Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener-Chapter 787: Preparations Before the Escape!

"Please, no! I've just barely escaped my cage—how can I die here!"

"War Demon! I'll die before I let you go unpunished!"

"Please, don't eat me! Don't eat me!"

"No... just let me out, and I will give you all the wealth I've hidden!"

Faced with death and despair, some begged for mercy, some cursed loudly, and others resorted to bribery or threats.

Unfortunately, they were up against crazed beings who had been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years—a group of monsters teetering on the edge of madness!

In front of these monsters, they were nothing more than delicious, blood-soaked prey.

Soon, the lords and marshals joined in on this bloody feast, and the scene became even more brutal and savage.

The Nightmare Beings, who had only just escaped their prison, were now facing the horrifying fate of having their flesh and souls devoured. The intense feelings of unwillingness and resentment filled the Abyssal Prison.

Sterl calmly observed the scene, his mind as still as water.

As for guilt and psychological burden? They didn't exist.

Sterl was never a good person; he could even be considered part of the Chaos Faction. Moreover, in his eyes, these Nightmare Beings weren't anything special. Now, it was their honor to provide some value for him before they perished.

He would never let meaningless compassion destroy his carefully laid plans.

In just over ten minutes, under the devouring of thousands of powerful Nightmare Elites, over ten thousand Nightmare Beings were completely consumed, not even a shred of flesh or bone left behind.

After devouring these creatures, the power of the Nightmare Elites surged significantly. Even the near-distorted state they were in had eased somewhat.

However, for them, these creatures were far too few—far from satisfying their hunger. Especially after being sealed for tens of thousands of years, their thirst for power and life had grown even stronger.

Seeing this, a gleam of light flashed in Sterl's eyes.

If, before the confrontation with the Dream Spirit Empire, he could restore the combat power of these elites to eighty or even ninety percent, their chances of breaking out would increase significantly.

Now, the Abyssal Prison was eerily silent, but outside of it, there were still many creatures living in the Eternal Light World.

These, too, were food and resources!

Under his lead, the Nightmare Elites moved toward the exit of the Abyssal Prison. Along the way, various traps and mechanisms had already been disabled by Sterl, and no accidents occurred.

The mist that had once enveloped the entrance of the Abyssal Prison had also been partially destroyed by Sterl using Dream Power, and it had yet to fully heal.

As for the seemingly bottomless opening, to the Nightmare Elites, whose power had reached terrifying levels, it was like child's play.

Before long, outside the entrance of the Abyssal Prison, thousands of Nightmare Elites had all escaped from the place that had confined them for tens of thousands of years.

Everyone looked up, gazing at the faint light above the Eternal Light World. Each one of them revealed a chilling smile.

Even though the light was dim, it was still much better than the pitch-black environment they had endured in the Abyssal Prison.

"We're out... we're finally out," muttered one of the Grand Marshals, resembling a centaur. He almost wanted to let out a triumphant howl, but in front of Sterl, he restrained himself.

For this mysterious War Demon, they held not only gratitude and respect but also deep fear.

The fact that he had overthrown the Nightmare Overlord, regardless of the methods used, was enough to prove his power and capabilities.

In addition, these Grand Marshals experienced something strange. They occasionally felt the same oppressive aura they had once sensed from the Nightmare Overlord emanating from Sterl. This feeling only made them more wary of him, and they dared not entertain any other thoughts.

"Walker, Wood," Sterl's voice rang out.

Walker and Wood immediately approached him, and the other Grand Marshals did not dare to delay, waiting for Sterl's orders.

"You two, lead everyone to hunt in the Eternal Light World while keeping an eye on the movements of the Dream Spirit Empire. If you discover anything, report it to me immediately."

"Understood!" they responded.

Soon, the thousands of Nightmare Elites were divided into eleven squads, marching out in great numbers in all directions.

While the Eternal Light World was full of dangers, with many ancient and powerful Nightmare Beings still surviving, against these Nightmare Elites, they were like toothless tigers—no threat at all.

Sterl calmly watched as the Nightmare Elites departed. Even the Colossal War Beast Barbatos was set loose to hunt and restore its vitality.

Once the War Soul Resonance was activated, as long as the number of his forces did not drop to the limit, and he did not actively deactivate the ability, it would continue.

In other words, no matter where these Nightmare Elites went, they would still receive his orders through the War Rhythm ability.

The importance of this ability on the battlefield was self-evident.

Once everyone had left, Sterl began to resume his training in swordsmanship.

