Chapter 191: Sealing Legendary Abilities?

System Notification:[Warning: The Devourer of All Things may appear in any unexpected place and situation. Players, remain vigilant.]

That was the only message from the Hall of Valor.

And then, nothing more!

The boss is already in our faces, and you're telling us it can appear unexpectedly anywhere...

What's the use of that information now?

We need to escape its pursuit first, before worrying about avoiding surprise attacks from this boss!

Every player who saw the notification couldn't help but curse aloud.

Sterl also frowned slightly.

Does this notification have any significance now? It's only useful for those outside of Area A2.

So, we're just the unlucky ones who happened to run into it...

"Wait? Unlucky ones?" Sterl realized something as he looked at the simulated three words in the boss's name. It dawned on him—

Does this mean that in [Transcendence], players could also randomly encounter this so-called Devourer of All Things?

This notification isn't meaningless. It's informing players of one of the boss's characteristics!

In a flash of insight, Sterl didn't have time to think further.

He could only run along with the other players, all while mentally noting the boss's key traits. First, the damage output needed to break the multicolored glow on the boss. Otherwise, all attacks would be absorbed by the Devourer of All Things' black hole-like body, strengthening it.

Also, they must avoid its shockwave.

If not, it's not just about failing to escape—their movement skills would be sealed during the fight, greatly increasing the risk.

As he pondered, the number of players around him rapidly dwindled.

The Devourer of All Things surged madly. Its body, composed of various spheres, now flattened against the ground, morphing into a form akin to a hunting leopard, charging forward.

The boss then rampaged, crashing through everything.

No fancy skills, just sheer speed and power, launching a furious assault!

Yet, faced with such a simple attack method, the highly-skilled, resourceful genius players found themselves utterly powerless.

Sterl watched as the melee fighters ahead of him unleashed incredibly fierce attacks, only to be easily slaughtered by the boss!

No screams, no cries, no blood spilling—everything was swallowed by the black holes.

"It's as if those players were completely erased from existence!"

Sterl felt a chilling fear, watching the efficiency and cleanliness of the boss's slaughter.

Sterl couldn't help but marvel internally at the boss's "efficient" and "clean" killing methods!

At this point, with the front-line players all dead, leaving nothing but the transparent shields of the Hall of Valor protecting the rocky ground,

The Devourer of All Things grew even more formidable!

The rear-line mages and priests were also in dire straits.

Though the giant creature's movements seemed slow, the moment it struck, the speed was as fast as a lightning bolt!

Sterl instantly realized he couldn't dodge!

Of course... this was because he didn't dodge immediately, instead choosing to wait until the boss attacked.

At this moment, Sterl felt a certain deathly threat. He knew very well that if he were hit directly, he would have to use his resurrection armor or Protection Power to survive.

With no movement skills available, a flash of light crossed Sterl's eyes, and he activated [Shadow Stealth].

He wasn't foolishly using a spatial skill that had been sealed. From the beginning, Sterl had sensed that legendary abilities were not within the Devourer of All Things' sealing range. This wasn't because the boss wasn't strong enough, but because the large-scale sealing effect was undoubtedly weaker than a single-target seal.

But to Sterl's surprise, even Shadow Stealth didn't work!

He was a bit stunned and then realized that the boss's power had likely increased after absorbing the other players, enhancing the effect of its predatory waves.

This is just unbeatable, Sterl couldn't help but frown.

The difficulty of this extreme trial seemed a bit exaggerated!

Players initially couldn't defeat this boss. They had to find ways to break through their own limits before they could have a chance to defeat the Devourer of All Things.

But as the Devourer of All Things killed players, it grew stronger. Given this disparity, players might not even break through before the boss became invincible!

Sterl now thought he might have to use a Hall of Valor token to ensure he could return to the Hall of Valor alive after failing the trial.

Unless he ascended to godhood!

But Sterl didn't have much Divine Power needed for godhood left and didn't want to waste his trump card.

However, compared to other teleportation and Bloody Rush skills, the seal on legendary abilities could be broken! As long as he infused Stardust, he could forcibly use them.

Sterl relaxed slightly. It seemed that the Devourer of All Things' power growth wasn't as outrageous as he had thought...

Without any hesitation, he threw in Stardust and activated the enhanced [Shadow Stealth], instantly entering the shadow world.

Boom!

Accompanied by a violent tremor, the Devourer of All Things punched the ground protected by the Hall of Valor's transparent shield.

The boss then noticed its opponent had suddenly vanished. Without pondering why, it stood dumbly, sensing around. It seemed to confirm the presence of a living being in a certain direction and slowly began to move there.

Clearly, it was about to leave Area A2.

One second...

Two seconds...

Sterl suddenly reappeared, standing on the black hole that represented the Devourer of All Things' brain. Without hesitation, he condensed his star power into a liquid form.

He invoked the law of [Flowing Water]!

At this moment, Sterl also discovered [Flowing Water]'s flaw. While most enemies, even deities, contained liquid within their bodies, the Devourer of All Things was constructed from miracle energy fields similar to black holes, with no liquid inside!

The blade formed by [Flowing Water] now carried a faint shadow aura, amplifying the power of this move.

Incidentally, the enhancement from legendary abilities significantly weakened the power of laws.

This is a common rule in [Transcendence]. Unless specifically stated in the skill description, golden-quality skills have diminished amplification effects on legendary abilities.
