Volume Two: The Northern Realm's Race Against Death-Chapter 112: Slope Sprint

"As expected, she wouldn't be Emilia if she didn't steal the spotlight at a time like this. She speeds up, so I speed up too!"

"But the steep slope is already within sight!"

"I have my own plans. You all hold on tight and fasten your seatbelts!"

The flat land stretching out in the field of vision suddenly abruptly ends a few hundred meters ahead, as if sliced horizontally, and a steep slope with a considerable gradient appears in view. If the speed is too high, there is a high possibility that one could fly directly off the top of the slope and cause a disaster. The safest way to pass safely is to slow down in time.

Clearly, neither Ally nor Emilia had any intention of slowing down.

"Get mentally prepared! 3-2-1--Spray!!!"

For a moment, I thought I had turned into a meat paste stuck to the back of the chair.

Sirius accelerated suddenly without warning, yet I hadn't seen Ally step on the pedal or shift gears beforehand! Some incredibly strong thrust appeared out of nowhere, propelling the race car forward! 220 mph, 260 mph, 300 mph, the gauges were already full, but the speed was still increasing!

"My God! Another car has broken out of the lead group! It's challenging Abidar! The code is... C-102! Ferruggio Silver Wolf Team!"

As soon as the commentator said this, countless viewers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Ferruggio Silver Wolf? That name... sounds familiar."

"Looks like a strong team from back in the day? But they disbanded a long time ago."

"Has he made a comeback now? Or is he impersonating someone else?"

Of course, these words didn't reach my ears. I was just gripping the armrest next to my seat tightly, praying that Ally wouldn't mess things up. It was a matter of life and death. If Sirius really flew off the steep slope and crashed down below, I would be seriously injured even if I didn't die. I endured the jolts and looked out the window, realizing that we were now running alongside Emilia and the others. Anyone who relaxed would immediately fall behind.

"Ferruggio and Abidar are getting closer and closer to the steep slope! But they clearly have no intention of slowing down! And—they are going incredibly fast! Far exceeding the top speed of ordinary off-road vehicles!"

"Emilia's 'Light Path' is indeed stronger than before... But... don't underestimate my 'Jet Point' either! Aa..."

Less than ten meters from the steep slope, Ally roared, and the immense thrust struck again, even more powerfully than before! Sirius roared wildly, flying straight off the top of the slope!!!

The leather chair back pressed against my back, yet I felt weightless beneath my feet; the four wheels spun wildly, but there wasn't a single bump...

It flew away! Mom, look!

Off-road vehicles are flying in the sky.

"Alice (sister) Aa ...

"Stop yelling! Stop yelling! Spray forward at a 45-degree angle! Spray..."

Another tremendous thrust, but this time not from directly behind, but slightly below! Sirius, which was already falling along a standard parabola, was abruptly stopped. The upward component of the force balanced gravity, while the forward component propelled us straight forward once again!

"Fuck Mao Mao Ma Ma Ma Ma Mao! This is so exciting!!!!"

"A Ye! Look to the left!"

Givinia's voice calmed my mind a little, and I forced myself to look to my left, despite my discomfort.

"What is that?!"

A path of light, composed of pink rays, stretched from the top of the hill, across the void, and into the distant plains. Neatly arranged on the surface of the Light Path were white arrows pointing forward. A red and yellow race car sped along it, moving with exceptional stability. Moreover, with each arrow it passed, its speed, which had been slightly declining, would increase again. Compared to our chaotic state, they seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll.

"Hold on tight, we're about to land!"

Ally's shout brought me back to reality, and when I looked ahead again—

It was about two meters above the ground.

Let's act cute while we're still alive.

Mipa~❤niconiconi~❤

That's all for being cute.

I have no regrets in my life

--Yeah, right.

"It's going to crash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt!!!!!!!!!!"

The fourth thrust came, this time directly below! The force of the descent was neutralized, making landing much easier.

--It's a ghost.

"Oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" ← me

"Sister, waa ...

"This is just too too too too too--------" ← Givinia

The world is spinning!

A mixture of meat and vegetables!

The earth shook violently!

The sky darkened!

After a deafening roar, Sirius's four wheels finally touched the ground, and its speed plummeted to nearly 200 miles per hour. The four of us were finally back on Earth from hell. Except for Ally, who still had some energy, the other three of us were slumped in our seats like rag dolls... What was that saying again? We were lucky to have survived a catastrophe.

"Excellent, smooth landing!"

"Stable my ass!!!"

Ugh! A wave of acid rose from my stomach to my throat. I quickly covered my mouth and managed to suppress the vomiting despite the violent shaking! Then I looked at the Abidal Beauties Team... Damn! They landed perfectly smoothly! The end of their Light Path met the ground perfectly, without the slightest tremor upon landing!

"Did you see that, ladies and gentlemen? The Abidar Beauties and the Ferruggio Silver Wolves are displaying their incredible abilities, descending the steep slope without slowing down! And the following troops are still slowing down! Their lead is now unshakeable! It's truly amazing... But the Ferruggio Silver Wolf Team seem a bit disheveled?"

The commentator's excited voice came from above; the word "disheveled" was completely unnecessary!

"Alright! Let's continue on flat ground! Our goal is that wide road ahead that cuts through the mixed woods!"

"No need to sprint like crazy anymore?"

"We've already pulled ahead of the main force; for now, let's maintain the status quo for the time being!"

"What about Emilia and the others?"

"Emilia's ability is more convenient than mine, but it also takes more effort. She must be exhausted by now, and she won't be able to compete with us in this situation."

As she spoke, Ally slowed down slightly and drove steadily toward the mixed woods.

Are you alright, Amy?

"It's alright... but creating such a long 'Light Path' is indeed quite strenuous."

Emilia took the bottled Spiritual Medicine from Messiah, took a big gulp, and her complexion improved. This Spiritual Medicine was commonly used by athletes to restore their strength; it was cheap and highly effective.

"How are Ally and the others?"

"They've landed too, though they look a bit disheveled, but they're still in the lead just like us," Tani Hana Mei said. Although she wasn't from the Si Nan Family, her special ability was to release a detection field, so she was fully aware of every move the Ferruggio Silver Wolf Team made.

"They went towards the mixed woods, probably intending to take the wide road. What do you think? Should we follow them?"

"... No, let's stick to the original plan and take the route through Tahiti. Although the road is a bit difficult, there will be fewer competitors and we won't be as likely to encounter monsters."

More importantly, she's a bit tired now, and Ally is probably about the same. The competition has only just begun, and there will be many more opportunities to compete.

"I'll fight you again when I'm in top form!"
