Chapter 53

Chapter 53: The Torrent of Explosive Wolves Was Defeated 

Meanwhile, on the big screen outside the Mystic Realm, Team Cullen chased the Explosive Wolves into the valley at high speed. 

They had just won their battle at the valley entrance, increasing Cullen’s level. He was now a level eight Swordmaster, making him want to parade before Moss. 

Cullen did the unusual by leading his team to support Moss. This attracted the audience’s attention and sparked a heated discussion. 

“What is Cullen doing? Is he trying to divert more trouble to Moss?” 

“B-But they’re the ones who are chasing after the pack of Explosive Wolves. I don’t understand what is happening.” 

“Does he think Moss isn’t under enough pressure?” 

“Maybe Cullen is going to support Moss.” 

At that moment, Cullen had already branded himself a traitor since he usually attacked his schoolmates and abandoned his companions. Therefore, everyone thought he would cause trouble for Moss instead of supporting him. 

But Cullen only wanted to show off his abilities before Moss and use his level eight Swordmaster strength to suppress him. Class one’s teacher revealed a smile as she looked at the big screen. 

Class one’s teacher was happy when she saw Cullen and his teammates running toward Moss. She thought Cullen had finally decided to do the right thing, allowing her to reclaim her reputation before her fellow teachers. 

Nonetheless, Cullen made a terrible impression on his juniors, teachers, and school higher-ups. He had brought this upon himself and couldn’t blame others. 

But as Cullen’s teacher, she wanted him to turn over a new leaf. Cullen was still a young man, after all. At that moment, class one’s teacher looked at Cullen on the screen expectantly. She didn’t hope for Cullen to achieve extraordinary results and only wished he wouldn’t make more mistakes and offend the school higher-ups again. 

The camera continued to pan, and an exciting scene appeared before the audience. As Team Cullen rushed forward, the Explosive Wolves they chased quickly regrouped with the wolf pack that surrounded a tree and faced Cullen’s team once again. 

Although the wolf pack had regrouped with their other pack members under the tree, they were only low-leveled Magical Beasts. Meanwhile, Team Cullen was full of vigor when they arrived. 

Cullen and Bailey represented their teams as their most active members, especially Cullen. He tried his best to show the effects of his level up to Moss. 

With Cullen’s new improvements, he sent his Imperial Sword flying up and down. Thus, the pack of Explosive Wolves that had just gathered under the tree again dispersed. 

When the school’s director saw this, he revealed a smile and nodded in satisfaction. 

“Look, everyone! Senior Alan is here to help Senior Moss! They seem to be targeting a level seven pack leader!” 

The audience saw Moss using his shield to form a barrier so he could attract the pack leader’s attention. When the pack leader leaped toward Moss, Alan quickly threw a paralyzing potion into the barrier while exclaiming excitedly. 

The audience became interested when they heard Moss and Alan had targeted a level seven pack leader. They turned their attention to the battle happening on the tree as several students resembled broadcasters and commentators. 

“Senior Moss has successfully lured the pack leader into his barrier!” 

“Seniors Alan and Moss’s coordination is simply flawless! The paralyzing potion instantly exploded when the pack leader entered the barrier. Senior Moss managed to retreat just as the pack leader pounced, causing it to become trapped in his barrier.” 

“The pack leader is struggling to get out of the barrier, and now the other high-leveled Magical Beasts are rushing over to protect the pack leader!” 

At that moment, everyone felt sorry for Moss because he missed a perfect opportunity to attack. 

The audience knew that the pack leader had already inhaled the paralyzing potion. Although the potion wasn’t enough to kill the pack leader, it could still slow the Magical Beast down. 

Moreover, the high-leveled Explosive Wolves had yet to arrive. The moment the pack leader’s backup arrived, it would regain its strength, making it difficult for Moss to use the same strategy twice. 

But in the students’ opinions, Moss and Alan’s teamwork had surpassed their peers. Even if another ten years passed, the school would never witness such excellent teamwork again. 

Nonetheless, Moss and Alan failed to deal a fatal blow to the pack leader even though there was an opportunity to do so. In the end, it came down to having a gap between strength and awareness. Even if Moss and Alan possessed appropriate tactics and coordination, they could not close the gap between strength and awareness. 

Despite that, Moss and Alan’s series of maneuvers had some gains. At the very least, it proved that they could face a level seven pack leader. Moreover, the pack leader had also inhaled a lot of paralyzing potion, giving Moss and Alan another chance to kill it. 

Suddenly, something unexpected happened. A strong wind blew from behind the pack leader. It was swift and urgent, obviously carrying a terrifying power with it. The wind separated the pack leader’s brown fur. 

The pack leader sensed the impending danger and desperately jumped to the side. Moss noticed the pack leader’s jumping pattern and swung his sword horizontally. Then a dark red flying sword flashed toward the pack leader’s throat simultaneously. 

Everyone present widened their eyes. They wondered, ‘Was that Senior Moss’s sword or Cullen’s sword?’ The audience fell silent as the screen flashed. 

Suddenly, a silver-gray figure appeared as it lept toward the swords. Then the dark red flying sword pierced through its throat as it bled and died. 

At that moment, a high-pitched scream echoed from the audience, “Senior Moss’s sword pierced through the pack leader’s body!” 

The rest of the audience, immersed in the thrilling scene, returned to their senses. Then cheers exploded from the audience stands. 

“Yes! Senior Moss killed that level seven pack leader!” 

“The Z-shaped cut that Senior Moss carved into the pack leader’s head was cool!” 

“Wait, wasn’t that Cullen’s sword?” 

“Cullen tried to steal Senior Moss’s kill!” 

“No, Cullen shouldn’t have gotten that kill.” 

Cullen revealed an unwilling expression on the screen as he glared at the Explosive Wolf that he had just killed. Then, as if he had gone mad, Cullen used his Imperial Sword and continuously stabbed the Magical Beast before him. It was as if he was venting his frustrations. 

Meanwhile, some Explosive Wolves died, while the others escaped into the valley depths. When the audience witnessed their seniors defeating the pack of Explosive Wolves, they cheered enthusiastically. 

Even the atmosphere among the teachers and higher-ups was lively.
