Chapter 266: Chapter263-Spare of War God — Capable of Slaying All Foes
The terrifying aura of the Archdemon made Raymond instinctively wary, but her heavily injured state did not give off any sense of real danger.
Instead, his Spare of War God began to tremble lightly, transmitting a craving that he had never felt before.
It was as if slaying the Archdemon would bring him immense benefits!
This was the first time he’d experienced such a sensation since acquiring the Spare of War God.
“Well, thank you for delivering fresh blood to me. My spear has been thirsting for too long!”
He licked his lips, gripping his spear tightly as the aura around him surged upward.
However, just then, a voice brimming with murderous intent suddenly echoed in his ears, reverberating through his mind:
“Heh, Raymond, or should I call you the Founding Emperor of Kyrik, do you remember me?”
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Raymond immediately turned in its direction and saw Owen walking step by step towards the valley.
“Owen?!”
With just a glance, Raymond recognized Owen, and a fire of killing intent burned in his eyes, distorting the surrounding void.
He would never forget the scenes that took place in the mausoleum.
That damn rat had dared to trespass in his mausoleum, awaken his cherished princess, and even steal the ruby he had prepared for her.
Utterly unforgivable!
Later, when he tried to attack from afar, Owen had continued to act arrogantly, not taking him seriously, and had even managed to wound him.
He was a God King-Tier Mage, and the Emperor of Kyrik!
A supreme being!
Though it was only a minor wound, it was a humiliation he had never experienced before!
“I had planned to come looking for you, but you’ve delivered yourself right into my hands! Good, good, good! Today will be a day of double celebration!”
Raymond’s grin turned savage as he fixed his gaze on Owen, a thrill of satisfaction flooding him as he anticipated washing away the stain on his honor. His long white hair danced wildly in the air despite the absence of wind.
“Shameless boasting! A coward who has hidden away for centuries dares to bark in front of me?”
Owen stepped forward fearlessly, a domineering aura surging forth like a fierce tiger, clashing with Raymond’s presence.
Kyrik and the Azure Kingdom had long been archenemies. Raymond had launched several attacks on the Azure Kingdom before, and Owen had harbored the intent to kill him for some time.
Now that they had met here, there was no way he would let Raymond go!
Seeing the intense standoff between Owen and Raymond, a look of worry crossed Elysia’s face.
Raymond was, after all, a God King, while Owen was merely a Grandmaster-Tier Mage. There was a gap of three major tiers between them: Sage-Tier, God-Tier, and God King.
Throughout history, only the most talented of the talented could even hope to fight across a single major tier, marking them as prodigies of their era.
As for those who could fight across two major tiers, they were as rare as phoenix feathers, each leaving a significant mark on history.
And now, Owen was challenging someone three tiers above him!
This was unprecedented!
Initially, she had no faith in this battle, and now her worries only deepened as she turned to look at her sister.
However, the Archdemon did not show any signs of worry. Instead, she looked calmly at Owen’s back, as if she wasn’t surprised by the situation at all and harbored no doubt or concern.
Seeing her sister’s confident expression, Elysia couldn’t help but relax a little, turning her gaze back to Owen.
She was curious—what made this Owen so exceptional that he dared to challenge a God King three tiers above him?
As her gaze settled on Owen, he charged toward Raymond, a dark golden light swirling in his hand. The Godslayer Staff appeared in his grasp, radiating an aura of thunder and flames.
“Last time, you caught me off guard. Do you think you’ll have another chance now that you’re facing me directly?”
Owen’s bold move infuriated Raymond even more. He thrust the Spare of War God forward, the spear tearing through the void at a speed that seemed imperceptible, aiming directly at Owen’s chest.
The Spare of War God was a savage and merciless celestial weapon. If it struck a target, it would absorb the victim’s blood and mana, leaving them in a state of perpetual weakness until they were completely devoured by the spear.
However, Owen was well aware of the Spare of War God’s nature. Although it wasn’t as well-known as the Godslayer Staff, it was still a formidable celestial weapon.
