Chapter 170: Chapter170-MC John Encounters Again!
“Sister!”
As a descendant of Middle Earth House Kate, Rachel had been required from a young age to learn from her sister, Ymir.
Her sister had once led House Kate to a period of prominence, bringing glory to the family.
However, for reasons unknown, Ymir mysteriously disappeared, and without her, House Kate struggled in Middle Earth, falling into decline.
Despite this decline, Ymir remained a figure of reverence in the hearts of everyone in House Kate.
During Rachel’s darkest moments at Melodic Academy, her faith was fueled not only by her family’s expectations but also by the desire to restore her sister Ymir’s glory.
After all, Ymir had always been the role model Rachel aspired to emulate.
Rachel never imagined that outside of Middle Earth, in Kyrik, she would see her sister Ymir’s figure.
Although Ymir was only a spectral image and not her true form, the aura emanating from Ymir surpassed that of most mages and was far stronger than Owen.
If Ymir were to act, she could not only turn the tide of the situation today, defeating Owen but also make the name of House Kate resound throughout Middle Earth once more!
As Rachel recognized Ymir and called out, all the talents from Middle Earth and other gathered geniuses followed her gaze.
The Middle Earth talents were well aware of Rachel’s background. House Kate, though now a lower-tier family, had once been glorious.
The sister she spoke of immediately brought Ymir’s image to their minds.
However, the non-Middle Earth mages were unaware of who Rachel’s sister was, but they knew Rachel held a significant position within the Middle Earth group, and someone she called “sister” must be even more powerful.
They feared that today’s events would take yet another unexpected turn.
Under their watchful eyes, the crowd parted, revealing John and Ymir, who had been hiding among them.
The events that had transpired earlier were silently observed by both John and Ymir.
Owen’s formidable strength deeply shocked them both.
This made Ymir even more hesitant about whether to help Rachel, the most outstanding descendant of their family and her younger sister.
But before Ymir could decide, Rachel had already recognized her in the crowd.
At this moment, because Ymir was in her soul state, the other mages could only see John and could not perceive Ymir behind him.
Only a few master-tier mages could vaguely sense an obscure presence behind John, like a deep, unfathomable black hole, emitting a unique wave.
“Sister, Owen is too brutal! I beg you, sister, to strike him down and kill him!” Rachel’s mind power was strong, and as a descendant of House Kate, she could clearly see Ymir.
At this time, she struggled against the influence of the Slave Chain while loudly pleading for her sister Ymir to take action.
She could tell that Ymir was far stronger than Owen at this point.
Even the young man standing before her sister exuded an aura of strength and had a certain enigmatic charm.
Ymir’s heart trembled at Rachel’s plea. She could sense the terrifying slave energy emanating from the chain around Rachel’s neck.
If she didn’t intervene, it wouldn’t be long before Rachel’s spirit would fall, turning her into Owen’s eternal slave!
Rachel, such an exceptional descendant, had gathered the fortune of House Kate for centuries.
If she were to fall, House Kate might not see another prodigy for a long time.
However, the ring in Owen’s hand weighed heavily on Ymir’s heart, making it hard for her to muster the resolve to strike against him.
Standing before Ymir, John heard Rachel’s plea and found her increasingly pitiable, stirring a sense of sympathy within him.
Rachel was not only a noble beauty but also the top student at Melodic Academy, which held an undeniable attraction for John.
From the moment he saw her, a strong desire to possess her surged within him.
Seeing her being so enslaved by Owen only fueled his desire to play the hero and rescue her.
Although such an action might seem clichéd, he believed that saving Rachel from her plight would surely win her favor.
His future could be greatly transformed by the ties and conflicts that would arise with her.
Most importantly, her sister was his mentor.
With Ymir’s encouragement, he felt confident in his chances of winning over this proud beauty.
The opportunity to soar to new heights was right before him.
“Mentor, Owen is becoming more monstrous. Even before entering Middle Earth, he has already become nearly invincible. Today, in the presence of so many Middle Earth people, is the perfect time to kill him.” John sent a telepathic message to Ymir.
He had never forgotten his humiliating defeat at Owen’s hands and had been diligently training ever since, not daring to slacken for a moment.
Now, in the presence of so many onlookers, with his mentor’s covert assistance, Owen would surely meet his end!
Not only could he reclaim the dignity he had lost to Owen, but he could also rise by stepping on Owen’s reputation, becoming the number one prodigy outside of Middle Earth.
Ymir frowned deeply. She knew all too well John’s hatred and desire to kill Owen. However, she couldn’t bring herself to act.
So, despite John’s and Rachel’s pleas, Ymir sighed and retreated into a necklace, refusing to come out, pretending she had never been there.
“Sister! Owen not only killed Kaldan of Pyrothrone Kingdom but also slaughtered the Protectors of many Middle Earth geniuses. He is bloodthirsty and ruthless, like a demon king. Now he’s attacking us again. If he enters Middle Earth, he will be a disaster!” Rachel’s anxiety grew as Ymir remained silent. She quickly spoke, accusing Owen of his cruelty.
Owen chuckled at this and couldn’t help but respond, “You speak so self-righteously, but wasn’t it you people from Middle Earth who attacked me first? I was merely defending myself. Now that you can’t win, you start spewing nonsense and slandering me? Is this what Middle Earth is about? Is this what Middle Earth’s so-called geniuses are?”
Owen’s eyes grew cold. He had already suspected that Rachel and John were birds of a feather. When they had the power, they talked about strength. When they didn’t, they began to preach about morals. Disgusting!
Not wanting to waste any more words with Rachel, Owen waved his hand, intending to forcibly take her away. Once the Slave Chain enslaved her spirit, let’s see how much longer she would continue to cry out.
“Stop!” But at that moment, John suddenly leaped into the air, blocking Owen’s path.
“You murderous demon, how dare you continue to bark here? Release Rachel, the top student, now, or today we fight to the death!” At this moment, John stood with a righteous air, radiating a heavy and powerful magical aura that faintly locked onto Owen.
Owen had already noticed John earlier but hadn’t expected him to jump out so directly. But it didn’t matter.
As the protagonist of the anime, John was full of fate points, something Owen had long coveted.
“John! Isn’t he the dark horse who defeated Azure Kingdom’s Princess Marry?”
“I’ve heard of him. Princess Marry, such a prodigy, couldn’t last ten moves against him. He’s one of the top five on the Genius Leaderboard in Academy City!”
As John appeared and blocked Owen’s path, many of the mages present recognized him, feeling a bit startled as they began to discuss him.
Seeing that many had recognized him, John couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride. Even though Owen had overshadowed him, he was still a prominent figure among the prodigies!
However, just as his pride was rising, the subsequent remarks from the crowd shattered it into pieces.
“But I think he lost to Owen before, didn’t he? And it seemed like a pretty bad loss.”
“Yeah, he was at a higher level than Owen and still lost badly. Now his level is lower than Owen’s. If he challenges Owen again, he’s likely to lose miserably.”
“To keep fighting despite repeated defeats, that’s something commendable. Losing to Owen doesn’t really bring shame.”
