Chapter 564:Done And Dusted
Chapter 564:Done And Dusted
Ethan stood calmly at the center, and his expression did not change while he watched them struggle, and his breathing remained steady as if this entire situation was already under his control.
Then he raised his hand slowly.
The air around him shifted again, and multiple glowing magic circles appeared instantly, and they formed around him in layers while shining with bright holy light.
"Holy Judgment," he said quietly, and his tone was calm but carried weight.
The next moment, six light swords appeared in the air, and they hovered around him while shining with a pure and intense glow, and each one rotated slowly as a faint humming sound spread across the battlefield.
The Orcs felt it immediately, and fear crept into their expressions while their eyes locked onto the swords.
"Stop him!" one of them shouted, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Break this thing!" another roared as he tried to force his body to move.
But they could not.
The Void Prison held them firmly, and their movements were too slow to react in time.
The swords stopped rotating, and for a brief second, everything felt still while the heavy silence pressed down on the battlefield and even the air seemed to pause.
Then—
SWISH!
The light swords shot forward at incredible speed, and they cut through the air while leaving bright trails behind them, and each one moved with sharp precision as they locked onto their targets without hesitation.
"NO—!" one of the Orc Divine Knights shouted as he tried to block, and he forced his weapon upward with all his strength while his muscles tensed.
But his movement was delayed, and his body did not respond fast enough.
SWISHHH!
The sword passed through him cleanly, and a sharp line of light flashed across his body before blood burst out violently, and his expression twisted in pain.
"ARGHHH!" he screamed as his body split under the force, and his knees buckled as he began to fall.
BANGGGGG!
The next moment, the remaining swords struck him together, and his body exploded into a mist of blood that scattered across the air and stained the ground below.
Another sword followed immediately, and it struck a second Divine Knight while cutting through his defense as if it was nothing, and his weapon shattered under the impact.
BOOM!
The force sent him crashing down, and his body was torn apart as he hit the ground heavily while the earth beneath him cracked.
The remaining Orcs roared in anger and panic, and they tried to resist while forcing their power outward, but the prison continued to suppress them, and their movements remained too slow to react properly.
The swords did not stop, and instead they struck again with even more terrifying force while cutting through everything in their path without mercy.
They tore through bodies.
They shattered thier defenses.
They left nothing intact.
The battlefield filled with screams and chaos while blood sprayed across the broken land and dust rose into the air.
"Damn it!"
"What is this power?!"
"We are getting cut down!"
One after another, the Orc Divine Knights were hit, and their bodies were ripped apart under the relentless attacks while the light swords moved without pause and without error.
Within moments, their formation broke apart completely, and the array that once trapped Ethan collapsed as the energy scattered and faded away.
The battlefield fell into chaos again, and the remaining forces stepped back in shock while staring at the destruction in disbelief as dust and blood filled the air.
Just as Ethan was about to make another move and press forward a cold and angry shout echoed across the battlefield.
"Enoughhh!"
A heavy force descended upon them instantly, and the pressure crushed down from above while the air trembled under its weight.
Ethan turned around, and his eyes locked onto Barbatos who was staring at him coldly while releasing his aura and pressing down heavily.
The pressure was terrifying, and it felt like a mountain had been dropped onto his shoulders, and his body tensed under the weight.
But Ethan gritted his teeth, and with all his power combined, he managed to hold his ground while refusing to bend.
At that moment Micheal moved.
A faint wave spread from him, and his aura rose to counter the pressure, and the heavy force dispersed gradually as the air calmed.
Ethan let out a slow breath, and his shoulders eased slightly as the weight lifted.
He glanced toward Micheal, and his eyes carried a silent question.
Micheal looked ahead calmly and spoke.
"It's over," he said, and his tone was firm.
He then shifted his gaze toward Barbatos.
"Your people have already lost," he continued. "They have got beaten."
He paused for a moment, and his eyes turned slightly colder.
"Now take them and leave as quickly as possible or else…"
A strange glint flashed in his eyes, and the meaning behind his words was clear.
Barbatos looked at Micheal, and then his gaze shifted toward Ethan, and he observed him quietly for a few seconds as if memorizing him.
Then he spoke.
"What's your name, kid?" he asked.
Ethan did not hesitate.
"Ethan… Ethan Blanks," he replied.
Barbatos gave a slight nod.
"Good," he said. "I will remember that."
He turned his head slightly and spoke again.
"Now retreat."
"But Saint—" one of the Orcs tried to speak.
Barbatos's eyes turned cold instantly, and he looked at them sharply.
"Didn't you hear me?" he said.
His voice dropped, but it carried a heavy threat.
"After losing to a human even after outnumbering him, aren't you all ashamed enough?"
His expression darkened further.
"Stupid idiots!"
"Get away from my eyes or I will trample you myself," he added, and his tone carried clear anger.
With that, he flicked his finger lightly, and a force pushed the remaining Orcs back as they quickly began to retreat without daring to argue further.
Only after they left and the pressure completely disappeared did the battlefield calm down.
Ethan's body finally relaxed, and he slumped slightly while wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.
"Fuckkk…" he muttered under his breath.
"That was intense…" he added, and he took a deep, heavy breath while trying to steady himself.
