Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 122: Chapter122-First Battle Against a Master-tier!



Outside the Imperial Capital.

As Owen unleashed the Supreme Sword, Elder William, who was busy fending off the Order of Fire, Order of Thunder, and the Judgment Light Sword, suddenly felt a sense of impending doom.

He widened his eyes in horror, staring at the Supreme Sword that loomed larger and larger in his vision.

Throughout his life, he had encountered many mages skilled in the art of the sword, but the feeling Owen's strike gave him was entirely different.

It was as if this sword was destined to land on him, unavoidable.

The terrifying waves emanating from the blinding sword light made his hair stand on end and gave him goosebumps.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, William did not dare be careless.

He swiftly clasped his hands together, generating a powerful suction from his palms, like a vortex, drawing the black trees from the Dark Forest domain to the front, transforming them into an endless dark forest that stretched the distance between him and Owen.

Boom!

The unstoppable sword energy swept across, slicing through the surrounding darkness and revealing the purest white sword light.

Even the towering trees that continuously sprouted were reduced to ashes and vanished the instant they touched the sword light.

Yet, the dark forest created by William seemed endless, with no apparent end.

After the sword energy shattered those black trees, it seemed trapped within the dark domain.

Seeing this, William was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly noticed the unseeable sword energy expanding dramatically, growing to a height of several dozen feet, and then tearing through the dark forest at an even faster pace.

Watching the sword energy shatter the dark forest in an instant, William's frown deepened.

He suddenly realized that the sword energy hadn't lost much of its power against the dark forest but instead was gathering momentum!

The piercing aura reached him from afar, almost ripping his skin apart.

The ominous feeling in William's heart intensified. He suddenly produced a round, bulging iron orb from his palm, covered with various mysterious patterns.

"In the presence of my Yin Pearl, all attacks shall be dissolved!"

"If this is your strongest technique, then you can go die!"

With the Yin Pearl in hand, William's confidence and assurance surged as he coldly channeled his mana into it.

Empowered by the mana of a master-tier mage, the Yin Pearl quickly expanded, becoming like a black moon hanging over the Dark Forest domain.

This black moon emitted a light that seemed capable of dissolving everything.

Under the illumination of this light, Owen's fearsome sword strike appeared to be swallowed by the invisible black light.

The Yin Pearl was his ultimate treasure, possessing the special ability to nullify magical attacks, greatly benefiting him.

He rarely used it, as it could withstand even master-tier magical attacks.

Just as he was brimming with confidence, William suddenly noticed that under the radiance of the Yin Pearl, the Supreme Sword had mysteriously vanished.

His pupils shrank abruptly.

The light emitted by the Yin Pearl was like a quagmire; once entangled, it was impossible to escape. But now, the sword strike had disappeared!

While he was stunned, a chilling sword energy, sharp enough to crack his skin, suddenly emerged from the void before him. He abruptly realized that the Supreme Sword had torn through the void and appeared right in front of him.

This time, not even his domain, the Dark Forest, could hinder its advance. The protective magic around him was immediately torn apart upon contact with the sword energy of the Supreme Sword!

Bang!

The terrifying sword energy struck directly at William's chest.

His chest caved in immediately, his mage's robe was shredded, and his emaciated chest, ribs, and flesh were shattered under the sword's impact.

It seemed as if this sword strike was meant to split him in two, eradicating him entirely.

William's face was extremely grim. He had used various skills and techniques, and various magical lights flashed on his chest, but at most, they only weakened the power of the Supreme Sword; they couldn't completely block it. His body suffered unprecedented trauma, almost twisted into a mass of mangled flesh.

"Damn it!"

The pain from his torn body constantly stimulated William's keen nerves. He roared angrily, and the Dark Forest domain suddenly contracted, drawing countless dark forces to outline a bizarre black willow tree in the center.

The willow's branches were countless, hanging down like writhing black snakes.

At the end of these branches, hung countless black silhouettes, their heads down, pierced by the willow branches, as if they were part of the tree.

Dense and chilling, just a glance made one's scalp tingle!

After the dark willow tree appeared, the bodies hanging from it suddenly exploded, turning into a twisted mist of blood and fragments. Among these remnants, traces of the Supreme Sword's sword energy could be seen!

With the bodies on the willow serving as mediums to transfer the damage, William's body, nearly torn in half, quickly healed.

His weakened aura suddenly surged at this moment.

Watching this scene, Owen frowned slightly. Although he knew that William was not someone easily defeated, this method of transferring damage was undoubtedly strange.

Through his eyes, he could see the willow tree in the Dark Forest domain behind William, with hundreds or even thousands of bodies hanging from it.

Although many bodies had exploded to resist the Supreme Sword, only about one-third of them were used up.

"Your sword strike is indeed formidable, but it must have taken quite a toll on you as well,

right?"

As Owen gazed at the dark willow tree, William, who had recovered, fixed his venomous eyes

on Owen.

Owen's terrifying skill far exceeded his expectations. However, although this move was indeed powerful, it had drained nearly half of Owen's mana, indicating that it wasn't a technique Owen could easily use.

Having ultimately withstood the attack, William thought to himself that it was now his turn

to perform!

"Tremble before my shadow puppets!" William roared, swinging his hand forward. Instantly,

the corpses on the dark willow tree began to move mechanically, bending their joints, then charged from the willow, treading on the pitch-black realm of the Dark Forest, rushing

towards Owen!

Owen was in a bad state now, and the time had come for him to be finished!

After the previous encounter with the Supreme Sword, William had grown somewhat wary of Owen. This kid had not only raised his tier to a level similar to his own but also possessed

formidable techniques!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Silhouettes of dark puppets dashed toward Owen from all directions. Among these

silhouettes, Owen vaguely recognized many familiar figures. They were the once-renowned prodigies and geniuses of the Azure Kingdom.

"These dark puppets seem very familiar, and their moves appear to be their original skills..."

"Could it be that William, the former Grand Elder, secretly harmed them since these people all mysteriously disappeared earlier?"

The many prodigies who were watching the battle felt even more shocked, and their gazes towards William grew increasingly complex. If Owen's sudden eruption of master-tier aura had initially left them in disbelief, then these dark puppets unleashed by William made their scalps tingle with a sense of creeping horror.

If their suspicions were true, then the decline of the Azure Kingdom was closely linked to this former Grand Elder. After all, those missing prodigies and powerhouses had the potential to reach master-tier or even higher tiers, but later vanished without a trace.

As shock filled the hearts of the onlookers, Owen also noticed the aura emanating from those puppets. Many had reached the platinum-tier and diamond-tier, and now they swept towards him in a mighty onslaught, their momentum terrifying.

Looking at these dark puppets, Owen squinted slightly and murmured to himself, "Is it a

numbers game?"

After speaking, Owen formed seals with his hands, activating the Corpse Animation Spell. Corpses he had stored in his storage ring, along with Sean, Robert, and two bloodwolves, surged forward like a torrent towards the dark puppets. Although William's dark puppets appeared more formidable, the zombies stored in Owen's storage ring numbered in the hundreds or even thousands. Under his current master-tier power, these zombies had their auras elevated by several minor tiers, even a full major tier!
