There was no need to fill the five clan leaders in on the situation. If Damien called them out, it meant it was time to fight. Although this time, it seemed the fight would be far fiercer.

"Brat…you broke through?" The White Dragon King finally noticed. The aura coming from Damien was so faint that he almost brushed over it.

Damien nodded lightly. "Mm, but we can talk about that later. For now, we fight!"

There were too many enemies coming at them already. While mental transmissions only took an instant to exchange, Damien was itching to rush ahead. The White Dragon King could easily feel the blazing inferno of fighting spirit coming from his body, so he let the matter rest as well.

After all, the thought of his junior catching up to him wasn't pleasant. His fighting spirit inadvertently erupted at the thought!

Without hesitation, Damien and his team charged at the incoming horde.

Even Damien wasn't foolish enough to believe he could easily fight against thousands of 4th classes when he just ascended, but currently, his greatest advantage was surprise.

Putting aside the fact that a freshly crowned 4th class wouldn't be used to their strength, they would have no Law comprehension to speak of. Comparatively, these established 4th classes should be far stronger.

But Damien was different. Not only did he already have some minor comprehension of Spatial Laws, but he could also utilize World Force and his new Void Mana to hold the advantage. He was far stronger than someone at the same level.

In a situation where single combat was practically impossible, his first goal was to leave a major psychological impact on this horde.

His feet stepped through the air like nothing, his body rapidly arriving in front of a man whose aura was far stronger than those around him.

This man was named Sylvius, and he was a 4th class from Asgard. He wasn't particularly outstanding among all of Asgard's forces, but his power wasn't something to scoff at. He was roughly at Aishia's level.

When Damien arrived in front of him, he swung the double-edged sword in his hand without hesitation, pouring out torrents of mana as he did so.

Lighting crackled and sundered the air around him, painting everything bright yellow. He had seen Damien's previous showing against the 3rd classes. He was in no way going to underestimate this enemy.

Damien grinned. Mirage appeared in his right hand and Hel appeared in his left. Pitch-black mana coiled around Mirage's blade, infusing it with space-time essence as he swung it to meet his opponent's blade.

'Lightning God Arts: Thunderous Impact!'

'Void Sword Art First Form: Bladeless'

A line was drawn through space wherever Mirage went. Its mere weight was enough to cause space to collapse. On the other hand, the lighting coiling around Sylvius's sword increased in quantity, raising his speed dozenfold until it far surpassed the sound barrier.

BOOM!

The collision between these two forces was more than just a little heavy. Sylvius rapidly twisted his body to the side, evading the massive spatial tear that Bladeless created.

When he looked over to see Damien doing the same, he found that his opponent actually hadn't moved at all! His lightning wasn't even an instant away from impacting Damien's body, yet he didn't dodge?

Damien grinned slyly at Slyvius' confusion. "If I knew you were a lighting expert I wouldn't have chosen you."

His left arm raised, the black gun in his grip letting off undulations of power. From its barrel, a silverish-black bullet was fired.

This was created from Damien's own lightning.

BANG!

Once again, a massive impact force rang out. Silver and yellow lighting intertwined and attempted to swallow each other. But despite Sylvius' lighting being composed of years of law comprehension, how could it contend with Damien, who had swallowed the Heavens' lighting itself?

The silver lighting rapidly devoured its opponent, its momentum constantly growing. When it finished its job, it continued forward, aiming for Sylvius himself!

Sylvius gritted his teeth and raised his sword. This lighting was a higher level existence than his, that was true, but he could feel that Damien's comprehension was lacking! While he possessed an advantage in raw power, Sylvius trumped him in skill!

His sword slashed rapidly, creating a web of lightning scars in the space around him. As the silver lightning approached this web, it was caught within and forced to wrestle against Sylvius' substantial comprehension.

At the same time, Sylius glared at Damien, his arms thrusting out.

'Lightning God Art: Lightning Asura!'

A six-armed demonic phantom formed behind him, each arm holding a different lightning weapon. As Sylvius moved, the avatar moved with him.

The top right arm that carried a massive lightning bolt and the middle left arm that held a domineering hammer moved together. One was fast and penetrative, while the other was slow and blunt. When combined together, they created a nearly unavoidable offense.

Damien's eyes hardened when he saw this. Right, even if their numbers made them seem like minor characters, these were all still 4th class beings. 2 years ago, he wouldn't have even dreamed of fighting against someone at Sylvius' level.

The lightning asura wasn't a joke. Damien couldn't use his own lighting to counter it, and it was true that his lack of law comprehension was currently limiting him.

He had no choice but to use something more substantial.

'Mirror Domain.'

Damien immediately summoned his domain, using the shattered space crystals it formed as a barrier against the lightning asura. At the same time, its first strike arrived.

"BURST!" Sylvius roared. The massive lightning bolt struck the spatial barrier, separating into countless smaller and more concentrated bolts and penetrating the defense.

But the Mirror Domain was also a surprisingly strong ability. A large majority of these miniature lighting bolts were banished into the void or redirected to different locations. As for the rest, they shattered parts of the barrier as they fizzled out.

But the lighting bolt was only an appetizer. The reason Sylvius burst it in the first place was to prepare for the second attack.

The lightning hammer came down. Its impact directly shattered half of Damien's barrier. Yet, this was only the beginning. Sylvius roared once again, causing the surrounding lightning mana to become active.

Any trace of the shattered lighting bolt that remained in the Mirror Domain spontaneously combusted in a chain reaction. Whips of lighting connected them together, forming a large diagram.

The lightning hammer finally broke through Damien's defense and impacted that diagram. As it did, it formed a resonant reaction with them, exponentially multiplying its force.

The Mirror Domain was enveloped in a storm of lightning that even Damien couldn't dodge. In that instant, he activated his transformation skills, moving the blood runes on his scales into a defensive formation.

BANG!

The lightning struck true against Damien's body. Waves of shock traveled through his scales, a portion even penetrating through them and entering his body.

"Khh…!" Damien breathed. In this battle, he'd eaten the first loss. It wasn't a matter of arrogance, nor was it a matter of power. Damien surely had far more raw power than Sylvius.

But his raw power couldn't show its true worth against the density of his opponent's law comprehension. This only went to show how important comprehension was in 4th class when compared to its predecessors.

Still, Damien was unfazed. When it came to cards, he had more than just a few. He wouldn't go down with only this much.

He circulated his mana rapidly, mimicking the way he controlled Void Essence in the past. As he did so, he found something strange.

The lighting in his body was formed from mana and law comprehension. But as Damien's Void Mana came into contact with it, a strange thing occurred.

Damien's eyes widened in shock and anticipation. His thoughts raced as he realized what was happening.

'Don't tell me…Void Mana has the power to suppress laws…?'

It wasn't too clear at the moment since he'd only just ascended, but if his observation was true, he'd become an unstoppable powerhouse in the future!

And when looking at the current fight…his chances of rapidly defeating his enemy had just increased exponentially.
