Chapter 1604 A Hectic Run
I knew just racing that dude using nothing but my normal speed would fail. He came prepared, was the leader of the entire enemy forces. And that meant he must have lots of ways to increase his own speed.
I stopped, started activating my sacrifices. I just increased my speed and my artefact's speed. And the next thing I experienced was a scary increase in my overall speed.
It was like I got my chariot back! I kept pushing forward, flying towards the horizon, until I finally arrived at the end of my green zone.
All that lay up front was an endless ocean of enemies, filling both the ground and air.
"Time to start the show," I didn't even lower my speed when I arrived there. Till now I couldn't see where that jerk was. He just shouted hours ago, and went radio silent since then.
For sure he was racing the wind to arrive at me. But that idiot didn't know he perfectly fell into my trap!
The moment I stepped out of the green zone, I instantly got welcomed with tons of highly aggressive enemies.
The entire situation was already on fire. And I knew that without my chariot, no one would be able to guess who I was.
I didn't think about using such a way to trick that bastard and get rid of him. For a reason, it felt like he had a clear vision of me using anything, even artefact was possible.
So trying to trick him wouldn't do. And the only way I had was to simply try to trick him using another method.
"Time to stretch my muscles for a bit," I didn't even think about using any of my signature moves. I didn't take out my pillar, or even summoned any formidable army of warriors.
All I did was to take my dragon glaive out, wave it around, and started fighting head on with the enemies.
One hit, one kill. One wave, and the enemies around would get either chopped into two halves or got sent flying to the ground.
I didn't just boost my flying speed, I boosted my entire speed. And that meant moving the glaive around came with a high speed, one that made my glaive leave lots of afterimages while I kept flying forward.
The enemies roared, shouted, screamed, but nothing worked. No matter what they tried, be it directly surrounding me with their huge numbers, or try to even submerge me with their deadly attacks; nothing worked!
In fact, the more they did that, the more I laughed. I didn't need to worry about anything right now thanks to my weird feather shield. It could sustain the damage of my pillar's shields' brutal wave attacks. So it was expected how it stopped these.
My speed didn't get lowered no matter how hard they tried. They even tried to fly directly at my face, detonate themselves using some sort of grenades or something, but they failed.
With such a strong and sturdy shield, passing through all these attacks was nothing for me. And in the end, they got to stop such suicidal attempts.
Yet they never stopped trying. The hardest enemies I fought so far were those damn armoured worms. They appeared all of sudden, out of nowhere.
The area they appeared at looked as if it turned out to be filled with colossal thorns, huge spears that appeared from the ground and flew high to the air.
If not for my insane speed, I'd have ended up stopping in my tracks and fighting these damn worms.
Just stopping meant the end for me. I already wasted two hours in my sacrifices, and I was trying to make up for the lost hours.
These worms were indeed quite scary, but luckily for me, the enemy didn't have many of them. They had to return to using normal fiends and flying suited troops to stop me.
They couldn't use their insane amount of forces at the ground. After all, I was flying at high altitude. They had to use their flying forces to get me, and that limited their abilities greatly.
Yet they really got lots of flying forces. I even saw new creatures, ones that looked like giant eagles with feathers that were made entirely out of fire. I even saw birds with dragon scales and tails like dragons.
Despite feeling the urge to use my technique and subdue these new races, I didn't. I didn't want to waste anymore second, I wanted to keep pressuring that idiot and force him to travel as fast as he could to catch me.
"Hahahaha! Don't even try! You are still within my grasp!" After half a day of doing so, I tried to use my second Earth portal function without succeeding.
And in return for that, I heard that damn bastard's voice coming from behind. Just locating his general direction made me realise he already passed the grand gathering of my forces, and was now travelling inside his armies.
Unlike me, he got to just fly forward and all the forces around would part ways for him. They'd even accompany him in a great gathering, heading towards me.
And that meant the place that dude was had lots of enemies than other places around. So I waited patiently for the next refreshment of my map, and there I spotted where this dude was.
"Not bad," I muttered when I noticed the distance between me and him. It wasn't that big, but not that short, at least a hundred miles at least.
This wasn't a big distance actually, considering that I could cross them in less than ten minutes with my current speed. And if he had used artefacts to up his speed, it meant he was flying at least on the same level of speed as mine.
The next few refreshments proved to me that he was flying a bit faster. Or was it the effect of facing all these enemies and crashing through them? Did they slow me down a little? I couldn't tell.
