Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

In the horrified, shocked gazes of the powerful figures around him, Baiyi smiled and placed the Faceless Mask back on his face.

As the mask fit snugly, the agitation brought by the Dark Side gradually dissipated; the mask feared the Evil Thought, and once the Evil Thought was bound by the mask, its malice became remarkably tame.

Baiyi’s face slowly reverted to his own appearance, he looked at Eric, who was full of relief, and decisively rallied the Ancient God Believers: ”Since the Gods do not want us to live, then we should let Him feel the wrath of mortals.”

”All personnel who are not members of the order-maintaining institution, move out, kill all Divine Favored below the Golden Level.”

”Those above Gold, capture if possible, kill anyone who resists without question.”

-----------------

Shi Wu City.

The sunset’s glow shone upon this deathly silent city, illuminating its desolation even further.

”Huff~ Huff~”

Heavy breaths were heard as a fierce-eyed young Human ran into a room in a sorry state.

He quickly closed the door, leaned against the wooden door clutching his sword wound on his abdomen, and slowly slid to the ground, panting heavily in big gasps.

Buzz~

The sound of static crackled as the youth, somewhat feebly, picked up a walkie-talkie with his other hand and said bitterly, ”Mad, what bad luck, have these Demon Hunters gone mad? I haven’t offended them, have I?”

Buzz~

The static from the walkie-talkie grew louder, Charles said grimly, ”You might not believe it if I tell you, but do you remember the two Dawn People who came in with us?”

Pu Sheng pulled out a potion from his pocket and downed it directly, the wound in his abdomen, where his internal organs were visible, was slowly healing.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and replied, ”Huff~ Why? Huff~ Don’t tell me, it was those two who caused this? We entered together.”

Charles: ”Take a guess....”

Pu Sheng: ... ”Shit, that’s unfair, why? It’s only the third day!”

In Fenghuo City, Charles glanced at the Plague Doctor comrade beside him and hurriedly followed the temporary team leader’s footsteps to chase down a Golden Level Ancient God Believer.

He said helplessly, ”Look after yourself, counting you and me, there are at most eight of us still fleeing, those few brainless ones have already been caught.”

Pu Sheng rubbed his abdomen, finding the injury mostly healed, and helplessly asked, ”So now what? The weapons of those Demon Hunters have an aura of dangerous items, I’m running low on potions, I can’t hold on much longer.”

Charles: ”All I know so far is that Baiyi’s target is also the Ancient Gods, nothing else, you figure it out yourself, let’s not stay in touch anymore...”

Buzz buzz buzz.....

Looking at the now useless communication device in his hand, Pu Sheng couldn’t help but curse lowly, ”Shit! Playing like this, huh?”

Tap tap tap...

Hastened footsteps approached, and an incredibly terrifying aura locked onto his location once again.

Pu Sheng stood up, calculated the time, and realized that not even a minute had passed before they caught up.

He slowly gathered his strength, and as that aura drew near, he directly charged at the stone wall on the left side of the house.

Boom!

The wall collapsed, and Pu Sheng’s figure madly burst into the distance, with the aura belonging to the Demon Hunter in hot pursuit, sticking to him relentlessly.

A vicious glint flashed in Pu Sheng’s eyes, and the next moment, an incredibly terrifying calamity aura appeared, gathering ominously in the sky.

Caw~ Caw~

A crow seemed startled by this aura, let out a piercing cry, a disaster seemed to be brewing.

The Divine Favored of the Master of Calamity, wielding a portion of Calamity’s Power, that was the power from a True God.

The Demon Hunter in pursuit hesitated, this aura gave him a strong sense of unease.

He thought for a moment, explosively unleashed his inner power, his speed abruptly increased, and he pursued Pu Sheng.

Killing intent surged in Pu Sheng’s eyes, just about to make a move, but suddenly noticed something, his knee buckled, and he thudded to the ground on his knees.

At extreme speed, his knees plowed two deep furrows in the ground, sliding continuously forward.

