Chapter 849 365: Domain of Life
Rui Kai led Pororo and the others, frantically sprinting forward.
Behind them was a sky-darkening, rolling black smoke, within which a massive skull formed out of smoke roared at them.
Seeing the speed at which the smoke was surging forward, and after a slight calculation of their running speed, it was clear that it wouldn't take long before they were engulfed by the smoke.
There was no way to outrun it. Facing the current situation, Rui Kai frowned deeply, then threw his Iron Hammer onto the water's surface ahead.
A large amount of machinery and steel flew out from his ring, surrounding the Iron Hammer he had tossed onto the water, and started frantically constructing.
In just a few seconds, a steel speedboat was constructed on the water, with the hammerhead of the Iron Hammer forming the speedboat's rear.
"Get on the boat! Quickly!"
Rui Kai shouted, jumping directly onto the boat, followed closely by the other three.
As soon as they steadied themselves on the boat, Rui Kai punched the machinery in front of him.
A large amount of Magic Power was infused into the speedboat, channeling through the magic paths on it and gathering at the rear where the Iron Hammer was.
A vertical top gathered a nozzle via mechanical construction.
"Boom!"
A loud explosive sound echoed as the hammerhead of the Iron Hammer spewed a large amount of Energy, instantly propelling the speedboat across the sea surface.
The sharp bow sliced through the water and any obstructing plants or vines ahead, with filthy water mixed with debris splashing to either side.
"Pororo! Aren't you a follower of the Sea God? Quickly, help me disperse the water resistance ahead."
Although their speed was already much faster than the approaching black smoke behind them, they needed to go even faster.
This meant their movement was very noticeable, and would surely attract enemies.
If they got stopped at this moment, they would be done for.
They had to be faster, faster than all the enemies trying to stop them.
Fast enough so that the enemies searching for them could only see them from afar.
Pororo nodded and immediately jumped to the front of the boat, extending his hands forward.
The water resistance suddenly lessened, and even the murky seawater began pushing them forward.
The entire speedboat's speed was steadily increasing.
However, Pororo's furrowed brows showed that it wasn't easy.
"These waters are filled with the power of death, and even breaths of life are present, it's too chaotic, this is my limit!"
"That's enough, this is enough!" Rui Kai was sufficiently satisfied with the current situation.
Then he looked at the other two: "You guys, channel Magic Power with me. This thing consumes Magic Power at an outrageous rate."
The other two team members nodded.
Each channeled Magic Power into the Iron Hammer below.
With three people channeling Magic Power and one clearing the way, the boat's speed reached its limit, soon leaving the perpetually advancing black smoke behind.
"Don't relax, we're not safe yet."
Pororo, considering the current situation, couldn't help but start worrying about the other two teams.
The main reason they could escape so quickly without being engulfed by the black fog was that when they arrived at their location, they realized their target was the only one that might be incorrect.
Meaning, the target they had chosen was the only one uncertain.
Not having to destroy the energy transmission device allowed them to quickly escape upon realizing the black smoke was surging.
But this also implied that the other two teams had to destroy the device.
He couldn't help but turn his head and ask.
"Will they be alright?"
Upon hearing this, Rui Kai knew what Pororo was worried about and sighed.
"Don't worry, we anticipated the possibility of this black smoke. In the worst case, the captain will shield the team from it." Rui Kai's expression also showed some concern.
"What's the cost?" asked a member of the Holy Mother Church who was channeling Magic Power.
Earlier, Rui Kai was clearly anxious about that black smoke; if they were to fully resist it, there would certainly be a cost.
Rui Kai sighed and nodded: "Of course there would be a cost. Even those at the Fifth Stage, helping to resist, would still be invaded by death.
Not just the captain, even the team members following would experience it as well."
"Invasion of death?" The member of the Holy Mother Church who had asked frowned.
"Yes, at best, a portion of life's essence would be devoured, requiring tens of days or even a month to recover.
At worst, it could shorten lifespan, and what's more, concerning is that in this black fog, those undead creatures gain power enhancements.
Correspondingly, living beings get weakened; surviving until the black fog dissipates is the most critical."
Hearing this, Pororo became even more worried.
This could be considered a heavy price.
...
"Why are only you back, and so quickly?" The team at the border providing support saw Chana Liss's team breaking through from the water and asked.
While the other two teams were still escaping, this team had already destroyed the energy-supplying device and returned to the border.
"We simply broke through quickly via underwater, without encountering any obstruction, that's why we're fast." Chana Liss replied.
They could be considered the fastest team in reaching their location, destroying the target immediately, then returning through the same route.
They had encountered almost no obstruction the entire way.
