Chapter 37: Chapter37-Revenge?

?

"Owen, it's time to pay for your actions!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, Benedict and the Wolf Guard beside Owen tensed up, warily locking their eyes on the man.

"Kyrik's insignia?! What do you think you're doing? This is the imperial capital, not Kyrik, where you can do as you please!"

Benedict stepped forward, scrutinizing the middle-aged man, with mana subtly surging around him, ready to strike at any moment.

Although they were still unsure of the true identity of these ambushers, the strong and fierce

aura emanating from them, along with their killing intent, indicated they were not kind- hearted individuals.

Given their attire, they were likely mages from Kyrik, and powerful ones at that!

But why were they setting up an ambush here?

Could it be that Owen's astounding talent had provoked their killing intent?

With this thought, Benedict grew even more tense.

Kyrik was known for its ruthless methods! Now, seeing so many of Kyrik's people gathered here, most of them at the gold-tier level, the situation looked grim.

Facing Benedict's questioning, the fierce middle-aged man ignored him, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Owen.

"Owen, when you killed my brother Bada, did you ever think this day would come?"

As he spoke, the path Owen and his group had come from was blocked by mages ranging from gold-tier level 1 to level 2.

The mages surrounding Owen and his party exuded a thick killing intent, converging into a chilling wind that made their bodies shiver.

"Bada?"

Benedict and the Wolf Guard exchanged glances, their faces showing signs of shock. They had all heard of Bada.

He was a highly brutal leader from Kyrik, often tasked with their slaughter missions.

His level was as high as gold-tier level 3!

Such strength would earn a certain level of respect in various kingdoms.

Yet now, this murderous maniac was dead?

And he was killed by Owen?!

"Are you mistaken? We've never had any contact with Commander Bada, let alone killed General Bada!"

Benedict and the others couldn't believe it and thought it must be a misunderstanding.

"At this point, you're still trying to lie!"

The middle-aged man pulled out a white echo stone from his chest, his eyes filled with grief and anger as he infused it with mana.

Instantly, the echo stone glowed, and a familiar voice to Owen started speaking intermittently.

"This is... the Godslayer Staff. You are Owen! You are that Owen!"

"Owen! My Kyrik prodigy, Lord Alfonso, is on his way. If I die, he will not spare you!"

Hearing the voice from the echo stone, Owen immediately recalled the Kyrik mages he had killed outside Pharaoh's Tower in the desert while they were chasing the snakefolk.

It had only been a few days, yet here came the brother seeking revenge.

Owen shook his head slightly, resolving to be more decisive next time to avoid such revenge incidents.

The other Wolf Guards trembled upon hearing Bada's terrified pleas. Judging by the voice, it was indeed Bada. But how had Mr. Owen done it?

Bada was a gold-tier level 3 mage with extensive combat experience.

The gap in strength seemed insurmountable to them, making it feel like a dream.

However, the fact that so many gold-tier mages had come to block them proved that Bada had indeed died at Owen's hands, and their killing intent towards Owen was intense.

"Remember, the one who will take your life is Bada's brother, Erik!"

Erik did not say much more to Owen.

The thought of letting the person who killed his brother live even a moment longer was torture to him!

With a furious roar, he charged towards Owen.

Owen suddenly remembered that Erik was likely the man who had been glaring at him from beside Alfonso in the Royal Arena's VIP section.

He must have been Alfonso's guard, now sent here to kill him.

Realizing this, Owen's face grew cold as he looked at Erik and the other charging mages. If they dared to target him, they should be prepared to fall here!

"Kill!"

Erik's face twisted with fury, and scorching flames erupted from the markings on his body, transforming into a blazing tiger that almost merged with him as he charged forward with unstoppable momentum.

The other gold-tier mages surrounding the alley simultaneously activated their magical skills, aiming straight for Owen!

"Earth Shattering Slash!"

"Resonance Wave!"

"Wrath of the Earth!"

A torrent of magical attacks descended, their terrifying power causing the streets to howl

with cold wind and the ground to tremble.

The entire street was lit up like a rainbow.

Benedict and the other Wolf Guards, caught under these attacks, turned pale, their legs

instinctively trembling.

"This is the imperial capital! How dare you act so brazenly!"

Benedict forced himself to stay composed, glaring angrily at the charging Erik.

"So what if we are? You're all about to die, and yet you dare to..."

Erik's eyes were colder than ever, looking at Owen, Benedict, and the others as if they were

already dead.

But before he could finish his sentence, Owen had already moved!

The dark golden Godslayer Sword appeared in his hand.

A sharp aura suddenly filled the air, accompanied by the sound of tearing fabric.

Any mage who looked directly at Owen felt a sharp pain in their eyes, as if they were being cut. Some gold-tier level 1 mages even shed tears of blood!

Then, Owen took a step forward, a black light surging over his skin, with immense power

radiating within him.

"Obsidify!"

The moment his foot touched the ground, he seemed to disappear, reappearing abruptly in

front of Erik.

Erik's pupils contracted sharply, not expecting Owen's explosive speed to be so terrifying. He prepared to summon the blazing tiger to attack Owen.

But a streak of golden light flashed, tearing through the pale void. The flames surrounding Erik and the roaring tiger were split in two by the sword energy!

Erik stood frozen, feeling a numbness in his body as if all his strength had been drained.

With a faint sound of a sword, starting from his brow, Erik's body was split in two, falling to

the ground.

The golden sword energy then burst like a fluffy pillow, transforming into countless fine strands, shredding his body into pieces of flesh and blood!

In a single encounter, Erik was reduced to nothing.

The mages surrounding Owen trembled, their eyes filled with uncontrollable terror, as if they

were looking at a horrifying beast.

Erik had been the strongest among them!

For Owen to kill him so easily, how powerful was he really?!

They had previously believed that Owen must have used some insidious trick or special

method to kill Commander Bada.

But now, facing Owen directly, they realized they were completely wrong!

Bang!

The concentrated attacks from the mages fell upon Owen.

However, he was already protected by the Judgment Light Sword, floating around him like

white swimming fish.

Their skills struck the light swords, causing them to dim slightly, but the remaining force that hit Owen was like an egg hitting a stone, instantly dissipating.

Then, Owen swung the Godslayer Sword in his hand, unleashing a wave of sword energy that swept out like a roaring sea, tearing through the air and striking the terrified mages.

Before they could even react from their shock and terror, the sword energy flashed past, and

their heads flew into the air, only to fall powerlessly to the ground.

Splat! Splat! Blood gushed from their necks, filling the air with a thick, bloody smell.

The remaining mages, drenched in cold sweat, turned to flee.

But as soon as they moved, their bodies were sliced into pieces by the sword energy,

scattering their remains all over the ground.

Benedict and the others stood dumbfounded, as if they had turned into stone statues.
