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

Chapter 719: 719:The Crown Prince Strikes Back

”What is this?”

Queen Ophelia carefully observed the glowing patterns beneath her feet.

Her expression gradually became serious.

”This is a large draining formation.”

”It continuously absorbs the spiritual energy of everyone trapped inside it.”

”The stronger the person...”

”The more energy it tries to steal.”

She slowly looked toward the outer edge of the formation.

”The formation itself isn’t attacking us.”

”It wants to weaken us first.”

”If we stay here too long...”

”Our strength will continue falling.”

The surrounding experts immediately understood the danger.

Queen Ophelia gently raised her crystal staff.

”I’ll break it.”

Brilliant white light erupted around her.

Countless magical symbols appeared in the air while several Eldoria Grand Mages immediately stood behind her and poured their own magic into the spell.

The surrounding miasma rapidly retreated before the holy light.

Queen Ophelia pointed her staff toward one section of the circular formation.

”That point.”

”It is one of its supporting nodes.”

”If we destroy it...”

”The entire formation will collapse.”

The crystal atop her staff shone brilliantly.

A massive beam of pure white light shot forward.

Boom!

The beam struck the glowing formation with overwhelming force.

Cracks immediately spread across the shining circle.

The surrounding Grand Mages released their own attacks at the same point.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More cracks rapidly spread outward.

Finally...

Crash!

The enormous circular formation shattered into countless fragments of light before disappearing completely.

The heavy pressure weighing on everyone’s bodies instantly vanished.

Many commanders let out long breaths of relief.

Their spiritual energy immediately stabilized.

Just then...

Several figures slowly emerged from the thick sea of miasma ahead.

Then dozens.

Then hundreds.

Groups of powerful experts quietly stepped out from every direction, silently surrounding the Allied Army.

Their expressions remained cold as they tightened the encirclement.

At the very center of them all...

A familiar figure slowly walked forward.

Crown Prince Haster.

His face remained calm, yet a deep frown rested between his brows as he looked directly at the four rulers standing before him.

The moment Emperor Ezekiel saw him, his eyes flashed with killing intent.

He stepped forward and his voice thundered across the valley.

”So you are finally willing to show your face, you coward.”

Haster quietly looked at the four Emperors standing before him.

Instead of showing fear, a deep smile slowly spread across his face.

He slowly opened his arms as though welcoming honored guests.

”Welcome, gentlemen!”

”I hope you have a pleasant journey!”

The smile on Emperor Ezekiel’s face instantly disappeared.

”Shut up!”

He roared in fury as he swung his sword.

A terrifying blood-red sword slash tore through the air and raced straight toward Haster with frightening speed.

Haster’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Without the slightest hesitation, he reached to his side, grabbed one of the cloaked figures standing nearby, and threw the person directly into the path of the incoming attack.

Boom!

The sword slash struck the cloaked figure head-on.

The body was instantly torn apart by the overwhelming force before crashing heavily onto the ground.

The sudden scene left many people frozen.

Even several Allied commanders widened their eyes in disbelief.

Haster did not even glance at the person he had sacrificed.

Instead, he looked at Emperor Ezekiel and began laughing loudly.

”Quite fierce, isn’t it?”

His laughter echoed across the valley.

It sent a chill through everyone standing there.

The Arcadia soldiers lowered their heads.

Even the cloaked figures beside Haster remained completely silent.

No one knew whether they were afraid or simply no longer cared.

Then...

Something changed.

The laughter suddenly stopped.

A strange darkness slowly spread from Haster’s body.

The black mist wrapped around him like living smoke and completely hid his figure from everyone’s sight.

An eerie pressure spread through the valley.

The surrounding miasma became restless and started swirling around him.

The darkness continued growing thicker.

Then several long, black tentacles slowly pushed out from within the black mist.

They twisted through the air like living creatures while constantly writhing around his body.

One became several.

Several became dozens.

The tentacles stretched in every direction while the surrounding darkness continued expanding.

Everyone watching felt a cold chill run down their backs.

The scene before them was simply too unnatural.

”What the hell is that...”

One commander muttered under his breath.

Emperor Caelus’ expression immediately changed.

”Stop him!”

He raised his hand without hesitation.

”Move!”

The Transcendent Realm guards behind him immediately exploded forward.

Before they could even reach Haster...

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Several powerful auras suddenly erupted throughout the battlefield.

One after another, the cloaked figures standing around Haster lifted their heads.

Their robes burst apart.

The horrifying figures hidden beneath were finally revealed.

Their bodies had become twisted and unnatural while dark flesh covered large portions of their skin. Some possessed extra limbs while others had long black tendrils growing from their backs. Their faces looked partly human, yet horribly distorted, and every one of them radiated the aura of a Transcendent Realm expert.

Without saying a single word, they rushed toward the Allied Army.

Their speed was astonishing.

They directly intercepted the charging guards, and violent clashes erupted across the battlefield.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Explosions echoed one after another as powerful attacks collided in every direction.

Meanwhile...

The darkness surrounding Haster slowly began fading.

Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on him.

The moment they clearly saw his appearance...

Many people instinctively held their breath.

Haster no longer looked completely human.

His body had transformed into a horrifying fusion of man and octopus.

Thick black flesh covered his body while numerous massive tentacles continuously writhed behind him. Several smaller tentacles slowly moved across his shoulders and arms as though they possessed minds of their own.

His face still vaguely resembled a human’s.

Yet it was now surrounded by countless extra eyes.

Those eyes were scattered across his forehead, cheeks, neck, and even between the moving tentacles.

Each one slowly opened at the same time.

Dozens of emotionless eyes silently stared at the Allied Army.

The entire valley fell into a heavy silence.

Even the four Emperors’ expressions became extremely grim as they looked at the horrifying creature standing before them.
