Previously on Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill...
Alaster tumbled across the ruined ground and smashed through several broken rocks before finally stopping himself. His feet dug into the earth as he slowly straightened his body, but before he could make another move, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended from above.
The air around the battlefield became heavy, and the broken stones scattered across the ground began trembling.
Alaster's expression changed slightly as he raised his head.
High above him, an enormous sword of light was descending from the sky.
The gigantic sword shone with dazzling light while carrying a terrifying momentum that shook the entire place. Waves of light rolled around its massive blade as it fell faster and faster. The pressure released by the sword pushed against the ground even before it reached Alaster, causing cracks to spread beneath his feet.
Everyone who saw the attack was horrified by the momentum carried by the sword. Even the Transcendent Knights felt their hearts tighten as the massive blade came down. However, the fear quickly turned into excitement when they saw Alaster standing directly beneath it.
"Good!"
"Hit him!"
"Don't let him escape!"
Several people cheered as the sword of light descended toward Alaster.
However, contrary to their expectations, Alaster did not move away.
He simply looked up.
As the gigantic sword reached him with terrifying momentum, Alaster suddenly extended one hand and grabbed the blade.
BANG!
A loud metallic chime resonated through the air.
A violent shockwave exploded from the point of contact and swept across the battlefield. Dust and broken stones were thrown in every direction while the ground beneath Alaster sank from the pressure.
Those who saw the scene were horrified.
The gigantic sword of light had stopped.
Alaster stood beneath it with one arm raised while his bare hand tightly gripped the blade. His body did not bend under its weight, nor did his feet move backward. He held the enormous sword as if it were just a sword made of cotton.
Alaster slowly turned his eyes toward the blade before a cold sneer appeared on his face.
"Last time... I was taken by surprise, so that doesn't mean you can take me down like that."
His fingers tightened around the sword.
CRACK!
A thin crack appeared across the glowing blade.
The crack quickly spread upward before countless smaller cracks started covering the entire sword of light.
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
BOOOOM!
The sword of light exploded.
Countless sharp shards of light flew backward and scattered across the battlefield. Several struck the ground and exploded while the remaining pieces slowly broke apart into glowing particles.
Alaster lowered his hand and turned toward the direction from which the attack had come.
His blood-red eyes immediately found Ethan.
Ethan noticed his gaze and felt his heart tighten.
"Fuck!"
Alaster bent his knees.
BOOM!
The ground beneath him exploded as he took a powerful leap and shot straight toward Ethan.
"ATTACKKKK!"
No one knew who roared, but everyone reacted at almost the same moment.
The Emperors, Transcendent Knights, and mages immediately launched their attacks. Sword arcs, flames, ice, lightning, and condensed waves of aura rushed toward Alaster from every direction.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The attacks struck Alaster one after another.
However, he did not stop.
He braced himself and charged straight through them while taking the attacks directly on his body. Flames exploded across his chest while sword aura struck his shoulders and back. Several magical attacks landed against him with enough force to shake his body, but he continued rushing toward Ethan without slowing down.
Seeing Alaster getting closer despite everyone's attacks, Ethan's expression changed.
"Damnnnnnnn!"
He immediately manipulated his mana and cast a wide-area lightning spell.
RUMBLE!
The sky above Alaster darkened.
Several huge magic circles flashed within the clouds before thick bolts of lightning came crashing down.
BOOOOM!
A massive bolt struck Alaster directly.
Another followed immediately.
BOOM!
BOOM!
More thick bolts of lightning fell from the sky and struck him one after another. Electrical energy spread across Alaster's body while the ground beneath him exploded under the repeated impacts.
Yet Alaster took them with his bare body.
His movements barely slowed.
Ethan's pupils contracted.
He immediately raised his hand and prepared to summon his sword of light.
Before the sword could fully form, something suddenly struck him.
PFFTT!
Blood splattered from Ethan's lips.
His entire body stiffened.
A sharp pain exploded through his torso.
Horrified, Ethan slowly looked down and saw a blood-covered hand penetrating his body.
Alaster was already standing directly before him.
His arm had pierced straight through Ethan's torso.
The attack had actually been aimed at his heart, but at the very last moment Ethan had sensed the danger and moved his body slightly to the side. That tiny movement saved his life, but Alaster's hand still tore through the lower left portion of his torso beneath the ribs and left a bloody hole through his body.
"Urgh!"
Ethan clenched his teeth as blood continued dripping from his lips.
Alaster pulled his hand out.
PFFT!
More blood poured from the wound.
He immediately attacked Ethan again.
This time, Ethan reacted.
He raised his arms and tried to block Alaster's incoming attack, but just as Alaster was about to strike, his entire body suddenly froze for a moment.
A cold voice echoed from the side.
"Absolute Zero."
SWISH!
The world seemed to explode with frightening coldness.
An overwhelming freezing force struck Alaster and covered the entire area around him. Frost spread across the ground in an instant while the air itself seemed to freeze. A thick layer of ice rapidly covered Alaster's body, starting from his arm before spreading across his chest, legs, and face.
Ethan's eyes narrowed as the terrifying cold also reached him.
His entire body trembled.
Even though the spell was aimed at Alaster, Ethan was standing too close and was caught within its range. The cold seeped through his flesh and bones while his blood seemed to slow inside his veins. For a moment, Ethan even felt as though his soul itself was being chilled to death.
Fortunately, the Draconic bloodline within his body reacted.
Thump!
His heart beat heavily.
A powerful heat rose from deep within his blood and spread through his body. His Draconic bloodline carried strong heat properties, and that heat kept his blood moving despite the terrifying cold surrounding him.
Ethan immediately used the opportunity.
BOOM!
Light erupted beneath his feet as he shot backward with all his strength.
His figure crossed several hundred meters within moments before crashing against the side of a mountain. Rocks shattered beneath his feet as he stumbled backward several steps. He pressed one hand against the mountain wall to steady himself while the other instinctively covered the bloody hole beneath his left ribs.
Blood flowed between his fingers.
His breathing became heavy as he lifted his head and stared toward the frozen battlefield in the distance.
