Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

Since the other experts were severely injured and scattered, Ruthren was alone, and these three just wanted to get rid of the biggest threat if possible. If they were able to do that, then they would definitely have a future and not lose any more of their people to this war.

Ruthren's expression twisted in contempt and anger as he scoffed, "Cowards! There is no way this emperor will go down because of you three!" Ruthren roared as he put up both his hands to create a water curtain infused with ethereal energy that seemed as strong as iron in front of him.

All three of their attacks struck the curtain of ethereal water as it almost gave way to the combined attacks of the three. However, Ruthren was putting his all in to prevent his water curtain from collapsing, but he also knew that simply defending like this was not a good idea.

And so he decided to target the weakest among them first which was the shorter man.

*Roar!!!*

With a heavy resonating roar, a huge ethereal water dragon manifested in the air from Ruthren's body as it used its long thick tail to swat that man.

"Ugh!" The man groaned as he was sent flying by dozens of meters, though he was still alive. The other two decided to take down Ruthren's ethereal manifestation since they knew that once it went down, Ruthren would be more powerless than ever.

However, Irene and the other cloaked man didn't use their ethereal manifestations but were only using their ethereal arts to fight back Ruthren.

With each exchange of attacks, powerful shockwaves of ethereal energy were even pulverizing the buildings below, and by now, those who managed to stay alive had evacuated the region and could even see the most shaking battle they had ever seen high up in the skies.

Not even the experts in the Heaven Ethereal Realm dared to come close to the three since this wasn't a battle they could just partake in.

All they could do was wait for the Profound Ethereal Realm experts to get here. Even though the emperors had arrived for the Rising Sun Convention, they had stationed their most powerful experts back at their homes since it was prudent to have them keep an eye on the empire while the emperors were out of town.

And thus, in a situation like this, it was hard to rally all the Profound Ethereal Realm experts from these empires. After all, if they leave as well, then their empires would be very vulnerable, and nobody knows if their enemies might take advantage of this opportunity.

So the best they could do was send one or two at most who were already on their way to join Ruthren.

However, it was already astonishing that Ruthren was able to hold off all three at the same time by using their ethereal manifestation, and those who were seeing him from afar felt a sense of awe seeing the strongest emperor in action.

They were reminded once again why this man was at the top.

But they had no idea that the Xeton Emperor's face had become a bit pale since his ethereal manifestation was taking a toll on him, but it was able to successfully keep away the three from dealing any serious damage to him.

Instead, the water beams from the ethereal dragon's mouth almost injured Irene's arm before she got saved by the tall, mysterious expert.

Ruthren saw how this man didn't hesitate at all to save Irene, but at the same time, the way they were interacting with each other didn't seem like a soldier and their leader. This only further confused him.

"Ruthren, stalling for backup doesn't mean this is the end," The tall cloaked man said in a cutting tone as he skillfully maneuvered in the air to avoid the lashes of Ruthren's ethereal dragon.

"Where is Damien?!" Suddenly a man's roar resounded from the side as everyone saw the Gale Emperor flying towards them at an astounding speed, ready to help Ruthren take on these three.

Ruthren was able to relax a bit since the Gale Emperor was diverting their attention, but the three of them anticipated this and quickly reacted by locking horns with the Gale Emperor.

The Gale Emperor had flown in by throwing his attack at the three in the form of a hundred wind blades that cut across the air to slice all three of them. If it was even someone at the First Level of the Profound Ethereal Realm facing this attack from the Gale Emperor, they wouldn't survive without losing a limb or two.

But the three Forsaken members quickly put up a combined defensive barrier that easily diffused away all the ethereal wind blades, making the Gale Emperor's expression sour since he realized that one of these masked fuckers was actually stronger than him!

Otherwise, there was no way all his wind blades would casually get shrugged off like that.

All this time, he thought only the Xeton Emperor was above him while the Lancaster Emperor was almost as strong as him. But seeing how the Forsaken suddenly gained such a powerful, mysterious expert made him feel a grave sense of danger. Damien's cultivation level was something he wouldn't even glance at twice, but he was already monstrously powerful enough to almost destroy his face. And if these three were to help Damien grow a bit more, then things surely won't end well for him.

The Gale Emperor let out his own ethereal manifestation as well, which was a large bird made of pure ethereal wind, and once it completely formed, it looked like a ferocious roc that was ready to tear its enemies to pieces with his sharp beak and claws.

The ethereal water dragon, along with the ethereal wind roc, swooped down on the three Forsaken members who looked tiny before them, making others wonder if this was the end for the Forsaken?
