"Could this be the Judgment Light Sword that Emily gave to Master Owen?"
Benedict's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't seen Owen use this skill before, so it must have been a recent gift from Emily.
For Owen to learn it in such a short time was nothing short of extraordinary.
However, long-range magic, like powerful spells and even forbidden magic, usually required a long casting time.
Typically, such spells were used for farming monsters.
Owen had the Wolf Guard to hold off the zombies; there was no need for him to use such time-consuming skills.
Owen ignored the thoughts of Benedict and the others. When the first light sword condensed, he felt an inexplicable lightness within, accelerating the condensation process significantly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
The sound of slicing through the air echoed as the light sword above Owen's head split into two, then four, then eight... rapidly multiplying at a visible speed, exuding a pure and holy aura.
Seeing this, Benedict, who had just thought Owen's casting time might be too long, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
In just a single breath, twenty-four light swords had condensed.
Each sword emanated an aura strong enough to threaten a silver-tier level 3!
How did he do that?
Benedict and the other Wolf Guard exchanged incredulous looks.
They had seen skills similar to the Judgment Light Sword before, but they typically took at least ten breaths to condense.
Moreover, the number of light swords Owen had conjured far exceeded anything they had seen.
Was the gap between a genius and ordinary people really this vast?
Their faces were full of astonishment.
Then they suddenly realized, if the zombies began a massive uprising, surging like a tidal wave, the situation could become dire...
Benedict and the others turned pale.
But before they could voice their concerns.
Owen waved his hand forward, and the twenty-four light swords, swirling with abundant water elements, suddenly shot towards the mummies below the Pharaoh's Tower.
With the blessing of Starlit, the light swords moved at an astonishing speed, creating a piercing whistling sound as they left long trails of pale blue mist in their wake, resembling rainbows under the light.
The mummies patrolling the outskirts of the Pharaoh's Tower, blocking strangers from approaching, barely noticed the anomaly.
As their gaunt heads lifted, the light swords pierced their bodies, pinning them to the yellow sand.
Then, the water elements on the light swords exploded, forming powerful shockwaves like cascading waterfalls, splashing countless white water droplets at incredible speed, piercing and annihilating the surrounding mummies.
Sizzle~
The harsh sound of corrosion rang out.
The pure water elements in the light swords, upon contact with the mummies, acted like boiling oil on a fire, rapidly decaying their bodies before turning them into points of light and dissipating.
After a series of explosive sounds.
Owen immediately felt a surge in experience points. In an instant, over a hundred mummies had died under the light swords.
His experience bar shot up like a rocket, quickly advancing to one-tenth!
Starlit's level bar also grew significantly.
And this was just the result of a single attack!
Owen was very satisfied with this rapid growth.
Gradual improvement was not his style.
At the same time, as Owen swiftly annihilated over a hundred mummies, the desert surrounding the Pharaoh's Tower suddenly began to tremble.
More mummies crawled out from beneath the yellow sand, their hideous faces charging towards Owen with explosive speed.
Their sheer numbers caused massive tremors with each step.
Benedict and the others watched in horror at this scene.
Although they had anticipated this to some extent.
But faced with the reality of an overwhelming zombie horde, even they had no choice but to consider a temporary retreat!
Their hearts filled with fear, but Owen took a deep breath, his eyes not showing any trace of fear. Instead, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
To him, these mummies were not just mummies; they were walking experience packs!
In an instant, with a thought, more Judgment Light Swords floated above his head, their blades shimmering with water light.
Then they whistled forward!
The mummies charged fearlessly, ferociously sprinting with yellow sand billowing behind them.
However, as they approached, what awaited them were countless light swords and sharp, terrifying sword auras!
Where the light swords passed, mummies were cut into several segments, the cuts smooth as mirrors.
The water elements left in the wounds quickly infiltrated, decaying the mummies like clay, which then scattered to the ground.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The entire yellow sand area was filled with crisscrossing sword auras and the sounds of mummies falling!
Meanwhile, the experience points Owen gained from slaying mummies soared rapidly!
Especially Starlit's experience—it was getting closer and closer to level 2.
Once it reached level 2, not only would it passively provide faster speed, but its power would also be much stronger!
"Good, if I keep this up, I should be able to break through to silver-tier level 1 in less than half an hour."
Owen calculated silently, then smiled with satisfaction.
The gap between bronze-tier level 9 and silver-tier level 1 might seem small, but the difference in this major tier was immense.
Under normal circumstances, a silver-tier level 1 mage could even battle three bronze-tier level 9 mages!
Owen could already defeat opponents across tiers, and once he advanced to silver-tier, his combat power would be immeasurable!
Following behind Owen as they advanced towards the Pharaoh's Tower, Benedict and the others were dumbfounded by the constant slaughter of zombies by the light swords.
Why did this zombie army, which had made countless mages tremble, seem so fragile and weak in front of Owen?
The zombies couldn't even get close to Owen before being pierced by light swords and quickly perishing.
It felt like they weren't on a dangerous battlefield but were on a leisurely sightseeing tour!
It was simply a crushing advance!
Meanwhile,
As the mummy army was disturbed, the billowing yellow sand and fluctuations quickly attracted the attention of some nearby mages.
"What an incredible fluctuation! It seems to be coming from the direction of Pharaoh's Tower. Is someone trying to conquer it?"
"How is that possible? Pharaoh's Tower is a cursed place. So many mages have tried to conquer it and met their doom there. It's been a no-man's land for a century. People don't even pass by it, they take detours to avoid it!"
A group of silver-tier mages stood at a distance, looking on in astonishment.
Pharaoh's Tower had always been desolate and quiet, and it had been years since such disturbances were seen there.
But since they were nearby, they decided to band together and take a look.
If they encountered any danger, they could leave together.
As they approached Pharaoh's Tower,
They noticed that the zombies that should have been scattered across the yellow sand had vanished.
If not for the dense, chaotic footprints left in the sand, they would have doubted if the terrifying zombies had ever existed.
"The cursed bandage zombies have disappeared? What's going on? The zombies here shouldn't be able to be annihilated!"
The closer they got, the more alarmed the mages became.
The zombies that should have been everywhere were now nowhere to be found!
As they moved deeper, they saw the chaotic fluctuations emanating from the base of Pharaoh's Tower.
Then they saw dense light swords, controlled by a handsome young man, tearing through the zombie horde, mowing down the zombies like grass.
Every zombie struck by a light sword emitted water vapor and then turned into points of light.
The zombies were really being killed!
"How...how is he doing this?"
A group of mages stood in shock, their jaws nearly dropping.
"Could it be that he killed all those zombies by himself? But his tier seems to be only bronze-tier level 9!"
"Bronze-tier level 9? He looks familiar. Isn't that Owen?"
"Owen?"
"Yes, Leslie's fiancé, recently ranked as the continent's top genius, rumored to wield the Godslayer Staff!"
"Oh, this is astonishing!"
As the group of silver-tier mages continued to be repeatedly shocked, Owen, who had been sweeping through the zombies, stepped into the first floor of Pharaoh's Tower!
As he stepped into the floor,
His experience bar suddenly emitted a burst of light.
Silver-tier level 1, he finally broke through!
