Chapter 323: A Little Girl’s Tantrum Creates a Big Scene
Kotana was accidentally summoned by Phoenix. Due to certain reasons, she couldn’t return, which made him feel a bit guilty. After all, Kotana looked so young, and because of his mistake, she had to leave her parents and homeland. So, he didn’t take her as a disciple and doted on her very much, making the Mage Department feel like her maternal home.
This resulted in no one daring to offend Kotana in the Academy City. Moreover, as an Elf Royal, her talent and potential were unparalleled. Reaching Legendary was a sure thing, and becoming a Demigod was just a matter of luck. After Phoenix managed to contact the Kingdom of Light Elves and could transport some items, her status became even more special.
In other words, Kotana had both the potential to become a powerhouse and a strong background. People had to give her face and couldn’t easily offend her.
Now, Owen was in the same situation, or even worse. Because the other party clearly possessed the ability to teleport across realms, he couldn’t be offended. Who knows if you made her cry today, a Demigod might come knocking on your door tomorrow for a “heart-to-heart” talk?
This wasn’t a joke. Elves were long-lived species. The number of powerhouses accumulated over the long years couldn’t be said to be in droves, but it was definitely not just one or two. And with a large number, it was normal to have one or two Demigods.
And don’t think Demigods were weak. If a Legendary could destroy a city, then a truly enraged Demigod could destroy a country.
It was no joke. Take the Undead Demigods like the Queen of Shadows, for example. Even though Owen scared off the young Queen, it was because she disliked trouble and was countered by him, so she fled. As for the Blood Prince, even after exhausting himself, ten Legendary Abyssal Demons with infinite teleportation couldn’t take him down. Owen had to use many trump cards to solve it. One must know that in that battle, he had all the advantages of time, location, and people.
Even so, these Demigods weren’t in their prime. It could be said that Owen’s victory was a bit unfair.
Theoretically, given enough time, any of these Undead Demigods could trigger a small-scale undead apocalypse.
Wiping out the Empire wasn’t realistic, but massacring a few hundred thousand people in a city was a piece of cake, and it was very difficult to catch or restrict them. In other words, this kind of behavior was replicable. As long as there was no way to deal with them, similar scenes would continue to appear.
This was the terrifying aspect of powerhouses. It wasn’t about how many people they could kill at once, but their unrestricted freedom. They could come and go as they pleased, all while causing large-scale damage. Even in Owen’s previous world, such monsters would be feared by all countries.
Even the unfathomable Academy City had to pay a considerable price to seal a Demigod. As for completely killing one, it wasn’t impossible, but it was too difficult.
Overall, a Demigod who truly excelled in combat was invincible in the Material Plane.
At this time, countless water vapors gathered above the entire duel arena, even extending to the clouds in the sky, as if the sea of clouds had descended to the mortal world. The scene was spectacular.
“As expected of someone favored by the Water Elemental Lord. Although she can’t fully utilize the power of the Water Drop yet, the momentum has already surpassed ordinary Legendaries,” Kevin Flynn said with admiration.
As a Legendary Alchemist, he could create a grand scene, but he couldn’t stir up the wind and clouds so easily, alerting the entire Academy City. In this short time, several Legendaries had appeared in this small, temporary duel arena of the Alchemy Department.
One must know that every Legendary in the Academy City had important responsibilities and was usually as busy as a dog. To be alerted and come out here, it obviously wouldn’t be a small matter.
Although Owen’s face was expressionless, he felt like he had eaten shit. It was just an ordinary duel, how did it turn into such a big scene? How would he end it later?
Now he deeply understood the old saying: “Women are trouble.” Coupled with the attributes of a mischievous child and destructive power that surpassed ordinary people, it was simply a disaster.
As Owen continued to complain, the water vapor from the sea of clouds falling from the sky turned into waves and continuously poured into the duel arena. In the blink of an eye, the arena turned into a giant pond. If it weren’t for the intervention of several Legendaries, the students present might have drowned on the spot. The rest would depend on their swimming skills. From this, it could be seen that Kotana, who caused all this, hadn’t considered the consequences at all.
Seeing Kotana’s relentless attitude, Owen sighed. It seemed he couldn’t keep a low profile anymore.
Originally, he had planned to be good and continue to lie low, just like in the Northland, secretly developing his Hydra in the Academy City, and finally replacing it. But who would have thought that there would be constant accidents? Now, he was forced to reveal his trump cards, and the reason was a little girl throwing a tantrum!
Even if he admitted defeat on the spot, it would be useless. Not to mention whether Kotana would agree, just attracting the attention of so many Legendaries had already violated his original intention.
However, having an unconventional duel wasn’t without its benefits.
Low-key development was safe, but it was also slow. If he made a name for himself, countless people would come to join him, even teachers.
Risk and opportunity coexisted. It depended on Owen’s choice.
Actually, Owen had no choice now. He had to use this opportunity to establish his persona well, making himself appear noble, high-end, and difficult to provoke. Only in this way could he get rid of useless probing and malice.
Because no one liked to provoke the strong, he had to appear strong enough.
Thinking of this, Owen ignited Fiendfyre and reached into the Void, grasping something.
With a pull, countless pitch-black flames spread from the Void, even dyeing the all-consuming Fiendfyre black, colliding with the surrounding water flow.
“Water Elemental!” Owen frowned. What she was driving wasn’t just ordinary water, but Water Elemental.
Although it was just two more words, the essence was vastly different, just like the difference between ordinary flames and Fiendfyre.
“This is more interesting.” Owen grinned. Since he had decided to show his muscles, he needed a suitable opponent. Otherwise, facing ants and having to carry out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade wasn’t impressive, it was foolish.
As Owen withdrew his hand, the weapon hidden in the Void also revealed its true appearance. It was a spear, or something else, with a hilt but more like a twisted metal rod. However, the almost endless black flames made anyone dare not underestimate it.
“Another Semi-Divine Artifact.” Kevin Flynn twitched the corner of his mouth as if he had a toothache. After glancing at the somewhat embarrassed Phoenix, he sighed resignedly and activated the various defensive alchemy arrays of the Alchemy Department.
Although the two on the field weren’t Legendaries, they were wielding two Semi-Divine Artifacts and possessed some kind of terrifying Origin power. Once they clashed, the scene would be more intense than two Legendaries going head-to-head. Without some preparation, the Alchemy Department might be removed from the academy.
Phoenix was also a bit embarrassed. After all, he could see that if it weren’t for Kotana being aggressive and taking out the Semi-Divine Artifact first, the other party wouldn’t be forced to respond.
The problem was that he couldn’t blame Kotana either. He could only help clean up the mess and join forces with the Legendaries present to reinforce the barrier of the duel arena.
