Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill - Chapter 362:Peak Emperor Knight
Chapter 362:Peak Emperor Knight
“Thank God they came at the right time.”
With these, he could finally change something that had been bothering him for a long time.
Sophia, Lia, and Diana, along with his first four children except Ray, all had relatively low potential. It was like a small bone stuck in his throat. He could ignore it, but it was always there, reminding him.
Now, he could finally help them rise.
A gentle smile appeared on his face as that thought settled in his heart.
Then his gaze moved to the remaining potion.
His smile slowly stiffened.
“Huh?”
[Troll Bloodline Potion.]
Ethan stared at it, then blinked.
“What the hell?”
“You want me to become a troll?”
For a moment, he was truly taken aback. His lips twitched, and he almost laughed in disbelief. Still, he shook his head and forced himself to calm down.
“If the system gave this to me,” he muttered, “then it must have some meaning.”
He focused again, and the description appeared clearly.
[Troll Bloodline Potion.]
Grants rapid regeneration, enhanced healing, and strong resistance to disease. As long as the user does not lose limbs completely, recovery is possible.
Ethan frowned slightly and examined it more closely.
“Five percent,” he said quietly.
From the estimate given by the system, once the Troll bloodline reached around twenty percent, even missing limbs could regenerate.
He leaned back and thought for a moment.
“I don’t really need this,” he said.
With the blessing of the Goddess of Light, his healing ability was already strong. This potion would be redundant for him.
But giving it away felt wrong too. It was a rare thing, and choosing who deserved it was not simple.
After a short silence, his eyes sharpened.
“Uncle Randall,” he said.
“He’s been with us for the longest time. He’s always on the front line.”
He nodded to himself.
“I’ll give it to him first. When I get more, the others can have their share.”
With that decision made, Ethan straightened his back.
“Collect the insight,” he said.
The moment the command left his lips, a violent change erupted inside him.
Four hundred years of knight insight and another four hundred years of mage insight poured into his mind at the same time. It felt as if countless lifetimes were being forced into his consciousness all at once.
His thoughts exploded.
Scenes flashed before his eyes.
Battlefields soaked in blood. Endless duels. Training until his bones ached. Casting spells again and again until his mana ran dry.
Failing to break through losing,and adjusting.
Then Improving the inherent weakness.
Every mistake he had ever made was laid bare.
Every flaw in his stance, every hesitation in his casting, every moment where he could have reacted faster appeared clearly in his mind.
His breathing grew heavy.
His muscles tightened, then relaxed.
Mana surged through his body, flowing more smoothly than ever before. His bones creaked softly as if adjusting themselves. His flesh felt denser, stronger, yet lighter at the same time.
Inside his mind, his understanding of his own path became sharp and clear.
A low hum echoed through the chamber.
Crackling waves of power burst out from Ethan’s body, slamming into the walls of the training room. The formations trembled but held.
His magic power, which had been stuck at Master rank for a long time, finally broke free.
The stagnant wall shattered.
Mana surged upward.
Master Mage.
King Mage.
It did not stop.
His magic continued to rise, pushing through the early stage and climbing steadily until it reached the upper realm of King Mage.
Ethan’s eyes widened slightly as he felt the difference.
At the same time, his knight cultivation also moved.
The bottleneck that had been restraining him cracked.
Intermediate Emperor Knight.
The pressure around his body intensified.
Then it surged again.
Peak Emperor Knight.
Ethan clenched his fists as a deep sense of weight settled into his aura. The air around him seemed to bend slightly, unable to bear his presence easily.
“What shocked him most,” he whispered, “is that four hundred years were enough to push me this far.”
But as the excitement settled, he understood why.
His current potential was A-rank. For someone like that, the Emperor Knight realm was already close to the limit. The four hundred years of insight were not just time. They were pure experiences. Four centuries of focused training, battle, refinement, and understanding.
It was natural that such an accumulation would bring him here but not enough to break out cause it’s already the end.
Still, he knew the truth.
“From here on,” he said quietly, “progress will slow down.”
Unless he improved his potential further, either through high-grade aptitude potions or by forming bonds with women of even higher potential, advancement would no longer be explosive.
But Ethan did not feel anxious.
“This is already enough,” he thought.
He stood there, letting the power settle instead of rushing forward blindly.
As the surge faded, countless details surfaced in his mind.
Moments from past battles replayed, but this time he saw them differently. He noticed how his sword angle was slightly off. How his spell timing could have been sharper. How his reactions lacked decisiveness in critical moments.
He saw everything clearly now.
His aura grew calm, heavy, and restrained.
“This changes everything,” Ethan said softly.
He looked around the silent training chamber and slowly closed his eyes.
There was much to digest. Much to plan.
Power alone was not enough.
He still needed to master it.
Especially the two new skills.
Darkness Enroacher and Holy Sword Light Array.
Darkness and light.
Two opposing elements.
To possess both was extremely rare.
And now, he was one of those rare beings.
A faint smile formed on his lips.
“With darkness,” he murmured, “I no longer need to fear corrosion and nefarious effects brought by curses and other attacks because I can counter them how..”
“It’s not as if this matter is caused by the Blessing of Goddess of Light already taken care of.”
“And with light,” he added, “I also have an edge over those evil beings.
The chamber fell silent once more as Ethan entered deep contemplation, preparing himself for the path ahead.
