Chapter 102: Turtle

Finally, there was a monster corpse that dropped an item after so long.

Enzo was naturally delighted.

Violet immediately leaped up to retrieve it.

Buzz!

The ball of light dispersed when she grabbed it, revealing a bottle filled with red liquid.

DING!

(You have obtained Blood of Power. By drinking it, someone who has yet to awaken can awaken with a Class A Talent. This item is useless to Awakeners!)

The notification appeared, leaving Enzo stunned.

This was something he had never heard of before.

Apparently, something like this existed—an item capable of directly helping someone who had yet to awaken, allowing them to awaken with a Class A Talent.

Of course, ever since he had seen more of Moba World, he had become convinced that nothing was impossible.

There was always an opportunity.

Someone simply had to be lucky enough to find it.

Blood of Power was clearly one of those rare opportunities.

Enzo didn’t know whether anyone else had ever obtained one.

Perhaps there were others, but they had simply kept it secret.

What was certain was that its rarity was beyond question. Otherwise, someone like Mr. Garcia wouldn’t have been unable to do anything about his son’s failure.

’Hmm, if I offer this to that man, he might be willing to pay a fortune,’ Enzo thought.

The price could vary tremendously depending on whom he offered it to.

Giving it to Emma for free made absolutely no sense.

He was actually more curious about what would happen after the woman awakened with the help of her father.

’There’s no need to rush. This requires some preparation.’

He realized that if he wasn’t careful, Violet might be forced to hand it over.

Mr. Garcia was a ruthless man. He had cast out his own daughter simply because she had failed to awaken, so he might not hesitate to kill someone else for his own interests.

Rumble!

The ground suddenly trembled slightly.

It only lasted for a moment before the tremors became stronger.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Extremely heavy footsteps echoed through the area.

"What is that?" Enzo wondered.

It hadn’t entered the range of his screen, even after he zoomed out as far as possible.

It was clearly far away.

The only option was to observe through Violet’s Fluctuation.

"What..."

Enzo was immediately astonished.

He saw nearly thirty Awakeners who appeared to be around the same level as him.

They were fighting a gigantic turtle.

But it wasn’t actually one turtle.

It was thousands of turtles that had merged into a single formation of light, creating a colossal turtle.

It was thirty meters tall.

That was far too large for a turtle.

It fought by hiding behind its shell, with the shell itself moving like a bullet and smashing into everything around it.

The Awakeners fighting it were being completely suppressed.

"So there are things like this too." Enzo smiled.

Thousands of turtles had formed a formation and combined their strength.

Although he couldn’t see Augus among them, his lackeys were there, including Henry Ribery, who had made an agreement with Violet.

Enzo immediately sent Violet toward them.

Despite being suppressed, the Awakeners weren’t attempting to retreat.

There was only one possibility.

They were after some kind of treasure.

Violet simply ran while concealing herself in Invisible Mode.

Although the distance was considerable, it didn’t take her long to arrive.

The tremors in the area were comparable to a devastating earthquake.

Trees throughout the forest collapsed, while several hills were completely destroyed by the vibrations alone.

The entire area had originally been covered by forest, but now it had been turned into an open battlefield.

Occasionally, the turtle roared and released a shockwave that sent trees flying.

"How are we supposed to destroy this thing?" someone shouted.

"Just keep attacking until it runs out of energy. Whoever contributes the most will receive the most EXP in the end," another person answered.

Every Awakener continued attacking.

Some weren’t particularly suited for offense and instead focused on holding it back because of their powerful defensive abilities.

There were also several Healers whose focus was on restoring the injured Awakeners.

Even if they didn’t attack, the System would still count their contributions and award them a share based on the Awakeners they had assisted.

’So that’s how it works...’

After understanding this, Enzo immediately had Violet gather a massive amount of Fluctuation.

Just like before, she continued until she had to clutch her head.

Whoosh!

The gathered Fluctuation was sent directly toward the turtle.

Unlike other attacks, it was capable of penetrating straight through the shell.

BANG!

