Level Up in Earth Evolution

"Start the activation!" the Lord of Pride ordered the people under his control.

"Yes, Lord," the people replied simultaneously as they took out their black magic staff and started to gather mana together.

Watching this, Irene's expression changed a little.

"Group skill activation!" she muttered with narrowed eyes.

Just as the name states, a skill can be activated by a whole group of people as long as they meet certain conditions.

But in this case, the power of the skill will be overwhelming, and if they lose control over it, the group of people won't end up well.

However, if they succeed, the power of the skill will be raised to a whole new level, and depending on the skill's nature, it can even jump over levels.

"No wonder you are so confident," Irene said with a smile, not being afraid of whatever he is planning.

"Humph, you won't be able to laugh later, priestess," Pride snorted and attacked her, starting their confrontation again.

While the people under his control gathered their mana in large amounts, it was taking a lot of time, making Irene doubt just what the Lord of Pride was planning.

...

As their confrontation continued, Li Wei, who was fighting, frowned.

"What a bad luck," he muttered with a depressed face, watching the female adventurers gathering beside their party while fighting.

There were male ones coming here too, but he scared them away with his skill.

"Brother, why are you depressed? You can scare away female ones too, right?" Li Xin asked with a cold smile, making him shiver.

Elva and others too glanced at him with cold eyes.

"XinXin, it's not that I don't want to, but wouldn't it be too cruel to do that? After all, they are having difficulties in fighting. Also, I am helping male adventurers with my long-range skills because of it I can't help the female ones," Li Wei explained hurriedly.

If he started helping the females, it would only bring trouble, so he left them to come here and get help from Li Xin and others while he helped male adventurers with his long-range skills.

He wasn't some saint, but he also couldn't decline to help them because if he was in trouble with fighting, there will be definitely someone who will come to help him.

Not to mention if someone here got injured badly, it might cause a chain reaction making casualties appear.

"Humph, I will let you go this time," Li Xin replied with a snort and started killing the monsters.

Watching her like this, Li Wei let out a smile.

'It's rare to see her getting jealous, but it's probably because she is in her cycle,' he thought and also started to kill monsters, albeit helping male adventurers sometimes.

As he fought, the fight with the dark factions group was also ongoing; however, no one used high-level skills.

Because the dark factions were keeping their MP reserved to escape while adventurers kept it to fight with the monsters later.

With that, everyone was in a stalemate, not knowing what to do; when Mark and Zek finally arrived closer to Bai Feng while fighting with dark factions, pretending to be righteous.

"Hero Bai Feng, follow us; we will escort you inside the city where the dark factions wouldn't be able to use their skills," Zek said, looking at him from a fifty-meter distance.

However, Bai Feng didn't believe him and shook his head.

"What proof do you have that you are not from the dark factions? Also, you don't need to worry about me escorting inside the city. I am pretty much safe here," he replied as he too killed monsters.

"Hero Bai Feng, we didn't mean anything ill. We just wanted to protect you. Also, if you change your mind, just tell us, we will escort you inside the city with the help of other adventurers," Zek replied loudly, attracting the attention of

nearby adventurers.

"Yes, Hero Bai Feng, just say a word, and we will escort you inside the city."

"Yes, don't worry about us. We will use our high-level skills to escort you inside."

The adventurers who were fighting agreed instantly with the plan as they wanted to get rid of the dark factions immediately.

If not, they wouldn't be able to protect the low-level adventurers who were about to fight high-level monsters.

The knights also heard it, but they didn't say anything and silently agreed with the plan; when suddenly three people made their entry to the battlefield, attracting the attention of everyone.

They all wore black cloaks, hiding their faces, but their sexy curves and bulges on chest revealed they all were women.

However, no one cared about their gender but their ruthless fight with dark factions, where they used heavy moves, sending them flying inside the monster stampede.

The people of the dark factions ended up badly, but they were still able to escape as the monsters weren't that high level.

"Hero Bai Feng, be careful; I think those women are coming for you," Zek warned him with a panicked expression.

He was waiting for the situation to get worse when he will convince the hero to come with him.

But now, the three unknown women are arriving; he couldn't help but doubt their purpose and warned him to be careful.

But who was Bai Feng, a womanizer, which led him to feel the trust in those women with a single glance. He didn't care about what Zek said, and his eyes became focused on their curvy bodies.

As if sensing his gaze, the leader women's eyes flashed coldly.

"Hero Bai Feng, I am high ranking knight; here is my token for proof," she said, showing him the gold token and then took out a magic scroll.

