Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter



BANG!

"ACK!" Fiain's leg bent after taking that strike, and her feet dug deep into the floor. The floor under her feet cracked open, starting to cave in.

Fiain glanced up to see if Ahat was having any trouble overpowering her. But to her dismay, she could only see calm and cold eyes; that wasn't her in his eyes.

'How…can this be?' Fiain gritted her teeth, struggling to stop the strike. Her arms began to shake, letting others know she was failing. 'How can he have this much power in such a short amount of time?'

When the goddess's presence entered the hall, no one was able to hear her voice, except Ahat himself. So, they weren't sure who the person was who granted Ahat this much power.

But, connecting the words Ahat said, Fiain was able to make an assumption about who it might be. 'Is it the goddess? If it is, then everything makes sense.'

However, finding out the truth only made her fall into far greater despair. Because who was she to go against the power of divine beings?

Meanwhile, Ravenna was healing Ragnar as fast as possible. She could see the struggle, and as a bystander, she knew Ahat was toying with her. 'Hold on, Fiain. I am coming.'

But it was too late, because cracks started to appear on Fiain's sword. 'No, I have to do something else.'

Racking her brain up, she thought of a crazy idea when she stared into Ahat's eyes. 

At that moment, Fiain let go of her sword. Before Ahat's sword fell on her body, she moved forward and aimed her sharp nails at Ahat's eyes. " [ Gale Thrusts ] "

Ahat's eyes widened a little, surprised by Fiain's conviction to go down with him, injuring him badly. 

Thud

Catching Fiain's wrists with his left hand, Ahat glared at Fiain's eyes silently. After pondering for a bit, he came to a decision. 

Bam

Ahat smashed Fiain's body to the floor as if he were beating a wet cloth against a wall. 

Bam Bam Bam

After several times smashing her body, Ahat raised her, putting her gaze on the same level as his. He saw Fiain's face for the first time after the mask broke from hitting the floor. Her eyes were closed, and she was getting unconscious to start saving energy to repair her body. 

Thud

Flinging her to his side, Ahat looked at Ravenna, who was staring back at him with fear and anger. 

"You also have that will to go against your fate. To defeat your feared enemy." Ahat's tone turned hoarse. "I hate that to my very core. I do not want to see demons, who are cunning and vile creatures, have that belief. That is only reserved for us, humans. So, I have decided not to kill you."

Ahat walked forward while glaring at Ravenna. "I will capture you and tie you down before the demon races. Then I will sever your heads with that unwavering will of yours. To let those demons know that no matter how strong your convictions may be, all will come in vain going against us."

"Shut up!" Ravenna yelled in rage, thinking of the scenario Ahat just described in her mind. Instantly, blood from the battlefield flows out, galloping toward Ahat. 

Ahat saw a sea of blood coming toward him, making him evaluate Ravenna's strength once again. 

Before arriving close to Ahat, they turned into sharp swords. However, that still didn't faze Ahat. 

Ahat mocked Ravenna. "You think you can defeat with overwhelming numbers?"

Ahat raised his sword up a bit before inserting it into the ground. "Rise."

The ground rumbled, and high, rising walls rose up, blocking Ravenna's attack from reaching her.

"Let me show you what true strength is." Ahat ran around the giant wall and came close to Ravenna in a matter of seconds. 

Ravenna swiped her hands, conjuring a wall of blood. 

However, to Ahat, that wall was nonexistent. He swung his sword, making the wall burst open and having the blood splatter all over the place.

Phruch!

Ahat's sword hit Ravenna's waist. But she quickly used her own blood to block it from leaving her with a grave injury. 

Ravenna's eyes widened as Ahat's sword seemed to bypass her guard without much effort. One has to know Ravenna's blood was very potent, and when she used it with her own mana, its effectiveness would be tenfold.  I think you should take a look at

Still, Ravenna didn't give up, she used the fraction of time her guard was able to stop the strike and used her hand to block further force. She knew that still wouldn't be enough, so she used that as a catalyst and flung herself away while taking Ragnar with her blood rope.

But she wasn't able to stand her ground when a towering shadow cast itself on her. She looked up with horrified eyes, just to see Ahat glaring down at her.

Bam!

Ahat kicked at Ravenna's waist once again, sending her flying away and eventually crashing into a wall.

From that kick, Ravenna felt her bones break and her intestines churn. But these types of injuries meant nothing to her. 

'However, why is it taking so long to heal?' To answer the confusion, she looked inside her body and found out the answer. 'What is this energy? I can't remove a small part without using my entire energy.'

Ravenna saw white balls with green cores in them that glowed softly roaming around her body. It was right to not know about this, as this was much higher energy.

It was called divinity. Only gods and their chosen ones could use this power. The ones Ahat was using are only the smallest fraction of the Goddess of Nature's power. 

However, she knew one thing for sure, and it was that Ragnar and Fiain lost so fast despite having great healing abilities because of these.

Ravenna tried to get out of the way while warning herself. 'I have to not get hi-'

She wasn't able to finish her thought process when Ahat's giant hand grabbed her face and smashed her against the wall, making it collapse.

"Were you scared? Come tell me!" Ahat used as much force as possible to smash Ravenna on the ground.

BANG!

The ground cracked and had fissures after Ravenna's body smashed against it. But because of the force Ahat used, Ravenna's body didn't get stuck in the ground; instead, she bounced out like a ball.

Bam

Then it was continued by a punch in the face, making her fly away and smash against a pillar this time. Her body penetrated through it, resulting in the pillar being destroyed.

Ahat didn't chase behind her but mocked her, standing in his place. "Oh, you can still move after those hits. Your healing capability is quite remarkable."

Ravenna's distorted face was mended to its original shape and appearance with the help of her Medical Blood Art Technique. Not only her face, but the injuries on her body started to heal. 

Step Step

Ahat walked slowly, having the time of his life toying with demons who had high-ranking bloodlines. This was enough for him to be promoted to Paladin Lieutenant or even Paladin Commander if the headquarters were generous. "Yes, heal yourself properly. I want to see how long you can go on."

While all of this was happening, Ragnar was watching it with his eyes half-closed . He wanted to go help Ravenna, but he couldn't. His body had stopped healing itself because the divine energy was still occupying his body. He was only able to even breathe properly because of the treatment Ravenna gave him while Fiain was stalling for time.

Ragnar whispered to himself while seeing Ravenna get brutally beaten down. "Stand."

Bam!

Ahat's violent beating flashed before his eyes. "Please, stand up."

Bam Bang!

"Why are you not listening?" Slight tears started coming out of Ragnar's eyes. "I always get held  down, only to be rescued by the Lord."

Ragnar remembered when Benimaru came to save him when the Swinefiends were abusing him and were about to kill him. He also remembered when he couldn't save Ravenna from Garner. The same thing happened once again, and he was left feeling powerless.

Bam

Ravenna's breathing was getting chaotic as she was running out of energy to keep healing herself. She could lose consciousness at any moment, but she was still holding on because of her strong will.

"If only I was strong as the lord…if only..." While speaking those words, something popped into his head. 

He remembered that he always felt a strong energy hidden in his heart, which would help him every time he cultivated, helping him strengthen his vital core. When he asked Benimaru about it, he told him that it was his blood essence in its most condensed form. Then, when he asked what it was used for, he answered with a smirk.

"This is one of the most valuable treasures in the world."

Remembering all of this, a crazy idea formed in his mind. 'If I use this all up, what kind of power will it grant me?'
