Chapter 166 Shocking Technique

The ceiling shook and rumbled.

As it fell apart, the silver-eyed stone golems fell to the ground, and then they rose to their feet from their kneeling position.

They were tall and monstrous-looking.

With their glowing silver eyes, they saw two young men running towards their direction.

In their stony minds, only one thought surfaced—kill.

With their boulder-sized fists, they punched straight at Drago, but again, it was a very straightforward punch without any technique behind it.

Drago leaped over the fist, flipped himself over the stone golem, and landed gracefully on the other side, unscathed.

The couple of other stone golems closed in on him, but Drago sprinted past them with his superior speed, and without fighting any of them, he started heading straight to the third challenge!

'You don't have to defeat these stone golems?!' Kiernan thought in shock. 'That's where I lost so much time!'

Kiernan narrowed his eyes, and then he bolted past the stone golems with his insane speed. The stone golems tried to crush him, but he just ran past with wind rushing past his black hair.

He ran past all the stone golems!

The stone golems turned their heads around, but instead of chasing after him, their silver eyes turned dull, and they stopped moving altogether.

'Drago has a slight lead now that I stopped to watch Drago do the second challenge. I expected him to fight, and I can use that to my advantage to pass him.

'However, I didn't expect him to just run past them all, but that's fine—I can still see him!'

He was seeing Drago's silhouette in the distance—he had managed to get a good lead on him.

The third challenge appeared in the distance.

Drago started heading up the hill, and after a few meters, the hill started to shake, and the chains started flying in his direction.

To Kiernan's surprise, Drago jumped off the ground, turned around, and kicked the chains away from him with incredible force.

The chains returned back to the ground.

Drago landed back on the hill and kept running, but then the chains started to fly back at him, but like before, Drago just kicked them away.

'That's another time save!

'Instead of letting the chains grab him, he is trying to avoid that altogether. I am not surprised that there are some time saves, but this is just completely avoiding the point of every challenge!'

Kiernan thought, but he also thought it was very smart.

Those chains cost him like five minutes last time around, if not even more. It was extremely slow to try to walk all the way to the top with chains wrapped around arms.

Kiernan reached the hill and started running up—just in time to see Drago reach the top.

That's right—ran past him... on water.

Drago's eyes bulged out, and his eyes almost fell out of their sockets—he watched as Kiernan RAN past him on water.

'What the $%@#&?!'

Drago didn't know what he was looking at.

With Water Walking, Kiernan arrived at the solid road and reached the final challenge way before Drago.

BANG!

The bullet came flying in.

"Rendering Edge!"

Kiernan kept running, smashing his hands through the bullets, and neared the exit!

"No!" Drago climbed out of the water and screamed. "Please wait a moment!"

Kiernan evaded the last bullet and ran through the exit.

"Yes!"

A shout reached his ear immediately as Julian jumped to his feet in excitement.

"I-Impossible!" Roesia and Fae looked at each other in shock.

"What the..." Gardner's eyes shook. "Drago lost?"

"Woohoo!" Kiernan clenched his fists in triumph. "Fucking easy!"

He was truly excited about his victory; his childish self resurfaced for a moment.

"Haha!" Julian jumped on his back, wrapping his arms around Kiernan's neck in a bear hug. "I knew you had it in you!"

Through the cave entrance, Drago walked out with a sullen look, his head hanging low in defeat.

"Drago..." Gardner grabbed him by the collar. "How did you lose to that bastard?"

"He..." Drago sat down with a look of shock. "Ran on water..."

"Huh? What the fuck are you talking about?"

At the stone time tablet, the time had frozen.

[FINAL TIME]
