Time is slightly adjusted forward.
[Do you wish to proceed with the Life Ascension?]
When a portion of his consciousness in the sea of consciousness heard the system's prompt, Chen Luo unhesitatingly chose to agree.
The next moment, in reality, as Chen Luo's body was controlling fireballs to swiftly eliminate the seemingly demoralized wolf pack, a golden light manifested from the void and enveloped Chen Luo entirely.
[Life Ascension commencing! Analyzing target player's life intensity!]
[.....] The golden light enveloped Chen Luo, seemingly analyzing something.
[.....] The analysis time was unexpectedly long, but everything outside the golden light seemed to have paused.
Suddenly, the prompt turned bright red!
[Warning!! Player's life intensity detected to be too high!!! Reaching Calamity-tier standards!! The life energy you are currently accumulating is insufficient to support the advancement!!!]
[Proceeding with advancement by force may affect your future development! Do you wish to continue the advancement!]
"This is interesting, am I too strong?" Chen Luo looked at the system prompt before him, feeling as if he had grasped something.
Although he didn't understand what Calamity-tier was, it was clearly much stronger than the Elite-tier of the Night Wolves before.
After all, they were first-tier Elite-tier, while Chen Luo was zero-tier Calamity-tier.
It was just that he was unsure if the so-called life energy referred to that single first-tier Elite-tier Night Wolf, or the tens of thousands of Night Wolves Chen Luo had slaughtered so far.
"System, stop the advancement!" The golden light instantly dissipated, and Chen Luo's consciousness returned to his body, the battlefield resuming its activity.
Chen Luo unhesitatingly chose to stop the advancement, because even if he couldn't level up, he would still grow stronger with every passing second.
However, since the system said the life energy he had accumulated was insufficient, he would continue to kill!
The more energy he had, the stronger he would likely become after advancing.
And tonight, his enemies would not be few.
After all, he had only killed over ten thousand Night Wolves so far, and within this city, there were still eight million Night Wolves rushing towards him, wanting to kill him!
It remained to be seen if he could achieve the strongest advancement after slaughtering these eight million Night Wolves. After all, he was still far from slaying dragons.
Thinking of the terrifying existence on the ice-bound battlefield, Chen Luo was eager to possess even greater strength!
---
Time returns to the present. Hearing the wolf howls that resounded throughout the city, unlike the bewildered and helpless crowd, Chen Luo knew that these were his greatest enemies tonight.
And the real battle was about to begin from this moment.
Hundreds of fireballs fiercely charged into the darkness, instantly turning the last few hundred Night Wolves surrounding the stadium into ashes by Chen Luo.
But standing under the faint light, the three hundred combat team members felt the surroundings becoming increasingly oppressive.
Even the young ladies inside the gate, who had been staring at Chen Luo, had no interest in looking at the handsome man anymore.
A primal instinct was constantly warning them that some irresistible disaster was about to descend!
The night became incredibly silent. The originally hot summer night had become very cold due to the constant wind and snow.
In the chilling solemnity, as the explosions of fireballs also ceased, not even the chirping of insects could be heard.
Zhang Wei swallowed, as a mage with mental specialization, he was one of the few with strong perception besides Chen Luo after leveling up.
Even though the wolf pack in the darkness had been cleared by Chen Luo, he looked at the deathly silent darkness, feeling as if he were about to be swallowed by it at any moment.
"Boss, Boss! I, I'm a little scared. What should we do next? You say, I'll listen to you!"
Chen Luo, who was protected at the center by the combat team, heard Zhang Wei's slightly trembling words. He turned his head and looked at his unusually pale face.
Not only him, but the three hundred brave warriors who had fought to protect him, and the healing team and thousands of logistics personnel behind the gate, all had unusually pale faces.
But even so, their gazes towards Chen Luo remained full of trust.
They believed that in this silent night, this man who always brought miracles was the last light!
Being trusted felt quite good. With a mental attribute of 370 points, Chen Luo felt it even more than others.
The darkness before him had completely become synonymous with death, and his enemies were constantly approaching.
"Cough cough..." Chen Luo instantly healed his slightly reduced health, but couldn't help but cough a couple of times.
And as everyone watched Chen Luo cough, their hearts grew heavy.
That's right, the boss was also human, and he would get tired.
It was always the boss who stood at the forefront, bearing the greatest pressure.
No, we must protect the boss. If the boss is in trouble, our safe zone is completely finished!
A light cough made everyone worry about Chen Luo's condition. Zhang Wei was the first to walk up to Chen Luo and said solemnly:
"Boss! You should go back first. We've all gotten stronger. From now on, we'll hold the line! You get some rest!"
Chen Luo looked at the little fatty's still trembling legs and couldn't help but curve his lips:
"You guys, have you forgotten my words?"
"Tonight, we have eight million enemies to kill, and we've only killed ten thousand so far. Are you sure you want to hold the line?"
Hearing Chen Luo mention this, the others finally remembered Chen Luo's words before the expedition. So it wasn't a jest, but the truth?
Everyone's faces had turned somewhat pale, and Zhang Wei's voice trembled uncontrollably. By the end, he even shouted:
"Hold... hold... we can hold!"
Chen Luo looked at the terrified Zhang Wei, and others who felt doom was imminent.
In his blurred mental perception, they were all afraid, but none of them hated him. In fact, they genuinely wanted him to go back first.
He had actually become someone they felt needed protecting.
Thinking of this, Chen Luo couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Hahaha!!! You people, I told you! Have you forgotten my words!"
"You have shed blood with me! Then, from now on, this is my battlefield!"
"Go back! Isn't the boss the one who stands at the forefront at critical moments?"
"Relying on your subordinates to protect me? Your boss isn't that weak!"
Hundreds of pale blue magic hands suddenly appeared in the field. With a thought from Chen Luo, the three hundred comrades who had guarded him for half the day were sent back into the stadium.
The next moment, Chen Luo looked at the bone-chilling darkness and a pure white candle suddenly appeared in his hand.
Chen Luo lightly tapped his index finger, and a spark appeared on his fingertip, igniting the "Candlelight" in his hand.
With a casual wave, this pure white candle landed inside the gate, in front of everyone.
A light suddenly emanated from the candlelight as the origin point, completely enveloping the entire safe zone.
Chen Luo, however, stood outside the safe zone, his back to everyone, and said loudly:
"Just watch, watch how I, Chen Luo, tear through this unreasonable night!"
