Chapter 210: Moss Has Passed the First Test!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Moss had just killed 20 Explosive Wolves when 40 more emerged from the dense forest.

‘Will the number of wolves I kill multiply?’ With that thought, Moss could not help but feel shocked. ‘It seems that this wolf pack was likely a mistake.’

Most would think of focusing on the Iron-Back Demon Bear after dealing with the Explosive Wolf pack. However, it seemed that if Moss wanted to complete the first test, he had to kill the bear before the next wave of wolves arrived or kill the bear while dealing as minor damage as possible to the wolves.

After weighing his options, Moss knew he could control how many beasts he faced.

‘Perhaps this is the true terror of a level 10 hell difficulty test.’

With that thought, he killed another Explosive Wolf. Sure enough, two more wolves emerged from the jungle. He became even calmer after understanding his situation.

However, the Iron-Back Demon Bear became increasingly ferocious as more wolves appeared.

“Roar!” With a deafening roar, the bear strode toward Moss as the white-furred Explosive Wolf King activated its Wolf Howl.

Seeing the bear making its move, the wolves protected the bear and charged toward Moss.

“Holy Light Protection!”

Although the level 20 Explosive Wolf King’s Wolf Howl had a limited effect on Moss, he activated his holy light protection out of caution. He also wanted to see the effects of his upgraded skill.

Sure enough, Moss’s skill reduced Wolf Howl’s effectiveness by 10%.

“Stormstrike!”

......

Moss had maximized his speed under the effects of his Holy Belief, Holy Light Strengthening, and Knight’s Agility Ring. His figure flashed as he struck the Iron-Back Demon Bear.

As a formidable beast, the bear could sense the impending danger. However, it knew it could not dodge the human’s attack in time, so it used its back to defend itself.

Clang!

Moss’s sword collided with the bear’s iron back as it staggered and shook its body a few times. Then the bear became even more excited and attacked Moss in a frenzy.

Moss did not panic, but the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He had only used 50% of his strength to test the bear’s defenses, and what he discovered made him happy. Thus, Moss summoned a few more shields to build protective walls for himself.

He used his speed, agile movements, and protective walls to dodge the wolf pack and bear’s attacks while waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Iron-Back Demon Bear.

…

Moss did not shrink back due to the number of Explosive Wolves. Instead, he attacked the Iron-Back Demon Bear.

The audience was amazed by Moss’s performance in the level 10 hell difficulty test and gave Moss warm applause. They also praised him for his boldness.

“Moss is fearless! More than 40 Explosive Wolves and an Iron-Back Demon Bear attacked him in unison, but he dared to charge head-on. He is indeed an inspiration for chivalry.”

“His movements were so fast. I heard a loud sound before I even saw what had happened.”

“The bear’s iron back is sturdy, so I thought its attack would cause severe damage. What a pity.”

…

When the audience saw Moss launching a complex attack while zig-zagging through his protective walls, they started another round of ridicule.

“What is this?! Hide-and-seek?!”

“You’re in the college entrance exams, so the longer you spend in the tests, the more dangerous it gets!”

“Time is also a factor in his final score. What a fool!”

…

Hearing the audience’s ridicule, Donovan, the director of Black Dragon City’s Number Five High, said slowly, “Moss is not wasting time, nor is he deliberately hiding.”

Donovan noticed the people around him looking at him curiously, so he continued, “He must’ve figured out that the other beasts would multiply if he kills them.”

“Oh? So, you’re saying 40 more Explosive Wolves emerged because Moss killed the first 20?” A teacher beside Donovan asked curiously.

Donovan nodded and looked toward the screen once again.

After listening to Donovan’s explanation, the surrounding audience members finally understood Moss’s actions.

“So, Moss discovered this issue early on.”

“Yeah, look at White Deer City’s Number Three High. Their student also chose a level 10 hard difficulty test. They first faced a small number of wolves, but there are more than Moss’s side now.”

…

The audience was comparing the different tests when someone shouted, “Look! Moss has mobilized!”

Everyone heard the shout and turned their attention to Moss’s screen again. They saw Moss summoning a few more shields, turning the initial protective walls into a U-shaped barrier.

At that moment, the Iron-Back Demon Bear entered the barrier as Moss appeared before it. He summoned three more shields and threw them on either side of the bear behind him.

Then Moss waved a foggy silver arc toward the bear, but the bear did not dodge. Instead, it was about to extend its left paw to meet Moss’s attack.

However, the bear felt something strange about the silver arc covered in an icy mist. When Moss’s sword approached its body, the bear quickly used its back to block it.

Clang!

Suddenly, the Iron-Back Demon Bear fell as its ice-covered body sunk deep into the ground. The bear had become stiff, like a statue.

Following that, a line of words in red font appeared on the screen, “Congratulations, Examinee Moss. You have completed the first test. After a short rest, you may enter the spatial rift in front of you to start the second test!”

At the same time, the Explosive Wolves in the Mystic Realm disappeared. The audience was thoroughly excited at such a scene.

“Compared to Moss’s first attack, his second move had an additional layer of icy mist.”

“That was the ice-sealing effect from his two-star Frost Knight Holy Sword.”

“What imposing strength!”

Many noticed the special effects on Moss’s sword.

“He killed the Iron-Back Demon Bear with one strike!”

“How formidable is he?!”

“The average damage an Iron-Back Demon Bear can take is around 15 tons of force! Considering Moss’s attack, he must’ve struck the bear with at least 20 to 25 tons of force! It is indeed impressive for a knight to exert that much strength. How can a knight strike with such force?!”

Sitting beside Michaels, a teacher from an unknown school was analyzing Moss’s performance while falling into confusion. This teacher had underestimated the test’s setting.

The bear’s iron back defenses were around 22 tons, 1.5 times that of an ordinary Iron-Back Demon Bear. Moss’s Stormstrike was only 1,500 kilograms of force, but with his buffs, Moss struck with 45 tons of force.

‘That was an abnormal amount of force, even if Moss stimulated his potential. However, with such formidable strength, he could have used other methods to kill the bear. It’s not wise to waste strength like that.’

Although Michaels sighed inwardly at how potent Moss’s potential was, he did not have high hopes for Moss, even though his expression softened a bit. However, he did not soften because his anger had subsided but because he had experienced too many college entrance exams.

He knew that the hell difficulty tests not only evaluated one’s combat ability, and intelligence, but also one’s stamina and endurance.

Even the most outstanding professionals might get exhausted due to overuse of stamina and magic power when faced with ten Magical Beasts of such levels.

Still, Moss did not spare any effort. It was likely he would end the exam without experiencing the whole thing.

…

Meanwhile, the BT006 members were also watching the students’ performance. They could not help but exclaim in admiration when they saw it was Moss who was the first to take their second test.

“That kid performed perfectly!”
