Bab 40: Chapter40-Duel to the Death

Owen had just arrived at the dueling platform, looking at Princess Marry in his arms with a serious expression, though his heart was pounding with excitement!

What a great opportunity!

On his way here, he was still contemplating how to get close to Princess Marry. Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, he encountered such a heaven-sent opportunity.

He had already noticed a thumb-sized badge pinned to Princess Marry's heaving chest.

The badge emitted a faint blue glow, displaying an endless sky that radiated a soft, veil-like light.

Under this light, the surrounding mana seemed to become more active.

Evidently, as he had anticipated, Princess Marry was wearing her family crest at this important occasion of the Magic Competition!

Such close proximity was definitely a great chance to copy it!

Absolute Copy, activate!

As Owen's burning gaze focused on the family crest on Princess Marry's chest, activating his magical skill, Princess Marry felt Owen's eyes become extremely bright, with a hint of inexplicable heat.

Especially the masculine aura he exuded, it ignited her entire body. Her snow-white skin quickly turned pink, blushing with shyness and heat.

Princess Marry had always been very proud since childhood. She had hardly ever been in such close contact with a man, not even sharing a room with one.

Besides, Owen's talent and appearance made her feel inferior. She had already had a slight affection for him.

Now, with Owen gazing at her so affectionately, her heart was pounding like a deer running wild. She instinctively turned her face away, not realizing that burying her cheek in Owen's chest made their relationship seem even more intimate.

"Owen has arrived!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes around the dueling platform fell on the approaching Owen.

Owen was already a prominent figure in this Magic Competition. Alfonso's arrogant actions earlier made them even more eager for Owen's appearance.

Though Alfonso displayed great strength, Owen had previously killed the half-step platinum-tier Tony with a single move.

Many people wanted to witness the duel between these two prodigies.

Under everyone's gaze, Owen's heart raced. Fortunately, Princess Marry was too flustered to notice.

After a moment, Absolute Copy succeeded!

Owen let out a slow breath and then gently placed Princess Marry on the ground.

She was somewhat dazed, and as everyone's eyes focused on her, she quickly walked away from Owen, breathing rapidly, even forgetting to ask Owen for help.

Princess Marry's sudden departure left a faint floral fragrance lingering on his fingertips.

Owen steadied himself and then looked at Alfonso on the dueling platform.

Although he had just arrived, he had heard Alfonso's arrogant remarks from afar.

This person was simply too conceited!

Recalling the assassination attempt by the Kyrikmage, it was clear they were Alfonso's guards.

Such an attack couldn't have happened without Alfonso's orders.

Being surrounded by dozens of gold-tier mages in an assassination attempt would be a death sentence for any gold-tier mage.

If it weren't for his strength surpassing that of an ordinary mage, he might have perished in their ambush.

Owen remembered this grudge well.

As Owen's expression gradually grew serious, Alfonso, whom he was staring at, also looked at Owen, his face showing a slight surprise.

Seeing Owen's calm demeanor and lack of battle scars made him realize Owen hadn't faced the ambush from Erik's gold-tier mages, which puzzled him.

However, he quickly composed himself, his tightly clenched fists creaking. Behind him, the shadow of a fire dragon soul faintly appeared, greedily staring at Owen and flicking its red tongue, as if eager to devour him whole.

This wasn't the first time he had seen Owen. Alfonso had already had a strong desire to challenge him.

Upon learning that Kyrik Commander Bada was killed by Owen, who also possessed the Order of Fire, his intent to kill Owen had reached its peak.

The Order of Fire was a supreme item for nurturing the fire dragon soul!

A lowly person from the Azure Kingdom dared to kill a noble Kyrik commander—this was simply unacceptable. The Order of Fire was not something a lowly person like Owen should possess. Such a rare treasure would not be wasted in his hands.

Furthermore, Owen's unprecedented talent and strength forced Alfonso to want to eliminate him quickly, not giving the Azure Kingdom any chance to rise.

With a cold expression, Alfonso spoke, "Owen! A coward who bullies women dares to appear here?"

He took a step toward Owen, and an overwhelming and scorching wave of air, like an invisible mountain, pressed down on Owen.

The crowd, seeing Alfonso's intense hostility toward Owen, was somewhat stunned but mostly cheered, urging the two to fight.

Owen looked Alfonso up and down. From Erik, he had already obtained a storage ring and numerous gold coin treasures.

As a renowned genius of Kyrik, Alfonso surely had even more treasures on him than Erik!

Especially with the faintly visible fire dragon soul on Alfonso, Owen felt a subtle sense of oppression, clearly indicating its extraordinary origin and immense value!

Seeing Owen's somewhat greedy gaze, Alfonso frowned slightly. What was this guy staring at him for?

With a cold snort, Alfonso spoke loudly, "Everyone here can bear witness. An Azure Kingdom person killed a Kyrik individual. Shouldn't Kyrik receive an explanation for this?"