The turtle’s back suddenly exploded, creating a round hole as numerous small turtles were blasted out.

Every Awakener was stunned.

Until now, they had only been able to scratch the shell or create tiny holes.

"Who attacked it?" they wondered.

At that moment, Violet appeared.

She couldn’t maintain Invisible Mode in her current condition.

She appeared completely covered in armor, but her helmet then disappeared, revealing her face.

"Her?"

The Awakeners were stunned because they recognized Violet.

"Was she the one who attacked?"

"Impossible. What kind of attack was that? She’s a newcomer."

"But her level is quite high."

"Is she already at the same level as us?"

"She’s Level 28. I just checked."

"Seriously?"

"Even if she reached Level 28, that attack was far too powerful. Even if she’s really that strong, can an Assassin actually unleash an attack with that kind of destructive power? That’s obviously from another Class S Talent."

"Then who did it?"

"Maybe this woman obtained a second Class S Talent."

"..."

Violet remained indifferent.

Enzo forced her not to clutch her head because doing so would reveal her weakness.

Violet quickly drank two bottles of Soul Liquid, instantly restoring her condition.

Although she appeared capable of recovering, Enzo wasn’t going to keep making Violet use Fluctuation excessively in a single day.

He was worried that other side effects might appear.

This time, Violet sent Mana Threads toward the turtle.

The explosion on its back had caused it to roll over, and it was now struggling to right itself.

Violet’s threads extended and wrapped around the turtle.

The skill’s power was naturally different now.

Violet had not only received additional Strength from Enzo, but her armor also increased her Strength by 60%.

The threads might have been made from Mana, but their strength was determined by the Strength attribute.

The threads tightly bound the turtle.

Everyone saw it.

When the turtle finally managed to stand, it seemed unable to move because of the restraint from the threads.

But that only lasted for a moment.

Its strength increased as it forcefully leaped forward.

Even though Violet was wearing the heavy armor, she was still dragged along.

However, she extended the threads even farther, running toward several massive rocks and wrapping her threads around each one.

As time passed, it became increasingly difficult for the turtle to move.

Even though it could still pull with tremendous force, Violet simply continued extending her threads.

"Attack it quickly while it’s slowed down!" the others realized.

This was an incredible opportunity.

The situation had changed dramatically after Violet’s arrival.

Not only had she inflicted significant damage on the turtle, she had even restrained it.

Everyone knew that her contribution would be counted as one of the highest.

Several people unleashed techniques toward Violet.

But they weren’t attacks.

They were buffs.

Violet’s strength instantly increased drastically as numerous buffs were applied to her.

In the end, with the turtle struggling to move, more and more attacks landed.

Its body was destroyed faster and faster.

More small turtles were thrown out, and they could only flee afterward.

BANG!

In the end, the formation completely collapsed on its own.

DING!

(Your contribution to destroying the Turtle Formation has been calculated. Your EXP has increased to the Limit of Level 30, and you have obtained 2,000 System Points!)

(You have reached Level 30. Each of your attributes has increased by 180 points!)

DING!

(To reach Level 31, you must fuse with a Longevity Stone and a Diamond Backbone!)

The notification left Enzo stunned.

However, he couldn’t pay too much attention to it right now.

The collapse of the Turtle Formation had revealed something.

Everyone stared at it, and it was clearly what they had been waiting for all along—not the contribution from destroying the Turtle Formation.

"Oh shit..."

"Really?"

"This thing?"

"Who has the right to claim it?"

"It’s whoever takes it first."

"It can’t be that simple. It belongs to whoever can take it away alive."

"..."

A priceless treasure lay before them. With such a treasure right in front of them and the monster that had been blocking their path gone, the Awakeners’ enemy was no longer the monster.

It was each other.

Being the first to take it didn’t necessarily mean you had the right to keep it.

What mattered was whether you could still survive after taking it.

Although killing another Awakener was a serious offense, it happened often enough. And for those accustomed to fighting, killing humans no longer necessarily brought them much guilt.

Enzo smiled faintly.

With Violet here, why were they even thinking about fighting over it?