"Here, take this magic scroll; it's utilized with teleportation magic that will let you teleport to a safe place inside the city once you tear it down," she instructed as she threw the magic scroll towards him.

Bai Feng hurriedly caught the magic scroll with a grateful look.

"I, Hero Bai Feng, really thank you for your help. Can I know the name of Miss so I can repay you in the future?" he asked with a smile, forgetting the situation he was in.

"Humph, you are not worthy to know my name," the woman snorted and directly left without doing anything, disappearing into the crowd and leaving everyone stunned.

"Be careful, Hero Bai Feng; I think she is a fake official," Zek warned again with an anxious expression.

However, Bai Feng snorted with anger.

"Humph, what do you mean she is fake? There are official knights here; if they knew her token is fake, they would've warned me," he replied with a cold expression.

However, what he didn't know was that the knights failed to see through the token and received a sound transmission form the higher-ups hiding above the city saying she was original.

The knights were puzzled but didn't say anything as it was the order from the higher-ups.

While Bai Feng remained oblivious, thinking the women might be too shy or embarrassed to talk to him here.

...

Just as he was imagining, the women in question arrived inside the silent house.

"Phew, it's really hard to be a member of the dark faction," she muttered as she undressed and directly threw herself on the couch.

"Madam, you can't sleep like that; we will get scolded," her subordinate reminded after watching this.

"Eh, why is that? I am still wearing my inner garments," the leader woman replied with a pout and didn't care about their responses.

'I wonder what I should do after getting so much money. Hehe,' she chuckled, thinking about the money she was going to receive.

The teleportation scroll she gave Bai Feng was a long-distance teleportation that would directly send him to the designated destination.

There was a restriction to teleport others, but if you used it on yourself, the city guarding function won't be triggered, so she was very confident with her plans.

...

As she was thinking, up in the sky between the clouds, two men hovered over the city, watching everything on the battlefield.

"Is it really okay to let the hero be kidnapped like that?" Charlie asked with irritation.

"What can we do if someone like her came to join the fun, or do you dare to go against her?" Barrett asked with a sigh.

Hearing this, Charlie became silent and clenched his fists tightly.

"Why the hell they let a younger generation like her roam here, and inside the dark faction, are they finally siding with them?" he said in anger.

However, Barrett remained calm and replied.

"The dark faction she joined is too weak. Do you really think they will go against her after knowing who she is? And she is running away from home, but her family let it go so she could gain some experience from outside," he explained and focused his gaze in the clouds.

"Also, the old foggies of dark factions are here, but did you see them take any actions? It's because they too are afraid of her background," he concluded, finishing his talk.

Hearing this, Charlie didn't say anything and looked down where the mages of dark factions were about to activate the group skill.

"Will the city survive if we won't take any action?" he asked, taking a deep breath.

"The city won't survive, but its people will. However, if we take action, everyone in the city will die, so don't think of doing anything. Also, drop the mission," Barrett reminded him with a calm gaze.

They were both above level 200 and came here to kill the Lord of Pride, but the dark factions also sent people the same level as them to protect the Pride from being killed.

If they really engaged in a fight, the defensive shield of the city will break with just one or two attacks, making everyone in danger, so they can't attack, at least here.

As for the dark factions, the situation was roughly the same. The first was the mysterious girl with a background; if her life became endangered, things wouldn't end up good for them.

As for the second, she was Priestess Irene. If a fight really happened, she would go all out to kill the Lord of Pride, and they wouldn't be able to do anything as they would be engaging with Barrett and Charlie.

No matter what, it wasn't something good, as the seven lords were important for them, so they were also in a stalemate for not being able to do anything.

But with what the Lord of Pride has prepared, the city will be destroyed with some casualties, and it was enough for them, so they were already happy with results and didn't care about the hero, as he might not end up well after using the scroll.

...

As the fight continued, the dark faction mages finally completed their preparation to cast the skill.

"Spatial Manipulation," they chanted loudly.

*Booooom!*

A loud thundering sound echoed throughout the battlefield, attracting the attention of everyone at the dark faction's mages.

Where a massive crack was forming in the air that connected to another space.

...

"Fuck, not this again," Li Wei cursed and hurriedly used sound transmission on Li Xin and his party members.

(XinXin, YinYin, you all don't worry about me; I will be back), he informed them and disappeared from his place with shadow step in a hurry.

However no one noticed his departure as he left his clone there without any delay.