Finally stopping in front of a middle-aged man a kilometer away.

He raised both hands high, decisively shouting, ”Lord Demon Hunter, don’t kill me! I’ll cooperate, with everything!”

Ahead, a Demon Hunter of the Golden Upper Tier slowly sheathed his sword and spat out a word, ”Speak!”

The Demon Hunter in rapid pursuit watched in disbelief as the guy who had entangled him for at least three hours slid and knelt down, his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Mad, what kind of creature is this?

Pu Sheng let out a heavy sigh of relief, thankful to be alive, his eyes flickered, and he resolutely said, ”I inform, we have members infiltrating the Plague Doctor Organization!”

-----------------

Silver Moon City, Bright Knight Order Headquarters.

Eric blew on the tea in his hand and took a sip, his eyes instantly brightened: ”What kind of tea is this?”

”Blood Cherry Tea, leaves of the Dangerous Item C-413 Blood Cherry Tree, with the effect of improving body function and purifying magic power,” an attendant cautiously responded.

Eric nodded: ”Are there any side effects?”

The attendant lowered his head, his tone slightly hesitant: ”It condenses a leaf every time it kills a sentient being.”

Eric: ....

Looking at the pot of tea leaves, he suddenly felt they weren’t so fragrant, how is this any different from outright cannibalism?

Without showing any emotion, he put down the teacup, waved his hand, the attendant immediately got the hint and retreated.

Feeling the magic power already optimized to its peak within him, after some thought, he drank the Blood Cherry Tea in a single gulp and then silently began absorbing the surrounding magic power.

The magic concentration here was a hundredfold that of Dawn, even better than using the Spirit Gathering Array in Dawn, Baiyi asked him to conserve strength, right now he could give it a try.

Perhaps it was hard to break through to Legendary, but on the basis of Level 77, he felt he could advance further.

With the accumulation of magic, a terrifying war intent arose from the building, gradually enveloping the Underground City.

The numerous residents lifted their heads, looking towards the headquarters of the Bright Knight Order, showing eyes full of awe.

Eric’s aura gradually reached its peak, both Warriors and Assassins, after reaching Gold, needed to comprehend their own rules, this is their fundamental way to contend against Mages.

Eric felt the loosening of his rules, the time line intercepted by the Nightmare World was of the Ancient God Era, during which many Legendary figures, life’s breakthroughs were many times simpler than during the Federation era.

Among them aside from the issue of magic concentration, it was also a question of the World Rules, a God’s divine format is a kind of authority over rules.

Gods were exiled, these rules, though not collapsed, were in an abnormal state, this abnormality made lifeforms’ comprehension of world rules extremely difficult.

And although the Nightmare World could not compare to Xia’s World Rules, it was rather complete, Eric felt the constant evidencing of his rules with world rules.

His magic power, which hadn’t moved in over a century, grew just a little bit at this moment.

Boom!

The rumbling of magic power sounded, Eric’s eyes snapped open, his immensely powerful aura climbed madly, then slowly fell again.

The breakthrough failed....

Eric, feeling the magic power within him, felt a hint of disappointment, but more so, relief.

It was the end of the line, having reached the limit of blood and energy meant no possibility of breakthrough.

Because Warriors, Assassins differ from Mages, Alchemists.

Alchemists and Mages rely on knowledge, magic power, and spirit to ascend continuously, with increased experience and power, a life’s spirit, knowledge, and magic power only grow thicker.

Whereas Warriors and Assassins whole foundation resides in the body, the more abundant their blood and energy, the farther they can go.

The understanding of one’s own rules is also based on the body’s condition, like them, stuck at Gold due to era’s limits, unless something could revert his body’s foundation to a youthful state, this would be all his life could be.

Looking out at the darkened city, his eyes deepened and grew more turbid.

The hundredfold increase in magic concentration and more complete rules were ineffective, after this attempt, he wouldn’t try a second time, the dream of becoming Legendary was now thoroughly broken.

Future Eric would be all for the Federation....