As the spear shot forward, Owen swung his staff, lightning and flames intertwining, explosive power colliding head-on with the attack, erupting into a violent detonation.
The powerful shockwave spread out, almost tearing the flesh of Raymond’s hands. He staggered back a few steps, staring at Owen in disbelief.
Even though he hadn’t used any special skills, that strike had been executed with his full power. Even other God King-Tier Mages would have been severely injured by it.
But not only had Owen withstood the strike, the shockwave he sent back was so powerful that even Raymond found it hard to endure.
This counterattack was due to the skill Slaying God.
Caught off guard, Raymond hesitated, and Owen pressed the advantage. Mana coalesced around his staff, compressing until it resembled a highly volatile explosive, filled with destructive power that made the void tremble.
Owen knew that his ability to contend with a God King-level opponent hinged on the Godslayer Staff.
The Spare of War God in Raymond’s hands was not to be underestimated. It undoubtedly possessed powerful abilities, making it impossible to suppress Raymond as he had done before.
He had to capitalize on Raymond’s initial contempt to end the fight swiftly. If he became mired in a prolonged battle, things would turn against him.
Owen unleashed his attack with unrelenting ferocity. Enraged, Raymond’s body shook with fury as the Spare of War God emitted a blinding cold light, and illusory scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared as he thrust his spear.
Boom!
The two clashed fiercely, the sound of their battle echoing like thunder as the entire void around them collapsed and warped. The shockwaves of their fight devastated the valley, shattering mountains and breaking rivers.
Watching the evenly matched battle, Elysia’s jaw dropped in shock.
CREATORS’ THOUGHTS

From what she could see, Owen and Raymond were fighting on par, and Owen actually possessed the combat power of a God King!
Moreover, Owen was the one initiating attacks!
He was vaguely gaining the upper hand!
Was he really a Grandmaster-Tier Mage?
Elysia’s changing expression was exactly what the Archdemon had expected. She gently patted Elysia’s hand.
“Don’t worry. Trust Owen. He’s faced far more powerful enemies and survived far more dangerous situations.”
As the two sisters spoke softly, Owen and Raymond exchanged hundreds of blows at lightning speed, the battle entering a fever pitch.
Seeing Owen growing stronger as the fight continued, Raymond roared angrily, thrusting his spear to force Owen back.
“I’ve underestimated you. But no matter how you struggle, you’ll still fall by my hand!”
As he spoke, his spear surged with ancient, majestic battle intent, transforming the surrounding space into a brutal battlefield littered with corpses!
“War God’s Skill—Taking the Heads of a Thousand Armies!”
Raymond roared, and countless soldiers on the spectral battlefield raised their bloodstained weapons, their battle intent condensing onto his spear until it shone with an invincible brilliance!
Owen’s heart sank.
Indeed, the Spare of War God, as a famous celestial weapon, possessed terrifying divine abilities.
Although it was not on par with the Godslayer Staff, it was still exceedingly fearsome!
As the spear locked onto him, Owen felt as if his body were being gnawed at by thousands of ants, aching and weakening.
Immediately, Owen activated the Supreme Sword, unleashing a slash.
The sword’s energy tore through the sky like a river of light, shattering the void, filling the air with a chaotic aura that sundered heaven and earth.
In an instant, the two divine skills collided. The battle-enhanced spear seemed to draw on an endless reserve of power, resisting the sword energy as the two forces clashed fiercely.
Gradually, the relentless spear’s energy began to wear down the surging sword aura.
Finally, when both forces reached their peak, the void itself fractured, swallowing the clashing energies and nullifying them.
Seeing Owen block his War God’s Skill, Raymond’s expression grew truly serious.
Ever since he had broken through to the God King-Tier with the Spare of War God, his unstoppable divine skill had never been thwarted like this!
“To think you could withstand that move… No wonder you dared to provoke me. But unfortunately, this is only the beginning!”
