Chapter 54: The Boss of the Mystical Realm Is Still in the Valley!

The principal witnessed the scene and became teary-eyed. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes while lifting her glasses.

Even if Moss and the others had yet to defeat the Mystic Realm Boss, the first attempt at educational reform was successful.

The principal was proud of her students’ performance, but she revealed a shocked expression when she looked at the comprehensive data panel. Then she looked at Miss Aisha, who cried tears of joy.

…

Meanwhile, in the Mystic Realm’s dense forest near the valley entrance, the students celebrated the joy of defeating the pack of Explosive Wolves. Alan, Ell, and the others threw Moss into the air as they cheered.

Suddenly, someone asked with a trembling voice, “I have a question. Where is the Mystic Realm Boss?”

Everyone quickly stopped celebrating when they heard that question. Several students looked into the deep forest that rustled, and a chill ran down their spines.

Everyone realized that they were still in the valley while the Mystic Realm Boss was still alive.

Cullen said, “Stay alert, everyone. We’re still in a dangerous place. You need to be prepared for a fight at any moment.”

Cullen glanced at Moss, who stood with Alan and hesitated before saying, “Moss, I’m going to raid the Mystic Realm Boss. Do you want to join me?” Cullen was up to something when he invited Moss to raid the Mystic Realm Boss.

He witnessed Moss’s strength throughout his battles, especially when he killed the level seven pack leader. Cullen knew that Moss’s courage and battle knowledge weren’t accidental. Moreover, Moss and Alan possessed almost flawless teamwork.

If such a person were to raid the Mystic Realm Boss, there would be higher chances of succeeding.

Although the two were at level eight, and Cullen was confident in his ability to upstage Moss with his Imperial Sword, Cullen still feared the Magical Beast. Cullen’s plans would be futile if he failed to finish the boss, and Moss took advantage of the situation.

Cullen thought he could keep an eye on Moss if he joined them in their raid. He knew that his Imperial Sword was better at surprise attacks, and as long as he grasped the situation well, he could be the one who dealt the final blow to the Mystic Realm Boss.

When Cullen finished speaking, he looked at Moss devoutly. Moss looked back at Cullen and knew he was up to no good. Moss was well aware of what Cullen was planning.

But considering the Mystic Realm was dangerous, and he had never conquered a Mystic Realm Boss before, Moss understood his predicament. Moreover, the Mystic Realm was going through abnormal changes.

Moss knew that sticking with everyone else would lessen the risks of dying. Nonetheless, he trusted in his ability to kill the Mystic Realm Boss before Cullen.

However, relying on numbers alone wasn’t enough to kill a Mystic Realm Boss. Previously, when the outer perimeter changed, it was because the Mystic Realm Boss had called a large number of Explosive Wolves. In the end, the students failed to defeat the Mystic Realm Boss.

The only way to defeat the boss was to deal a fatal blow. At the thought of this, Moss looked at Cullen and realized that the others stared at him expectantly. He opened his mouth and promised Cullen that he would join his raid.

Suddenly, Alan pulled Moss’s arm and whispered, “Moss, we can’t trust Cullen. We need to be wary of his schemes.”

Moss only smiled at Alan and patted his shoulder silently. Then he looked at Cullen and calmly said, “We’ll join you. But my team makes their own decisions.”

Cullen was thrilled when he heard that Moss had agreed to join him. He feigned calmness and nodded at Moss. Then he turned to Bailey and ordered, “Bailey, take some people with you and strengthen the area’s border. The rest of you stay here. I want to discuss our strategy for defeating the Mystic Realm Boss.”

Moss, Alan, and Ell saw everyone gathering around Cullen, so they followed suit. Cullen cleared his throat, revealing a sense of accomplishment on his face. Then he confidently spoke, “We could’ve killed the boss when we attacked it last time. But our attack failed when the pack of Explosive Wolves appeared.”

“Nonetheless, we’ve defeated the pack after injuring the boss. It can’t recover in such a short time. The boss hadn’t attacked us just now since it must’ve gone somewhere to recuperate. All we need to do is find it. We can beat it as long as we work together.”

Bailey stood guard on the sidelines and made sure to compliment Cullen. He said, “Captain Cullen is amazing as always.”

Then a tall and thin boy wearing glasses raised his hand and asked with a stern expression, “Captain Cullen, that white-furred Magical Beast’s Wolf Howl is mighty. It knocked out a few of our teammates when it used that skill. How are we going to deal with Wolf Howl this time?”

Cullen was stunned as his face turned pale. He didn’t know the answer to the boy’s question. Previously, when the Mystic Realm Boss used Wolf Howl, Cullen had already run away. Although he was affected by that skill, he didn’t faint.

Moss noticed that Cullen was at a loss for words. Although Moss hadn’t felt the boss’s Wolf Howl up close, he had experienced dizziness when he faced a level seven pack leader’s Wolf Howl.

Moss took his experience into account and said, “Wolf Howl is a powerful skill that Explosive Wolves learn when they reach a certain level. It will cause temporary dizziness to those who hear it. The higher the wolf’s level, the stronger the skill will be.”

“According to my experience, Wolf Howl’s effect is related to distance and direction. The closer you are to the user, the greater the effect. When the boss uses Wolf Howl, I advise you all to try and avoid standing directly in front of it. Make sure you keep a certain distance from the boss.”

After hearing that, the tall and thin boy with glasses looked at Moss with admiration. The others then nodded at Moss when they heard his explanation.

Cullen also realized something and echoed, “Yes, distance is vital. Everyone should maintain a safe distance from the Mystic Realm Boss. I will use my Imperial sword and attack it from a distance when the time is right.”

Everyone discussed their plans fervently when they heard a violent howl echo through the air, shaking the entire valley.

“Awoo!”

The students couldn’t help but look in the howl’s direction as it echoed from deep in the valley. Everyone shivered uncontrollably.
