Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)
chapter-617

Everyone down below thought that this time Damien was surely going to get shot down this time since those combined attacks from the eleven experts were just too blinding and intimidating.

They could even feel the ripples of ethereal energy sending tremors through the land they were standing on. Most of them never thought they would ever see such a sight with all these powerful experts attacking a young man at the same time.

And most of them even ran back into their homes, not daring to get caught up in the middle of this even if they were keen on knowing the outcome.

But right before all these attacks could touch Damien, suddenly a jet black solid icy sphere formed around him and the two girls, much to the confusion and surprise of everyone.

What the hell is that?...

However, the eleven experts didn't have the luxury to think about it as their eyes widened upon seeing every attack they had shot at Damien had bounced against that weird jet black sphere, sending off a huge shockwave of ethereal energy upon impact.

Still, the spherical barrier stood strong, and the eleven experts were even more shocked when they saw their attacks had bounced and were heading right towards them at an overwhelming speed!

When did they ever come upon someone who could reflect so many powerful attacks at the same time? Or even if they did, would they ever expect a junior to be capable of such a feat? Hell no!

And so, even if the eleven experts had inhuman reflexes, they were just not expecting this kind of situation and thus were unable to dodge their own attacks in time, resulting in each one of them getting struck by their attacks.

A chorus of grunts echoed in the sky as all eleven of them broke their formation from being stunned as Damien easily flew past them.

As Damien flew by, he also severed the necks of the two elders who were right near him, killing the two instantly, much to the shock of the others.

Even though it seemed like Damien was carrying Lily and Yuria, his lightning was actually helping Lily and Yuria stick to his body without him needing to hold them, though Lily can fly on her own as well.

But seeing things take such a shocking turn and also turning into a bloody sight of experts getting killed like flies, the other experts became quite wary about this junior, not daring to underestimate him just because of his age.

By now, even the egoistic ones among them had to come to terms with the reality that this boy was an abomination…a monster that defied all common sense and must be dealt with accordingly.

Some of the experts even subtly moved a bit behind so that they wouldn't cut down first even if they were still chasing him. Why would they want to die for an eighteen-year-old brat after cultivating like a fool for so many years? Was their life a joke? Even if they knew they might die against another cultivator, they didn't mind if the other party was a powerful senior. But dying to a junior who was not even as old as their kids were one of the most humiliating things a cultivator could undergo.

"Stop being cowards and pull up the city barrier!" Ruthren roared upon seeing some of his own experts acting like cowardly dogs. Even if he himself had admitted that Damien was a monstrous oddball he couldn't figure out, it didn't mean that Damien was stronger than him.

And right now was the perfect chance to take him down and make him vomit all his secrets to how he quickly became so powerful. He had already analyzed Damien because of his experience of reading people after governing an empire for centuries.

He knew that all he had to do was torture Damien's women, and Damien would be coughing out every piece of meat like a strangled cat.

"Damien, confidence is good, but overconfidence would only lead you to your own grave. And coming to this city, right where I am, just to mock me like a child, you just sealed your own death warrant. Now obediently surrender to me, and I will promise to not kill you but give you the benefit of the doubt of being a terrorist considering you exposed the vile deeds of two leaders of this continent," Ruthren decided to change his tune a bit to see if he could show some carrot to Damien hoping he would bite. After all, Damien was just a boy in the end, and he was a fugitive, the most wanted man in the world.

So how long can he keep running like this? Wouldn't a kid like him feel exhausted and give up before not too long? And since Damien had already been on the run for a while, Ruthren thought that he must be already feeling fed up with all this and probably why he must not have thought straight by gatecrashing the Great Hall and exposing himself to everyone who was after him.

But Ruthren had no idea that Damien was someone who was used to the life of a fugitive, though this time, Damien had no plans to remain one.

"Yea, sure. If you kowtow to me now, then I might grant you a pig's death. Quick and easy," Damien laughed, making Ruthren realize that this boy truly was ignorant of death and was determined to make him die in the most painful way possible and even torture his heart.

He was very confident that Damien couldn't escape, but this time. Still, he knew Damien was a slippery one, and just to be safe, he ordered to pull up the city barriers so that Damien couldn't leave the city anyway and to destroy the barrier not even he could do within a short time.

However, right as Damien was about to cross the border, Ruthren's expression became unsightly.
