Chapter 144: Space Mapping!
"It's going to be thirty minutes soon," Erix said as he, Rin, and Melissa sat on a huge tree's branch with leaves as their roof.
They've also filled up their Chaos Gadgets with one-time use skills of control and defense, with only one containing an attack skill.
"We don't need to rush for this batch of golden statues," Melissa said as she weaved a wisp of darkness around her finger. "Many people will rush for this batch, and it'll become chaotic, but if we get a beam of light near us, we'll go for it."
"What is the rule about Golden Wings? As far as I understood, It meant that once we acquire Golden Wings after destroying a statue, we won't be able to use our normal flying means. Is that correct?" Erix voiced out his concern.
"Yep," Melissa nodded.
"We'll need at least one or two golden statues in this batch then," Rin said, her brows furrowed. "We have to be included in the first two batches and reach the checkpoint."
"It won't be so easy when they fight against each other and face obstacles during the race, which will be chaotic and random," Melissa chuckled.
"Moreover, there will be additional random occurrence at any time, so whatever you read in the description of second checkpoint race is not absolute."
"This is why this event is called Chaos Race," Melissa added. "Chaotic things happen during the race."
At that, the last minute finally passed, and everyone saw fifty thick beams of light shooting up in the sky.
The nearest one to the trio was a kilometer away, and it was thick enough to cover 500 meters of area, which meant that it wouldn't be that easy to find the hidden statue.
"Let's go," Melissa said as she conjured a pair of strange black wood wings covered by a dark aura and vanished from her spot before appearing in a tree's shadow two hundred meters away.
'Shadow? So her darkness affinity includes abilities of shadows...' Erix said.
'No wonder she was confident of escaping from us,' Rin nodded.
Both of them also flew behind Melissa and rushed towards the pillar of light that was dissipating each second.
Just as they neared the spot, they already sensed four presences closing towards the same location.
The three of them disappeared and appeared five kilometers away as Erix teleported at the maximum distance despite costing more mana.
"There!" Rin pointed to a mountain one kilometer away where they could sense several auras.
Erix teleported again after mapping the area of five kilometers before him and choosing to teleport inside the mountain.
"I'll call this combination of using Spirit Sense and Space Vision... Space Mapping!" Erix grinned as he stretched his hand, which vanished into space for a second before he grabbed another golden statue.
*BOOM!*
Suddenly, the three of them sensed something and, immediately after that, felt a massive impact as a powerful explosion broke the mountain wall before them.
"No wonder I was sensing some presence here, you..."
The one who entered was a level 200 powerhouse, Lex Blake.
"Bye-bye," Melissa chuckled and waved her hand before the three of them vanished as Erix teleported again.
Erix and Rin saw Lex throwing his fist, but Erix was already wrapping them in Space Matter before the mountain wall broke and disappeared.
*BOOM!*
A mighty black demonic fist with red flames materialized and shot from Lex's fist at the spot where Erix and others previously stood, destroying a huge chunk of the mountain. Lex growled angrily before quickly leaving as well, not willing to waste time and going to another spot to fight for a golden statue if possible.
'I'll get you, fuckers. Just wait!'
...
On the other hand, Erix, Rin, and Melissa went to another spot, but Erix found none there as someone had already taken it.
Five minutes passed, and they arrived at a safe place with a total of four golden statues.
