While My Mage Wife Grinds, I Power Up Idly
Chapter 123: Great! We’re Saved!

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Great! We’re Saved!

Within the Imperial Capital’s army, as soldiers were mercilessly slaughtered like grass by Bloodbell, the expert hiding deep within the ranks finally made his move.

His figure was ghostlike, his speed lightning fast.

Without any warning, he suddenly appeared right above Bloodbell’s head.

At this moment, Bloodbell’s huge form stood about fifteen meters tall, his broad head big enough for a person to stand on.

And this man seemed to appear out of nowhere, standing on Bloodbell’s head.

"What a bunch of lowly, savage creatures. Tsk."

As soon as the words fell, the man lifted his leg and stomped down—his foot like a sharp dagger, his entire lower leg stabbing deep into Bloodbell’s skull!

The clash of two top-tier warriors was decided at this moment.

Unmatched impact waves spread in all directions, shaking the ground until burnt bones turned to dust.

"Great! Lord Ansarhin has made his move!"

"We’re saved! Lord Ansarhin is actually in the ranks? I had no idea!"

"That’s obvious! If you could spot Lord Ansarhin, you’d have already been rewarded by The Royal Family! He’s the legitimate ’King of Assassins’!"

"Lord Ansarhin, kill that giant bear! We’ll wipe out the other Demons!"

Hundreds of meters away, the soldiers cheered, as if victory was within reach.

After all, they clearly saw Ansarhin’s sneak attack deeply pierce Bloodbell’s vital spot.

That was the skull! A whole lower leg stabbed in—there was no way he could survive, right?

However!

What they didn’t expect was that Bloodbell hadn’t died. Instead, he clamped Ansarhin’s leg with his skull, restricting his movement, and his left hand’s jet-black claw was already slamming forward!

"Damn flea! You’ve run into me again!" Bloodbell’s roar echoed.

He hated Assassins deeply.

Last time in Netherrealm, Antikythera had utterly humiliated him, and he even suffered punishment from the great Demon Shava. This time, yet another Assassin came after him.

Never mind why Assassins in this world liked to target him—a thick-skinned bear Demon—just having one stand on his head was enough to ignite Bloodbell’s murderous intent.

"Bang—!"

A tremendous sound spread across the battlefield. Bloodbell’s claw strike missed completely, and the man called Ansarhin appeared a hundred meters away.

His left leg was dripping with blood.

In this critical moment, he sacrificed the limb to save himself, scraping off the skin from his lower leg to break free.

Such pain would have made an ordinary person grit their teeth and convulse on the ground, but for an expert whose strength matched the "King of Assassins" and was on par with the "Mage-King," "Bow King," and "Sword King," this level of pain was nothing.

His expression remained cold as ice, his eyes like sharp stars, fixed unblinkingly on Bloodbell.

"A duplicitous lowlife, truly cunning. Tsk."

Hearing this,

Bloodbell slowly lowered his left hand and clenched his massive war blade with his right.

"You better keep your mouth tough for a while, flea." Bloodbell knew his own situation clearly. His current strength was not his true power. He could feel his strength burning away along with his lifespan. Once his lifespan was exhausted, his power would vanish too. Therefore, he could not afford to waste time on a King of Assassins. Instead, he had to attack others. "After I slaughter all these people, you better still have the guts to keep talking!"

Battling a King of Assassins was a waste of time and life.

But slaughtering humans—killing a hundred was no loss, a thousand was a blood profit. If he could kill ten thousand, then even in Netherrealm, his fame would be immortal.

Moreover,

He knew clearly that the great Demon Shava fed on life and fear. As long as these people were wiped out, Shava would surely recover!

At that time, with him taking over, they could annihilate even more humans!

Thus, at least a third of the humans killed by Shava in the end would be credited to him, after all, it was with his own flesh and blood that he built this bridge between the two!

Ansarhin’s expression changed.

The soldiers five hundred meters away were stunned instantly.

Ansarhin had made the move, so why was Bloodbell taking revenge on them?

Watching Bloodbell stride toward them with his thick legs, and knowing that as a King of Assassins Ansarhin was powerless to stop him, the soldiers fell into despair.

"No, no!!"

"Lord Ansarhin! Save me!"

"Damn bear! Don’t chase me, don’t chase me! Move out of my way, you up front! Don’t block the damn road!"

"I’m just a regular soldier, why chase me! Damn it!"

...

In the distance,

Ashu silently observed the battlefield.

Bloodbell ignored his wounds and slaughtered wildly, and this slaughter fed Shava. As one side weakened, the Imperial Capital’s army grew weaker, while the Demon forces grew stronger.

Even though the Imperial Capital army numbered over ten thousand, before the high-tier combatants, ten thousand was not enough.

Shava’s muscles were gradually recovering, and his strength was climbing upward, showing signs of returning to his peak.

