Chapter 81: Chapter81-The Blind Owen

?

On the street that resembled ruins, the earth and stones were upheaved. The once magnificent buildings and houses had been leveled to the ground by the recent battle. Various debris and fragments were scattered on the ground.

Ymir's ethereal figure shuttled through the ruins above, anxiously searching for Owen's figure among the rubble.

She glimpsed the lingering battle waves in the ruins, occasionally erupting like volcanic explosions, raising dust and fragments.

Her face grew more solemn, and her eyes were filled with worry.

She had been observing Owen's battle against the Fallen Angel in secret.

The terrifying combat power Owen unleashed at the end even made her heart tremble with fear.

She knew very well how difficult and dangerous it was to drive the Spear of Longinus to that extent.

It required the body and mind to be completely immersed in overwhelming killing intent, akin to dancing on a tightrope. A slight mistake would turn one into a mindless killing machine, a mere puppet of the spear!

Although Owen, with the help of the Spear of Longinus, had managed to eliminate the Fallen Angel without any danger, the backlash he endured was undoubtedly terrifying!

If the backlash was not resolved quickly, although Owen seemed alive now, he was actually on the countdown to his demise.

In Ymir's urgent search, she soon spotted Owen's figure in the center of the ruins.

At this moment, Owen was leaning on the blood-stained Spear of Longinus, standing hunched, with red threads of killing intent occasionally jumping out from his body, as terrifying as a thunderbolt.

Especially Owen's eyes, which had burst into two black holes, revealing wriggling flesh. Blood occasionally flowed from them, leaving two bloodstains on his face. Blood-colored cracks spread from his eye sockets towards his head and cheeks, making him look like a porcelain about to shatter.

Backlash!

The backlash of the Spear of Longinus!

Already worried about Owen's condition, Ymir couldn't help but grit her teeth, feeling a surge of anger.

She had warned Owen about the risks of using this spear.

But Owen just wouldn't listen.

Thinking of the ring in Owen's hand, Ymir couldn't help but sigh again.

If the backlash continued unchecked, even if Owen didn't die, he would suffer irreparable damage.

Without delay, Ymir split off a part of her mind power from her illusory body, like a fist-sized ball of cotton, and gathered it at Owen's brow.

"Don't resist, this is the second volume of Armament Merge, which can merge weapons as organs. It's the only way to save you now. The backlash of the Spear of Longinus is irresistible, unresolvable, and irrecoverable. Only by merging this spear into your body can the backlash be dispelled. Otherwise, you can just wait for death!" Ymir transmitted her voice with a reluctant hum to Owen.

Although Owen was severely injured, he still sensed Ymir's arrival.

Hearing the tone of her voice, he knew her mood was not good, and he immediately chuckled dryly and said, "Thank you, Ymir..."

He had just tried to drive away the backlash with mana and even activated the Dragonslayer Dagger and Godslayer Staff in an attempt to resolve it.

However, the backlash was deeply rooted, seemingly fused with him, and he couldn't dispel it at all. Instead, it showed signs of getting worse.

Owen had heard of the second volume of Armament Merge and knew how important it was for him right now!

"Don't thank me. Just don't cause me such big trouble next time. Considering the extent of your troubles, even my abilities have limits!" Ymir said seriously, holding her forehead.

With her strength, she had absolute confidence in helping John reach his peak, even if he got into various troubles or was in a low point.

But Owen was different. She didn't have the confidence to always protect Owen from harm. Owen could hear the resentment in her words.

He coughed dryly twice and focused on the second volume of Armament Merge that Ymir transmitted.

With the presence of the contract ring, he believed Ymir wouldn't deceive or plot against him. But out of caution, Owen endured the increasing pain from the backlash and first went through the Armament Merge in his mind carefully.

After confirming there were no abnormalities, he began to follow the cultivation method of the second volume, gradually mobilizing the nearly exhausted mana within him.

Since the Spear of Longinus started its backlash, it not only stopped providing him with any mana but also began rapidly absorbing the mana inside him.

His internal mana was nearly depleted.

Fortunately, Ymir sensed this and there was a novel sound of cool water, followed by a feeling of gentle water enveloping his body and continuously seeping into him.

The water contained the purest mana, and both his internal injuries and depleted mana were rapidly recovering.

Nourished by such mana, Owen felt comfortable all over.

The dark hollows of his eyes gained a bit of warmth, and mana gradually gathered, seemingly forming two magical vortices.

As the vortices appeared, the Spear of Longinus, which Owen was tightly gripping, seemed to be drawn by something and suddenly transformed into a bloody light, flying towards his eye

sockets.

Under the pull of the two vortices, the spear body swayed left and right and began to gradually soften...

Unlike the first volume of Armament Merge, the second volume was more profound and domineering, allowing different weapons and staffs to be smelted into one's organs.

Owen's eyes had suffered from the backlash, an injury that could never be restored!

The only way to compensate was to transform the Spear of Longinus into his own eyes.

But this was not easy.

"Such a secret technique is rarely successfully cultivated even within the family, let alone the second volume. But this is the only way for now. I don't know how you managed to learn it, but it doesn't matter anymore. Whether it succeeds or not depends on your luck," Ymir shook

her head.

This was the only thing she could do at the moment. Even at her peak, she was extremely wary of the Spear of Longinus, let alone now.

Under Ymir's watchful gaze, Owen remained calm and composed, continuing to smelt the Spear of Longinus, his face showing inexplicable confidence.

"Spear of Longinus, you are a legendary artifact and should have some will of your own. I will say this only once: follow me, and I promise to lead you to unprecedented heights!" Owen's mind power delved deep into the Spear of Longinus, conveying his will to it.

Seeing this, Ymir was about to set up a barrier around him to prevent anyone, especially outsiders, from approaching and disturbing Owen.

Suddenly, she noticed the Spear of Longinus trembling slightly, then, like a liquid, it split

into two.

It then flew into Owen's dark eye sockets, quickly filling them and gradually transforming into two agile and sharp eyes.

"What???" Ymir's face was instantly filled with question marks.

The Spear of Longinus was incredibly tough and formidable.

While the Armament Merge was indeed a nemesis to such divine artifacts, subduing it should

require a tremendous amount of effort.

But now, in almost an instant, the Spear of Longinus had already completed the smelting

process.

This was way too fast!

How did Owen do it?!

Ymir blinked, her face full of astonishment.

this moment, Owen paid no attention to Ymir's shock.

After the Spear of Longinus merged into his eye sockets, he first felt a surge of heat, followed

by a sense of blood connection with the spear.

Moments later, Owen attempted to slowly open his eyelids.

As his eyelids opened, familiar light shone into his eyes, and the scene of the ruins was fully

captured in Owen's vision.

He could see!

He could really see!

Owen rubbed his eyes, feeling the joy of regaining his sight after being in darkness.

He was no longer blind!

Then, Owen felt another surge of emotion because he realized that not only could he see

scenes hundreds of meters away, but every detail within his line of sight was crystal clear!

Even the fine roots of tiny plants emerging from the overturned soil, with their veins, were

clearly visible.

His perception of living beings was also exceptionally sharp, as he noticed earthworms, insects, and various ants emerging from the underground soil.

These eyes, forged from the Spear of Longinus, had become extraordinary.

And this was merely the most basic ability of these eyes!

Owen suppressed his excitement and then tentatively looked at Ymir with these new eyes.

Ymir had a mysterious origin and unfathomable strength, serving as the mentor and protector

of his predecessor, John, which indicated her power and uniqueness.

He wondered if these eyes could reveal anything about her.
