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

Chapter 722: 722:Time For Pay Back

The moment those words were spoken, the entire Allied Army fell silent. Many commanders instinctively turned toward Ethan while several Transcendent experts frowned deeply. Others hesitated as they looked between Ethan and the countless monstrous enemies surrounding him.

Holding back Haster along with so many Transcendent monsters alone was almost no different from seeking death. Even the veteran knights who had experienced countless wars could not help but tighten their grips on their weapons. For a brief moment, nobody spoke. The only sounds that remained were the distant clashes echoing across the battlefield and the restless movement of the black miasma surrounding them.

The four Emperors quietly exchanged glances. None of them questioned Ethan’s determination because they all understood the situation. Every second they remained here gave Haster more time to prepare whatever awaited them deeper inside the cursed land. Emperor Aldric was the first to nod. His expression remained firm as he looked toward the distant mountains.

”We can’t waste our time here.”

”We should finish things swiftly.”

”The longer we drag this on, the more problematic it will become.”

Emperor Caelus also gave a slight nod. His eyes remained fixed on the path ahead as he spoke in a calm but serious voice.

”Our objective has never changed.”

”We must reach the heart of this place.”

However, Emperor Aldric soon frowned again as his gaze swept across the endless sea of black miasma covering the mountains.

”But how will we traverse through this miasma?”

Queen Ophelia calmly stepped forward.

”I have a solution.”

She slowly extended one hand. A gentle white light gathered above her palm before rapidly becoming brighter. Within moments, the surrounding light element responded to her call and burst outward with overwhelming purity.

Boom!

The holy light spread across the battlefield like the rising sun. Wherever the light reached, the thick black miasma immediately shrank back as though it had encountered its greatest enemy. The poisonous darkness rapidly retreated in every direction, revealing the hidden mountain path beneath it.

The other Emperors looked at Queen Ophelia with visible surprise.

”You...”

Even they had not expected her mastery over light magic to suppress the cursed miasma so completely.

Queen Ophelia remained calm. Without saying another word, she slowly lifted her crystal staff while extending her free hand toward the sky. One glowing magic circle appeared above her, then another, and another. Within only a few breaths, hundreds of brilliant magic circles covered the heavens. Their holy light illuminated the entire valley and pushed back the surrounding darkness.

The next moment...

Countless beams of radiant light shot down from the sky.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Each beam struck the sea of miasma with overwhelming force. The poisonous darkness rapidly dispersed while a long passage was carved straight through the mountains. The newly opened path stretched far into the distance, allowing everyone to clearly see the direction they needed to travel. The surrounding soldiers could only stare in amazement as the impossible scene unfolded before their eyes.

Seeing the opportunity, Emperor Ezekiel immediately turned toward several of his strongest Transcendent Knights.

”You.”

”A few of you stay.”

”Help Marquise Ethan.”

The selected knights immediately stepped forward before saluting with absolute respect.

”Yes, Your Majesty!”

Emperor Ezekiel gave a brief nod before turning back toward the cleared mountain path.

”Let’s go!”

The moment his command was given, the Allied Army surged forward once again. The four Emperors personally led the advance while countless Transcendent experts, Divine Knights, and elite soldiers followed closely behind them without hesitation. Their figures quickly disappeared into the corridor of light that Queen Ophelia had created through the endless darkness.

Queen Ophelia was the last to leave.

Before stepping forward, she quietly turned toward Heliana.

”Take care.”

Heliana gently nodded without saying a word.

Standing nearby, Ethan also looked toward Queen Ophelia.

For just a brief moment, he noticed that her eyes seemed to pass beyond Heliana before meeting his direction. He could not tell whether those words had been meant only for Heliana... or whether they had also been meant for him. Before he could think about it any longer, the four Emperors and the Allied Army had already disappeared into the distance, leaving behind only fading streaks of holy light within the dark valley.

Soon, the battlefield became strangely quiet.

Only Ethan, Heliana, several Transcendent Knights, Haster, and the remaining monstrous enemies were left behind. The thick miasma slowly rolled across the broken ground while countless corpses and shattered rocks lay scattered around them. The silence carried a heavy pressure, making everyone feel as though an even greater battle was about to begin.

Ethan slowly turned around.

His calm eyes met Haster’s countless cold eyes.

For several long moments, neither of them spoke. They simply stared at one another across the ruined battlefield while light and darkness quietly clashed around them.

Finally, Ethan slowly raised his sword.

”I hope you remember the words I spoke last time.”

Haster looked back at him before a cold sneer slowly spread across his twisted face.

”In your dreams.”

The instant those words left his mouth, Haster exploded forward with monstrous speed.

Boom!

The rocky ground beneath him shattered into countless fragments as his enormous body shot across the battlefield like a black comet. The surrounding miasma twisted violently behind him while his countless tentacles surged forward with terrifying force.

At almost the same moment, Ethan stepped forward.

Brilliant holy light erupted beneath his feet as he charged directly toward Haster without the slightest hesitation. His radiant armor shone even brighter while his sword released a dazzling glow that cut through the surrounding darkness.

The distance between them vanished in the blink of an eye.

Then...

Boom!

Ethan’s sword collided head-on with Haster’s monstrous claws.

A violent shockwave exploded across the battlefield, throwing dust, shattered rocks, and waves of light and darkness in every direction. The earth trembled beneath their feet while the nearby Transcendent experts were forced to shield themselves from the overwhelming impact.
