My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 480 A Single Attack

“It’s like the power of a god… this is beyond what we can comprehend,” Sylvia also mumbled, looking just as disbelieving as the others.

“Search around and see if there are any remaining monsters that survived this catastrophic attack, and kill them immediately,” King Richard’s voice suddenly resounded from the distance, carrying his authority as the king.

“Understood, Your Majesty!” Everyone nodded and immediately began searching for any corrupted monsters that may have survived the attack.

“Your Majesty, do you really think that after such an attack there would be any monsters left alive?” Archmage Isadora appeared from behind and asked. She used her magical sense but couldn’t find anything in the vicinity.

King Richard looked at her for a moment before responding, “We can’t be careless with them. They’re so resilient that they didn’t die even after being decapitated, so we have to be extra careful with these vile creatures.”

“I see… in that case, do carry on with your searching. In the meantime, I’ll go and get a few samples for my research.” Archmage Isadora then left King Richard and approached a random flattened monster to get its sample.

When she examined the flattened corpse of the corrupted monster, she noticed that their hearts had been fragmented, which seemed impossible with any existing spell or technique, at least to her knowledge.

“I can feel the presence of a strange energy in these corpses… it isn’t miasma energy either,” Archmage Isadora was surprised by her discovery and, at the same time, felt very confused.

She didn’t think much about the mysterious energy in the corpses and retrieved her tools from her magic pouch, beginning to collect samples for her research.

A few moments later, Archmage Isadora approached Valeria and the others. Looking at them with anticipation, she asked, “Miss Valeria, do you happen to know what kind of spell caused this? After all, you and the others are his wives. You must know something about it.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you anything regarding this, as I also don’t have any clue about it,” Valeria replied with a sigh.

“Is that so…” Archmage Isadora was a bit disappointed that she couldn’t get anything from Valeria and decided to ask the same thing to Mireya and Sylvia.

Unfortunately for her, their answers were the same. They said that they had no idea what Yuan used to cause this much destruction, which only disappointed her further. Since she had no way of knowing it, she decided to give up on finding out, for now at least.

‘Only one person can answer my questions now—Yuan. Only he can give me the answers that I need,’ Archmage Isadora pondered.

A few moments later, everyone returned after searching for any remaining corrupted monsters and informed King Richard that they hadn’t found any hiding nearby.

“I see… Since that’s the case, let’s move forward and assist the Celestial Blades with their fight against the corrupted monsters!” King Richard said.

“Understood, Your Majesty!”

Everyone agreed, quickly gathering together and heading toward the frontline where Yuan and his wives were clashing against the hordes of corrupted monsters.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, Anna and the others finished slaughtering all the corrupted monsters. Not a single one was left alive or moving.

“I feel truly alive when I move my sword and slaughter those vile creatures…” Lily mumbled in a low, excited voice, a grin of a true madman on her face.

“You’re being sadistic, Lily,” Emma said nonchalantly, making Lily’s face twist in annoyance.

“Sister Emma, how can you say something like that to me? Aren’t I your sister?” Lily looked at Emma with a pout on her face, pretending to be saddened by her words.

“You guys have become really strong after awakening your elemental affinities. You completely dominated the battlefield!”

Suddenly, Yuan’s proud voice resounded from behind, forcing them to turn their heads.

“Isn’t that amazing?! We managed to slaughter all the monsters on the battlefield!” Lily exclaimed, arriving before him with a wide grin on her face, her eyes sparkling.

“Don’t celebrate just yet, Big Sis,” Yuan replied, looking into the distance with a smile. “Look, another large group of corrupted monsters is heading our way. I can even sense a few powerful presences among them.”

“…” “Huh?”

His wives immediately looked in the same direction Yuan was looking, their eyes widening in shock as soon as they saw the hundreds of thousands of monsters rushing toward them.

“I-Impossible! Just how many corrupted monsters do we have to kill to reach the center of the nest?!” Leah exclaimed, disbelief evident on her face, her legs beginning to shake from fear.

She was quite exhausted from slaughtering the corrupted monsters nonstop, and with yet another massive group of monsters showing up, there was no way she could fight continuously without a break.

