Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Chapter125-Order Field
William, the former Grand Elder of the Council of Elders and a master-tier mage, was killed by Owen!

Edward’s hand, holding the quill, trembled slightly, and his mouth involuntarily gaped open in shock.

A master-tier mage!

The cornerstone of every major kingdom, now fallen!

And he was slain by Owen, this rising star!

All the other prodigies and mages present looked on in shock and horror at the scene before them.

In their subconscious minds, a master-tier mage was an invincible existence!

Not just them, but even the forces behind them would only treat such powerful beings with respect and never dare to offend them. Yet now, Owen had slain one!

How long had it been since such an event occurred on the continent?

At this moment, throughout the entire capital, everyone was gazing up at Owen’s silhouette in the sky, speechless and shocked into silence.

With the fall of William, the master-tier mage, it seemed as if the heavens themselves sensed it.

A bright star descended from the celestial river in the sky, transforming into a brilliant meteor that illuminated the continent.

It streaked across the firmament, leaving a long trail before it finally blossomed like a dazzling firework, then vanished into oblivion.

“A meteor descends, and the void wails—this signifies the fall of a master-tier mage…”

All major forces with their eyes already on the direction of the Azure Kingdom and the imperial capital were now even more alarmed, filled with intense shock.

A master-tier mage had fallen!

William?

The Grand Elder of the Fallen Angel clan?!

What exactly happened there?

A master-tier mage had fallen there.

…

Amidst the chaotic energy waves.

Owen, who was at the center of everyone’s attention, was continuously enveloped in radiant light, the glow of constant leveling up.

After the system notification ended, Owen’s tier jumped from platinum-tier level 7 to diamond-tier level 1!

To leap from platinum-tier straight to diamond-tier!

Such an enormous leap was a qualitative transformation.

After all, a platinum-tier could only be considered a top-tier strong figure in a kingdom but not its pillar or a top powerhouse.

Only a diamond-tier mage is a pillar in any empire, with their words and actions affecting the future of the realm!

And now, Owen had truly stepped into this tier, not just possessing combat power comparable to a diamond-tier!

With the continuous increase in level, Owen clearly felt his body undergoing tremendous transformation.

It seemed as though every cell was being enveloped and washed by mana. Every piece of flesh was strengthened and fortified by mana.

His mind power had almost become tangible, forming a vast sea of consciousness at his brow, radiating genuinely terrifying mental waves like an invisible hand stirring the void before him.

As Owen silently sensed the transformation and enhancement of his body, the system prompt sounded once more.

“Congratulations to the host for eliminating the Council of Elders elder, unlocking the hidden achievement—Council of Elders Slayer.”

Owen’s heart skipped a beat, not because of the achievement itself but because of the rich rewards it brought!

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Order Field!”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Tree of World!”

“Order Field?”

Owen’s gaze first fell on the [Order Field] displayed on the system interface.

He previously received the Mana Void from the system, which was surprisingly powerful and dominant, playing a crucial role in turning the tide against formidable opponents, including the recent elimination of the former Grand Elder of the Council of Elders.

Now, with the system rewarding another domain, Owen was undeniably intrigued, especially given the name of this field, which felt tailor-made for him.

As Owen focused on it, the Order Field immediately integrated into his body, becoming something akin to a dantian, suspended in his abdomen and emitting a special, profound wave.

Under this influence, Owen’s Order of Fire and Order of Thunder seemed to be drawn to it, soon converging within the Order Field.

As the two [Order]s converged, the light emanating from the Order Field grew ever more intense.

At the same time, the various mysteries and functions of the domain surged into his mind.

After a brief period of absorption, Owen narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile of excitement appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The Order Field primarily had two functions.

First, it allowed [Order]s to gather within it, enabling them to coexist harmoniously, preventing the conflict between different [Order]s.

Currently, Owen has two [Order]s within him.

Thanks to the Armament Merge and techniques for using both [Order]s, he has a strong command over them, which has prevented any issues from arising.

If it were any other mage, even a diamond-tier mage, they would inevitably encounter issues of mutual [Order] repulsion once they mastered two [Order]s.

After all, [Order]s are extremely special and powerful entities in this world. Having control over even one is considered a great fortune.

Attempting to wield two [Order]s could lead to mutual repulsion, potentially resulting in destruction.

Although Owen does not currently face this issue, if he were to attempt to wield a third [Order], the problem of [Order]s repelling each other would become unavoidable, and it would be nearly unsolvable!

However, the Order Field now perfectly helps Owen resolve this issue. Within the Order Field, Owen’s mastery over the [Order]s is also deepening, seemingly merging completely with the [Order].

Besides this benefit, what makes the Order Field even more valuable to Owen is its ability to gradually develop a new [Order]—one unique to Owen himself!

This prospect excited Owen immensely!

[Order]s are rare wonders of the world, and there aren’t many to begin with. They are often found in unique locations, and many already have owners.

Collecting multiple [Order]s and mastering them is an incredibly challenging task!

Yet now, the Order Field could create a unique [Order] of its own.

If others were to learn that Owen possessed such an extraordinary domain, they would likely stop at nothing to target him.

Since [Order]s are extremely rare and cause a stir on the continent whenever they appear, the allure of a domain capable of producing [Order]s is immense to major forces.

This was truly a significant gain!

Owen quickly calmed his breathing and turned his attention to the system’s other reward.

The Tree of World.

It appeared as a small, lush tree about the length of an arm, with leaves that were green as jade, emitting a gentle, soothing green light.

Just by looking at it, one could sense its rich life force.

However, aside from this, Owen did not perceive any particularly special attributes.

Owen glanced at the system’s description—Tree of World, the source of all life.

It was a simple introduction with no details about its uses or other information, which made Owen frown slightly.

However, since it was a system reward with a grand title, bearing the name of the world, it was clearly no ordinary item.

While Owen was pondering the Tree of World, the system’s voice sounded again.

“The host is temporarily not suited for a direct level-up, but the host can choose whether to break through.”

“Current EXP bar: 5,000,000/1,000,000.”

Upon seeing this, Owen was taken aback.

Was this about choosing the timing of his breakthrough?

While Owen was still puzzled, the mana and spirit within him suddenly felt drained by some force, leaving his body emaciated as he collapsed backward.

“The three minutes are up…”

An overwhelming weakness engulfed him, making Owen feel restless, as though his body, starved for days, had undergone intense exertion, causing indescribable discomfort.

His spirit was exhausted, his eyelids heavy as if filled with lead, slowly drooping shut.

The skill Supreme Order was indeed formidable, allowing Owen to borrow a portion of his future strength and elevate himself to a level comparable to master-tier in a short time.

However, like all similar secret arts, no power comes without cost. After using it, a corresponding price must be paid!

As Owen’s body became extremely weak and he fell backward, descending from the sky, he felt utterly out of control, with the wind whistling past his ears, growing ever more intense.

In his current frail state, hitting the ground would likely result in serious injury or death.

But at that moment, he suddenly caught a whiff of a fragrant breeze.

He then felt soft, warm arms catching his falling body.

Owen struggled to open his eyes and indeed saw Leslie holding him, her expression somewhat complex.

“Rest well. Leave the rest to me,” she said.
