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

Chapter 214: Chapter214-Overwhelming Battle Power



"Tall trees catch the wind! No matter the outcome, this battle will be highly detrimental to Owen, the prodigy."

Several professors shook their heads slightly. The stronger Owen appeared on the surface, the more forces in Middle Earth wouldn't allow him to grow.

However, at the moment, they decided to wait and see.

Meanwhile, deep within the southernmost primeval jungle, in Aiden Castle...

A seductive woman with ram's horns, black wings, and a long tail, resembling a succubus, looked at a magical mirror before her with peach blossom eyes, gazing at the latest intelligence reports from various sources.

"Interesting, this little guy has already caused quite a stir before. I thought he'd quiet down for a while, but now he's making an even bigger storm..."

"With such talent and deep emotions, he's truly a rare man. However, the Pyrothrone Kingdom is not like other powers on this continent."

She murmured to herself, her tail swaying slightly, a trace of expectation in her eyes.

"I hope this time, you can bring me another surprise."

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to temporarily refrain from helping Owen.

It was still a bit too early to get involved in this storm of attention.

At the same time, after repeated discussions, the various factions in Middle Earth all agreed on one thing: wait!

Wait for the situation to become clear before taking action.

For these factions, there is no such thing as helping in a time of need, only embellishing success or kicking someone when they're down.

...

Time passed swiftly.

As the sun rose on the horizon, after a night of travel and rest, Owen's airship finally arrived at the first city on the edge of the Pyrothrone Kingdom-Nikol City!

This was the first border city into the Pyrothrone Kingdom and an important gateway.

Usually, it was bustling with mages coming and going, and trade flourished, making it an incredibly prosperous city.

However, now with Owen's army arriving, the city's gates had long been sealed shut, cutting off trade and giving the place an eerie stillness, with a faint scent of bloodlust in the air.

As the vast airship approached, the prepared city lord of Nikol, standing on the city walls, immediately gave the order.

In an instant, the mages and guards within the city ignited their magic, gathering it into the city's magical defense array, enveloping the entire city and blocking the airship's path.

Owen's movements had long been closely monitored, and City Lord Matthew had made ample preparations, swearing to stop Owen at the border of the Pyrothrone Kingdom.

"Lord City Lord, the Rock Fortress Array has been activated!"

Standing atop the city wall, Matthew, surveying the rising array, heard the report from a kneeling soldier.

The army Owen led brought an unprecedented sense of oppression to them, yet it also stirred their fighting spirit.

Now, this Rock Fortress Array, powered by over ten thousand mages and tens of thousands of city guards, was as solid as a rock.

It was like an invisible mountain, exuding a pressure that darkened the skies and forced the winds to divert.

Once the array was activated, the surrounding space seemed to solidify, and any attempt to break through would be crushed by its immense power!

"Good, close the gates and defend to the death. I'd like to see how they plan to break through this iron wall!"

Matthew squinted slightly, gazing through the thick protective barrier at Owen on the ship's bow, a confident smile on his face.

He knew Owen had brought an overwhelming force, so he never intended to engage Owen head-on, instead choosing to rely on the fortress defense array.

After all, with so many mages and soldiers powering the array, it was an impenetrable barrier!

Boom!

Just as Matthew was full of confidence, Owen looked at the rising array and shook his head slightly.

The array's defensive strength was indeed formidable, but the army behind him was extraordinary. This array might stop the attacks of a grandmaster-tier mage, but it couldn't withstand the combined assault of a group of master-tier and grandmaster-tier mages.

"Since this is the first battle against the Pyrothrone Kingdom, let's strike together and crush them utterly, breaking their spirit!"

Owen waved his hand, signaling the dragons to attack.

The Gold Dragon King and the Bone Dragon King exchanged a glance, then turned to their dragon army, smiles touching their eyes.

"It's been a long time since the dragons have fought. It's time for the dragons' name to resound across Middle Earth once again. Go, let them know what the wrath of dragons

means!"

Both the Bone Dragon King and the Gold Dragon King gave the order.

Boom!

In an instant, golden dragons and bone dragons alike descended from the swirling clouds,

their vast forms like towering mountains, plummeting toward the array.

Their scales and bones rubbed against the void, emitting a thunderous sound.

Their massive bodies blotted out the bright light of the sky, plunging Nikol City into a sudden, eerie night.

The oppressive force that shattered the void and annihilated all in its path made it hard for anyone to breathe.

Inside the city, the once-confident City Lord Matthew saw the light in his eyes replaced by fear and dread.

He had known Owen had the help of dragons and fallen angels, but as the first border city, Nikol had been fortified many times, and the city's defense array could withstand the attacks

of several grandmaster-tier mages.

It was a veritable iron wall.

However, now seeing the terrifying dragons in action, just the aura they exuded sent shivers down his spine. The once seemingly impenetrable barrier offered him no sense of security. Inside the city, the soldiers and mages were all fixated on the dragons' forms, overwhelmed by an unprecedented terror of death.

Their hearts raced, and magical waves surged from their bodies like never before.

For a moment, the protective barrier around Nikol City, pushed to its limits by the soldiers and mages, shone brilliantly!

However, as the Rock Fortress Array reached its peak, the dragons' attacks rained down on the

array!

Flaming breath!

Corrosive mist!

Bone spikes!

...

Each dragon possessed at least master-tier strength, and their unique bloodlines placed them

at the top of most lifeforms.

With their full strength unleashed, the air around them crackled, and rolling flames blanketed

every corner of the array.

The seemingly unbreakable array, upon contact with dragon fire, darkened and withered, evaporated by the intense heat into magical mist that shot into the sky.

Next, the corrosive mist from the bone dragons spread, further dissolving the weakened

barrier with a harsh sizzling sound.

The protective barrier around the city collapsed with a thunderous crash.

The mages and soldiers powering the array were hit by intense backlash, pale-faced,

vomiting blood, and trembling as they struggled to stand.

And that was just the beginning.

With the defense array shattered, sharp bone spikes descended like icy spears from the sky, a

dense rain covering nearly the entire city!

Whoosh!

The bone spikes struck the city walls first, their sharp sound slicing through the air. The heavy

city walls, built from obsidian and other sturdy materials, were pierced like tofu, leaving

bowl-sized holes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Without the barrier and the protection of the walls, the soldiers and mages had no defense

against the bone spikes.

As the spikes struck, they were skewered, turned into pools of blood, exploding like crimson roses-eerie and terrifying.

In an instant, the array below Owen was broken, and the city walls collapsed in a web of cracks, burying the slain soldiers and mages beneath the rubble, dust rising into the air.

Outside the city, many mages who had fled earlier turned to look at the ancient city they had lived in for decades, their faces filled with shock.

They never expected that after fleeing for only a short time, the first border city of their kingdom would fall, reduced to a pile of ruins!
