Everyone stared at her as she moved past Gustav and Angy’s position.
After she crossed over twenty feet, the chubby boy decided to join her.
He also activated his bloodline, causing black metallic shards to cover his face, hands and legs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His movement caused the ground to make loud sounds.
He caught up to the girl, and they kept on moving forward together.
Seeing the way they weren’t affected, everyone joined them, running forward and leaving Gustav and Angy behind.
Immediately the two at the front crossed about seventy feet, silver-coloured cannons suddenly sprouted from the ground.
Zwoon! Zwooon! Zwoon!
About seventeen cannons with two or three mini cannons sprouted out in less than five seconds, shooting blue beams towards the participants.
Bing! Bing! Bing! Bing!
Since every participant was a Zulu-ranked mixedblood, three seconds was more than enough for them to prepare to dodge the attacks. However, immediately they tried to move their body, a strange pressure suddenly descended upon the vicinity.
Thoooooooomm!
Everyone suddenly felt the weight of their bodies increase by two.
Due to this sudden change, a lot of mixedbloods were not able to move their body fast enough and were hit by the beams.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
About seven people were hit in one go.
Immediately a beam slammed into a person, they’d pass out.
Once their body collided with the ground, it would open up, and their bodies would fall into the opening.
The chubby boy was among the first to be blasted into the ground below.
The girl who had a red aura-like covering on her body could still move about unhindered by the sudden change in the gravitational force.
Sweei! Sweeei!
She dodged the cannons and dashed forward.
Shiiiinnn!
She formed a two-meter-long sickle made of red energy and swung it towards the cannon in front of her.
Swhhhii!
The cannon was smoothly divided in two.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
More participants were still being shot down. Nevertheless, some of the mixedbloods used others as coverings to prevent beams from touching them.
They also attacked the cannons even though their speed was decreased significantly.
In a few minutes, the seventeen cannons had been destroyed. However, only twenty-one participants were left.
After all the cannons were destroyed, the gravitational force returned back to normal.
“Let’s go, Angy,” Gustav said and proceeded to stand up.
Angy was still amazed by what she had just witnessed.
‘He wanted to use them as cannon folder… Was that why he choose to remain here?’ Thinking about it made chills run down her spine.
Gustav never explained the reason for most of his actions, so she was left to speculate.
She was partially right with her thinking.
Since Gustav had a bloodline related to gravity, he already sensed that something weird up ahead.
The cannons underneath the ground were barricaded by something that prevented Gustav’s eyes from seeing through it. Despite the camouflage, he still sensed that it might be a bit dangerous.
Gustav didn’t want to reveal his strength this early, which was the main reason for his actions earlier.
He just needed someone to head forward so he could measure the difficulty level of whatever challenge they were going to face.
This just happened to be an unexpected bonus.
‘Oh well, everything worked out just fine in the end,’ Gustav said while walking side by side with Angy.
Some of the participants stared at him with a look of annoyance.
“You bastard, you knew about this but didn’t tell us anything!” One of them shouted out, just as Gustav and Angy caught up to them.
Gustav, as usual, ignored them and kept walking forward with Angy.
At this point, they were about four hundred feet away from the base of the tower. They could now see the other participants heading towards the base of the tower from the different roads leading to it.
As they closed in on the base of the tower, Gustav noticed that no doors were available. There was practically no entry point to get into the MBO tower.
“Hmm?” Gustav sensed something and quickly moved towards the right.
Zwweeiiii!
He felt an invisible force brush past his face.
Bang!
The invisible force slammed into the face of the person beside him.
“Kyaahh!” Blood burst out of his face as he screamed in pain while being sent flying back by forty feet.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three other participants also had their bodies blasted backwards by invisible forces.
“KIAARRHHH!”
“KIAARRHHH!”
Screams reverberated across the vicinity as the mixedbloods once again engaged forces that they couldn’t see with their eyes.
Swerve! Swerve! Swerve!
Gustav swerved sideways repeatedly like he was dancing.
Angy also did the same while dashing forward.
If a third party was to see them from afar, they would think this group of people had run mad, having no idea that they were currently battling with strange forces.
“For these unknown forces to be invisible, they must be at least level 5… Is the MBO trying to fail people on purpose?” Gustav said while observing his surroundings. He was able to sense the form of the invisible force everyone was battling with.
They had human forms. However, Gustav could sense power crystal energy coming from them, so he figured out that they were Androids.
Gustav suddenly descended, dodging the arm of an invisible AI.
Clasp!
He clenched his fist and threw it upwards as he ascended.
Bang!
He landed a solid hit on the invisible AI, causing it to be blasted into the air while moving backwards.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Ai slammed into three of its kind, creating a path in front for Gustav.
On the side, Angy just finished blasting away an AI after dodging many of them.
Swoooshhh! Swoooshhh!
They both dashed towards the path that was created in front of them, leaving the rest behind.
‘Good thing Angy was able to master the vibration technique I taught her,’ Gustav said internally as they moved towards the base of the tower together.
