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

Chapter 94: Chapter94-Farewell



Chapter 94: Chapter94-Farewell



It was unclear how much time had passed.

After exhausting themselves in various ways, Owen eventually awoke from unconsciousness.

As he opened his eyes, he realized that the handcuffs binding him were gone.

Startled, he quickly sat up and looked around. Raina was already awake, sitting quietly nearby, her gaze complex as she looked at Owen, her white hands tightly clenched.

In Raina's eyes, Owen saw killing intent, regret, resentment, and anger...

Owen felt a mix of emotions, knowing that both had suffered losses from this incident. As a man, he felt it was his responsibility to take the initiative, so he cleared his throat and said: "Just now..."

Hearing Owen speak, Raina's forehead veins immediately pulsed, and the killing intent around her sharply intensified.

Owen awkwardly scratched his nose and tried to change the subject, "How are you feeling?" As soon as he spoke, Owen felt the atmosphere grow even more uncomfortable.

He had never experienced anything like this before and didn't know how to handle it.

Raina had originally planned to kill Owen for taking her purity, something she couldn't accept.

But considering the circumstances, both of them hadn't anticipated this outcome.

Moreover, Owen had come here and fought the eagle without hesitation to protect her, making him somewhat of a savior.

She couldn't bring herself to kill Owen.

"Let's pretend this never happened. If I hear even a whisper of this..."

Raina raised her hand and blasted the collapsed tunnel entrance, then dashed out immediately.

She didn't want to stay in this painful place for another moment.

As Raina left, Owen watched her back with a complex expression.

Although this was an accidental, fleeting encounter, Owen felt a newfound sense of responsibility.

Just then, the system's prompt sounded abruptly.

"Congratulations on completing the hidden task: Rescuing Raina. You've obtained the skill book-Contract Spell."

Owen's attention was immediately drawn to the glowing Contract Spell book before him. Contract Spells were incredibly rare and valuable.

Kyrik's current prosperity was largely due to its founding emperor, who had obtained a

unique Contract Spell that allowed him to form mutually beneficial contracts with certain spellbeasts.

Many had coveted Kyrik's Contract Spell and tried to obtain it at any cost, but all had failed, as it was closely guarded by Kyrik.

Now, this Contract Spell was a reward for completing a hidden task!

It had to be extraordinary.

As Owen examined the book closely, he was delighted.

This Contract Spell could allow him to form contractual relationships with any creature. Unlike Kyrik's Contract Spell, which could only form contracts with certain spellbeasts and came with inherent risks, the system's reward Contract Spell had no such issues.

The contracts formed were unbreakable and would last until one party perished, similar to the contract Owen had with his Fallen Angel. This realization excited Owen immensely. He had always harbored a slight unease about his bond with Seraphina, feeling that the connection formed during her incubation was insufficient.

Now, with the Contract Spell, he could ensure an unbreakable bond.

Without hesitation, Owen retrieved the incubator from his storage space. Following the Contract Spell instructions, he used his blood to draw runes, forming a contract imbued with an aura of immortality.

Once he confirmed there were no issues with the contract, Owen pressed the blood-red contract against Seraphina's egg.

The contract seeped into the eggshell through the pores, vanishing inside.

Moments later, Owen felt a faint mental connection emanating from the egg.

As he focused on it, he felt a sense of kinship, almost as if the little one inside was calling him "Daddy."

Owen's face lit up with joy. It seemed the Contract Spell was working!

He had successfully contracted with Seraphina's egg!

In high spirits, Owen fed the eagle's beast core to Seraphina's egg.

While the beast core was precious, Owen had no use for it himself. He had obtained it

specifically for Seraphina.

Given Seraphina's excellent potential, being nourished by such a high-quality beast core would undoubtedly result in her hatching with extraordinary strength.

Owen couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Hatch soon, little one. This world needs someone like you to stir things up!"

...

Time passed quickly.

A new day had just begun, and a piece of news from Academy City shook the continent! Owen, the wielder of the Godslayer Staff, along with Leslie, the eldest daughter of Azure's top warlord family and a former wastrel, had overthrown the Azure monarchy!

Many mages across the continent were initially skeptical upon hearing the news.

"The Azure Kingdom has existed for over a thousand years, with deep roots. How could Owen and Leslie possibly overthrow it?"

"Yeah, even if Owen is undeniably the greatest prodigy, what does he have to match the Azure Kingdom? He's still so young; how could he manage it?"

As mages debated the matter, more details from the previous day's events began to surface.

"What?! King Aldric of Azure Kingdom, along with the royal family members, was forced to flee the capital under the protection of the Luna Academy's dean!"

"And the renowned Royal Golden Twelve, they were all wiped out!"

"When did Owen become so powerful?"

"This isn't just a rumor; it's true. Too many people witnessed it. I heard the queen has already committed suicide in despair!"

"Not only that, but I also heard that all eight of the noble families in the capital have pledged allegiance to Leslie, supporting her ascension to the throne! As for those families that refused to submit, they were all massacred by Charlotte, leaving a trail of corpses!"

"Now, Leslie and Owen's reputation is unmatched. Overnight, dukes and marquises from across the Azure Kingdom have declared their allegiance to Leslie, recognizing Duke Charles's household as the new royal family!"

"The change in power happened so quickly. Even though the academy prominently featured the news in the papers, it still feels unreal."

"If it's hard to imagine how Owen and Leslie achieved this, you should read the academy's new book, *The Last Night of Azure*, which details the firsthand experiences of the famous

Edward!"

"I just read the book. The power of Owen and Leslie is terrifying. Owen even killed multiple Fallen Angels, he's practically inhuman. And Leslie, by herself, managed to cripple two Elders of the Council, her achievements are no less impressive than Owen's!" Among the citizens of the capital, yesterday's events were the main topic of discussion. Whether it was Owen slaughtering the Fallen Angels or Leslie taking down two Elders of the Council, the people were left in awe, stunned by their immense power.

Meanwhile, at the round table of Academy City's highest council...

The seven lifetime professors of Academy City were seated around the round table.

These professors were jointly selected by Academy City for their high moral standing and unrivaled strength as top-tier mages. They rarely met unless it was a significant moment, as they all had their own matters to attend to.

But now, they had been suddenly summoned by the head lifetime professor, Alan. The reason was clear to them: the Azure Kingdom had undergone a regime change!

This event was bound to impact the continent's political landscape.

And as Academy City was a key witness and recorder of history, they had to pay close attention

to this matter.

With the other six lifetime professors seated, the head professor, Alan, set down his copy of

"The Last Night of the Azure Royalty" and nodded in satisfaction. He turned to Edward, who

stood at the edge of the round table, and praised him:

"Edward, you've done an excellent job with this. The detailed content of this book has

garnered much attention and thought. This is a responsibility to history and a significant boost to the academy's reputation."
