...

The Vanguard champions who had just besieged John had, without exception, all turned into John’s points.

Only a few Overlord-level figures, such as the Earthborn powerhouse and the goshawkkin powerhouse, were barely clinging to life.

They all possessed talents, which was why they had not been instantly killed.

The Earthborn powerhouse even absorbed the energy contained in the surrounding soil and instantly restored his HP to full. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Heh."

When John saw this, he let out a cold laugh.

In his eyes, these were nothing but meaningless struggles.

At most, it would only make him swing his blade one more time.

"Run! Something’s wrong with this guy!"

"This man definitely isn’t an ordinary human!"

"He might not even be human at all!"

The few remaining powerhouses were filled with terror and quickly fled in all directions.

John watched as the figures rapidly left his field of vision. Without the slightest panic, he changed his equipment set into his archer set.

Immediately after, a bow appeared in his hand.

[In this place, dodging is forbidden!]

He first activated the Law of Prohibition, deleting all dodging skills in the area.

Then, he slowly drew his bow.

Buzz!

Streaks of golden energy immediately gathered on the bow, blazing with scorching heat.

His SSS-rank talent—Godly Archer!

Once activated, his shot would never miss.

John released an arrow.

In an instant, it split into several energy arrows, chasing after the few powerhouses who had just fled.

John did not even look at the result.

He simply put away his bow and left.

...

The Earthborn powerhouse continued fleeing deep underground. Layer after layer of thick rock was used by him as shields behind his body.

"Too terrifying. That human simply isn’t human at all. And he’s supposed to be a rookie?

"Who the hell let such a freak in here?"

The Earthborn powerhouse cursed while continuously increasing his escape speed.

However, it was at this moment.

A dazzling white light pierced through a hundred meters of soil and abruptly arrived.

The Earthborn powerhouse’s expression changed. He was just about to activate a life-saving skill, but it was already too late.

The terrifying power of the arrow instantly pierced through his body.

Before the Earthborn powerhouse could even react, he was completely insta-killed by the force of the arrow.

...

The goshawkkin fleeing through the sky suffered the same fate.

No matter how high he flew, the arrow arrived instantly and pierced through him.

The remaining powerhouses each displayed their own abilities, trying to escape this place.

But under the law that forbade dodging, no matter where they fled, they were struck and instantly killed by the arrows.

...

Notifications kept ringing beside John’s ears.

[You have killed a Level 250 Earthborn powerhouse. You have gained 33 points!]

[You have killed a Level 270 goshawkkin powerhouse. You have gained 132 points!]

[You have killed...]

With just this single wave of kills, John’s points directly approached 500.

His position on the Points Ranking also skyrocketed straight into the top 100.

This strategy of luring the snakes out of their holes could be called perfect!

Aside from that, he had also obtained an SS-rank skill.

It had been plundered from the Earthborn powerhouse.

John opened it to check.

[Earthdraw]

[Rank]: SS-rank

[Effects]:

When standing on the earth, you may draw energy from the surrounding soil layers, restoring HP at a rate of 5% per second! When suffering a fatal attack, you may draw energy from the surrounding soil layers to instantly restore HP to full! Mountain-Devouring Veinbreaker. By absorbing energy from the surrounding soil layers, you can cause mountains to collapse, dealing massive crushing damage to enemies within the mountain’s coverage area!

...

"How average."

After reading it, John gave this evaluation.

For powerhouses of other races, the recovery ability of this earth-type body might perhaps be considered excellent.

But to John, it was nothing at all.

He possessed an SSS-rank priest-class talent skill that was even stronger than this.

Even the only offensive method within this talent did not catch his eye.

"Forget it. I’ll keep it for now. Maybe it’ll be useful for synthesis in the future."

John sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

...

At the same time, because John had consecutively killed several All-race powerhouses whose points exceeded 10 or whose names were on the ranking, announcements rang out one after another throughout the surrounding area.

[Within this range, the Level 250 Earthborn Vanguard has been killed by a Level 150 human Vanguard!]

[The Level 270 goshawkkin Vanguard ranked 993rd on the Points Ranking has been killed by a Level 150 Vanguard!]

[Within this range...]

The other Vanguard champions who had not taken part in the siege all felt a wave of fear and lingering dread after hearing the announcements.

"Is the human Vanguard that terrifying? He can directly kill enemies despite a level gap of 100?"

"That’s more than terrifying. Judging from the way these announcements rang out consecutively, it means he instantly killed so many powerhouses at the same time!"

"It’s over. Looks like another great killing god has appeared on this battlefield."

"Heh, aren’t you all looking down on yourselves too much? In my opinion, this human Vanguard merely picked up a few kills in the chaos."

"That’s possible. Otherwise, how could someone capable of instantly killing so many powerhouses at once be absent from the ranking?"

"That’s right. Let me check if his name is on the ranking... Hiss, there really is a human Vanguard!"

At first, the Vanguards of the other races still wanted to be stubborn.

But when they opened the rankings and saw John sitting at 73rd place, all of them froze on the spot.

If they remembered correctly, this human Vanguard had only entered today, right?

And he had already charged into 73rd place on the Points Ranking so quickly?

This kind of strength absolutely could not have come from merely picking up kills.

Not good.

This person was another ruthless character with terrifying strength who liked pretending to be weak.

Run!!!

...

At this moment, a pair of hawk wings plundered from the goshawkkin powerhouse had appeared on John’s back.

He continuously flapped his wings, his gaze overlooking the land below.

Perhaps because the string of kills just now had scared away the nearby powerhouses, John patrolled this region several times but failed to find any new targets.

"Tsk. You all like hiding that much?"

John looked at the motionless ground and shook his head slightly. His figure rapidly descended.

"Do you really think hiding is useful? Since you’ve entered, obediently become my points."

John lightly stepped on the ground.

The SS-rank talent Earthdraw that he had just plundered instantly activated.

Every mountain peak nearby was instantly drained dry by him, turning into dust and being flattened to the ground.

Because John’s energy was nearly infinite, he could continuously activate this skill without stopping.

One mountain range after another vanished completely under his absorption.

Without the mountains to conceal them, the figures of many Vanguards from other races were instantly revealed.
