Moss was hovering in the air as the corners of his lips curled into a smile when he saw the Ironclad Flame Tiger and Purple-gold Demonic Apes. He knew his chance to attack had arrived.
‘Now!’ Moss shouted inwardly.
He held his Red Flame Holy Sword and arranged four shields into cone-like shapes to protect himself. Then he rotated at high speed like a spinning top, diving downward like a red-tailed hawk.
Moss continuously stimulated his Holy Belief through his knight’s spirit as the dark red flame patterns on his sword seemed to have magma surging within them.
The audience members’ jaws almost hit the ground when they saw what Moss did. Some students who were the first to return to their senses began a heated discussion.
“He can do that?!”
“Moss’s attack looks familiar. Oh, it looks like a red-tailed hawk diving for food!”
“Senior Moss is a real genius!”
…
Moss’s attack amazed the teachers as they gave him high praise.
“Moss is targeting the Ironclad Flame Tiger!”
“That attack method is ingenious! He’s ignoring the Evil Rhinoceros and Purple-gold Demonic Apes’ formation even though they’re trying to attack him. Instead, he’s using their redirection to reduce their defensive formation significantly!”
“Moss is using the weight of his shields, high-speed rotation, and inertia of his dive to turn his shield into a perfect weapon that can simultaneously attack and defend. His understanding and application of shields are perfect!”
“I commend him for being so level-headed even though he is in a challenging situation.”
…
However, some students and teachers began to worry.
“Moss will undoubtedly put himself in a desperate situation if he misses his attack, especially since there are five boss-level apes after him.”
“Can he handle the apes’ terrifying strength and defenses?”
“Don’t forget about the Ironclad Flame Tiger in the middle!”
…
The apes noticed Moss’s strange actions and quickly turned to protect the tiger, trying to punch the human out of the sky. Their fists were so swift that the audience could feel their horrifying power through the screen.
Meanwhile, the rhinoceros turned around and formed an encirclement, surrounding the apes in the center while looking for a suitable opportunity to attack Moss.
Despite that, Moss did not dodge and continued spiraling downward, causing the audience to tense up.
“It’s almost showtime!”
“It’s a one-on-five! It looks like Moss needs to return to the drawing board with his plans!”
Some, familiar with the apes’ power, already started imagining Moss getting hit out of the sky.
Slam! Bang, clang!
The apes’ fists violently colliding with Moss’s rapidly rotating shields caused deafening sounds to echo throughout the test area. The scene the audience imagined would happen shattered into a million pieces.
“Huff, huff!”
The five apes bared their teeth and waved their hands in unison. They cried in pain as blood flowed down their wrists. The apes’ reaction greatly exceeded the audience’s expectations as the audience burst into an uproar.
“The five apes attacked simultaneously but were unable to stop Moss!”
“I can’t believe it! What an unreal scenario!”
…
“Indeed, it is shocking, but you should all look closer!” The teacher sitting beside the students had a solemn expression, and his eyes were full of shock. “It’s not a matter of strength. Moss had already cut the apes’ hands with his sword long before they could reach him!”
A wave of exclamations followed as soon as the teacher’s words sounded.
“How could he cut the apes’ hands when they have diamond-like skin and iron bones?!”
“How is that possible?!”
…
The Purple-gold Demonic Apes’ rough and thick skin was like a protective suit, which was why most knew them for their defenses.
However, Moss’s four-star Red Flame Holy Sword had surging magma around it when the apes launched their attack. His sword became lethal under Moss’s full power.
Fortunately, the Purple-gold Demonic Apes dodged in time. Otherwise, Moss would have entirely cut off their hands.
“Anything that rotates rapidly like that can cut anything in its path, even Moss’s shields!” A bespectacled teacher gently shook his head and continued with a reproachful tone, “Moreover, Moss’s sword is no ordinary weapon. Judging from the charring on the apes’ wounds,” the teacher pointed at the screen and explained, “The temperature on his sword is unbearably high.”
While the students and teachers spoke, the Ironclad Flame Tiger suddenly jumped upward.
Moss descended from the sky with a menacing aura from the dazzling light coming from his sword. It planted a seed of fear, rapidly growing, into the tiger’s heart.
The tiger thought of quickly escaping to counter the human’s attack. The tiger noticed the apes guarding it were still in their formation, so the tiger displayed its mighty prowess in this life and death situation.
It steadied its hind legs, pouncing toward the gap between two Purple-gold Demonic Apes. It burst with a powerful kick, and the tiger sped through the gap between the apes.
However, the red arc flashing with a dazzling light had slashed toward the pouncing tiger. Even if it ran fast enough, Moss left a long bloody scar on the tiger’s back left-wing and a part of its hind leg.
“Roar!”
The Ironclad Flame Tiger that sped through the two apes let out a heart-wrenching yelp.
The audience was again in an uproar as their cheers and chants rose and fell throughout the stands.
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter!”
“Moss is not afraid of anything!”
“It seems that being too serious is not always good.”
“I Guess Moss’s heart must be bursting with joy right now!”
“Look, the Ironclad Flame Tiger is going crazy!”
…
The grounded tiger flapped its left wing and roared ferociously at Moss hovering in the air. From how the tiger flapped its wing, Moss and the audience could tell that the injury it had experienced had a significant impact on it.
At that moment, the tiger knew it could only rely on its assisting beasts to launch a unified attack on Moss.
Still, the Ironclad Flame Tiger was afraid of getting hit again and no longer trusted the apes to help it. Instead, the tiger only trusted itself to deal with the human alone. The tiger was confident it could kill its opponent because it was at the top of the food chain.
Moss could not help but excitedly smile when he noticed the tiger had left its formation.
