Chapter 45: Moss’s Appearance, a Strange Effect
Cullen couldn’t take his eyes off the fierce battle between Moss and the wolf pack. He was in utter disbelief. After rubbing his eyes, Cullen had no choice but to accept that Moss was still alive and well in the Mystic Realm.
Cullen’s eyebrows furrowed when he saw Moss killing a few Explosive Wolves consecutively. Fear overwhelmed his heart at that moment. Cullen muttered in disbelief, “He survived facing more than twenty Magical Beasts?! How did he do that all by himself?!”
‘I can’t face a pack of Elite Explosive Wolves even at level seven. If I had teammates to hold them back, it would still take me a lot of time and effort to deal with those wolves.’
‘There are also level six and seven Magical Beasts with special skills, so it’ll take me even more time and effort to deal with them. Did Alan give him a powerful magic potion or something?’
Cullen was aware of how powerful his family was, and he had seen Alan use an anesthetic. The anesthetic would release an enormous green cloud even though it was only a one-star anesthetic. Even a level ten Magical Beast would not withstand its effects if it inhaled this greed cloud. 1
‘But that anesthetic wouldn’t affect such a large pack of wolves. Could it be a two-star anesthetic or potion? What a d*mn fool!’ Cullen couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Cullen had only seen his father use two-star potions. Cullen hadn’t even used such a thing from the White Deer Magic Potions Group, yet his idi*t cousin dared to use it on an outsider. Cullen decided to report this matter to his family when the test was over.
“Don’t just stand there, Captain Cullen. You’re the core of our formation! We don’t know what’s happening back there, but our defenses are weakening without your Imperial Sword. Everyone has almost depleted their strength!”
Cullen’s expression changed at the sound of Bailey’s shout. Although some wolves had run toward Moss, there were still many at the valley’s entrance. But they seemed to be on steroids. The Explosive Wolves’ eyes were bloodshot, and they were more excited than usual.
Cullen saw Alan holding a sword with one hand and a paralytic potion in the other to suppress the Explosive Wolves. He couldn’t help but sneer, “It seems that they still have to rely on me to eliminate the wolves.”
Cullen’s golden-red sword instantly appeared before Bailey as he spoke. A whistling sound echoed as the sword turned into a golden-red flash and dashed around.
In the blink of an eye, Cullen’s Imperial Sword pierced through an Explosive Wolf’s throat as it was about to attack one of Cullen’s teammates. Blood splattered all over his teammate, causing him to shudder.
Bailey had seen Cullen use his Imperial Sword many times, yet he was filled with envy as he exclaimed, “Captain Cullen is mighty!”
Hearing Bailey’s praise, Cullen nodded with gratitude and continued to control his Imperial Sword. However, he didn’t have the time to look away as he said, “Bailey, I need you to pass down my orders. Tell everyone to hold on. Something is going on behind the pack, which is a great opportunity.”
Bailey nodded vigorously. Then he turned around and ran toward the team. “Come on, everyone. Something is happening behind the pack. Now’s our chance to fight back while Captain Cullen holds the high ground. Victory is near!”
After speaking, Bailey did his best to help defend his teammates. With Cullen’s focus, the pressure on his teammates decreased dramatically, and they began to communicate better. However, they were confused about what happened next.
“What’s going on in the back?”
“I feel like there’s something wrong back there. Why does the pack seem to waver?”
“Something must’ve happened. I saw some Explosive Wolves turning around and running away.”
“Did someone from the outside come to our aid?”
“I don’t think so. Everyone who entered the Mystic realm is all here.”
“You guys should stop talking. It’s an excellent opportunity for us to level up. Look, Captain Cullen has killed a few level five Explosive Wolves.”
Meanwhile, Ell commanded her Tibetan Mastiff to fight against the Explosive Wolves. She was dissatisfied after hearing someone mention Cullen. Elle was a Beast Exorcist, which wasn’t a popular class even though it was excellent. She could tame all kinds of fierce beasts as her battle partner and could tame more fierce beasts as she leveled up. This class also allowed for training beasts for others.
Ell sneered, “How can you have the guts to say that. My Tibetan Mastiff and I were about to kill a level five Explosive Wolf when Cullen stole it from us!”
At this point, Ell thought of Moss and knew he was better than Cullen. Moss would leave the lower-leveled Magical Beast to his teammates while taking on the more difficult higher-leveled Magical Beasts.
Then Ell’s hope flickered as she thought of Moss. She exclaimed, “Alan, do you think Captain Moss came over to help us?!”
When Alan heard Ell’s words, he felt like he had just woken up from a dream. His eyes widened as he threw two paralytic potions at the pack of Explosive Wolves. Then he immediately ran to the high ground.
Alan saw the wolves attacking in an orderly fashion close by. Then he looked into the distance and noticed the pack of wolves at the center were running around like headless chickens. They looked around frantically, not knowing what to do.
Further away, the second wave of wolves faced another direction, surrounding an enormous tree. “Wow! There’s a lot of commotion down there!”
Alan became curious about what was happening at the pack’s rear when he saw the pack change their formation. He looked at the enormous tree and saw a figure fighting against an Explosive Wolf.
“Moss is back there! He’s still alive!” Alan could quickly tell it was Moss due to his armor. He couldn’t hide his excitement and continued cheering at the top of his lungs. Tears of joy appeared in Alan’s eyes.
Alan thought the wolves had eliminated Moss and regretted leaving his best friend. However, Moss was alive and seemed to be even stronger than before. Alan shouted to vent his suppressed emotions.
Everyone was shocked to hear that Moss was still alive.
“How did he survive? That’s simply incredible since he’s just a knight!”
Ell was the most excited student among the crowd. She couldn’t suppress her excitement any longer. She shouted in a daze as she helped her schoolmates fight against the Explosive Wolves, “That’s amazing! I knew he would survive!”
Ell stopped doubting Moss ever since she saw how capable he was. Although Moss faced many difficult situations, and Alan thought the wolves had eliminated him, Ell continued believing in Moss from the depths of her heart.
If not for the siege of Explosive Wolves, Ell would have run toward Moss and expressed her praise and gratitude for him. After shouting, Ell commanded her Tibetan Mastiff to attack the Explosive Wolves before her.
Alan excitedly swung his sword and rushed toward the Explosive Wolves he had knocked down with his paralyzing potion. When he returned to his initial spot, he shouted, “Come on, my comrades. Moss is holding off the wolves at the back! We can attack and catch the wolves off guard!”
The students started attacking fiercely under Ell and Alan’s influence. They killed more than twenty Magical Beasts as they worked together. There were currently less than fifty Explosive Wolves in their way.
