Chapter 171: Chapter171-Seeing Me is Like Seeing a God
The mocking voices of the crowd converged, causing John’s face to twitch as he felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.
Why did everyone think he was inferior to Owen?
Why was Owen celebrated as a genius while he was just a stepping stone?
From his three years of bitter training to the intense battles against spellbeasts in Kyrik, all of it was meant to bring him fame and respect as a brilliant talent.
He had originally planned to amaze everyone during the three-year agreement and had already shaken the Azure Kingdom, but Owen had ruthlessly crushed him into the dirt. This grudge had always lingered in his heart.
Although this moment had come somewhat suddenly, John had made extensive preparations to defeat Owen and wash away his shame.
In front of the Middle Earth prodigies and the many continental mages gathered here, he was determined to kill Owen!
If he could defeat Owen, his name would not only spread across the continent but might even reach Middle Earth!
“Owen, this time, your death has come!”
Anger flared in John’s eyes as his diamond-tier level 1 aura surged, spreading like molten lava, staining the air a deep, dark purple.
The pressure from this aura was so immense that the air crackled, and black cracks appeared and spread in the void.
The mages present looked at the aura surrounding John with astonishment, feeling an overwhelming pressure that forced them to step back involuntarily.
To the mages of the continent, John was not an unknown figure.
On the contrary, his three-year agreement and his victory over Princess Marry had made him a prominent figure.
Unfortunately, his humiliating defeat at Owen’s hands had severely damaged his reputation.
After all, to most mages, the victor becomes the king, and no one sings praises for the loser; they only remember the unparalleled king.
However, at this moment, the terrifying aura emanating from John gave them the illusion that they were facing the Dragon Princess again.
Despite being just diamond-tier level 1, John’s aura was as powerful as that of a master-tier mage. John was indeed terrifying!
No wonder he dared to stand up and challenge Owen at this time!
The prodigies from Middle Earth, including Rachel, the Dragon Princess, and Henry, knew little about John.
But judging by the aura he was emitting, this mage from a barren land possessed strength and talent that surpassed most Middle Earth prodigies, approaching the level of the top-tier geniuses.
If he could defeat Owen this time, John would rank among the top prodigies of Middle Earth.
Especially Rachel, who looked at John with deep seriousness.
She didn’t know much about John, but she knew her sister very well.
If Ymir was secretly assisting him, John’s talent must be extraordinary.
Otherwise, with Ymir’s pride, she wouldn’t voluntarily help or guide anyone.
Most importantly, Ymir, for some reason, didn’t want to act and was hiding in the necklace. But John, despite being far below Owen in level, still stood up without hesitation.
As the crowd watched, the dark purple aura surrounding John gradually condensed into intricate, palm-sized runes as he formed hand seals.
These runes were extremely complex and, once they appeared, radiated a powerful suppressive aura that made mountains and all living things tremble slightly in their presence.
While John was gathering his strength, Owen’s gaze was fully focused on him.
Owen had seen this technique from John before and knew it to be a very special method in the original anime.
Previously, John’s aura had been golden, but now it had turned dark purple, indicating that he had advanced his mastery of this special rune magic.
As Owen watched calmly, John, who had been ready to strike for some time, rapidly changed his hand seals, sending the runes forward like shooting stars.
They tore through the air with a screeching noise and dazzling sparks.
“This master-tier magic skill has been prepared for you for a long time!” John declared.
This rune magic was divided into three levels.
The first level, which John had previously demonstrated, was the Mountain Rune, possessing a crushing impact as heavy as a thousand tons.
Even the most physically robust spellbeasts would be pulverized by the Mountain Rune’s crushing force.
The second level, the Sea Rune, had a relentless, wave-like corrosive force.
Now, John was approaching the third level, combining the Mountain and Sea Runes, which could kill even a master-tier mage.
Boom!
The dark purple runes reached Owen in an instant, filling the air with a sound like a collapsing mountain or surging sea, resonating deeply within the heart, distorting the void, and crashing fiercely onto Owen, resulting in a series of continuous booms.
As these booms echoed, a deep black light glowed around Owen’s body.
This was the light emitted by the Fallen Angel set and the activated Obsidify.
Although John’s attack was powerful, the Fallen Angel set could withstand attacks from master-tier magic.
When the runes hit the black light, they were quickly devoured as if sinking into the sea.
Seeing this, John’s brows furrowed.
His supposedly trump card technique had been so easily blocked by Owen’s ordinary defense?
It didn’t even pose a threat to him? Was the gap between him and Owen now this vast?
John’s face immediately darkened.
“Use whatever tricks you have. Show me what you’ve got. I don’t believe this is your final move,” Owen taunted, waving his hand dismissively after blocking John’s attack with the Fallen Angel set.
John, despite being the original protagonist, was favored by fate and had Ymir’s support.
After all his intense training in Kyrik, his strength must have undergone a dramatic transformation.
Based on Owen’s understanding of the system, the stronger John was, the greater the benefits Owen would reap from defeating him.
Therefore, Owen didn’t plan to crush him right away. He wanted to see how far John had grown.
Owen’s taunting words felt like a slap in the face to John, shattering his pride and dignity!
“Owen, there’s always someone stronger out there, and you’re too arrogant!” John glared at Owen, took a deep breath to suppress his agitation, and then a pale light began to radiate from his body, making him look like an indestructible stone statue.
Under this light, his body even appeared somewhat translucent, gleaming with a peculiar radiance.
White King Form!
This was an extremely powerful dark magic technique. Once activated, the body became as hard as diamond, nearly impossible to damage.
Additionally, reaction speed and mana sensitivity would increase significantly, temporarily boosting him from diamond-tier level 1 to diamond-tier level 5!
With this dark magic, he could temporarily increase his level by four!
The mages watching couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
After all, to most continental mages, diamond-tier was already the pinnacle of power!
Temporarily boosting one’s level by four was almost unheard of!
Even the Middle Earth prodigies were stunned by the transformation in John’s body.
With their extensive knowledge, they quickly recognized that this dark magic technique was incredibly rare and powerful, even in Middle Earth.
With the power of this technique, John’s combat strength had risen to the point where he could face a master-tier mage directly!
Bang!
The sudden surge in strength rekindled John’s confidence, and he charged at Owen with renewed determination.
His elbows, fists, and feet all transformed into the most ruthless weapons, aiming straight for Owen’s vital points.
Owen remained unafraid, his body, strengthened by Obsidify, as tough as metal, directly clashing with John’s attacks!
Clang, clang, clang!
The sound of metal striking metal rang out continuously as countless sparks flew from their collisions, burning through the void and emitting a pungent smell of scorched air.
After dozens of fierce and brutal exchanges, John suddenly coughed up blood and was sent flying back.
Owen’s punch had landed squarely on his chest, bending him like a shrimp and sending him hurtling backward, spitting blood and staining his chest red.
The once-high aura quickly diminished under Owen’s blow.
