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

Chapter 259: Understanding the Way of Law, Playing the Role of Law?

The countless, menacing Hurricanes suddenly changed their course of attack. Instead of surging toward Sterl, they instead clustered closely around their master for protection.

That's right, the peak legend who had shown such arrogance upon his arrival...

He was backing down now!

Moreover, he was directly riding the Hurricane, fleeing at top speed, intent only on getting as far away as possible.

The other two peak legends were also ghostly pale; they had just felt an incredibly complete Law Power emanating from the blade!

And...

This Law Power was purely the Flowing Water Law, devoid of any rules regarding blades or weapons.

So why would that strange figure choose to attack in such a manner?

The only possibility was...

A platinum-grade skill!

The more they thought about it, the more convinced they became that this guess was correct. The blade had definitely not simply conjured energy; it had activated the power of the Flowing Water method in a far more effective manner!

The three peak legends were left dumbfounded. They knew that under normal circumstances, they could not contend with ordinary Law Power...

Let alone a version enhanced by a platinum-grade skill!

Clearly, they had run into a brick wall this time. Behind the Twilight Guild, there was not just someone, but a demigod standing tall!

From the mastery of the platinum-grade skill, it was highly likely that this was a veteran demigod!

After all, a newly ascended demigod could never accumulate the vast amount of Valor Contribution Points needed to exchange for a platinum-grade skill.

Of course, it's not that the Rain Curtain Sword costing 25,000 points was overly expensive; rather, it was just too underwhelming. With that many Valor Contribution Points, they might as well save up for something better.

At that moment, the three peak legends felt regret so intense that their insides twisted. Had they known it would come to this, they would never have dared to provoke "Twilight"!

Not only was that fleeing peak legend retreating, but the other two, despite having their moves countered and spitting blood, were also making a hasty escape!

One was trying to pull out an item, while the other was preparing to tear open a teleportation scroll.

At this moment, Sterl saw that the enemies wanted to escape and did not hesitate to invoke the abilities of Moon Law!

How ridiculous! Every time I encounter a strong enemy trying to flee, I always think about ascending to godhood before using a teleportation scroll.

Do they really not take me seriously?

Sterl thought maliciously, and in that instant, the figures of the three peak legends faltered. Then...

Each of them felt a blade thrust into their chest!

The blade transformed into countless streams of Flowing Water, piercing into their bodies and erupting into myriad fine needles, draining the life from the three peak legends completely!

When it was all over, the many members of the Twilight Guild were still left in a daze.

Things Happened Too Quickly!

From the moment this mysterious demigod, who likely provided the guild with construction materials, appeared, to the instant when the three previously indispensable peak legends met their demise, not much time had passed.

Especially during the last wave, after the three peak legends unleashed their ultimate moves, it took only about a second for them to fall one after another. Everything was over...

However, the image of this demigod manifesting a blade and taking on three powerful adversaries was simply shocking.

So much so that members of the Twilight Guild quickly knelt partially on the ground, saying, "Thank you for your help."

"If it weren't for you, my lord, our guild would truly have been overrun."

"My lord, thank you! Your life-saving grace is unforgettable."

...

The players who had previously been somewhat proud of their genius status through extreme trials now had their self-importance shattered after experiencing this guild battle.

They finally recognized their ant-like status. Even though the three peak legends hadn't intended to take their lives, facing the figure that Sterl had assumed, they all adopted a lowly attitude, expressing their gratitude for the life-saving grace.

At this moment, Sterl couldn't be bothered to engage with the guild members.

He felt rather pleased because the effects of the platinum-grade skill were indeed impressive. Earlier, he had struggled a bit using Law Power against Kant Weir.

While these three peak legends couldn't compare to that Radiance knight, they had managed to unleash their ultimate moves.

And yet, the effect of the Rain Curtain Sword was extraordinarily domineering, allowing Sterl to easily withstand all three of them.

"This is just the most basic platinum-grade skill; imagine how much more powerful it would be if I fully evolved it!"

Sterl mused as he walked over to the body of one peak legend. In the free PVP map, killing players had a chance to yield drops.

Clearly, Sterl had gotten lucky this time.

Among the three peak legend players, one had dropped a light orb.

Sterl picked it up and opened it casually, and immediately, a bear skin cloak appeared before him. If he draped this cloak over himself, he would look like a giant bear from a distance, just like the burly man he encountered earlier.

