Chapter 233: Blood Force Appears?
In the Shadow Realm, he had already maxed out all his buffs.
Stardust enhanced Shadow Stealth, Inspire, and Celestial Stars.
While all the legends were suppressed by Silent Domain, Sterl unleashed his fully charged ultimate, exploding in an instant!
Moreover...
The legends didn\'t even have time to react before the high temperature of Celestial Stars began scorching their skin.
The azure energy storm masked the silvery, bright moonlight.
Sterl activated Moon Law, halting the thoughts of all legends for half a second.
Thus, the last thing these players saw was Sterl, wrapped in strands of shadow energy, looking stern.
Then everything was incinerated!
The blazing pain from Flame eradicated all the legends!
It wasn\'t until a few seconds later that they realized the arena\'s energy field had been deactivated. At this point, the legends were all sprawled on the ground, their life force reduced to a faint flicker.
Sterl\'s face was anything but kind: "So, any objections to me leading the team?"
All the legends present wore bewildered expressions...
What just happened? Who am I? Where am I?
These people weren\'t stupid; they quickly understood the situation...
They soon realized that it was indeed that third-class who had wiped them all out in one move. No, it wasn\'t just one move.
If the damage this third-class could unleash was so absurd, then what he said earlier—
That strange power preventing everyone from using their skills was also his doing.
So in total, with just two moves, a third-class had annihilated eighteen legends!
Isn\'t this a bit too ridiculous?
The legends, after pondering, found their backs drenched in cold sweat!
This is a third-class??
Considering the Hall of Valor, such a level of genius had appeared in history, or they would never have believed it.
At this moment, the way the legendary players looked at Sterl had changed...
From seeing him as a weakling, they now saw him as a powerhouse whose future was destined to far surpass theirs.
Although the legendary players weren\'t completely convinced, they thought that if they had known this third-class was so strong beforehand, perhaps they could have been more cautious and might have had a chance to counterattack.
But, so what??
Once his strength breaks through to the legendary level, killing them would be as easy as slaughtering chickens!
Moreover...
With Sterl showcasing such formidable power, it was more than enough for him to lead this mission.
Almost immediately, despite some lingering resentment, the legendary players changed their tune.
"This... esteemed leader, what are you talking about? We\'ve always followed your lead."
"Exactly, exactly. Our feelings towards you can be summed up in two words: absolute loyalty!"
"We were just worried about the mission\'s success earlier. Now that you\'re here, it\'s a sure thing! We\'re all in with you."
...
Some made light-hearted jokes while others flattered him with genuine enthusiasm. Even the three mid-tier legends who had initially led the charge against Sterl now stood aside, wearing forced smiles.
Sterl, naturally magnanimous, waved his hand dismissively, "It\'s alright. It\'s alright."
"Previously, we didn\'t know each other, so it\'s normal to have doubts about my strength."
He appeared amicable, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind.
Offend me and think you can get away with it?
Sterl believed his greatest virtues were his kindness, softness, and lack of grudges. But these people wanted to take his leader position and snatch his 1000 Valor Contribution Points.
If he didn\'t make an example out of someone, how could he command respect?
As for the target, Sterl cast a subtle glance at the three mid-tier legends.
Since they initiated the trouble, they could be the sacrifices.
With this thought, Sterl walked over and patted the shoulders of the three mid-tier legends, "In this mission, we need to cooperate sincerely."
"Otherwise, I alone cannot accomplish much and may not be able to resolve the calamities faced by the descendants of the Hall of Valor\'s loyal knights."
He spoke with utmost sincerity.
This made the three mid-tier legends pause, their expressions tinged with a hint of guilt.
Could it be that this third-class genuinely took the mission to help others? No wonder he became the leader.
"Alright! Alright! We\'ll definitely cooperate with you."
However, as Sterl got closer to the three legends, his pupils slightly contracted.
In two of them, he sensed a very familiar energy—blood force!
No, it was an energy more advanced than blood force, an upgraded version.
Sterl wouldn\'t have been able to detect it earlier. Only by touching their skin, with his far superior soul level and familiarity with blood force, did he faintly perceive it.
Immediately, his smile widened.
"This mission is far from simple," Sterl thought.
But...
