I, the All-Class Magus, All My Awakening Skills are LvMax

Some quick-witted individuals, upon hearing John's words, began to rapidly retreat or raise their shields.

However, others who were slower to react remained rooted in place.

The next second, John's lips barely moved.

"Light Sword Rain!"

Instantly, the sky was filled with numerous light swords, their brilliance nearly illuminating half of the sky.

Then the light swords plummeted down! The twenty-plus people on the platform turned into flashes of white light and vanished.

Even those who had managed to raise shields found them as flimsy as paper against the massive onslaught of damage!

But incredibly, while these twenty-plus individuals had disappeared, the platform itself remained undamaged.

Some people's looks towards John changed.

His control over skills had reached a terrifyingly precise level, truly extraordinary!

Archibald stood nearby, his face pale as death! Just moments ago, a person less than half a meter from him had turned into white light right before his eyes.

Had he taken one more step forward, he would have been among those who vanished! The spot where he had stood was incredibly fortunate, it was simply luck.

No...

No, no, no!

He suddenly realized it wasn't just luck.

This man had intentionally spared him!

Even directing his skills to specifically avoid him.

It was terrifying, utterly terrifying!

This man's mastery over skill control had reached a horrifying extent!

Even being able to precisely spare him, what kind of power did this entail?

He suddenly found himself somewhat amused.

Thinking of challenging John one-on-one?

What a joke!

He had always scoffed at those who overestimated themselves.

But just now, he had almost become the butt of the joke himself!

His view of John had completely changed from just moments ago.

This man was overwhelmingly powerful!

As formidable as a towering mountain standing before him, utterly insurmountable!

His gaze towards John shifted from initial disbelief to now admiration.

When someone is slightly stronger than you, you might think of surpassing them.

When they are a bit more powerful, you might feel disdain or even jealousy.

But when their strength is so great that you can't possibly overtake them, all you can feel is reverence!

Now, that was John!

He was so powerful that no words could adequately describe him, leaving everyone speechless!

Even the spectators watching from outside were dumbfounded.

A slight smile played on Geoffrey's lips, his heart swelling with delight! This was a good thing for them!

Their academy would attract more and more talents! Eventually, their academy would stand proud among the rest.

He inadvertently turned his head and noticed that Principal Sophia's expression had grown more serious.

He sharply sensed that something was amiss but didn't dare to ask, instead watching silently from the side.

Some things were not for him to decide, so it was better to keep quiet.

"Anyone else want to come up?"

John's tone was indifferent as he looked at the people below.

Wherever his gaze landed, everyone involuntarily lowered their eyes or averted their gaze, unable to meet his stare.

In that moment, their bowed heads expressed their stance—submission.

"It was your own choice not to come forward, not that I didn't give you a chance."

John sheathed his Bloodthirsty Blade, still holding his staff, appearing harmless.

But everyone who had witnessed his actions knew that this man was far from as simple as he appeared.

Outwardly gentle and refined, yet in reality, he was an undeniable slayer.

Though some still felt defiant, seeing John's forceful approach, they could only grudgingly submit.

Twenty or thirty people hadn't even made him break a sweat, instead, John had annihilated them all in one strike.

What was most terrifying was his control over his skills, far surpassing anyone's imagination—a level none of them could match.

"Since there are no objections, I will state my rules."

John's voice was indifferent, but it carried an undeniable authority.

"Within this fortress, no one is allowed to fight among themselves, violators will die!"

"All resources will be distributed based on effort; anyone who steals from others or conceals resources, die!"

"Those who do not follow orders, die!"

"Traitors to the fortress, die!"

His successive pronouncements of "die" rattled everyone profoundly!

They had never considered that John would be so straightforward and brutal.

They had anticipated that he might want to make an example of them, but they had never imagined that John disdained using such so-called tactics, opting instead for a direct and clean display of power through strength.

A chilling intent permeated the air above the fortress.

"I have spoken. If anyone disagrees but dares not challenge me, you may leave now."

John added quietly, causing some to stir with hesitation.

After all, there were three fortresses.

They were bound to follow John's commands in this one.

While John's personal strength was immense, his strategic abilities might not be as outstanding.

It was a team battle, and if the fortress fell, everyone's scores would reset to zero.

They would completely lose the right to compete with others.

It seemed better to try their luck in one of the other two fortresses, where there might be more capable leaders.

Some tentatively made their way toward the fortress gate.

It was only after stepping outside and realizing there were no issues that they breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the initial few seemed unharmed, several others followed suit.

About twenty or thirty people left, already planning which fortress to head to next.

But the next second…

"Thorned Rock Serpent."

The indifferent tone came from the man on the platform.

Instantly, two Thorned Rock Serpents erupted from the ground outside the fortress! Their massive bodies startled everyone.

Some, realizing what was happening, panicked and tried to return to the fortress, but it was too late!

The serpents entwined everyone and swallowed them whole!

Those people didn't even have a chance to scream before they turned into white light.

Some were gruesomely strangled, making for a particularly horrifying sight.

Everyone inside the fortress witnessed what transpired just outside the gates.

Suddenly, they sobered up, grateful for their own restraint.

Some had initially wanted to leave but had hesitated, sparing themselves from going outside.

Now, it seemed that had they left, they would have turned into white light just like the others.

All eyes within the fortress trembled as they looked at John, their gazes filled with fear.

Had this man gone mad?!

Among those who had just left were scions of powerful noble families!

By killing these individuals so directly, he was openly defying these influential families!

How could someone from a remote star system dare to do this?!

Did he truly believe he could do whatever he wanted?

Did he really think he could act with impunity here?

But leaving would mean facing the combined retribution of other families!

In the stands, the audience was stunned to see these people mercilessly killed by John.

Ruthless!

Cold-blooded!

Arrogant!

These were all the words they could think of to describe John, but it was more than that.

This man was wildly audacious.

So young, yet so arrogant—did he truly not fear making enemies of all the families?!

Did he really think that some measure of strength allowed him to act as he pleased?

Utterly naive!

The noble scions who were teleported out glared furiously at John inside the secret realm.

John was nothing short of a despicable villain, playing different cards depending on the situation! He had said they could leave, but then he unexpectedly struck from behind!

"Didn't you say you'd let them leave?" someone inside the fortress mustered the courage to ask.

John had clearly stated they could leave, but then suddenly attacked them—what was going on?

John glanced at the man.

The man quickly lowered his head, his heart pounding.

John didn't pay much attention to him and simply stated flatly, "I said, traitors to the fortress, die!"
