Chapter 72: The Origin of Trust

Meanwhile, at the two-star Mystic Realm’s entrance, one team from Number Two, Three, Five, Seven, Nine, and Ten High, and two teams from White Deer High, entered. They walked toward the mission distribution desk.

The Super Whirlwind team and Youth Force team were also among them. There was a wide-open space around the distribution desk, with eight Spatial Rifts evenly spread out. Ancient and mysterious plants covered the Spatial Rifts.

There seemed to be powerful and mysterious energy fluctuating through the opened doors—forty competitors who had gone to accept a mission gathered before the relatively open distribution desk, crowding the area.

When Team Moss and Team Mill entered, they saw a group surrounding the Super Whirlwind team, discussing something.

“Moss, look. The contestants are collaborating with the Super Whirlwind team,” Alan pinched his chubby chin disdainfully as he whispered in Moss’s ear.

Moss looked at the proud members of the Super Whirlwind team and said faintly, “That’s a normal thing to do, Alan. If one encountered a strong opponent, they would approach them and exchange knowledge. One would even worship the stronger opponent. We just have to do our best and not worry about them.”

“Tsk…” Alan clicked his tongue and continued to follow Moss to the distribution desk.

When the other teams saw the two White Deer High representatives approaching, they whispered, “The two teams from White Deer High are here. Their luck is terrible because they drew the two-star Mystic Realm.”

“It seems like even God doesn’t want the Knight to participate in this competition. I bet they will get eliminated in less than an hour.”

“You’re giving them an hour? You think too highly of the Knight. They’ll die and get teleported out of this Realm in less than half an hour.”

While everyone had heated discussions, the manager of the two-star Mystic Realm appeared.

“Welcome to the two-star Mystic Realm. Please stay in line and come to my desk to receive your mission. After that, you may enter through the designated Spatial Rift. The time will start when you step into the rift. There are varying difficulties across the eight missions. I wish you all good luck!”

They needed to complete their mission quickly, but since Team Moss was the last to receive their mission, they didn’t have a choice but to wait.

Alan couldn’t wait to open the mission tablet when Team Moss arrived at a quiet corner. The five team members noticed the black label on the upper right corner of the tablet.

Although Team Moss didn’t know what it meant, they couldn’t help but gasp when they saw what was on it.

“First order mission: Kill 2 level 7 Red Flame White Tigers, 10 level 7 Terror Monitor Lizards, and 50 level 8 Explosive Wolves.”

“Time limit: None.”

“Spatial Rift: Number 8.”

“The shorter it takes to complete the mission, the higher the points!”

“You can receive a tier 2 mission upon completing this current mission.”

When Alan saw the mission, he pouted and said with a shocked expression, “What?! Is this a joke? A level seven Red Flame White Tiger is as strong as a level fourteen Explosive Wolf, and a level seven Terror Monitor Lizard is comparable to a level ten-and-a-half Explosive Wolf.”

“Yeah, in the previous two-star Mystic Realm, we only tried killing a level ten to twelve Explosive Wolf. This mission is too difficult for us as of now.”

“Moreover, Moss is a Knight. The Red Flame White Tiger’s fire attribute attacks will deal more damage to you. It’ll be difficult for us to go in without you, and when the time comes, we won’t be able to withdraw and assist you.”

“That’s right. Since the Red Flame White Tiger has an attribute attack, we can’t deal with it even if we join forces.”

“I suggest we go and change to a different mission.”

Three of Moss’s teammates spoke in unison. Although they didn’t explicitly say they doubted Moss, he understood what they meant.

Moss’s teammates felt that Moss was weak and that he would drag them down. They didn’t want to cooperate with him.

However, Moss didn’t say anything since he believed in using his strength to prove himself. He turned and walked toward the number eight Spatial Rift and entered without hesitation, arriving at the mission area.

Alan gathered his thoughts when he saw Moss enter the Spatial Rift. “We’re a team, you guys. We should live and die together. How can we let our teammate face this mission alone?” Alan ran into the Spatial Rift.

Baylon and the other two members of Team Moss noticed that the timer had already started, signaling the start of the mission. They could only brace themselves and enter the Spatial Rift.

When the three entered the spatial rift and arrived at the mission area, a notification sounded on their tablets.

“A level seven White Tiger has been killed. There is still one remaining.”

Baylon and the other two’s hair stood on end when the notification stopped. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at the mission tablet and exclaimed, “Captain Moss!”

Alan, who had been looking for Moss, heard them shouting Moss’s name and quickly ran over. He was also shocked to see the notification on the tablet. He also widened his eyes in disbelief.

Moss was lucky to have killed a level seven Red Flame Tiger so quickly. He saw a Red Flame White Tiger hunting down a wild boar when entering the mission area.

Previously, Moss used his exploration badge and discovered that it was a level seven Magical Beast before him. While the Red Flamed White Tiger enjoyed its food, Moss grabbed his two-star Frost Knight Holy Sword from his back and used Thunderstrike to attack the Red Flame White Tiger.

Moss drew an arc of cold mist with his sword, slicing through the tiger’s body. The Red Flame White Tiger never expected a human to attack it so brazenly, especially in its territory.

The tiger felt a chill coming and knew it was too late to dodge. It was about to launch a final attack and perish alongside Moss, but he didn’t give the tiger the chance to react.

Moss released his Shield of Faith to block, increasing his strength on his right hand simultaneously. He sank his sword into the tiger’s body.

Although the Red Flame White Tiger used its Scarlet Flame skill, Moss had already weakened it. The tiger could only use twenty percent of its power. However, Moss’s red ring that he received from Miss Aisha and Power of Fate had offset the tiger’s attack.

Despite that, no one witnessed Moss’s series of graceful movements. Since Moss was a Knight, almost no one would pay attention to him. The screen showing Team Moss was the least popular, so he received less exposure.

Although the audience didn’t care for Team Moss, his teammates had already developed a strong trust in him. Moss’s absolute strength was the source of their trust.
