Chapter 1204 The Towering Statues Terrain

Author's Note: Unedited Chapters

-------------------------

"If they wanna steal from us... we'll steal from them instead," Gustav stated.

"Yeeehhaa! Those motherfuck*rs can bring it on!" E.E yelled with fired up spirit. 

"This way we'd also be able to increase the number of eggs we have while others are stealing from one another as well," Aildris also agreed with the decision. 

"Are you up for it?" Gustav asked Falco while placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Of course, why not," Falco responded with a wry smile.

"Good," Gustav voiced.

Falco walked away with a contemplative look to wait for the others outside the iro silk cover.

'Darko where the hell are you?' He wondered internally as he raised his right palm.

("He isn't alright,") The system voiced in Gustav's mind while he deactivated the iro silk.

'I know... but I won't push it unless he asks for my help,' Gustav replied internally.

"Guys shall we?" E.E proceeded to conjure a large vortex.

The group proceeded to move into the vortex and reappeared a great distance away. E.E's spatial abilities had become so powerful that he could open a vortex in space while standing on the surface of a planet.

His range had improved a great deal as well as many other aspects since their time at the oasis.

The group wasted no time in searching for eggs upon arriving at a new environment. This was a sparse forest of frosty trees which happened to have a sloppy terrain.

Gustav's first action was scanning the entire vicinity and telling his teammates which direction to head in to gather eggs.

They soon cleared the area of required colored eggs and moved onto the next. E.E ensured to conjure a vortex that was close to a thousand miles away just to make sure they were away from the vicinity completely. 

Gustav would always make sure to spread his senses around so he could inform the group when there was nothing left.

Occasionally, they came across different participants of other planets but they continued on with their business and only left if Gustav sensed that there was no eggs around.

-

After many hours had gone by, they arrived in another area that happened to be silent and very gloomy. What stood out to them were the massive statue towers arranged in rows and columns across the surroundings.

These statues were around three thousand feet in height and each of them looked similar to handlers with insect like head and antennas that held their eyeballs.

However, each of these frosty statues held on to different weapons each just as massive as they were and Gustav calculated that there were at least tem thousand statues.

Since the statues were lined up in rows and columns, there were passable spaces in between them despite their figures covering up the entire vicinity. 

"Is this ominous to you guys? Or its just me?" E.E broke the silence as they stepped forward. 

"Everything has been ominous since the Viondur challenge began," Falco said. 

"Yes but super ominous it seems like the statues are glaring at us," E.E responded.

"That's because they actually are," Gustav replied causing everyone to show startled looks.

"This is one of thoss challenge areas on ths fourth disk where passing would get us eggs," Elevora seemed to have figured it out.

"She is right. If we don't go around this aeea and decide to pass through, we are technically accepting whatever challenge this place has for us," Gustav responded.

E.E and some of the others didn't realise this because they didn't encounter a similar terrain on their way to the designated point they were supposed to meet up at.

Elevora on the other hand already engaged in some challenges herself. Although it was different from this, she was instantly able to recognise this as one after viewing the similarities. 

"The challenges are not very beneficial since they only grant a single required egg after completion, " Elevora voiced out.

"It wouldn't be very beneficial if it was a single person but we're twenty which also means twenty eggs," Aildris stated.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Twenty required colored eggs would be acquired if they were al successful. 

"Let's go," Gustav instructed.

Everyone began stepping forward while activating their bloodline energies in preparation for what was to come.

The instant they walked pass the middle of the first statues before them, the eyeballs of the statues emitted a bright aqua glow.

Bang! Bang!

Two statues ahead suddenly dropped their arms to the side, slamming their weapons to the ground in between the space in their midst, blocking the path of the group.

Their axes like weapons nstantly emitted frosty fog that spread across the vicinity.

Usually they were unaffected by the intense coldness of the fourth disk, however, once this frost fog spread around, everyone felt their speed decreasing. 

It was like the Frost had seeped into them and began to slow everything in their bodies down, including the flow of bloodline energy from their channels.

"Watch out!" Elevora quickly pushed E.E out of the way as the ground around them suddenly  crumbled and a massive spiky ball shot out of it.

It looked incredibly gigantic but wasn't half the size of the statues around.

"Spread out!" Gustav instructed as he kicked the ball.

Bang!

A loud collision reverberated across the vicinity as it ascended further into the air but then Gustav noticed that half his leg was covered in frost.

"Hng!" He hissed in pain and quickly emitted flames from his body, however the Frost remained.

"Don't touch the ball," Gustav yelled as the ball began descending from the air.

Sphiiiih! Sphiiiih! Sphiiiih! Sphiiiih! 

The massive spiky ball made of frost suddenly multiplied in mid air as it descended. 

"Move now!" Gustav yelled to the others to begin heading forward. 

They split in different directions, avoiding the path that was blocked by the massive axes of the two statues.

[Hover]

Gustav conjured an Atomic blade as he floated a little above the ground while speeding forward in between multiple statues.

Slash!

He swung downwards, cleaving his right leg off.

Plop!

Blood flowed out like a fountain as his leg fell to the frosty sloppy ground and began rolling down.

He hardly flinched as he snapped his fingers, causing a milky glow to fall on his cleaved off leg.

Thisssshhh~

The leg began disintegrating into light particles as he kept flying forward. 

One of the split massive spiky balls followed him from behind as he sped forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Weapons suddenly descended up ahead, blocking the path with the ball still chasing from behind. The surrounding statues also made their weapons descend, blocking the left and the right to cut off escape as more frost spread across the vicinity. 

Thooommm!

Gustav wasted no time in flying upwards so as to go over the spaces left above the weapons that blocked his path.

All of a sudden...

Fwwhii! 

Two statues let go of their weapons and swung their hands backwards. 

Pah!

Gustav was instantly slapped backwards as soon as he reached a particular height.

Thooom!

The spiky ball ascended into the air at this same moment and it seemed like Gustav's catapulted body would slam into it with his back.

Zing!

The Jiko Hakai katana appeared in his grasp in the last instant as he spun a little over and swung his hand downwards to hit the ball so as to completely avoid making contact with it.

Thrrrriiihhh!

In the slight milisecond of the katana blade making contact with the ball, frost spread from it to Gustav's forearm.

Thiiiinnnngghh!

The collision sent the ball tumbling downwards with a metallic echo spreading across the vicinity while Gustav landed a couple of feet behind on his left leg.

[Mental Manipulation Has Been Activated]

'Guys make sure you don't make any sort of contact with the iceball even if you make use of an extendable object,' Gustav quickly warned through mind link.

Vera who was about making use of one of the vines from the forestry surrounding her being to capture a ball, quickly paused. The vines happened to be attached to her body as well so fortunately for her she avoided getting turned into frost like Gustav.

Things were a walk in the park for E.E as he kept conjuring vortexes that sent the balls to another location while he sped away.

He didn't try conjuring a vortex that would take him past the challenge area because they were unaware if that would result in disqualification and he wasn't willing to risk it since they needed the eggs.

Gustav cleaved his entire right arm as he sped to the side and began flying to escape the ice ball and the blocked paths.

"At this point, I'll turn limbless," Gustav voiced as he kept flying forward. 

He quickly arrived at an unblocked area and turned around to resume speeding forward. 

("You could easily destroy the ice ball without making contact but you risk disqualification since it looks like the challenge is to escape them,") The system stated.

"I am aware and you're not helping," Gustav only reason for attacking the balls were to deter them and avoid making any contact.
