Chapter 62: Even Our Own Are Stunned
Monsters! Monsters everywhere!
After a flash of golden light, over ten thousand monsters of level 30 to 40 appeared on the field, eyeing aggressively!
The players on the field immediately felt tremendous pressure!
Melee class players were panicking. Because facing the endless onslaught of monsters, even if the monsters were of a lower level, they would eventually be overwhelmed due to the efficiency of clearing the monsters not keeping up and the high damage received.
Ranged class players were also panicking. Although they could clear the monsters quickly, once they were approached, it would be disastrous. And facing such a number of monsters, maintaining distance was nothing but a dream.
At this time, a priest from the Divine Mountain Empire kindly hinted: "You players who entered the battlefield first have an initial advantage."
"As long as you are not killed by the monsters, you can stay in the field."
"And the number of players maintained on the field will always be eighteen."
"So, lucky ones! You have a very good chance of qualifying through the trial."
His words fell.
The first batch of players to take part in the trial were already on the verge of cursing. An initial advantage??
This trial's difficulty is outrageous, okay? Facing such a massive number of monsters, it's unknown whether the players participating in this task could even last half an hour, let alone gather 30 people!
What advantage does the first batch to participate in the trial have?
...
Meanwhile, in the spectator stands, the players of various races all looked upset. But the people of the Earth human race felt a lot better. Many of them had already felt it impossible to pass, so seeing the high difficulty actually made them happy.
Especially that mysterious big shot below, his Sky Star ability, dealing with a large number of monsters, was simply effortless!
Although they could not receive the rewards from the hidden task, being able to slap these alien races in the face felt worth the ticket price!
And seeing the players of the Earth human race's mood improving, the other alien players weren't stupid, immediately feeling a twinge of unease. But they still spoke arrogantly: "What? Does your leader have the ability to pass the trial?"
"Haha! I think he might be the first to die."
"In your race, I have never heard of any particularly strong two-class players?"
"Could he be that Eric Dane? Sorry, in my opinion, he's just a newbie."
...
Perhaps because the players selected this time all came from the Val Administrative Region, some guessed Sterl to be Eric Dane.
And while the alien players continued to mock, a bit more wariness appeared in their eyes. Eric Dane's threat was not small! Not only was he a fairly outstanding two-class player among the Earth human race, but he also had a slight reputation throughout the entire Val Administrative Region.
But it was just wariness.
Among the many racial players present, many were confident their strength already surpassed Eric Dane! They mockingly jeered with confidence.
And at this time, in the arena.
The battle had already begun!
They said to hold on for 30 minutes, but not even a minute in, the players were already fleeing in extreme disarray.
These tens of thousands of monsters were not only numerous but also had clear roles, with shield-bearing guardians responsible for tanking, sky-circling eagles flashing with lightning or frost for ranged attacks, and orc shamans in the rear continuously casting healing and control spells.
The players were having an incredibly hard time resisting!
Suddenly, the many alien race players present could no longer mock the Earth human race, instead looking somewhat worriedly towards the people of their own races.
If it were a normal hidden task, players would only care about themselves.
But when it comes to confrontation between different races, most players would hope for the individuals of their own race to come out on top in the end!
In the arena, the players, one after another, pulled out all the stops, not only unleashing skills of blue quality and above but also taking out many rare items, continuously healing themselves or forcibly teleporting to dodge attacks. For a while, by relying on consuming supplies, the players were barely able to hold the line.
What frustrated them, however, was that after a batch of monsters was eliminated, another batch of tens of thousands would refresh, their numbers not decreasing in the slightest.
In the spectator stands—
"It seems that trying to kill enemies to hold out longer is useless. Is this trial mainly testing our survival ability?" Daphne, bored, chatted with her best friend Teresa.
Unfortunately, Teresa was still in a sulky mood and didn't want to talk to her.
It was a centaur player from the sideline who sneered: "Survival? I know that Eric Dane is not good at surviving, he's done for."
