Chapter 64: Don't Panic! He Can't Possibly Kill Us All.

After teleporting, Sterl stood with his hand turned over, embodying the aura of a master. Then with a composed expression, he pointed his index finger towards the sky.

Snap!

He snapped his fingers.

On the ground, a warning area of two hundred square meters in azure blue appeared!

A fraction of a second later...

Celestial Stars descended from the sky, overshadowing the land!

The player who was targeted was even more desperate, rapidly taking out an item from his inventory and then hurriedly putting it back.

There's no escape!

Absolutely no escape!

As for using a life-saving item, he must be out of his mind to use it in this trial where death wasn't permanent!

Besides, it was useless even if it was used!!

However, while the player targeted by Sterl was resigned to his fate, several alien race players around him ran like madmen to escape!

They didn't want to end up like the previous unfortunate ones, directly killed by the residual effects of the move.

Even though these players ran as fast as they could, the terrifying airwave of Celestial Stars eventually caught up with them, igniting these individuals with the fierce fire of the stars!

Fortunately, these alien race players were prepared in advance, and only suffered severe burns. After taking some life potions and similar items, they barely recovered from their injuries and then ran even more frantically to escape.

After that...

Watching Sterl casting his gaze over the other players in the arena like a demon selecting people to drag to hell, all the participants of the trial wailed.

Why did they encounter such a ruthless person in a hidden mission?

Whether they could complete the mission or not had already become irrelevant to their own efforts. It entirely depended on whether this Earth human would show mercy.

Indeed, the alien race players dared not curse anymore. They could only respectfully call him a boss, hoping Sterl would spare them.

If Sterl knew what these people were thinking, he would sneer. He wasn't upset about being mocked earlier, but as someone who had been at the bottom in the base, his habit was to take revenge thoroughly. Otherwise, he would only be subjected to more humiliation next time!

At this point, it was kill or be killed!

Sterl took a few seconds to catch his breath, then launched a bloody sprint, chasing the next unfortunate victim.

The consumption of Celestial Stars as a purple skill was not small. But fortunately, it was enhanced with stardust and did not additionally increase energy consumption, allowing Sterl to keep going.

Soon—

Boom!!

The earth shook, and a deafening explosion along with azure blue flames erupted simultaneously.

Another Celestial Stars smashed onto the ground.

One player was instantly killed on the spot, two unlucky ones affected by the residual effects were eliminated, and three were severely injured.

In the entire arena, the remaining players were just a few scattered minor characters, and their looks towards Sterl were filled with unprecedented terror.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't come over here!"

What else could they say?

Someone had truly slaughtered the entire arena by himself, not giving even the slightest chance for anyone to complete a hidden mission.

Remembering their own previous confident assertions that the Earth strongman was about to falter... now felt like a burning pain on their faces.

This time, even before the players from the human race had a chance to mock, someone from the alien races shouted in frustration: "Fine, I refuse to believe he can kill us all."

"Everyone, don't panic. That Earthling is already starting to gasp for air, he won't last much longer!"

"As long as a few more of us die, he'll have no tricks left!"

"Those who enter the arena next, make sure to scatter and run, to deplete that Earthling's stamina and energy as much as possible."

Then, surprisingly, quite a few players from different races actually started to get excited.

"That's right, even if we have to pile up in numbers, we can win!"

"Folks, don't give up! There's still a chance!"

In their tone, these players seemed not to be talking about feeding kills until Sterl was tired, but rather about defeating Sterl with their numerical advantage.

They were united! Full of passion!

To the point that Sterl's subordinates were completely taken aback, not knowing what to say...

And at this moment... the priest in charge of the trial seemed to remember something, and only after Sterl had cleared the other players, he waved his staff again, adding seventeen new people to the battlefield.

This time, among those who came to take the trial, for the first time, there was another player from Earth besides Sterl.

Immediately, the players from the alien races in the spectator stands were stunned, then started shouting frantically: "Kill him!"

"Get rid of him!"

"Do it!!"

...

Can't deal with that mysterious strongman but can't deal with you??

And the players from the alien races on the field also showed a bloodthirsty look! They were well aware that although the Earth strongman seemed to be gasping for air and heavily spent, he could definitely still eliminate quite a few more people.

So rather than being smashed to death by a meteor, why not kill the other Earth players first to vent their frustration!

The Earth player seemed to realize something too. After a moment's hesitation, he suddenly sprinted! His target was towards where Sterl was, directly taking out a pack of potions from his backpack and throwing it over.

"Lord, use this!" This player was shouting. And behind him, followed by numerous experts of two-class from different races, emitting various skill flares simultaneously. Amidst the thunder, flames, and frost, this Earth player instantly vanished in a flash of light, clearly having met his demise.

Sterl frowned slightly. Killing someone right in front of me, they were quite bold.

He actually didn't care much about the death of this seemingly much more loyal player, but it made him realize a weakness of his own, which was the lack of abilities to protect people.

Even though the Starlight Dragon shared healing starlight, if a teammate was instantly killed, they couldn't be saved.

Unless Sterl used the sacrificial divine descent's resurrection count, with the shared and modified protective force. Otherwise, if he went out exploring with Linna and Rayna, he'd have no other rescue abilities.

He pondered slowly. While those alien players, after killing the person, dared not stay for even a second longer and immediately ran off, fearing being attacked by Sterl if they stayed.

Unfortunately, their escape was meaningless.

Sterl looked at the azure potion in his hand, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Evolution!"
