Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Spiritual Flame Cleanses the Earth (Second Update)_1

""Roar-"

With a roar, a more ferocious monster emerged from behind the others. Its exaggerated muscles grew all over its body, with thick legs and shoulders wrapped around six arms that could directly touch the ground.

The number of monsters surrounding Owen Bertram, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, and the three warriors was so large that it couldn’t get to the front. It stepped on monsters in front of it and leaped onto their shoulders.

As it roared at Owen, a thick layer of bone helmet appeared on its head, extending down to cover its neck.

As long as the monsters weren’t decapitated, some damage to their bodies could only slow them down, but not stop their attacks!

The other monsters also seemed to suddenly understand the value of the bone helmet and began evolving them.

The giant demon beast in the rear remained calm and steady, as it seemed it didn’t need to intervene in the battle at this point.

Owen’s face was solemn. He knew how powerful the enemy he faced was, but what did it matter? His younger sister was standing behind him!

In his former life, Owen often saw warriors in movies and novels exclaim before a brave fight, "Step over my dead body!" But Owen would never say that! He wanted to survive by stepping over the corpses of these monsters.

Thinking of stepping over his body to kill his sister? Dream on!

He calculated in his mind: over three hundred people from the Horizon Bureau, more than forty people in the village, and about four hundred monsters.

Owen flicked his wrist and the Chain Lock flew up, elongating and swirling around the three of them layer by layer, creating a Chain Fortress to protect them.

The monsters roared and charged, and in an instant, the outside of the Chain Fortress was covered with demons.

Owen urged his Flying Sword, its cold light flashing so that its body couldn’t be seen clearly. In its light, one monster after another was dissected into countless fragments, falling to the ground.

But more monsters kept coming. After constant evolution and reinforcement, their resistance to the Flying Sword had risen to a new level. The speed at which the sword dismembered them was visibly slowing down.

Vanessa marveled inwardly: Little Owen’s spiritual energy seems never to run out!

Maintaining the Flying Sword required terrifying amounts of spiritual energy, but how long had he been holding on like this? He had been in this state since the beginning of the battle.

And the Chain Lock Magical Instrument, which had constantly maintained the fortress state while being attacked by dozens of monsters, also consumed a large amount of spiritual energy.

An ordinary Second Level cultivator simply couldn’t sustain such consumption.

"This guy... he wasn’t bragging. He’s so strong!"

Inside Owen, the Great Seal Apparition released a huge amount of spiritual energy, seemingly providing an endless life force.

Each Responsive Object was made from a massive amount of spiritual energy, and Owen had many Responsive Objects.

He could persist for a long time, but he wasn’t planning to compete with the monsters in terms of endurance. The monsters could directly absorb the surrounding evil energy, regenerating their bodies. No one could win a battle of attrition against them.

The Chain Fortress was incredibly strong, with Owen using his Flying Sword to clear the demons that had climbed onto it.

When he estimated that the number of demon beasts he had killed with his Flying Sword, plus those still attacking, was close to four hundred, he shouted, and the Gourd Responding Items flew into the air.

The mouth of the Gourd faced downwards, and horrifying Spiritual Flames descended from the sky!

This time, Owen poured out all the Spiritual Flames in the Gourd Responding Items.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Flames swept across, and huge fiery dragons lunged towards the ground. After touching down, they rose again, creating a sea of fire...

The monsters on the ground, which had been cut into pieces and were struggling to regenerate, were instantly burned to ashes."Monsters that had not yet been killed were writhing and howling in pain within the sea of fire. They were powerless, bumping into each other while their bodies were slowly melting.

Owen Bertram’s estimation was correct. If he didn’t release all of the Spiritual Flame, it would be impossible to annihilate the numerous monsters in one fell swoop.

Owen no longer worried about the outside and released his Spiritual Energy to protect the three of them.

This time, the Spiritual Energy came from the Peach of Response, with an extremely powerful healing ability. Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow felt the scorching heat of the sea of fire as her strength waned, but Owen’s Spiritual Energy brought her waves of coolness, nourishing her. Even if she sustained some damage, she would recover instantly.

Vanessa was shocked and stunned by this change.

She witnessed several particularly powerful demon beasts burning and, driven by pain and rage, attacking each other. They stabbed their claws into the bodies of their fellow monsters, and in this way, they became entangled with each other. Gradually motionless within the flames, their colossal bodies shrank, finally disappearing completely.

Vanessa suddenly recalled, "You asked me about Artifact making?"

Owen nodded honestly.

Vanessa also remembered that she seemed to have "educated" this fellow. She told him that the way of Artifact making was not to be underestimated and that if he couldn’t handle it, he would "play with fire", advising him not to aim too high.

Look at the Spiritual Flame covering the ground outside. Was it awkward?

Vanessa asked, "Did you have these Spiritual Flames even back then?"

"Yes."

"Were they also given to you by the Wealth King?"

"Yes."

Forever the scapegoat, Uncle.

Vanessa stopped speaking and, thinking back, she understood Owen’s layout for this battle: using himself as bait, hiding in the Chain Fortress, and attracting all the demon beasts.

Furthermore, he tried to chop as many monsters as possible with the Flying Sword. In this way, when the Spiritual Flame swept the ground, the difficulty would be somewhat reduced.

If all the monster beasts were intact, some would likely escape after the Spiritual Flame started burning.

It seemed simple to say, but when it came to execution, Owen was alone against four hundred monsters, and all the pressure was on him!

Vanessa suddenly realized the biggest difference between Owen and the young talents she encountered before in Waves Prefecture or even the entire Wood Dynasty.

Those Heaven’s Chosen ones had smooth sailing since childhood, growing up among countless praises.

But Owen grew up with hardships, and his character had been honed to be incredibly tenacious.

He faced difficulties head-on and had a thorough understanding of his circumstances. He would not hesitate to confront them, persevering and never giving in. He would never be brought down or scared off!

Vanessa remembered several other Heaven’s Chosen ones. If they were put in the same perilous situation, she secretly shook her head, thinking that they would have panicked and tried every means to escape, only to be chased and killed by monsters in the end.

The Spiritual Flames on the outside burned for as long as it took to finish a pot of tea. Almost all the monsters had been reduced to ashes. The scene, which had just been full of encircling monsters and a vision of the apocalypse, was now empty and desolate, with a clear horizon.

The Chain Lock Magical Instrument that surrounded Owen and the other two had turned red-hot, almost melting!

"Huff—"

Owen let out a sigh and reclaimed both the Chain Lock and the Gourd Responding Items.

Empty inside the Gourd, only a few remnants of the flame remained. These were specially preserved as Spiritual Flame seeds. If he wanted to use these flames in the future, they would need to be nourished with continuous Spiritual Energy.
