Sterl closed his eyes, quietly sensing the surge of energy within his body.
Around him, the energy of the galaxy swirled.
He even felt the very essence of his life changing...
And then...
Sterl vaguely saw two versions of himself: one was sitting cross-legged in the instance of the Fallen Star Wilderness, and the other was lying in a rudimentary gaming pod in a basement lit by pale blue light.
Both versions of himself were emitting dazzling light at the same time!
Moreover, Sterl felt his physical body rapidly growing, and his soul and mental power also strengthening quickly...
At this moment, he observed a golden orb within his sea of consciousness, symbolizing the divine talent [Dimensional Visitor] power.
Sterl had a feeling that during the inauguration ceremony, the capacity of his body and soul had greatly increased, and the [Dimensional Visitor] talent could now be upgraded.
However, Sterl's evolution points had not yet recovered, preventing him from upgrading it.
Time flew by...
Sterl was somewhat surprised to find that, whereas the awakening of a profession for most players would take only an hour or two, he remained sitting in the mine.
The power of the stars from the entire instance gradually flowed into his body, creating an incredibly spectacular scene!
From a distance, those are the stars in the sky, falling like raindrops towards the same spot.
Time flew by...
Soon, Sterl's evolution time cooldown was complete. In a somewhat blurry state of consciousness, he quickly upgraded the [Dimensional Visitor] divine talent.
After all, after the class change, this talent would provide him with new abilities for the first time. If he didn't upgrade now and the quality of the abilities provided later was inferior, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Then, he vaguely sensed in his sea of consciousness that the next upgrade for this divine talent would require him to complete his second class change.
Sterl was satisfied and continued to close his eyes, feeling the transformation brought by the power of the stars.
Now, it was not only his body and soul that were nourished, but the green orb symbolizing Flame Storm in his sea of consciousness was also filled with the power of the stars, gradually showing a transparent form.
Afterward, Sterl remained in a dazed state until a system notification sounded in his ears—
[Instance countdown: 23:23:59.]
[Entering the final phase, all units holding pet eggs will be marked on the map.]
On Sterl's map, a total of three pale blue points lit up—one representing himself, one representing the pet egg guarded by the boss, both stationary.
However, the last point was moving across the map at an extremely fast speed, rapidly approaching the point representing Sterl.
"Teresa, don't go!"
"I'll treat you right!"
"Damn! Bitch! Where the hell are you going?" Philip, still in his mad frenzy, had his originally handsome face grotesquely twisted.
This was because he realized that while he was chasing Teresa, she suddenly spotted a beam of starlight appearing in the instance and ran towards it with all her might!
This instantly put Philip on high alert. Through the system's prompt, he knew that location was exactly where a pet egg holder was.
And the other stationary light point was the pet egg guarded by the boss.
Philip figured that the other moving light point, symbolizing a pet egg taken by a player, must be the work of someone from his own Blood God Sect!
Moreover, the fact that the person had offerings that could spy on him suggested that this person might hold a higher position within the sect and possess greater strength than himself!
He dared not seek trouble with such a formidable opponent.
So, Philip's plan changed the moment he saw Teresa... to kill this level 59 powerhouse to nourish the pet egg, then to keep circling in the instance.
Waiting for the fellow Blood God Sect member to fail in capturing him, leaving them no choice but to break the pet egg guarded by the boss... By then, his own pet egg, having absorbed the life force of a level 59 player, could advance to grade A first.
Then, Philip could just use an escape scroll to get away, and the grade A pet egg would be his!
As for killing that high-ranking member of the Blood God Sect?? To slightly improve the quality of the grade A pet egg?
Philip thought it unnecessary!
Back in Base 157, he lived cautiously, always behaving and never revealed his membership in the Blood God Sect, all thanks to being careful and not greedy!
Slightly improving a grade A pet egg wouldn't cause a qualitative change, better to safely secure the bag.
But now, as Teresa headed towards the location of that beam of starlight, Philip found himself getting closer to the high-ranking member of the sect!
He didn't dare to just turn around and leave because missing out on this level 59 player, he would still have to confront that high-ranking member.
Philip could only hope to kill Teresa before encountering the high-ranking member of the Blood God Sect, thus his resentment grew even stronger!
However, things did not go as planned.
Philip, furious, released a wave of blood magic power shockwaves, transforming them into flying blades.
But Teresa was prepared, she took out a jade stone and crushed it.
Instantly, a dazzling shield of light appeared around her, successfully blocking the attack!
The two of them continued their chase.
Philip, despite the pain, kept releasing rays transformed from his bloody power, but Teresa, sparing no expense in throwing out various life-saving items, managed to make her way to the giant column of starlight!
When both arrived at the pit where the column of starlight was, they simultaneously saw the figure slowly rising from the starlight.
Then, both were stunned!
Because that person... they knew him!
Without hesitation, Teresa threw out a scroll, "Use this escape scroll, hurry!"
Ahead was—Sterl, the target Teresa sought to rescue, her idea being, save whoever she can!
Meanwhile, Philip took out a strange crystal and crushed it, a blood-red grid forming a cage that trapped all three players simultaneously!
He laughed wildly.
"Well! Well! Well! I didn't expect my fellow sect member wouldn't come to collect the pet egg!"
"And I ended up running into you!"
Philip recognized the player before him.
When Miste and the others reported to the higher base about discovering a gifted young man,
As the son of the leader of Base 157, Philip used his authority to request the lower base to allow Sterl into the instance, intending to use him as nourishment.
Players with better talents provide more life force!
...
At this moment, within the blood-red prison.
"We're done for! Looks like we're all going to die here!" Teresa said despairingly. After throwing the scroll, she didn't even spare Sterl another glanc. After all, he was just a player not even level 20, what could he do?
Philip also ignored Sterl, his tone cold, "Well, at least I'll get a few more streams of blood power."
He appeared ready to kill Teresa and refine Sterl alive with the bloody offering.
In his eyes, Sterl was not worth mentioning!
"Die!"
A chill gleamed in Philip's eyes as he unleashed his professional skill.
[Blood Net]!
However, as Teresa was about to dodge, she realized that she wasn't the target of this attack.
The eerie-faced young man was extremely cautious. He had earlier noticed a beam of starlight shimmering in the mine.
Even though he considered Sterl an ant posing no threat to him.
With Teresa already within his grasp, he decided to eliminate the potentially unpredictable gifted young man first!
" what a pity." Teresa sighed.
She hadn't expected that the rescue target she had just met a few seconds ago would die so miserably on the spot!
Had she not entered the instance, maybe he could have lived a bit longer, though only a bit.
Teresa knew that Philip would surely slaughter all other players in the instance. Otherwise, his identity as a member of the Blood God Sect could be exposed.
The level 59 player only had one comment for Sterl, "What a pity."
If Philip had chosen to attack her first, Teresa wouldn't mind if Sterl used the time while she was dying to escape using the escape scroll.
But now, Sterl's death was certain.
Teresa felt no turmoil in her heart. After all, he was just an unfamiliar passerby.
However, the eerie-faced young man launching the attack was somewhat puzzled...
Something was off!
Very off!
This so-called genius player Sterl has such good mental fortitude?
Facing certain death, he just slightly frowned.
As if he found it all to be very troublesome, very unwilling.
What the hell??
Why isn't he afraid at all?
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
