Chapter 1845: Race

The gate stood open before them. Jinkan, leading the group, wasted no time and urged them to dive into the tunnels where multiple portals awaited their exploration. It was a frenzied race, with the coveted 1000 golden medals up for grabs, yet more than 2000 magus sought to claim them.

Their group lagged slightly behind the others in this frantic pursuit. However, as they flew through the tunnel, Uria Alabaster, the Spirit Master, had already ventured ahead. He had chosen to dive in earlier to observe the movements of the magus. Now, he pointed out a few unentered portals and proposed a question, "Should we split the group?"

Exploring the untouched portals would provide an initial advantage. But Jinkan, after careful consideration, shook her head and firmly declared, "No, we stick together." She selected one of the portals and deployed multiple drones into the others for observation.

As they prepared to enter the chosen portal, Emery couldn't help but notice that three dark elves were following them closely, their eyes fixated on him. Concerned, Emery brought this to Jinkan's attention, but she calmly responded, "Don't worry, let them follow."

Emery comprehended the situation. It was evident that, at this stage of the expedition, the dark elves couldn't afford to waste too much time dealing with his group. All were desperate searching for the limited number of medals required to access the next layer. Even if some dark elves were more interested in the bounty than the medals, Emery's group of 30 magus was too numerous to confront directly.

However, this realization came with a sense of urgency. The fact that the dark elves spared some of their magus to tail them indicated that these elves might come for them as soon as they had acquired enough gold medals. Emery understood that they couldn't afford to linger. The group needed to act swiftly.

As they stepped into the chosen vault, Jinkan wasted no time and declared, "Let's clear this one fast!"

Just as they had done in previous temples, Uria quickly identified the nearest one, and Emery immediately opened a portal for their group of 30. With practiced efficiency, they charged into battle, wasting no time in engaging the champion knight guarding the temple.

Their improved teamwork and battle strategies allowed them to dispatch the celestial guardian in record time, clearing the temple in under 20 minutes and earning themselves two coveted golden medals as rewards.

With the temple conquered, Jinkan's drones had already pinpointed the locations of the remaining two temples, and Emery had a portal ready for their next destination.

After five days of fighting side by side, their coordination and teamwork had improved significantly. However, despite their growing synergy, Emery's dark-infused blades, augmented by his staggering 600 battle power, remained their foremost source of damage and offensive power.

Their visit to the second temple was equally successful, yielding a satisfying three golden medals. However, as they made their way towards the third temple, Jinkan's drones detected the presence of another group—15 magus from a third-grade faction known as the Xian faction. This was one of the groups that had offered assistance when the dark elves had posed a threat to Emery.

The Xian faction inquired about sharing the temple, but Jinkan's response was a resolute and uncompromising "No." The sheer prestige and authority of the Nephilim faction were enough to send these magus on their way without any further objections.

Their swift and efficient teamwork allowed them to clear the third temple in just 20 minutes, and they received the following notifications:

All three temples within this vault had yielded a total of seven gold medals, a significant boost to their collection.

Jinkan wasted no time and urged her team forward. "Let's hurry to the next vault,"

As an hour and a half passed, the drones that had been dispatched earlier had provided valuable information. Three of them had been destroyed during their reconnaissance, and two of them had reported the presence of the Imperium faction and Oculus faction Dark magus. One drone had observed dark elves roaming its selected vault, and fortunately, another had returned with the news of an empty vault.

Jinkan swiftly decided to lead her group into this particular vault,

They repeated their efficient process, but as they completed the first temple, they were met with an unexpected encounter. Another group had arrived in the vault, and it was none other than Linhao's group of 30 magus. Annoyingly, their discovery of this vault was attributed to the Amerhiks prince tapping into Jinkan's drone feeds.

Linhao addressed Jinkan, a wry smile on his face. "You won't mind giving up this temple for us, step-sister?

Jinkan remained composed and decided to yield the temple to Linhao's group. She didn't want to waste time or engage in unnecessary conflicts. Instead of leaving the vault entirely, she instructed Emery to open the path to the third temple. Before Linhao could react, Jinkan's group had already cleared the temple, efficiently and swiftly.

After the initial rush and competition to secure the first 11 gold medals within the first three hours, the group found themselves facing a new challenge. Their sources of information regarding unexplored temples had run dry, leaving them with no clear leads. To make progress, they had no choice but to delve deeper into the intricate maze of the celestial ruins.

Over the next three hours, the group encountered constant clashes and conflicts with other magus parties. All were determined to secure the remaining gold medals.

They navigated the maze with caution, using Uria's guidance to avoid dead ends and locate potential temples. Emery's spatial magic facilitated their movement through the ruins, allowing them to respond quickly to threats and opportunities.

After three hours of exploration and battles, the group located and successfully cleared two more temples. This accomplishment brought their total count to 15 gold medals, marking it as a significant achievement. They had secured half of the needed medals for their group, the minimum target they aiming for.

The Nephilim's data analysis indicated that approximately 80% of the gold medals available within the vault had already been collected by various magus groups. This statistic underscored the urgency of their situation. With a limited number of medals remaining, competition for the precious artifacts had reached a fever pitch and battle seemed to be inevitable.
