Chapter 194: Chapter194-Death of the Ghost General
In the cold and eerie mausoleum hall, the red-clad female corpse, now floating in midair, moved rapidly toward Owen with each step, intent on hunting him down.
The chilling aura emanating from her body froze the ground beneath her feet, as though an ice goddess had descended upon the world.
Feeling the cold emanating behind them, both Owen and Diana grew tense.
This red-clad corpse had already reached the master-tier level, exuding an oppressive aura. They could both sense the danger she posed. Even more concerning, she had referred to herself as a princess.
It was highly likely that she was the daughter of the Kyrik Founder King, and with such a background, she would be extremely troublesome to deal with!
If they alerted the Founder King, their situation would become far more dangerous and dire.
However, blocking their escape were the four ghost generals who had suddenly appeared at the exit.
They stood like impenetrable walls, exuding a manic, blood-red energy, cutting off their retreat.
“We sensed something unusual earlier, but we didn’t expect two rats to sneak in here and disturb Princess Victoria’s slumber!”
The four ghost generals glared down at Owen and Diana, their expressions filled with a murderous intent so palpable it almost took physical form.
As the guardians of this place, their duty was not only to protect the Founder King but also to guard the princess, who was the Founder King’s most beloved daughter.
“Thieves! Return the gem to me, now!”
“And you—who are you? How dare you lay hands on me! Do you even know that not even my father ever struck me?”
Seeing Owen and Diana blocked by the four ghost generals, Princess Victoria, still dressed in her red gown, was furious.
She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Owen.
Though she had been asleep earlier, she clearly remembered that it was this annoying boy who had struck her!
As Princess Victoria’s gaze locked onto Owen, so did the auras of the four ghost generals.
Especially when they noticed the large bump on Princess Victoria’s forehead, their fury surged even more.
It was their duty to protect the princess, and now that she had been harmed, they had failed.
This was a grave dishonor to the proud ghost generals, like a slap in the face.
“Kill!”
In an instant, their cold, merciless killing intent materialized like invisible blades, slashing toward Owen.
Being targeted by five master-tier mages at once—Princess Victoria and the four ghost generals—would make even someone as battle-hardened as Owen feel the immense pressure.
These five master-tier mages were far from ordinary. The auras they emitted were leagues beyond those of the master-tier Protectors from Middle Earth.
Any one of them could easily annihilate a Middle Earth Protector.
Now that all five were focusing on him, Owen felt as though mountains were pressing down on him, causing his bones to creak under the strain.
Diana, standing beside Owen, had long since lost her usual playful demeanor, her expression now filled with seriousness.
Just from enduring the residual auras of the five master-tier mages, her own mana circulation had slowed significantly, making it clear how overwhelming their power was.
It was hard to imagine how much pressure Owen was enduring while directly confronting the auras of these five master-tier mages!
Yet, despite her worries, Diana noticed that while Owen’s expression was serious, his own aura was not collapsing.
He was resisting the overwhelming pressure from all five master-tier mages!
Five master-tier mages couldn’t suppress Owen!
Diana was astonished.
Even though she had great confidence in her own abilities, she knew that she would be completely overwhelmed by these five powerful mages.
She wouldn’t even stand a chance.
“No wonder my sister and the academy acknowledge him. He truly is something else.”
Diana murmured in admiration, her eyes flashing mischievously as she seemed to think of something. A sly smile crept across her face.
“This was your mess to begin with, so let’s see how far you can go.”
As soon as she said this, a mysterious light enveloped Diana, and a strange array of symbols surrounded her.
In the next moment, she vanished from the spot, her presence completely disappearing as well.
At the same time that Diana disappeared, the five master-tier mages locked onto Owen and launched their attacks!
Among them, Princess Victoria was the strongest, exuding the aura of an ice goddess.
As her hand seals formed, a swirling snowstorm erupted, twisting into a vortex that shot directly at Owen.
The vortex’s terrifying pull distorted the space around it, making it unstable.
Ice Snow Whirlwind!
This was one of Princess Victoria’s most powerful spells, capable of freezing everything within a radius of dozens of miles.
Even master-tier mages would be turned into ice statues, leaving them at her mercy!
“Heavenly Ghost Devours the Sun!”
“Nether Hell Slash!”
“Bone Inferno!”
“Endless Sea of Blood!”
As Princess Victoria unleashed her attack, the four ghost generals also followed suit, using their signature techniques.
In an instant, ghostly wails filled the air, and the hall was consumed by a chilling atmosphere as the temperature plummeted.
In the blink of an eye, the hall was transformed into a hellish scene, filled with blood, corpses, and haunting imagery.
These four ghost generals were once Kyrik’s mightiest warriors, standing at the pinnacle of master-tier mages.
Ordinary master-tier mages wouldn’t last a single move against them.
After being transformed into mausoleum guardians by the Founder King, their physical strength, mental fortitude, and overall power had all increased drastically.
They no longer feared death or fatigue and felt no pain.
Linked together by a shared mind, they had become unparalleled warriors.
Boom!
As the five master-tier mages attacked with full force, a terrifying shockwave spread in all directions.
The entire hall shook violently, and deafening crashes echoed throughout.
The powerful magic slammed into Owen, swallowing him up.
The freezing winds of the snowstorm clung to Owen, encasing him in ice as he was suspended in midair.
Then, the chaotic barrage of attacks rained down on the frozen Owen, shattering the ice encasing him.
Cracks quickly spread across the ice, and within moments, it crumbled into dust.
Seeing Owen’s form disappear, the four ghost generals smirked coldly. Any who dared trespass in the mausoleum was bound to die!
Now that they had reduced Owen to dust, they could at least redeem themselves for their earlier failure. This would be enough to report to their emperor.
However, while the ghost generals were feeling relieved, Princess Victoria scanned the empty hall with a frown, sensing that something was off.
“Be careful, that scoundrel isn’t dead yet!”
Suddenly, Princess Victoria’s pupils dilated as she cried out in alarm.
The four ghost generals quickly followed her gaze, focusing on the area where the ice had just shattered.
There, the air began to writhe strangely, like dough being kneaded.
Then, two blinding red lights appeared, like two falling suns from the horizon, burning through the air before slamming into one of the ghost generals.
This was none other than the second skill of the Spear of Longinus that Owen had just unlocked: Fallen Sun!
The unexpected attack caught the four ghost generals off guard.
Their pupils contracted in shock, and cold sweat broke out across their backs.
The general hit by the two burning suns could only watch in horror as his body, mana, and flesh melted into molten lava, dissolving into black smoke.
Sizzle…
In a matter of moments, the once-towering figure had been reduced to charred remains, his once-powerful aura now dissipated.
“General Grimblade!”
As General Grimblade’s life force quickly faded, the remaining three ghost generals and Princess Victoria gasped in disbelief.
General Grimblade, whose power was equal to theirs, had been killed in a single strike by Owen’s sudden assault!
How had this guy survived their combined attack?
And more importantly, how was he, a mere diamond-tier mage, able to unleash such devastating power?
At that moment, the shocked ghost generals and princess stared at Owen, their mouths agape, unable to believe what they were seeing.
