Chapter 1255 The First Battle

After weighing the options, the Rule Soul Avatar chose to retreat.

"Let's go back to the cave,"

he instructed Jenifer, who had obviously lost her judgment.

By then, she had returned to her senses. Tears welled in her eyes as she thought about what had happened. She was utterly freaked out this time.

"Okay," she replied with a sob.

As the Rule Soul Avatar turned, she took Donovan's hand and marched forward.

It didn't take them long to reach the cave. Once they entered, Jenifer took a deep breath of relief. Almost as soon as she calmed down, fury surged with her.

"What's wrong with the old man? He should go to hell!" she cursed through gritted teeth.

Almost immediately, a black shadow flashed, and the guard in the black robe appeared beside her.

Jenifer was stupefied again.

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean it. I..." she hurried to explain, but the guard raised his hand and gestured her to stop.

"We wanted you to leave a long time ago, but the rules prevented us from forcing you," he explained.

His justification only confused her more.

A few moments ago, this guard had threatened to kill Darren if he dared to escape. But now, it was also he who expressed that he had wanted Darren to leave. It was inexplicable.

Even the Rule Soul Avatar's expression reflected the confusion coursing through him.

Seeing their puzzled expressions, the guard continued, "From the day you arrived, the child's identity as the son of a supreme god has aroused the suspicion of most people. It is not safe for him to stay here any longer.

We need you to take him away. But we cannot permit you to leave in broad daylight. Do you understand what I mean?"

The Rule Soul Avatar's eyes widened with understanding.

The guard had forced them to return to conceal the boy's identity and to trick the public. He must have arranged another passage for the three of them to leave.

"What's your plan?" the Rule Soul Avatar questioned.

"Come with me," instructed the guard. Then with a tearing action, his hands made a space hole in the cave. He cast a backward glance before stepping into the space hole first.

The Rule Soul Avatar followed him unhesitatingly. Jenifer paused. After a moment's contemplation, her grip on Donovan's hand tightened, and then she too stepped forward.

A long time passed and in a deserted mountain, the space suddenly fluctuated.

A crack appeared in the space and a few figures emerged from the crack.

"Have we reached? What is this place?"

Jenifer exclaimed as she swept her gaze around this unfamiliar scene.

"We're one thousand and five hundre

one million pounds, materialized in his hands.

Wielding the hammer, the fiend god rushed toward the grey cloud. Layer after layer of fiend god's power gushed forth like storms across a rough sea.

"What?"

The Rule Soul Avatar hurriedly retreated.

The fiend god's strength had increased manifold after he summoned his weapon, almost as if he had received some kind of boost.

Had the Rule Soul Avatar moved a little slower, he would probably have been hit by it.

Bang!

The power of the fiend god and the Destructive Force collided in the air, and the shockwave cracked the earth and shook the void.

Waves of destructive storms swept through the space and spread for a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Jenifer grabbed Donovan and used her body to shield him as she took several steps back.

When they reached a relatively safe distance, Jenifer thrust the boy toward the Rule Soul Avatar and said, "Since he's not that strong in actuality, leave him to me!"

Since she was at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm, her strength was much higher than that of the Rule Soul Avatar, theoretically.

As the Rule Soul Avatar was able to fight the fiend god, Jenifer deduced that she could kill him.

"No, don't."

The Rule Soul Avatar stopped her.

"Don't be silly. We need to finish him as soon as possible. We will be doomed if the battle catches the attention of other powerful creatures and brings them here!" Jenifer rationalized.

"I need to break through," the Rule Soul Avatar explained.

It had been a while since he had confronted a creature with whom he was well-matched. Since this opportunity would not come again in the near future, the Rule Soul Avatar needed to grab it and enhance his power of laws.
