Chapter 14: Journey to the Grand Magus Academy

Gna felt as if his body was restrained by an invisible force, unable to move an inch.

Owen, observing Gna's transformation, had a glint of victory in his eyes.

He knew that Gna was no longer a threat to him.

Taking a deep breath, Owen's golden holy light grew even brighter, like a blazing sun. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

He leaped towards Gna, his dragon claws drawing golden arcs in the air, stirring up a whirlwind.

Each strike was as fierce as thunder, leaving Gna no chance to dodge.

Gna, overwhelmed by Owen's assault, was forced back step by step, his body covered in wounds, blood oozing continuously.

Despite the intense pain, he didn't give up and attacked Owen with increasing ferocity.

But his efforts were in vain, as he was severely suppressed by the Gold Divine Dragon.

Owen was his nemesis.

Inevitably, Gna, with wounds all over his body, slowly knelt before Owen, his blood-red eyes lifeless, staring fixedly at Owen.

Nikol and Erin approached, admiring the scene.

"Saint, you... you're too strong,"

Nikol said, his lips twitching.

He had not anticipated Owen's victory and was always ready to rescue him, but it proved unnecessary.

Owen waved his hand slightly, pondering, "What was that light I used just now?"

Nikol blinked, somewhat bewildered, "Wasn't it something you used yourself?"

Erin, excitedly interjected, "Saint, I know."

"Oh?" Owen looked at Erin, "Tell me."

"I've seen it in the ancient texts of our tribe. The Gold Divine Dragon bloodline of a saint contains a golden holy light, which is especially effective against evil and strange forces. Gna must have been greatly weakened after being exposed to your golden holy light."

Owen stroked his chin, a glimmer in his eyes:

"But the Gold Divine Dragon wasn't something I used actively..."

Erin, with her head lowered, pondered before saying:

"Maybe it's an inherent ability of the Gold Divine Dragon bloodline that appears in times of danger. Or perhaps, your saint level isn't high enough yet to access the golden holy light."

Considering this plausible explanation, Owen stopped pondering and smiled broadly, "Let's go, back home."

On the way, Erin was full of admiration for Owen, sticking close to him and lavishing him with praise.

Owen accepted her compliments, laughing heartily.

Returning to his mountain abode, a system notification sounded:

[fate point +874]

Owen felt a surge of excitement and checked his fate points.

[fate point: 947]

After all, Owen had been bathed in the power of stellar forces, making his soul power extraordinarily strong and learning spells relatively easy.

Given time, Owen was bound to become a pillar of the dragons.

"It's too slow. I vaguely feel that a great era is about to begin. This rate of progress is too slow," Owen expressed his concern.

Hearing this, Barlo also became anxious.

Owen, being a saint, had a precise sense of the future, and his words couldn't be taken lightly.

"If the saint wishes to make rapid progress, then the only option is to go to the Grand Magus Academy."

"Grand Magus Academy?" Owen pondered, holding his "Heart of Magus",

"The magic academy where Eldrich is?"

"Exactly. Our dragons' approach to spell research is rather crude; after all, we live long lives, with even newborns living for two to three thousand years. We pursue power in our spells, not finesse. Humans, on the other hand, have short lifespans and seek intricacy and speed in their spells. So, if you want to progress quickly, saint, you must visit the Grand Magus Academy."

After explaining, Barlo's expression turned somewhat hesitant.

Seeing Barlo's hesitation, Owen couldn't help but laugh, "Just spit it out, why are you hesitating like that?"

Scratching his head, Barlo said with pursed lips, "But this journey... there will surely be unpredictable dangers. I'm concerned about your safety, saint."

Owen interrupted Barlo confidently, "Do you want me to be a flower that only grows in a greenhouse?"

"That's not it," Barlo shrugged slightly, "It's just that if the elders were awake, they certainly wouldn't agree to let you leave. You are crucial to our tribe's future..."

Owen patted Barlo's shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll learn quickly and return as soon as possible."

He was somewhat relieved that the elders were in a state of hibernation.

If they were awake, they certainly wouldn't have heeded his opinion like Barlo did.

Barlo nodded slightly, "Saint, I understand your aspirations, so I won't stop you. Just be sure to stay safe. You are our tribe's hope."

"Don't worry."

.....

The route to the Grand Magus Academy required leaving through Dragon Echo Valley and heading east.

The journey involved traveling along the edge of the continent, passing through dense forests and rugged mountains.

After crossing the mountain range, they would arrive at a vast grassland – the Dreamy Prairie.

At the end of the prairie lay a majestic city, where the Grand Magus Academy was located.

Owen set off on the journey with Erin.

Erin insisted on accompanying Owen, and Barlo also suggested taking her along for support.

With no other choice, Owen agreed to let Erin follow.

Barlo couldn't come because, with the tribal elders in hibernation, someone needed to stay behind. It wasn't convenient for him to travel.

"Erin, don't reveal my identity as a saint on the road."

"Okay, saint."

"Don't call me saint, call me master."

"Okay, saint."

"Call me master..."

"Okay, sai... master."
