Chapter 100: The Exciting Quarter-Finals!

The exciting quarter-finals were about to begin, and as usual, Davis introduced the participants who had entered the top eight of the individual Player Kill competition.

Footage of the top eight participants’ previous matches flashed on the screen. The audience cheered and chanted as Davis announced the participants’ names.

Then Mill and Voss entered the forty-meter arena at the stadium’s center. The sound of earth-shaking drums ended, and the match began.

The screen flashed, and the audience started to discuss.

“Oh? We can see the battle from the participant’s perspective!” A bald audience member pointed at the screen and shouted excitedly!

The rest of the audience then noticed the changes on the screen. They saw two viewing angles appear on the right half of the screen. One was the participant’s perspective, and the other was a third-person perspective.

The organizing committee wanted to allow the audience to experience the intense match between the participants by adding spherical drones. The drones could send better images at close range and multiple angles, resulting in a more realistic view of the fights in the arena.

“I feel like I’m in the arena!”

“That’s awesome! It looks much better than the previous matches! They should have done this earlier!”

“You’re exaggerating. The organizing committee has done this in the past, but only for this segment.”

The audience cheered even louder when they saw the new battle perspectives, pushing the lively atmosphere to greater heights. The audience’s cheers and chants seemed to have infected the participants as they started to fight more fiercely, creating a white-hot passionate battle.

“That’s not good! Voss has forced Mill to the edge of the arena!”

“No, that can’t be!”

“My Goddess!”

A wave of exclamations came from the audience stands.

Class eight’s teacher’s heart was in her throat. She couldn’t help but shout, “Hold on, Mill!”

She furrowed her eyebrows as her face turned pale. All she could think of was Mill. But no matter how much she cheered, Voss forced Mill out of the arena with his Lighting Strike.

“N-No! Senior Mill lost! What a pity.”

“Voss’s Lightning Strike isn’t an ordinary skill. It seems to possess a paralyzing effect. An ordinary Lightning Strike wouldn’t have much of a paralyzing effect.”

“Mill would’ve had a chance if she didn’t get struck by Voss’s attack.”

White Deer High’s students analyzed the match while feeling sad about Mill’s defeat. At the same time, they placed their last hope of advancing into the semifinals on Moss.

…

After watching two more matches, Moss heard Davis introducing the final contestant. He stood up and walked toward the arena at the stadium’s center.

Moss noticed that White had arrived in the arena as he arrived. White’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at Moss.

White immediately launched an attack when the tenth drumbeat stopped. As White moved, a mysterious red and blue formation continuously flashed on the ground with a ten-meter radius with White as the center.

Moss didn’t notice a change in White’s battle style. He didn’t expect White to be so proactive and eager.

At the same time, Moss also discovered that White’s movement speed and explosive power increased by one level compared to his previous match.

‘White has new equipment too?! Does he want to end the battle quickly by using his equipment advantage? He’s planning to overwhelm me.’

Moss had guessed White’s battle intent through his unorthodox fighting style. Moss quickly moved away.

Moss didn’t want to face White head-on because he saw White’s ring and necklace. He knew that those items were two-star equipment with attribute properties.

Moss knew there must be a ring with paralyzing attributes on White’s person through his experience with Mitchell. Moreover, the attribute properties were of high percentages.

Moss only had a ring that reduced White’s attribute properties by 20%. Since the effects of Moss’s Power of Faith had yet to take effect, he couldn’t entirely offset White’s attribute properties. Therefore, Moss chose to play it safe before he launched an attack.

White brought along an item that would grant him a 50% paralyzing status effect. Meanwhile, White’s mysterious red and blue formation could slow down Moss’s speed and reduce his damage output.

If Moss didn’t play it safe, White would corner him.

As Moss became more defensive, White switched to a guerilla tactic. He assumed that Moss was stalling, so he immediately charged at Moss.

‘He’s so fast! This isn’t even White’s full strength?’

Moss couldn’t help but feel shocked when he saw White accelerate toward him. He quickly summoned multiple shields and inserted them into the ground, creating an obstacle for White, who was chasing after him.

…

The audience was greatly puzzled by the drastic changes in White and Moss’s fighting styles. They began a heated discussion as the two fought.

“That’s strange. Moss and White’s fighting styles are completely different from before!”

“White has been on a rampage from the start of the match, which is entirely different from his previous matches. Did he find Moss’s weakness? Does White plan on using his speed to end the battle quickly?!”

“I wouldn’t have noticed that if you didn’t mention it. White is indeed fighting strangely.”

“Moss is fighting abnormally too. I thought he prefers a more violent battle!”

“Yeah, Moss was more daring against the Berserker and Great Swordsman in his previous matches. How come he’s more defensive now?”

“Moss is using his shields so creatively!”

“W-What? How can Moss summon so many shields at once?! Am I hallucinating?”

…

The screen flashed, and when White Deer High’s teachers and students saw Moss fall into White’s red and blue formation, they broke out in cold sweat.

“Oh no! Senior Moss has fallen into White’s formation!”

“There’s no way for Moss to escape since White’s formation has slowed him down!”

“Is Senior Moss going to lose?”

Most audience members felt that it was only a matter of time before Moss lost the match. The audience members who cheered for Moss fell into a dead silence.

…

Meanwhile, the directors of each school revealed differing expressions in the VIP viewing area. White Deer High’s director was stunned, revealing an unusually grave expression.

The director previously emphasized to Na’er, the teachers, and Moss that this competition would be for training purposes. He wanted Moss to save his energy for the upcoming team Player Kill competition instead.

The director witnessed Moss’s performance initially and thought Moss had taken his advice, but Moss persisted despite being in trouble. The director was puzzled.

‘Moss is in grave danger, so why isn’t he admitting defeat?’

If the director weren’t in the VIP viewing area, he would’ve run to the referee and immediately thrown in the towel to prevent Moss from getting injured.

At that moment, the president of the National Professional Alliance revealed a solemn expression as his eyes were filled with regret.

“Sigh!” He sighed deeply and had some words to say, but he kept quiet.

In contrast, Taylor’s eyes were shining as he was overjoyed. He felt that victory was already in his hands. Seeing as Moss, the thorn in his side was about to be removed, Taylor smiled menacingly. He would’ve laughed aloud if he weren’t in the VIP viewing area.

The other directors beside Taylor were also in high spirits. Each of them was already thinking of a compliment to give Taylor.
