Chapter 106 - The First Team Competition

The exciting Player Kill competition had finally begun. The four teams competing that morning had already stepped into the forty-meter wide fiery red arena at White Deer Giant Stadium’s center.

The other teams that had yet to participate sat in the viewing area, waiting for the competition to begin.

The first eight matches in Zone A would occur that morning. Team Moss, which had drawn lot number two, would make their debut in the first round of the competition.

As soon as they reached the center of the arena, Alan put his arm around Moss’s shoulder. He was nervous as he smiled awkwardly. Then he said worriedly, “Moss, I think I ate too many beans this morning. Why is my stomach hurting? The competition is about to start, and I…”

Moss raised his thick eyebrows, took a deep breath, and calmly said, “Don’t make a fuss, Alan. Try not to show it, or you will soon become their primary target.”

Moss called Moore and the other three team members over. Everyone huddled together as Moss whispered something to his team members. As the earth-shaking drum beat ended, the four matches in the middle of the stadium began simultaneously.

Team Moss and the Ice Team’s match was the most intense of the four, so they received the most attention. Moss and the others wore traditional red tight-fitting clothes that day, looking like a spirited and mighty dance troupe.

Meanwhile, the Ice team wore white high-collar tight-fitting clothes with white gloves. They looked domineering with their determined eyes.

“Everyone, be careful. The teachers were right. This team has attribute rings on their hands! The entire team must have received a full upgrade! When we meet later, don’t hesitate when you encounter danger. Get behind me or my shield.”

“Moore, maintain your long-range attacks while paying attention to the archers on the other side. Kohler, you should closely observe the situation of the other team members. Find a weak point to attack whenever you have the chance, and cooperate with me to protect Alan.”

“Baylon, I want you to cooperate with me. Alan, follow me. We should attack with your potions while I cover you with my shields.”

Moss made some final arrangements before the battle began.

“All right!” Moss’s teammates shouted in unison with solemn expressions.

Suddenly, the Ice Team attacked Moss simultaneously. Moss relaxed when he saw the other team focus their fire on him. He quickly summoned two shields and put them in front of him.

When the shields appeared, five members of the Ice Team, except for the archer, attacked Moss ferociously. But the four switched their attack formation and turned to attack Moss’s teammates.

Moss was shocked. Then he understood the other team’s intent. Team Ice wanted to eliminate Moss’s teammates before dealing with him together. It was indeed an excellent plan.

Moss’s teammates noticed the sudden change in their opponents’ strategy, so they moved behind Moss. However, Alan’s stomach felt uncomfortable, which affected his movements, so Kohler covered Alan, and the two fell behind.

“Team Ice’s captain, Tris, has summoned an earth wall to block Alan and Kohler! The swordmaster, great swordsman, and alchemist from team Ice are attacking as planned. Such amazing coordination!” A special guest commentator of the organizing committee, Edward, announced.

“Team Ice’s battle tactics are incredible! If that lightning strike connects, Moss will be isolated and helpless!”

The audience expected Team Ice’s lighting strike to connect, but two shields appeared before Alan and Kohler. Then Moss instantly shot over, piercing the earth wall with his sword. He helped Alan to join Moor and Baylon with Kohler’s help. Moss even skillfully set up a few shields behind them as they moved.

“Wow! Moss had no regard for his safety and saved his entire team! There wouldn’t be much suspense left if Moss lost his two teammates. Moss’s sense of protection astounds me. I can see the chivalrous spirit within him!”

Edward commented excitedly as the atmosphere in the stadium became even more lively as cheers and chants echoed.

The audience members who supported Team Moss were initially disappointed that the match would end so quickly, but they became excited again when Moss saved his teammates.

“Let’s go, Team Moss! You’re the best!”

“Sob, sob. I told you Team Moss wouldn’t get eliminated so quickly!”

“That was so thrilling that my heart almost stopped beating.”

The audience members who cared about Team Moss took the opportunity to vent their suppressed emotions.

…

Meanwhile, Team Moss had finally reunited.

“Pay attention, everyone. Team Ice should have noticed that Alan isn’t feeling well. We can’t delay this match for too long!”

“Baylon, Kohler, we’ll attack the alchemist together. Then Baylon and I will turn around to attack Captain Tris while Kohler takes advantage of the chaos to attack the archers.”

“Moore, you and Alan should use the sword rain to cover us under the shield formation I constructed. Alan will then use a paralyzing gas to set up a perimeter in front of the shields. I will use more shields to lead Team Ice into the paralyzing gas.”

“Move out!”

Team Moss sprung into action.

Captain Tris was overjoyed when he saw Team Moss splitting up. He immediately ordered all his teammates to lock onto Moss, Moore, and Baylon.

However, Moss’s speed and agility were insanely high. Although Moore and Baylon were slightly inferior, with Moss’s cleverly set up shields as an obstacle and Moore’s sword rain as cover, Team Ice had a tough time chasing after them.

Due to the short distance, the attribute rings that Team Ice wore could not deal any effective damage to Moss and the other two, making Team Ice even more impatient.

The audience felt that Team Moss dared not face Team Ice head-on and thought they were tired of running away. Many audience members became bored and turned their attention to the other three matches.

A moment later, Team Ice’s alchemist thought something was off and wanted to warn his teammates, but Moss suddenly charged forward.

“Thunderstrike!”

Moss shouted and instantly shot a silver arc toward the alchemist. At the same time, Baylon summoned water around the alchemist.

The silver arc streaked past as the water surrounding the alchemist formed two ice walls, completely cutting off the alchemist from his team.

Clang!

The alchemist’s weapon flew as he fell to the ground, unconscious. Moss and Baylon instantly turned to attack Tris, while Kohler took advantage of the chaos to attack the opposing archers.

Moss, Baylon, and Kohler were within range of Team Ice’s attribute equipment, affecting their speed and making them feel a paralyzing effect. However, Team Ice wasn’t doing much better since they had inhaled the paralyzing gas Alan had set up.

Moreover, Team Ice panicked and lost their train of thought when their alchemist got taken out, allowing Moss and the other two to attack.

Moss and Baylon worked together to injure Tris, while Kohler successfully launched a sneak attack on the archers. The situation changed instantly.

Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Edward’s voice rang out in disbelief, “Wow! Did Team Moss turn the tables on Team Ice?! What a pity!”
