Chapter 118: So It Was Them!

The finals arrived as scheduled the following morning. Colorful flags fluttered in the wind as gongs and drums echoed through the air rhythmically.

Several fans of Miller and the Super Whirlwinds played their theme song to cheer them on, but the fans of Team Moss dared not do that. They only put up banners with endearing words.

Meanwhile, the media outlets had already prepared a draft headline for when the Super Whirlwinds ultimately won the team Player Kill competition. The media waited for the referee to announce the Super Whirlwinds as winners so they could post their headlines as soon as possible.

To increase viewership and show the audience a better understanding of the competition, the organizing committee invited Weston and Eli from the National Professional Alliance, famous experts, and analysts.

The organizing committee also invited White Deer City’s leaders,               famous people from all walks of life, and influential families.

After Davis introduced the esteemed guests and participating teams, the finals of the team Player Kill competition began.

Team Moss wore black suits, while the Super Whirlwinds wore golden-red suits symbolizing their nobility and magnificence.

There was a picture of a trophy on the Super Whirlwinds’ chests. They were confident they could win the team Player Kill competition.

“Team Moss and the Super Whirlwinds are in the same formation they used in the semi-finals. It looks like both sides are rather cautious of each other.”

Edward’s analysis echoed right from the start of the finals. One could tell Edward was excited yet nervous from his slightly trembling voice.

“The Super Whirlwinds are indeed a top-tier team. They are as calm and steady as ever, even when faced with Team Moss,” a well-known analyst, Thomas, said sternly. The Super Whirlwinds were cautious, which surprised him.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. Still, the Super Whirlwinds took the initiative to attack.

“The Super Whirlwinds are ridiculously experienced. They intend on suppressing Team Moss from afar and move cautiously. The Super Whirlwinds will deal a fatal blow to Team Moss when they enter White’s Mysterious Domain.”

“The Super Whirlwinds boasts formidable long-range capabilities. The swordmaster, Miller, holy alchemist, Deng Lun, and crossbow master, Will, can attack from afar.”

“If Team Moss doesn’t take action now and enter White’s Mysterious Domain, they will be in serious trouble. We can’t forget about Deng Lun’s red poison gas. Team Moss will have a hard time escaping if they get caught.”

The guest analysts in the commentary booth pointed out crucial information as the audience responded with thunderous applause, cheers, and chants.

Meanwhile, as Team Moss was about to enter White’s Mysterious Domain, numerous icicles shot out like bullets from Team Moss’s defenses.

The Super Whirlwinds didn’t expect the sudden turn of events.

“Team Moss is so skillful!”

The Super Whirlwinds sensed impending danger, so they bit down on the Demon God Pill in their mouths.

Then a black shadow flew from Team Moss’s defenses, burrowing through the green and red gas, and charged toward Miller. The black shadow’s speed was astonishing, even though it went through White’s Mysterious Domain.

The black shadow arrived before Miller instantly and shot three flashes of light on Miller’s left, right, and back.

Miller hurriedly hurled two flying swords toward the three flashes of light while one of the swords shot toward the black shadow. However, Miller’s swords were too light to block the three shields’ trajectory and Moss’s two-star Frost Knight Holy Sword.

“Thunderstrike!”

Moss shouted, and a crystal clear cold light alongside an icy mist streaked across the arena. Moss’s sword, which exerted six thousand kilograms of force, collided with Miller’s.

Clang!

Miller’s sword left his hand as Moss’s Frost Knight Holy Sword sunk into Miller’s left shoulder.

“Ah!”

Blood spurted from Miller’s left shoulder and splashed onto Moss’s shield. Then Miller fell to the ground.

The other members of the Super Whirlwinds realized something was off. They wanted to advance to surround the person in black, but the person used his extreme speed to retreat into Team Moss’s defenses.

The experts and analysts in the commentary booth were dumbfounded when they saw what happened.

“What?! Miller got knocked down?!”

“That’s unbelievable! Was Moss the person with that insane speed?!”

“Who else could it be? Even the assassin from Team Moss didn’t have such movement speed.”

“What just happened?!”

The audience members in the paladin training grounds were shocked when they saw what happened in the arena. Many could not help but question the scene before them.

“I-Is it over?!”

“How is that possible?!”

“Miller just fell instantly!”

“Did Team Moss defeat the Super Whirlwinds?!”

Several audience members were in a daze from the shock when the sound of war drums from White Deer High’s viewing area echoed throughout the paladin training grounds.

Following that, the audience came back to their senses. Moss’s fans immediately led the crowd to cheer Moss’s name according to the drums’ rhythm. Moss’s name resounded toward the arena.

Meanwhile, the Super Whirlwinds were unwilling to accept defeat, still struggling bitterly against Team Moss. The Super Whirlwinds gave it their all but ultimately lost without their strongest, Miller.

The members of the Super Whirlwinds were confused and unwilling when the referee announced Team Moss’s victory. Still, the Super Whirlwinds had to accept their first defeat since their team’s founding.

The Super Whirlwinds did not want to give up and placed all their hopes on Miller to exact their revenge. However, Miller was still unconscious while his teammates felt conflicted.

At that moment, Davis spoke again, “Ladies and gentlemen, after the organizing committee carefully tallied the scores, they have finally given us the results of the team Mystic Realm competition!”

Upon hearing that, the audience immediately quieted down and focused their attention on the envelope in Davis’s hand.

Davis carefully opened the envelope and couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the results on the card, “W-What?!”

The audience revealed expectant expressions considering Davis’s exclamation.

“The team that took first place in the team Mystic Realm competition is Team Moss, while second place goes to the Super Whirlwinds!”

“In addition, I regrettably announce Miller is unable to participate in the continuation of the team Player Kill competition due to severe injuries.”

Everyone was once again shocked at the sound of the results. They could not believe their ears.

“W-What?! So, Team Moss were the ones to watch?”

“That’s insane!”

“There’s no longer a need to compete in the individual Player Kill competition now that Miller can’t participate. Does that mean Moss won all three competitions and is the undisputed recipient of the Future Star award?”

The audience members found the results hard to believe, while the directors in the VIP viewing area were shocked.

“How is that possible?!” Taylor shouted as he sat in his chair and darted his eyes around.

“Didn’t Team Moss receive the toughest missions in the team Mystic Realm competition?!” Fabian let out a rare shout.

“That’s not real, right?! Have they been hiding their strength all this while?!” Nash patted his head repeatedly, finding it difficult to accept the scene before him.

…

Meanwhile, in the corner of the paladin training grounds, someone shot a terrifying murderous gaze toward Moss.
