Chapter 209 208: The Four Zones

209 208: The Four Zones

As the ominous words of the monotonous voice drifted into Corey's ears, a baffled expression came upon Corey as he subconsciously spoke out loud.

But just before he could fully digest the words of the monotonous voice, his U-Watch glowed with a blood red light and in the next moment, magical symbols appeared around him.

Corey glanced at the magical symbols, his eyes containing a light of intrigue in them as he observed the magical formation which had suddenly appeared around him.

Although his reaction, or the reaction of most, should have been that of caution and vigilance. Corey's inhumane keen sensitivity to killing intent, made him notice the lack of killing or lethal intent in the magical formation.

Also, Corey's high sensitivity and experience towards things that dealt with space, made him to instantly realize that the main function of the magical formation was teleportation.

'This is a really complex magical formation. It also has a protection and tracking formation in it.'

Corey had this thought as he gazed at the magical formation with interest. Just as he was about to continue his observation of the magical formation, the magical formation glowed with a blood red light, and in the next second, Corey's figure vanished.

The next second after Corey vanished, Corey opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a dark space which felt familiar, and also, unfamiliar at the same time.

'What's this place?'

Corey furrowed his brows as the feeling of familiarity and unfamiliarity washed over him. He blinked and the moment he did, his surroundings changed.

Woosh!

He looked around but when he did, his eyes widened in extreme shock.

"What the?!"

Whoosh!

Corey cursed out loud as he noticed that he was high up in the air, and his body dropped at an extremely fast speed.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!"

"What the fuck is this?!"

"This wasn't in the information I bought!"

"I want a refund!"

"Shit! I'm scared of heights!!"

Multiple screams and shouts drifted into Corey's ears and with a baffled and startled expression, Corey turned his head to his right.

'Oh wow.'

A surprised glint appeared in Corey's eyes as images of numerous falling people appeared in his eyes. He tried to guess the number of people around him, and a few seconds later, he furrowed his brows slightly.

'At least a hundred people.'

'That's a lot.'

More curses and shouts drifted into his ears and after giving a brief glance to the people around him, his gaze moved downwards.

'According to the information provided by Divine. There should be four main obstacles/zones of the death race.'

Corey thought as he moved his gaze downwards, but as soon as he saw what was beneath him, his eyes widened in shock.

"Isn't this place way too large?"

A slight frown crept up on Corey's face as he mumbled and observed the vastness of the 'race track'.

'This place looks like an amalgamation of different environments of the world.'

Corey furrowed his brows as he defined what he was currently seeing the best way he could. He released a soft breath of turbid air then his gaze moved to the first main obstacle on the 'race track'.

From the information given to him by Divine, there were four main obstacles on the race track.

The first main obstacle was called the Red Sea of Death.

The second obstacle was called the Mountains of Soundless Death.

The third obstacle was called the Desert of Mysteries.

And the fourth obstacle was called the Fall of the Titanic.

Each of these obstacles/zones, had their respective characteristics. For example:

The Red Sea of Death had a long and wide bridge which they were to race on. Beneath this bridge was a large body of blood red liquid, which was so stagnant that it was absolutely unnerving. Due to the extreme stillness of the red sea, the red sea at times emitted a glossy look, making it look like a large piece of blood red glass.

Although, the red sea of death looked like a harmless, serene and beautiful place. It was a place that causes instant death of most living beings that were tier 2 and below.

Any tier 2 and below organism that touches the red sea of death, instantly turns into stone, and according to Divine, those words were not exaggerated in the slightest.

The second obstacle/zone, was the Mountains of Soundless Death.

After crossing the Red Sea of Death, the survivors would have to go through a slightly narrow pathway, which had countless mountains around it.

The pathway had countless curves and turns, and the reason for the zone being called The Mountains of Soundless Death, was surprisingly... not stated in the information provided by Divine. nove(lB-In

According to Divine, the clown wanted it to be a secret since he felt, that the death race game would be much more enjoyable compared to when known.

