Chapter 67: Chapter67-Obsidify Level 3


    ?


    With John agreeing to Owen''s proposed wager, everyone present held their breath, eyes fixed on the two of them, afraid to miss any detail of the impending battle.


    John''s terrifying displayed power and Owen''s unprecedented talent made the crowd eagerly anticipate their fight.


    Especially Carlos, Monroe, and Davis, who had been ordered to come, all held a strong curiosity about Owen. To them, Owen was a mysterious allure.


    Boom!


    As countless gazes converged, the atmosphere on the arena quickly grew tense and oppressive.


    John''s gold-tier level 8 aura spread out, his robe billowing in the wind, exuding an oppressive, mountain-like pressure that caused the arena surface to crack and crumble, sweeping towards Owen.


    At the same time, light patterns began to radiate from John, quickly covering the entire arena.


    The many mages watching this scene all had serious expressions.


    Marry''s previous crushing defeat was due to this special technique, which forcibly suppressed her and led to her rapid collapse.


    None of them had yet understood what this special technique of John''s was, only feeling that the air grew heavier with the appearance of the light patterns.


    Owen, within the light patterns, felt this even more keenly.


    It was as if he had entered a special gravity space, where both the flow of his blood and the circulation of his mana were affected, resembling a weakened version of a domain.


    But a domain was something John shouldn''t be able to master at his current level, even with Ymir''s assistance.


    "The original storyline has changed, but John''s techniques are still powerful and domineering. The chosen one indeed lives up to his name."


    Owen''s expression grew more serious, and suddenly, a gold-tier level 2 aura emanated from him, stirring up waves on the arena.


    After killing two mages who enslaved zombies, Owen''s level had reached gold-tier level 2! As Owen''s aura spread, many mages were shocked, feeling a sense of awe.


    One month ago, Owen had been only at bronze-tier level 9.


    Now, he had broken through to gold-tier level 2.


    Such a rapid breakthrough was beyond their imagination!


    It was too fast, crossing an entire tier!


    "Gold-tier level 2, this guy''s breakthrough speed is truly monstrous..." Carlos murmured to himself.


    Previously, when he fought Owen, he could still overpower him with his level.


    But now, with Owen''s level increase, Carlos found himself lagging behind in every aspect. This deepened his sense of defeat and strengthened his determination to catch up to Owen. Aside from the rarely seen Mountain Forces, Carlos now regarded Owen as his greatest rival. "Although his level is not particularly outstanding, his aura is extremely concentrated. It seems he is not only proficient in white magic but also highly skilled in dark magic," Monroe remarked, seriously observing Owen. Her usually alluring eyes were now filled with a serious intent.


    Owen''s level was significantly lower than John''s, trailing by six small levels.


    While this gap might not allow for an instant kill, it should easily permit suppression.


    However, under John''s oppressive aura, Owen stood motionless, as solid as a rock.


    The mana around Owen swirled and was manipulated by him. Even the mana within his body gathered at the surface, forming an impenetrable armor that dispersed John''s oppressive


    aura.


    Storing mana within the body was definitely a dark magic technique.


    Owen performed it effortlessly, indicating his profound mastery of dark magic.


    staff!


    This revelation brought to Owen''s mind the secret technique of Ymir''s family:


    Armament Merge!


    It was a legendary secret technique that allowed one to merge with a weapon, enhancing


    combat power.


    The higher the quality of the weapon, the stronger the power.


    It appeared that John''s formidable strength and his ability to match Owen blow for blow were due to Ymir providing him with a legendary staff and enabling him to merge with it.


    Legendary staffs were extremely rare, often involving [Orders] and domain levels. This likely explained John''s ability to form these intricate formations.


    After a few more exchanges with John, Owen realized this was a great opportunity!


    If John could merge with a legendary staff, then perhaps Owen could merge with the


    Godslayer Staff.


    The enhancement John received from the legendary staff was significant, so how much more powerful would the Godslayer Staff make Owen?


    With this thought in mind, Owen continuously channeled the Order of Thunder, steadily


    closing in on John.


    John''s confusion grew as he couldn''t comprehend Owen''s intentions.


    However, he couldn''t distance himself from Owen, as Owen''s speed suddenly surged!


    The lightning around Owen became more intense, like countless white steel wires entwined


    around him.


    Flames began to erupt beneath his feet, exploding and propelling him forward several times


    faster.


    John couldn''t evade in time.


    Seeing Owen rush towards him, he quickly condensed the formation''s light patterns, forming


    a heavy, shrinking mountain, attempting to suppress Owen. The air screeched under the


    pressure.


    But at that moment, Owen''s eyes locked onto John''s ring, and he focused his mind.


    Mana Void, activate!


    In an instant, the surrounding mana and John''s formation light patterns were pulled into Owen''s domain, converting into the purest mana and gathering within Owen.


    Within a single breath, the formation''s light patterns dissipated, and the surrounding mana


    was completely drained!


    John was utterly shocked, having never anticipated such an eerie occurrence.


    Mana was to a mage as water was to fish. Terrified, he instinctively retreated.


    At that moment, a unique glint flashed in Owen''s eyes. Absolute Copy, activate!