The base reward for this mission was only 2000 Valor Contribution Points. If it were too simple, wouldn\'t Sterl have to take another mission to exchange for a platinum-grade skill?
Hardcore gamers love complex missions!
...
Next, under Sterl\'s guidance, the legendary players introduced themselves, allowing everyone to get a sense of each other\'s strength.
Soon, Sterl and his party boarded the Rainbow Ship.
Just like last time, this ship would navigate through the chaotic spatial currents, crossing vast distances to reach the Principality of Florence.
Sitting in his assigned room, Sterl was curious.
Although the human race from Earth had a general map of the Vastor continent, there were no records of distant countries.
"Maybe I\'ll see something interesting," he thought.
Sterl displayed a relaxed demeanor, as if he were on a sightseeing trip.
He then closed his eyes, entered a meditative state, and rested for a while.
The Rainbow Ship took about an hour to complete its final adjustments.
With a gentle tremor, the Rainbow Ship officially set off, soon plunging into the extradimensional space.
Passengers inside could now see the chaotic and deadly spatial currents outside, enveloped by shimmering rainbow energy.
At this moment, Sterl\'s eyes snapped open.
"Time to make a move!" he thought to himself.
Sterl instantly split into four.
His main body, a clone, Bionic Tear, and a Star Radiance Dragon trailing behind.
He then walked straight to the cabin where the three mid-tier legends were staying. They could have each had their own room, but they chose to stay together to maintain their small group\'s camaraderie.
"Makes it easier for me," Sterl remarked.
"Leader, what brings you to us?" The three legends initially smiled, but their expressions changed when they saw three identical "leaders" walking in, accompanied by a small dragon radiating a blue glow.
They immediately sensed something was off.
The three of them prepared for battle, subtly gathering their strength, but they were puzzled when the three Sterls didn\'t make any aggressive moves.
Instead, all three headed to the edge of the cabin, leaving the mid-tier legends bewildered.
"Leader, what exactly are you up to?"
"If you have something to say, just say it."
They maintained their smiles but grew increasingly wary.
Sterl merely smiled faintly, "To kill you." Then he placed his palm on the edge of the cabin.
Swish!!
A terrifying aura erupted, but it wasn\'t from Sterl; it was from the three legends, who had fully activated their internal energy in preparation to resist. However, to their shock, nothing happened...
The "three" leaders appeared to do nothing...
However, the three mid-tier legends didn\'t dare make the first move. Though battles between members were allowed outside the Hall of Valor, the one who initiated the fight would be marked.
Unless they never returned to the Hall of Valor, they would face a penalty of 200,000 contribution points. If they killed another member, the Hall would send enforcers to hunt them down!
Unless...
Your rank was significantly higher than the person you killed, granting you the right to an Honorable Kill.
Or, if your power reached the godly level, the Hall of Valor would rarely impose punishment.
Otherwise...
All members were expected to maintain peace.
Thus, the three legends didn\'t dare to strike first, believing their leader wouldn\'t dare either.
Until...
Their pupils suddenly contracted.
The three leaders and their pet vanished.
What the mid-tier legends witnessed next was utterly despairing!
A gigantic hole had appeared in the wall of the Rainbow Ship!
The terrifying suction from the chaotic spatial currents outside yanked them out of the cabin with such speed that they had no time or chance to react.
Despite the immense energy within them, the three legends were shredded by the spatial turbulence, turning into three dazzling bursts of fireworks!
Under the influence of spatial forces, these fireworks were compressed into three crystalline forms.
Two of the legends\' corpses emitted faint blood-red glows, which transformed into red threads and flowed into a corner of the Rainbow Ship.
The three crystals were also drawn in by the same force, being pulled into the ship.
This scene went almost unnoticed, as the entire crew of the Rainbow Ship was thrown into disarray by the suction of the spatial currents!
Fortunately, the Rainbow Ship had self-repair capabilities. The rainbow-colored energy quickly surged to fill the mysterious hole.
Only then did the chaotic legendary players manage to stabilize themselves within the turbulent spatial storm.
Many of them had sustained minor injuries from the violent energy outburst.
"How is everyone? Is everyone okay?" Sterl walked out with a calm expression, even looking somewhat relaxed and at ease.