The crowd, hearing this, looked at Alfonso in confusion, not understanding his words.

In the palace, King Aldric, who had been silently watching the battle, furrowed his thick brows and glanced at the crown prince and the elders of the Council.

They also appeared puzzled, seemingly unaware of this matter.

Over the years, facing repeated provocations from Kyrik, the Azure Kingdom had always chosen to be patient and lenient toward Kyrik, never having such an incident.

"Azure Kingdom's attitude towards Kyrik has always been weak. Could Alfonso be mistaken?"

"Yes, Kyrik's mages are indeed more fierce and powerful than those of the Azure Kingdom. Even if a mage from Kyrik were captured, it would typically be resolved through negotiations..."

Many of the prodigies from other nations whispered among themselves, finding the situation peculiar.

Seeing the crowd start to discuss, Alfonso's face turned serious.

He took out an echo stone from his pocket and spoke loudly, "This is the death message sent by our Kyrik commander Bada not long ago. Everyone, listen carefully. This matter demands blood for blood!"

As Alfonso's voice fell, the echo stone began to emit sound.

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

"Owen! Our Kyrik prodigy, Lord Alfonso, is already on his way. If I die, he will never let you go!"

As Bada's voice fell, the area around the dueling platform erupted in an uproar!

They had heard of Bada's fierce reputation and his formidable strength, known for his killings in Kyrik. But now, he was dead! And killed by Owen!

Their first thought was disbelief.

However, the echo stone couldn't be faked, and with Alfonso's confident demand for an explanation, the likelihood of the event being true was very high.

However, in previous battles with the Azure Kingdom, they had always been at a disadvantage, causing everyone to fear Kyrik's people.

Owen not only dared to take on someone like Bada, the butcher, but also killed him without hesitation!

Immediately after, Alfonso's cold words rang out again, shocking the crowd.

"Commander Bada's death must be avenged!"

"Today, you and I will fight to the death, and no one shall interfere!"

He was issuing a challenge to a duel to the death with Owen!

A duel to the death is different from an ordinary duel; it is a fight to the death with no quarter given!

The duel continues until one side dies, and during this time, neither party's allies can intervene.

It is an extremely brutal way to resolve a grudge.

They hadn't seen a duel to the death in a long time, and a duel to the death between two top prodigies was even rarer!

For a moment, the eyes of all the mages present were fixed on Owen and Alfonso. They even held their breath, afraid to disturb the two.

Bab 41: Chapter41-Fire Dragon Core

"With Alfonso's current strength, he stands a strong chance of winning even against a true platinum-tier expert, and his methods are ruthless. If Owen accepts, the situation will be very dire for him!"

"But with Bada's death, Owen and the Azure Kingdom must give an explanation, or Kyrik will not let this go!"

"That's right, Owen isn't without a chance either. Although we don't know how he managed to kill Commander Bada, Bada was a gold-tier mage."

"..."

Various voices emerged from the crowd of onlookers.

The prodigies of the Azure Kingdom looked at Owen with hope.

They all wanted Owen to accept the challenge and bring glory to the Azure Kingdom.

After all, their kingdom had suffered a devastating defeat today, and only Owen might help them regain some dignity.

Otherwise, they would find it even harder to lift their heads in front of Kyrik in the future!

Princess Marry's beautiful eyes shone with complex emotions.

She hoped Owen would stand up at this moment and win glory for the Azure Kingdom.

But thinking about the brutality of a duel to the death, she was very worried for Owen.

She feared he might lose to Alfonso or encounter some unexpected mishap during the battle.

As Princess Marry's expression showed her inner conflict, Owen smiled faintly and stepped onto the platform.

"A duel to the death? Fine! It's time to settle the grudge between us!"

As Owen accepted the duel to the death, the crowd erupted in a clamor, their voices reaching the skies!

Owen's decisive acceptance of the duel made Alfonso frown slightly, wondering where Owen got his courage from.

But soon, he shook his head slightly.

No matter what methods or confidence Owen had, in front of him and his fire dragon soul, Owen would eventually be reduced to ashes!

The next moment, Alfonso roared, flames dancing all around him, as if he had transformed into pure, scorching fire, distorting the air on the platform. With a flicker, he was already in front of Owen.

Owen was now the last pillar of support for the Azure Kingdom.

Defeating him swiftly would be equivalent to crushing the backbone of all Azure Kingdom people.

So, Alfonso showed no mercy in his attack, abandoning his previous playful attitude toward the Azure Kingdom prodigies.

He intended to annihilate Owen with overwhelming force.

"Such a fast attack! Alfonso's killing intent towards Owen is too strong!"

"With such swift speed and his special dark magic, even a platinum-tier mage would find it difficult to dodge!"

As Alfonso directly attacked Owen, many low-level mages didn't even notice what had happened.

Only a few powerful mages, squinting their eyes and frowning, watched the platform with grave expressions.

