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

Moreover, the tidal wave had appeared so quickly that it trapped the surrounding players in an instant, giving them no chance to dodge.

Even though the players now knew about this boss\'s trump card, they couldn\'t counter it!

The melee fighters would be doomed as soon as the boss used this ability.

And the damage dealt by the ranged attackers would be quickly healed.

It was unplayable!

A lot of players started contemplating retreat.

"We don\'t have to stick it out against this boss, do we? The Dark Moon Alliance can\'t force us to keep fighting."

"Can we just hang around for a bit and wait to be teleported out?"

"What are we waiting for? Retreat!"

The players\' earlier determination vanished without a trace.

But the next second, the situation took a sudden turn. Someone pointed into the distance in horror.

"What\'s going on over there?!"

Meanwhile, as the other players fended off the boss\'s attacks, they glanced over and suddenly noticed an extremely eerie sight. On the once vast and distant horizon, crimson lines had appeared, and these lines were continuously advancing towards their location.

Some players with extremely long-range observation skills used their abilities and tools to take a closer look, and they were immediately terrified.

"The Netherworld realm is collapsing!"

"Except for the area centered around the boss\'s Netherworld Water, the rest of the Netherworld realm seems to be getting swallowed by the void!"

"We need to find a way to escape quickly, or we\'ll get sucked into the void too!"

Several second-class players at the scene, who had some knowledge, immediately realized the severity of the situation and shouted urgently.

However...

Only now did the players suddenly remember one crucial detail.

The Dark Moon Alliance never mentioned opening a portal to bring them back to the main world of [Transcendence] upon meeting any conditions!

Damn it!

Many turned pale. They were caught between a rock and a hard place!

In front of them was an unbeatable boss, and behind them, the world was collapsing into the void, where certain death awaited!

How could they get out of this mess??

"Teleportation scrolls won\'t work either. It says we\'re currently not in the [Transcendence] main world!"

"Technically, we can only use the scrolls in the void!"

"By then, we\'ll be dead meat!" Many players held various escape tools in their hands, but none of them could be used.

At this moment, the young man who had previously taken command and signed the legion contract with the players stepped forward: "Brothers, our only chance of survival now is to kill this boss and obtain the Netherworld Water inside it!"

"Netherworld Water can sustain the existence of the Netherworld realm. Even if the void swallows our coordinates, it can temporarily hold up a safe zone, and then we can use teleportation tools to escape!"

"We can\'t count on the Dark Moon Alliance! We have to save ourselves!" he said passionately.

However...

The atmosphere was incredibly awkward. No one was motivated by his words. The melee players were too scared to engage, fearing they\'d be instantly killed by the boss\'s ultimate move. Without the melee fighters leading the charge, the ranged players were even more hesitant. Without someone to hold aggro, the ranged classes would be obliterated with a single swipe from the boss.

Although they\'d eventually die being swallowed by the void, at least it wasn\'t immediate.

But as the players retreated further, the World\'s Abomination roared even more violently. It unleashed its sonic control skills, which had already cooled down, with eerie sounds echoing all around!

Even though the players were on guard this time, many still got hit, falling into a state of stun and fear.

Several priest players quickly dispelled and rescued those affected.

However, not everyone was lucky enough to break free from the control. Following the boss\'s roar, it unleashed a powerful attack, smashing six or seven players into pulp.

Luckily, this time the boss only aimed to kill and didn\'t absorb any life energy.

But this incident further dampened the already low morale of the players.

The problem now was that they couldn\'t defeat the boss, and they couldn\'t run away either. What were they supposed to do?

Sterl observed silently, noting the chaotic situation. Only a few players managed to keep a stable mindset.

Among them was the young man who had been leading and commanding.

Besides him, Faye remained calm, and then there was Spike from the Principality of Morrow, who looked hesitant, seemingly in a mental struggle.

But the BOSS wouldn\'t give them time to hesitate. It let out another roar and unleashed a skill called [Evil Thought Blast].

Instantly, the BOSS straightened up from its hunched posture, revealing a massive cavity in its chest and abdomen. From within, a torrent of malevolence surged out, forming a shockwave!

The attack path was set to hit nearly a hundred players.

Since it was a linear attack, many players in the back were also at risk.

