Chapter 56

Moss noticed that the Mystic Realm Boss’s tiger-like body grew bigger as it shook its head in pain.

The boss’s front claws tore at the ground as its blood-red eyes emitted a terrifying glow. It opened its bloody mouth and chomped continuously as its white fur hardened and shot up like steel needles.

Moss recovered from his dizziness a few seconds later and swept his gaze across the field. Meanwhile, Cullen, Bailey, and the others held their heads and stood still, dizzy from the Mystic Realm Boss’s howl.

Alan wasn’t doing any better. He was probably recovering from his dizziness behind the big tree. Moss was in great shock when he glanced at the Mystic Realm Boss’s exploration badge. “That’s a level ten Magical Beast!”

Then Moss remembered he had seen the relevant records about the Explosive Wolf when he looked for information in the library. Moss witnessed the Explosive Wolf’s Mutation skill.

Wolf Mutation was a terrifying skill, appearing when Explosive Wolves reached level eight and above. In the wolves’ later levels, they would undergo a mutation combined with their talent. The wolf’s levels would instantly increase as its skills became twice as effective.

The level eight Mystic Realm Boss must’ve evolved with Cullen’s fatal blow stimulating its potential. Cullen had unknowingly triggered the Mystic Realm Boss’s mutation.

The wolf’s level instantly increased by two, making it a top-tier Magical Beast. It was now a level ten Explosive Wolf King.

After a while, its tiger-like body doubled in size. Then it stopped and violently roared in the location of the dark red light. It glared at Team Cullen. The Explosive Wolf King announced its strength to the enemy who offended it.

Moss dared not delay his actions when he saw this. He knew that Alan and Team Cullen would be in grave danger once the Explosive Wolf King launched its attack.

“Explosive Heavy Strike!” Moss leaped into the air with a loud shout. His sword formed a silver moon, striking toward the Explosive Wolf King. Moss’s level nine physical ability and speed were much stronger than before.

With Moss’s current stats, his attack would be effective against the level eight Magical Beast. But just when he was about to hit the Explosive Wolf King, it quickly dodged Moss’s fatal blow.

‘Such insane speed!’ Moss couldn’t help but praise the level ten Magical Beast’s reaction speed. The Explosive Wolf King noticed the human attacking him as soon as it mutated.

“Awoo!”

The Explosive Wolf King howled and shifted its focus to Moss. Moss saw the lightning-fast white figure charging at him and summoned a Guardian’s Shield, combining it with the shield in his hand. Then he placed the shields horizontally before him.

One of Moss’s shields shattered instantly, and the other shield had a long crack running through it. Moss didn’t intend to be careless as he praised, ‘That’s good.’

Then Moss leaped onto the tree. He wanted to lure the Explosive Wolf King away for his schoolmates. Then they would recover and support him.

The Explosive Wolf King focused on Moss, not letting Moss escape. Meanwhile, the other students at the valley entrance successfully dealt with the pack of Explosive Wolves. Then the students raced toward Moss.

Alan and Team Cullen finally recovered and entered the battle one after another. Moss’s confidence exponentially increased when he saw the others had joined the battle.

Moss shouted, “Remember to keep a safe distance from the boss! Be aware of the Explosive Wolf King’s Wolf Howl and Wolf Charge! We can kill it as long as we continue to pressure it!”

The surrounding students’ morale was at an all-time high when they heard Moss’s words, their bodies filled with strength and confidence.

Cullen was even more delighted when he saw the situation. Seeing that the rest had managed to encircle the Mystic Realm Boss, Cullen thought he would be the one to kill it, especially since he had already “killed” the boss once. He only needed to wait for the perfect opportunity.

But when the opportunity arose, Cullen realized that a level ten Magical Beast’s strength differed tremendously from a level eight Magical Beast.

Whenever his Imperial Sword looked like it would deal a fatal blow, the Mystic Realm Boss would skillfully dodge it.

Moss saw through Cullen’s problems. Cullen didn’t attack because he waited for the paralyzing potion to affect the Mystic Realm Boss fully.

Bailey saw Cullen’s Imperial Sword injure the Explosive Wolf King and shouted ecstatically, “That’s a hit!”

Then he noticed Cullen revealing an evil smile. Bailey was dazzled by Cullen’s performance with his Imperial Sword. He started hoping Cullen could kill the Mystic Realm Boss to emerge victoriously.

Moss knew that Alan’s tactics had worked when he saw that Cullen had injured the Explosive Wolf King. The wolf’s speed and agility decreased as its movements became heavier.

At that moment, Alan’s excited voice echoed in Moss’s ears, “It’s over, Moss! I’ve used four bottles of paralyzing potion. Even if the Explosive Wolf King doesn’t inhale all of it, it will be enough to slow it down!”

Moss nodded and leaped even higher. Then he summoned eight Guardian’s Shields and forcefully threw them toward the ground. The shields pierced into the ground and immediately trapped the Explosive Wolf King.

“Explosive Heavy Strike!” Moss’s sword formed a silver arc, bringing a brutal whistle as it slashed toward the target below.

At that moment, Cullen saw an opportunity to deal a fatal blow. He mustered all of his strength and unleashed a final strike. The others saw the Imperial Sword flying toward the Mystic Realm Boss.

Cullen saw his sword approaching the Mystic Realm Boss, and his eyes shone brightly. He couldn’t help but reveal a proud smile.

The Explosive Wolf King realized that it was in a desperate situation. Moss’s shields blocked its escape route while two strong attacks were in front.

The Explosive Wolf King became ruthless, seeing as there was no escape. It gathered all its strength and used its Sharp Fangs and Claws to attack.

Although the Explosive Wolf King had attacked in the right direction, successfully knocking Cullen’s Imperial Sword out of the way, it couldn’t withstand Moss’s attack that exerted four thousand kilograms of power.

The Explosive Wolf King’s claw split open, rendering it useless against the silver arc. Then the silver arc sliced through the wolf’s neck.

Crack!

The sound of a heavy object landing on the ground echoed. The others were stunned as the valley fell silent.

Seeing as the Mystic Realm Boss had lost its head, someone shouted, “The Mystic Realm Boss is dead!” The person’s voice echoed throughout the valley.

Everyone woke up from their shock and ran toward Moss. They lifted him like a hero and continuously threw him into the air, expressing their joy without restraint.

“We won!”

“Long Live Captain Moss!”

“It’s finally over!”

The students’ voices echoed through the valley.

At that moment, the dense clouds above the valley gradually dissipated as rays of sunlight shone onto the ground, eager to share in the joy of victory.

Then a notification on the control panel rang in Moss’s ear. He quickly opened the control panel and saw that he was now a level ten Guardian Knight. The smile on Moss’s face grew even more brilliant.
