Rise of The Anti God

'Haa...this route is taking way longer than I expected.' Damien sighed with impatience.

A day had already passed and the group of four had already covered 150 km into the forest where Earth Ethereal Realm beasts resided. The Dark Forest was almost 700 km long and 430 km wide.

Damien didn't expect that the trio would be very careful in picking their route by choosing a longer route which wouldn't lead them to dangerous Sky Ethereal Realm beasts; not that he complained since he also didn't want to get killed because of any slight negligence from the trio.

The group quickly passed through the regions where Spirit Ethereal Realm beasts resided but they slowed down when they entered the region where Earth Ethereal Realm beasts roamed about.

If their destination was anywhere but the Wailing Woodland region, then they could have even circled the perimeter of the Dark Forest more than a dozen times within a day.

But he knew that the deeper they go into the Dark Forest, the longer it would take to close the distance towards the Wailing Woodland. Since, as they travel towards the innermost regions, the more powerful the ethereal beasts would be.

The Wailing Woodland region was still 50 km away since its area was only one-fourteenth of the Dark Forest's area. It was located in the middle of the Dark Forest and was almost a square region with the length and width of the region being around 150 km.

Though it only took a small area of the Dark Forest, it was an infamous region where very few Sky Ethereal Realm beasts are rumored to have marked their territory.

Damien's eye's gleamed whenever the trio killed an Earth Ethereal Realm beast in their way. They couldn't notice that Damien's soul energy was being depleted at a rapid rate nor did they care to notice some of the dead bodies of the ethereal beasts disappearing after a while.

After all, they weren't interested in collecting the corpses of ethereal beasts below the Peak Level of the Earth Ethereal Realm.

Damien saw how Marcus was leading the group while the couple would exchange some sweet moments wherever they are in a safe area. But he noticed how Marcus' eyes slightly twitched whenever he stole a glance at the couple.

'So that's how it is heh. No matter which world, beauties will always attract rats.' Damien seemed to have realized what was going on in Marcus' mind. But he decided not to pay it any mind until things start to unfold.

But seeing the couple reminded him of some memories with Sofie and how he did those same things with her. However, Lily's face suddenly flashed in his mind.

'Am I really…' Complex emotions brewed in his mind thinking about Lily.

The group was now taking a break near a stream where they refreshed themselves by splashing the cool water on their faces while passively absorbing the ethereal energy from the air and rejuvenating themselves.

Damien was simply resting against a big tree but behind the mist, his face already looked pale while feeling light drowsiness.

He wanted this whole trip to end as fast as possible but knew he couldn't rush up things.

However, he could hear the conversation going on between the couple while Marcus looked like a third wheel with a smiling face.

"Leo, when are you going to marry me? It's been more than a dozen years since we got together. Why are you hesitating to meet my parents?"

"Emily, you know it's not because I don't want to. But your father hates me. He thinks I am the reason you refused those reputed and lofty posts the Imperial Ethereal Court offered you, to go around adventuring with me."

'What the heck…'

Damien was a bit surprised seeing Marcus charge alone while two of his teammates were staying back as if waiting for something.
