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

Chapter 28: Chapter28-Run When You Can't Win?



"This is..."

When the terrifying suction force emanated from Carlos's palm, many mages noticed it and became dazed, as if they had heard of it somewhere before.

"One of the top talents of the Dark Emperor, Devour! No wonder Carlos remained low-key yet was still ranked fourth by Academy City.

With such an extraordinary talent, once he grows, other prodigies won't be able to compare!" "This is bad. It looks like Owen is being pulled toward Carlos's Devour talent!"

Many of the older mages' expressions changed one after another, shifting from initially supporting Carlos, to being shocked when Owen suppressed him with one move, and now to supporting Owen.

Meanwhile, as Carlos pushed his talent to the extreme, Owen felt as if countless invisible tentacles were pulling at him.

"Want to devour me? Then I'll give you something to devour!"

Owen sneered, pretending not to resist as he was pulled closer by the suction force from Carlos's palm.

Then, with a subtle movement of his mind, he sent the Order of Thunder directly into Carlos. The violent thunderous aura instantly filled Carlos's body, making him feel an indescribable comfort and strength. It was as if the void in his heart was greatly satisfied at this moment! This sensation made every cell in his body tremble with excitement.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really do have some good stuff on you. This thing is filled with such a dense power of thunder, how could you be worthy of owning it?!"

Carlos's smile grew wider and wider. But at that moment, he suddenly noticed that Owen's face, instead of showing regret or pain, displayed a mocking smile.

Carlos's heart sank with a sense of foreboding.

Then he realized that the mysterious thunderous aura he had absorbed was not stopping because his body had reached its limit.

Instead, it was becoming more violent and uncontrollable.

It was as if a volcano made of thunder had erupted inside him!

Carlos's body, strengthened by years of practicing dark magic, could not provide much defense against the rampaging Order of Thunder.

Boom!

As Carlos's face grew increasingly grim while he speculated about the source of the power of thunder, his body could no longer withstand the aura's impact and exploded.

Blood splattered across the arena, with many fragments flying onto Owen.

The stench of blood filled the air.

Looking at Carlos, whose body had been half-destroyed by the Order of Thunder in an instant, Owen remained calm, having anticipated this outcome.

The Order of Thunder was not something that just anyone could refine and absorb.

If it hadn't been for the small pyramid shadow and his body strengthened by Obsidify, Owen wouldn't have been able to obtain the Order of Thunder.

Carlos, inferior in every aspect and caught off guard by the volatile Order of Thunder, could only end up as he did now.

"Damn, Carlos absorbed Owen's mana, so why did his body explode instead?"

"He has the Dark Emperor bloodline and was suppressing Owen before. How did this happen? Can someone explain what exactly occurred?"

"Only Owen and Carlos know the full story."

At that moment, everyone gaped in shock and started discussing the situation in bewilderment.

Duke Charles, the elder powerhouses of the Bounty Guild, and others were equally stunned.

However, their attention was more focused on the Order of Thunder drifting from Carlos's mangled body.

"The Order of Thunder! It's the Order of Thunder! Owen has already mastered the power of the Order of Thunder. No wonder he appeared so calm during the duel!"

"Who exactly is Owen? He seems like nature's favored child. Not only does he wield the Godslayer Staff, but he has also mastered the Order of Thunder!"

The elder mages were almost hypnotized by the Order of Thunder.

They had been searching for any information about an [Order] for a long time, but there had been no news.

The appearance of an [Order] would cause a tremendous stir, with many covetous mages flocking to it immediately.

On the Royal Arena, Owen ignored the crowd's discussions.

He walked up to the severely injured Carlos, lifted him like a chick, and reabsorbed the [Order].

Then, he prepared to finish off Carlos.

Carlos, destined to become the future Dark Emperor, had been a threat to Owen before.

Now, with their relationship so hostile, Owen knew he had to eliminate him as quickly as possible.

Just as Owen was about to strike, the severely wounded Carlos, in a final desperate act, swallowed a golden recovery pill.

As the pill entered his body, Carlos's mangled body immediately began to heal.

His damaged meridians quickly recovered, and even his aura surged dramatically.

"A regen pill, a miraculous elixir that can revive the dead and regrow flesh and bones, worth forty million gold coins. He actually had one on him. No wonder he's such a cunning Dark Emperor, always leaving himself a way out," Owen murmured to himself as he observed the changes happening to Carlos.

With the help of the regen pill, Carlos not only recovered but also briefly touched the gold-

tier.

He transformed into a blackwing falcon and fled at the fastest speed.

The blackwing falcon is the fastest bird on the continent, and Carlos, proficient in the transformation arts of dark magic, was spurred by the intense life-or-death crisis to reach an

extreme speed.

Owen watched the rapidly receding black dot and chose not to pursue.

If he wanted to, he could have used the Judgment Light Sword combined with Starlit to kill

Carlos with one strike, but Carlos had pulled out a regen pill worth forty million, a near-life-

renewing elixir!

This indicated that the Nether Kingdom had thoroughly prepared for this encounter.

Striking a fatal blow now would undoubtedly alert the top powerhouses of the Nether

Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Owen let Carlos go for now.

After Carlos escaped, the crowd around the arena fell into a brief silence before erupting into

a deafening discussion.

"Clap, clap, clap! Not bad, we underestimated you before. If you continue to grow, it won't be long before us old bones are no match for you."

Hearing the sudden applause, everyone turned towards the sound to see Tony sitting in a chair, his eyes filled with killing intent as he locked onto Owen and continued: "Unfortunately, today you will die by my hand. The opportunities and talents you possess will ultimately be nothing but an illusion!"

Faced with Tony's provocative words, Owen calmly stared at him and extended one finger.

"I'll kill you in one move."

"Owen must be crazy! He's even disregarding the vice leader of the Bounty Guild!"

"Owen's experience is still too shallow, and he's too arrogant. A platinum-tier mage is

respected as a powerful figure anywhere on the continent!"

Owen's words shocked everyone present.

Most of the mages watching were stunned, their faces frozen in disbelief.

Many prodigies scoffed, not believing Owen could do such a thing.

However, some female mages, gradually captivated by Owen's charm, looked at him with

starry eyes, eagerly awaiting his next move.

Though it seemed absurd for a silver-tier level 7 to kill a half-step platinum-tier mage in one

strike, the one who said it was Owen!

They were filled with hope for Owen.

And indeed, Owen had his reasons for saying this.

Facing a strong opponent just a step away from platinum-tier, all tricks and strategies were

meaningless.

In a battle between true powerhouses, it all came down to one move! The strongest move!

Tony narrowed his eyes. "Let me give you some advice: young people shouldn't be so

arrogant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony leapt onto the stage, his crescent-shaped, strange white hair instantly attracting attention.

Owen, however, focused on the Order Fusion Spell.

This special skill allowed different [Orders] to be fused together, making the power of the technique even more terrifying.

The resulting fusion didn't simply add their powers together but multiplied them several

times over.

Owen took a deep breath and began merging the two spell marks floating on his forehead.

Thunder and Fire.

The moment these two vastly different powerful [Orders] touched, it felt as if Owen's head

exploded, leaving him dizzy and disoriented as though he had taken a severe blow.

However, this dizziness didn't last long.

The thunder rune and fire rune on his forehead intertwined and fused together.
