Chapter 648: Lavagator Races Territory (1/2)

Krune's group quickly arrived at Gavei's place. Obviously, Melio was there too.

”Oh! You are here. Come in.”

Krune and the others entered.

”So, how will it be?”

Gavei nodded.

”The competition will happen in the Lavagator Race's Territory. This race is controlling a Fire Essence Vein of their own. Not to mention that they are even stronger than us when we were at our peak. At the moment, they have more than thirty Divinity Realm elders, and some speculate that they might have a few more hidden.”

”With their deterrence, none of the other races will think about forcing them to help someone else. Also, we gathered together to pay for the use of their territory for the competition, so bribing will be out of the question too.”

Gavei continued.

”Inside their territory, there is a place called the Fire Hell. It is also the place where their strong members like to go for training. That area has thousands of active volcanos that erupt without stop. Since this run is also a competition of strength of some sort, everyone agreed in using that place.”

”Krune, you better be careful in there. The place is full of chaotic Fire Element. If you are caught by one of the eruptions, I'll guarantee that you won't leave unscratched. You might even die, depending on the volcano. Also, you need to constantly keep your Godly Energy running to fend off the heat. The visibility is awful too. Not only that, but the ashes in the air greatly affects one's Divinise Sense due to the high concentration of Fire Element and Laws.”

”The distance of the competition has a total of two thousand kilometers. According to the rules, it is prohibited to fly higher than 10 meters above the ground. To make sure the rules are followed, the Lavagator Race's elders will be stationed during the entire extent of the run. Not to mention that there will be several monitoring formations that everyone can use to see the competitors.”

”Anyway, it's like I mentioned before. This is a race with obstacles. The one who reaches the end first is the winner, nothing more, nothing less.”

Krune nodded.

”It seems like everyone put a lot of thought on it.”

Gavei laughed out loud after hearing that.

”But of course! None of the powers participating wish to lose because the others found a way to break the rules. That also includes ourselves.”

Krune then asked something else.

”How many competitors will be there. Also, which ones should I pay attention to?”

Gavei pondered a bit before saying.

”There will be 143 runners this time around. However, I can't really tell you which one to pay attention to. That's because many of those races participating in this competition called for external help, just like Melio predicted. Still, the same goes for us. No one knows about your existence yet, so you are our trump card during this race.”

”That's true. By the way, when is it starting?”

Gavei nodded before saying.

”Five days later. That's the time the Lavagator Race's elders will need to prepare the area. If you have anything you need, you might as well ask for it now.”

Krune shook his head.

”No, I'm okay. Just be sure to pay me the Wind Essence when it is over.”

”Of course, as long as you win, that is.”

Gavei then seemed to hesitate a bit as he looked at Krune's group. Iem noticed that and told Krune to ask if there was something wrong.

”Elder Gavei, do you want to say something?”

Gavei finally nodded as he looked at Sisan.

”Isn't it better to have your friend who is at the 9th Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm to participate instead? I'm not saying that you aren't strong or fast enough. It's just that this competition is too important for our Green Talon Eagle Race.”

Obviously, he was talking about the difference in cultivation between Krune and Sisan. He couldn't be blamed. After all, Sisan was indeed eight stages above Krune's level. Not to mention that he doesn't know that Krune is, in fact, faster and stronger.

”Hahaha! Don't worry, elder Gavei. The reason that we decided to use me is that when it comes to speed, I'm indeed the best one here. I know it is hard to believe due to our difference in cultivation, but we are definitely not lying.”

Gavei sighed after hearing that. Obviously, he still had his doubts. However, since Sisan didn't want to participate, there was nothing he could do.

”Very well. I'll go to your residence three days later to bring you to the Lavagator Race's Territory.”
