Chapter 122: Miller’s Brother!

When Moss and Allen hugged and celebrated a few minutes ago, they heard two screams.

Then Baylon’s anxious and trembling voice came from behind, “You, how could you hit someone so casually?!”

Moss frowned and immediately turned around. He saw Moore and Kohler lying on the ground in pain. Moore and Kohler were angry as they glared at a stranger with a sword on his back.

Moss realized the stranger was pointing at him, his eyes rageful.

‘Why does this person look so much like Miller?’ Moss thought.

The stranger was slightly taller than Miller, with a slightly more muscular build.

‘Could he be?’

Before Moss could ask further, the stranger opened his mouth and said, “I am Seth Miller from Number Two High, third year, class one. I am Miller’s brother.”

“You severely wounded my brother, so I’m here to avenge him! If you’re a real man, you will accept my challenge!”

Alan was angry as he shouted at Seth, “Injuries are inevitable in a competition! It’s the annual school professional competition, not an underground boxing match! Why would Moss need to fight you?!”

Set Ignored Alan and stared at Moss with a face full of contempt and said mockingly, “What? Are you afraid? You don’t have the guts to fight me, do you?”

Seth noticed Moss hadn’t moved, so he smiled menacingly and said, “It’s okay if you don’t want to fight, but you must kneel and beg for mercy. I also want you to sincerely apologize to my brother before letting you off the hook.”

“We can’t fight him, Moss. He’s a third-year student. We’re obviously at a disadvantage. Also, he doesn’t dare to fight here casually. Someone will come and stop him,” Alan whispered to Moss.

Moss’s eyes glinted with a cold light, and his face was solemn as he said frigidly, “I can fight you, but if you lose, you must apologize to my teammates!”

Moss just heard Seth mention his name and had already determined Seth was at least level fourteen or fifteen.

However, Seth had beaten Moss’s teammates and challenged Moss. How could Moss back down? Nonetheless, Moss didn’t agree to Seth’s challenge on a whim.

Although Moss had just ended the match against the Super Whirlwinds, his fighting spirit was still present, and his Power of Faith was still active. Therefore, Moss dared to face Seth.

Seth laughed out loud when he heard Moss’s words, “Hahaha! You and what army? You’d better pray I don’t cripple you!” Seth pointed toward the center of the arena and said arrogantly, “I’ll wait for you there! You better not run away! Hmph!”

After that, Seth walked to the center of the arena.

“M-Moss!” Alan still tried to dissuade Moss from engaging, but Moss grabbed Alan and interrupted him.

Moss’s expression was firm, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile. Then he told Alan, “You and Baylond should take Moore and Kohler to the infirmary. I’m fine here. Trust me.”

Alan wanted to retort but gave up entirely when he saw Moss’s stern expression. He ran to Moore and Kohler, carrying them off the arena alongside Baylon.

Moss’s eyes became unusually cold as he watched Alan and the others leave. He walked straight to the center of the arena.

…

The audience in the paladin training grounds began discussing when they saw someone challenging Moss.

“Who is that guy? How did he get into the arena so quickly? Does he know we’re in the middle of a competition?!”

“Considering the situation, Moss has agreed to his opponent’s challenge.”

“How can Moss fight against an unknown opponent he’s never met?”

“Yeah, every participant had data and information about them in the competition. Can Moss fight as confidently as before?”

…

“I recognize that person. He’s Miller’s brother—a great swordsman, Seth Miller. He’s a senior at Number Two High!” Someone shouted from the audience.

Many of Moss’s fans started to worry when they heard that.

“A great swordsman from the senior year?”

“Isn’t that considered bullying?!”

“My idol, Moss, won’t get hurt, right?”

…

So what if that guy is a grade-three student? Moss is the future star! He’s the most capable participant in this year’s school professional competition! Where did all you guys’ confidence go?!”

“Yeah, who said a second-year student has to lose against a third-year student?”

“Exactly! Moss is going to win!”

“Go for it, Moss! We’ll always support you!”

…

The audience was conflicted at that moment. Some were worried, anxious, yet trusting toward Moss.

However, the more people cheered for Moss, the livelier it became in the paladin training grounds. Moss’s name reverberated throughout the stadium, finally reaching the arena.

…

Moss and Seth faced each other as an immense fighting spirit filled them. Then a moment later, Seth took the lead in attacking. Seth pulled out his black sword as tall as a person and charged toward Moss.

“Triple slash!”

Seth shouted. Three streaks of black light flashed, and his sword landed heavily on Moss’s shield.

Bang! Bang, bang!

A few long cracks appeared on Moss’s shield, almost shattering it. The resulting sword aura scraped against Moss’s shield and whooshed past.

‘What immense power!’ Moss was shocked and couldn’t help but praise inwardly.

Considering the cracks in Moss’s shield, Seth had unleashed at least ten thousand kilograms of force.

However, even a level fifteen great swordsman’s strength was only eighteen hundred kilograms. Even after using triple-slash twice, Seth should only do a maximum of seventy-two hundred kilograms of damage.

Moss sensed that Seth could exert over ten thousand kilograms of force and knew Seth possessed equipment that increased his strength.

But Moss was not worried because his Power of Faith was still there. Although it hadn’t reached its peak at 150%, it still provided a 100% bonus to Moss’s attributes.

That was enough for Moss because he could exert twelve thousand kilograms of force with the effect of his Power of Faith. Moreover, Moss also had the agility ring he received from Elroy.

Moss decided to meet the attack head-on at that thought. Moss knew he could only leave a profound impression on Seth if he defeated Seth.

“Thunderstrike!”

Moss raised his sword and slashed downward. As a silver arc and a black light met. Seth used his triple-slash again.

Clang!

Seth used his triple-slash, but Moss still pushed him back a few steps. Seth’s expression changed drastically. He wanted to use his triple-slash again, but it was on cooldown. He could only brace himself and rely on his base strength to raise his sword to block the silver arcs coming at him.

Seth, unable to use triple-slash, couldn’t contend with Moss’s thunderstrike.

Boom!

Moss smashed a five-meter wide crater with a half a meter depth into the ground where Seth was.

Seth was weak from the rebound force of Moss’s thunderstrike at that moment, and Moss’s Frost Knight Holy Sword had already sunk deep into Seth’s left shoulder.

Seth was in disbelief and looked at Moss blankly as Moss kept his darkened expression. Moss said, “Don’t forget to apologize to my teammates.” Then he turned around and exited the arena.

“Wow!”

Thunderous applause and discussions echoed throughout the arena, pushing the lively atmosphere to newer heights.

“Moss won!”

“A cross-level win?! I’m still flabbergasted!”

“As a fan of Moss, I’m ecstatic!”

“The knight left a great legend in the paladin training grounds with a complete victory record!”

“Moss is a God!”

Once again, Moss’s name reverberated throughout the paladin training grounds.
