Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

"Miss Valentina, what is the plan? Can we come with you?" A girl asked in a low voice while the two boys beside her nodded, supporting her query.

The third boy didn't dare to make a single movement, and one side of his face was so swollen that he looked like a drowned pig with a red palmprint imprinted on his cheek. Blood was leaking from his lips, but he was too shocked and scared to even let out a whimper.

Valentina didn't even turn around, and her eyes were already locked on in a specific direction. She said brusquely, "No. I don't need anyone with me."

"B-But—" The girl wanted to say something but shut her mouth when she saw Valentina's stony glare and seeing the sharp hand scythe on her hand, she gulped.

Despite how beautiful Valentina looked, she seemed like a demoness to these four youngsters. The three of them witnessed how the boy with the swollen face got slapped so hard that they thought thunder struck the ground, which even resounded across the whole area.

Despite seeing the azure token on her neck, the boy dared to make a move on her and ended up inviting Valentina's fury. The boy was at the Spirit Ethereal Realm Level Ten while the other three were at the Nascent Ethereal Realm Level Ten.

Despite such an astounding slap, no one dared to say anything, and even the instructor shrugged it off with a light warning. After that incident, those who had any plans of approaching Valentina immediately threw those plans down the drain.

*DING*

Just as the bell resounded, Valentina became invisible!

"What the...how...where is she??" The four were confused about how she suddenly disappeared or where she went.

"Did she get teleported out?"

"No way. Why would they do that?"

"Probably because of the 'slap'?" One of the boys said as he looked at the swollen face of his teammate. Even two or three teeth were missing in his mouth.

"No, that's not it. They would have debarred her before, and they wouldn't do it anyway to such an important candidate. Or were you too blind enough to not see her flaunting off her azure token?"

"Guys! This is not the time to discuss these things! The match has already started!"

The audience was now wholly focusing on Team 1 and Team 10's match, especially when two interesting candidates popped out from both teams. One had a legendary Lightning seed, while the other was very talented and had bizarre abilities like going invisible out of nowhere.

Even the instructors assigned to proctor different matches couldn't help but look time and time again towards the screen on which Damien's match was being projected.

'Wew, first flag, done!' Damien had captured the closest flag to his team's starting position. He had reached before Cedric and the girls because of his lightning speed, nor did he meet anyone from the rival team. He knew Cedric must have planned to take this flag first.

He checked Cedric's location and found out that he had already changed his direction towards the second flag as he had already captured the first one.

'I guess I should go for the farthest flag now.' Damien thought that he would go and give backup to Fynn just in case.

However, as he was going on his way, he got an alert from his wristband that the rival team had already taken the second flag! His team was too late.

'Only one person? Earth Ethereal Realm Level One??' Damien hoped that the person wasn't who he thought it was and speeded off towards the person who captured the second flag.

He noticed that Cedric and the girls were already following the one carrying the second flag. It seemed like they all were heading towards the third flag and about to clash with Fynn's path.

Fynn's speed was slower, so the rest of his teammates were catching up with him.

*PING*

'Damn, they even got the third flag?' Damien saw that even the third flag was captured by the rival team and was trying to regroup with their lone teammate.

'Hmm?' Damien noticed two silhouettes rushing towards his position, and he instantly knew that those two were from the rival team who were planning to capture the first flag.

However, he wasn't worried as the two boys coming towards him were only at the Nascent Ethereal Realm Level Ten.

Damien didn't bother to stop…

*SWOOOSH*

"Huh? What just happened?" The two boys were confused as they suddenly felt something touching their wrists and a sudden gust of wind brushing pasting their bodies.

"My wristband is gone!!" The boys were shocked as they looked at their wrists.

However, before they could think about anything else, they disappeared as they got teleported out.

Damien continued zooming towards the third flag, but he noticed that Cedric and Fynn already met up. Strangely, they seemed to have stopped moving and were still in the same position.

He also saw that all three members of the rival team were already moving towards Cedric's location.

'Shit. What the hell are those three doing?' Damien felt that something was going on, and he knew it wouldn't be long before they face off against the rival team.

The rival team now had two flags, while Damien's had only one.

Soon enough, Damien reached Fynn's location, and his brows knit together when he saw that Fynn was lying on the ground bruised and battered with Cedric stepping on his face.

"You fucking Zirian dog. We lost the second flag all because of you! Who told you to go for the third flag?? Are you trying to bring me down as well?" Cedric was maddened that he couldn't run off with the second flag before and hide till the time runs out.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to face off against an Earth Ethereal Realm practitioner with his unstable cultivation base, nor was he skillful enough to even hold up against one.

He also saw that the rival team had someone at the Spirit Ethereal Realm Level Ten. He wasn't brave enough to face those two from the rival team on his own. He speculated that they would lose now as the rival team will easily overpower Damien and snatch their only flag.

Fynn cried out in pain, "I am sorry, i-it wasn't my fault. They were too fast!"

"Shut up you—" But before Cedric could finish his sentence, he felt a suffocating gust of wind descending on him.

*BAM!*

A loud sound of a punch resounded as if a meat bag got heavily hit. The skin on Cedric's face vibrated and rippled as Damien suddenly landed a speeding punch on his face.

Cedric didn't even see it coming as Damien used his top speed to land a quick punch on him.

"Aaaaahhhh…"

Cedric flew a few dozen meters away with blood spurting from his mouth. The two girls were shocked when they saw Damien coming out of nowhere suddenly and thrashing Cedric.

They didn't sense him in the slightest and wondered how he even caught up to them so fast with just his inferior cultivation.

"Are you okay, dude?" Damien gave Fynn a hand, who was lying on the ground with a stunned look on his face.

With an unfocused gaze, he stood up with Damien's support.

"Brother Damien, you...you just…" Fynn rootlessly pointed towards Cedric, who was lying on the ground, groaning with pain. He felt like hitting himself on the head to make sure what he just saw wasn't his imagination.

A Nascent Ethereal Realm practitioner thrashing a Peak Level Spirit Ethereal Realm was not something he could imagine even in his dreams.

It was true that Damien got Cedric off guard, but still, he was able to throw him off and stun him with such a punch.

*THUD*

However, before Fynn could think about anything else, he saw the two girls behind Damien suddenly falling on the ground and getting teleported.

Damien frowned and turned around, 'They got eliminated?'

But he couldn't see anyone and wondered how two of his teammates suddenly got eliminated.

"Brother Damien!"

Damien turned around and saw that even Fynn got teleported away. Cedric was teleported as well.

"What the hell?" Damien was perplexed at what was going on. All of a sudden, he was the last man standing.

But suddenly, a bloody silhouette took form, and a rosy pink-haired girl came into Damien's sight. Damien's brows raised as the only thing he wished to not happen came true,

'Valentina?'
