"Let's hope I survive," I muttered before flying up and shooting toward the exit.
My speed is fast, but not fast enough that people won't be able to catch up to me. With this speed, I am showing that I do not care if they want to come at me.
If I move sneakily. They will come to me, and they will come even when I move openly.
There is no way I would be able to get out without them knowing. So, I might as well do it openly with the grin on my face and runes on my body flashing.
It might deter some, and that will be an immense help.
I had flown from the place where there was no soul sense, but a few minutes later, I appeared in the area with them.
I had entered the range, and they had sensed me immediately. They started to follow me; some were sneaky while others were doing it openly.
However, all of them are maintaining their distance. Even the Peak Primes, with many looking at the runes swimming my skin.
I am sure they had heard about what had happened. Seven fossils died.
The people who were at peak in level and laws died the most painful death. It will make them cautious, and I hope they are cautious enough not to get too close.
I entered the ranges of more and more people, and many followed, keeping the distance.
Soon, I reached near the exit and could see the screen covering it. It took me seconds to reach it and flew through without hesitation.
Immediately, a new set of soul senses had reached me. There are people waiting on the other side as well.
The caves activated as their advantage; they followed me clearly closely. Staying just a few caves away from me.
However, soon they got company. Many who had been following me on the other side. Also came this time and followed beside them.
I could feel them looking at each other cautiously. Seeing that, a small smile appeared on my face.
The numbers are good for me. The more they are, the better it will be for me.
Because they will think really hard before attacking. Because even if they succeeded in dealing with me. They won't be able to keep what they got for me.
So, they will only attack when they feel they can get away. Which also produced a problem for me.
Because only powerful will attack and there are a lot of powerful people. Especially the bastards who are hiding their identities with masks and cloaks.
Many of them are powerful enough to kill me.
I controlled my emotion and sent another wave of soul waves. I rarely do this, especially in the presence of such powerful Primes that are looking at my every move, but here I don't choose.
I needed to see everything because I only had one plan, and that didn't give me much confidence.
The plan is simple. It is to lead them in dangerous area, but that is four hours away. It may seem like a long shot, but chances of success are better than one would think.
I may not have confidence, but my rational mind thinks it will work.
The number of people following me is high, and there are many powerful. Giving even powerful a pause, because even they are not safe.
Especially when there are so many masks' people whose power they couldn't properly gauge.
There had been countless times, powerful like them had died in such pursuits, but despite knowing that, they are still following me.
Greed is a poison that is sweeter than honey. Once it captured their soul, it eventually led them to their deaths.
I don't care whether they leave or die. The only thing I care about is my survival.
Another half an hour passed, and I was still flying. I have not increased my speed, nor I had reduced it. I had even kept a smile on my face that would become bigger after someone moved closer to me.
I can not show them; I am scared. They will sense the blood, the moment I did.
Hun! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveIＦire.net
A few more minutes passed when I sensed something. Something brought hope but also dread.
I am happy because it could lead me somewhere. It would give me the precious seconds that I would need to survive, but it is also making me feel dread.
The dread, not because it could lead me somewhere dangerous, which is an actual fear, but because if I went toward it.
Those holding back might attack.
I thought, till it is time to make the decision, and I did. I took the left turn, where the jump pad was.
Immediately, I sensed the reaction. The people moved closer, I could feel many of them had activated their powers. Ready to strike at the moment.
I didn't increase my speed. I kept moving at the same speed. Getting closer and closer to it, till I am only half a minute away.
It is when one of them lost their patient.
High-Prime like I am projecting, but he had comprehended the power of laws.
"Prime Arys, stop," he called as he appeared behind me. "I would have Prime Nort, but there are too many people behind you."
"I don't think I would be bad for me. If they had bad intentions toward me," I replied with a smile.
That made his expressions turn ugly, and he showed hesitation on his face. However, it had lasted for a fraction of seconds before he attacked.
It is a fire blast with the power of fire laws.
"I am disappointed, Prime Nort," I said, and a shield appeared behind me. It might look like a single shield, but it is made of all my strings for my strongest defense.
"Bang!" the power crashed against it, and I have to say, it is powerful, but not enough to break it.
"Like I said, disappointingly weak," I added as the power of it dissipated. I said those words in all seriousness, but he could tell I was mocking him.
The power swelled inside him, and he moved for another attack when suddenly exchanged. I become very serious despite bringing a smile to my face.
A masked person appeared beside him, and a lance of wind formed in his hand.
He shot it toward me.
The masked man is a Peak Prime, and his law of wind had greater comprehension that Nort's law of fire.
I immediately made changes to my shield and was finished right before the spear reached my shield. It is the law of wind, after all; it is fast.
It struck my shield, and immediately, all formation on it lit up, despite showing no changes in it, and cracks spread across my shield.
To others, the shield looked unchanged aside from the thousand tiny wind blades covering it, trying to cut apart.
My armor too had hundreds of formations active to keep me stable. I can't show how it affected me. If I did, others would not hesitate to attack.
"Prime Tals, I didn't know you had comprehended the law of wind. Your comprehension is also quite advanced," I said, looking back with a smile.
