Chapter 30: Chapter30-Will the Boy Meets the Girl?
Meanwhile, in the Duke’s mansion, Leslie also sensed the chaotic disturbance.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, but her expression remained calm.
From the moment Owen decided to participate in the duel, she had suspected that he had a plan to win and had been keeping a close eye on his every move.
Now, it seemed her intuition was spot on.
“Gather all the information we have on Owen and organize it for me. After this duel, I want to meet him personally,” Leslie said slowly, her eyes flickering for a moment.
In the dark corner, Charlotte immediately nodded and left.
Before the duel began, she had already known the outcome from her lady’s predictions.
She was mentally prepared, but she had not expected Owen to unleash such terrifying power!
This Owen had truly been underestimated!
…
Outside the Royal Arena.
John, who hurried over, along with Ymir inside the necklace on his chest, squinted at the dazzling cross, their expressions exceptionally grim.
“Damn it! That cursed Owen, he snatched the Order of Thunder! That was supposed to be mine!”
“He’s mastered both the Order of Thunder and the Order of Fire and wields them with such proficiency. Taking them from him will be extremely difficult,” Ymir, aware of John’s jealousy, disappointment, and anger, continued to comfort him.
“Although [Orders] are incredibly powerful and important, I have a family secret spell whose power is not weak at all. If you practice it diligently, your combat strength will undoubtedly increase significantly!”
Hearing Ymir’s promise, John finally calmed down a bit.
Meanwhile, as the massive explosion in the sky gradually subsided, Owen heard the system’s voice.
“Killed Tony, gained 600 fate points!”
Owen glanced at his total, now 2450 fate points!
At that moment, his tier suddenly began to rise!
Two upgrade lights flashed consecutively.
His level increased directly from silver-tier level 7 to silver-tier level 9!
Excited, Owen quickly opened his attribute panel.
Name: Owen
Level: silver-tier level 9
Talents: Order of Merlin, Starlit level 2
Exp: 0/4800000
Skills: Mana Void, Supreme Sword, Obsidify level 2, Judgment Light Sword, Minor Healing, Order Fusion Spell, Order of Thunder Usage Skill, Order of Fire Usage Skill.
Weapon: Godslayer Staff (1/7)
Luck: 90 (max 100)
Fate Points: 2450
As Owen was about to close the panel, he noticed the Fate Store flashing.
Curious, he opened it and found that a new item had been unlocked—the Mini Nuke!
“Mini Nuke?!”
Owen’s pupils contracted, thinking he must have seen something wrong. But after carefully reading it for a moment, the words didn’t change.
It really was a nuclear bomb!
But this was clearly a magical world!
How could there be something modern?
After pondering for a moment, Owen recalled from the original anime that [Orders] represented various elements that make up the world.
However, they weren’t called Elemental of Thunder or Elemental of Fire because each [Order] represented a rule beyond the element itself!
Moreover, different [Orders] combined would create new rules!
For example, the fusion of the Order of Thunder and the Order of Fire gave him the power of explosions, which updated the Fate Store with a nuclear bomb.
However, the original anime never mentioned any connection between this world and the real world.
First, it was the mummy, and now it’s the nuclear bomb. Owen felt that this world might hold more secrets.
Stopping his thoughts there, he considered the power of the Mini Nuke, capable of destroying a small city—a true weapon of mass destruction!
Thus, Owen decisively purchased it!
After deducting 1000 fate points, Owen found himself holding a small white cross, about the size of a thumb. It was quite tiny.
If not for the system prompt confirming the Mini Nuke purchase, Owen would have thought he had bought the wrong item.
The Mini Nuke was really that small.
But considering the system’s products are always top-notch, Owen felt reassured and placed the white cross—or rather, the Mini Nuke—close to his chest.
“Genius and madness are truly separated by a thin line. Fusing two [Orders] together—such a crazy act only a madman would attempt, yet he succeeded!”
