Chapter 94: We Won Again! Number Two High Is Nervous

After a long day of waiting, the final thirty-two elimination round of the individual Player Kill competition was finally about to begin.

The organizing committee reduced the initial sixteen arenas down to four to increase the exposure of each match. The screen was also divided into four windows, showing the four arenas.

The screen replayed footage of the previous exciting scenes in slow motion as a highlight reel. At that time, the spherical drones reported the schedule for today’s competition.

“The morning portion of the individual Player Kill competition will occur in the upper half of Zone A1, A2, B1, and B2. The afternoon portion will occur in the lower half of those four zones. Each contestant can call a drone or get information on their scheduled fights through their ID cards.”

While the drones announced the competition schedule, the one hundred and twenty-eight eliminated participants followed the drones to their pre-selected viewing area.

The loud drums stopped, and Davis introduced the thirty-two participants in the knockout round with his attractive voice.

Each time Davis introduced a contestant, the screen would replay that person’s outstanding performance in their previous match and the team Mystic Realm Competition. The audience would burst into enthusiastic applause and thunderous cheers as the screen flashed.

When Davis announced the final contestant, Miller, the audience pushed their cheers and chants to greater heights, lasting minutes.

Davis emphasized that Miller’s match would be the first to start at Arena Three. When the dozen or so drums stopped, the knockout round of the individual Player Kill competition officially began.

The school viewing area, the audience seats, and the VIP viewing area became lively when the competition began.

“Miller forced his opponent into a corner with his flying swords!”

“Mill’s fireball skill has improved again!”

“Wow! Will’s crossbow skills are amazing, and his swordsmanship is commendable too!”

“Alan is agile for his size. He used his paralyzing potions so well! It looks like Team Moss has some pretty capable members.”

Although Miller’s match received the most attention, Mill, Will, and Alan’s battles were exhilarating. They also received a lot of support and attention from the audience.

However, Moss was most concerned about Alan and Mill’s matches. Since Mill was more substantial than her opponent, Moss worried less about her. However, Alan’s opponent was an Assembler who was proficient in manufacturing and assembling various weapons.

It was as if the Assembler was carrying a large sack on his back, constantly pulling out strange weapons from seemingly out of nowhere. Then the Assembler launched his attack on Alan.

“That’s not good! Alan is going to get hit by an arrow!”

“Although Alan’s forward dodge roll is awkward, he chose the right path!”

“Watch out, Alan!”

Whenever someone shouted something similar, Moss wouldn’t feel anything. But when he heard a shout containing all sorts of emotions, his heart couldn’t help but tighten.

Although Alan looked embarrassed in his battle and encountered a lot of troubles, he always dodged his opponent’s attacks in time. Then, when Alan’s paralyzing potion took effect, he took the initiative to launch a counterattack.

As Moss expected, Alan finally beat his opponent and entered the top sixteen. But at the same time, Moss was worried for Alan because his next opponent would be Miller, who had easily won his battle.

Buzz!

The bracelet on Moss’s hand vibrated, and he knew it was time for his match. Moss had to finish his match before comforting Alan.

Moss flew to Arena 3 and was about to enter when he came across Miller, who was leaving the arena. When Moss saw Miller staring at him with murderous intent, he felt Miller’s strength and dominance.

However, Moss remained calm. His eyes shone when he looked at Miller, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura. Then he calmly walked past Miller.

The two only glanced at each other, but it was as if they had experienced a short battle. It was a battle of spirit and momentum.

After that, Moss stood in the arena, becoming increasingly calm and confident. He looked at the steel armor-clad Great Swordsman, Pell, holding a massive sword and realized it was no different from looking at an ordinary person. No matter who stood before Moss, he was confident and knew that he could defeat them.

Pell stood opposite Moss and noticed no fluctuations in his eyes. Pell was puzzled because he could accurately judge people through their eyes. Pell could see the mental state of his opponents. But at that moment, he failed. He didn’t see what he wanted in Moss’s eyes.

Pell might’ve been afraid if it were in the past, but now, he had a two-star gravity ring that increased his strength by 40% while possessing a 20% paralysis status effect.

Pell also wore a two-star agility ring that increased his speed by 30% while containing a 15% dizzying status effect. The increased agility from the ring would make up for the Great Swordsman’s lack of speed.

“Triple Slash!”

With a loud shout, Pell took the initiative to attack Moss.

After reading the information, Moss knew that Pell’s ultimate skill was triple slash, doubling Pell’s strength. Moreover, the sword would produce colossal damage, affecting a wide area whenever Pell swung his massive sword. Since Pell was a level ten Great Swordsman, his strength could exert one thousand to one thousand two hundred kilograms of force.

Moss dared not summon a shield. Instead, he went forward to meet it.

Slam!

The massive sword and protective shield collided, producing a shock wave. The two were stunned by the impact.

Pell was shocked that Moss could withstand his Triple Slash, gravity ring, and agility ring. Moss felt no numbness or dizziness.

The gravity ring boosted Triple Slash’s power by 40%, exerting at least six thousand kilograms of power. However, it only created a long crack on Moss’s shield.

Meanwhile, Moss was shocked that Pell’s Triple Slash could create a deep crack in his shield.

‘Pell exerted almost six thousand five hundred kilograms of force. Still, a level ten Great Swordsman had one thousand two hundred kilograms of force. Even if Pell quadrupled his power, it would only reach four thousand eight hundred kilograms.’

Moss thought it impossible that Pell could exert six thousand kilograms of force. He couldn’t help but admire Pell’s extraordinary strength. But when he saw Pell wearing two rings, he finally understood what had happened.

However, Moss also discovered that if he used Thunderstrike now, he would only exert five thousand five hundred kilograms of force, which wasn’t enough to compete with Pell’s Triple Slash.

Nonetheless, Moss refused to retreat. He raised his two-star Frost Knight Holy Sword and Shield of Faith to meet Pell.

Clang!

The two swords met.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Pell forced Moss backward by three steps. The sword in Moss’s hand vibrated.

Clan!

The two swords met again.

Bang! Bang!

Pell forced Moss backward by two more steps.

Pell noticed Moss’s slightly trembling hands and knew that the paralysis status effect had finally affected Moss. He laughed out loud.

When the two swords collided for the third time, Moss barely moved. The two contestants were in a stalemate.

However, after three minutes, when Moss’s Power of Faith increased his attack power by 30%, Moss stopped using his shield and started to fight Pell with just his sword.

“Thunderstrike!”

Moss’s two-star Frost Knight Holy Sword drew a silver arc, slashing toward Pell’s massive sword with a brutal whistle. Then something shocking happened.

Pell was the one who backpaddled by several steps in succession. Before Pell could figure out what had happened, Moss crazily continued his onslaught, forcing Pell to retreat repeatedly.

Moss once again shouted Thunderstrike and slashed his sword at Pell’s massive sword. A crescent moon-shaped light knocked Pell’s massive sword out of his hands as he fell out of bounds.

The audience exploded in chants and cheers before Pell could land on the ground. The audience expressed their disbelief.

“Is the Moss stimulated by the Knight’s will to protect? He’s the strongest Knight I’ve ever seen!”

“That Knight grows stronger as he fights. He made the Great Swordsman despair!”

Number Five High’s director, who was in the VIP viewing area, was even more shocked. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and his jaw almost hit the ground. He exclaimed in surprise, “Impossible! That is absolutely impossible!

Although Taylor’s expression didn’t change on the surface, it was easy to tell from his frightened eyes that he was starting to get extremely nervous.