From the moment Alfonso made his move, they keenly sensed that the atmosphere and combat level on the platform were far beyond the previous duels among the prodigies.

This was a true fight to the death!

Seeing Alfonso's fiery body already rushing toward him, Owen felt a wave of scorching heat hit him.

At this moment, the aura Alfonso exuded was even stronger than that of Tony, whom Owen had encountered before.

The terrifying heat wave, capable of incinerating everything, was almost unbearable for him.

"No wonder he dared to propose a duel to the death. His strength truly allows him to transcend tiers and kill platinum-tier mages," Owen murmured softly.

Flames began to rise around him, enveloping him, causing the mana within and around him to surge violently.

The Order of Fire had been activated!

As the flames appeared around Owen, the scorching sensation Alfonso brought him immediately disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable feeling of comfort.

Moreover, the flames surrounding Alfonso seemed to diminish significantly when Owen activated the Order of Fire, like a small flame compared to a great blaze!

Alfonso's face darkened, but then a greedy look appeared on his face, and the lines under his skin started to emerge.

His muscles began to bulge, filled with explosive power, causing his entire body to swell noticeably!

"Dark magic! Crimson Flame Body!"

Alfonso roared, and his muscles began to writhe rhythmically.

From his feet, the terrifying power was transmitted layer by layer, converging into his fists.

At the same time, the surrounding mana recklessly gathered into his body.

His fists began to flow with boiling magma, continually compressed by his energy, reaching a terrifying level, distorting the air and leaving traces in the void!

"The explosive power of dark magic is truly terrifying! Is this Alfonso's true strength?"

"Alfonso has delved into both dark and white magic. Although Owen possesses the Order of Fire, he probably hasn't mastered it for long. With just this, he can't be a match for Alfonso. His aura has increased at least twofold!"

Many mages looked at Alfonso in horror, feeling that at this moment, he was like a walking volcano.

Even from a distance, they were drenched in sweat, experiencing the illusion of being evaporated.

Facing Alfonso's sudden explosive punch, the flames on Owen's body began to condense in front of him, and he also threw a punch.

Bang!

At the moment of contact, both of their bodies trembled.

Owen felt an overwhelming force sweeping in, as if it was going to twist and crush his arm.

The flames on his fist also began to extinguish and disperse.

Clearly, Alfonso's dark magic body technique had forcibly elevated his strength to a much higher level, temporarily putting Owen at a disadvantage.

However, Owen also had a dark magic body technique, and it was even stronger!

In an instant, black light, as indestructible as iron, surfaced on Owen's body, dyeing his skin and flesh black, making his body look like a steel sculpture!

With the activation of Obsidify, Owen's previously trembling arm steadied, and his strength surged again, countering Alfonso's arm with a torrential burst of energy.

For a moment, the entire dueling platform seemed to be torn into two parts under the collision of these two terrifying forces.

Thick cracks spread out continuously from the center where they stood.

A few seconds later.

Owen stood as immovable as a mountain, but the platform beneath his feet had deeply caved in. Opposite him, Alfonso had been forced to retreat several steps.

With each step back, the flames on Alfonso's body dimmed slightly, and his aura weakened.

"What kind of technique is this?!"

Barely managing to steady himself, Alfonso looked at Owen in disbelief, feeling the soreness and numbness in his arm.

He had already gone all out, even activating the powerful dark magic body technique, Crimson Flame Body, which initially suppressed Owen.

But Owen had activated his own body technique, ultimately suppressing Alfonso instead!

The many prodigy mages watching were also stunned, looking at the retreating Alfonso.

"Isn't Owen a white magic user? When did he learn dark mage techniques, and he's very proficient at it too!"

"This time, Owen just caught Alfonso off guard. With Alfonso's methods, Owen will likely fall into a worse position as the fight continues."

Although Owen had gained the upper hand, many mages still favored Alfonso.

After all, Alfonso came from a noble background and had received the best training since childhood.

It wouldn't be so simple for Owen to surpass him.

"Mr. Owen, you must win!"

"Alfonso isn't so great after all. Mr. Owen, teach him a lesson!"

However, the prodigies and mages from the Azure Kingdom were all on Owen's side.

Alfonso had been too arrogant before, and now that Owen was helping them regain their dignity, their opinion of him began to change.

"Obsidify, the technique Owen is using, should be the long-lost powerful body technique. How did he acquire it? This technique is extremely difficult to master, and he seems to be more than just a beginner..."

As the representative of Academy City, Edward pushed his monocle up his nose, his eyes widening in surprise.

He had previously thought he had a thorough understanding of Owen, but it hadn't been long before Owen showed a new technique!

Moreover, Edward had a strong intuition that Owen probably had some other powerful techniques that he hadn't yet revealed.

Now, fighting against a formidable opponent like Alfonso, Owen might have to use all the techniques he had kept hidden until now.
