Chapter 285: Twisting Islands [1]

Twisting Islands, Twisted Region:

The name 'Twisted' sounded eerie, however, it was merely a representation of the twisting s.p.a.ces.

Unlike other places, s.p.a.ce here was neither uniform nor constant.

It wasn't uniform in the sense that some places had a far compact s.p.a.ce—the more compact a s.p.a.ce, the harder to move through it.

It wasn't constant. The s.p.a.ce tightened and loosened in periodic intervals.

Even s.p.a.ce Awakeners had a hard time navigating through this region.

It was because of the special creatures that lived in this region—the ones manipulating the s.p.a.ce and also the threat to partic.i.p.ants.

There was a chain of islands in a river a short distance from the sh.o.r.e. In one of the islands, the two partic.i.p.ants faced those threats.

"Roar!"

Caleb felt the s.p.a.ce around him twist. Without hesitation, he teleported away.

Kacha!

In the process, the twisting s.p.a.ce caught his coat.

His 6-star treasure—Astral defense coat was folded as the s.p.a.ce around it quickly compressed.

It wasn't folding in a conventional sense.

It was like…the s.p.a.ce around the coat shrunk and the coat couldn't occupy the s.p.a.ce anymore.

The stable s.p.a.ce destabilized in a split second and his defense coat was compressed to the size of a fist.

Then it burst.

Like a full balloon bursting, the 6-star treasure was blown into pieces as the s.p.a.ce blasted.

"My coat." Caleb cursed and glanced at the culprit standing on a tree far away.

It was a huge grey worm with no eyes. Its skin was translucent and one could see the silvery blood flowing inside.

s.p.a.ce worm.

Level 6 peak.

With its uncanny s.p.a.ce sense, it blasted s.p.a.ce and killed opponents with ease.

Just like it destroyed Caleb's prized defense coat.

"f.u.c.king die!" Caleb's figure disappeared and he appeared on the tree top in an instant.

The s.p.a.ce worm was long gone.

Before Caleb could think, he felt like his chest was crushed from both sides. He instinctively covered himself with s.p.a.ce power and loosened the s.p.a.ce around him.

The s.p.a.ce Worm appeared on another tree top. It was very proficient in hiding its tracks while teleporting.

In fact, Caleb only felt the spatial fluctuations indicating it teleported after he appeared on the tree.

"Die!" However, he wasn't disheartened.

During the time he was busy protecting his chest, he also locked down on the position of the s.p.a.ce worm.

He clenched his fist and the s.p.a.ce around the worm suddenly tightened.

The worm wriggled as it spilled out its s.p.a.ce power and resisted his aggression.

At the same time, the s.p.a.ce behind Caleb cracked.

If he didn't move in time, he'd have to face an unstable and hostile s.p.a.ce rift. The injury would be enough to severely injure him.

"Tsk!" Caleb cursed inwardly and teleported away.

Since the s.p.a.ce was unstable, he had to be extra careful in his teleportation. The s.p.a.ce Worm exploited this and broke his s.p.a.ce binding, quickly teleporting away.

However…

"Got you!" Caleb appeared right before the s.p.a.ce worm and punched its. His fist was covered by solidified s.p.a.ce as it reached for the worm.

The worm wriggled and tried to teleport.

But Caleb firmly solidified the s.p.a.ce and made teleportation nigh impossible.

So, the worm did the next best thing.

"Kuu!" Caleb felt like he was. .h.i.tting star ore as the s.p.a.ce around his arm solidified.

The s.p.a.ce worm decided to decrease the momentum of his arm and make his attack useless.

"Go!" Caleb already antic.i.p.ated this and used his s.p.a.ce power to 'loosen' the s.p.a.ce.

His efforts to loosen resisted the s.p.a.ce worm's efforts to loosen, and the resistance his arm was facing dropped.

"Die!" Right when his fist was about to connect with the s.p.a.ce Worm, Caleb grinned.

As he intended, his fist broke apart the protecting s.p.a.ce layer of the worm and punched it into pieces.

Right at that moment, ma.s.sive s.p.a.ce power fluxed out of the worm.

Caleb's smile instantly disappeared as he hurriedly teleported out.

He appeared a mile away, but he couldn't even stand as he kneeled on the ground, clutching his stomach.

Blood spilled out onto the ground as his fingers traced a small chunk of missing flesh from his waist.

"…Again!" Caleb stood up cursing and took a 6-star healing potion.

He'd have taken something more precious, but for the compet.i.tion, it wasn't allowed.

His bleeding stopped, but he wasn't happy.

Right before its death, the s.p.a.ce worm directed all its s.p.a.ce power to destroy the s.p.a.ce around him.

Thankfully, he reacted in time. But it was still a bit late.

"If I took my time, I could've killed without any injuries." He muttered.

It wasn't just his stomach that was injured, his shoulders, his arms and even his legs had multiple injuries.

"We don't have much time." A girl appeared in the distance and looked down at him with grey eyes.

Her white clothes were now dyed in blood. Other than her multiple injuries, she also added a new injury on her shoulder.

Caleb glanced at her state and grumbled. "If we took another member, we wouldn't have this worry."

Helia squinted her eyes and said. "Not again. The next strongest is a high level 6. She'd only be a drag."

"…whatever. Let's end this already." Caleb waved his hand and looked up.

There was a floating island a mile above. It contained a nest of s.p.a.ce worms.

Caleb and Helia worked hard since the beginning to carefully lure out and kill the s.p.a.ce worms.

If it was a normal hunting operation, they would've been fine.

But the circ.u.mstances were different.

The other three teams of Ashtarh, Sarah and Xavier all had three members.

They would be able to get the flag quickly.

Once they're done, their messengers would quickly search the other places. There's a high chance that one of the teams would come to the Twisting islands.

If Caleb and Helia fought avoiding injuries, they would take far longer. By that time, the other team would've already reached the Twisting Islands.

Helia was sure she couldn't win against Ashtarh and Xavier Teams.

She was, however, confident in defeating Sarah's team. She had fought Sarah before and defeated her.

But…

'Why is that girl who is one year younger than me almost as strong as me?'

This jealousy burned in her heart and morphed into hatred.

"If we take too long, the other teams will come. So, we need to get the flag as soon as possible." Helia said with disgust.

Can't Caleb think of even this simple thing?

'Ashtarh, Xavier, you both declined to join my team. So, when I win, I want to see the look in your eyes.' She gritted her teeth and thought.

"There's only one s.p.a.ce worm left. Let's go." Her figure disappeared and she appeared on the floating island above the original island.
