Chapter 20: Divine Technique! Bloody Sprint

Chapter 20: Divine Technique! Bloody Sprint

Sterl felt his luck was indeed good.

The first piece of the Bloody Set could solve a huge problem for him—How to actively perform to gain the support of the human race on Earth, while also not exposing too many of his own secrets.

With the "Visage of Void," the problem was effortlessly solved!

Sterl was thrilled for more reasons than just this piece of equipment. After obtaining the power of blood, the skill list provided by the Bloody Diamond revealed—

[Bloody Sprint]

[Quality: Special]

[Effect: Consumes a certain amount of energy to initiate a sprint, speeding up to ten times the player's normal state for the duration of the sprint. During the sprint, the player enjoys 0.5 seconds of invincibility frames. Continuous use doubles the energy consumed each time.]

"What a great skill!" Sterl's eyes lit up.

This skill was the essential [Dodge] found in various games before his transmigration, wasn't it? To dodge a BOSS's attack with invincibility frames!

Needless to say, the value of this move was immense. This can be considered a necessary skill for facing strong enemies.

The 0.5 seconds of invincibility after activating Bloody Sprint could often be decisive in combat!

Sterl had heard during a general education class about a legendary powerful black dragon boss in the Divine Mountain Empire. Its ultimate move, [Death Sentence], dealt damage equivalent to 20% of the boss's own health in true damage.

Given the boss's additional health bonuses, this move could instantly kill even players who were levels higher than this black dragon boss!

There was once a legendary player over level 100 who challenged this black dragon boss in the Divine Mountain Empire. He was killed instantly by [Death Sentence]! It was incredibly frustrating.

But if Sterl were to face that BOSS, as long as he timed it right and launched Bloody Sprint, he could dodge [Death Sentence].

Because the way it worked was by slashing a crimson lightning, from the attack launch to hitting in less than 0.5 seconds!

"No wonder it's a offering made by a god-level demon. It's too strong once fully evolved!" Sterl couldn't help but exclaim.

Next, his thoughts became clear.

Although he still didn't know how to play this instance, the monster resources here should be quite abundant.

Sterl decided to level up diligently and set a small goal for himself—

To accumulate enough experience for level 20 before leaving the instance, and then use the accumulated power of blood to develop himself thoroughly.

...

Meanwhile, outside the instance.

Miste and a group of players gathered together, looking at a projection in front of them with grim expressions.

Outside the projection was a crystal-clear crystal ball.

[Divination Crystal Ball]

[Quality: Special]

[Effect: You can initiate a divination to obtain the vision around a specific target and project it out.]

[Note: Your divination must be consented by the target.]

The two players who discovered the [Starfall Wilderness] could not enter the instance restricted to levels 20 and below.

Thus, Miste and the others were not familiar with the [Starfall Wilderness].

It was only after a large number of new players entered the instance that they were able to use this special item to detect information within the instance.

Incidentally, this type of Divination Crystal Ball was widely used among the major forces in [Transcend], with a very high rate of popularity.

This leader felt very uncomfortable in his heart, feeling as if he had caused the other's death. If he had just directly eliminated Sterl from the team entering the instance from the start, maybe another star of genius could have risen...

Now, Miste only wanted to confirm the location of this genius player's corpse. If there was a way to handle the [Starfall Wilderness] instance in the future, he could at least retrieve Sterl's body.

As for the others... Sorry, they weren't even worth collecting the bodies for. Dead is dead...

However, as the Divination Crystal Ball emitted light,

what Miste saw wasn't the torn and broken body of the genius youth.

In the scene, a wild beast charged at Sterl.

Sterl punched the monster, inflicting severe damage, and then followed up with a palm strike, piercing right through the gorilla-like beast!

Killing a monster was nothing special, but the key point was... Sterl was unharmed!

"He escaped from a level 20 elite monster? How fierce is that?"

"Genius really is different!"

"Thank goodness. If Sterl had died, we would have really been at a loss this time!"

...

For a moment, Miste and the others felt a lot better.

If at the beginning they were told that all players going into the instance would basically die, leaving only one genius barely alive, Miste and the others would definitely be unwilling.

But when they thought everyone, including Sterl, was wiped out, and finally found out that this genius player was still alive. That was a surprise!

After snapping out of his daze, Miste realized something.

He sent a private message to the person in charge of his superior base, informing them that Sterl was absolutely a genius, and not even a level 20 elite could trouble him.

According to previous investigations, Sterl's talent was only a Class D attribute boost. But first, he instantly killed a level 10 elite, and then escaped from the pursuit of a level 20 elite monster in the instance.

Looking at it this way...

Sterl's attribute enhancement talent could not possibly just be Class D. It was very likely to be Class B... or even above Class A!

He must be vigorously cultivated!

The leader was full of praise and then made a small request.

"I apply for the use of a rescue scroll."

The effect of a rescue scroll is to forcibly extract a player from the instance. But it's quite precious. He, a second-tier professional, didn't have one on hand.

The only hope was for the superior base to allocate one.

Miste then waited anxiously for a response.

...

Ten minutes later.

In [Starfall Wilderness].

A skinny old man in a blood-red robe also received a message: "A player with potential above Class A talent?"

"Not bad. It seems that the [Pets] hatched this time can go up a grade in quality."

He revealed a sinister smile. "Humans from Earth, the Centaur stars, the Titan race... the lives of these one thousand outstanding players..."

"Will just serve as a boost, helping me ascend to greater heights!"

The old man's eyes flashed with a strange light as he swallowed a pill from his bag. The next second, his aura broke through level by level.
