Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 527:That Was My Clone

For a brief moment, Han and Hale were rendered motionless, their minds struggling to comprehend the unfolding events, their gazes locked onto Ethan's form.

Han swallowed with difficulty, his voice emerging hoarse. "…A clone… you possess a clone?"

Hale blinked several times, as if questioning his own vision, before directing another look of sheer disbelief at Ethan. "Weren't you a swordsman…"

It was evident that both were deeply shaken. Despite witnessing numerous horrors on the battlefield, this revelation surpassed all their prior expectations.

However, while they were astonished, another individual was far more profoundly affected.

"HOWWWWWW!"

"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!"

The cloaked man's voice erupted, devoid of its previous calm and composure, now laced with disbelief and pure rage. His body quivered slightly as he stared at Ethan, as if witnessing an impossibility.

"That spear is the supreme treasure of our Abyss Sect… It was a guaranteed one-hit kill, so how did you survive…" he bellowed, perilously close to losing all control.

Ethan's expression tightened subtly upon hearing these words, a flicker of memory crossing his mind.

Abyss Sect.

His eyes slowly narrowed.

"Abyss Sect…"

A chilling realization began to dawn, and past events rapidly coalesced into a coherent picture.

Wasn't this the same sect that transformed people into undead zombies and assaulted the Duchy when he was merely a Baron?

Silence descended upon his thoughts for a moment.

Then…

"FUCKKK!"

His voice exploded forth, his eyes burning with incandescent anger.

"So it was you all along…"

Without a second wasted, Ethan moved.

His hand shot out, and the Solaris Tyrant materialized instantly within his grasp. The moment he seized it, his aura surged with violent intensity.

"Battle Frenzy."

BOOOOOOM!

His blood began to boil, and an immense torrent of mana was drawn into his being like a relentless vortex. The ground beneath him fractured, and the very air around him warped as a terrifying power erupted outwards.

The sheer pressure emanating from him compelled the surrounding soldiers to instinctively retreat.

Even the demons felt its impact.

A peculiar sense of déjà vu washed over them.

"What is happening?" one of the demons inquired, his voice tinged with unease as he turned toward the member of the Abyss Sect.

"What is this nonsense? You claimed you could kill him, but— DODGE!"

Before he could even complete his sentence—

Something cleaved through the world.

A slender line of light streaked across the battlefield, moving with such incredible speed that most could not even register its passage.

BOOOOOOM!

A colossal sword arc descended, obliterating everything in its wake. The air itself seemed to split, the ground was goumented, and the sheer force of the impact sent tremors through the entire battlefield.

The Mythic rank enemies narrowly evaded the onslaught, their forms moving in a desperate scramble to escape the periphery of the attack.

However, those less fortunate were caught in its path.

The demons directly in the line of fire were instantly struck, their bodies rent asunder with utter ease. Blood and gore sprayed outwards as the devastating attack tore through them completely.

The battlefield dissolved back into utter chaos.

Han and Hale stared at the destruction, their eyes widening as they observed Ethan standing resolute, his sword still emitting a faint hum.

"This…"

Hale exhaled slowly.

"This person…"

Han remained silent, but his grip tightened perceptibly as he fixed his gaze forward.

Ethan stood in stoic silence, his eyes fixed unerringly on the cloaked figure. The anger within them had not abated in the slightest.

If anything, it had intensified, burning brighter than ever.

The battlefield did not remain quiescent for long. The instant Ethan unleashed that devastating slash, the five adversaries reacted in unison, their killing intent surging sharply.

Two demons moved with predatory speed, their bodies contorting as dark energy enveloped them, their forms swelling slightly as their bloodlines were unleashed. Their muscles bulged, their auras spiked violently, and the ground beneath them cracked as they charged forward.

Simultaneously, the two members of the Church of Darkness raised their hands, and intricate black divine patterns unfurled across the sky, as if some ancient entity was being invoked. A heavy pressure descended, and a faint phantom of a dark deity materialized behind them, radiating a suffocating aura.

The member of the Abyss Sect did not remain inactive either; his hands formed arcane seals as dark purple energy coalesced around him. The ground beneath him began to decay and distort, while several shadowy tendrils writhed upwards like sentient beings.

All five launched their attacks concurrently.

The demons assailed from the front with overwhelming might, while the Church of Darkness unleashed beams of dark divine light that rent the air, and the Abyss Sect member projected a wave of corrosive energy from below.

The assaults converged.

Space itself appeared to buckle under the strain.

BOOOOOOM!

A cataclysmic explosion erupted at Ethan's position, and the ensuing shockwave radiated outwards, tearing through the battlefield and forcing both soldiers and demons alike to retreat even further.

Han's expression shifted slightly.

"He's completely surrounded..."

Hale clenched his fists tightly.

"This is not good..."

However, the situation took a dramatic turn in the next instant.

An overwhelming aura erupted from within the explosion, and a piercing beam of golden-red light sliced through the lingering smoke.

Swoosh!

Ethan emerged, his form unharmed. Yet, his eyes were no longer serene; a blazing fury flickered within them as he tightened his grip on the Solaris Tyrant.

"...All of you..."

His voice dropped to a low growl.

"will perish."

In that moment, he moved.

Swoosh!

His silhouette vanished, reappearing instantly before one of the demons. Without a pause, he brought his sword down.

CLANG!

The demon attempted to block with its arm, but the impact shattered its defense. The blade ripped through its flesh, sending blood spraying across the air.

"RAAAARGH!"

The demon bellowed in pain, but Ethan's assault didn't cease. He spun and delivered another strike.

BOOM!

A surge of Holy Light burst forth from his weapon, incinerating the demon's body and tearing it apart from within.

Simultaneously, a second demon attacked from behind. Ethan twisted his body with incredible agility and struck backward.

CLANG!

The collision sent shockwaves through the air, and a blast of Chaos energy erupted from his sword, warping space and violently repelling the demon.

The two Church members reacted swiftly, unleashing their divine attacks once more. Black spears of energy descended upon Ethan from above.

Ethan raised his sword high.

"Bring it on."

BOOOOM!