“Though extremely dangerous, the power is terrifying. Even Tony, with his half-step platinum-tier strength, had no resistance!”
“Indeed, if Owen hadn’t controlled the explosion in mid-air, we would all have perished if it had detonated in the Royal Arena.”
As the explosion from the cross gradually subsided, the mages around were filled with awe and began to discuss fervently.
Their gazes toward Owen were now filled with respect and apprehension.
Even the elder mages, who had previously looked down on Owen, now saw him in a new light.
Owen had the power to kill Tony in one move, which meant he could potentially defeat, or even kill, any of these elder mages.
“Master Owen!”
As Owen was putting away the white cross, Edward, who had been in the corner, suddenly looked at him with fervent eyes, waving his quill.
“Master Owen, I have recorded your magnificent display, complete with illustrations. I just need to know, what is the name of the move you used to fuse two [Orders] and create that terrifying attack?”
Edward wanted to document the event in great detail, as it was bound to be recorded in history.
Other mages, remembering the explosion caused by Owen’s move, shivered slightly and also looked at Owen with curiosity.
Owen thought for a moment.
The chaotic power produced by fusing the Order of Thunder and the Order of Fire was like a powerful explosive.
So, he casually said, “Let’s call it TNT.”
“TNT?”
Edward murmured the name a few times, not quite understanding its meaning.
The other mages looked at each other, bewildered.
While they recognized each character, they were at a loss when they saw them together.
Edward glanced at the confused crowd, then back at the confident Owen, and proceeded to write it down in his book.
“Master Owen, it’s recorded. Thank you for your support of Academy City!”
Although they didn’t understand why Owen chose such an odd name, “TNT” sounded impressive enough.
“This Owen is truly fascinating. His talent and strength are unmatched, and his thinking is unique…”
In the VIP section, Princess Marry’s haughty expression softened considerably as she gazed at Owen.
She had seen and heard of many prodigious talents, but they all paled in comparison to Owen.
Even she felt ordinary in his presence.
No wonder her father had considered marrying her to him.
While Marry’s view of Owen changed, Owen walked slowly toward Duke Charles in the VIP section and bowed slightly.
“Your Grace.”
Duke Charles, just recovering from his earlier shock, saw Owen approaching to greet him.
He met Owen’s eyes calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Becoming increasingly satisfied with Owen, Duke Charles smiled warmly.
“Owen, did you encounter any trouble during your trip to Pharaoh’s Tower? Were you injured?”
He looked at Owen with genuine concern, already considering him his son-in-law.
After a few more polite exchanges, Duke Charles, aware of the many complex gazes around them, continued:
“Today’s duel was arduous. You should rest at the duke’s mansion. Your meeting with Leslie has been delayed for too long. Come with me to the mansion.”
Owen thought for a moment and then nodded.
Leslie had hidden her true power and ambition in the early parts of the anime, only revealing them four years later.
Currently, Owen wasn’t sure how strong Leslie truly was.
However, now that he was a silver-tier level 9 mage and had mastered two [Orders], as well as possessing a Mini Nuke, he felt more confident in facing the future Queen of Hell.
On the way to the duke’s mansion, Owen, to be cautious, gritted his teeth and spent 500 fate points to buy an Advanced Healing Potion.
After all, having just fused two [Orders], he had endured unimaginable strain and pressure, even if he had managed to appear unfazed.
Leslie was very powerful, so he had to meet her in his best condition.
Shortly after entering the duke’s mansion with Duke Charles, Owen’s condition had fully recovered thanks to the Advanced Healing Potion, and he felt refreshed.
He had barely sat down when a maid entered the living room.
“Master Owen, Miss Leslie would like to see you. Please follow me.”
The maid finished speaking and then led the way.
Owen’s heart raced with nervousness and anticipation.
Leslie, the legendary figure from the anime, he was finally going to meet her!
And as her fiancé, no less!
As Owen stood up to follow, the system suddenly issued a mission.
