My Celestial Ascension

"T-There is nothing in the crater! It seems that the monsters got vaporized by the powerful explosion!"

"D-Does that mean the monsters are… dead?!"

"It seems that way, but we cannot be sure… after all, the corrupted monsters are nearly immortal and cannot be killed easily."

"Indeed, we still need to keep our guards up. Who knows what will happen the next second? There are still a few million corrupted monsters inside the monster nest. We cannot let our guard down."

In the large crater that had just formed due to the massive crimson fist falling from heaven, there was only smoke and scattered debris. Not even a bone could be found.

However, since the corrupted monsters are very hard to kill and almost immortal, people still weren't a hundred percent sure that the monsters had been killed by the explosion.

"I can't sense any movement from there… I guess the monsters were killed by the explosion," Archmage Isadora spoke a moment later.

Archmage Eldrick also nodded, confirming Archmage Isadora's words. "Indeed. I also can't sense any movement from there, and not only that, but the presence of those powerful corrupted monsters has completely disappeared."

Archmage Eldrick was a much older and more experienced mage compared to Archmage Isadora, so the others immediately took his words for granted.

Since the death of the three powerful corrupted monsters was now confirmed, people began to relax and sigh with relief, knowing they didn't have to fight such powerful beings anymore.

BOOOMMM!

Suddenly, another massive explosion shook the area as Rose used her elemental power to create a huge blast, killing tens of thousands of monsters at once.

Upon hearing the explosion, people's expressions turned serious once again, and they looked at the other side of the battlefield where Yuan's wives were slaughtering monsters like cabbages.

"Everyone! The fight hasn't ended yet, so don't relax now!" Crown Prince Daniel shouted, attracting everyone's attention to himself.

Then he took a deep breath and shouted, "We have to make sure that every monster is dead, so kill any monsters that managed to escape from them!"

"Yeah!!" People shouted in excitement as they readied their weapons and magic spells to slaughter the escaped monsters. Everyone began searching for any corrupted monsters that had managed to escape.

As soon as they found any escaped monsters, they would gang up on them and kill them instantly with their combined effort, while the experienced hunters would kill them alone.

In just a few minutes, they killed more than a hundred monsters that had managed to escape from the wrath of Yuan's wives. Although those corrupted monsters had managed to escape, their conditions weren't good, as their bodies were heavily injured from the ruthless slaughter.

After an hour of relentless slaughter, Yuan's wives finally managed to defeat all the monsters that had come out of their nest. More than tens of thousands of dead bodies were scattered throughout the place.

All the dead bodies had one thing in common: their chests were either ripped apart or had a massive hole in them. Some of them were even frozen in huge ice blocks before their bodies turned to dust.

People were speechless upon witnessing the tens of thousands of corpses lying all over the place, creating a mountain of bodies, and the entire area was covered in the blood of the corrupted monsters.

This scene was anything but pleasant, and some people even began puking on the spot, including the Holy Son, who was hiding behind his Holy Knights. He was afraid that if he went to fight the corrupted monsters with the others, he would lose his life.

'Damn it! They're so powerful. At this rate, I won't be able to get my vengeance on them…!' Arthur clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in frustration. It seemed it would be much harder for him to make Yuan and his wives pay for what they did to him.

'Sigh! The Holy Son seems to be very furious right now…'

The Holy Knights sensed the tension in the air and knew that the Holy Son wasn't happy with the result of the battle. Their enemies were dominating the battlefield with relative ease, making it look effortless.

Meanwhile, at the center of the monster nest, in the deepest part, the monster queen suddenly frowned upon sensing her children's deaths along with those of her strongest warriors.

This made the monster queen extremely furious. She had been working on her plan for a very long time, and now all her hard work had failed after progressing so much. She felt as though her dream had been shattered.

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the chamber became silent and cold, with no movement at all. It was like the calm before the storm as the monster queen's face turned extremely ugly, her eyes red with rage.

When her anger reached the boiling point, the monster queen shouted at the top of her lungs, "HUMANS!! HOW DARE THEY KILL ALL MY PRECIOUS CHILDREN?! I'LL KILL THEM ALL AND SLAUGHTER THEIR FAMILIES!!!"

"I'VE COME SO FAR, YET BECAUSE OF THOSE RUDE INVADERS, EVERYTHING I PLANNED HAS FAILED!! THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT! THIS IS UNFORGIVABLE!!"

As her creepy loud voice resounded throughout the whole nest, her aura became violent and soared high, and a powerful pressure descended upon the entire forest.

The moment the queen shouted, countless corrupted monsters became alert and rushed toward the outside of the nest, as the queen alerted every corrupted monster about the invaders.

