Chapter 162: Chapter162-Rachel’s Judgment
"Because I killed them all!"
The voice, calm with a hint of coldness, echoed through the air.
The Dragon Princess, Rachel, and the others who had just arrived through the teleportation array all felt a jolt of shock in their hearts. They knew very well what it would mean if those words were true!
Immediately, their eyes, filled with fear, turned toward Owen.
Although they suspected Owen might be bluffing, the fact that the crown prince of the Pyrothrone Kingdom wasn't here at this moment was completely illogical.
Especially since the other prodigies, who had always been Kaldan's lackeys, were all showing Owen such deep respect. It didn't seem like an act but rather a genuine expression of their feelings.
The Dragon Princess knew these people's nature very well from her dealings with them in Middle Earth-they were the kind who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
If Owen hadn't conquered them with absolute power, they wouldn't have submitted so completely.
Even if they pretended to submit, they would secretly defy him.
Could it be that Owen was telling the truth?
But how could that be possible?
"Kaldan... Joseph... and all the master-tier Protectors... none of them are in the group..."
Suddenly, Rachel, who was beside the Dragon Princess, swept her sharp gaze over each person standing by Owen.
Her previously calm expression abruptly showed significant change.
Because none of the Protectors who should have been in this group were present!
They knew very well the status of these prodigies in Middle Earth—they were the precious darlings of their sects, too valuable to be lost. They were the hope of their families and kingdoms.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent to seek the Supreme Order, and even though most of them were only at the diamond-tier, master-tier, and even grandmaster-tier mages were dispatched as their Protectors.
Yet, all these Protectors who should have been with them were absent!
This could only mean one thing: the Protectors had perished.
Realizing this, even the proud Dragon Princess looked at Rachel in stunned disbelief.
As Kaldan's old rival, the Dragon Princess was very aware of his strength. Although she often belittled him in public, she never underestimated him when it came to an actual fight.
But now, Owen claimed to have killed Kaldan. How could that be possible?
Owen was just a diamond-tier mage.
Most importantly, Kaldan's Protector was a grandmaster-tier mage!
A grandmaster-tier mage, even in Middle Earth, was a powerful force to be reckoned with. In this barren land outside of Middle Earth, such a mage was almost unmatched.
To kill Kaldan, one would have to overcome his grandmaster-tier Protector, a mountain too high to climb!
Rachel narrowed her eyes, and although Owen's words seemed incredible, the current situation suggested that Owen might have indeed slain a grandmaster-tier Protector and three master-tier Protectors!
After all, neither Kaldan nor those Protectors were present.
Moreover, Rachel noticed that Owen spoke with a calmness that seemed to state a fact. His composure and steadiness made even her subconscious believe that Owen was telling the truth.
"Owen, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue with such big words? You think you can kill Protectors far beyond your level? You're full of nonsense!"
The Dragon Princess still couldn't believe it. As a proud prodigy of Middle Earth, she had always strived to be the top prodigy there.
Over the years, she had fought countless battles, honing her strength between life and death.
But if Owen's words were true, and he had accomplished something she couldn't even dream of, what would that make of all her efforts and sacrifices?
In her fury, the Dragon Princess let out a roar.
The sound waves spread out in layers, like heavy hammers striking the hearts of everyone present, leaving them dazed and with her roar echoing in their minds.
The mages watching were all serious-faced, not expecting this Dragon Princess, who had suddenly appeared, to have such a fiery temper.
She was quick to act and incredibly powerful, and they felt a chill in the air as if a cold wind had swept through.
The Dragon Princess appeared before Owen like a whirlwind, moving at an astonishing speed.
Standing before Owen, her eyes filled with doubt and disbelief, she wove complex, mystical golden threads of magic around her, emanating the bloodline pressure of the dragon clan, causing the very void around her to crack and splinter.
The Dragon Princess was a master-tier mage and, being a dragon, was virtually unbeatable among her peers.
She didn't regard Owen, a mere diamond-tier mage, as anything significant!
Seeing the haughty expression on the Dragon Princess's face, Owen shook his head slightly. He had lost any reverence for master-tier mages, given that his current strength left him unafraid of any master-tier mage.
Even if the dragons were considered the strongest race, it made no difference to him!
He clenched his right fist, mana surging like boiling water, causing his right hand to swell rapidly before his muscles contracted, his entire body resembling a bow being drawn taut. With a powerful snap, he unleashed his punch.
Crushing Punch!
This punch, simple yet immense in power, exuded a beauty born of raw strength and magic.
"Is this all you've got? Such a crude magic skill, and you think it can threaten me? Utter
nonsense!"
The Dragon Princess sneered coldly, her face full of disdain.
As a member of the dragon clan, she had learned many complex and profound magical arts since childhood and naturally looked down on Owen's straightforward punch.
Besides, the dragon clan's physique was considered among the top across all races. Owen's method was nothing more than throwing an egg against a rock-it was suicidal.
"This move is more than enough to deal with you!"
Owen snorted softly as his punch collided with the Dragon Princess's own punch.
At the moment their fists met, it was like the most magnificent fireworks exploding between
them.
The Dragon Princess's fist, infused with mana that flowed like thousands of streams and
terrifying energy, intertwined like an unstoppable drill.
However, as soon as it collided with Owen's fist, it shattered!
It was as if it had struck an immovable wall of copper and iron.
The Dragon Princess's expression changed drastically-she couldn't withstand Owen's punch
at all.
Bang!
A thunderous crash resounded as Owen's punch rippled like waves, continuing to press down on the Dragon Princess's already shattered fist, causing her tough knuckle bones to bend and crack, filling with twisted fractures.
A needle-like pain spread from her fist, and veins bulged on her forehead as her body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
"Princess!"
Seeing this, the prodigies and Protectors behind the Dragon Princess cried out in shock, their
faces filled with fear.
The Princess was a master-tier mage and a top-tier dragon, yet she had suffered such a
crushing defeat after just one exchange with Owen!
One move!
Just one move, and the Princess was already forced back and injured.
But this was only the beginning.
As he sent the Dragon Princess flying, pure white wings unfurled from Owen's back, emitting
a biting cold wind.
He flapped his wings, leaving a series of afterimages in the air as he caught up with the
retreating Dragon Princess.
Her blood and mana were in turmoil inside her body, and even though she sensed Owen closing in, she couldn't muster the strength to counterattack.
She could only quickly gather her magic, causing golden dragon scales to appear on her body,
like an unbreakable golden armor.
Boom, boom, boom-
A series of collisions rang out as the Dragon Princess's body was pummeled by Owen's relentless punches, her golden scales unable to withstand the barrage of force. They exploded
one after another like brilliant golden fireworks.
The next moment, Owen delivered a heavy punch to the Dragon Princess's abdomen, driving
her deep into the ground.
The Dragon Princess's pupils contracted sharply as she felt an unbearable pain throughout her
body, as if every bone was trembling.
An unprecedented sense of defeat overwhelmed her.
As the Dragon Princess, she had never suffered such a crushing defeat.
She had no chance to fight back against Owen!
With her heart sinking into despair, the Dragon Princess suddenly noticed that Owen had
stopped attacking her and had turned his attention toward Rachel instead!
