Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 271: All the Bosses Are Gone??

“How is this possible?”

“Am I going crazy??”

“Is this an illusion??”

…

Soon, one player after another appeared at the outskirts of the boss gathering point. They shouted in disbelief, some unable to accept the scene before them.

The players behind them, hearing the commotion, became increasingly curious. What did the forerunners see? They quickened their pace to move forward—

Although the forerunners were surprised, at least they hadn’t come under attack; the boss gathering point should be temporarily safe. The players boldly charged ahead!

However, the newly joined players quickly fell silent. Among them were several leaders of various strategy groups at the peak legendary level.

“Could it be that a powerful hunting team has emerged in Heavenly Curtain Canyon?”

“No, even the strongest hunting team couldn’t achieve this level of destruction! Demigods? No way! Demigods aren’t this strong!”

…

Gulp.

Gulp.

Countless players swallowed hard. They gazed at the scene ahead, their worldview shaken to its core.

What they saw were corpses… all of them were the bosses’ corpses!

Each one, legendary high-tier or even legendary peak beings, had been completely annihilated!

Massive creatures resembling mountains, mechanical beings that looked like technologically advanced gorillas, and Phoenix engulfed in an unquenchable, strange flame…

The mountain-like monsters had been brutally torn to pieces. The mechanical gorillas were reduced to a pile of broken circuits. The birds had their innards ripped out, their life force extinguished…

The many players present stared in horror as they took in the sight! Many of these bosses were ones they had meticulously planned against, spending months or even years preparing their strategies to defeat them.

There were others they had also researched but had only intended to avoid in Heavenly Curtain Canyon, hoping to prevent being wiped out by these bosses.

Yet now, whether it was a boss they thought they could defeat or one they felt they should steer clear of, they were all dead! Wiped out! Each one had suffered a gruesome end, their remains unidentifiable!

It was as if they had encountered an unbeatable enemy who effortlessly slaughtered them!

Moreover, it wasn’t just that the individual strength of the bosses was extraordinarily high; their numbers were also staggering. After the spatial fragments of Heavenly Curtain Canyon had combined, dozens of bosses were captured all at once at this gathering point!

Due to the nature of the spatial fragments, the bosses were certainly scattered across different areas of the complete Heavenly Curtain Canyon, so they must have arrived in sequence. However, at the same time, there were at least a dozen bosses present.

This meant that…

That unknown entity not only decimated legendary peak bosses but was also capable of taking on a dozen or more at once??

In the Hall of Valor, players who have been around for a long time generally have some familiarity with the titles held by each demigod. But no one could be this powerful! After all, these are bosses! Players can easily solo them without breaking a sweat, right? This is precisely why all the players wore expressions of disbelief; the scene before them was entirely unreasonable.

“Wait a minute.”

“Are we trapped in a cognitive bias?”

“Maybe these bosses weren’t killed by players at all.”

“Are we just witnessing a scripted event?”

Someone spoke up.

As soon as this was said, a chorus of agreement followed.

“Yeah! We were mistaken.”

“Indeed, such scripted events are quite common; it’s just that they seem rarely triggered in the Hall of Valor, which led us to overlook it.”

“So, does that mean we might still receive a quest?”

…

People were discussing this, feeling as if they had cracked the case!

“Exactly.”

“With so many bosses, how could they possibly have been killed by players…”

At that moment, one of the strategy group leaders spoke up.

However, soon after, he noticed that everyone around him was looking at him strangely.

“What do you mean?”

The group leader was a bit confused. Weren’t you all just saying in unison that this was a scripted event? I merely added a comment; what’s with those looks?

In the next second, the strategy group leader suddenly understood.

At that moment, a violent spatial fluctuation erupted from the center of all the boss corpses.

Countless reconnaissance skills had been cast in that instant. Through a layer of spatial obstruction, people began to faintly read the data of a player.

Demigod level! All attributes read as “???”.

As the spatial fluctuations became clearer,

Swish!

A boss that appeared to be a massive dark purple skeleton, reminiscent of a giant bat, was forcefully thrown out.

“Wow!”

The beast emitted a Wail of Anguish. Its gigantic body crashed to the ground, creating a deep pit and sending the remains of the surrounding bosses flying in all directions.

Meanwhile, numerous players maintained their reconnaissance skills. They immediately discovered that the life force of this legendary peak boss was already extremely weak.

In the next instant, the spatial fluctuations flickered.

The player who had been detected suddenly appeared, wrapped in a dark-colored cloak. As he moved, faint purple energy swirled around him, forming shimmering specks of light that scattered in the air.