Outside the nest, everything seemed calm, although it was deceptive.

King Richard instructed a few experienced hunters to keep an eye on the monster's nest and report to him immediately if they sensed any movement from it.

However, Yuan and his wives remained alert despite their calm and relaxed appearance on the outside. They were aware of everything that was currently going on underground.

BOOOOMMMM!!!!!

Suddenly, with a loud explosion, an extremely overwhelming pressure descended on the battlefield. Except for Yuan and his wives, everyone else's faces turned pale as death.

*Cough!* *Cough!* Archmage Isadora immediately fell to her knees upon feeling the overwhelming pressure on her body. The pressure was so intense that it made her cough blood from her mouth.

Several other people were in a similar state as Archmage Isadora; the pressure was too much for their bodies. Even King Richard and the others fell to their knees due to the pressure and the powerful sinister aura that suddenly covered the entire place.

"W-What is this dreadful feeling I'm getting?! This aura… it's very sinister!!"

Both the mages and warriors were baffled by the thick, sinister aura that covered the place. It was so strong that it made their hearts throb for a moment.

Before they could comprehend what was happening, the ground began to shake violently shortly after. They could sense countless strong presences approaching them from underground.

"It seems that the Corrupted Monster Queen has finally decided to come out of hiding… this is finally getting interesting!" A wide smile appeared on Yuan's face as he sensed the Monster Queen coming out of her cave with his divine sense.

"She seems to be very angry at us for slaughtering her children… moreover, she is quite powerful compared to the guardian monsters," Anna stated with a calm expression on her face. She was confident that her son could defeat the Monster Queen easily.

"It doesn't matter if she is angry at us or not. The only thing that matters here is that we clean this place as soon as possible and leave this forest for good," Lily added with an irritated voice. She was getting bored fighting weak monsters, and the atmosphere of the forest didn't suit her at all.

"Great Protective Barrier: ACTIVATE!" Suddenly, King Richard tossed a strange triangular device into the air and shouted. The object was made from gold and some other rare materials, and there were many strange symbols on it.

The symbols suddenly glowed with a bright light, and a massive multi-layered translucent barrier covered everyone in the vicinity. The pressure vanished inside the barrier, allowing them to stand up again.

BOOM! A massive explosion took place, and the ground burst open. A massive figure began to emerge from the hole, covered in a thick, sinister aura that made everyone feel sick.

ROOOAAAARRRRRR!!!

The monster let out a powerful roar that shook the entire place and caused cracks to appear all over the barrier created by King Richard, frightening most of the people.

Some of them even peed their pants out of fear. The monster's sinister aura made it hard for them to breathe, and they were having a hard time keeping their cool.

"YOU INSIGNIFICANT INSECTS! HOW DARE YOU INVADE MY TERRITORY AND KILL MY CHILDREN?! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!" As soon as the Monster Queen emerged from the cave, she shouted, looking at everyone with a murderous expression.

The monster had a massive body comparable to the size of a double-decker bus, with massive long limbs that it used to move its heavy body. Its claws were sharp enough to tear through almost anything.

"S-Such a massive and powerful monster…how are we going to defeat it?!" Both the mages and the warriors panicked upon witnessing the massive figure of the monster. They felt shivers down their spines upon hearing the creepy voice of the monster speaking to them.

Everyone had a pale expression on their faces, as if they had witnessed a frightening ghost in broad daylight, except for Yuan and his wives, of course.

While everyone else was frightened by the Monster Queen, Yuan slowly walked toward her with a calm look on his face.

"As expected of the queen, you're quite strong…but it's not enough. How very disappointing…" Yuan retrieved his sword from his system storage and gripped the handle tightly.

Upon hearing this, the Monster Queen focused her gaze on Yuan and narrowed her eyes at him.

"Oh, are you perhaps the one responsible for my children's deaths?" the Monster Queen questioned Yuan, demanding an answer.

However, whatever Yuan said to her, she had already decided to kill him. His answer held no importance to her; it was completely meaningless.

Yuan chuckled before responding, "Indeed. I'm the one responsible for everything…and now I'm going to kill you too."

"Hmph! Such arrogance for a mere human…!" She attacked Yuan without any warning with her sharp claws.

Whoosh! As the claw was about to hit him, Yuan moved to the side and dodged her attack easily.

Slash! Suddenly, a sharp noise was heard, as if something was being cut by a very sharp object.

Thud! The limb used to attack Yuan fell to the ground. When the Monster Queen realized that one of her limbs had been severed by Yuan, a sharp pain assaulted her, making her scream in agony.
