Chapter 4175: Race II



Rip!

A long sword appeared in my hand, and I swung it. Ripping through the large lightning bolt.

I looked at others and saw others dealing with the attacks as well.

The attacks will come, and their power will depend on how fast one is moving.

I looked at the palm, and there was a numeric one.

It depends on one's score and what type of lotus one gets. The one with the greatest score. The one with the greatest score gets the best lotus.

One gets the score by dealing with the attacks and finishing the race fastest.

Only one person gets the score from finishing the race. The first one, the rest will have to be satisfied with getting the score from the attacks.

Killing the others didn't give one

A moment passed, and immediately, all twelve of us moved fast.

Every second, one of the attacks came, but the pace of the attack would be increased after it reached a certain level, and it had reached a certain level.

In the same way, the power of the attacks would increase the more distance we cross.

However, the increase in the power would depend on the highest speed one has moved. It didn't matter if one had slowed down after.

So, one would need to be very careful in deciding when to increase the speed.

As we increased the speed. The attacks came.

Rip!

Seeing the ice lance in front of me. I swung my sword, cutting through the ice lance.

I didn't even get a moment before a big fireball came and cut through that.

I tore through one attack after another as I took steps toward my destination.

I am dealing with the attacks, only with a third of my focus. The rest is on the people around me. I need to keep track of their every move.

To win this challenge, I wouldn't just need the power, but also the brain.

The attacks kept coming when the thing happened. What I had expected to happen had happened.

A woman not far ahead of me, had increased her speed. She did it for a fraction of a second and did it in a very sneaky way, but since everyone was watching, they caught it.

Including me and we all increased our speed, just as she did.

Immediately, the power of the attack increased because it doubled.

We might have increased the speed only for a fraction of a second, but the speed was double what we are running at right now.

I defended the attacks while keeping my eyes on others.

I need to be aware of the slightest movement they make because even a slight increase in the power of the attack will increase their score.

To do that, I have taken the help of my two clones.

The second check is nearly finished. Even with two leaving, it will take less than an hour for my inheritance to be finished.

I have become a lot more assured of two clones. Now, I am more certain, that nothing will slip my eyes.

Most importantly, I had asked the two to find a way to increase my speed unnoticeably.

I got the answer in a few minutes after analyzing how the soul sense of twelve others is tracking my movement.

I saw their plan and implemented it.

From outside. It felt like nothing had changed. Even with the attack, it seemed like nothing had changed, but it did.

A few seconds later, I once again increased my speed for a fraction of a second. Did it again a few seconds later.

I did it nine times before stopping.

It should be unnoticeable, as I do not want the immediate benefits, but the accumulative one, which I will do after dealing with more and more attacks coming at me.

Three and a half minutes passed when Shaman faintly increased his speed.

He was sneaky, as only three among the twelve caught it, but just as we did. We all increased our speed by the same and for the same time.

The eight caught that and did the same.

Shaman looked around with a smile on his face. Though, the smile isn't a happy smile.

There is a threat in it, and I become more cautious. The bastard is powerful. While he won't be able to kill in a single move, he could slow me down.

I have to show him that it will be as costly to him as it would be to me.

So, I flashed him a big radiant smile as he looked at me.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

His smile froze for a moment, but his smile was radiant as well. Though there is no warmth, it promises to kill me. He hid it well, but I could see it.

Time passed and soon every minute someone began to increase the speed, and we all

matched.

We increased it at the same time he did. Calculating the advantage, they would have had,

doing it, a moment early.

Everybody is smart here and can do these calculations instantly.

The attacks got stronger with it.

Like right now, there are three earth nails coming at me. They are just palm-sized and don't

look sharp enough, but contain massive power.

I have to deal with them without reducing my speed.

Changing speed wouldn't affect the attack, but it will make others move forward. I do not want to give up the distance.

I need to have enough distance between us. that I would be able to catch with them, in a fraction of seconds, the moment we let go of everything.

That will happen when we get closer to the finish line.

This faint edge wouldn't give me the top lotus. If I did not come first. Which I do.

The breakthrough is going to be hard for me and the best lotus will help me a lot with that. Though, there is one doubt in my heart, whether it will let me make the breakthrough at all.

It is for Sky Sovereigns breaking through the prime.

While I am an Earth Sovereign breaking through the Sky Sovereign. I quickly pushed the thought away; I did not want to think about it until I got the lotus.