In his hand, he wielded a massive sword, also covered in dark energy.

Swish!

In that instant, all the players present understood why those earlier bosses had met such a gruesome end!

The giant sword swung down, then shattered into countless smaller blades, slicing through the inside of the boss. Soon, the energy core within the massive bat skeleton boss, which was glowing, was completely shredded. As a result…

This legendary peak boss instantly perished!

Two colorful orbs of light exploded out and were effortlessly collected by the demigod player.

At that moment, everyone present was completely stunned. Just a second ago, they had confidently asserted that it was impossible for any single player to wipe out these bosses. Yet in the next moment, this mysterious demigod showcased what truly overwhelming power looked like!

A solo kill… no, it was more like an absolute thrashing of a legendary peak boss, easily overpowering an entire boss strategy group. In the hands of this demigod, that formidable existence was as fragile as tissue paper!

Moreover, the way the massive bat skeleton boss died was almost identical to that of the other bosses present.

Any player with a bit of common sense could deduce the truth: all the bosses had likely been annihilated by this one demigod alone.

In an instant, the players’ expressions turned to shock. They looked at the figure shrouded in black energy, their eyes filled with fear and respect!

This level of strength was something that, even with the Hall of Valor’s ability to gather talent, players had never encountered before. They felt…

This demigod was destined to join the ranks of the many deities in the Hall of Valor, and even the combat power of ordinary deities could not compare to him.

The players felt as if they were witnessing the rise of an extraordinarily remarkable being, like the sun slowly ascending in the sky.

“Is something the matter?”

The demigod looked at the crowd of players, seemingly raising an eyebrow, his tone casual.

As for the players, they instinctively took a step back. In an instant, many legendary peak and high-tier legendary players, who held considerable status both in the outside world and in the Hall of Valor, found themselves bowing subserviently.

“Nothing’s wrong.”

“Nothing at all.”

“You do what you need to do…”

…

Who dared to say anything?

Even though the demigod had slaughtered so many bosses, surely acquiring terrifying drops, no one had the courage to utter another word. After all, he could just as easily dispose of them!

They could only stand there like humble subjects, extremely tense, silently waiting until the figure of the demigod vanished.

Once he was gone, the players collectively sighed in relief, each gasping for breath.

“The pressure was too much!”

“That was terrifying! I feel like I’ve never felt this uneasy even in the presence of a deity.”

“Could it be that this is what they mean when they say calamities are approaching, and there will certainly be those who bear the brunt? This level of demigod power is a bit outrageous…”

…

The players continued to discuss among themselves.

The scenes of today would likely be etched in their minds forever. A single player had single-handedly slaughtered dozens of bosses!

…

Meanwhile, on one side of Heavenly Curtain Canyon, within a concealed formation, the demigod was absorbing the Fire of Ten Thousand Souls, exhaling several heavy breaths of foul air.

“Finally back to life!” The demigod, known as Sterl, felt a significant relief from the throbbing headache that had plagued him.

Indeed, he had killed those bosses. However, while it appeared effortless on the surface, the reality was that the cost was not small.

Faced with the combined assault of up to twenty bosses, Sterl had felt a hint of panic at that moment. Thus, he decisively activated Silent Domain, sealing the abilities of all the bosses, and then used Arcane Law to amplify his power to the fullest, launching Rain Curtain Sword.

With the dual boost of platinum-level skills, Sterl easily swept through his enemies. The only issue was that he had nearly exhausted all the potions he carried, including Energy Surge Capsules and Glory Potions; he only had the ones he exchanged with Valor Contribution Points left.

Moreover, he had fallen into a state of extreme exhaustion.

As for the actual process of fighting the bosses, it was rather unremarkable; Sterl’s damage output was so high that the bosses were quickly slain!

The scene that the players had witnessed earlier was due to one boss possessing the ability to merge into the shadow world. Sterl happened to have Shadow Stealth as well, allowing him to chase it into that realm and dispatch it with a single sword strike.

Upon discovering the players’ presence in the shadow world, Sterl quickly disguised himself as a demigod. Coupled with his earlier performance, he indeed managed to intimidate the group.

Otherwise, if the players had greedily attempted to fight for the bosses’ drops, Sterl would have had to waste more consumables.

The key issue was that killing other players wouldn’t yield any drops either, even in Heavenly Curtain Canyon!

This area merely lifted the monitoring of the Hall of Valor, but players of the same faction were still considered allies! There was no benefit in killing them.

Fortunately, Sterl’s displayed combat power was so astonishing that, even if the players might have thought that this demigod seemed somewhat weakened, no one dared to make a move.
