Chapter 329: Chapter326-Who Are You!
Boom!
The giant mouth collided with the swirling malice, unleashing terrifying magical ripples.
Vanessa's malice was continuously corroded by the foul liquid emanating from the mouth, and some of it was even drawn into its belly, causing the toxic sores on her back to become more pronounced and painful.
In an instant, Vanessa was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
The others present quickly retreated, staring in terror at Alex, who had transformed into a spellbeast.
He had become as terrifying as a spellbeast through some secret technique!
Alex was quite pleased with the fearful looks of the crowd as they backed away.
However, just as he prepared to make his next move, he suddenly noticed that amidst the retreating crowd, one person remained unmoved.
Standing alone behind Vanessa, he was quite conspicuous.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Dressed in a white mage robe as pure as snow, he appeared youthful but with an inexplicably profound gaze, as if he had witnessed the cycles of life and seen the essence of all things.
Just seeing this young man instinctively filled Alex with a sense of danger.
Yet, as he carefully sensed the youth, he discovered that there wasn't a trace of mana fluctuations within him.
At this moment, the retreating crowd also took notice of this young man.
His calm and elegant demeanor brought an unusual peace to their hearts, as if nothing could disturb his inner tranquility.
"Is he in a daze? Standing there like that, he could get hurt!"
After a moment of shock, many stared in astonishment at the young man.
Meanwhile, a stabilized Vanessa lifted her head slightly, her pure white eyes reflecting the
young man's appearance, the overwhelming malice on her dissipating somewhat.
"It's you..."
Vanessa recalled seeing him on her way here.
He resembled Emperor Owen!
Owen looked at Vanessa, sensing the malice radiating from her, filled with resentment towards West Sanctum Academy.
Among this malice were the grievances of her sister Dennis, as well as countless talented individuals who had perished here, their silent accusations rising to the heavens.
These were supposed to be the most vibrant talents of the empire, the future pillars of the nation.
"West Sanctum Academy, what a name!"
Owen's gaze suddenly turned icy.
Damien, the headmaster, had committed more treachery against the empire than he had previously anticipated!
Steadying himself, he waved his hand, mana surged forth, and he lifted the bloodied Vanessa from the ground.
At the same time, a rich surge of life energy instantly flowed into her body, healing her injuries in an instant.
"Watch carefully here; the academy is a cradle for nurturing talents. Those who defy this rule shall be executed without mercy!"
Vanessa stared at Owen in a daze, the overwhelming malice within her gradually dissipating without her noticing.
The resentful spirits within her felt the same.
Owen's words echoed their long-held belief.
The academy is a cradle for talent!
This was something the emperor had once proclaimed!
It had inspired countless individuals to take pride in becoming mentors and students of the academy.
Indeed, becoming a student and graduating had once enabled many to become the bedrock of the empire, establishing and solidifying its grandeur.
However, ever since the emperor had gone into seclusion, some in the academy had grown increasingly excessive!
"Who exactly are you? Why haven't I seen you before? How dare you meddle in West Sanctum Academy's affairs?"
Seeing Owen heal Vanessa, Alex glared at him with a cold expression.
West Sanctum Academy was the local tyrant here!
No one dared to interfere with West Sanctum Academy!
Owen slowly raised his head, looking coldly at the massive Alex and pronounced two chilling syllables:
"Shut up!"
The voice was not loud but clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Upon hearing this, Alex felt as though his head had been blasted open, and then he sensed an unimaginable terrifying pressure crashing down upon him.
His enormous body was squeezed down like a lump of clay under this overwhelming force!
No matter how hard he struggled against it, it was all in vain.
His body was forcibly compressed, causing his bones and internal organs to crack and burst, almost turning him into a pulp.
The agony of his body exploding made him want to scream, but his mouth felt stitched shut, unable to utter a sound, cold sweat pouring from him as he neared madness from the pain!
Everyone present stared wide-eyed in horror at Owen's figure.
Though he didn't radiate much mana, his voice carried an undeniable authority.
Alex was a God King-level mage, someone only a few could hope to rival!
Yet, this formidable being was reduced to such a state by the mere utterance of a young man's words, like a frog being boiled alive!
Who is this person?
Why does he possess such terrifying power?!
Vanessa, too, looked at Owen's back in shock.
Though his demeanor and words made her feel at ease, Alex's power still loomed over her like
a heavy weight.
Now, Owen's terrifying strength far exceeded her expectations, leaving her in awe.
Simultaneously, an unstoppable thought surged in her mind.
This young man, who resembled Owen, must be the Emperor!
The Emperor has emerged from seclusion!
Crack!
Owen took a step forward, placing his foot on the now palm-sized Alex's back.
His already near-exploding body creaked under the pressure, his eyes bulging, the toxic sores on his back bursting with each passing moment!
He desperately wanted to scream like a drowning man, yet no sound emerged, only frantic
struggles and terror as he pounded the ground.
Who is this guy?
Why does he possess such dreadful strength?!
Filled with fear and regret, Alex's cold, fierce face had grown pale with weakness.
"Stop! If you dare to touch him again, I will kill you without mercy!"
Just as Alex was on the brink of exploding, a cold, commanding voice suddenly echoed from
the depths of the academy.
Then, four beams of light rushed in from afar, appearing above the plaza, surveying Owen and
the others.
As the light dissipated, three of them emitted God King-level fluctuations, their chaotic elemental auras making the majority of those present tremble and wish to kneel in worship!
The young mages recognized these three immediately, their hearts filled with shock.
The other three of the four God Kings under the headmaster had arrived!
This was a rare occasion to see such important figures!
They were among the elite of the God King tier, each one capable of suppressing turmoil.
Yet at this moment, these three were like attendants, standing behind the leading youth.
The youth wore magnificent robes, his golden hair cascading like a waterfall, his gaze arrogant and dismissive, and though he was still young, the aura he radiated was nearing the
God Emperor tier!
The moment he appeared, the entire world seemed to lose its brilliance; he became the sole
focus of existence!
The moment the crowd laid eyes on him, their pupils contracted sharply!
Though many had never seen him before, they knew that only one person could be surrounded
by the four God Kings:
Damien!
The genius headmaster of West Sanctum Academy!
Now he had reached the threshold of a semi-God Emperor!
He looked down from his lofty position at Owen, saying,
"I'll give you three seconds to remove your filthy foot! He is one of my subordinates!"
Owen gazed back at him indifferently, "What if I don't?"
In that instant, the atmosphere became extraordinarily tense!
The air seemed to reverberate with the sounds of countless killing intents!
"Kill!"
Behind Damien, a God King wielding a long knife narrowed his eyes, his face scarred and cold like a centipede, and he slashed towards Owen with a knife strike!
Before the blade even reached him, mana reacted in the air, forming a terrifying blade of light that tore through the void, sweeping across the sky!