While saying this, the centaur player found the atmosphere around him somewhat cold his compatriots didn't support him, and other alien players didn't speak up either, which puzzled him.
Then, looking down at the arena, he was stunned!
Boom!!
A loud booming sound echoed!
While other players were being chased around like dogs, struggling to survive, that Earth human race player casually snapped his fingers, and a sky-blue star fell from the sky!
A terrifying combination of light, flame, and heat wave burst forth simultaneously, directly smashing a huge crater into the ground! Accompanied by the golden light of the arena shining, the terrain was restored.
But within dozens of square meters around the meteor, all monsters were wiped out! And what was even more terrifying...
After the monsters were cleared, blue threads crazily shot out from their bodies, creating a death ripple that spread like waves from the center.
At least thousands of monsters perished in this wave of attack!
Even in that gigantic arena, a nearly hundred-square-meter vacuum zone appeared!
The entire place fell silent!
Even the priests from the Divine Mountain Empire were frozen in place.
For a moment, everyone's minds went blank, not knowing how to react.
It was only because the arena was extremely large, spanning tens of thousands of square meters, and distributed the eighteen players so far apart from each other.
Otherwise, with this one starfall, several players would have been directly out of the trial, with no monsters left around them!
It took about several dozen seconds before a tidal wave of monsters gradually filled the void...
At this moment, in the spectator stands, even the most stubbornly defiant players from other races were stunned.
Could this be an attack made by a human?
Do the Earth humans have some kind of illness? This clearly isn't a move that a two-class strength player could make! Could this be a third-class player? Then why would he participate in such a hidden mission? Was he looking for something to do because he was bored?
Of course, the alien players were even more helpless, expecting to be ridiculed by the human race from Earth at this moment. However, they were surprised to find that the audience from the human race on Earth was also silent in the stands, with everyone looking extremely astonished.
Including Daphne, and even Teresa!
"Is this... the effect when a big shot goes all out?"
"So strong! The instant kill of Eric Foster wasn't even his real combat strength!"
"Too awesome!! Holy shit!!!"
"So strong! Is this our leader??"
...
The players from the Earth human race had no mind to mock others, instead, they were bewildered. This big shot was even more formidable than they had imagined, and they even began to feel...
Following such a person might not be a bad thing at all!
Teresa was even more shockingly mixed with joy. She had not expected that her master could grow so crazily strong in less than a month! His strength had increased so much since he just changed his class. It was unbelievable!!
And Daphne's eyes were already sparkling with stars, she had been thinking about taking down this big shot, maybe start a romance or something. But now she had changed her mind. She must put in more effort, go all out! Even if she had to throw herself at him and serve the big shot, it wouldn't be a loss.
However... the players from the Earth human race didn't attack first, and were about to be attacked!
"No way, did you guys think that having a strong player would help you pass the trial?"
"Is it glorious to use third-class strength for a two-class mission to bully the weak?"
"Don't know what you're so proud of, you'll still have to leave the mission one by one later!"
"The final victory will still belong to us!"
...
As everyone knows, the most important thing in a verbal fight is momentum, as well as a strong and powerful point.
Although the players from other races were frightened by the big shot's strength, they could only seize on the point that the single combat capabilities of the players from the Earth human race were not excellent, and that they would definitely be eliminated, to harshly attack!
However...
These people overlooked one thing. After being taunted, Sterl seemed indifferent, but he would definitely strike back decisively when he had the chance.
At this moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He directly initiated several instances of teleportation, crossing several thousand meters, to arrive beside a player from another race, precisely the centaur alien player who had mocked him earlier.
"What do you want to do!!" The player's complexion changed drastically! Everyone had seen the shocking scene just now.
Along with that, Sterl snapped his fingers again.
The centaur alien player immediately activated an item, speeding up frantically, trying to escape: "Idiot! Go to hell!" He sneered. Just now, he saw the range of the Heavenly Star skill, only a few dozen square meters, which he could easily dodge.
