Chapter 18: Chapter18-Silver-tier Level 6
?
Pharaoh''s Tower, Second Level.
Benedict and the others watched in amazement as Owen battled the Sphinx, each landing blows and dodging strikes.
"No wonder Master Owen was so confident. He can easily break through the Sphinx''s defenses!"
"But this is far from enough. The Sphinx hasn''t really started fighting yet; it was just testing him earlier!"
"Master Owen should know the danger of this BOSS by now and be preparing to retreat, right?"
"Oh my god! Master Owen is charging again!"
As they discussed, they suddenly saw Owen rushing towards the Sphinx once more.
How dare he!
The previous attacks were just the Sphinx''s probing moves, not even its full strength. Master Owen charging now was practically a death wish!
Their hearts pounded in shock.
The Sphinx, too, showed signs of anger.
It suddenly opened its large mouth, about the height of a person, releasing a powerful suction that gathered the mana from the air, forming a spherical light in front of it.
Then it forcefully spat the sphere towards the charging Owen.
Boom!
The moment the light sphere shot forward, it was like a meteor falling, tearing through the void, and black cracks spread out from its path.
The terrifying chaotic energy waves made the entire second level of the tower tremble and undulate like the sea.
"Wolf God''s Protection!"
Benedict and the Wolf Guard had already exerted all their strength to activate their skills, forming a huge bowl-shaped protective shield over themselves.
On the surface of the shield, the shadow of a giant wolf could be seen howling towards the sky.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
However, as the terrifying ripples from the light sphere swept over them, their combined shield was immediately dented by the successive impacts.
All the Wolf Guard members turned pale, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
Even though they were only caught in the aftermath, the attack was far beyond their strength to withstand.
"This is bad! Master Owen is in danger!"
Benedict''s heart skipped a beat, and a look of intense worry appeared on his face.
The mere aftermath was so terrifying that even the Wolf Guard, with their formation led by Benedict, a gold-tier mage, were injured from the impact!
It was unimaginable what kind of dreadful force Owen, who was facing the Sphinx''s attack directly, would have to endure.
Regret filled their hearts; they should have forcibly taken Master Owen away earlier!
As they sighed in regret, Owen, facing the light sphere, swayed under the terrible magical ripples, like a lone boat in a storm, seemingly on the verge of capsizing at any moment.
Owen''s expression grew solemn. "As expected of a gold-tier level 5 BOSS!"
The Sphinx''s oppressive and dangerous presence far surpassed that of Madelyn.
Under this immense pressure, the Obsidify on Owen''s body became even darker.
His body swelled like a black bear, and the Godslayer Staff in his hand shone brilliantly with the gathered mana, becoming a dazzling beam of golden light.
Slash!
consciousness.
With the Sphinx''s fall, an upgrade glow reappeared around Owen.
Silver-tier level 2.
Silver-tier level 3.
...
Silver-tier level 6!
The upgrade light flashed five times in succession, and his tier jumped from silver-tier level 1
to silver-tier level 6 in one go!
Even though Owen had anticipated a rapid tier increase after defeating the gold-tier BOSS, he hadn''t expected such a massive boost!
As his tier advanced, his body absorbed the mana from the air like a greedy sponge.
Every cell was saturated with elements, and the euphoric sensation made him feel as if he
were floating on clouds.
Meanwhile, Benedict and the others, who had been pushed to the edge of the second level by the earlier waves of energy, gradually regained their composure.
They stared in shock at the massive Sphinx with its nearly torn-open chest, their jaws
practically hitting the ground.
Had Owen really killed the Sphinx?
Their hearts were in turmoil, as if this scene were a dream.
This was a gold-tier level 5 BOSS!
Its terrifying combat power was something that even the combined strength of the Wolf
Guard couldn''t match.
Yet now, it had been slain by Owen with a single sword strike!
"Did I see that right? Master Owen really did it?"
"If he can single-handedly kill a gold-tier level 5 BOSS, just how strong is Master Owen''s
combat power?!"
Soon, their attention shifted to Owen.
They felt that his sturdy frame seemed to contain an unimaginable power.
He had repeatedly shattered their expectations, surpassing the limits of their imagination!
Then, they noticed Owen''s continuously advancing tier!
The shock on their faces turned to numbness.
Indeed, with a genius, anything unimaginable could happen.
Owen took a deep breath, glancing at the Sphinx''s body.
He then noticed its corpse was beginning to dematerialize.
A thunderous light flashed and flew to his forehead, transforming into a mysterious small
pyramid.
