The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 606

Chapter 606: First Checkpoint Reached

Ah... this is nice.

Sometimes, it’s nice to just run and feel the wind without caring about other things. I can just enjoy the scenery around me. Though the scenery is moving so fast. Oh, wait. It was me who run so fast.

For now, thanks to becoming Aura Master, I can still see Ray far ahead in front of me. But it won’t be long before he reached outside the range of my Divine Vision.

Spot is also behind him moving very fast. He can easily dodge the obstacles in front of him. But sometimes, he doesn’t even need to dodge. Even without Divine Vision, I can still tell where he is by looking at the remains of the destruction from the path he took. Even now, I can see a tree is falling down after he hit it.

But doing it will only make him slow down. The gap between the two is getting wider. But maybe that’s what Spot wants. Because the next two courses, the sea and the sky, is his dominion.

Spot should be able to pass Ray in the sea. But for the sky, I don’t know. I think the result will be very close. With Ray in the lead. I hope.

Finally, Ray is out of my sight. But the distance from here to the beach is still quite far, so I’ll use portal later and enjoy my run.

.....

Seeing that Ray is no more, I slowed down my pace and now I can see the scenery normally. I slowed down so Angela and the others can catch up.

It’s kind of funny to see her suddenly entered the ground and then moved ahead quickly again and again. But there’s something different than before.

The range where she can go with her Groundwalking magic is getting longer and faster each time she entered the ground. That’s what a talent is. Maybe before she reached master level, she can cover at least the whole city with her Groundwalking.

“Good job getting this far, Angela! It will take a few more hours until you get to the beach. And Shelia is getting closer behind you. Be careful!” I said to Angela.

She didn’t look back at all. Probably because she knows that someone is behind her by using her detection magic. She didn’t even greet me when she passed me by. Well, that’s fine.

Next, Shelia is coming.

“Nice, Shelia! But be careful, Angela is getting faster and faster!” I said to Shelia.

If it’s her, she should know the distance between her and Angela by the smell. Especially when she’s in her wolf form. She said that her smelling sense is much better in that form than when she’s in her normal human form.

Again, Shelia passed me by without saying anything. But I don’t care.

After enjoying the scenery quite a bit, I opened a portal. Not to where the beach is, but to where Ray is. I placed a Blobby on the side of his body, and on Spot’s back as well so I won’t distract them. Because if I opened a portal in front of them, they might end up entering the portal and go back to where they were before. They will hate me for that.

I increase my pace as I entered the portal. And when I entered it, Ray is quickly ahead of me once again. So fast!

“Good luck, Ray! Make a huge gap so Spot won’t be able to pass you in the next course!” I said to Ray who ignored me and just keep running.

I’m at my full speed again. Running forward without caring about anything for a few minutes before Spot is about to pass me.

“Spot! Don’t let Ray make the gap too big! You can still pass him in the sea!” I said.

“Roy, which one do you support? Ray or Spot?” Victoria asked me all of a sudden.

“The one I put my money on. Though it’s interesting to see the race getting intense,” I said.

Maybe Spot heard that because when he passed me, his tail suddenly swung toward me trying to hit me. But because he put all his strength on moving forward, there’s no strength behind that tail swung and I can block it with one hand.

“Spot, don’t bother with other things! Your pace is slowed down a bit because of that!” I said.

“It’s all because of you though. Are you going to keep using portal like that until you get closer to the beach?” Victoria asked.

“Yes. It’s fun to see the two of them so motivated to win. Spot has never had any rival before. Even Andro was a bit too much for him. But now, because Ray is with us, Spot has become extremely motivated. Just look at how fast he is now compared to before. I’m glad I made a contract with Ray,” I said.

Before this, even though Spot has been growing steadily, his growth wasn’t as much as it is now. It’s all thanks to having a rival that he wants to surpass and he refuses to lose against.

Just like Angela who wants to keep getting stronger than me. Or Kron who refuses to be weaker than any of us and keep training on his own somewhere. Or Kayla who keeps learning more and finds something she’s better at than the others. They all have goals and most likely, all those goals are related to having someone to compete with or want to surpass.

Though that’s not the case for me. I’m just less competitive than other people Maybe because I’m actually older than them combined with my previous life so I’m wiser. Or that there are no Aura user I can compare with since they have all gone. Though at least I have become much stronger than them before they disappeared for real after becoming ghosts.

As for Timmy... I’m still weaker than him unless I am riding Ray. Well, that’s how I fight. I won’t fight alone, so it’s fine. But I still need to get stronger.

After two hours of running, and using portal repeatedly, the two finally got closer to the first checkpoint. A beach.

And so, I opened a portal to the beach instead of Ray’s location. And I see some monsters wandering around. Though they are not powerful monsters. I think it must be because I used my intimidation here so most of them have disappeared. But these monsters must be curious about what’s happening here.

I can see the flag is taken of by some fishman. I remember that monster. I was weak back then and it gave me some trouble. Though it is no match for me now.

Even if the fishman is from this world, which most monsters are stronger and smarter than monsters born in humans world, I can kill them easily.

“Don’t you disturb the race!”

I easily killed the monsters near the two flags. After that, I fixed the flags back to where they were before and wait for Ray and Spot to pass.

It was around thirty minutes later when I can finally see Ray. It’s just around one hour before high noon. He’s really fast on land.

Ray is running without stopping and broke a flag in front of him before reaching the shore.

“If you keep going straight, you should reach the deepest trench. It’s around a hundred kilometers from here. And the depth of that trench was about twenty kilometers deep. No normal creature able to endure the water pressure in that depth. And maybe you need to fight. Good luck!” I said to Ray who jumped on the shore and dive into the water. He’s very fast as well underwater. But the sea is Spot’s dominion. I hope the gap won’t be too large between the two if Spot passed him.

About half an hour later, Spot finally arrives. He broke the only Blobbyflag standing and entered the sea. I also gave him the instruction of where the next checkpoint is. Just like I did to Ray.

They should be able to reach it. Even if they somehow got pushed by the current underwater, as long as they can reach the trench, they should be able ot reach the flag.

Well, it should take a while until they reached there. But this time, I will go there first. I won’t wait for Angela and the others. They can do anything they want in the beach and I will pick them up later.

For now, I need to use portal to go there. But the pressure at the checkpoint is too strong and it will destroy everything here. So, I opened a portal in a small island near the trench. I will dive from there with full speed.

After I move to the island, I got Victoria to cover me with Victoriarmor and increase her weight into maximum so I can reach the checkpoint faster.

With Aura covering my body, I can endure the water pressure. But that’s not the only problem.

“I guess I’ll kill some monsters on the way there as well. There shouldn’t be anything stronger than Spot or Ray, but I don’t want their race to be disturbed,” I said as I kill a shark monster on the way.

I’d like to see how much gap can Spot cover in the sea. Maybe he has already passed Ray. But that will be difficult.

I can just open a portal to the checkpoint. But it’s difficult even for me to enter when the water pressure can destroy human’s body. That’s why I can’t follow the two like I did before. Although I am confident I can endure it, there’s no reason for me to waste my stamina like that at the moment.

Well, but the race doesn’t seem to be less interesting anyway. Let’s see who will reach this checkpoint first.