If there were two high-tier fighters among the Demon forces simultaneously, then the outcome of this war would surely be a devastating defeat for the Imperial Capital army!

Ashu’s goal was not to support either side winning, but to drag both into a prolonged war. No matter how populous the Imperial Capital was, with such attrition as today, they absolutely could not hold out.

Therefore,

He had to stop it in time—just enough to let Shava recover his peak, but not to continue consuming the Imperial Capital’s "consumables." After all, there were still two months left, and the army could not be wiped out before that time came.

After pondering for a moment, Ashu quietly slipped into the shadows of the ruins in "Rose Valley" town.

When he reappeared, he had completely transformed, his attire radiating brilliance, his entire body shrouded in a layer of divine Holy Light.

His Bishop’s robe fluttered in the wind, the Bishop Sovereign Ring glowed with Magical Essence, and the Divine Mother Goddess statue in his hand was like an unparalleled sacred artifact. At this moment, he was in "luminous saint" mode.

Having completed the "Reaper" achievements, it was time to rack up achievements with the Divine Mother Goddess.

Ashu took a deep breath and leapt out from the city gate, striding like a dragon and tiger, his body bursting with pure and powerful light, like a dazzling new star that instantly drew everyone’s attention on the battlefield.

"Demons! Do not be arrogant! Today, I, the ’luminous saint,’ stand here to proclaim before my holy Mother Goddess that I will surely drive you away!" His voice boomed across the battlefield like a great bell, filled with unquestionable authority.

The panicked soldiers, at the moment they heard his voice, were utterly confused.

They had no idea what "luminous saint" meant, nor did they know much about Ashu. Perhaps they had heard rumors about some trouble on the border. But under the strict administration of the Imperial Capital, border matters were not worth deep investigation.

Yet now, as the intense light of the Divine Mother Goddess blazed like a meteor cleansing the battlefield, they suddenly realized—this "luminous saint" was truly formidable.

Ashu charged straight into the chaos from behind the Demon forces.

Wherever he went, all low-tier Demons were incinerated to ashes by the Holy Light!

Though his normal strength was only at the Magister level, wielding the Divine Mother Goddess statue gave him a sense of absolute security.

Seeing this,

A cheer erupted among the human army; their previously low morale soared instantly.

"The luminous saint is here! We’re saved!"

"What? We’re saved again?"

"Divine Mother Goddess bless us! Divine Mother Goddess bless us! From today, I pledge my faith to the Divine Mother Goddess!"

"I told you, when dealing with Demons, you have to send Holy Cultivator Guild members!"

...

The shouts rose and fell like the tide.

Meanwhile, the Demon army roared angrily, turning all their fury toward this sudden unwelcome intruder.

Bloodbell turned his massive head to look at Ashu, who was swiftly using Flight Magic.

From Ashu’s figure, he felt a faint sense of familiarity.

But Ashu, wielding the Divine Mother Goddess statue in both hands, carried an aura completely opposite to that of the Reaper Devotee Ashu.

One radiated the Divine Mother Goddess’s light, which Demons utterly despised.

The other was the Death God Devotee in exclusive "Reaper’s Resolve" mode, with his face hidden.

"Luminous saint... luminous saint!" Bloodbell suddenly jolted. He recalled something—previously, a Cardinal from the Holy Cultivator Guild had fallen from grace and merged with Demon blood.

The origin of that incident was a "luminous saint" who killed the Cardinal’s son!

Now, that "luminous saint" stood right before him.

If he could kill a "luminous saint," it would bring far more renown than killing ten thousand humans... no, even more than killing a hundred thousand humans!

"Thud thud—"

Bloodbell’s footsteps halted as he turned around to face Ashu directly.

Seeing this, the other soldiers sighed in relief, finally able to catch their breath.

At that moment,

A figure flashed beside Ashu. Ansarhin, the "King of Assassins," appeared at his side.

Ansarhin was grateful for Ashu’s arrival, which helped draw Bloodbell’s attention. Otherwise, with too many losses, even if he escaped, he would be executed by the Crown Prince.

"Your Excellency, ’luminous saint,’ thank you for your intervention. Your appearance saved nine thousand soldiers’ lives," Ansarhin flattered him. He knew the Crown Prince’s plan but now was clearly not the time to assassinate Ashu.

Only a living "luminous saint" could attract Demons; a dead one couldn’t. At least Ansarhin understood that.

In response,

Ashu secretly clenched the Divine Mother Goddess statue. This army, under the banner of Atras The Royal Family, clearly took orders directly from the monarchy.

And Atras The Royal Family was colluding with the Kingdom of Ankgarde Queen’s Faction, scheming against him.

So obviously, this King of Assassins was an enemy.

From a precautionary standpoint, he had to be wary of this man.

"Divine Mother Goddess bless! No need to thank me. Everything is guided by the Divine Mother Goddess," Ashu replied.
