Chapter 614 You Won't Escape This Time!
Ruthren's attack was a direct hit on Damien's figure but to everyone's shock, what they saw blew their minds.
The moment the water tendrils of Ruthren struck Damien, his figure immediately became an ice sculpture along with Lily and Yuria's figure.
And an even more shocking part was that the next moment all three of them burst into tiny icy particles, leaving just a faint mist of ice behind, making everyone look at that spot with their eyes popping out.
Did all three of them really die? Was the hooded guy really serious about killing himself along with even the two innocent beauties? How mad should a person be to do that?
However, even if most of them couldn't help come to this conclusion, some of the experts felt that something felt off.
"YURIA!!" The Krisen King cried out at the top of his voice as he rushed forward, but then Ruthren stopped him as he said with a fixed gaze, "They are not dead. It was just some trick. He must be already fleeing by now with those two. Everyone, chase him down! It is Damien, the criminal we all have been hunting for!"
Ruthren immediately shot out into the sky, leaving behind powerful ripples of ethereal energy as he flew at a staggering speed.
Upon hearing the name 'Damien', immediately multiple experts from the hall, mainly from the Xeton Empire, took to the skies to follow Ruthren while the others were still feeling confused and disoriented, wondering what was going on.
As for those who lost their scions due to the Gale Emperor's unrestrained anger, they couldn't be least bothered to think about Damien but instead what they lost today.
Today was supposed to be an auspicious day for both their families and their scions, but now it has become a nightmare.
People were so busy trying to process what was going on they even forgot about the recently dead heavenly genius named Godnim, who died the moment he shone.
As for those girls who fell in love with Godnim, at first sight, was now hating Damien to the bones for killing an innocent handsome scholar just like that.
However, based on the number of experts who flew out to chase Damien, it really seemed less for an enemy of the world like Damien.
If Damien had never carried out such an act of humiliating the two rulers but only simply showed his face, then the number of people chasing him right now would at least be a larger majority of people standing in this hall.
Even the ones who really had no business with Damien would be going after now.
But now, only a minority of them flew out while the rest of the people were still in the Great Hall.
After realizing that Damien had really escaped while taking away the two girls, they couldn't help but think about the things he said, including how he exposed the misdeeds of both the Rong Empress and the Gale Emperor.
They personally saw how agitated the Gale Emperor was to the point he killed some of his own people, even if it was by accident.
Damien also even called out the Xeton Emperor and told him that his judgment day was coming. Doesn't it also mean that the Xeton Emperor was also involved in some deep shady things since whatever Damien said about the other two was right?
Even if Damien was a terrorist working for a terrorist organization, why would he take the risk to expose such things? Did he want the world to learn the truth? Was there some other meaning behind the Forsaken wanting to bring down the Xeton Empire?
But one more shocking thing they realized was how an eighteen-year-old junior was able to stand up to these frightening powerhouses and even escape without getting killed? They were sure that Damien wouldn't be stronger than someone at the Sky Ethereal Realm, and that itself was their most generous expectation since no eighteen-year-old in their continent reached the Sky Ethereal Realm.
They hadn't even heard of his name two years ago, and within just two years, how did he quickly grow up to the point the entire continent was focusing on him? This was something not even the Xeton Emperor had experienced.
Meanwhile, on the outside, Damien had removed his hood while flying through the skies while leaving behind jet black traces of lightning streaks.josei
It seemed no different than a lightning bolt speeding through the skies when looked at from below.
And in both his arms were Lily and Yuria, who were tightly clinging onto Damien, looking at him with besotted smiles. However, Yuria quickly knocked herself out to keep up appearances.
Yuria already knew some things beforehand, unlike Lily, who still had a look of astonishment and happiness on her face, wondering if she was dreaming upon seeing his dazzling and cool face so close by.
She had dreamed of how his appearance might change slightly within these two years and had dreamed of various scenarios where she would meet him again. But she never thought that he would be even more handsome and powerful than she expected but also the fact that she would literally run off with him.
This was no different than eloping with him and something she thought could only happen in dreams since, as the princess of her empire she did not have such luxury.
Feeling his familiar warmth and his aura, which seemed even more profound and cool, she couldn't help but feel as if sticking to his side like this forever.
"Damien, you won't escape this time!"
However, she came out of her reverie the moment she heard the voice of a ruthless and cold man filled with killing intent, making her knit her brows in worry, wondering how Damien was going to deal with him.
Who could this voice belong to other than Ruthren, who was chasing Damien without holding back, and even if it was slow, he was gradually closing the distance between him and Damien.
"Damien! He is coming right at us!" Lily said worriedly, warning him just in case he was distracted.
