I, the All-Class Magus, All My Awakening Skills are LvMax

Chapter 69: Chapter69-The Traitor of Hidden Stars

The crowd began to stir, many faces showing panic.

After all, this was a deity!

Even if it was a dark god, Its rank reached the divine sequence!

The terror of deities is clearly documented in the Federation.

The major crises faced by the Federation since its establishment have almost all stemmed from the revival of several deities.

And each deity's revival has almost invariably caused irreparable damage to humanity and the Federation.

Originally, the safe zones of the Federation were at least double their current size.

However, the revival of a certain dark god transformed the northwest region into its own demonic domain, effectively halving the Federation's territory.

It turned countless humans and creatures into monsters, demonstrating just how terrifying these dark gods can be!

Among the crowd, Black Ghost's expression was also grim.

According to their original plan, the Crimson Demon was not supposed to be exposed before its awakening.

Yet, the unexpected variables of John and Lucas had prematurely revealed it.

Black Ghost, shrouded in darkness, used a device to whisper to Owen, "The plan is moving ahead of schedule. Victor and the others are becoming aware. Activate the array immediately!"

Owen, in the Withered Forest, was momentarily stunned upon receiving the message.

Their plan had been exposed?

But he quickly recovered, responding, "Understood."

As he spoke, the ancient tome in Owen's hands lit up with a mysterious glow.

A pale yellow array pattern extended from beneath his feet, heading straight towards Victor and the others at Demonbone Peak.

Victor and the others seemed to sense something, their gazes turning in Owen's direction.

Eldritch frowned, "Someone has activated a large-scale array!"

"I'll check it out," said Alexander, his expression grave.

He patted his twin-winged golden lion, but before the lion could take flight, pale yellow array patterns suddenly illuminated within the Withered Forest.

In the blink of an eye, these array patterns formed into several extremely complex arrays. Layer upon layer, dense array runes appeared.

"Humming…" Multiple beams of light shot into the sky, and several immense magic arrays emerged above, encircling the entire Demonbone Peak with a vast barrier.

Everyone's expression changed, realizing something was amiss, and quickly unleashed their skills towards the newly formed barrier.

Countless powerful skills traced brilliant trails across the sky: roaring stone dragons, a rain of fire, mighty slashes, furious tornadoes, and more.

In just a moment, dozens of skills hit the barrier, but they seemed to vanish into the void, merely causing ripples on the barrier's surface without any effect.

At the same time, those within the giant magic array, except for those of transcendent-tier strength, felt their powers brutally suppressed.

Many lower-level awakeners couldn't even use their skills.

This plunged many into despair. Without their skills, many were no different from ordinary people.

Seeing some awakeners still capable of fighting trying to make another attempt, Alexander spoke gravely,

"Don't waste your energy. This is a 'Silence Barrier' from high-level arrays, capable of suppressing an awakener's power. Besides, there are more than a dozen other high-level arrays. This setup was prepared in advance by a high-level arraymancer. Even cataclysmic-level powerhouses would find it difficult to break out!"

Hearing Alexander's words, many awakeners turned pale.

Arraymancers represent an extreme combat class.

In normal battles, their effectiveness is minimal, even to the point of having no combat power at all.

But given enough time to set up arrays, they can easily achieve a combat power far beyond their own rank!

Baron's gaze shifted to Victor, his brow furrowed, "They were prepared in advance, this is beyond our expectations. It seems we're in for a fierce battle ahead."

Eldritch and Theodore's expressions also turned serious.

They had been aware of the Dusk Sect's movements for quite some time, and this exploration of the secret realm was actually intended to draw out the Dusk Sect.

A week ago, Hidden Stars' front discovered that the Dusk Sect had been unusually active in Safety Zone 301.

They were immediately alert, sensing that the Dusk Sect, which had been quiet for a while, might be making new moves.

Coincidentally, Baron arrived in Stellarburg to develop this high-level secret realm, potentially housing a dark god's legacy.

Thus, Hidden Stars reached an agreement with House Fairfax to join forces with the people of Stellarburg and Northwest Citadel, aiming to completely eradicate the cancer that is the Dusk Sect.

