Chapter 102: Chapter102-Owen’s Plan
Boom!
On the walls of the imperial capital, the figures of Otto and Owen clashed continuously, like two meteors colliding, producing deafening sounds.
The wall beneath their feet was riddled with holes, nearly shattered by the magical ripples spreading from their battle.
Under Otto’s relentless attacks, Owen was forced to retreat continuously, appearing like a flickering candle in the rain, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
It was only thanks to the support of the Fallen Angel Set that he managed to hold on until now.
However, Owen’s resilience far exceeded Otto’s expectations.
Each time the great axe descended upon him, in the face of mortal danger, Owen would activate the Order of Thunder and Order of Fire to forcefully widen the distance between them.
This scene left everyone watching in astonishment, their breaths caught in their throats.
Given Owen’s current strength, the fact that he could withstand Otto’s attacks for so long was completely unexpected!
On the city wall, Edward was frantically recording the battle, his monocle emitting a unique glow that captured every detail of the fight.
His astonishment grew stronger with each moment.
He had seen many records of diamond-tier mage battles, where such powerful beings displayed terrifying destructive power capable of scorching mountains and boiling seas.
From Otto’s demonstrated combat prowess, he had already surpassed that level.
The city wall was riddled with holes and left in ruins under his axe.
The ancient walls of this thousand-year-old city were nearly destroyed, and the terrifying aftershocks had already killed countless mages.
Yet, Owen remained standing, showcasing unimaginable tenacity under Otto’s attacks.
It was important to note that Owen’s current level was merely gold-tier.
Despite the vast disparity in their levels, Otto had not been able to instantly kill Owen.
Instead, Owen had managed to delay him until now.
Just this fact alone was unprecedented in historical records and utterly shocking!
Edward could already imagine the immense shockwaves this news would send once it spread!
However, amid the shock, Edward grew increasingly anxious and worried.
His palm, gripping the quill, was already drenched in sweat.
Though Owen could barely hold on under Otto’s assault, if this continued, he wouldn’t last much longer!
If Owen died at Otto’s hands, it would indeed be news that would shock the continent.
But without Owen, finding another prodigy that could attract the continent’s attention and the academy’s focus would be nearly impossible.
While Edward was inwardly restless, Leslie, who was also watching the battle, felt equally unsettled.
Her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Owen, never leaving him from the start.
Owen’s current level was far too low, even though she knew his combat power far exceeded his level.
However, every time she saw Otto almost kill Owen, her heart would skip a beat.
Just as her aura began to boil over, General Stanley’s wary gaze fell on her.
Owen and Leslie were the leaders of this rebellion.
Since Owen had taken the initiative to challenge Elder Otto, seeking his own death, Leslie had now become Stanley’s prey.
If Leslie wanted to help Owen, she would have to get past him first!
“You can barely protect yourself, yet you still worry about others,” Stanley sneered, shifting most of his attention from Owen to Leslie.
Elder Otto had the absolute advantage.
Although Owen could jump around, he was nothing more than a clown!
There was no way he could be a match for Elder Otto. Next, it was Stanley’s turn to eliminate this rebel leader!
As Stanley prepared to strike, he suddenly saw a bright light erupt from Owen, who had been suppressed by Otto.
Numerous Judgment Light Swords surrounded Owen, forming a continuous flow that transformed into a giant sword several dozen meters long, aiming straight at Otto’s forehead.
After their previous encounters, Owen was well aware of Otto’s strength.
The gap between their abilities was too vast; he was no match for Otto.
If not for the support of his two [Orders], he couldn’t have lasted this long.
Rather than being gradually overwhelmed, Owen chose to attack to defend and continue the struggle.
He had sensed that King Aldric was about to enter the Council of Elders.
As long as he could hold out until then, the situation would completely reverse!
After all, the power of a nuclear explosion is beyond the imagination of these mages who have never experienced it!
When the Council of Elders’ stronghold is destroyed, not only will it mentally devastate Elder Otto, but Owen will also gain significant experience by eliminating the core elite of the Council of Elders.
At that point, it will be uncertain who will emerge victorious!
Faced with Owen’s sudden attack, Otto hesitated for a moment, but his expression quickly turned even more grim.
Although he had almost completely overwhelmed Owen, this insignificant insect had been jumping around in his hands for so long without being subdued, which greatly embarrassed him.
Now, Owen dared to take the initiative to attack, showing utter disrespect!
“Hmph! Such a trivial trick, how dare you use it before me! Break!”
Otto’s powerful voice spread out as his large axe descended fiercely, shattering the river of sword energy formed by Owen’s Judgment Light Sword into light particles.
However, before Otto could continue his assault, an illusory shadow of the Godslayer Staff appeared behind Owen, about ten meters tall, surrounded by flames and lightning, exuding a violent aura of destruction.
Through Armament Merge, the Godslayer Staff had integrated into Owen’s body, allowing him to master and utilize it to a deeper extent.
Now, by incorporating the two [Orders] into it, Owen endowed the Godslayer Staff with terrifying power capable of threatening a diamond-tier mage.
Even master-tier mages were wary of the [Orders] of heaven and earth, let alone Otto.
Indeed, as Owen wielded the Godslayer Staff and struck down, Otto’s gaze grew more serious, though his expression remained a cold smile.
If Owen continued to rely solely on the Order of Fire and Order of Thunder to dodge, Otto would need to exert more effort.
However, with Owen recklessly consuming his mana to engage in direct combat, the moment his mana was exhausted would be the moment of his demise.
Bang!
A light shadow appeared at Otto’s feet, followed by a dark shadow rushing out to collide with Owen’s Godslayer Staff.
Then, Otto’s true form once again traversed the space, and his large axe swung toward Owen.
Avatar of Light!
This was one of Otto’s trump cards, capable of creating a temporary clone.
Though not as powerful as his true form, it possessed five layers of his strength, enough to block Owen’s attack!
However, Owen was already aware of Otto’s various skills and trump cards. When the dark shadow appeared, Owen had already been on guard.
As Otto’s figure reappeared, Owen transformed into lightning, continuously widening the distance between them, while counting down in his mind for the final moments.
He sensed that King Aldric, carrying the treasure, was about to enter the Council of Elders!

…
Counting down silently, Owen pushed the Order of Thunder to its maximum, flickering like a streak of lightning in the air to distance himself from Otto.
But this time, Otto had shed his disdain. Even though Owen retreated swiftly and decisively, Otto gradually closed the gap.
“Escape? Do you think you can? After playing with you for so long, it’s time for you to die!”
The closer Otto got to Owen, the broader his smile became.
However, at that moment, Otto couldn’t tell if it was a trick of his mind, but he noticed a hint of a smile on Owen’s lips as well.
This sudden realization sparked an uneasy feeling in Otto’s heart!
For a mage of his level, he had developed a keen sense of foreboding.
This feeling hadn’t surfaced for a long time, but just now, when Owen smiled, it reappeared!
Something was wrong!
Something had to be wrong!
Could it be that Owen had activated something capable of threatening him?!
Otto’s mind churned with thoughts, and instead of advancing, he retreated, quickly increasing the distance between himself and Owen.
Meanwhile, a smile appeared on Owen’s face.
The countdown had ended!
