Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

The third-class players on the scene immediately felt reassured!

The players in the audience, initially taken aback, quickly realized the situation!

The shadowy figure who had appeared was clearly no expert! Seeing his loyal subordinate, Teresa, going to such extreme lengths to buy time, even at the cost of her life, indicated that this person was far weaker than the third-class players of the major families.

So, what to do? The answer was obvious.

Soon, someone cautiously cast a series of detection spells on Sterl.

Then, they excitedly shouted, "What a joke, he's just a second-class player!"

"Is this some kind of prank? A second-class player dares to show his face??"

"Family heads, you don't need to lift a finger. We'll take care of him for you!"

"So, you and those traitors conspired to kill our base commander??"

The players quickly reverted to their earlier staunch support for the family forces, and they were visibly excited, rushing towards Sterl at the front of the stage!

They were afraid of being too late and missing the chance to attack because, after all, he was just a second-class player. If everyone here each cast a spell, he'd probably die instantly!

So, they had to act quickly. The lucky ones who attacked first would have the chance to show off in front of the family heads!

The third-class players merely frowned slightly without making a move or saying a word.

Especially Astrid, the "Iron-Hearted" family head, who stood with her hands behind her back, canceling the skill she was about to unleash, her eyes filled with caution.

As a player who had lived for over a century and frequently used life-extending items, Astrid knew that unusual circumstances often meant something was amiss. For a mere second-class player to dare face a group of third-class players, he must have some hidden trump card, right?

The other family heads had similar suspicions, so they let the ordinary second-class players rush forward to attack.

Meanwhile, they secretly pondered—

Whether this mysterious figure had a hidden card or was just a fool seeking death, their own safety could be assured while the ordinary players probed him.

If the person had no trump card and was beaten by the players, the family heads could then step in to rescue "David" and capture him for interrogation.

If he did have a trump card, then it was no loss if the ordinary players died.

The lives of freelance players were insignificant compared to the interests of the families.

At this moment, Sterl remained calm, waiting for the players to get close.

Meanwhile, Teresa had been easily subdued.

Sterl's other subordinates looked pained, thinking that Lord David must be out of his mind... Was he planning to get himself killed too?

The frenzied second-class players reached Sterl, each gathering their skills.

But they noticed that "David" still showed no reaction, as if he was waiting to die.

No, he was definitely waiting to die!

With the same second-class strength, even if this person had high attribute values and quick reflexes, there was no way he could escape now!

The others' skills were almost fully charged.

The third-class players also reached a conclusion—

"This guy, really has no trump card??"

"He's just here to die??"

"After all this, turns out he's just a lunatic."

The family heads finally relaxed, finding the situation almost laughable. Such a worthless piece of trash had made them waste a few extra seconds of thought...

This was a great offense. This person had to be sent to the family's interrogation room afterward! He needed to learn what it meant to challenge their authority!

The second-class players were also extremely excited. They had been a bit scared when they first charged forward, worried that Sterl might have a trump card. Now it seemed they could safely win the favor of the major families.

Many of the players couldn't help but sincerely think, "Thank you, David!"

What further reassured the surrounding players and the third-class family heads was the sight of Teresa and the rest of Sterl's subordinates looking utterly despondent:

"Lord David! Dodge quickly!"

"Don't worry about us. Escape while you can."

"It's all over. What's happened to Lord David? Is he being controlled?"

"Does this mean we have no hope of revenge in the future?"

Their expressions were filled with despair and pain, no trace of pretense. They looked at the third-class players on the stage with hatred.

They knew "David's" real combat strength: second-class players were no match for him! He could dispatch a group with a wave of his hand! Now that Lord David wasn't moving at all, he must be under some sort of control!

They hadn't seen any skill effects, so it must be that those third-class players used some special or highly concealed skills to ambush him!

It was too despicable! With such a significant advantage in strength, they still resorted to such underhanded tactics.

Sterl's subordinates were seething with anger!

Now, not only were they all going to be wiped out here, but even the last hope of Lord David avenging them in the future was gone!

