The difference was that one streak of golden light shot straight into the sky, while the other streak of silver light followed the ground, covering a thousand meters in an instant.
But this was, after all, a road through the mountain forest. Even with a properly constructed highway, the winding route was many times longer than the straight-line distance.
However, taking the straight-line route was extremely difficult. This was a forest, after all, and the path was filled with obstacles and rough terrain, which greatly reduced their speed.
Pietro was no Leo. Leo could rely entirely on his physical fitness to smash straight through, fearing nothing that blocked his way.
But Pietro could not do that. Even though his body had been enhanced many times over when his ability was activated, the enhancement was still limited.
Even though he had broken through the Human Limit under these conditions, that was still all he could do.
As for Leo in the air, he naturally faced no obstacles at all and could travel in a straight line.
He could even see the destination directly from high above. If Leo wished, he could appear at the finish line in the very next instant.
But Leo would not end this interesting contest so meaninglessly. Instead, he brought the three people behind him high into the air and observed the silver line rapidly moving across the ground.
Interestingly, even though Leo's speed was now almost holding steady at five hundred meters per second, it was not particularly conspicuous or shocking from high in the air.
He could merely follow closely behind the silver line on the ground.
Within Leo's Golden Light Domain, there was no wind or rain at all. The powerful air pressure originally produced by their extreme speed acted upon the outer Golden
