My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 450 Going All Out

"The second wave is coming! Prepare yourselves for a big battle. This time, the number of monsters is twice the previous wave!"

Everyone's expressions immediately turned serious upon hearing this. They looked around with anxious faces as they began to feel the ground trembling.

With each passing second, the trembling grew more intense, eventually feeling like a massive earthquake. Everyone's faces turned pale, and a palpable sense of dread filled the air.

"T-The ground is trembling…!"

"Dear God, just how many of those corrupted creatures are approaching us?"

"Didn't you hear what Mr. Yuan said? The wave this time is much bigger, probably tens of thousands of monsters!"

"W-What the heck are you talking about? Can we even defeat such a number of monsters? Moreover, they can't be killed easily—even if we destroy their heads, they will still continue to move."

Yuan and Valeria ignored the ignorant remarks of the people and fixed their gaze on the horizon as they heard the fierce roars of various monsters. The roars sent shockwaves through the forest, thickening the air with an eerie sense of dread.

With each passing second, the trembling of the ground and the screams of the monsters intensified. The air became thick with tension as everyone waited for the monsters to appear.

The remaining monsters that Yuan and his wives hadn't killed gathered in one place as if waiting for backup. Seeing this, Yuan began to suspect that the corrupted monsters had some level of intelligence or were receiving commands from something or someone.

Shortly, thousands of powerful corrupted creatures emerged from the thick miasma, surrounding everyone from all directions. The number of monsters was ten times higher than before.

"This is…" King Richard looked around with a shocked expression, seemingly in disbelief. The number of monsters was too overwhelming for them, and they didn't have the courage to face such a formidable horde.

ROOOOAAARRRRRRR!!!!

The monsters halted their steps, glaring at the hundreds of their kind lying dead on the ground. Furious, they roared in unison, causing the air to vibrate and the people to tremble before the formidable presence of thousands of corrupted creatures surrounding them from all directions.

Holy Son Arthur looked at the monsters with an astonishing expression, which gradually turned to horror as the monsters continued emerging from the thick miasma.

'So many of them… Can we even win against such a number? I don't care about the others, but I have to think of a way to survive this crisis,' he pondered with a sense of determination.

Meanwhile, Crown Prince Daniel clenched his fists, gripped the hilt of his magic sword tightly, and took an offensive stance.

"Everyone! Ready for attack and defense, they're coming!" Crown Prince Daniel shouted, dashing toward the monsters with a wide grin on his face. Despite the fear of seeing so many monsters, he also felt a strange excitement as the monsters roared furiously at them.

'This excitement… I have never felt anything like this before… I can feel my heart throbbing!' Daniel mumbled inwardly, his lips curving into a wide grin.

Seeing the Crown Prince charging toward the monsters with the intention of obliterating them, everyone else screamed excitedly and followed his lead with their weapons raised.

Clang! Clang! Bang! Boom!

Shortly, the sound of weapons clashing against the monsters' claws resounded throughout the battlefield, accompanied by massive explosions as mages provided support by casting long-range magic spells.

King Richard looked at his imperial knights and signaled them to follow him. They dashed toward the monsters, clashing fiercely with the corrupted creatures. Wielding a sword with a golden handle, King Richard decapitated a monster with a single swing and then stabbed his sword into its chest, destroying its heart. The monster ceased moving as if its soul had been extinguished.

While some managed to defeat the monsters, most people were being pushed back. The monsters were too powerful for them to hold off or defeat easily. King Richard glanced at the corpses of the monsters he had slain, his face showing exhaustion from overusing his body-enhancing magic.

'There are too many monsters… I don't think we will be able to defeat them without many casualties…' He sighed, observing his fallen comrades lying among the monster corpses.

Meanwhile, Holy Son Arthur was casting Holy Magic on his Holy Knights, enhancing their fighting abilities and fortifying their bodies to withstand and deflect attacks from the powerful corrupted monsters.

'I have to fight to survive. I can't die here. I have so much to accomplish; I have a whole future ahead,' Arthur mumbled to himself as he created a massive golden spear in the air.

"Now die, you vile creatures! Majestic Holy Spear!" Arthur shouted at the top of his lungs, launching the golden spear toward the monsters.

Boom! A loud explosion followed as the golden spear obliterated the monsters nearby, killing more than fifty. Feeling a sense of accomplishment, Arthur looked at Crown Prince Daniel with a smug smile, seemingly trying to provoke him.

People were shocked by the massive explosion and turned around to see who had used such powerful magic. To their greatest surprise, it was Arthur, the Holy Son of the Holy Church of Light and Justice.

"The Holy Son does have an ace up his sleeve, no wonder he is the Holy Son after all."

"Such a level of power, as expected from the Holy Son of the strongest empire."

"Let's not waste our time, the monsters keep coming out of the miasma. We have to kill them before their numbers grow beyond what we can handle."

The battlefield remained chaotic, but Arthur's display of power renewed a spark of hope and determination among the fighters. With renewed vigor, they charged at the corrupted creatures, determined to push back the overwhelming horde.

People were surprised to witness that the Holy Son of the Holy Church of Light and Justice possessed a powerful, highly destructive magic spell as his trump card. However, their attention soon shifted to the approaching monsters, who were coming with the intent to kill. The battlefield was filled with the horrifying screams of monsters and people alike.

Many monsters fell at the hands of the people, and at the same time, many people lost their lives trying to defend themselves against the monsters. Meanwhile, Yuan looked at the approaching Corrupted Monsters with a smirk on his face. Feeling the tension in the air, he felt very excited and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Darling, you seem very excited about slaughtering those mindless creatures…Shall we start now?" Grace arrived close to Yuan, her excitement evident in her voice, which made the grin on his face widen.

Yuan looked at his wives with a wide smile. "Let's go and have some fun. My hands are itching to slaughter them and cut them into countless pieces."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's dominate the battlefield!" Grace grinned widely at him, making the others shake their heads and sigh.

Soon, they entered the battlefield once again. Yuan didn't waste a single moment and began his relentless attacks on the Corrupted Monsters, killing them instantly without giving them a chance to escape.

In just a few minutes, Yuan killed more than five hundred monsters without using his sword techniques. Then he saw that the monsters were still coming from the thick miasma as if there was no end to them.

"Damn it! The more we kill, the more they come…At this rate, we won't be able to eliminate them before the others run out of mana," Yuan muttered, a serious look on his face as the situation got out of hand.

While he was thinking, Grace suddenly approached him, placed her hands on his shoulders, and said, "Darling, if we don't use our full strength, then we won't be able to end this quickly. I suggest we all go all out from here."

"I also agree," Anna nodded. "We should use our full strength and end this quickly. I don't think those mortals can hold back the monsters for another half an hour."

"In that case, let's not waste our time, shall we?" Yuan responded with a wide grin and stepped forward confidently.

He then raised his sword toward the sky, and his body exploded with immense spiritual energy, sending powerful shockwaves through the forest. The sword suddenly glowed with a blinding golden light.

The golden light was so strong and powerful that it pierced through the thick miasma and reached the heavens, making every being inside the forest tremble before the overwhelming pressure of the golden light.

The pressure was so intense and terrifying that no one dared to move a muscle, including the Corrupted Monsters emerging from the thick miasma.

"Empyreal Severing Sword Strike!"

The golden beam of light shot out from the sword and rushed at the Corrupted Monsters. The golden light then transformed into a majestic golden dragon with a terrifying look.

The Corrupted Monsters watched the golden beam flying toward them with wide eyes. They wanted to dodge the attack, but due to the overwhelming pressure the light was emitting, they were unable to move.
