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

Chapter 148: Chapter148-Owen's Trump Card



"Exp Release!"

Owen whispered to himself. His originally diamond-tier level 1 status, under the boost of Exp, began to skyrocket as if propelled by a rocket.

Diamond-tier level 2.

Diamond-tier level 3.

...

As Owen's level increased, the surrounding mana instantly converged towards him, penetrating every pore and circulating through his meridians and body, refining his physique and purifying his bloodline.

The scorching aura that had been emanating from Kaldan was completely dispersed under the turbulent mana.

Owen's level-up made Kaldan instinctively sense that something was wrong.

He had encountered breakthroughs during battle before.

However, most of them involved breaking through a single level or shattering a bottleneck to advance from a peak state to the next major tier.

Generally speaking, breaking through a tier was already an extraordinary feat, a sign of exceptional talent and remarkable fortune.

But Owen's tier was continuously rising!

From diamond-tier level 1, he had successively broken through to diamond-tier level 4, with no sign of stopping!

This continuous level-up was so unbelievable that even someone as gifted as Kaldan from Middle Earth found it incomprehensible.

How on earth was Owen achieving this?!

After a moment of astonishment, a look of deep mockery appeared on Kaldan's face as if he had thought of something.

Such a rapid increase was impossible even for the prodigies of Middle Earth.

Owen, a lowly person from a barren land, must have activated some secret technique to forcibly raise his tier.

This kind of enhancement was superficial, and his actual combat power hadn't increased much-it was all just a façade.

Moreover, even if Owen had truly advanced from diamond-tier level 1 to the current diamond-tier level 6, so what?

He was still just a diamond-tier mage, and there remained an insurmountable chasm between him and Kaldan, who was now a master-tier mage!

Even if Owen were to use some secret technique to break through to master-tier, his combat strength would still be worlds apart from mine!

"I come from Middle Earth, and yet you dare act so recklessly. After becoming a cripple, you can reflect on your actions today!"

As Kaldan charged towards Owen, his confidence unwavering, he gave a cold, cruel smile. His molten, lava-like face twisted grotesquely at this moment.

Without hesitation, his arm, imbued with a portion of the primal magic essence, transformed into a stream of flowing lava.

The searing heat burned the air along its path with a bubbling hiss as it hurtled straight for Owen's chest, aiming to pierce him through and incinerate his limbs.

This strike was immense and overwhelming, its blinding light and rippling waves filling Owen's vision in an instant.

Owen's attention was wholly focused on Kaldan.

Seeing him already within striking distance, the mana that had surged violently within Owen's body seemed to find an outlet. It furiously converged into Owen's arm, causing it to rapidly swell.

Under the immense pressure of the concentrated mana, his arm began to crystallize, becoming translucent like a gleaming gemstone.

Within this crystalline arm, flames and the Order of Thunder flickered, emanating an aura of extreme ferocity and danger.

The sheer intensity of this energy even slowed the flow of the surrounding void.

Boom!

Though it sounds like a lengthy process, in reality, the two fists collided in a mere split second, producing an earth-shattering roar.

The void around them trembled violently as if a transparent pane of glass had been struck, spider-webbing with black cracks that spread outward.

Under this tremendous impact, Heronburg felt as though it had been hit by an unprecedented earthquake.

The castle, already cracked and dented from the previous battles, began to shake and collapse.

The soldiers of the Azure Kingdom, who had just retreated back into the fortress and hadn't yet caught their breath, scattered once more, seeking refuge in open areas away from the

tremors.

Generals like Stanley looked on in shock and terror.

When Kaldan and the others from Middle Earth appeared, it was as if a dark, oppressive cloud settled over his heart.

The feelings of dread and terror spread uncontrollably deep within him.

After all, Kaldan and his companions were almost all above master-tier! Such terrifying power! Such an overwhelming lineup!

Now, with Kaldan's attack, the sheer destructive force of that strike made them shiver uncontrollably, their souls nearly leaving their bodies in fear.