So, while it appeared that these powerhouses were looking to develop the high-level secret realm or defend it, they were actually monitoring the Dusk Sect's movements in secret, hoping to lure them out and eliminate them all in one fell swoop.

Their plan indeed succeeded.

The Dusk Sect couldn't resist the temptation to trap them all here and sent people into the secret realm.

But the outcome was somewhat different from what Baron and the others had envisioned.

What exceeded their expectations wasn't that the Dusk Sect had set up the array in advance.

With several transcendent-tier powerhouses here, this array, even if strong, was only a high-level one and wouldn't last long.

The biggest unexpected factor was the Crimson Demon within the trial!

Everyone thought this was where the Crimson Demon selected its heir.

No one expected It to be slumbering here!

If this dark god were to awaken, not only would they perish, but Stellarburg might also be doomed under Its hand!

Victor lit a cigarette, his gaze calm beneath his golden mask, "Don't worry, they won't cause much trouble. If this dark god dares to awaken, then we'll slay It!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.

Victor's casual tone made it seem as if he was talking about slicing a watermelon rather than slaying a dark god.

However, this also brought a slight sense of relief to their hearts.

At least, it meant that the situation hadn't reached an irreparable point.

Just then, amidst the chaotic crowd, suddenly a burst of blood light appeared!

"Ah!!!" Piercing screams echoed in everyone's ears.

The crowd quickly looked over.

They saw a burly awakener, now clutching his arm in agony, his arm missing, as blood profusely flowed from the wound.

Beside this burly man stood someone in a black robe with a goatee, who was savoring a still-bleeding arm with relish, a sight shockingly gruesome.

Seeing this horrifying scene, many displayed expressions of fear.

Eldritch, with a grave expression, said, "They've come out!"

Baron, unfamiliar with the figure, frowned and asked, "Who is this guy? I've never seen him before."

Victor didn't speak but drew his sword.

Theodore glanced at Victor, his tone complex, "One of the thirty-six stewards of the Dusk Sect, a transcendent-tier awakener with the rare class 'Nightmare' and a B-level talent 'Dark Barrier.' He was once the captain of the Hidden Stars' Red Gloves in Safety Zone 301, codenamed 'Black Ghost!'"

Hearing Theodore's words, everyone's gaze shifted to Black Ghost, showing surprise.

No one had expected that this individual had once been the captain responsible for Safety Zone 301 in Hidden Stars and had joined the notorious cult, the Dusk Sect.

Old Dog and others looked at Black Ghost with anger in their eyes.

As members of Hidden Stars, who swore to defend the Federation in the Hall of Stars, becoming one of the high ranks in a cult and starting to harm ordinary people was undoubtedly a disgrace to Hidden Stars!

Noticing everyone's gaze, Black Ghost swallowed the chunk of flesh in his mouth and wiped his lips.

Then, he grabbed the still-screaming burly man by the neck, grinned, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, long time no see. The Dusk Archbishop sends his regards through me!"

"Crack!"

As his words fell, the sound of breaking bones echoed in everyone's ears.

The diamond-tier awakener was effortlessly neck-snapped by Black Ghost, showing no chance of resistance!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Simultaneously, the bodies of awakeners around Black Ghost suddenly exploded, chunks of flesh scattering.

Figures hidden within the ranks of House Foster, mercenaries, and even guards from House Carter burst forth from their bodies, creating a gruesomely bloody scene.

Draped in black robes and of various appearances, they all shared a look of intense fanaticism.

Clasping their hands together in utmost devotion, they chorused, "For Dusk!!!"

...

A great battle was about to begin outside.

Although those within the trial were unaware of the situation outside, the atmosphere was equally tense.

"Now, leave the dungeon immediately, or we all die together!"

Lucas glared at John, his palm already on the coffin, seeming to suggest that if John dared refuse, he would awaken the Crimson Demon, dooming them all.

John's expression remained calm, his mind racing for a strategy.

What a mess!

He had only sought the Crimson Demon's treasure, yet found himself in such a predicament...

Wait, the Crimson Demon's treasure?

A flicker of inspiration passed through John's mind, his eyes suddenly sparkling with a brilliant idea.

John realized a crucial point!
