Chapter 24: Race
The explosion caught everyone off guard. Despite Alan mentioning an obstacle, they didn’t expect an explosion to happen so quickly.
It was almost impossible to guard against. The black cloud rose towards the sky, and the ground was scorching with flames.
Whoosh!
From the black cloud and dust, Mathew jumped out, running towards his one-mile target with all of his speed.
But half of his body was scorched by flames. The skin was melting.
It was almost like he dived into a volcano and came out with some massive burns.
"Mathew!"
On the Human Stage, Adam clenched his fist.
He knew Mathew understood the assignment.
This wasn’t a fight. This wasn’t about strength. It was all about speed. And, he was going against one of the fastest races in the universe.
If he wanted to win this battle, he must sacrifice everything.
These obstacles.
