Speed Is King
Chapter 94

The combination of Elliot’s and Frosty’s Frost Domains weren’t simply one plus one equals two. It was more like one plus one equals five.

The temperature around them immediately plunged to below freezing point and Jagor Tawlon froze to his death.

[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 72!]

[Ellie has gained 25 levels and reached level 70 for killing a level 120 Mutated Six-Winged Fenix.]

Elliot narrowed his eyes and released his senses completely around a ten meter radius around Jagor Tawlon.

For a few seconds, nothing happened.

And then, from the corner of his eyes, he noticed something black moving slightly.

“Gotcha!” Elliot shouted as he struck as fast as he could with extreme care towards the fist sized thing that appeared very suddenly around three meters away from Jagor Tawlon.

“You got it! Well done!!” Red shouted excitedly in Elliot’s public mindspace.

Elliot immediately nicked the parasitic slug’s body and his own finger to allow their bloods to mix.

A small but sturdy mindspace formed around them and the Shadow Parasite’s stats appeared in Elliot’s mind.

AI Comments: A strong Dark Brainwyrm that had completely controlled two hosts before for several parasitic cycles – Arastar Kilaboom and Jagor Tawlon.

“Human. You’ve revealed our existence to the universe. You will die.” The long-named parasite which Elliot named AraGor in his mind whispered softly but maliciously.

“You’re caught frozen outside of your dead host. I think the one that will be doing the dying is you, AraGor.” Elliot replied with a cold smile. “Of course I am willing to let you live if you become my slave beast. I will release you in ten years. How’s that?”

“You are a native of a destroyed primitive world, yet your vile arrogance and disdain for us parasites are as immense as the rest of the universe. No, human. I will die here under your hands, and you will soon follow me into the underworld when you die under the hands of my brethren.” AraGor said with a chilling certainty.

“Your brethren will need to know about me first before they could even begin to think about killing me.” Elliot chuckled.

He was feeling rather reluctant at having to kill the Dark Brainwyrm which he had so painstakingly trapped and caught. But somehow it seemed extremely certain that it would not submit to him.

“They will know very soon.” AraGor whispered as he began his slow descent into death.

Elliot frowned deeply. A bad premonition began to bloom in his heart.

SPLAT!

[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 77!]

“Damn it! THIS IS BAD!” Elliot shouted in horror as he smelled a unique smell of some sort sinking deep into his flesh.

AraGor had marked him with his body fluids in a vicious suicidal move! And if Elliot’s premonitions were right, the smell emanating from the fluid would attract the attention of all the Brainwyrm infested beasts for many kilometers around them.

“To the river!” Elliot commanded Frosty as the both shot up to the sky in search of a river.

PEW! PEW! PEW!

At that moment, Jagor Tawlon’s men finally found them and opened fire!

“Damn damn damn! I don’t have time to play with these aircrafts!” Elliot cursed. “I need to get to a river as soon as possible to clean up this dead parasite smell before it’s too late! Red! Can you handle these with your ball transport?”

“No problems, pip. Just go while I destroy these cute little babes.” Red’s spiked ball immediately appeared around him and he immediately began his attack on the fighters.

“Come, Frosty! This way!” Elliot spied a river in the distance with his sharp eyes and burst towards it at high speed even as Red’s spiky ball transport crashed into the first fighter and caused it to explode.

[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 78!]

However, Elliot had underestimated the density of the number of infested beasts. He barely flew for a hundred meters when the Mutated Griffons which he had beaten back earlier began to fly towards him once more.

But they were no longer a mere squad of fifteen without a proper leader. At least fifty Mutated Griffons took to the skies and released their ferocious screeches. Worst of all, there was also a giant ten-meter Mutated Griffon leading them.

With white-gold feathers and fur, it looked very majestic and powerful.

SCREEEEEE!!!! It shrieked loudly.

GROOAARRRRR!!!!

A distant reptilian roar sounded in reply. And then a chorus of other loud and fearsome sounds began to fill the air from every single direction as all hell broke loose.

GRAHHH!!! GRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

AWOOOOOOOOOO!!!

GOOOOHHH!! GOOOOOOHHH!!!

UWWEEEHHHHH!!! UWEEEHHHHHH!!!

“What in the hell?” Elliot was astounded at both the strength of the beastial screams being released as well as the variety. “Just how many types of powerful beasts were lurking all around me all this time?”

CRASH!!! BOOM!!

The sound of trees being snapped in two and crashing down to the ground could be heard from several different directions. From his high vantage point in the sky, Elliot spied several humongous and hungry looking beasts making their way towards him.

“Time to go.” Elliot thought grimly. “Frosty, return. Let’s get the hell out of here!”

Frosty immediately obeyed and disappeared.

Elliot picked the direction that would lead him to Lake Elsinore and began to fly towards it as fast as he could.

“I might as well escape and position myself around the Bugatti Jirzon’s landing site at the same time.” Elliot thought.

“Camelia, Kara, stay out of sight for a few days. I’m getting chased by a lot of beasts at the moment. I will shake them off my tail and get back for you girls soon!” Elliot said urgently into his communicator.

“Ok. Don’t worry about us!” Camelia’s immediate response came.

“Roger. Stay safe..” Kara’s voice rang out as well.