Anna approached her and placed her hands on Leah’s shoulders. In a gentle voice, she said, “Don’t worry, we can defeat them all with ease. There is nothing to fear.”

“Um,” Leah nodded her head with a slight blush on her face and gave a light hug to her mother-in-law, making Anna smile.

Then, Xi Meili offered, “If you don’t want to fight anymore, you can stand here and watch the battle with me.”

“That would be wonderful, Leah,” Yuan said with a smile. “If you’re feeling exhausted, you can stay with Xi Meili. She will keep you safe.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” Leah nodded with a smile, but she wanted to fight as long as she could keep moving. Once she was no longer able to fight, she would stop and rest.

“Yuan, are you guys alright?”

Just then, Yuan and his wives heard a familiar voice from behind. They turned their heads and saw that it was none other than Mireya.

Valeria, Mireya, and Sylvia appeared from behind, worry etched on their faces. Their eyes widened as they took in the numerous massive craters all over the place. Hundreds of thousands of corrupted monsters lay dead on the ground, the sight so gruesome it made them feel like vomiting.

“W-What just happened here?! How did this place become like this?!” Valeria exclaimed.

Both the Mages and the Warriors were baffled by the destruction. Massive cracks scarred the ground, and craters were everywhere. Even Valeria, despite having participated in hundreds of battles, was shocked by the sheer devastation. This battlefield was otherworldly to her.

“D-Did you guys cause this, my dear? This is totally bizarre!” Valeria asked, disbelief clear on her face.

“You could say that…” Yuan responded with a strange smile. He couldn’t just tell her that it was the result of testing a new technique he had recently learned.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake again, the trembling growing stronger as various creepy monster roars echoed in the distance.

“W-What’s happening?! Why is the ground shaking?!” Mireya cried.

People looked at each other, confused, and then felt the overwhelming presence of the corrupted monsters.

Yuan’s face turned serious. He looked at his wives. “Get ready, they’re coming!”

“Understood!” His wives quickly nodded, ready to face the monsters once again.

The onlookers were dumbfounded by Yuan’s shout. They looked into the distance with complicated expressions. Before they realized it, their legs began to shake at the sight of the approaching horde.

Whoosh! Yuan’s figure vanished as he dashed toward the incoming monsters, shocking everyone with his lightning-fast speed.

“Burning Heavens Fist…” Yuan mumbled in a low voice.

Rumble! Rumble!

The sky began to glow in a bright crimson light before multiple humongous fists made of crimson flames descended from the heavens.

“…”

Both the Mages and the Warriors were baffled, witnessing this mysterious phenomenon for a second time, and this time it was far grander than the previous one.

BOOM! BOOM!

Multiple massive explosions occurred in the distance as the massive fists made of flames hit the monsters, the heat burning all the corrupted creatures to ashes.

Once the flames died out, except for the massive craters formed by the powerful impacts of the fists, nothing could be found on the battlefield. Not a single monster managed to survive the attack.

“…”

Everyone looked at the scene in sheer disbelief. They couldn’t believe their eyes. It turned out that the previous phenomenon was indeed caused by Yuan; their suspicion was spot on.

“U-Unbelievable…!! W-What just happened?!”

“It’s Yuan. He… he obliterated all the monsters with a single attack! This is unbelievable!”

Mireya, Sylvia, and Valeria stared at the destroyed battlefield with dazed looks on their faces, clearly having trouble believing what they had just witnessed.

With a calm look on his face, Yuan returned to his wives and stated, “The path is clear now. Let’s head toward their nest.”

“Very well. Let’s go before another group of monsters shows up,” Rose said with a calm look on her face. Inwardly, she felt a bit disappointed that she didn’t get to punch some of the monsters.

After that, they headed toward the nest. However, entering the nest wasn’t easy as millions of monsters guarded the surroundings.

Meanwhile, at the center of the nest, the queen monster responsible for giving birth to millions of corrupted monsters suddenly trembled. This did not go unnoticed by the guardian monsters that had been protecting their queen.

“K-Kill the rats that are trying to invade the nest! Kill them all!” the Queen commanded the guardian monsters with a creepy voice, a terrifying aura emanating from her body.

“A-As you wish, Mother…” One of the guardian monsters responded and swiftly left the scene without making a sound.
