Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 739:Hold Down

His face darkened.

Emperor Aldric tightened his grip on his weapon while sweat slowly appeared on his forehead.

"Something made specifically for bastards like you."

"Hold him!" Queen Ophelia shouted.

She had already raised her staff.

Several complicated magic circles appeared behind her. They slowly rotated in different directions while huge amounts of mana rushed toward them. The temperature across the battlefield suddenly dropped.

Alaster immediately sensed danger.

BOOM!

His bloody aura erupted.

The golden chains trembled violently as he pulled against them with brute force. One of the chains cracked and another began bending under the pressure.

"He's breaking through!" Caelus shouted through clenched teeth.

"Then make more!" Ezekiel roared.

He slammed his greatsword down again.

BOOM!

Another wave of power rushed into the cage.

Alaster's knees bent slightly as the pressure around him suddenly increased. His blood-red aura continued fighting against the formation, but the combined strength of the Emperors kept pressing him back.

Queen Ophelia finally opened her eyes.

"Move!"

Ezekiel, Aldric, and Caelus immediately jumped away.

Queen Ophelia brought her staff down.

"Frozen Heaven Prison!"

CRACK!

Ice exploded from the formation beneath Alaster.

Huge pillars of ice rose around him and joined together above his head. Another layer formed outside the first, followed by another. Within moments, Alaster was trapped inside a massive prison of crystal ice.

However, Queen Ophelia did not stop.

Countless glowing symbols spread across the frozen prison and connected with the formation created by Emperor Aldric. Caelus' golden chains wrapped around the outside while Ezekiel's sword aura pressed against it from every direction.

Four different powers came together and formed a single prison.

BOOOOM!

A violent explosion came from inside.The entire structure shook.

Alaster's fist struck the frozen wall from within and created a huge crack across its surface.

BOOM!

Another punch landed and more cracks appeared.

Everyone's expressions hardened.

"That monster..." Caelus muttered while pouring more power into the chains. "He's still able to move."

"Don't get distracted!" Ophelia shouted. "This won't hold him for long!"

BOOOOM!

Alaster struck the prison again.

One layer of ice exploded outward.

His bloody aura leaked through the cracks and immediately began eating away at the surrounding magic. The golden chains trembled while several symbols across the formation started flickering.

Ezekiel gritted his teeth.

"How much fucking strength does this bastard have?"

"Enough to break out if we stand here watching!" Aldric shouted.

"Annoying bastards!"

Alaster roared.

BOOM!

His bloody aura exploded outward and shattered the ice around him.

The four Emperors immediately attacked again.

None of them had the time to look anywhere else.

At the same time, the remaining Transcendent Knights were locked in their own fierce battle against the black-cloaked figures.

CLANG!

A Transcendent Knight blocked a black spear aimed at his throat and immediately kicked the cloaked figure in the chest. Another black-robed enemy rushed toward him from the side, but a second knight intercepted the attack with his shield.

"Don't let them interfere with Their Majesties!"

"Keep them here!"

The Transcendent Knights spread out and blocked every path toward the four Emperors. Sword aura and dark energy repeatedly collided while magic attacks exploded across the ruined battlefield. Several demonic spawns also rushed between the two groups, making the situation even more chaotic.

Heliana stood among the Transcendent Knights and waved to her staff.

SWISH!

Dozens of sharp icicles shot forward and forced two cloaked figures backward. One tried to escape toward Alaster, but a thick wall of ice suddenly rose before him and blocked his path.

Everyone was occupied.

The four Emperors were fighting Alaster.

The Transcendent Knights were holding back the cloaked figures.

Heliana was dealing with the enemies trying to break through their line.

Amidst all this chaos, no one noticed the faint shadow moving through the broken battlefield.

Ethan had already activated Shadow Guise.

His figure blended into the darkness cast by the broken rocks and deep craters. His aura disappeared completely while even the violent power of Berserk raging inside his body was suppressed beneath the effect of Shadow Guise.

He did not release a single trace of killing intent.

He did not rush.

He simply moved.

One shadow to another.

One broken rock to the next.

Whenever an explosion lit up the battlefield, Ethan stopped completely. When the light faded and darkness returned, he moved again.

No one looked toward him.In fact, no one even knew where he was.

Alaster was far too occupied with the four Emperors to search for Ethan.

BANG!

Emperor Ezekiel's greatsword struck Alaster's arm and forced it aside.

Emperor Caelus immediately attacked from the opposite direction.

Alaster twisted his body and avoided the strike before punching Caelus away.

BOOM!

Caelus shot backward and crashed into the ground.

"One down!"Alaster sneered and moved toward him.

However, Emperor Aldric immediately appeared before him.

"Your opponent is here!"

His weapon flashed.

Alaster blocked it and immediately counterattacked.

Queen Ophelia released another spell from behind.

Several magic circles appeared around Alaster's feet and bound his movements for a moment.

"Damn woman!"

Alaster roared and smashed the formation apart.

His entire attention remained on the enemies surrounding him.

He never noticed the shadow slowly moving closer behind him.

Ethan's eyes remained fixed on Alaster while he silently observed every movement.

He did not intend to attack simply because he had reached him.

That would be stupid.

Alaster was a Half-Step Ascension Realm expert.

One mistake and Ethan might never receive another opportunity.

'Not yet.'

Ethan silently moved around a broken boulder.

Another violent explosion erupted ahead.

BOOOOM!

The light from the explosion briefly illuminated his position, but Ethan had already stopped moving. Shadow Guise covered his body perfectly and made him look like nothing more than part of the darkness beneath the shattered rocks.

The light disappeared.

Ethan moved again.

His breathing became slower.

His heartbeat remained steady despite the violent strength churning through his body from Berserk.

He carefully watched Alaster fight.

Block.

Counterattack.

Retreat.

Attack.

Every movement was recorded in Ethan's mind.

He studied how Alaster shifted his weight when blocking Ezekiel's heavy strikes and how he turned whenever Queen Ophelia cast her magic. He also noticed the brief opening that appeared whenever Alaster used too much strength to break through the combined attacks.

That was what Ethan wanted.

Not simply an opening.

He needed the perfect opening.

His fingers slowly tightened around his weapon while he continued moving through the shadows.

"Sneak attack..."

Ethan whispered so quietly that even the closest person could not hear him.

His eyes glowed dangerously beneath Shadow Guise.

"I need to cast a perfect sneak attack."

Another explosion shook the battlefield.

Ethan disappeared into the darkness once again.
