Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 647: Ethan Vs Saints
Previously on Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill...
While the Saints fought high above the battlefield and their clashes shook the heavens, the battle below had already descended into complete chaos as the forces led by the various nobles of Arcadia crashed against the enemy's defensive barrier with overwhelming force.
BOOOOOOM!
A deafening explosion erupted as countless attacks slammed into the magical barrier protecting the front of the Xylos camp.
Sword energy.
Magic.
Arrows.
Countless attacks struck one after another and filled the night with flashes of light.The barrier trembled violently.Cracks slowly began spreading across its surface.
The defenders immediately panicked.
"Protect the barrier!"
"Reinforce the formation!"
"Shield yourselves!"
One commander desperately raised his weapon and shouted toward the rear.
"Pour more mana into it!"
Another officer glared toward the charging Arcadian troops and cursed loudly.
"Bastards!"
"Attacking weaker ones!"
"You shameless wolves!"
His roar was quickly followed by countless curses from the Xylos side.
"You bloodthirsty animals!"
"You have no honor!"
"You call yourselves knights?!"
However, the Arcadian forces paid no attention to the insults.
They had committed all of their strength to this offensive.
Unlike Xylos, which still held some of its forces in reserve, Arcadia had deployed almost everything.
More importantly...
The Xylos commanders had never expected the higher-ranked experts of Arcadia to fight this ruthlessly.
The bombardment never stopped.
Wave after wave continued crashing against the defenses.
Soon the first sections of the barrier shattered.
CRAAASH!
Fragments of magical light scattered through the air like broken glass.
The Arcadian troops immediately surged forward.The battlefield erupted into another level of violence.
Divine Knights charged directly toward Divine Knights.
Mythic Knights collided with Mythic Knights.
The sky and the ground became separate battlefields filled with endless destruction.
CLANG!
A Divine Knight swung his massive axe and forced his opponent backward.
"You damn Arcadian wolf!"
The Arcadian knight snorted and swung his sword in return.
"If we're wolves..."
"Then you are nothing but frightened sheep."
His words made the other side choke up.
BOOOOM!
The collision sent both of them sliding backward.
Nearby, another Mythic Knight roared while exchanging dozens of strikes with his opponent.
"You filthy invaders!"
"You people should have stayed inside your borders!"
The Arcadian warrior laughed coldly.
"Stop barking and fight."
"You talk too much."
Their weapons collided again and sent sparks flying everywhere.All around them similar battles unfolded.
Everywhere there was blood.Everywhere there were explosions.Everywhere soldiers shouted while desperately trying to survive.
One commander from Xylos raised his weapon high.
"Soldiers!"
"No matter what..."
"Don't let them break through!"
"Hit them hard!"
His words immediately reignited the fighting spirit of the defenders.
The soldiers roared together and rushed forward once more.
Meanwhile...
Far above them.
The Saints who were still locked in battle noticed the situation unfolding below.
The expressions on the Xylos Saints instantly darkened.
Rage filled their faces."You pieces of shit!"
One of them cursed furiously while glaring toward the Arcadian experts.
At that moment...
The Saints on both sides quietly looked at one another.Something strange passed through their eyes.
Almost as if they had reached the same conclusion.
Ethan was still exchanging fierce blows with the Saint before him.
His greatsword cut through the air with tremendous force while the enemy answered every strike without hesitation.
Then a strange feeling suddenly rose inside Ethan's chest.
An ominous sensation.
Without understanding why, he instinctively raised his greatsword and prepared to attack again.
However...The Saint in front of him suddenly jumped backward instead of continuing the exchange.
"Huh?"
Question marks practically appeared over Ethan's face.For a brief second, he genuinely failed to understand what was happening.
Then...
SWISH!
The Saint from Xylos abruptly turned around and retreated at full speed.
"What?!"
Ethan stared blankly.
Not far away, Duke Osantra also froze in disbelief.
"WHATTTTT!"His shout echoed across the battlefield.
For only a single moment.Then realization struck him.His face instantly lost all color.
"Protect our forces!"
"They plan to avoid us and strike the army!"
His warning spread across the sky while every Arcadian Saint immediately understood the enemy's true intention, and the expressions on each of their faces changed drastically as the situation before them suddenly became far more dangerous than a simple duel between higher-ranked experts.
Without wasting another second, every Arcadian Saint abandoned the ongoing clashes and rushed after the retreating enemies with all the speed they could muster.
Powerful auras erupted one after another while sword lights and magical attacks chased through the heavens in an attempt to stop the Xylos Saints before they reached the battlefield below.
However, the enemy had already committed to the plan.
Instead of continuing their duels, the Saints from Xylos skillfully dodged every incoming attack while weaving through the sky with unbelievable agility and charged directly toward the Arcadian troops gathered beneath them.
One of the Saints even looked back over his shoulder and shouted coldly while wearing a mocking smile.
"Since you don't hold any sense of propriety..."
"Then why should we?"
The words had barely finished echoing when all six Saints accelerated together. Their bodies turned into streaks of light that tore through the night sky while countless attacks chased after them from behind.
Sword energy slashed across the heavens. Powerful spells exploded continuously. Bright flashes illuminated the battlefield over and over again. Yet none of it slowed the charging Saints. Some twisted their bodies just enough to narrowly avoid the attacks while others forcefully broke through weaker strikes, and a few simply endured glancing blows without changing direction as they continued diving toward the army below.
Everything descended into complete chaos within the next instant.
The orderly battlefield instantly fell into disarray.
Commanders shouted desperately while officers waved flags and soldiers hurriedly changed formations. Countless warriors instinctively raised their weapons and looked toward the sky with pale faces because many could not even understand what was happening anymore.
All they could see were terrifying figures descending from above with enough power to flatten entire armies.
At the same time, Ethan's mind began racing wildly.
His thoughts became a complete mess.
'What the hell is going on?'
'What should I do?'
His eyes rapidly swept across the battlefield while searching for the greatest threat.
Then...
His expression suddenly froze.
Far below directly in the path of one of the charging Saints...
He saw his own troops.
The Order of Eternal Blade.
Randall.
Noel.
Marverick.
Every familiar face stood there while preparing for battle, completely unaware that a Saint was about to descend upon their position.
The realization struck Ethan like lightning.
A curse immediately escaped from between his clenched teeth.
"Fuck you, bitches..."
His killing intent surged without restraint.
"Fight however you want."
"But don't fucking drag my people into it."
BOOOOOOM!
The instant those words left his mouth, Ethan exploded forward like a cannonball fired from the heavens.
The air behind him shattered violently while a tremendous ripple spread through the sky, and the terrifying acceleration startled every nearby expert enough to make several Saints instinctively turn toward him.
One of the Xylos Saints who had been rushing toward the Arcadian barracks suddenly felt a chilling sensation crawl across his back. Every instinct inside his body screamed at him. A massive shadow rapidly expanded within his vision, forcing him to abruptly turn around.
"What..."
Before the word could even leave his mouth...
A figure flashed directly in front of him.
It was Ethan.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ethan threw a punch straight toward the Saint's chest. The opponent reacted almost instantly and crossed both arms before his body to block the incoming strike.
However just before the impact...
Ethan's fist twisted.
His entire body rotated with the movement.
The force behind the attack changed direction in a split second and slipped past the guard before crashing heavily into the Saint's torso with brutal precision.
BOOOOOOOM!