Under such a fearsome elemental assault, even if they relied on the natural defenses and military formations to resist to the bitter end, they would still be vaporized by the lava, with no chance of survival.

Even though Stanley and the others had immense faith in Owen, when faced with such absolute power, they could only silently mourn for Owen, hoping that Kaldan would at least leave him a whole body.

However, as the shockwave from the collision of the two fists gradually subsided, Stanley and the others were suddenly horrified to see a figure unable to hold on, rapidly flying backward!

And that person was not Owen!

It seemed that Owen had actually won this clash!

Stanley and the soldiers stared in stunned disbelief, rubbing their eyes furiously, unable to believe what they were seeing.

At this moment, it wasn't just Stanley and his men who were shocked.

Henry and the others from the Four Great Empires and the Three Great Families of Middle Earth were also staring at Owen in disbelief.

From their perspective, the absolute domination of Prince Kaldan over Owen not only failed to materialize, but Owen had actually sent Kaldan flying with a single punch!

Moreover, they saw more clearly than Stanley and the others.

As Kaldan was sent flying, the violent energy that burst from Owen's punch forcefully surged into Kaldan's outstretched arm, and then, with a deafening blast, it erupted, tearing Kaldan's

arm apart!

With a single exchange, Owen disabled Kaldan's arm!

Kaldan was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a large crater!

This was utterly unbelievable!

Henry and the others, who knew Kaldan's strength well, looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Their eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and the scene before them seemed so absurd that it felt unreal, even in a dream.

It was important to note that Kaldan's strength ranked among the top within the prodigies of

Middle Earth.

Otherwise, they would never have temporarily bowed to him.

The terrifying power he displayed in his previous attack confirmed that he had become even

more formidable than before.

Even a master-tier level 3 mage would likely not be a match for Kaldan.

Yet, Owen, a mere diamond-tier mage-a tier lower than Kaldan-had managed to

completely overwhelm him.

In an instant, Henry and the others narrowed their eyes, replaying the details of the previous

moment in their minds.

It was only then that they realized Owen's level had undergone a massive transformation

since earlier.

The purity and vastness of the mana within him now surpassed even that of Kaldan, a master-

tier mage! However, Owen had only advanced to diamond-tier level 6, not master-tier.

For a diamond-tier mage to possess such refined and immense mana left them utterly

speechless, feeling as if they themselves were the ones out of their depth, as though they were the true country bumpkins from outside Middle Earth.

At that moment, seeing Kaldan being completely overpowered by Owen, with one of his arms rendered useless, Kaldan's Protector...

That Protector, who was already half a step into the grave, suddenly erupted with fury, his hair and beard standing on end, as a terrifying psychic wave spread in all directions.

He was nearly driven to madness.

As Kaldan's Protector, his fate was irrevocably tied to Kaldan's-sharing in his glory and

disgrace alike.

Kaldan, a prodigy of Middle Earth, had been grievously wounded in a single strike by Owen, a

mere native.

This was nothing short of a slap in the face for him as Kaldan's Protector! And it happened in front of the great empires and the world!

What made it even worse was that Kaldan had previously vowed to reduce Owen to a cripple and take him to Middle Earth to repent day and night for what had happened today.

But now, it seemed like the tables had turned.

"Fuck you!" The Protector roared, his voice thunderous and terrifying, as a violent aura exploded from his

body, instantly covering an area hundreds of miles around, making him seem like the war god

of this wrathful land!

Under the pressure of his aura, even the prodigies from Middle Earth felt as though their

mouths and noses were being smothered, their mana immediately suppressed, almost impossible to mobilize!

The terrifying suppression swept towards Owen from afar, making his pupils contract sharply.

He quickly realized that this Protector of Kaldan's had surpassed the master-tier level,

reaching an even higher realm-grandmaster-tier!

This Protector was a grandmaster-tier mage!
