Rise of The Anti God

Seeing his warm smile and his confidence, Lily's heart throbbed. She still couldn't understand from where he was getting his confidence from. She thought that maybe he was planning to join the Alchemist Society and gain some influence. Even then, that didn't seem like a solution to her. But for some reason she felt that his words made him sound dependable.

Before Lily could say something, Damien patted her shoulders and said, "Don't think about any needless things now. I will see you tomorrow, my disciple."

Damien scuttled off since he knew if he stayed any longer, Lily would try to nag him out of whatever he was planning to do.

"Damien…." Lily held out her hand but didn't stop him. As she saw his silhouette getting farther away, her heart felt restless and hoped that Damien's doesn't get any crazy ideas to help her.

'How did this all go wrong….' Lily sighed inwardly.

Damien's room,

"Luna, you must have known about her special constitution right?" Damien questioned.

"Of course, I knew." Her melodious voice sounded in his mind.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Damien questioned.

Luna appeared and scoffed, "Why should I tell you about unnecessary stuff that doesn't concern you? Besides she does not have a Tri-Elemental or whatever these idiots named it." Luna scoffed.

"What??Then what exactly is it?" Damien was surprised when Luna said that her constitution isn't what it seemed. But he would believe Luna's words rather than any mortals.

"She does not have three elemental seeds...but four!"

"What the…." Damien was flabbergasted. Even three was too much for him to digest. But now he heard she has four?? Isn't that too overpowered?

He asked in a curious tone, "Then what is her fourth element?"

Luna smiled and said, "The Light element!"

Damien had a stunned expression, "Light element? She is talented in Greater Laws? Wow...I never expected that. I thought you said it's hard to find one with Greater Laws in this mortal plane?"

Luna sighed, "I know. Even I was surprised to find out that she is an anomaly. Which is exactly why these idiots weren't able to identify her fourth element and instead thought that she only had three. I don't think they even have any knowledge about Greater Laws. You can consider the people in this continent virtually illiterate about these things. Her true constitution is known as the 'Celestial Heart' divine constitution.

Damien's eyes widened, "She has a divine constitution? I guess she truly lives up to her title. Well, isn't the Light element mostly used for healing purposes?"

"Ha, that is its main capability. Just because it's mainly used for purifying or healing purposes, doesn't mean it lacks combat power. If one's comprehension of Light laws are at a certain level, then they can potentially generate light so intensely it can completely obliterate anything in its path. But of course nothing can beat Light Laws when it comes to healing and purification." Luna stated.

Damien was amazed and he was already imagining Lily to be some kind of powerhouse when she matures.

'No wonder these three empires are so hasty in trying to hold that tournament. Even without knowing about her Light element they are so terrified of letting her mature. I wonder if they would die due to shock if they heard about her Light element. No...there would be a bloodbath between the empires!' Damien mused.

"I have decided. I am sneaking out tonight." Damien declared.

"All this zeal for a girl? Are you not forgetting about your own problems? Why do you have to bother about other mortals? Hmph, don't tell me you got seduced by her beauty." Luna mocked.

Damien said in a vexed tone, "Of course not." He paused and continued in a serious tone, "You may not understand how hard it is to have someone who truly cares about you. I have been alone for these past few years. And for some reason when I found out about Lily, I didn't feel like being alone anymore. Also, considering how I am even alive now because of her, the least I can do is help her. She is worth it."

Luna shook her head helplessly. It seemed like she knew where this was going.

'Interesting...well it's good that she is developing feelings for someone like him. At least she will be useful hehe.' Luna giggled inwardly.

For the past whole week, Damien had been busy comprehending his Elysian Lightning Of Retribution and managed to comprehend the first stage completely and the second stage partially.

He found out that if he executed the second stage of Elysian Lightning Of Retribution - Mirage of Myriad Phantasms, he would be able to conceal his ethereal energy aura to a certain extent. The more he could comprehend it, the more he could conceal his aura.

But that was not the best part of the second stage. As a movement skill, it's main speciality was in giving the user an instantaneous burst of speed which he could maintain as long as his ethereal energy reserves allow it.

Luna said that as his cultivation and elemental comprehension increases the more potential he would be able to draw out from these skills. She said if his lightning comprehension and his cultivation can grow to a certain extent, by executing the second stage, he would be able to move so fast that he can even create clone images of his own body!

In other words, he could create mirage or afterimage versions of himself. His enemies wouldn't even be able to find out the difference neither by sight nor by his aura. The clones would be identical to Damien in every sense.

But since the skill depended on his ethereal energy reserves, even though it was not as draining as his Anti-God Arts, it would still be taxing to maintain it for even a short time with his current cultivation.

But Damien was slack-jacked hearing the true potential and power of this skill. If before he had any doubts about his ethereal art being subpar, then now all his doubts had vanished.

'As expected of the ethereal arts that came from a goddess.' That's what Damien thought when he heard of it's prowess.

He couldn't help but imagine how powerful the other stages of his ethereal art would be. Especially the first stage he comprehended.

Luna said that when he executes the first stage, he would be able to manifest a concentrated lightning bolt from his own ethereal energy. Which he could use to strike his enemies and singe them to death.

She said that if he comprehended the first stage to its peak, he could even destroy worlds with a single strike!

But Damien felt his mind getting muddled trying to imagine him doing those feats in that scale. He decided to first focus on at least destroying his enemies first then he can think about destroying planets.

"Where are you planning to go tonight?" Luna was wondering what kind of place he would want to go to in the middle of the night.

"Of course, the Dark Forest. It is said that the border of the forest is ruled by the Grey Wolfs and Brown Claw Wolfs. I want to hone my senses and hunt them in the dark instead of daylight. It's high time I improved my cultivation base. There's not enough time for me to be fooling around. Besides, I have a debt to pay back to those wolves." Damien smirked as his eyes flashed with a wild glint.

Luna sighed, "Well hunting and everything is all good. But don't accidentally hurt yourself in the dark or get caught trying to sneak out!"

Damien said, "Relax. I only have to see to it that I can maintain the second stage till I get outside the palace."

"Hmph. Also, don't you dare try your Anti-God Arts tonight. Stick only to your ethereal arts. I don't want you fainting on your return trip." Luna harrumphed before disappearing into the Shard Of Essence.