[Thunder Hide (Special)]

[Type: Cloak]

[Description: Many are curious about how various races began to mimic powerful creatures in nature for their cultivation. Perhaps this item can provide some answers. It is said to be made from the fur of a bear beast that controlled Thunder, which was skinned and worn by humans. Over time, those who donned the bear skin came to understand the principles of utilizing lightning.]

[Effect: Equipping this item accelerates your understanding and proficiency in lightning-based skills, including legendary abilities, Law Power, and divine authority.]

[Ding!]

[You have unlocked the entry—Play the Role of Law]

[Yes/No to view?]

"Yes."

Sterl nodded casually, and in the next moment, a message popped up before him.

[Play the Role of Law: A special technique derived from the realm of legends, granted by a demigod. By embodying ancient ancestors, one can acquire the power of unique methods, effectively accelerating the efficiency of a legend's ascension to demigod status, and assisting those who originally lack talent to achieve breakthroughs.]

[Tip: You can rent Play the Role of Law items through the Hall of Valor store.]

[Tip: The current ownership of the Thunder Hide belongs to the Hall of Valor. You can surrender this item for 5,000 Valor Contribution Points.]

"Not bad... 5,000 contribution points is equivalent to needing to take on an additional quest," Sterl thought to himself.

As for this Play the Role of Law, he had no interest in it; he had already learned Law Power and had no need for it.

He finally understood why those three peak legends had worn such bizarre outfits.

Then Sterl walked over to the many members of the guild. Sosia and Sonis, the sister duo, naturally knew his true identity.

They looked at him with excitement in their eyes. "My lord, we are powerless and have burdened you once again."

"What you have to say... can wait for later," Sterl replied meaningfully, causing the sisters' faces to flush slightly.

The other members of the Twilight Guild looked awkward, unsure of what to say.

After all, they had previously all expressed a desire to surrender...

They had even considered abducting Sosia and Sonis, although that had been a desperate act in a life-or-death situation.

However, facing such a powerful demigod, killing them was merely a fleeting thought.

Sterl, in a surprisingly amiable mood, simply smiled. "You all have certainly been scared quite a bit this time."

"But from now on, I hope you can show more loyalty to the guild."

A wave of relief washed over the players.

"Yes! Yes!"

"Understood! Understood!"

"We will never let this happen again! We would even sacrifice our lives to protect the guild."

…

The players swore oaths one after another.

Yet Sterl merely winked at Sosia and Sonis.

"Don't worry; how could I not take revenge for your coercion?"

"In the future, if you see any players you dislike, just take them out directly. I'll have your backs."

"Also, we had discussed previously about charging a bounty for new players joining the guild. This is a great opportunity to bring it up again, given their betrayal."

He sent a private message, and the sisters nodded excitedly.

The way they looked at Sterl was as if they were about to weep with joy; they hadn't expected that, after just a short period, their master's strength would surge so dramatically once again!

At that moment, Sterl simply smiled faintly before his figure vanished from sight. The members of the Twilight Guild remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a sound. Sosia and Sonis stood nearby, beaming with smiles.

"Alright, you can all return to the peaceful area of the Hall of Valor now."

"We'll settle the matter of this incident later."

As the sisters finished speaking, they hurried off toward the villa area where Sterl was, knowing that their master had just completed a challenging task and needed some time to unwind.

…

On Sterl's side, shortly after returning to the villa area, he took a moment to organize himself. He indeed had a lot of things that needed upgrading, including equipment and skills from hell, various Anti-Element spells, and platinum-grade skills...

Additionally, he had accumulated enough experience and would soon reach third class...

In summary, Sterl decided to avoid adventures for the time being. He wanted to level up to third class first and take advantage of a significant boost in strength before venturing out again.

Moreover, he had a serious issue to address: his level 3S guild could potentially attract stronger individuals.

Initially, Sterl thought that a mere level 1 3S guild wouldn't be very appealing. He planned to upgrade the guild level later, which would only open up B and A grade buffs for other players.

Furthermore, since the Hall of Valor opposed player infighting, Sterl felt bold enough to use the 3S title to recruit players. However, he hadn't anticipated that even a level 1 3S guild would attract so much attention from various factions!

This time, it had only been peak legends...

But what would happen if he had to face a demigod?

Sterl even wondered what he would do if a god decided to intervene and seize his guild!

Although the odds were low, that possibility couldn't be entirely ruled out.
