Chapter 37: The First Boss Raid

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Ell heard Alan’s question, her expression suddenly changed, and an ugly look appeared in her eyes. She sighed and said, “Sigh, our party is not raiding the boss. To be more accurate, our party is only raiding a small part of the boss’ party.”

“A small part?”

Hearing Ell’s description, Alan was a little surprised. According to Ell’s words, many other people were raiding the boss of the Mystic Realm?

Alan continued to ask, “Why? Are there many people raiding the boss of the Mystic Realm together? Have you discussed this from the beginning?”

Ell shook her head and continued to explain. freewebnovel.(c)om

“That’s not true. Someone gathered us in the Mystic Realm. He brought us along to exterminate the monsters at very high efficiency, allowing us who were not particularly outstanding to have some gains. That’s why we have been following him. As far as I know, about one-third of the people before entering this valley were following him.

“But I didn’t expect that his ultimate goal was to defeat the boss of the Mystic Realm and failed in doing so...”

Ell revealed quite a lot of information. She had never heard of the idea of gathering more than half of the grade to attack the boss of the Mystic Realm together.

Alan said with his mouth agape, “The boss of the Mystic Realm is the strongest monster. At its level, the tactic of simply having a large number of people with low-level strength is no longer effective. Without a strong attack and defense, it is impossible to be defeated. Why would you think that you can defeat it with a group attack?”

A hint of annoyance flashed in Ell’s eyes.

“The previous group battle was too smooth. We could kill a Level-5 Explosive Wolf with so many of us working together. Everyone had the illusion that we were invincible.”

Moss interrupted Ell’s complaint. He did not care about the mental state of the other examinees after they failed the exam. After hearing Ell’s description, he had a question, which he threw out at this moment, “Ell, who is the person you said that gathered all of you together?”

Ell was in the mood to pour out her grievances. Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Moss. She could not help but feel a little annoyed and looked at Moss dissatisfied.

However, after all, the other party was the teammate of the person who had just saved his life. She did not care too much about this. After glancing at Moss, she replied with a calm expression, “The one who gathered us was Cullen.”

Upon hearing this news, the one who had the most significant reaction was Alan.

“Cullen? What exactly happened inside?”

Alan’s face revealed a look of disgust. There was even hostility on his face. It did not seem like he had heard the name of his classmate. Instead, it seemed like he had listened to the description of a Magical Beast.

Ell did not know why Alan would have such a reaction. She could not help but ask, “What’s wrong, Alan?”

Alan did not have any thoughts of protecting Cullen’s dirty deeds. He immediately told her about Cullen’s evil deeds when he heard Ell’s question. When she heard that, Ell opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

“It can’t be. How could Cullen dare to do such a thing?”

He was attacking his own kind, setting others up, abandoning his companions. Every single one of them was a serious matter that went against morals. Yet, Cullen had actually committed all three sins at once.

“No wonder.”

At this point, Ell muttered with an embarrassed expression.

Seeing that her expression was somewhat abnormal, Alan could not help but ask, “What’s wrong, Ell?”

Ell sighed and said, “Alan, do you want to know what exactly happened in the valley?”

Alan nodded. Then, he looked at Moss and added, “If possible, let’s make it brief. After all, this is still the place of the Mystic Realm Boss, and there are still a large number of Explosive Wolves wandering around.”

Ell knew that Alan was right, so she gave a summary.

“When we were attacking the boss, the strategy we discussed was that we, the feint parties, would first stall the boss, then deal a certain amount of damage to it. Cullen would then launch a fatal blow.

“In the beginning, there was no problem with the execution of this strategy. However, when Cullen launched his fatal blow, the problem began.”

Ell lowered her voice as if she recalled the battle she had just experienced.

“Cullen’s flying sword does not have enough attack power, and its speed is too slow. It cannot deal fatal damage to the Mystic Realm boss at all.”

Alan suddenly understood.

“Is this the reason why you were defeated? Because Cullen failed in killing the boss? So, your strategy failed?”

Ell shook her head.

“Not only that, Cullen forcefully ordered us to keep the boss occupied. I thought he wanted to use the method of grinding the boss to death, but now that I think about it, he probably just wanted us to be cannon fodder to keep the boss occupied. Then he would have a chance to kill the boss.

“His behavior angered the boss. Not long after starting this tactic, the boss sensed something was wrong and immediately called for reinforcements. When a large number of Explosive Wolves swarmed into the battlefield, we realized that Cullen had disappeared.”

After saying that, Ell could not help but gnash her teeth in anger.

They had all guessed that the Explosive Wolf had attacked Cullen because of his weak defense. So, he had disappeared in the middle of the battle. It wasn’t that no one had suspected that Cullen might have run away, but the situation was critical, so no one had time to think about it.

After hearing what happened to Moss and the others, Ell recalled all the uncomfortable things Cullen had said and done.

Although she didn’t dare to be 100% sure, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Cullen must have sensed that something was wrong, so he directly abandoned the team responsible for restraining and feigning attacks ran away alone.

“Phew...”

Alan let out a long breath and reached out to pat Ell’s shoulder to comfort her.

“Ell, don’t be so angry. We’ll report these things to the teacher after we go out. I believe they will handle it reasonably. We still have our own matters now.”

Ell raised her head in puzzlement and asked, “Your own matters?”

Alan did not answer. He looked at Moss.

“Moss, what do you say?”

Moss nodded. He held his sword and continued to walk deeper into the forest.

“Let’s go and farm low-level Magical Beasts to level up. When we’re strong enough, we’ll go and take care of the boss.”

The confidence and ease in his reply made Ell feel somewhat incredulous.