The players from various bases and families present had similar thoughts to Sterl's subordinates.

The third-class players on the stage looked at the second-class players below, thinking that among these weaklings, someone actually possessed such a concealed control skill? It immobilized David completely?

They thought they could find and cultivate such a player, adding another dog to the family.

The ordinary second-class players below were in awe, believing that the family heads must have secretly acted to strip David of his ability to resist!

This was the power and foundation of the third-class family heads?

Such strong control abilities, executed without any visible disturbance! Too powerful!

As for why they only controlled "David." it was likely because the family heads thought letting the common players kill "David" would alleviate public outrage!

After all, everyone was united in their anger over the death of the base commander!

The family heads were indeed farsighted!

For a moment, everyone present reached a perfect consensus: "David" was controlled! He was doomed!

At this point, Sterl finally moved slightly, lifting his gaze and raising an eyebrow.

He had no idea that his usual silent demeanor, meant to maintain an air of mystery, had caused such a huge misunderstanding…

Sterl was just waiting for the opposing players to get close so he could take them out in one go, creating the most visually striking effect.

After all, he enjoyed showing off.

Additionally, it served to intimidate his subordinates, boosting their loyalty.

Although Sterl didn't need a bunch of second-class players, Linna and Rayna did require their protection...

Even though attacks were about to hit him, Sterl's mind wandered.

Having experienced divine battles, facing a group of second-class and third-class players felt almost laughable to him...

Standing still, Sterl wasn't just posturing. He was also pondering which skill to use to kill these people in one go.

After a moment, he calmly snapped his fingers, fully buffing himself with abilities like Divine Descent and Life Ignite, causing various visual effects to light up around him.

But at this point, no one paid attention. Even if David broke free from control, there wouldn't be enough time to cast any skills!

Subsequently, Sterl tripled the power and doubled the range of his skills using Stardust Enhancement, and he cast two consecutive Celestial Stars!

"What low consumption!"

After casting the skills, Sterl was astonished to find that using these purple-quality skills, typically only accessible to third-class players, barely depleted his energy bar.

It just showed how absurdly high the consumption of his usual legendary abilities and Law Power was...

Sterl mentally relaxed and made a playful comment.

Soon, the third-class family heads were still sitting comfortably, but beneath their feet, a blue attack indicator appeared.

The players who had rushed to the stage were similarly surrounded by another attack indicator.

Only a few players who hadn't made it close to Sterl had empty space beneath their feet.

What was this?

The ordinary players reacted slowly, but the third-class family heads, with their long lifespans, were immediately on high alert!!

The fact that Teresa's backer was merely a second-class player had already made these heads suspicious. Now, they felt... could it be that someone else from "David's" faction had taken action?

Instantly, the third-class family heads and guild leaders scattered in all directions!

Despite this, they remained relaxed. As they saw it, David's faction couldn't be that strong. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been hiding all this time. Nonetheless, out of caution, they didn't want to take a hit for no reason.

Unfortunately, as they ran, they thought to themselves, "Teresa's faction is really foolish..."

"Do they think we weren't prepared..."

Boom!!

The third-class players couldn't escape!

Celestial Stars plummeted to the ground, first crashing through the roof of the Expander Hall, creating a massive hole!

Then, the terrifying power exploded! The first wave released an incredibly high-temperature flame!!

It nearly melted the entire Expander Hall into liquid!

Countless second-class players who had rushed forward were incinerated by the first wave of flames from Celestial Stars!!

Even the tank-class players, who had preemptively activated shields and damage reduction skills to guard against a counterattack from the "stationary David." were instantly consumed by the flames, their life forces extinguished!

As a result, the subsequent impact force of Celestial Stars had no targets left to hit!

The third-class players met a similarly tragic fate!

Though they had cautiously activated speed-boosting skills to escape and protection skills to shield themselves, it was all in vain!

After the first terrifying wave of flames, everyone was gravely injured.

Then, the catastrophic impact force of Celestial Stars hitting the ground flattened several family heads and guild leaders into pulp!
