Varnyx screamed through the system interface, almost giving Damon a mini-stun effect. "My Lord! You premonitions! They have come true! My LORD! We are under attack by all three cities surrounding us! Another army of two thousand strong is approaching us from all sides! My LORD! We are heavily outnumbered and overwhelmed!"

Damon laughed. He was already prepared for this and hence wasn't all that shocked when he learned about it. In fact, he was counting on this. Now he could finally let loose the big guns he had specifically allocated for this moment.

Damon immediately prepared to leave the battlefield and head over to the eastern and western gates when, suddenly, a red-robed figure appeared in front of him. "You cannot leave here."

"Says who?" Damon sneered. He had no doubt that this was the same guy who was protecting that woman.

"You cannot leave until I say so!" A powerful aura assaulted him, an aura that was capable of single-handedly arresting someone in place and suppressing them entirely like a stun skill or paralysis skill.

Damon felt it, but… the next second, his own blood essence seeped out and surrounded him, completely shaking off the effect

"You do not have the ability to say something like that to me!" Damon growled as numerous hellfire crimson spears appeared all around him. Every single one of these blood spears was heavy with terrifying power.

Only the red-robed man's eyes were revealed, but there was a look of shock within them. His gaze shifted to Damon's arm, which no longer had any injury on it. His eyes widened further. "You are truly impressive indeed. The young miss underestimated you more than she thinks she did."

Damon released the blood spears instantly as they shot towards the man with full force. At the same time, his figure blurred. It did not matter because when he reappeared, the red-robed man was once again right in front of his face.

"I already told you. I am your opponent. You cannot go anywhere until I allow you to!"

Damon's face twitched. This was an annoying development that he did not specifically want or like. The man in front of him was clearly talented and an excellent, well-trained combat expert.

Normally, he would have appreciated the chance to fight with such a being just to see how much he could push himself, but right now was not a good time. There were other things he would rather be doing.

This was not a fight he could win easily. He could only drag it out at most and search for a way to win. Right at this point, it was a massive time waste.

And it looked like that's exactly what the other party wanted. To waste his time. To give the super ten armies more time to strengthen their position.

But Damon only grinned at this. "I know what you are trying to do. It is pointless. Whether I am there or not, your army will fall!"

This time, another powerful spear appeared in Damon's hand, and he thrust it forward, aiming straight for the man's heart.

The red-robed man laughed. "You mistake me. I don't really care about these politics. I only care about the opponent in front of me, and right now that is you." He casually caught Damon's attack in between his two fingers, and on the other hand, a vicious-looking dagger dripping poison appeared.

"Actually, you are not much of an opponent. You are still a child who barely knows how to wield your weapon. It's embarrassing for me to fight with someone like you."

Damon only smiled coldly, completely indifferent to the taunt. "Then teach me." He casually spoke and drove the spear harder. The red-robed man pinched, twisted, and broke the point like chalk. At the same time, his poison dagger slid for Damon's throat.

It was a crimson dagger with a poisonous hue surrounding it. It was not a legendary weapon, but Damon could tell that it was something special. The weapon's aura was extremely unique, even sending a shiver down his spine.

However, the poison aura was still not strong enough to make him fret. Damon's poison did not seem to affect the red-robed guy, and his poison wasn't strong enough to affect Damon either.

Damon simply caught the blade in his palm. The next instant, the blade disappeared and reappeared on the red-robed man's hand. Black smoke hissed across his skin…then sank in.

[Ding! Nine Million Poison Body has absorbed the toxin.]

Damon licked the cut clean. "Tastes weak."

The red-robed man's cold eyes were still locked onto him as his figure silently disappeared. Not that he lost interest in the fight or was running away. Almost immediately, numerous images of him flashed all around Damon, every single one of them sending a blade slash at Damon.

Damon clicked his tongue. This was bad. He could easily counter this attack right now, but he was currently fighting under a handicap. This was because he knew the true motive of this man. It was neither to kill him nor to waste his time.

This man right here was trying to force him to reveal every single card in his hand. That had to be it. The super ten must have gotten curious about him and must have wondered why he was as powerful as he was when he did not have their background.

The true motive of this man today should be to find out this secret of his. Otherwise, he wouldn't be facing this attack right now. He would be facing something much stronger and powerful.

Damon might not have sensed it at first, but after exchanging these few blows with the red-robed man, he was sure about it. This was a peak C rank powerhouse and an elite one at that.

This meant that not only did he possess a special class, but chances were he also possessed an abundance of stats and other advantages. Even the weapon in his hand should be a special weapon.