Skill and technique required a lot of time and insight. Since he had a slow start, it was only natural that he would need to invest more time and energy into it. Otherwise, even if the potential and upper limit of his abilities were high, if he couldn't keep up with his own pace, it would ultimately become a useless skill.

In addition, during the past half month, the Soul Puppet in Purgatory Space had also accumulated a significant amount.

If he were to refine all of it, he would gain over 45,000 units of high-level soul power and 300,000 units of regular soul power.

However, he didn't immediately use these soul powers to strengthen the main body. With his first confrontation against the Dream Spirit Empire approaching, these soul powers were still considered one of his trump cards. When faced with a dire situation, they might provide a chance for a miraculous comeback.

Moreover, his physical strength had seen considerable improvement. The Fission Law constantly caused destruction within his body, and his Perfect Regeneration ability had been fully activated. Each day, his physical strength improved by 1% to 2%.

Over the course of these two weeks, his physical strength had increased by about 18%.

For his current physical state, this was a massive improvement. The sensation of constantly growing stronger, anytime and anywhere, was intoxicating.

But this pace of growth wasn't enough. He needed to become stronger, and at a faster rate.

Only by doing so could he keep growing stronger and break through any threats.

Otherwise, once he slowed down, if he was held back, he would gradually sink into the mire and eventually fall.

After adjusting his breath, Sterl activated the Land of All Beings imprint and began his swordsmanship training.

After his technique broke through to the master level, the auxiliary effects of Land of All Beings became even more powerful. Each time he swung his sword, it could manifest hundreds of figures, each of them a master of swordsmanship on par with himself.

In essence, with each sword swing, he could experience the insights of hundreds of Swordsmanship Grandmasters.

Of course, under this effect, the consumption of spiritual power was immense. With his current spiritual energy, he could only sustain it for about three hours.

"Overlord Sword—Chā!"

In the Land of All Beings, Sterl gripped his greatsword, suddenly opening his eyes. A faint red glow appeared on the sword, carrying with it a heavy sword intent, and he struck forcefully at the air in front of him.

Immediately after, his vision changed, his spiritual power exhausted, and he found himself back in reality.

"Ha... Developing swordsmanship is harder than I thought," Sterl sighed deeply. This time, under the enhanced state of Land of All Beings, in addition to cultivating his swordsmanship, he also tried to develop his own unique sword techniques.

It was only when he tried to develop them that he realized how difficult it was to create truly powerful sword techniques.

Some sword moves appeared to be spectacular, but were flashy and impractical.

What Sterl needed was a simple, brutal, and powerful sword style, one that was perfect without any weaknesses.

This meant that a significant amount of time was required to test and refine the techniques. Even with the aid of Land of All Beings, it wasn't an easy process.

Fortunately, after two or three hours of refinement, his self-created Overlord Sword Style already had a preliminary form.

Once perfected, the power that his swordsmanship could unleash would be greatly enhanced.

After all, a self-created sword technique had no limitations. As long as his body could withstand it, he could use it indefinitely. It would be a truly personal and powerful ability.

Next, he checked his swordsmanship level.

[Swordsmanship Grandmaster (Technique·Passive, Lv7): Increases sword-type weapon attack power by 106%, nerve reflex speed +44%, dynamic vision ability +22%]

The Swordsmanship Grandmaster had leveled up by two ranks, and this improvement was already quite significant.

As technique abilities advanced, the difficulty of further improvement increased. If it weren't for the aid of Land of All Beings, these two levels might have taken several years—or even longer—to achieve.

"My spiritual power gap is too large. If my spiritual power could support me cultivating continuously in Land of All Beings, my technique abilities would definitely experience a leap in a short period of time."

"I need abilities that can enhance my spiritual power."

He muttered to himself.

Then, he began to search through his memories.

In addition to abilities that could enhance his spiritual power, he could also improve his strength by stacking a large number of passive abilities.

The insights gained from his recent battle with the Nightmare Overlord had been significant.

Compared to those seemingly powerful but ultimately flashy abilities, truly mastering and integrating everything he possessed into a simple and focused system was the key to true strength.

Take the Nightmare Overlord, for example. The opponent didn't have those incredibly flashy, jaw-dropping techniques. The only thing he had was simple slashing, yet it was this straightforward combat style that led Sterl to experience an unprecedented defeat.

Therefore, Sterl made a firm decision in his heart—to simplify the abilities he mastered, focusing on his innate abilities and technique abilities as the core, and combining them with his powerful physical strength, creating his own unique combat system!
