Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

Will Protector?...These two words were like a thunderclap to everyone who heard Valentina including the eight youngsters.

Will Protector was a title assigned to the trusted aides of the direct imperial family, and they enjoyed a status and power only below those of their masters.

These trusted aides were usually very powerful and acted as people who carried out the wills of their masters. An imperial member can have more than one Will Protector, and not everyone would be privy of their identities.

Some imperial members liked to keep the identities of their WIll Protectors a secret or reveal the identity of only one of them for various purposes.

These Will Protectors also acted as bodyguards who would defend their masters in any situation without holding back. No matter the situation, they would not question anything and make sure that the life of their masters was saved.

For instance, one of the Supreme Elders was publicly known to be the Will Protector of the Gale Emperor, and that elder's daughter was the one who got recently married to the first prince.

What was most surprising was that this commoner girl claimed herself to be the Will Protector of Tristen Gale, the second prince of the Gale Empire!

No one had ever heard of a Will Protector who could be so young with nothing special about her to stand out.

On using their spiritual perceptions just to make sure, their lips curved into scornful smiles because they sensed that she was at the fourth level of the Earth Ethereal Realm.

For someone of her age, such a cultivation could be considered very good, but for a Will Protector of such an important figure, she would be nothing more than a joke.

Among the four of them, the weakest was at the seventh level of the Earth Ethereal Realm, while the strongest was at the eighth level of the Earth Ethereal Realm.

So, how could these four not look at Valentina as if she was a fool?

They felt that this commoner girl got scared and was foolishly trying to trick them by borrowing a title with power and status.

Of course, if there was a real Will Protector before them, no matter how much of a genius they are, they still have to show respect and bow; since not bowing would be equivalent to them not bowing before the respective imperial member.

Even the manager standing behind Valentina wondered if she really went bonkers to utter something like that. Not only that, the crime of trying to impersonate a Will Protector is heavily punishable.

"Manager, why are you so useless? Call the guards and throw her out. And also make sure that they hand her over to the Disciplinary Guards for the crime of trying to impersonate a Will Protector and insulting us," Reva said with heated passion.

"Also, book her family for the same charges since who knows, they might be doing the same thing, and this peasant was probably following their example," Noel said with a dark glint in his eyes.

The manager sighed and snapped his fingers together. A moment later, two guards came out with strong auras radiating from their bodies.

With just a glance, Valentina could see that they were at least at the Sky Ethereal Realm, and she could not possibly fight against them. Not with her current form anyway.

So, she said to the manager in a serious tone, "If you really think that I am lying, then go ahead. But what happens after is something you will regret for the rest of your life. Do you really want to offend His Highness, the second prince? Once you do, a quick death would be just a merciful act in his eyes. And even your family might get affected because of your grave crime."

Valentina's words shook up the manager's heart for a moment. He couldn't help but stop his guards to allow him some time to think.

Offending an imperial member, especially a famous prince, was no laughing matter, and he could even end up implicating his family as well, just as Valentina said. Such offenses could even end up with the maximum punishment.

He furrowed his brows and asked, "Where's the proof you being a Will Protector then?" The manager did not believe that this young girl was a Will Protector. Still, he did his duty by asking her for a token or an emblem of any sort that could prove her identity.

Valentina slightly shook her head and said, "I am a recently appointed Will Protector and was on my way to meet His Highness. The young man who came with me is a very good friend of His Highness. But right now, he is not feeling well, and that is why we decided to take a rest here. If you don't believe me, you can ask His Highness himself, and I will take all the blame if I am lying."

The manager felt as if he was in a difficult predicament since even if Valentina's words seemed like utter nonsense, the confidence in her voice and her eyes didn't seem to betray the words she said.

He had been running his business for quite a while and could easily pick up lies from people, let alone a young girl like her.

Valentina could only inwardly pray that Damien wakes up at least by night so that she could convey what happened. Otherwise, even she felt uneasy thinking how long she could drag this out.

Even though she was putting up a brave face outwards, inwardly, she was worried, feeling a bit of panic in her heart, thinking if she was making the right decision. Usually, Damien was there to tell her whether her decisions were right or wrong.

But now, she was temporarily alone in a way with the wellbeing of Damien in her hands. So, every choice she takes could affect Damien as well.

That is why she was trying her best to keep her anger at bay instead of letting her bestial instincts take over.

She only thought what Damien would do in her shoes in a situation like this where using fists only would make things worse.

She then looked at the confused youngsters who were wondering what she said to the manager to make him hesitate.

She said in an arrogant tone while pointing to them, "You four...I challenge you all for a spar! If at least one of you can defeat me, I will leave right now. But if I defeat all four of you, all of you should leave immediately without creating further troubles."

The four geniuses had blinking expressions before their mouths opened to let out a roar of laughter. Even the ones sitting around shook their heads with amused expressions, wondering if the peasant girl wanted to get beaten to death in the hands of these geniuses.

Valentina's brows knit up together and said in an irked tone, "Stop laughing like dogs and come at me if you have the balls. Or does the Soaring Sky list include dogs like you four?"

Valentina's corrosive words made all four geniuses shut their mouths and instead look at her with blackened expressions. It was as if Valentina insulted their ancestors and their future descendants.

"Lowly peasant, you dare!" Reve bellowed.

"Elder brother, let Leva show her rightful place, and then we should cut out her dirty tongue as punishment," Noel said with rage blazing in his eyes.

Leva immediately came out in the front and said with a smirk, "Brothers, let me handle this dirty peasant. I will break her limbs and cripple her before handing her over for further punishment. Let's see if she would dare to call us 'dogs' again."

Khalil commented with a smile, "Well said, Leva. Just finish this with a single blow. We shouldn't let a measly peasant waste our precious time."

The people who were sitting around left their seats quickly and moved back since they didn't want to get caught in the crossfire.

The manager was surprised at the sudden turn of events that he even forgot to tell them to take the fight outside. He was still shocked, wondering why Valentina would challenge all four geniuses with her inferior cultivation.

"Oh? It seems like you want to court death," Leva scoffed. But inwardly, he felt it insulting that a peasant like her wasn't even showing any nervousness or fear on her face. It only made him feel as if she was underestimating him.

He even completely released his aura of sixth-level Earth Ethereal Realm, making those who were weaker feel heavy pressure. However, Valentina still had a flat expression and stood before him as if waiting for him to make his move.

Leva felt incensed and raised his arm to deal a heavy blow to her face. He did not care if she was a woman or not. He wanted to humiliate her by bashing up her face, "Take this, you stinky girl!"

Seeing the fist that was aimed at her face in slow motion, Valentina gritted her teeth as her blood began to lash about violently in her body.
