Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)chapter 368: the steel clawed woman

The whole mansion ground was turned into a warzone with smoke coming out from many places and corpses littered around the place. If anyone were to know that this was all caused by a man without any powers, they wouldn't dare believe it.

Damien was near the mansion's entrance and signaled Nathasia, who was still on the top of the tree, to come down.

Nathasia was still under the shock of having killed so many guards, she began to robotically move down, her eyes completely vacant.

In fact, she felt numb to everything and strangely wasn't feeling anything while her only objective now was to follow Damien.

Damien saw that the number of guards was quite high and felt that Merlin must have already expected this.

But he didn't mind it and also speculated that there must be few bodyguards inside the mansion, protecting Merlin and his family.

He took one of the grenades from his pocket and threw it through the front window. But he didn't stop there but began to take grenades one by one from his bag and threw them through the windows he could see before him.

*BOOOM!!*

"Aaaah!!"

Shouts and screams echoed together with the booming explosions inside the mansion as howls of death resounded in the mansion.

However, Damien didn't seem to be concerned that these grenades might kill Merlin before he could since he knew Merlin would be too inside for the grenades to hurt him.

Smoke and the smell of death filled the hallway as dead bodies were lying around. Some were maids and servants, while the others had guard uniforms.

Nathasia finally got out of her daze as the smell was too terrible, and the sight was too horrifying to see, especially limbs and pieces of human bodies lying around after having a grenade thrown at them.

She wondered how Damien didn't seem to be slightly fazed by all this while she had to hold her breath to keep her head clear.

She started to feel dizzy and nauseous but somehow poured in all her willpower to control herself, telling herself that if she shows weakness now, then she would never get stronger or help Damien later.

"Hey! Stop—"

*PEW!*

Before the guard from upstairs could complete his sentence, Damien already put a hole through his head.

*BANG!*

*Clang!*

Suddenly, a bullet was fired at Damien by a guard who was hiding in a corner, but his eyes widened when he saw Damien deflecting the bullet with his sword.

Couple more guards gritted their teeth as they came out to take down Damien, but all of them were taken down too fast by Damien, while some had their necks sliced off with his sword.

Nathasia didn't know that some of the bullets that were heading towards her were taken care of by Damien unconsciously. But her heart was too taut to notice since each time a bullet was fired, she would get startled and close her eyes shut at the sight of blood spraying.

Damien wasn't moving through the mansion aimlessly. In fact, he already memorized the blueprint of this mansion since, for the past few days, he had been forcing out information about Merlin's whereabouts and the details of his mansion from various people.

Damien made sure that he was prepared enough to at least takedown Merlin even if he himself got killed in the process.

As Damien climbed the steps, the sound of each step was like the footsteps of death closing in on the guards hiding upstairs.

Some of the guards were already injured because of the surprise grenades that dropped in. Some even had part of their limbs exploded into bits and pieces.

"Get your head straight unless you want to leave this hell without avenging your parents."

Damien's cold voice froze away Nathasia's hesitations, and apprehensions as glimpses of her parents being shot down in cold blood triggered various emotions in her, making her eyes glow with a resolved light.

Damien realized that he had involuntarily saved Nathasia quite a few times before and had no idea why he even did that when he felt that he didn't care whether she died or not.

He then believed that he did it since he felt that she was still useful.

Nathasia was no longer in a stunned state but was alert and even helped Damien take down some. Since her father had trained her how to use a pistol before, including aiming it well, she had no problems in accurately aiming at the guards.

Soon, a large wooden door was spotted by Damien at the far end of the corridor. But he stopped as he saw a woman in her thirties, dressed in a black leather suit standing guard in front of the door.

But the scary part about her was the steel and sharp claws attached to her fingers which looked as if they could easily tear out a person's throat.

It didn't take any second guesses for Damien to realize that she was an Ascended one.

It was not that Damien didn't expect Merlin to hire Ascended ones to protect him, but he felt that he had to kill Merlin quickly before his health deteriorated any further.

He could already feel his life force slowly slipping away, while sometimes, his mental state was too disoriented to make him think straight.

He also had the belief the longer he waited, the more preparations Merlin might make for him. So he felt like striking when the iron was still hot.

Besides, he just couldn't stand the idea of Merlin being alive longer, especially after what he did to him.

However, Damien didn't think that Merlin would be comfortable with just having a single Ascended protecting him, but at the same time, this meant that the Ascended standing before him was no joke but a powerful one which Merlin was able to find in a short time.

"The powerful and scary Crimson Devil, oooh. Do you have any idea how long I have been looking forward to marking my beautiful nails with your blood?" The woman coyly said as she licked the steel claws.

For some reason, the woman didn't seem to show any signs of fear upon seeing Damien and instead even inserted a subtle death threat within her words, as if she was completely confident of killing him.

Nathasia felt a very bad vibe from her and felt that she was quite deranged seeing her actions and increased her guard even more as she felt a very dangerous feeling from her.

But Damien frowned upon seeing her and was instead thinking of different ways to take her out. But the main problem was he didn't know what her powers were.
