"Do you think I have a chance?"

Inside the Kingdom Vault, the atmosphere was tense. Surrounded by Chelsea, Austin, and other mages, Owen took a deep breath, glanced at them, and spoke.

Austin gave a cold smile. "Daring to set your sights on the Kingdom Vault is a path to death. Even if we kill you a hundred times, it wouldn't redeem your sins!"

In his mind, he was the future king of the Azure Kingdom. The treasures within the Kingdom Vault were already his, and he wouldn't allow anyone else to touch them.

Moreover, Owen's talent and pretty-boy looks drove him mad with jealousy!

Seeing Owen always made him feel an intense sense of inadequacy, as if he couldn't compare to him in any way except for his background and family.

Such a person didn't deserve to live in this world.

Only he could be the most dazzling existence on this continent!

"Enough talking to him," Chelsea suddenly spoke, gradually manipulating the mana in the space, keeping a close watch on Owen's every move. "I know all your skills and moves inside out. You want to use the same technique you used to kill Tony, right? That move is indeed terrifying, but unfortunately, TNT requires too much charging time. I won't give you that chance!"

Chelsea was very cautious. Although Owen was now in a desperate situation with no way out, as long as he wasn't dead, she wouldn't let her guard down.

And indeed, Owen's TNT move required some time to charge.

Previously, when dealing with Tony, no one knew or understood this skill initially, giving Owen the opportunity to charge up and use it successfully.

But because of the terrifying lethality of this move, many began to study ways to counter it.

The simplest and most practical way was to not give Owen any time to charge up.

Seeing Chelsea's confident expression, Owen's mouth twitched.

Chelsea really understood him well. She had found the flaw in his strongest move!

So, Owen had to temporarily suppress the thought of using TNT.

The Godslayer Staff wriggled and transformed into the Godslayer Sword, which he gripped tightly in his hand.

Although there was no opportunity to use TNT, Owen still had the Supreme Sword and other skills.

Chelsea and the others could not take him down without paying a heavy price!

With the Godslayer Sword in hand, the compatibility between the weapon and Owen surged, adding a sharp aura to his presence.

As his killing intent surged, it swept towards Chelsea and the others like a continuous rain of thorns.

At this moment, the killing intent, like a knife, sliced Chelsea's delicate skin, leaving shallow blood marks.

Even with her significant strength improvement, Chelsea struggled to withstand the sharpness of the Godslayer Sword.

Austin trembled all over, feeling as if Owen's killing intent was a chilling cold current, making him extremely uncomfortable.

The five hundred palace guards behind them also shivered slightly but quickly steadied themselves, staring intently at Owen with solemn expressions.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Owen, even in a seemingly hopeless situation, to maintain his composure and unleash such terrifying killing intent.

Owen had only just reached gold-tier level 1 and was already this formidable. If he continued to grow, it was unimaginable how powerful he would become.

As Owen's killing intent heightened, they suddenly noticed Chelsea's aura fully erupting. She moved like lightning, charging towards Owen.

Austin quickly suppressed his fear and followed Chelsea, charging at Owen from behind.

The two moved in perfect sync, attacking from the left and right like two unstoppable streams of light, leaving Owen no room to defend or evade.

At the same time, the five hundred well-trained palace guards formed a cohesive unit. Mana gathered above their heads, transforming into a massive, blood-stained blade several dozen meters high, which slashed down towards Owen's head!

At this moment, Owen's entire body was locked on from all angles, his hairs standing on end, truly sensing the threat of death from them.

Just as his aura peaked and he prepared to activate the Supreme Sword, a sudden, inexplicable pressure thundered down from the top of the Kingdom Vault!

At this moment, everyone inside the Kingdom Vault felt a thunderous roar in their minds, as if a waterfall from the Heaven had pierced through their bodies, making them unbearably uncomfortable. The mana they had been controlling twisted and nearly dissipated under the immense pressure.

Chelsea and Austin felt as if they were bearing heavy boulders on their backs, their bodies sinking, and their mana dispersing. They looked up at the top of the Kingdom Vault with expressions of extreme dread.

Suddenly, the bright Kingdom Vault turned dark and gray, the atmosphere oppressive and somber. Gray dust swirled in the air like silver sand, and as the pressure continued to descend, it pressed them lower, making their bones creak and pop like exploding beans.

The five hundred palace guards behind them, who had formed the blood-stained blade, fared

even worse.

The magical phenomenon they had conjured shattered under the immense pressure, the fragments of chaotic magic swirling back uncontrollably.

The guards, suffering from the backlash, spat blood simultaneously, their energy drained, and they hunched over, gasping for breath.

Before they could recover, they were horrified to find the terrifying pressure descending relentlessly upon them.

Under that pressure, their bodies exploded like flesh bombs, scattering dark red blood, shattered bones, and innards across the ground, creating gruesome patterns.

Screams echoed endlessly, gradually drowned out by the continuous sound of explosions.

Soon, the area where the five hundred guards had stood became a foggy crimson mist, emitting a pungent smell of blood, a scene reminiscent of hell.

In the midst of this blood mist, Chelsea and Austin were also crushed to their knees by the

immense pressure.

They felt the temperature around them plummet to freezing, moisture in the air crystallizing into ice, and the blood on the ground turning into eerie ice crystals.

Time and space seemed to freeze.

Then, a cold voice slowly echoed through the space,

"After all these years, you haven't improved at all, Chelsea."

As this voice resounded, Chelsea jerked her head in the direction it came from.

High above the Kingdom Vault, a cold woman in an exquisite long dress floated like a deity, surrounded by white ice and snow that seemed to worship her, lifting her graceful body as she

slowly descended.

It was Leslie!

Chelsea's light blue pupils contracted sharply.

Leslie?!

She couldn't believe her eyes. How could it be her?!

Chelsea's face was filled with astonishment and anger. Leslie had shaved Chelsea's head bald

when they were children, leaving Chelsea with a lingering fear of her.

Rumor had it that the eldest daughter of the duke's mansion, Leslie, had been disciplined into submission and had become a shut-in flower vase.

But now, what was she seeing?

Walking on air!

Leslie had such profound cultivation!

It was well known that mages capable of flying were either top-tier powerhouses or

possessed extremely rare and precious secret techniques.

Judging by the pressure Leslie was emitting, she was clearly the former!

Given her current strength, which could suppress Chelsea with mere pressure, Leslie's power

was nothing short of unfathomable, comparable to that of a platinum-tier mage.

At the same time, Owen also looked in surprise at Leslie, who had landed beside him.

He hadn't expected her to personally get involved in this matter.

It was also his first time truly witnessing Leslie's strength!

Strong!

Terrifyingly strong!

No wonder the system had determined that he was absolutely no match for Leslie.

Even with his TNT technique, he wouldn't stand a chance against her!

With her here, he was safe.

Occasionally relying on someone else didn't seem so bad.

Seeing Leslie standing beside Owen like a pair of conspirators, Chelsea's expression turned to

one of anger and accusation.

"Leslie! Do you know what you're doing? Killing the palace guards, breaking into the

Kingdom Vault, you're committing treason!"

After speaking, she felt a wave of fear.

Leslie had hidden her strength so deeply and now acted so boldly, indicating she had long

harbored treacherous ambitions.

This news must be spread quickly, or else everyone would remain in the dark, and Leslie might actually find an opportunity to succeed!
