Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 785:Kill Until They Tell

The city walls of the Imperial Capital were filled with mages and soldiers. A huge number of mages were stationed along the walls, and each group was responsible for operating the magic circles that had been arranged across the defensive line. Mana continued flowing through the circles as they maintained the huge barrier covering the entire Capital.

Behind the mages stood rows of black swordsmen. They wore dark armor and held their weapons firmly while staring outside the city. A chilling aura came from their bodies, and their deadly killing intent made the atmosphere around them heavy. None of them spoke as they watched the constant bombardment coming from outside.

BOOM!

Another powerful attack struck the barrier, causing the entire wall to tremble slightly. The barrier rippled from the impact but remained intact, and the mages continued operating the magic circles without stopping.

A man standing near the center of the wall looked over the battlefield. His eyes moved across the formations outside before he raised his hand and gave an order.

"Prepare the men."

The soldiers immediately began moving.

"Get the drum group ready."

A group of men quickly brought several large drums and placed them near the mages. The mages also began moving into their positions and formed several lines along the wall. Each mage stood inside a prepared magic circle while quietly gathering mana.

The man looked at them and nodded.

"Begin."

BOOM!

The first drumbeat echoed across the city wall. The mages raised their staffs together as mana began flowing through the magic circles beneath their feet.

BOOM!

The second drumbeat sounded, and the magic circles became brighter. The mages continued gathering their power while keeping their movements synchronized with the rhythm of the drums.

BOOM!

The third beat followed, and the air around the wall started to shake from the amount of mana being gathered. The mages remained focused as they prepared their attacks.

Then came the fourth beat.

BOOM!

Then came the fourth beat.

BOOM!

A spatial tear suddenly opened in front of the wall. The mages released their prepared attacks at the same time, and a huge wave of magic shot through the tear.

The attacks appeared above the battlefield outside the Capital and slammed down toward the forces surrounding the city.

BOOM!

The ground shook as the attacks exploded among the soldiers outside. Dust and debris rose into the air while the formations below were forced to scatter.

But the mages did not stop.

The drums began again.

One beat.

Two beats.

Three beats.

Another spatial tear opened, and another wave of attacks was sent through it. The same process continued again and again, with the mages following the rhythm of the drums and sending their attacks through the spatial tears every fourth beat.

The forces outside were soon placed under heavy pressure. They had been bombarding the barrier, but now they also had to defend themselves against attacks coming from above. Their movements became more difficult as they tried to maintain their formations while avoiding the magic raining down from the city wall.

The black swordsmen continued standing behind the mages. Their cold eyes watched everything in silence, and their killing intent remained ready for anyone who tried to approach the wall.

The rhythm continued for some time.

One.

Two.

Three.

Another spatial tear opened.

But before the next attack could be released, something suddenly changed.

A wave of pure light appeared in the distance.

The light grew brighter and spread across the battlefield, illuminating the city walls and forcing several soldiers to raise their hands before their eyes.

The mages stopped.

The black swordsmen turned toward the approaching light.

Then the wave of pure light suddenly slashed across the wall.

CRACK!

The sound was like a burst of thunder erupting from black clouds.

The entire wall shook violently from the impact, and the magic circles flickered at the same time. Several mages staggered backward while the drums suddenly fell silent.

The section of the city wall was suddenly blasted apart. Stone and broken pieces of the wall flew in every direction as the force of the attack continued forward. The remaining momentum struck the barrier from the outside, causing its surface to shake violently and ripple across the entire defensive formation, but the barrier still held on.

The mages operating the magic circles staggered from the impact, and several of them looked toward the destroyed section of the wall in shock. The black swordsmen also turned around, their weapons already in their hands as they searched for the person who had launched the attack.

"Who is it?"

"Who fired the sword?"

The commanders shouted at the top of their lungs as they looked around. Their voices spread across the wall, but before anyone could answer, a bright figure appeared above the broken section. A man slowly stepped forward through the air, surrounded by a dazzling white light that made it difficult to look directly at him.

Ethan landed on the wall and looked around calmly. His white light continued to shine around his body as he glanced at the damaged area and then at the people standing before him. Before the commanders could react, something suddenly whistled past Ethan.

He turned his head slightly and heard his own voice echo across the wall.

"I will give you a chance. Tell me how to switch off the barrier."

One of the commanders gritted his teeth and stared at Ethan with anger.

"In your dreams. I will nev..."

Before he could finish, Ethan moved in front of him. His hand grabbed the man's neck, and with a swift motion, his neck was brutally snapped apart. The commander went limp instantly, and Ethan threw his body aside without even looking back.

The people around him froze.

Ethan turned toward the others, and his calm expression made the situation even more frightening. He suddenly moved again, appearing in front of another person with blazing speed.

"Tell me how to turn off the barrier."

The man trembled and clenched his teeth.

"I won't..."

Ethan's eyes became cold.

"Do you think if you all don't speak I can't pry? Fine. I am gonna fucking kill until no answer."

His figure disappeared again.

The next moment, chaos spread across the wall.

Ethan moved through the group with frightening speed, appearing beside one person and then another. Whenever someone refused to answer, he struck them down and moved to the next. The people around him tried to defend themselves, but none of them could properly follow his movements.

"Tell me how to turn off the barrier."

"I don't know!"

Another person was thrown aside.

"Tell me."

"I won't tell you!"

Ethan moved again.

The commanders watched in horror as their people were defeated one after another. The confident formation that had been standing on the wall only moments ago was now completely shaken, and nobody knew who would be targeted next.

Ethan stopped before another man and stared directly into his eyes.

"Tell me how to turn off the barrier."

The man looked at the bodies scattered around him and finally broke down. His face was pale, and his voice trembled as he raised both hands.

"I will tell... So please don't kill me... Ahahha!"
