The originally serious off-road racing suddenly developed in a strange direction.
To quote a classic line—It’s chaos, chaos. The whole northwest Shanxi, bah, the whole suburb of Fuyuki is in chaos.
"Get out of the way! The Macedonian Conqueror is too heavy and hard to maneuver. Don't blame us if you get hit."
This is Iskander and Weber, and they start playing bumper cars.
"Hehehehe~ Shotgun, cannon shot, slash, cone!"
This is Illya, the only one who can attack at will without any scruples.
Why? Because she was not using a treasure or magic, she was using magic. And it was legitimate magic, with the emblem of "Jewel Man" clearly engraved on the magic wand.
"Oh no, out of control, be careful of turbulence."
There was no doubt that this was Lorelaia. When she accelerated before, she had specially combed the airflow to avoid affecting the surroundings. Of course, she would not be so stupid now. Not only that, she also deliberately increased the weight, leaving only one channel for herself and Altira to move.
Seeing this, Rin and Luvia also got angry.
Gilgamesh is getting better and better at playing with the Feng Shui plate, constantly creating obstacles.
Karna's release of magic power became more and more frequent, turning the originally smooth road into a mess.
Fiore, who is very professional, gave up the treatment completely: "Ah, whatever you want, I don't care."
"Referee, cheer up, referee!" Olga Marie shouted exaggeratedly.
In this way, cross-country racing has completely turned into an obstacle race for most of the contestants.
As for the other part—
"Oh oh oh, the fight has started, the fight has started."
The road outside Fuyuki was built along the mountain. Halfway up the mountain closest to the contestants, Shinji held a bag of potato chips in one hand and placed the other hand on his forehead as if looking out at the chaotic situation below the mountain.
"I knew it would turn out like this. I never doubted these guys' ability to cause trouble."
"So, that's why you don't use professional racing cars but roller skates like this?" Scathach asked without hesitation while eating potato chips.
"Of course, roller skating won't work for speed racing, but the same may not be true for obstacle courses." Shinji nodded proudly.
"That's not all. Are you planning to take a shortcut?"
Another hand reached out from the side, but it was not to take potato chips, but to hand over two cans of the beverage that symbolizes freedom - Coke. The only person who would carry such a beverage with him was the man who pursued freedom - Roman.
Because the situation was getting more and more intense, he rushed over with a medical team. The medical team's means of transportation was the same as Shinji and Scathach's.
"Of course, there is no rule in the competition that prohibits taking shortcuts. Not only do I have to take shortcuts myself, but I also have to take Sakura and the others with me. Oh, here we go. You must be tired after riding for so long. Let's have a drink, eat something, and then continue on our way."
When the ladies' bicycle came into view, Shinji slipped and slid over, then handed the drinks and food given by Roman to the two women on the bicycle.
"Well, thank you, brother."
"Thanks."
"This guy..."
Roman swung his fist at Shinji's back, but when the latter turned his head away, he quickly retracted his fist, acting weak and helpless, which made Scathach laugh.
"How long do you plan to keep pretending?"
"Pretending? What are you pretending for? What have I pretended for?" Roman touched his ponytail with an innocent look on his face.
"Is this interesting?"
Scathach shook her head helplessly, and Roman nodded seriously.
"It would be interesting not to encounter a powerful being like you."
"Powerful, powerful..."
Scathach sighed, but Roman ignored her, waved to the nurses, and rushed down the mountain together.
"Someone's car has overturned. Come with me to rescue him."
...
"After Lancer Cuchulainn's Gáe Bolcar, the second eliminated group appeared, the Iskandar and Weber group. They once had an advantage due to the weight of the Macedonian Conqueror, but in the end they suffered the consequences due to the inertia brought by the weight."
As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
Even experienced drivers with great driving skills can sometimes fail. Iskandar was too ambitious and wanted to take down Altira and Altria in one go, but the two teams teamed up to take down Altira and Altria in an extreme counterattack.
Ramleh II and the Great King were relatively light, and had the Wind King's barrier and wind magic, so they narrowly avoided the guardrail just before hitting it, while the huge Macedonian Conqueror failed to brake and rushed off the track.
"Ahhhh—"
"I'm going to fall—"
The two big men in the car shouted in unison.
At this time, another car rushed out of the runway. This time, no one was trying to lead it, but it rushed out on its own initiative, amid the shouting of the two women.
"I won't let you succeed! As long as I'm here, the king's chariot will be safe!"
"Master, I won't let you quit halfway."
Because they were actively rushing out without any deceleration, Faker and Gray arrived at the landing point of the Macedonian Conqueror first. The master and the servant jointly released all their magic power, and managed to stop the Macedonian Conqueror from sliding down the mountain, and pushed it directly back to the track.
After doing all this, the two petite women and their vehicle had reached their limit. They fell to the side of the road as if they were burned out, and were carried onto stretchers by the medical team that happened to run down the mountain.
Despite this, they still talk.
"king-"
"Master—"
"—We must achieve the final victory!"
"Faker!"
"Gray!"
With tears in their eyes, Iskandar and Weber adjusted their vehicles as quickly as possible and set out on their journey again.
"Go! Weber!"
"Yes, my king!"
At this time, Artoria, Altira and others had already run a considerable distance. Given the current state of the Macedonian Conqueror, it was very difficult to catch up.
But so what? Should I give up just because of this
What a joke!
"There is glory over there!"
"It is precisely because it is so far away that it is worth challenging."
"Sing praises to tyranny, demonstrate tyranny, for the sake of the ministers who are watching his back."
"For the disciple who trusts me wholeheartedly!"
"—We will never lose!"
"—We will win!"
The two men who were left behind did not give up nor despair in their hearts. Instead, they were filled with excitement that almost jumped out of their chests. Together, they shouted the unique slogan of conquest that belonged to the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa.
"AAAALaLaLaLaLaie!!"
Hearing this familiar roar, Shinji on the hillside was confused: "Why did it suddenly catch fire?"
"Because you men are all simple fools in a sense." said Scathach.
"Clam?"
Confusion turned into bewilderment, but before he could ask in detail, Scathach had already spoken.
"Stop it, it's almost time for us to leave. If we don't leave now, we will really miss it."
"oh oh!"
So, the lazy and slacking group also started running again.
