Chapter 207: Chapter207-The Awakening of Madelyn
Under Diana's doubtful gaze, Owen remained calm, and the Supreme Order's power began to radiate from him.
Time reversal was impossible for most people, but for someone wielding the Supreme Order like Owen, it was no challenge!
He could draw upon his future self's power and briefly reverse time, though he couldn't alter the past.
However, witnessing past events was well within his capabilities.
As the Supreme Order's aura spread from Owen, everyone felt an overwhelming pressure weigh down on their hearts.
Soon after, the scene before them blurred, and like a movie being rewound, all the events that had transpired in the ducal mansion began to play out in reverse.
"Wow, is this what time reversal looks like? How in the world did Mr. Owen pull this off?"
Those present were filled with awe as they watched Owen's back, their respect for him reaching new heights.
This ability, which seemed divine in nature, was now under Owen's control.
Even Diana, her eyes wide with shock, muttered to herself, "No wonder the Headmaster wanted me to bring him to the academy. If he joins the academy, I can't imagine the kind of upheaval he'll cause."
As the group's thoughts raced, the scene through the reversed timeline stabilized, and they found themselves looking at Madelyn inside the ducal mansion.
The time reversal began to flow forward normally.
Now, it was as if everyone was there in person, watching the past unfold, though they couldn't touch or speak to Madelyn-nothing they did could affect her.
Bang!
The sudden sound of a door being kicked open echoed through the mansion.
The group watched as the guards stationed at the entrance were thrown back, crashing into the room unconscious, their fate unknown.
"The ducal mansion... I've finally arrived."
A cold, iron-like voice came from the entrance, and then a figure in a black robe with dark markings on his face-Taylor-stepped into view.
The group, already on edge, trembled with fear at the sight.
They now knew that the previous attack on the ducal mansion had been carried out by Taylor, the archbishop of the Pyrothrone Kingdom.
And now, here he was, just as they feared.
Taylor's icy gaze swept across the room, quickly locking onto Madelyn. He sensed a unique energy coming from her.
As he focused on her, his expression changed slightly-Madelyn's eyes were blood-red! Blood Eye!
While Taylor stared at her, Madelyn frowned, studying him in return.
She had been about to leave the mansion to purchase some spellbeast crystals for her training, as she'd been feeling unusually hot lately, a sign that she was close to a breakthrough.
But before she could step outside, she encountered this unwelcome black-robed guest- Taylor!
"Indeed, it's the rare Blood Eye! Unfortunately, it hasn't awakened yet, but even so, this is a valuable discovery," Taylor muttered, his eyes gleaming with greed as he confirmed what he
saw.
The Blood Eye was an extremely rare talent, even in Middle Earth.
Before its awakening, it didn't display any remarkable abilities, but once awakened, it became one of the most terrifying gifts-granting not only immense power but also the ability to manifest incredible and mysterious techniques.
"Blood Eye?"
Confusion flickered across Madelyn's face as she heard Taylor's greedy words.
She didn't understand what the so-called Blood Eye was, but one thing was clear: this black- robed mage was up to no good!
The malevolent aura radiating from him made her skin crawl.
"How dare you attack the ducal mansion? Who are you?" Madelyn quickly composed herself, fixing her gaze on Taylor and demanding answers.
Mana began to swirl around her, ready to strike at any moment.
For some time now, Madelyn had been feeling frustrated.
Ever since Owen had appeared and her sister had revealed her true strength, she, once hailed as a genius, had been slowly forgotten.
Watching them grow stronger while she remained stagnant had left her feeling anxious, as if she had become a burden.
Now, with her sister in seclusion and the ducal mansion under attack by an intruder, it was the perfect opportunity for her to take action.
"You must be Owen's sister. You're quite remarkable. With the Blood Eye, you shouldn't be left here to wither. Come with me to the Pyrothrone Kingdom-I'll use you to advance my own power!" Taylor laughed maniacally, reaching out to capture her within his domain.
In an instant, Madelyn, who had been preparing to fight back, found herself completely immobilized.
It was as if an invisible hand had gripped her tightly, preventing her from using any mana. This overwhelming suppression left her feeling deeply frustrated.
The gap in their power was far too vast.
Taylor's hand closed around her throat, and black mana surged like a tide, ready to envelop
her and seal her in eternal darkness.
"Sleep... Sleep..."
Taylor's low voice echoed in the air.
Madelyn's eyelids grew heavier, and just as they were about to close, images of Owen and Leslie flashed through her mind.
If they were in her place, even if they couldn't defeat such a powerful enemy, would they give
in so easily?
This thought ignited a spark within her, and suddenly, a surge of mana burst from her eyes!
In that instant, as Taylor was about to pull her into his domain, he felt a sudden numbness in
his arm.
The next thing he saw was two dazzling beams of blood-red light flooding his vision.
The blood-red light was thick and overwhelming, as if it were transforming the very air around them into writhing blood.
The intoxicating yet nauseating sensation was so strong that even Taylor momentarily lost control of his mind, slipping into a daze.
"The Blood Eye... has awakened!"
In his brief moment of confusion, Taylor's only thought was that Madelyn's Blood Eye had
fully awakened.
He was a grandmaster-tier mage, and Madelyn was only a peak gold-tier mage-the difference in power was immense.
Only the Blood Eye's awakening could have such an effect on his mind.
Immediately, Taylor unleashed his mind power from his forehead, like an invisible hand attempting to tear through the blood-red curtain before him.
But the blood-red curtain was as solid as iron under his mental assault, and the blood-
colored light began seeping into his mind, as though it were trying to turn him into a slave of
the Blood Eye!
"Blood Eye may be powerful, but at your level, you can't suppress me! Do you think my centuries of grandmaster-tier power are so easily overcome?"
Taylor snarled as the influence of the Blood Eye grew stronger, twisting his expression.
With a roar, a black swamp-like energy surged from him, swallowing up the blood-red light
and attempting to devour Madelyn.
However, just as Taylor unleashed his domain's power, a massive tide of blood surged toward
him, crashing against the black swamp.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed in Taylor's mind.
His body was thrown backward, the black swamp retreating back into him, unable to expandn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
any further.
As Taylor crashed to the ground, the pain coursing through his body brought clarity back to
his mind.
The blood-red light faded from the air, and when he opened his eyes, his pupils constricted in
shock.
Madelyn had undergone a complete transformation after the Blood Eye's awakening.
She now wore a blood-red dress, her three thousand strands of white hair cascading like a
waterfall.
She was a breathtaking figure, as if she had emerged from the very depths of darkness. Her blood-red eyes, in particular, looked like they were formed from the purest essence of
blood.
A single glance at her Blood Eye evoked an irresistible allure, and one's own blood seemed to boil uncontrollably.
After awakening, Madelyn's blood-red eyes were devoid of emotion.
She stretched out her pale, slender hand, and eerie blood-colored waves emanated from her,
striking Taylor again.
Taylor tried to summon his mana to resist, but he found that the lingering blood-colored
energy on his body had suppressed his mana.
In this state, he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
His face twisted in fear.
As the blood-colored waves sliced through the air like blades, he felt the chilling presence of
death approaching!
