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

Chapter 55: Chapter55-Lord of the Dark Tower!



"Indeed, the gap of an entire tier isn't easily bridged. In that case, let's face this properly," Leslie said, slowly closing her eyes.

When she reopened them, her pupils had transformed into cat-like slits, and an earth- shattering mana wave erupted from her, rapidly elevating her level to mid-master-tier!

As her aura surged, it seemed a massive vortex appeared around Leslie, drawing all the mana in the surroundings into her body.

Her muscles and bones suddenly grew, making her limbs appear even longer and breaking the ice encasing her, adding a wild aspect to her demeanor.

This scene left Prince Billy and Bryan stunned.

Mid-master-tier! Leslie's strength had instantly leaped by an entire tier!

This was inconceivable!

The higher one progressed in cultivation, the greater the disparity between tiers.

Even a small level difference was an insurmountable gap.

An entire tier was the difference between heaven and earth, capable of instantaneously determining the outcome of a battle.

Yet Leslie, right before their eyes, had ascended to mid-master-tier!

Such an extreme increase was unheard of!

In all his years of training, Bryan had never encountered such a bizarre secret technique.

It seemed Leslie had employed some form of dark magic, especially given the significant enhancement to her physical body, which resembled beast transformation.

However, she did not exhibit the usual dark magic aura, making Bryan uncertain.

"Is this the power of a master-tier? It truly is extraordinary..." Leslie remarked, her cat-like pupils gleaming with a seductive, intoxicated look.

Compared to her previous diamond-tier self, her mana now surged like a mighty river, a qualitative leap.

Her mind power had also increased significantly, becoming more tangible and enhancing her perception immensely.

She could clearly see an autumn cicada miles away and hear its calls as if it were beside her.

It was a complete transformation! Feeling the unprecedented power within her, Leslie's eyes sparkled, and she clenched her slender fingers tightly.

The dark ring on her hand flashed, and a snow-white spear like a dragon appeared in her grasp.

A sharp aura emanated from her, roaring like an enraged dragon towards the sky!

She raised the spear, pointing it at Bryan, with swirling ice converging at its tip like a tornado. In the next moment, Leslie, like a beam of white light piercing the heavens, charged at Bryan.

Bryan's expression grew uncharacteristically serious.

If the earlier Leslie had merely hinted at a sense of danger, the current Leslie made him feel as if he were facing a true dragon soaring through the heavens.

He sensed a powerful crisis and pressure from her, no different from facing other master-tier mages he had encountered.

In an instant, Bryan, looking grave, dared not be careless.

He formed hand seals with both hands simultaneously, and brilliant golden and fiery lights burst forth from his left and right hands.

The golden and red glows acted like two black holes, absorbing the surrounding mana and stirring up howling gales.

With the augmentation of these lights, Bryan seemed to transform into a golden giant ablaze with divine fire, his stature growing larger, surrounded by complex formations that hinted at an immortal aura.

Clang!

In a flash, the two peak-power beings collided.

Every part of Bryan's body became an indestructible weapon, clashing with Leslie's snow- white spear.

Sparks flew like waterfalls from their point of impact, while a startling white shockwave expanded like a bubble, affecting the mountainous forest.

The surrounding mountains trembled slightly, rocks exploded, and ancient trees in the forest were felled in patches, unable to withstand the pressure of the shockwave.

As Bryan and Leslie continued their fierce battle, it became evident that as Leslie grew more adept at mastering her newfound power, she began to gain the upper hand. Prince Billy's face, once filled with awe and fear, now showed sheer disbelief and terror.

He knew well the strength of the black-robed elder, yet now Bryan was being overpowered by Leslie!

If word of this got out, it would undoubtedly cause sensation across the continent!

"No matter how talented Leslie is, at her age, it's impossible for her to have broken through to master-tier!" Prince Billy shook his head vigorously, convinced that the power Leslie was displaying couldn't belong to her.

He believed that if the black-robed elder could hold on for a little longer, he would definitely be able to subdue Leslie!

However, just as this thought crossed his mind, he saw Leslie's spear, like a dragon, pierce through Bryan's abdomen, embedding the entire spearhead into his golden body.

Bryan's aura quickly diminished, and he staggered back, struggling to maintain his balance.

Bryan realized he had underestimated Leslie, both in her mastery of magic and her formidable spear technique, which could not have been developed overnight.

The chilling aura surrounding the spear had constantly affected him, causing his performance to deteriorate.

As he distanced himself from Leslie, clutching the wound in his abdomen, a glint of madness appeared in Bryan's eyes.

If this continued, he would undoubtedly be the one to fall.

He had to resort to forbidden magic to eliminate Leslie swiftly, giving her no chance.

Though it would come at a cost, he deemed it worthwhile to deal with Leslie.

Immediately, his storage ring glowed, and a bizarre staff with nine beast heads appeared in

his hand.

His aura surged dramatically, as if bolstered by a powerful force.

"I must admit, you are the most talented and powerful among the younger generation I have ever seen. It is your honor to die by the Nine Beasts," Bryan stated, as if declaring a fact.

He then raised the staff with the nine beast heads high, channeling the mana from within and around him into it.

Instantly, the eyes of the beast heads glowed dark green, emitting beams of green light.

These lights formed a continuous array centered on the staff, faintly revealing the silhouettes

of nine ferocious spellbeasts, encircling Leslie like mountains.

A terrifying aura locked onto her.

Bryan's expression grew solemn.

The forbidden spell, the Nine Beasts, was exceedingly brutal and would not dissipate without

bloodshed.

Even renowned master-tier mages had been slain by the Nine Beasts.

How could Leslie stand a chance?

Prince Billy's face showed a mix of shock and anticipation.

He knew the forbidden spell, the Nine Beasts, was the black-robed elder's trump card. Once unleashed, it could even kill master-tier mages!

Leslie's fall seemed inevitable.

Under the overwhelming pressure of the nine ferocious beasts, even Leslie felt a tingling at her scalp, almost compelled to kneel in reverence, unable to withstand their oppression. However, she quickly took a deep breath, and a colossal ancient black tower appeared behind

her.

This black tower was shrouded in dark clouds, immense and indistinct, dwarfing the mountain-like Nine Beasts, making them appear as small as a single level of the tower. The black tower stood nine stories tall, reaching into the heavens.

With the appearance of the black tower, the pressure on Leslie vanished. The forbidden array, which centered on her or rather the black tower, was instantly crushed!

As the array was shattered, Bryan suffered a backlash, staggering backward with a dazed expression, a trickle of blood escaping his mouth.

Struggling to regain his footing, his attention was immediately drawn to the towering black

structure.

In front of the black tower, he, the surrounding land, and the very sky seemed insignificantly small. A look of terror and disbelief crossed his face as he seemed to realize something.

"Impossible! This is..."

He couldn't believe his eyes, having only seen a fleeting mention of the black tower in ancient

texts. Glancing at Leslie, his expression changed again.

"Could it be that you are..."
