章 42: Chapter42-Supreme Sword!

On the stage, Alfonso steadied himself, took a deep breath to calm his agitated blood and hidden injuries, and stared at Owen with pupils that suddenly narrowed, becoming as sharp as a snake's eyes, exuding a hint of madness.

At that moment, the fire dragon phantom behind him seemed to materialize. Its ferocious dragon mouth suddenly opened, revealing sharp fangs, and it let out a deafening roar towards Owen. Then, with claws tearing through the air, it appeared on the stage.

Fire Dragon King, descend!

As the enormous fire dragon, about two stories tall, appeared on the stage, the many mages watching were shocked, unable to stay seated, staring at it in astonishment.

With its appearance, the stage became scorching hot. The heavy, lava-flowing paws made sizzling sounds on the surface of the stage, emitting rings of spreading heat, evaporating the sturdy bluestone and creating depressions.

"Fire Dragon King! This is a platinum-tier spellbeast. Such a spellbeast is arrogant and indifferent, yet Alfonso managed to subdue it across tiers!"

"Many mages in Kyrik can control spellbeasts to enhance their combat power. Alfonso hadn't used it before, but now he has. Does he intend to completely crush Owen?"

"With the Fire Dragon King's assistance, Owen will go from facing just Alfonso to confronting two powerful platinum-tier mages. His situation is perilous..."

Most of the mages gazed at the Fire Dragon King in fear.

Any dragon-type spellbeast symbolizes strength and ferocity, possessing overwhelming power over mages of the same tier.

Moreover, the mana compatibility between Alfonso and the Fire Dragon King is extremely high. Their combined power makes their combat ability even more terrifying!

At this moment, even Princess Marry, who had high hopes for Owen, showed a trace of worry and panic on her cold, proud face.

She had just deeply experienced Alfonso's immense strength, and this was no ordinary duel but a life-and-death battle!

Under the watchful eyes of Princess Marry and others, Owen's gaze was also drawn to the appearing Fire Dragon King.

Kyrik was known for mastering spellbeasts, something Owen was well aware of, but the strong bond between Alfonso and the Fire Dragon King far exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, the terrifying aura emanating from the Fire Dragon King made it appear even stronger than Alfonso, who was using his physical techniques!

The fusion of their auras created an oppressive force that even Owen could feel.

"In the younger generation, you're the only one who can make me use this move!"

"To die under the combined attacks of the Fire Dragon King and me is not a wasted life."

With the Fire Dragon King by his side, Alfonso's injured arm quickly recovered. His aura surged dramatically upon the Fire Dragon King's appearance, and a wave of overwhelming confidence filled his heart once more.

He leaped onto the Fire Dragon King's head, looking down at Owen from above, like he was gazing at an insect.

"Dragon's Breath!"

The next moment, Alfonso waved his hand, synchronizing perfectly with the Fire Dragon King.

The Fire Dragon King opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and, like a whale swallowing water, it absorbed the fire elements from the surrounding area, transforming them into molten lava, and spewed it towards Owen.

Simultaneously, as the Fire Dragon King attacked, Alfonso's body was also imbued with the Fire Dragon King's agitated aura. His narrow eyes glowed with a fierce light.

Immediately, a magical light array appeared in the sky above the stage, covering the area below.

Complex light patterns intertwined and connected, forming a dark void of red and brown hues, exuding an extremely terrifying aura of destruction.

At the moment the Fire Dragon King's breath locked onto Owen, the surface of the complex magical light array writhed and then roared. Lava meteors, each the size of a millstone, fell from above, covering every corner of the stage!

The simultaneous attacks from the Fire Dragon King and Alfonso came like an invisible pressure, binding Owen in place, his body sinking downward, giving him the feeling that there was no escape!

"What a terrifying attack! The stage itself can't withstand this aura. Even a platinum-tier mage might fall here!"

Most of the mages present trembled in fear as they watched the dragon's breath, like a river of lava, and the countless falling lava meteors. Many began to retreat, some even activating protective magical skills.

They doubted they could withstand the terrifying attack waves created by Alfonso and the Fire Dragon King.

"Is Owen, the genius recognized as the best in Academy City, really going to fall here?"

"It's a pity. Owen is still so young. If given another two years, with his growth rate, he might have been able to fight Alfonso head-on. Now, however, he is about to fall into Alfonso's hands. The Azure Kingdom's prodigy may never recover from this setback."

Regretful voices rose among the crowd.

In this critical moment of life and death, a flash of light appeared in Owen's hand, and he tightly gripped the Godslayer Sword.

The chilling sword aura swirled around him, tearing through the air with a sharp, whistling sound.

However, compared to the combined might of the Fire Dragon King and Alfonso, Owen's presence seemed as insignificant as a firefly compared to the bright moon, as if he would be crushed in an instant.

Yet, Owen's expression remained calm and steady.

The power of the man and the dragon was indeed terrifying, but so what?

Before him, they were nothing more than crumbling earth and decaying dogs!

"Supreme Sword!"

Owen silently chanted, gripping his sword with both hands and slashing forward!

The sharp sword aura surged from the pale blade, transforming into a stark white ribbon dozens of meters long, lifting the air into waves and seeming to split the atmosphere in two, leaving a narrow vacuum passage.

This move was an inherent skill of the Godslayer Sword and one of Owen's trump cards.

Compared to the first time he used it, Owen's physical body, internal mana, and mind power had all increased dozens of times.

This sword finally exhibited an overwhelming and unstoppable force!

As Owen swung his sword, all the watching mages felt a flash of white light before their eyes, causing intense pain and breathlessness.

They then realized in shock that the previously overwhelming aura of the Fire Dragon King and Alfonso on the stage had been completely dispelled!

Bang!

The sword aura's ribbon met the Fire Dragon King's scorching breath, producing a deafening collision.

The resulting chaotic shockwaves shook the entire space, with escaping sword energy slicing open fine spatial cracks.

The Fire Dragon King's blood-red eyes, the size of its head, showed a hint of surprise.

This breath attack was its most powerful move, but the moment it clashed with the sword aura, it felt a tingling sensation as if facing life and death directly!

Its breath, capable of melting and burning everything, was split by the sword aura and dissipated into rising heat waves.

The relentless sword aura pressed on, and after dispersing the breath, it headed straight for the Fire Dragon King.

Its crystal-like dragon scales began to crack and shatter under the impact, leaving white marks!

What terrifying sword aura!

The Fire Dragon King's expression changed drastically, completely unprepared for the sheer power of Owen's sword aura!

Simultaneously, as the sword aura spread, the mana in the air stirred.

The falling lava meteors were sliced in half by the sword aura, splitting repeatedly until they transformed into brilliant fireworks, exploding above the stage!

"This... Alfonso and the Fire Dragon King's attack was blocked?"

At that moment, those who had believed Owen was doomed were all wide-eyed, utterly shocked by the rapid turn of events.

Moreover, after blocking the attacks of the man and the dragon, the terrifying sword aura continued its assault, aiming to obliterate them both!

Standing on the Fire Dragon King's head, Alfonso's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected his full-strength attack to result in this outcome.

The incoming sword aura had already left crisscrossing blood marks on his body, like a thousand cuts, tormenting his mind.

Screech!

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion.

As Alfonso and the Fire Dragon King realized something was wrong, the sharp sword aura had already struck them, producing a tearing sound!

Owen took a deep breath, ready to sheathe the Godslayer Sword, but suddenly noticed a turbulent and chaotic aura rising from where Alfonso and the Fire Dragon King stood!

More terrifying than before!
