The combined assaults from the three enemies descended like a tempest, their clear intention to shatter Ethan's impending spell before its completion. Yet, Ethan remained unflinching.
With a sharp twist of his wrist, numerous magic circles above and around him began to rotate with increased velocity. More formations materialized across the sky, layering upon each other as raw energy surged with violent intensity.
"Too late," he whispered.
In the subsequent moment…
BOOOOM!
BANNNG!
The magic formations detonated sequentially, their explosions propagating across the battlefield in a devastating chain reaction. Each circle unleashed immense power, and their collective blasts forged a cataclysmic wave that reverberated throughout the entire region.
Fiery torrents erupted in blazing waves, while lightning bolts fractured the sky, plummeting like instruments of annihilation. Winds howled with ferocious abandon, cleaving through all obstacles in their path, and luminous energy surged outwards, bisecting the battlefield like sharpened blades.
The entirety of the area dissolved into utter chaos.
Pillars of lightning relentlessly hammered down, impaling the Orc army and pinning them to the earth, as explosions erupted around them incessantly.
"AAAAHHHH!"
"Fall back!"
"Move—!"
Shrieks pierced the air as Orc soldiers were ensnared by the tempest, many being violently hurled into the sky or crushed beneath the onslaught. Some were consumed by flames, while others succumbed to the lightning's fury or were eviscerated by the savage winds.
The battlefield had transformed into a maelstrom of devastation.
Dust, fire, and arcane energy saturated every inch of existence, and visibility plummeted as the concussions continued to convulse the land.
It was only then that the Orc Divine Knight grasped the full extent of the situation.
His eyes flared crimson with incandescent rage.
"You bastard…"
He finally understood. Ethan wasn't merely defending. He was systematically targeting everything.
The army.
Their formation.
Their morale.
He was systematically dismantling their capacity to wage war.
The thunderous storm persisted, the ground fractured under the immense pressure, and the Orc forces descended into sheer panic and disarray.
Amidst this pandemonium, Ethan initiated his movement.
Utilizing the cover provided by the obscuring smoke, dust, and debris, he propelled himself away from the battlefield at breakneck speed, his form vanishing into the maelstrom.
For a fleeting instant, it appeared as though he had achieved his escape.
However, a furious roar echoed in his wake.
"COME BACK, YOU BASTARD!"
The Orc Divine Knight breached the storm's fury and locked onto Ethan's retreating silhouette. Without a moment's hesitation, he gave chase.
"I am going to fucking kill you!"
"Bastard, die!"
The two figures traversed the terrain with terrifying velocity, their pursuit spanning immense distances as they tore through the very air.
Ethan did not cease his flight.
Yet, after a period, he abruptly halted his progress.
The Orc Divine Knight rapidly closed the gap, but just as he prepared to unleash his strike.
Ethan pivoted with sudden abruptness.
"Divine Soul Flame."
CRUNG!
An oppressive, invisible force impacted the Orc Divine Knight's very being, striking his head. The ethereal flame ignited directly within his soul, inflicting a sharp, searing agony that contorted his features.
Nevertheless, he had anticipated such a possibility.
"I am not an idiot," the Orc Divine Knight growled.
A subtle luminescence enveloped his form as an artifact was activated, manifesting an instantaneous defensive barrier that significantly mitigated the attack's impact.
Observing this, Ethan did not press the assault further.
Instead, he promptly dispersed the flames.
The Orc Divine Knight regained his equilibrium, but before he could fully react, spectral chains materialized.
Emerging from the void itself, heavy chains shot forth and ensnared his body, binding him immovably in place.
"What—!"
He found himself caught completely off guard.
A barrage of subsequent assaults followed instantaneously, originating from distorted spatial anomalies and striking him from multiple vectors. These culminated in a series of explosions that forcefully propelled him back a short distance.
"Yo…" a disembodied voice faintly resonated.
For a transient moment, the Orc Divine Knight was rendered immobile.
The chains contracted around him, their palpable weight suggesting an immense, crushing force that severely restricted his movements.
However, he did not succumb to panic. Instead, he centered his focus.
A surge of crimson energy emanated from his core as he channeled his formidable power, his muscles tensing against the binding pressure.
"Break!"
He violently swept his arm outward.
BOOOOM!
A potent shockwave erupted from him, and the chains disintegrated under the sheer force, shattering into countless fragments as the surrounding reality shuddered.
The period of restraint was but a fleeting instant, yet that brief window was sufficient for Ethan to act. He did not hesitate, raising his hand and beginning to weave another spell, his gaze locked intently upon the Orc Divine Knight.
"Holy Sword Judgement Array."
SWOOOSHH!
Six resplendent swords wrought from pure light materialized high above, hovering around the Orc Divine Knight as they cycled slowly. Each blade radiated an intense, unblemished luminescence, and ethereal runic patterns traversed their surfaces as they amassed formidable power.
Abruptly, all six of the swords launched forward simultaneously. They sliced through the atmosphere with a profound, resonating roar before plunging down around the Orc Divine Knight. BOOOOM! Upon impact, torrents of light erupted, ascending skyward and instantaneously coalescing into a celestial confinement that encircled the Orc Divine Knight entirely. The luminescence intensified progressively, bathing the entire vicinity in a radiance akin to a newly risen sun. An immense pressure descended, rendering even the very air seemingly frozen beneath its dominion. The Orc Divine Knight squeezed his eyes shut momentarily, overwhelmed by the sheer brilliance. He attempted to stir, but his body felt rigidly immobilized. "What is this—" Clenching his jaw, he willed his innate power to surge. Then, hoisting his greatsword aloft, he unleashed a strike with every ounce of his might. CLANG! A piercing and weighty clang resounded, its shockwaves rippling outward. However, the pillars of light remained unbroken; instead, they held fast, repelling him with their unwavering strength. "My strength…" His eyes widened in absolute terror as an unsettling realization dawned upon him. "The fuck is going on?" "ARGHHHHHH!" He bellowed in anguish, seizing one of the luminous pillars with both hands, attempting to rip it asunder. The instant his flesh made contact, an agonizing, burning sensation coursed through his arms. "AAAHHH!"
