Chapter 68: The Race 2

After getting over the first shock Samael now calmly threw grenades at the cars one after another.

Seeing this, Morana could now fully concentrate on driving while giving Samael new weapons to use when the previous one was no longer useful.

Because the participants here weren't just normal humans the weapons could still harm them but it was not as useful as against normal humans, especially after becoming familiar with them.

They still managed to leave behind other cars quite a bit, so Morana returned Samael back to his place.

And it was finally time.

"Hold tight, both of you."She said and the next second gave the system of the car her next order.

"Turn to full speed." Just as her words fell the car rushed like a rocket. A few minutes later Morana could feel the toll of the merge, her sight was also becoming blurry, but she knew she had to hold on as autopilot couldn't be turned on when they moved full speed.

Samael noticed her struggle and couldn't help but worry. All his energy and attention were constantly on her.

At that moment Morana felt a threat coming from behind and within seconds moved the car to the left avoiding the laser beam directed at them.

"Seems like others also found the use for the car's special features." Said Samael.

The other drivers had no way to catch up with them because of the speed but it didn't stop them from blindly throwing everything they had their way.

Because Morana had to drive the car at full speed she had to turn off the car's defense system, so at this moment all they could do was to evade the attacks directed at them.

Morana knew that if things went like this they wouldn't be able to last too long and even though she could use her space ability to directly teleport the car she didn't want to expose her abilities just yet.

"Can you use your lightning ability at this speed?" She knew that even though Samael was strong he was still injured and not at best state, moreover, the lightning ability wasn't his best out of all the affinities.

"I can use it but I can't guarantee that I won't miss the target." He said truthfully.

"That's fine, I don't want you to hit the target anyway." She said with a meaningful grin, then she turned to Emily.

"You have the ability to create illusions, don't you?"

Her question managed to earn a surprised and admiring expression from Emily once again, but she didn't deny the claim.

"What are the conditions to make the illusion work?" She asked once again.

"It won't work on people with better perception or on people who have the same or stronger strength than me, for the illusion to work I would need some kind of cover, so the people you want to use the illusion on can't see my actions," Said Emily.

A few minutes later

After making sure that both Samael and Emily knew what to do, Morana commanded the car's system to turn off the full-speed mode and the car started to significantly slow down.

As expected the other cars didn't let go of the opportunity and reacted quickly. Soon they started to catch up to them.

"They are almost here." Said Emily.

"Wait for it" Morana didn't look bothered at the fact that other cars were catching up to them, just in case this plan didn't work she already had another one.

The distance now was less than 100 meters.

90 meters

80 meters

60 meters

50 meters

"The distance is now only 30 meters. They are very close." Said Emily anxiously.

"Wait for my command."

25 meters

20 meters

"NOW." Called Morana when the distance between her and the other cars became less than 20 meters.

As she finished speaking Samael mobilized his powers and started indiscriminately shooting lightning and fire at the other cars. In front of them behind them.

Some hit the target others just created explosions and dust on the road, making it impossible to see anything including Morana's car.

Loud noises of the cars crashing into each other could be heard

After the dust cleared up and the car once again became visible, the other drivers started frantically chasing and attacking them.

At the same time, no one noticed the camouflaged flying car in the air advancing towards the finish line at a fast speed.

While Samael and Emily were trying to keep up the illusion, Morana had turned on the autopilot and was now laying back on the seat, exhausted and once again blind.

But the job was not yet done. At Morana's command, Emily created the illusion that the attacks worked and the car was in flames, fully destroyed, while at the same time she also created the illusion of their deaths, making the other drivers breathe out in relief.

And so their unspoken alliance came to an end and now they started attacking each other. 

As no more dark horses appeared in the race they advanced to the finish line quite steadily. 

Unfortunately, their happiness was bound to be short-lived. They were just 100 meters away from the finish line, when out of nowhere, a flying car appeared on the road just after landing and turned off the camouflage mode, and crossed the line first, right before everyone's eyes. Therefore, winning the race and leaving everyone baffled including the audience and the host of the game.

After the end of the race, other teams started arguing that they cheated, it only infuriated them more when Morana completely ignored them and fell asleep in Samael's arms.

Just as the fight was about to break out James, the host of the game stepped in ending the conflict.
