Chapter 222: Chapter222-The Fourth Seal of the Godslayer Staff


    ?


    "Now it''s your turn."


    After Owen unleashed his aura, Leslie immediately withdrew her spear and returned to Owen''s side, flashing him a smile.


    She casually began stroking Seraphina''s snake head, as if killing Taylor, a grandmaster-tier mage, had been nothing more than a trivial task.


    Owen nodded, still somewhat surprised by the power Leslie had displayed.


    Although he knew that with the aid of the World Tree''s drops, the Order of Life, and the enhancements from the Dark Tower, Leslie''s strength had significantly increased, reaching master-tier and transforming her combat ability, he hadn''t expected her to defeat Taylor with a single strike.


    Owen''s talent was indeed exceptional, but Leslie was proving to be just as extraordinary.


    Taking a deep breath, Owen turned all his attention to Pyrothrone King.


    It was time to settle things.


    In an instant, the chilling killing intent caused the air to tremble, forming a massive domain that enclosed both Owen and Pyrothrone King. Any mage nearby was forced to retreat.


    The previously crowded scene suddenly emptied, leaving only Owen and Pyrothrone King, like two beasts meeting on a narrow path.


    Those who had been eagerly awaiting the battle between Owen and Pyrothrone King immediately focused all their attention on the Academy City projection.


    Leslie''s fight with Taylor had already shown them the extraordinary talents of the continent''s geniuses.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    Owen was also a master-tier mage, but could he truly match Pyrothrone King?


    If he managed to hold his ground for even a short while, it would be a historic achievement. After all, no non-god-tier mage had ever challenged a god-tier mage.


    God-tier mages were the pinnacle of magical prowess, legendary figures in their own right. Reaching god-tier meant that a mage had no weaknesses and possessed absolute power. Whether a faction had a god-tier mage was the defining factor in its standing.


    But now, Owen, a master-tier mage, was boldly challenging Pyrothrone King. This provoked shock and disbelief in many.


    Some lower-tier mages hoped Owen would achieve a miracle, while most of the stronger mages, knowing the immense gap between tiers, couldn''t understand where Owen''s


    confidence came from.


    As everyone held their breath, Pyrothrone King glared at Owen, his expression twisted with fury.


    "Challenging me today will be the most regretful and desperate decision of your life!"


    "Don''t worry, I won''t kill you right away. You''ll watch as the one you care about becomes my slave, and you too will serve me for eternity, until your spirit crumbles into dust!"


    A tidal wave of anger surged from Pyrothrone King.


    His body began to melt like magma, billowing smoke rising from him as intense heat filled the air, causing it to crackle and burn.


    Eager to capture Owen, Pyrothrone King willed the surging waves of molten lava to crash toward Owen, sealing him in place.


    Boom!


    The next moment, the magma, capable of instantly killing a sage-tier mage, engulfed Owen. The sound of scorching flesh echoed as the magma corroded something resistant to its heat.


    But just as Pyrothrone King''s smile began to form, it froze on his face.


    His burning eyes peered through the molten flow, seeing Owen clearly.


    Owen stood there, calm and unscathed, his clothes untouched by the magma. In his hand, he held the Godslayer Staff, which emitted a dark golden light, forming a protective shield


    around him.


    Even though the magma was infused with Pyrothrone King''s divine power, it couldn''t


    penetrate the shield.


    "Impossible! The Godslayer Staff is powerful, but the one you hold is incomplete!"


    Pyrothrone King''s heart raced with disbelief as he stared at Owen.


    Owen responded with a cold smile.


    Indeed, the incomplete Godslayer Staff couldn''t have withstood a god-tier mage''s divine


    power.


    But now, the Godslayer Staff had unlocked its fourth seal!


    That''s right, just before the battle, Owen had used the Holy Water to unlock the fourth seal of


    the Godslayer Staff.


    And with the fourth seal came a new ability-Slaying God.


    [Slaying God]: Increases combat power tenfold when facing a god-tier mage!


    This simple yet brutally effective skill was perfectly aligned with the Godslayer Staff''s name.


    As long as Owen''s opponent was a god-tier mage, the staff would amplify his strength by ten


    times!


    Though Owen''s current power wasn''t enough to match a god-tier mage, with the Godslayer Staff''s boost, he now had the strength to fight one.


    This was the source of his confidence.


    After all, the Godslayer Staff was a weapon designed for Slaying Gods!
