Rise of The Anti God

Chapter 529 - A Body Of Steel?

Being called "ladies", that too in a strange tone, made Luna harrumph since it seemed as if this guy just grew another backbone to even address her in a casual tone.

Kalypso also felt that the current Damien just seemed a bit too different, especially even his voice that seemed to carry some kind of fatal charm though she couldn't put her finger on it.

Luna knew that these changes were not only caused by Yohr's Origin Seed alone but effects that were modified and augmented by Anti-God's Origin Seed as well. 

Damien then looked at his own body and was astonished by the significant changes that took place throughout his body, especially his muscles and height that was way taller than before.

He literally felt as if he shed his old body and got a new one, but he was even more shocked at the drastic changes of the energy inside his ethereal core and the comprehension of the Ethereal Way he had gained.

He suddenly closed his eyes and felt a faint yet profound force between every single object…every single particle around him, even between him and the particles around him. It was a feeling he felt familiar with but only now was he able to feel it again.

Damien mused as he subtly decided to tinker around with this force, and before he knew it, his legs had slowly left the ground, his body moving up into the air as if levitating.

"Whoa…I can fly for real now," Damien happily chuckled as he looked down to see that his feet had left the ground and knew that the only reason he could fly now was that he had broken through to the First Level of the Sky Ethereal Realm!

"How do you feel, Master?" Kalypso excitedly asked, seeing her Master's happiness even though she already knew the answer.

"I feel great! In fact, I feel like my body packs too much power now," Damien mused as he could feel the explosive power coursing through his body, making him feel like he could even pulverize ethereal energy-infused iron walls with ease.

"That is because your body indeed is way more powerful than before. Why don't you try taking a Sky Ethereal Grade sword and stab yourself wherever you want?" Luna asked with a smirk.

If it were before, Kalypso would have shouted at Luna, asking if she was trying to have her Master kill himself. But now, she was strangely remaining silent and instead was encouraging Damien to try that out by nodding at him.

"What? Are you serious? Even if I had a big breakthrough, I am still at the First Level of the Sky Ethereal Realm. Using my Knightfall sword, I would just be injuring myself. Do you want to test whether I got Yohr's healing ability?" Damien asked in a slightly baffled tone since before Kalypso came along, he had always used his Knightfall sword, which was of Sky Ethereal Grade, to deal tremendous damage to his enemies.

So using that on himself just seemed suicidal though he wasn't that worried, thinking that he inherited Yohr's healing ability. Still, he just wasn't a fan of inflicting pain on himself for no reason.

"Stop talking and just do it. Or I am going to stab you. Which one do you want?" Luna asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Alright! I will do it, jeez…" Damien shook his head as he took out his Knightfall sword and wondered if Luna wanted to mess with him because she was still pissed off because of stealing a kiss from her untouched lips.

Still, he obviously didn't want to stab at his vital spot and decided to simply try and do a slash on his forearm. 

"Don't hold back. Use all your ethereal energy power. No need to use your Anti-God Arts for now," Luna said as she looked on with crossed arms.

"Fine. Here goes nothing…" Damien circulated all his ethereal energy towards his arm as he made a slashing motion at his forearm.

*Thak!*

"What the…" Damien was shocked when he heard a dull sound echo from the strike. It was as if his steel sword struck against a sturdy pillar of iron, and there was not even a scratch on his arm!

"This…This is not a dream, right…" Damien asked in a dazed tone as he briefly looked at the two girls before him. Luna was looking at him with an amused smile while Kalypso was softly nodding, feeling happy to see how strong her Master's body had become.

Damien was surprised since this meant that nobody at his level could hurt him even if he simply stood before them without attacking. Even if a dozen cultivators at the First Level of Sky Ethereal Realm were to attack him, his body would still remain unfazed. 

"Now try doing the same thing while using your Anti-God Arts. Let's not hold back at that too. So you should directly try the second phase of your Undying Wrath. Now that you are in the Sky Ethereal Realm, it should not be too taxing for you to use it for a few seconds, especially when your body has gotten stronger as well," Luna wanted Damien to test for himself and see how much his body had evolved literally.

Even though using his Undying Wrath would mean a drastic increase in his attack power, especially the second phase, Damien felt more optimistic this time as he activated his Undying Wrath ability, making his aura surge forth like a raging volcano, even twisting the air around him because of his aura.

"Ah…" Kalypso smiled in awe to see how strong Damien's aura was now since even if the aura seemed similar to that of a Sky Ethereal Realm cultivator, its pressure was equivalent to a cultivator at the First Level of the Heaven Ethereal Realm!

Damien raised his sword and struck at his forearm with all his strength but…

*THAK!*

The same sound but more loud echoed in the cave, though Damien's eyes widened when he saw that his fully powered attack had only left behind a faint red line on his forearm!
