Chapter 265: Chapter262-Encountering the Founding King Again
Hearing that Elysia had almost been killed by Raymond, the Archdemon’s expression, already growing colder, was suddenly filled with murderous intent, and even the skies seemed to change color.
However, she was still gravely wounded. The intense surge of emotion tore open her recently healed injuries, staining the bandages on her body with fresh blood.
Owen gently stroked the Archdemon’s back, trying to calm her turbulent emotions. He spoke softly:
“Leave this matter to me.”
Then, Owen turned to Elysia, a puzzled look on his face.
“Raymond should only be a God-Tier Mage, yet you’ve been at the God King level for many years. How did he manage to force you into such a state?”
In the Kyrik Mausoleum, Raymond had attacked him from afar.
He displayed the terrifying power of a God-Tier Mage. At that time, Owen had been no match for him and had only managed to fend off his deadly strike by activating the newly unlocked Godslayer Array.
Logically, Raymond shouldn’t be able to stand up to Elysia.
Elysia frowned slightly as she stared at Owen.
“Where did you get your information? Over the years, with the aid of the Fate Crystal, he has long since broken through to the God King level. Moreover, he possesses a tremendously powerful magical weapon…”
Elysia briefly explained what had happened to the Archdemon and Owen.
If Raymond hadn’t wielded a bizarre spear that suppressed everything and devoured all, she might not have been defeated. But that spear was too strange, and even she was completely overwhelmed.
After listening, Owen’s attention instead focused on the valley before them.
Based on his understanding of Raymond, he wasn’t someone who would easily relinquish his prize. Yet, after Elysia escaped here, Raymond chose to leave instead.
Thinking back to the peculiarities they had encountered before entering this mountain range, he grew increasingly certain that there was something hidden within these mountains.
But under his scrutiny, everything about the mountain range seemed normal, with no visible anomalies.
For now, he could only set his thoughts aside. “I’ll get you out of here first.”
As he spoke, he stepped forward, enduring the increasingly terrifying pressure of the valley as he approached.
“With your current strength, you’d better not come in here. This pressure will crush you into pulp!”
Seeing that Owen was really planning to enter and rescue her, Elysia felt a flash of warmth in her heart, but mostly she wanted to warn him.
Even in her current state, she found it difficult to endure the valley’s oppressive force and was trapped here. Owen was just a Grandmaster-Tier Mage…
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she saw Owen stepping into the valley, his body seemingly withstanding the ever-increasing pressure.
The force that had nearly shattered every bone in her body merely caused Owen’s shoulders to slump slightly before he quickly adjusted and stood tall again, as if the pressure had little effect on him.
Elysia blinked in disbelief. Owen seemed increasingly enigmatic, as if he truly possessed the bearing of a Godslayer Staff wielder.
“What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and get out of here.”
Reaching Elysia’s side, Owen immediately activated the Order of Life, helping her recover her vitality and wounds. Seeing her staring at him in a daze, he urged her impatiently.
Only then did Elysia snap out of it. Feeling her injuries healing at a visible rate, her condition rapidly improved from its initial decline, surprising her even more.
She had been trapped in this valley for a long time, trying to heal herself.
But the wounds inflicted by that magical spear were too peculiar, making regular healing methods ineffective.
Yet Owen had easily begun healing her injuries, and the familiar Order fluctuations within his mana left her even more stunned.
Order of Life?!
This guy really was different from other mages.
Taking a deep breath, feeling her strength gradually return, Elysia followed the mana-formed path Owen created and walked out of the valley.
Owen moved to follow her out, but just as he was about to step away, he suddenly sensed something. A dense spiritual wave emanated from him, spreading upwards.
Although the gray mist blocked his perception of distant areas, in his overhead view, he noticed that the mountain range within the Demon Abyss bore a strange resemblance to a humanoid figure.
It was as if an unimaginably colossal giant lay here, and over countless years, it had transformed into a mountain range.
The moment this thought surfaced, it felt like an indelible echo in his mind, reverberating again and again.
At the same time, the pressure in the valley seemed to become aware of something, and it converged toward Owen like flowing water, forming a faint black mark on his brow.
The mark resembled a dim star, and as it condensed, Owen vaguely saw a towering figure standing with its feet on the ground and its head in the sky, engaged in combat with some terrifying entity.
In the end, this colossal figure fell here.
The memory was incredibly hazy, as if it had been eroded by the flow of countless ages. But after glimpsing this brief image, Owen felt a chill run through his limbs.
This mountain range was definitely the remains of an ancient, supreme being.
And that magnificent figure had not truly perished—it was still slumbering here!
Becoming more and more convinced of this, Owen felt the pressure around him increase dramatically, as if some unknown entity was silently watching him.
He quickly picked up his pace. After leaving the valley, he turned to Elysia.
“Lead the way. It’s time to settle my grudge with Raymond.”
At that moment, he understood why Raymond dared not approach here—he feared the terrifying presence lying dormant in the mountains.
Owen was wary of it too and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
“You’re planning to settle things with Raymond with your current strength? Save it. Wait until my sister and I recover our strength before taking him on.”
Elysia rejected Owen’s suggestion.
Raymond was hateful and deserved to die, but his power was overwhelming. Even at her peak, she couldn’t defeat him, let alone Owen.
“Don’t worry, sister. I know Owen’s strength. Just let him go.”
Seeing Owen’s confidence, the Archdemon smiled softly.
She trusted Owen completely.
“Sister, are you serious? What did he do to make you so smitten?”
Elysia clung to the Archdemon’s arm, looking at her in disbelief.
CREATORS’ THOUGHTS

This was so unlike her sister.
“You silly girl, stop making wild guesses. Owen is far more powerful than you think. He’s the talk of Middle Earth right now. You’ll see once you leave this place.”
The Archdemon lightly patted Elysia’s hand.
Elysia thought for a moment, then nodded.
“Fine, follow me. If things go south, my sister and I will cover your retreat.”
With that, she took the Archdemon’s hand and led the way to the other side of the mountains.
Owen watched as Elysia led the Archdemon away, sensing a hint of an overprotective sister complex.
With Elysia guiding them, they quickly arrived at the outer edge of a valley filled with a dense, vibrant life force.
The valley was teeming with lush magical plants, glowing softly and gathering the surrounding mana.
As the three of them approached, the elemental energy in their bodies grew lively.
Especially for the Archdemon and Elysia, just taking a deep breath accelerated the healing of their wounds.
Clearly, the Fate Crystal was inside this valley!
“Well, well, the Fate Crystal is already mine. Still clinging to hope?”
Just as Elysia prepared to move forward, a cold, imperious voice echoed out from the valley. The next moment, a figure wearing a crown and holding a long spear appeared at the valley’s entrance.
His aura was overwhelming, filled with battle intent. Though his hair was white, his spirit was vigorous, and a life-force dragon seemed to coil around his body.
Simply standing there, he felt like an insurmountable mountain, exerting immense pressure.
“Raymond!”
Enemies meeting face-to-face ignited a surge of rage within Elysia. She glared at him, her killing intent spiking.
“Heh, you’ve brought reinforcements? His level seems unfathomable, yet he looks even weaker than you.”
Raymond glanced at the Archdemon beside her. At first, he was startled, but he quickly sneered.
