Twenty minutes later, the entire team had regrouped at the location of the game capsule.“What did you find out?” Alec inquired of Agnes, who was the last to arrive, but she shook her head, indicating that, like the rest of the team, she found the city deserted, seemingly leaving them as the only ones present.With no answers to be found in the city, their only option now lay with the game.“I guess we have no choice but to play the game,” Alec concluded as he approached the capsule, noting that even the options on the capsule seemed sophisticated.He placed his hand on the fingerprint scanner, and options appeared before him:Team RacingSolo RacingWithout hesitation, Alec selected ‘Team Racing.’ The system then prompted him to specify the number of members in his team, and he chose eleven.A neon light enveloped him and his teammates, and they vanished into the capsule.–[Welcome to the Race of Death][Pick and create your Monster vehicle, You have only 15 minutes to complete
Even if he was told that he would still see something as civilised as this, there is no way that Alec would believe that he, who had entered a unique cultivation world, would ever have the chance to see, let alone drive, something that functioned like a car.As the countdown commenced, Alec wasted no time. He slammed his foot down on the accelerator pedal, propelling the truck forward with tremendous momentum as he navigated the rocky terrain.“Yes!” his team members cheered, thrilled by the unexpected lead and the sheer excitement of watching Alec drive.Alec was in the lead when he suddenly felt a jolt from behind; another vehicle had rammed into his truck. He noticed his speed dropping, and just ahead was a sharp turn. Gripping the steering wheel, he attempted to drift, but a massive red monster truck emblazoned with flames on its side collided with him, sending him careening off course.As he struggled to regain control, another vehicle took advantage of the situation, drivi
The car in the sixth position was forced to reverse after clearing the ice obstructing their truck’s tires. They had lost momentum, and attempting to drive off the cliff in that state would be nothing short of suicidal, so they have to start building momentum all over again.Meanwhile, Alec’s truck finally landed on the other side of the racetrack. He shifted the gear and accelerated, noticing an indicator map displayed by the panel attached to his right eye, showing that he was close to the fifth position truck, that he was determined to catch up to.To Alec, everything felt like a car race game, not only were the cars equipped with attacking fixtures, but he could also see a map displaying his position and those ahead of him in red lights. He knew he was just a few hundred meters away from reaching the fifth position truck, and he could now see truck behind.As they came into sight of the fifth position, Alec noticed mages at the back holding orbs filled with mana, wearing evi
“Arthur , waste the rest of your bullets on that truck,” Alec urgently called out, determined to attack before the mage driver in the other car could reload and unleash the devastating ice sword attack once more and this time on them. Having witnessed the destructive power of the attack, Alec didn’t want to rely solely on his team’s battle abilities to evade it. Plus, trying to evade such an attack while driving in reverse made him feel extremely uneasy. Arthur : “¬” “Err, Alec, I don’t think I’ll be able to sustain the attack for long, I’m low on Mana too!” Arthur complained, frustrated by his limitations as a Tier 2 Mage. The guns and weapons attached to the truck are able to unleashed attacks that rivaled those of Tier 3 Mages . But by infusing more Mana into them, they could potentially even reach Tier 4 power levels, and given Arthur’s awareness of this, it was no surprise that he would deplete his Mana quickly. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Pale forcefully gra
“That’s because someone couldn’t help shouting, ‘I’m the third Elder of the Gordons clan,’” the patriarch rebuked his brother. He criticized him sternly, although deep down, he missed him dearly and had been terrified when he lay on his deathbed, and there were even plans to eliminate many in order to follow him in the afterlife.However, at present, all he wanted was to reinforce the number one rule of their clan in his brother’s head and hope that this time he would listen and not attempt to show off again.“Sorry about that, I was just a little carried away,” the third Elder responded with a weak smile, realizing he had no valid argument. In that moment, he had indeed shouted without thinking, driven by the desire for others to realize that the Gordons clan should not be underestimated. As despite being attacked and besieged by two Tier 8 mages, many believed he would not rise again.Yet, not only did he prove the doubters wrong by recovering, but he emerged even stronger than be
“We have to find a way to involve them in the blood moon wars somehow!” Alistair exclaimed, but his father the city lord shook his head in disagreement.“With the sheer number of Tier 7 members in their clan now, even if they no longer feel the need to deploy mages for every blood moon event we won’t be able to do a thing, it’s a privilege kind of thing that is given to strong clans a city, however, if the space gates of our city reaches a higher rank situation, then they would be compelled to fight as well,” The city lord explained with a weak smile. As he was at a loss as to how to handle the Gordons clan situation.“So, what do we do now?” Alistair asked, a hint of desperation in his voice. “Well, first and foremost, we need to focus on helping you break through to the Tier 7 Mage Realm, this would narrow the power gap between us and them,” the city lord suggested.Alistair gasped in surprise, never anticipating that his father would offer assistance in his journey towards the ne
The moment Alec pressed the button, everyone in the car was jolted backward as the car's speed exceeded their expectations. In an instant, Alec disappeared from the view of the red truck.Making the driver slammed his hand against the steering wheel in frustration , but no matter how much he complained and cursed, he knew couldn't catch up to Alec anymore after all he had also engaged the boost from the red button to catch up with them already, his only shot had been to take both of them out before they escaped.Alec only used the button because he realized he was nearing the end of the race, and with only two cars ahead of him, he knew it was time to activate the boost as he didn't want to fall behind in the top three.Although he hadn't achieved the first place he had hoped for, but securing a spot in the top three was enough to keep his team safe from the game's restrictions as they searched for information about the Chronomancer.However, as he raced at full speed toward the fini
“So typical of the academy,” Alec muttered as he joined his team. “Always giving us outdated information and forcing us to deal with the consequences of their mistakes.”The female mage, realizing that nobody was focused on her, swiftly got into her truck, accelerated and secured her position as the third position, desperate to escape the chaos, she vanished along with the rest of her team as she had finally passed the Race of Death.However, the Chronomancer showed no interest in them, his attention fixated on Alec and his companions, but his look changed when he noticed the student badge peeking out from Arthur’s waist.“Once again, the War God Mage Academy sends its little mages to me,” the Chronomancer scoffed. “I can’t believe these fools, are struggling to produce a worthy successor for their younger generations and till yet they send more to die here, well, since you’re all from the War God Mage Academy, you can forget about being trapped in a time freeze, as I’ll be killi