Under normal boss-fighting tactics, the frontline and melee players should step up to intercept. But the previous instant-kill debacle had them too scared to approach, and they all ran away quickly.

This caused Sterl, hiding in the crowd, to frown. At this rate, the boss wouldn\'t even need to use its ultimate moves. It could tear apart the players\' formation with just its minor skills.

Once that happened, the hundreds of players would be easy prey for the boss due to its attribute advantage.

"Do I have to step in now?" Sterl couldn\'t just sit back and watch the BOSS annihilate the players. The Netherworld realm might hold further surprises, and he needed other players to pave the way!

In the crowd, Faye also gritted her teeth, ready to act.

Unlike Sterl, she didn\'t have an evolved teleportation scroll. If they failed to kill the BOSS and fell into the void, Felicia would have to sacrifice her soul power to save them.

That was unacceptable to Faye!

But just as these two were about to make their move, a figure suddenly emerged from the hesitant crowd.

"Don\'t panic!"

"If we can\'t defeat this boss, we won\'t survive either!"

"All frontline players, follow me! Hold the line against its attacks!"

With these words, a young man fearlessly charged to the forefront of the Evil Thought Blast and tore apart a scroll.

As dazzling light enveloped him, his body ignited with a radiant golden flame, forming a set of heavy armor!

Many players recognized the significance of this sight.

"That\'s a scroll storing a golden-quality skill!"

"The Principality of Morrow truly is the commercial hub at the intersection of the Dark Moon Alliance and other divine realms. Spike, being of royal blood, sure has resources!"

With someone leading the charge, the previously scattered players began to rally.

They were willing to fight the boss. They just couldn\'t see any hope of winning before.

As Spike charged forward, he brandished his weapon and a giant sword glowing with golden light, striking fiercely at the BOSS!

Despite the World\'s Abomination being only level 107...108, its status as a BOSS, bolstered by the world\'s will, endowed it with incredibly high attributes. It had reached the level of a [Transcendence] legendary player, albeit without the enhanced attribute buffs.

Spike, a double-S rank player, was level 100, with attributes far surpassing normal players!

Furthermore, under the golden-quality [Emperor\'s Blessing], all of his attributes saw a significant boost, granting him enhanced attribute effects!

With one mighty swing, Spike managed to cleave through the first part of the Evil Thought Blast! Unfortunately, he wasn\'t a cheat-like character like Sterl. He didn\'t have triple-S base attributes, and a golden-quality skill was nowhere near as overpowered as divine descent.

Thus... the radiant golden sword light was quickly swallowed by the boss\'s ultimate move, but Spike\'s few seconds of resistance were enough to reinvigorate the players\' morale!

"Charge with me!"

"Support Spike now!"

"We\'re here to help!"

Soon, an array of colorful skill effects exploded around Spike. Under the legion contract, players were immune to friendly fire.

Thus, the mages in the back launched a barrage of attacks, easing much of the pressure on Spike. The golden light once again surged from within the murky shockwave.

Melee players also activated their charge skills, quickly joining the fray!

Through their combined efforts, the force of the Evil Thought Blast was forcibly contained. Spike then made a graceful turn, swinging his sword. Under the golden light, the boss\'s move was reduced to a downpour of muddy rain.

Seizing the moment, Spike pulled out a crystalline item and displayed its attributes to all his legion mates.

[Superior Legendary Crystal]

...

[Effect: You can activate the legendary ability [Flowing Beads: Clear all abnormal statuses for all allied units on the field, reduce damage received by 50%, and increase agility and spirit by 30% (these effects are calculated independently of all other bonuses).]]

[Remaining uses: 6/10]

"I\'ve already used an item to scan the boss\'s attributes. It can use its ultimate move at most two more times!"

"I can use this Legendary Crystal to clear all of your controls!"

Spike spoke, feeling a bit of the sting. He had several golden-quality skill scrolls left, but Legendary Crystals were not something money could easily buy.

Otherwise, Spike would have used the Legendary Crystal right from the start.

The players were stunned upon seeing the item.

"Is this the power of the Principality of Morrow? This is insane! They can pull out a Legendary Crystal of this quality!"

"So this boss isn\'t much of a threat anymore, is it??"

"Does this mean we can actually win??"
