332 Has Team Kyoto Gone Mad?

The two teams confronted each other for a full five minutes. Ultimately, Aerospace decided to make the first move. Their goal was also apparent: eliminating Kyoto’s three rookies, especially Moss.

That was because they feared Moss most and did not want him to use his hidden skills, even though they were curious about what he was hiding.

“Our plan remains the same. Our targets are Aerospace’s captain and co-captain!” Bishop quickly instructed through the team’s earpiece.

The earpiece allowed the team members to communicate at any time and look out for each other, which benefited the team’s overall strength.

!!
Moss appeared calm after receiving Bishop’s orders but was secretly happy when he saw Aerospace’s captain, co-captain, and second-year team members, attacking Kyoto’s last row where he was.

‘It seems I’ve left a deep impression on them from my last match. Still, I’ll leave a deeper impression after this!’

With those thoughts in mind, Moss casually summoned two shields before him, ready to cast Absolute Defense at any moment. Simultaneously, he whispered into his earpiece, “I’m ready, over.”

Upon hearing that, Lila and Nat, standing on Moss’s left and right, quickly retreated. They knew they could not win, so they could only lead Aerospace’s four second-year students away, leaving only Moss to fight against Aerospace’s captain and co-captain, Barry and Bard.

Meanwhile, Kyoto’s other members, Noel, Benedict, and Carolyn, did their best to resist the four people’s attacks. In the middle row, Bishop, Gavin, Gerard, and Charlie quickly turned around in shock, trying to rescue Moss.

Under such circumstances, Barry and Bard would never let go of such a great opportunity.

Although they felt that it was strange for the two people beside Moss to abandon him, such an action in the face of danger was a normal reaction for humans.

Therefore, they did not overthink it and launched a joint attack on Moss. That was their plan all along.

Even though Barry and Bard were not immediate family members, they were from the same big family, and the two specialized in the dark profession. One was a Dark Guard, and the other was a Dark Wizard.

The two worked well together because Barry and Bard had studied their combos and mastered them.

In the blink of an eye, their combined attack that effectively combined Dark Blessing, Light Vanquisher Slash, Despairing Dark Energy, and Dark Evil Energy, as well as their buff enhancement, instantly hit Moss.

The audience could not help but exclaim, “Ah!”

“How Ruthless! They defeat their enemy in one move!”

“Moss is doomed this time!”

…

The audience thought Moss would get blown away by Barry and Bard’s combo when a shocking scene happened. Not only did Moss remain still, but from his expression and physical condition, he did not seem to have gotten injured. Even his combat suit did not show signs of damage.

When this inconceivable scene occurred, the entire Shenlu Martial Arts Arena became silent. After about a second, it started to boil again.

Only then did the exclamations, cheers, and loud applause resound again. This time, it surpassed every shocking moment in the competition.

“That’s unbelievable. That’s a Dark Guard and Dark Wizard for you. They used Dark Blessing, Light Vanquisher, Despairing Dark Energy, Dark Evil Energy, and buffs!”

“Aren’t Moss’s defenses too terrifying? He didn’t move at all and didn’t seem to have any signs of injuries.”

“What happened? What did Moss do?”

…

The audience was still in awe at how Moss defended against Barry and Bard’s combo when even more shocking things happened one after the other.

In Kyoto’s middle row, Bishop, Gavin, Gerard, and Charlie, turned around to rescue Moss from Barry and Bard’s combo, fighting back in a panic. Perhaps it was because the four were flustered when they saw Bard and Barry’s barrage of powerful attacks.

Not only did the four members’ wave of defensive attacks fail to stop Barry and Bard’s attacks on Moss’s shield, but they also struck Moss by chance.

To be more precise, everyone’s attacks, including Moss’s teammates’ attacks, hit him.

“Whoa!”

“I-Isn’t that friendly fire?!”

“They must be confused. They’ve attacked their own teammate?!”

“Did Kyoto plan to sacrifice Moss to deal with Aerospace’s two main forces?!”

…

As the audience questioned what happened, Barry and Bard got blasted out of the ring with a deafening boom. Meanwhile, Moss was still standing as if nothing had happened. This unexpected scene instantly caused the entire arena to explode with questions.

“Did Barry and Bard just fly out of the ring? I can’t believe my eyes! Am I dreaming?”

“Aerospace lost two of their main forces so quickly?!”

“Why is Moss acting as if nothing has happened?!”

“He’s most likely suffering from internal injuries!”

“Internal injury, my a*s. Who can continue to fight with such vigor after getting internal injuries?”

…

The scene that had just happened shocked all the spectators in the arena, even every member of Aerospace’s team. They were dumbfounded as they had lost two of their most potent combatants.

On the one hand, Aerospace had lost Captain Barry and Co-captain Bard’s stage planning and command. On the other hand, they were utterly shocked by the sudden scene, causing them to become headless chickens without any tactics.

They had no choice but to defend against Kyoto without their leading men. Still, Aerospace was among the top ten institutes, so the team’s overall quality was commendable.

After a short period of confusion, they gradually regained their senses. However, Kyoto successfully separated the remaining two groups of people.

Bishop, Moss, and the other seven surrounded the four second-year students who had attacked Nat and Lila. Although Noel, Benedict, and Carolyn were short by one person, they were still confident in keeping the four busy.

Bishop noticed the situation was better than expected, so he ordered the counterattack through the team earpiece, “Moss, Charlie, Nat, Lila, Gavin, Gerald, work harder! Take down these four, and this match is over!”

Even if four of the seven members from Kyoto were first-year students and four of Aerospace’s members were second-year students, Aerospace would not stand a chance. After all, they had to face Bishop, Gavin, Moss, and the others.

Bishop had two-way buffs, Moss had Absolute Defense, and Gavin was a calm and composed Swordmaster. With just these three, the four second-year students from Aerospace did not stand a chance.

Immediately after Moss’s Absolute Defense cooled down, he used it again to cooperate with his teammates. They swiftly took down the four remaining students.

In just a few minutes, Kyoto had defeated six second-year students from Aerospace and caused the atmosphere in the arena to boil again, which was more intense than ever.
