Seena's complaining voice, mixed with her own spiritual power, spread out!

The aura of a Ninth Tier Mage surged and echoed through the nearby snow-covered forest, making the magical beasts that had just woken from hibernation shiver even more!

The four people ahead who heard this voice also, with perfect synchronization, all increased their speed a little!

The speed race ahead had reached a certain critical point!

The group had already decided to determine a winner in a short amount of time!!

Not only because Seena's stamina was running a bit low!

But also because, within their perception, their casual and arrogant speed race had already awakened quite a few powerful magical beasts hibernating in the snow-covered forest!!

The commotion they caused was too great!

This natural wilderness was a paradise for magical beasts to inhabit!

And their speed race was disturbing the tranquility of this paradise! It might even lure out some unknown big fellows...

"Final sprint of ten thousand meters!!! Let's see who's number one among us!!!"

Cook P. Jones's voice traveled far into everyone's ears.

At this moment, he was also in second place in the speed race!!

First place was Hankley, who was running using wind elements!

A Ninth Tier Ranger still held a certain advantage in this kind of forest environment!

Loren, blessed by Fortune, was currently in third place, and he even had an excited look on his face!!

Tannas, with his body of robust muscles, was in fourth place!

Clearly, speed was not his strong suit; he was more suited to being a frontline Priest...

The unlucky Seena was relegated to 5th place.

Although she was forced to participate in this impromptu speed race just to not fall behind, she still unleashed her limit!

Of course, it was her limit for cursing, not anything else!

Usually elegant, upon hearing about the final ten-thousand-meter sprint, she had already started cursing out Cook P. Jones...

And the content of her curses had already made the other three men unable to help but furrow their brows.

Quite difficult to ignore, stimulating words...

Women truly were a very peculiar type of creature, even if they were Ninth Tier Mages...

It made the men blush!

As for the protagonist being cursed, Cook P. Jones had already silently used mud-like "shadow" to plug his own ears...

He was afraid that if he kept listening, he wouldn't be able to resist doing something to Seena...

As Cook P. Jones sealed off his hearing, he also began his final acceleration charge!!

Hankley, with his perception fully open, upon detecting his intent to overtake, silently wrapped a bit more wind element around himself!

"This is only half my true strength! Boss Cook! Can you even keep up?!"

A teasing, provocative voice came from the snowy mist ahead.

The people behind, hearing this, all sneered coldly!

Silently beginning their sprint!

If not for the fact that the aura around you is already a bit disordered, I might have actually believed your nonsense...

Loren, in third place, even had the leisure to mutter a complaint.

As the group accelerated into their sprint, that mere final ten-thousand-meter distance was almost upon them!

The champion of this speed race was finally about to be decided!

In this kind of impromptu competition among men, second place and last place weren't really that different...

Right then!

A sudden change occurred in the snow-covered forest!

Just as the group was about to determine the champion, in the sky that was neither fully light nor fully dark, a massive silver magic circle instantly appeared!!

"Boom!!"

A huge, massive figure suddenly fell from the magic circle, directly blocking Hankley's path ahead!!

"Stop!!! Humans from outside the forest!!!"

"You have disturbed the natural tranquility of this place!!!"

An angry roar came from this massive figure!!

As this roar rang out!

The sky also happened to change color!

Dawn arrived, the night completely receded!

The sun, on the horizon! revealed a sliver of golden light!!

The sharp, fierce aura around Cook P. Jones also quietly dropped a notch.

From a "Powerful Individual," he became a person who "looks very strong"!

Hankley, at the very front, under the obstruction of that suddenly appearing massive figure, quite obediently stopped his own steps...

And stood properly!

His perception, opened to the maximum, had already confirmed it—this was someone he couldn't defeat...

Oh! No, it was a dragon he couldn't defeat...

That "suddenly appearing massive figure"! Was a silver dragon nearly a kilometer tall!!

From Hankley's Ranger perception and his transcendent common sense, the other party didn't seem like a dragon of the "Legendary Tier"...

The other party's body, like a great mountain, was covered in beautiful and thick silver scales!

Just seeing those silver scales, Hankley felt that even if he used all his means, it would be difficult to leave even a scratch on them!!

The four dragon horns on its head curved and coiled into a shape resembling a "crown"...

The silver wings behind it, a full several kilometers wide, even when gently spread!!

Were like two silver skies! Blocking out the sun and sky!

Like the domain of a deity, gracefully unfurled!

Cook P. Jones, in second place, seeing the appearance of this silver dragon!

Also abruptly narrowed his pupils!

He hadn't seen this big fellow last time he was here...

His mind racing, he also quickly stopped and very obediently stood next to Hankley...

The two of them were like two elementary school students who had made a mistake!

Although they knew the commotion from the race might lure out some "big fellows," clearly, neither of them had ever imagined it would be this level of "big fellow"...

Why would a silver dragon of this level come to stop their fooling around??!!

This question flashed simultaneously in the hearts of Cook P. Jones and Hankley as they obediently stood still.

Right then.

Third and fourth place in the speed race, where the gap wasn't large, also arrived beside the two men!

Just when all the intelligent beings present thought these two would also obediently stop!

One figure directly passed by Cook P. Jones and Hankley!

Continuing forward without slowing down!!!

"Come back! Mr. Loren! What are you doing?!"

This was Cook P. Jones's anxious voice!

"Stop quickly!!"

This was Hankley's voice trying to stop him!

"Noble Silver Dragon Majesty, please forgive my companion's offense! He might... just... be overly eager to win??"

Tannas, who had stopped beside Cook P. Jones and Hankley, while expressing apologies to the massive silver dragon figure, took out a rather solemn Priest's robe from his spatial storage device and put it on!

On the chest of this pure white Priest's robe was prominently imprinted a mark of the "God of Life"!

Clearly.

At this special moment, Tannas's action of putting on the solemn Priest's robe spoke for itself...

He was subtly reminding the other party.

Noble Silver Dragon Majesty, I have the God of Life standing behind me, please restrain yourself! Thank you.
