Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Chapter59-Do You Think Only You Have the Power of a God?
The pure black eyes, each the size of a millstone, wriggled within their sockets like the deepest black worms, exuding an indescribable evil aura, as if the deepest pits of hell were trying to drag anyone who looked into them into the abyss.

Owen’s gaze met those dense eyes, his head ringing, nearly exploding in an instant.

Everything before him plunged into darkness, losing all sense of the surrounding environment.

An unprecedented feeling of unease surged within Owen.

This attack must be the strongest killing move that Sean and Robert, these two platinum-tier mages, could unleash together!

Such an attack, imbued with the demon god’s power, even if just a sliver, was divine power—something no ordinary mage could withstand!

“Divine power? Do you think only you possess divine power?”

Owen steadied himself, grasping the Godslayer Staff tightly. Then, golden light surged forth, transforming into a Guardian Shield that stood before him!

“Die!”

“Go to hell!”

Sean and Robert, their sanity nearly eroded by the demon god’s whispers, had eyes turned pitch black, void of any whites, and they screamed at Owen with manic fury.

Then, black light shot out from the deep eyes of the demon god behind them!

The black light was like spreading black ink, filled with extreme pollution power. Wherever it passed, daylight turned into night, and any light it touched was devoured completely!

As soon as Owen’s Guardian Shield appeared, the black light seemed to already be there, crossing the gap of time and space and striking it fiercely.

The arc on the surface of the Guardian Shield flickered, and the light of the demon god, which could blacken space and light, could not penetrate it, as if it was forever frozen in place.

Seeing this, Sean and Robert’s chaotic minds were shocked, their faces full of horror and disbelief.

This move was their combined effort, bolstered by the sacrifices of so many zombies. Not even a platinum-tier mage, let alone a diamond-tier mage, could withstand this terrifying power.

After all, it contained the power of the demon god!

As they stood in absolute terror, their pupils suddenly shrank again!

They saw the arc of the Guardian Shield that blocked the demon god’s light wriggle slightly, as if an invisible hand was reflecting the demon god’s light back.

The returning demon god’s light grew thicker, like a black trunk, retracing its path, shattering the void, and striking the demon god’s head fiercely.

Bang!

The demon god’s head trembled, and the blood-red eyes that had opened were pierced by the reflected demon god’s light!

Boom!

Countless cracks spread from the demon god’s head, and Sean and Robert bore the brunt of the backlash.

Their eyes exploded like bombs, blood splattering, leaving sunken eye sockets.

Through their eye sockets, one could even see the brains shattered by the shockwave!

Their expressions froze in death, never understanding why the demon god’s light failed to kill Owen, and instead was bizarrely reflected back, growing several times stronger!

This was completely beyond their comprehension.

As their pupils constricted and they died on the spot, the Guardian Shield in front of Owen gradually receded, transforming back into the Godslayer Staff.

Looking at the dissipating demon god’s head and the fallen bodies of Sean and Robert, Owen gripped the Godslayer Staff even tighter, a deep satisfaction on his face.

The demon god’s light had been extremely terrifying; even the Supreme Sword had only managed to heavily damage it, not completely dispel it.

If the demon god’s light had actually struck him, with its immense power, he would have been severely injured if not killed.

Fortunately, the Guardian Shield could block and reflect projectile-type magic attacks, tripling their power in return.

Even the power of a demon god, as long as it was a projectile-type attack, could still be countered by the Guardian Shield!

Owen glanced around the valley; with Sean and Robert dead, the remaining zombies all collapsed to the ground, their eyes dim and lifeless, as if they had become true corpses.

Seeing this, Owen immediately walked over to the two bodies and took their storage rings.

The storage rings appeared extremely luxurious. Owen rubbed them for a moment, then flooded them with mind power, shattering the residual mental imprints left by the two.

Inside, he found a mountain of mana stones, numerous supplies, and various miscellaneous items.

The most notable and pleasing to Owen was a yellowed skill book—**Corpse Animation Spell**!

This magic, which could turn corpses into his servants, intrigued Owen greatly.

As his power grew, especially with his cooperation with Leslie and their plans against the Azure Kingdom’s royal family, it became increasingly difficult to rely on solo efforts.

He needed a powerful and completely loyal group of mages.

However, achieving this was obviously not easy. It required a lot of time and resources, both of which he lacked.

But now, with the Corpse Animation Spell, once he learned it, he could use corpses as soldiers, as puppets, essentially becoming a one-man army!

He believed that even if these zombies lacked intelligence, as long as they followed orders and didn’t betray him at crucial moments, even the strongest mages would be drained of their mana and perish against them.

In high spirits, Owen immediately began to peruse and study the Corpse Animation Spell.

“This Corpse Animation Spell is indeed exquisite. It requires a high level of mind power, but that’s not an issue for me. Let’s use the bodies of these two as practice; after all, they were platinum-tier powerhouses.”

Once Owen thoroughly familiarized himself with the Corpse Animation Spell, he looked down at Sean and Robert’s bodies, mind power emanating from his brow.

Initially, this mind power was as gentle as moonlight, but as soon as it was ignited by a small flame, it transformed into a white flame waterfall, enveloping the bodies.

Under the burning of the spiritual fire, the bodies began to stiffen, and their dissipated auras gradually transformed into Owen’s unique aura.

It was as if they had become extensions of Owen himself.

Deep within Owen’s mind, he felt a subtle connection with these two bodies.

The burning of the spiritual fire did not last long before Owen’s face turned slightly pale.

These two were, after all, platinum-tier mages. Even in death, the residual mana and their mind power within their bodies were difficult to cleanse.

Fortunately, he successfully followed the Corpse Animation Spell and transformed their bodies.

Owen wiped a thin layer of sweat from his forehead as Sean and Robert’s hollow-eyed bodies stood up, stiffly standing beside Owen like zombies, ready to obey his commands.

Owen tested their ability to perform actions and cast magic spells, and they executed them as instructed, like robots following commands to the letter.

Satisfied, Owen then looked at the two fallen bloodwolves and the other zombies.

He proceeded to store them in his storage ring.

As they were merely corpses, they did not cause any rejection or confusion within the storage ring, quickly filling it to capacity.

Owen was very pleased with this.

Such a massive zombie army would be a formidable weapon!

After completing these tasks, Owen walked into the storeroom with great anticipation.

From his earlier glimpse, Owen could see that the storeroom contained numerous treasures and mana stones, far surpassing the storage rings of Sean and Robert.

This treasure trove was not just a repository for mana stones but also a backup Kingdom Vault prepared by the Azure royal family.

As Owen stepped inside, he immediately felt a dense wave of mana wash over him, warming his body.

He swallowed hard, his attention completely captivated by the mana stones piled into small mountains before him.

Just one of these small mountains of mana stones would drive every kingdom and power in the world mad!

After all, the value of mana stones was incredibly high due to the pure and vast mana they contained.

Mana stones played an irreplaceable role in tier breakthroughs, staffs, formations, and many other areas.

The fervor for mana stones was deeply ingrained in every mage’s bones.

Even though Owen had known about the abundance of mana stones here, seeing them in person still left him in awe!
