Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

"What kind of atrocity happened here?!" The three elders were shocked when they saw the state the whole inside of the inn was in, especially a large hole in the roof.

There was blood strewn about and two bodies lying unconsciously in a pool of their own blood. If it were not for their senses, they would have believed that those two were dead.

They even rushed past Valentina since they never ever put a commoner-looking girl in their eyes at all. They were more concerned with what happened here and who dared to hurt their young masters.

They weren't concerned about the two bloodied bodies since they came here for the Marlowe Brothers.

However, seeing the disheveled appearance of the Marlowe Brothers, their veins pulsated in anger.

"Who did all this, young masters?" One of the elders respectfully asked as he held in his anger.

Noel readily pointed towards their behind and said, "You missed her. That peasant girl was the one who did this. She was going to kill these two too! Thankfully, we tried to stop her from buying time for you three to come here."

Reve added, "She started all this by staying in our rightful room. When we asked her to leave, she stubbornly refused and picked a fight with us. Look, she didn't even spare the young misses. Elders, she is a very crazy woman. You have to put her down and make sure she receives heavy punishment for her offenses."

The three elders finally turned around to look at the "commoner girl" they had walked past before and noticed how there were indeed bloodstains on her clothes.

But seeing her fearless stare, they felt as if she indeed was really crazy since considering the power difference between them, if it were any other person with the same cultivation in her shoes, they surely wouldn't have the guts to stare them down.

However, they were surprised how this commoner girl was able to trash two of the top ten geniuses with her fourth-level Earth Ethereal Realm cultivation. It was simply absurd.

So one of them asked the Marlowe Brothers again, "Young masters, are you sure she is the one who did all this? Unless the two stood still, she wouldn't have a chance to defeat them with her cultivation?"

The Marlowe Brothers showed a confused expression before they said vehemently, "Elders, please don't get fooled. Her true cultivation is not what it seems. Her identity may not be simple as a commoner girl too. She thrashed and bullied our two friends all on our own, and we were completely helpless to stop her. She must be some criminal disguised as a commoner. We have to definitely capture her and make sure she receives capital punishment as well."

Now it was the elders who were confused since they had repeatedly swept their senses over Valentina to make sure that her cultivation was indeed in the Earth Ethereal Realm.

Valentina was getting irked by them using their senses to probe her.

"Use your senses to inspect my cultivation one more time, and I will make sure your eyes are taken as a punishment. Do you three dare to offend His Highness, the second prince? If you wish to put your young masters in further danger, then continue what you all were doing," Valentina said with a cold smirk.

The elders stopped probing the moment they heard her mentioning Tristen Gale since no matter what, if they heard the name of a direct imperial member, then they would have to tread carefully.

"Elders, don't get fooled. She is lying to save her own skin. She claims to be the Will Protector of His Highness, which is totally absurd when she doesn't even have identity proof of being one," Noel shouted, seeing how the elders were hesitating.

The three elders relaxed, thinking why they even hesitated just because of the words that came out from a commoner.

One of the elders said in a severe tone, "Girl, you have gone too far. You not only brutally injured two respected young practitioners and tried to injure our young masters but also committed the offense of using the name of His Highness to spout lies."

"All these offenses are enough to put you behind bars for the rest of your life, at least. But we will send you to the Disciplinary Officers after we cripple your cultivation," Another elder added as he walked forward to cripple her.

"You will do no such thing!" A stern sound of a young man sounded from behind.

Upon hearing that voice, all three elders stood frozen on their spots, and when the young man entered the inn, their jaws almost dropped, not believing who they were seeing.

Even the Marlowe Brothers wondered if this was a bad dream or not by pinching themselves.

Because not only did the second prince of the Gale Empire, Tristen Gale, make an appearance but many fully armored men followed behind the prince.

They recognized these men as soldiers of the Crimson Corp!

The Crimson Corp were part of the imperial army, and their squad was the most powerful among the imperial army, which meant that even their weakest soldier would be at the Sky Ethereal Realm and their generals at least at the Heaven Ethereal Realm.

And right now before them, over twenty Crimson Corp soldiers surrounded them in a circular fashion, and even their general, a middle-aged man dressed in crimson armor, accompanied them.

"Your Highness!" Valentina excitedly cried out as she rushed towards Damien, who was in Tristen's body, and said with a respectable bow, "Your Highness, all these people wouldn't listen to me when I mentioned your name, and apparently, they don't think your name is worthy enough to show you face. Their rebellious actions call for some imperial punishment, isn't that right, Your Highness?"

Damien looked at Valentina, who appeared and talked as if she was a devout and loyal protector of the second prince and cared about his image as well.

The Marlowe Brothers and the three elders panicked when Valentina mentioned "imperial punishment" since they knew such a punishment surely wouldn't end with them only, but even their families would suffer huge losses, especially if the punishment was related to offending a prince like Tristen.

No matter how shocking or astonishing it was, the three elders quickly read the situation and understood who Valentina was, seeing how the second prince was paying her a lot of attention and seemed to value her words.

This only made them panic even more inwardly and also because of the auras exerted by the Crimson Corp soldiers and the stern gaze from their general.

The three elders surely weren't as strong as the general and could only cower under his aura that was hardened after countless battles.

"Y-Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding. We absolutely didn't know she was your Will Protector. We only came here to protect our young masters after hearing that a commotion was taking place. We were investigating when your esteemed self came in," One of the elders said as he subtly wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Lies!" Valentina shouted with narrowed eyes and said as she looked at Damien, "Your Highness, I mentioned your name countless times, but they said that you can go to hell!"

The elders had their eyes almost bulge out, seeing the nonsense Valentina was spouting. But they could neither call out in indignation since they can't speak unless allowed to, especially in the presence of the second prince.

But seeing the frown on Tristen's face and how he was looking at them with an ill gaze, they felt as if they were done for and could only pray that he turns a deaf ear to whatever Valentina was saying.

"General Vilmer, make sure these three elders don't move a muscle to use any talismans or anything. If they try to disobey, add charges of disobeying imperial orders to their offenses," Damien said in a stern voice.

The elders gulped and wondered why the prince had to say this right when they were about to inform their patriarch. But feeling General Vilmer's aura sweeping over them, they stood still like scared chickens, not daring to move a muscle just like what the prince said.

Valentina continued as if she was passionately reporting the offenses these people had committed against her master, "And not only that, those two brothers and the other two from the Soaring Sky rankings were pressurizing the manager to throw your friend and me out unlawfully just because they wanted my room. They paid no regard to my status nor yours and said that the second prince is an overrated good for nothing prince."

"W-Wait what?!" The Marlowe Brothers shouted inwardly, unable to believe how Valentina was lying so blatantly.

"How dare you two! Guards immediately seize them and inform their patriarch to come and see me personally if they ever want to see his sons again! I will make sure they are punished for defaming an imperial prince. In fact, they all should be punished!" Damien said in a commanding tone as he cracked his knuckles in anger.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The guards shouted as they proceeded to arrest the two shocked geniuses.