The third zone was called The Desert of Mysteries.

Just like the second zone/obstacle, the third zone was a zone that barely contained any information on its characteristics and dangers.

Just like the name, the clown wanted the zone to remain a mystery until they encountered it.

The fourth and final zone was called The Fall of the Titanic.

Unlike the previous zone which was in the desert, and would definitely be scorching hot, the fourth zone, was ice cold.

Extremely cold and fast winds blew in the fourth zone, and the temperature at The Fall of the Titanic was so low that it could instantly freeze a tier 0 human.

Asides from these dangers which were mentioned in the information provided by Divine, Corey was hundred percent sure that there were other dangers on the vast piece of land beneath them.

Corey released a soft sigh and just as he did, a holographic image appeared in front of him.

[Ahem Ahem. Can I have your attention people. Can I have your attention.]

A strange expression emerged on Corey's face as the image on the holographic screen reflected in his eyes.

'Well, that's certainly... odd.'

Corey thought as he gazed at the clown face painted man on the holographic screen.

[I'm your commentator for this game, and in case you don't know. The death race game has already begun.]

[You have thirty minutes to cross the finish line. Anybody that doesn't cross the finish line after thirty minutes... would instantly die.]

[So good luck people, and make sure you have lots of fun.]

Hearing the words of the clown faced commentator, a slight frown appeared on Corey's face.

'The death race has already begun?'

As Corey had this thought, a bad feeling came upon him and in the next second, his pupils constricted as he felt multiple killing intent aimed at him.

'Hexagon Barrier.'

Corey deployed his skill the instant he felt the killing intent and in the next moment.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BANG!

BAM!

BAM!

The winds stirred and the ears of multiple people bled as the loud sounds of explosions reverberated in the surroundings.

"ARRGGGHHH!!!"

"YOU COWARD!"

"HOW DARE YOU LAUNCH A SNEAK ATTACK ON ME! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!"

"FUCK! MY HAND!"

"BASTARD!"

"HAHAHA!! FOOLS!"

Multiple screams, shouts and curses flew about and a few seconds later, more explosions resounded in the surroundings, stirring the air vigorously.

Approximately fifty meters away, a falling Corey watched the ensuing chaos with cold but indifferent eyes and images of various magical spells flying around in the air appeared in his eyes.

Corey's gaze shifted from the magical spells launched haphazardly in the air, to the falling corpses. A thought came into Corey's mind and without hesitation, he turned his body to have a better look at the falling corpses.

The multiple corpses dropped at an alarming speed towards the red sea of death and a few seconds later, the corpses reached the red sea.

But surprisingly, the moment the corpses touched the red sea, there was no large splash nor was the red sea disturbed. Only faint ripples appeared on the surface of the red sea the instant the changed corpses touched the large body of water.

Corey's eyes glinted as the image of the disturbingly strange new state of the corpses reflected in his eyes.

'Truly a red sea of death.'

Just like the information sold to him by Divine, the instant a part of the corpses touched the red sea, each and every one of the corpses turned to stone.

It was absolutely unnerving because Corey could not figure out the reason for this absurd phenomenon of a large body of water.

'I'll probably figure it out later... Or I can ask Divine.'

Corey thought, then his gaze moved to his right arm which had a healing injury on it.

Seeing the healing injury, memories of what transpired some minutes ago resurfaced in his mind and he furrowed his brows slightly.

'I was forced to teleport.'

Corey's frown deepened as he remembered how he almost sustained grievous injuries from the previous attacks launched at him, and to avoid that, he had no choice but to teleport.

He turned his body to face the transpiring chaos and a frown crept upon his face.

'What a mess.'

Although the thought of locating and killing the people who launched the previous attacks on him came into his mind, Corey decided to ignore that thought and focus on landing safely on the bridge, and locating Divine, Fatty and Rosa.
