muscles after a long rest.

“Well then,” he said calmly, “my turn.”

Before the words fully settled, he vanished.

BOOM!

The ground where he had stood exploded inward as his figure appeared directly before Herios.

Too fast.

Herios barely reacted before Ethan’s sword moved. A single horizontal slash cut through the air with frightening precision.

CRAAANG!

Herios raised his axe instinctively, but the impact felt like being struck by a falling mountain. Shockwaves burst outward and tore through the battlefield while his massive body was thrown backward, carving a deep trench across the frozen land.

Nearby demons were blown away like dry leaves in a storm.

“What—!”

Herios slammed his feet into the ground to stabilize himself, yet blood already trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Kiea immediately attacked from Ethan’s blind spot. Her sword expanded with dark energy and aimed directly for Ethan’s neck.

SWOOSH!

Her strike passed through afterimages.

Ethan appeared behind her instead.

“You’re slow.”

His voice sounded calm, almost disappointed.

Kiea’s pupils shrank in shock. She twisted her body desperately and barely blocked with crossed arms.

BANG!

The strike sent her crashing into the frozen earth. The ground shattered beneath her as dust, snow, and broken stone erupted upward.

From Frostvele’s walls, cheers erupted uncontrollably.

“He pushed them back!”

“Lord Ethan drove them away!”

Miranda’s eyes widened in disbelief as she leaned forward over the wall.

“He’s fighting both of them alone…”

Nera exhaled slowly while gripping the command crystal tighter.

“So this… is Father’s real strength.”

Above the battlefield, Herios roared furiously and leapt forward again. Demonic energy erupted around his body like burning flames.

“You arrogant human!”

His axe descended with overwhelming force, and the sky itself seemed to split under the pressure.

Ethan finally raised his sword properly.

CLANG!!!

The collision froze the battlefield.

A massive shockwave spread outward and flattened snow across hundreds of meters. Soldiers and demons alike were thrown off balance as the air screamed under the violent pressure.

For a second, both stood locked in place.

Then Ethan stepped forward.

Just one step but this forces a heavy pressure on Herios.

CRACK!

Herios’ knees bent involuntarily as the ground beneath him collapsed. Invisible strength crushed down upon him like an entire mountain.

Ethan’s blue eyes remained calm.

“You rely too much on brute force,” he said quietly.

With a twist of his wrist, he redirected the axe aside and drove his elbow into Herios’ chest.

BOOOOM!

Herios was launched into the distance like a cannonball, smashing through multiple demon ranks before crashing violently into the earth.

A deep silence followed for a moment.

Kiea slowly rose from the crater while breathing heavily. Fear finally appeared clearly in her expression.

Herios wiped blood from his mouth and growled.

“…I noticed.”

Dark demonic markings suddenly spread across both their bodies as their aura surged violently. Black lightning crackled around Herios while Kiea’s lion-like armor expanded, releasing savage pressure that forced nearby fighters away.

They were releasing their true power.

From the walls, Phillips frowned deeply.

“They’re going all out now.”

Julia tightened her grip on her sword but kept watching silently.

On the battlefield, Ethan observed them quietly and sighed again.

Crimson aura flared sharply behind him.

For a brief instant, a phantom dragon silhouette appeared overhead. Its enormous shadow stretched across the battlefield before fading away.

The pressure crushed downward instantly.

Thousands of weaker demons collapsed where they stood, unable to endure the overwhelming aura. Even Herios and Kiea staggered slightly under the weight.

Ethan slowly lifted his sword, and this time killing intent flowed clearly without restraint.

“Count Ethan is so strong!”

Watching the intense battle between Ethan and the legendary demon warriors, the soldiers defending Frostvele stood stunned.

One person suppressing two Legendary Realm demons.

And he still looked relaxed as if he was merely warming up.

This level of strength was truly astonishing.

With such a powerful ally standing before them, fear slowly vanished from their hearts. Morale inside Frostvele surged rapidly as soldiers roared and pushed back against the demon assault with renewed determination.

Unknowingly, Ethan had boosted the fighting spirit of the entire city.

At this moment, Ethan who had finished warming up decided to end the battle.

He inhaled slowly.

“Holy Light Slash.”

Bright mana erupted from his body and gathered into the Holy Sword. Pure radiant light spread outward, forcing even demonic energy nearby to retreat.

Ethan swung his blade.

Once.

Twice.

Then several times in a precise cross pattern.

Blinding arcs of holy light tore across the battlefield, cutting through space itself as they rushed toward Herios and Kiea with unstoppable force.

The giant energy sword moved forward with unstoppable momentum. Sharp wind pressure tore through the battlefield as the massive blade of light slashed toward the two demon siblings standing below.

10:09

The ground cracked apart along its path, and snow, stone, and demon corpses were blown away like dust.

If this strike landed directly, the two would be cut in half instantly. Even surviving it would leave them severely injured.

“FUCKKKK!”

Feeling the overwhelming aura of death rushing toward them, fear filled the eyes of Kiea and Herios. Their pupils shrank as instinct screamed danger.

Both roared at the same time and released all their strength. Demonic energy burst outward violently as they attacked with everything they had, trying to resist the incoming strike capable of wiping them from existence.

Dark slashes and violent energy waves shot forward.But it was too late.

Their attacks were sliced apart like butter under a hot knife. The holy blade continued forward without slowing, tearing across the land and splitting the battlefield open.

The giant sword, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter cliffs, was already upon them.

Just as the two were about to be killed by Ethan’s strike, a magic scroll emitting a terrifying magical aura suddenly appeared above them.

The scroll tore open automatically.

A semicircular shield made of translucent crystal lattice formed instantly in midair and enveloped both demons.

Spatial shield activated.

BANG!

Ethan’s massive qi sword slammed directly into the barrier.

BOOOOOOM!

A deafening explosion erupted. The impact sounded like countless layers of glass shattering at once, and shockwaves spread across the battlefield, throwing nearby soldiers and demons off their feet.

Dust and light swallowed everything.

For a brief moment, Ethan believed the shield had broken.

However, when the light faded, the crystal barrier remained completely intact.

Not even a crack appeared on it and this greatly shocked him.

“What the?”
