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!


    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.
