?
The other three master-tier mages immediately activated their most powerful magical skills, preparing to severely injure Owen with a single, decisive strike.
Owen had given them a strange feeling, and they knew that the safest course of action was to disable him as quickly as possible.
In an instant, under the influence of the three master-tier mages' spells, the entire void was divided into three distinct colors.
Green vegetation began to grow in the void, exuding a vibrant life force. However, as the plants spread, they absorbed all the nutrients and mana from the void, nearly creating a
vacuum.
Meanwhile, the shadow of a ferocious beast, wild and rampant, hovered between heaven and earth, charging toward Owen's shadow with lightning speed.
No matter how many of Owen's shadowy projections there were, they seemed unable to escape the beast's relentless pursuit and attacks.
Another master-tier mage slowly retrieved a longbow from his storage ring, locking onto Owen's image.
With his five fingers tightly gripping the bowstring, an endless stream of mana converged from all directions, forming a radiant golden arrow.
From its tip emanated a sharp aura capable of piercing through anything.
Whoosh!
As the arrow reached its peak of power, it suddenly shot through the air, while the other two master-tier mages' attacks simultaneously struck the dispersed shadows of Owen.
Boom, boom, boom!
Deafening explosions echoed across the void. Every black shadow that was hit disintegrated into nothingness, seemingly unable to withstand the terrifying onslaught.
However, a sudden sense of unease struck the three master-tier mages.
They realized that their carefully aimed attacks had hit nothing but empty space, lacking the feeling of actually striking Owen.
Their expressions shifted slightly as they quickly turned to look at Joseph, who had just shattered the void with his earlier attack.
At that moment, Owen's figure suddenly emerged behind Joseph like a shadowy assassin.
A massive phantom appeared around Owen, resembling an older version of himself, with white hair and beard, bearing a striking resemblance to him.
The mana in the surrounding space began to frantically converge into Owen's body, causing the very heavens to tremble.
The aura that escaped from this gathering was truly terrifying.
It was clear that Owen was now invoking the power of the Supreme Order!
As mages from Middle Earth, they were well aware of the terrifying power of the Supreme Order. With this force augmenting Owen, he now possessed the strength to contend with a grandmaster-tier mage, even if only temporarily.
While this power boost was short-lived, it provided Owen with enough strength to launch a surprise attack that could severely wound Joseph.
If Joseph were to be critically injured, the greatest danger Owen faced would vanish completely!
The shadows of Owen that had appeared earlier must have been decoys, meant to mislead them while he focused on dealing with Joseph.
"You've planned well, but unfortunately, you're still too slow!"
After a brief moment of shock, the three master-tier mages quickly gathered their wits, channeling all the mana within them to strike at Owen.
They prepared to turn his strategy against him, aiming to deliver a powerful counterattack.
After all, while Owen's current move was indeed formidable, it had left him completely exposed, presenting them with a perfect opportunity.
At the same time, Joseph also sensed the sudden appearance of Owen behind him and let a cold smile curl his lips.
In Joseph's perception, although Owen's strength had surged thanks to the Supreme Order, it had merely touched the threshold of grandmaster-tier power.
The idea that Owen could pose a lethal threat to him was laughable.
TheOrder of Thunder and Order of Fire that flowed through Owen's hands, though seemingly fearsome, were, in Joseph's view, nothing more than decorative showpieces.
The only aspect that gave him any concern was the Supreme Order itself; he had a lingering sense that there was more to this power than met the eye.
With this slight unease in mind, Joseph focused his energy, and the space in front of him suddenly shattered, creating a chasm filled with chaotic energy between himself and Owen.
It was as if they were now in two separate worlds.
As soon as the two Orders in Owen's hands came into contact with the chaotic energy, they were immediately assimilated and dissipated, without even causing an explosive impact. Joseph remained completely unharmed, with Owen's attack failing to pose any threat to him. In contrast, the powerful skills unleashed by Joseph and the three master-tier mages fully engulfed Owen.
This time, they didn't experience the frustrating sensation of their attacks hitting nothing; they felt the solid impact as their spells struck Owen directly.
Their faces immediately lit up with expressions of satisfaction.
It seemed now that the Supreme Order was indeed Owen's trump card and his greatest
reliance.
Yet, after using it, not only had he failed to turn the tide of the battle, but he had also plunged himself into a precarious situation, effectively courting death!
Did he really think that by relying on some tricks, he could defeat them one by one? What a
joke!
They were all master-tier mages, after all!
But just as their smiles began to appear, they quickly froze.
They realized that their terrifyingly powerful ranged magic attacks, though they had indeed
hit Owen, did not inflict the expected damage.
Instead, it felt as if their spells were being absorbed, feeding and strengthening him, as
though they were being sucked into a bottomless pit!
The expressions of the three master-tier mages suddenly shifted.
Even Joseph looked stunned as he watched Owen absorb their combined attacks with ease. It
felt as if they were dealing with a live volcano on the verge of erupting.
"What is this technique? How could he so easily withstand the combined attacks of three master-tier mages?"
As the three master-tier mages and the grandmaster-tier mage were struck with bewilderment, a chilling, bone-piercing cold suddenly crept up their spines!
They spun around abruptly.
To their shock, they saw that the Owen shadows, which they had dismissed as mere illusions,
had reappeared behind them.
This time, though the shadows seemed somewhat insubstantial, they felt alarmingly real to
them!
Moreover, the three sudden shadows that appeared behind them were each launching different, deadly attacks, as if they had been meticulously prepared for this moment.
"Supreme Sword!"
One of the shadows roared, and the Godslayer Sword radiated a blinding light.
The dazzling golden sword energy surged upward, slicing through the void with terrifying force, completely engulfing one of the master-tier Protectors.
The Supreme Sword was a strike guaranteed to hit its target, and with sufficient power, it could be a one-hit kill! Owen had clearly prepared this for a long time.
On another front, another Owen shadow twisted and transformed into a silent, pitch-black
Mana Void.
The appearance of the Mana Void was like a dark night, swallowing up the Protector within it. The chaotic mana within the Protector's body was rapidly drained away, reducing the once- great prodigy to a mere ordinary mage.
The Mana Void then began to mercilessly annihilate this master-tier mage.
At the same time, the third Owen shadow appeared, clad in Fallen Angel armor capable of withstanding master-tier magical attacks.
In its hands, it held two Orders, and between these two, a faint, cold glimmer flickered, transforming into the phantom Order of Ice.
For a moment, a destructive aura spread wildly from this shadow, as the fusion of three different Orders generated a force far more powerful than the previous combination of just
two.
Even master-tier mages now faced the risk of annihilation.
"This is bad! Owen's real target wasn't Kaldan's Protector-it was us!"
As the three Supreme Order-empowered shadows attacked, the master-tier mages realized the truth, their faces turning pale with a delayed sense of terror.
Given the terrifying power that these shadows had been amassing, it was clear that Owen's primary aim was to eliminate them.
His earlier attack on Joseph had merely been a diversion to distract them and lower their
guard!
Most crucially, they realized that Joseph was being restrained by Owen and couldn't intervene
in time!
The Owen who had absorbed their long-range magical attacks suddenly gripped the Guardian Shield tightly in his hand, aiming it directly at Joseph.
The Guardian Shield could reflect and amplify magical attacks threefold! Although the combined strength of the three master-tier Protectors wasn't on par with Kaldan's Protector, their coordinated attacks, amplified by the Guardian Shield, were so potent that even Kaldan's Protector would find his scalp tingling with dread, unable to spare a thought for helping the three master-tier mages.
