Chapter 20 - The Swordmaster Who Was Surrounded

n

nIn Moss and Alan’s eyes, the situation of Cullen’s team was not good. Ten Explosive Wolves surrounded their six members. Two of the six were already injured.

n

nThe injured stood close to the center, while the three uninjured stood outside to resist the attacks of the wolves.

n

nMeanwhile, Cullen sat in the center of everyone with his eyes closed. The golden-red sword on his head would occasionally slash at the Explosive Wolves and attack them once.

n

nHowever, whether it was because the Explosive Wolves were too fast or Cullen’s control ability was too weak, the Explosive Wolves would always dodge the attacks. Even a few times, the sword was almost bitten by the Explosive Wolves and could not be retracted.

n

nIt seemed like there was no other combat class in Cullen’s team who was good at attacking besides himself.

n

nBut this was no surprise. Cullen was such a stubborn person, so how could he tolerate having other experts in his team who could steal his thunder?

n

nThis also caused their team to be in a stalemate.

n

nIf fewer wolves were surrounding them, they could at least take advantage of the number of people and break them one by one. If Cullen could control his flying sword better, they wouldn’t have been so lost and surrounded.

n

nUnfortunately, there were no ifs.

n

n“Brother Cullen, I can’t hold on any longer. Let’s finish off this wolf in front of me first!”

n

n“No, Brother Cullen, don’t you want to help me? I’m a support class. I’m not good at defense.”

n

n“Ahhhh!”

n

nAlong with the cry for help, a violent scream sounded. Cullen quickly turned back to look. Only then did he realize that one of the three people defending the outer perimeter had been bitten on the shoulder by the Explosive Wolves and was frantically swinging his arms.

n

nOn the other side, more Explosive Wolves were getting restless, as if they could not wait to pounce.

n

nCullen was also anxious when he saw the scene in front of him. As a Swordmaster, his defense was almost zero. At this stage, he could only use one flying sword. If the enemy got close to him, he would be finished.

n

nHe hurriedly instructed his flying sword to help the injured member.

n

nWhoosh!

n

nThe flying sword flashed past and pounced on the wolf that was biting. Unfortunately, the wolf had already been paying attention to the movement of the flying sword.

n

nWhen it noticed the sword pouncing over, it hurriedly dodged.

n

nThe person bitten by the wolf hurriedly retreated to deal with his wound. Another person who had already bandaged his wound came out to take the vacant position.

n

nNow, there were three injured people in the six-man team.

n

nCullen could not help but feel anxious. Looking at the wolf pack, he was annoyed. This was the first time in his life that he sensed danger.

n

n“This is different from the usual practice.” Cullen could not help but mutter to himself.

n

nHearing Cullen’s mutter, the five companions beside him were speechless.

n

nOf course, actual combat and practice were different. How could their captain not be able to distinguish this?

n

nHowever, they were all the students that Cullen had picked out from the application to form a team with him.

n

nAt this moment, their lives weren’t critically threatened yet. Therefore, even though Cullen’s mentality was not right, they did not say anything to remind him. They were still carrying out their work.

n

nMoss and Alan saw that Cullen was besieged not far from them. Alan said, “Moss, let’s go. Don’t bother about Cullen.”

n

nAlan said with a look of disgust as if the one being attacked was not his classmate but some annoying Magical Beast.

n

nIf he were another person, Moss would have gone to help them. However, Cullen kept finding trouble with him and Alan. There was no way Moss would help this time. Anyway, the test wouldn’t kill anyone, so it wasn’t wrong to let Cullen suffer.

n

nMaking up his mind, Moss and Alan set off to go around Cullen and continue moving forward.

n

nHowever, suddenly, one of the Explosive Wolves surrounding Cullen and the others twitched its nose, then turned its head with a vigilant look, looking in the direction where Moss and Alan were hiding.

n

n“Awoo!”

n

nA wolf howl was heard. Several of the Explosive Wolves turned their heads simultaneously and looked in the direction of Moss and Alan.

n

nCullen and his team naturally noticed the unusual movements of the wolf pack. They immediately realized that there were people in the direction where the wolf pack was headed.

n

nOne of the people in the team immediately shouted happily

n

n“Is anyone there?”

n

n“We need help. Can you lend us a hand?”

n

nHowever, no one walked out or responded.

n

nCullen’s expression gradually darkened, noticing that the other party was hesitant to help them.

n

nHe immediately called out personally, “Brother, listen up. I’m Cullen from Grade 2 Class 1. My awakened class is a Swordmaster. Please lend me a hand. I’ll repay you handsomely after this. Think this through. This test won’t kill anyone. Be a man and let me know who you are. It’ll be easier for us to meet in the future.”

n

nAfter Cullen said these words, he looked on with a hint of pride. In his opinion, there shouldn’t be anyone in the same grade who dared to offend a Swordmaster like him.

n

nAfter all, for a class like a Swordmaster, as long as he was given a year and a half to grow, he would be able far to surpass the average standards of the entire grade and become number one. Wasn’t offending him at this time just looking for trouble?

n

nHowever, what exceeded Cullen’s imagination was that the kind of person looking for trouble existed.

n

nThere was still no movement from the opposite side. Cullen’s face was completely dark now. He realized that the person on the opposite side had made up his mind, completely ignoring him.

n

n“Hmph!”

n

nCullen immediately snorted coldly, a cold glint flashing across his eyes.

n

n“Go!”

n

nWith a clear shout, he pointed his finger at the location in front of him. The golden-red sword instantly turned into a stream of fireflies as it flew.

n

n‘If you refuse to help, then don’t blame me!’ Cullen decided in his heart.

n

nAfter he had awakened his Swordmaster class, Cullen thought that he would have a smooth sailing adventure and be invincible in this world.

n

nWho would have thought that he would be surrounded by Magical Beasts after entering the Mystic Realm and be stuck between a rock and a hard place?

n

nHe could not do anything to the Explosive Wolves. He was already filled with anger, but he did not expect that there would be someone among his classmates who dared to reject his invitation.

n

nHe could not tolerate this anymore.

n

n‘You don’t want to save me? I insist on you saving me! I can’t do anything to the Magical Beast, but you think I can’t do anything to you?’

n

nWith that in mind, Cullen sped up his golden-red sword.
