Chapter 625: Closing (2/2)
Everyone was taken aback. That's because they didn't feel the presence of Divine Sense when they heard that. Obviously, it wasn't a Divine Sense Message, but something else. Still, Jimage looked at Krune and asked with a Divine Sense message this time.
'Are you sure you can detect the Spatial Tears fast enough to warn the others? I'm barely doing it with my Divine Sense. But if everyone increases their speeds, I'm not confident I can prevent them from falling into the Spatial Tears in time.'
Krune looked back at Jimage and nodded.
'Trust me, I can definitely do it. Besides, did you notice? The speed that the walls are closing behind us is increasing by the time. Soon, it will surpass our max running speed.'
Jimage and the others narrowed their eyes. Their Divine Senses couldn't go back far enough to check the walls closing. But they still noticed it by merely looking behind. Krune was right, the difference was minute, but the closure was becoming faster and faster.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
'Alright, we will leave it to you. What do you need?'
Krune then pointed behind his back.
'Come where I am and don't stay more than two meters away from each other. Make a queue and be sure to only step where I do. Follow every and all my movements.'
Everyone was taken aback. Krune's group is keeping over a hundred meters of distance at the moment between each member. Not only them but all the other groups as well. After all, if someone was caught by a Spatial Tear, he or she wouldn't go down with someone else. If they were this close, there would be no time for the rest to dodge. Obviously, they were a little reluctant.
However, there was an exception, Iem! As soon as Krune said that, he appeared two meters behind him. Iem knows about Krune's ability very well, so he is pretty sure that his chances will be much better if he follows him.
The others also saw that. In the end, they gritted their teeth and moved behind Krune as well. Well, Jimage, Rui, and Xanala didn't, though. With their Cultivations and Divine Senses, they were confident enough to move much faster without falling into Spatial Tears. Krune, of course, was more than happy that it was the case. The lesser the number of group members he had to guide, the faster he could be.
As soon as they did that, Pharan and Foltan groups noticed the change. As one can imagine, they thought that the Sky Shifting Sect was up to something. However, they didn't know what it was about.
Krune ignored their eyes, though. He concentrated his Mental Energy on the surroundings. Everything then became much clearer, including the hidden Spatial Tears. Krune smiled faintly and instantly increased his speed. The others immediately followed him, too, keeping two meters of distance from each other. They began to run ahead more than three times the other two groups' speed!
Pharan and Foltan were taken aback. Not only them but everyone else.
”Are they crazy?”
”What if they encounter a Spatial Tear? They will all die together!”
”Could it be that they are trying their luck? Maybe they think they can escape this situation first and begin looking for the rewards ahead of us.”
Pharan narrowed his eyes and looked at Krune in the distance. Suddenly, he heard a Divine Sense Message from Illia, who also came with them into the Dimensional Realm.
'I don't think he is relying on luck. Those two Divine View Realm guys are too weird.'
Pharan looked at Illia and nodded his head in the end. Krune was moving much faster ahead, but he was also changing direction several times. Pharan believed that Krune was really able to see the Spatial Tears ahead of time.
Illia couldn't help but ask.
'What do we do? We can't continue like this for long.'
Pharan narrowed his eyes. He then looked at his group and ordered.
”We won't fall behind. Everyone, increase your speeds. We don't have much choice anyway since the walls behind are closing faster as time passes. If we take too long, we are going to be caught by it.”
Pharan wasn't as confident as Krune, but he also told everyone to follow his steps. It's just that he asked them to keep more distance from each other.
Foltan, obviously, noticed the walls increase of speed as well. Without another choice, he also told everyone to increase their speed. As for how many would survive in the end, no one knows.
