Speed Is King

Chapter 62



Elliot glanced at Camelia, and caught her looking at him with her beautiful round eyes.

Camelia immediately blushed and looked away.

PEW! PEW! She shot at two random spiders who weren’t quite dead yet and brought them firmly through death’s door.

PEW! PEW! Another two half-dead beasts were professionally ushered through as well.

Elliot grinned as he stared at the beautiful Camelia who was sitting on top of Brock for a moment longer before firing his own laser gun at a few wiggling beasts on the ground near him.

They were slowly making their way back to the city, and had to pass by the wide open space between the forest and the North Gate where Elliot and his beasts had carried out but failed to complete a massacre earlier.

It was a stain on their honor as earth’s native beasts to leave so many alien beasts alive when they had the power to obliterate them, so they made very sure to complete the massacre to perfection on their way back.

And because of their honor, (and definitely because they knew the yellow tentacled beast was busy chasing after the Armored Kaijin Matriarch) Brock, Winter and the rest insisted on travelling slowly and making as much noise as possible to attract as many other alien beasts to their position as possible so that they could give them a proper Earth greeting.

The result was an entire field of dead beasts – mutated giant spiders and an assortment of many other types of alien beasts.

And of course, the most important result by far, was an incredible level 60 for Elliot.

He had unlocked a new set of skills at level 50, and he had a lot of fun trying out all the different summons.

His character status page was also extremely impressive.

With Elliot’s insane luck stat and his hidden advanced stat: Fortune, Elliot was able to get much, much more value using Mystery Boxes instead of outright purchasing stats at 0.1 stat per 1 point.

The result was his extremely impressive physical status at that moment.

If he had to fight the five legendary beasts again, he was really sure he and his beasts would be able to come out relatively unscathed by the end of it.

However, he would still be beyond helpless in front of Rak’Tharos. Elliot knew that, and he focused his mind on that thought, refusing to get complacent over his relatively quick increase in strength.

“The key is still winning those monthly races.” Elliot said to himself. “The rewards from winning those races are too good to give up. New sponsors, new skills, new power ups, and new weapons. And to win that first race, I will need to get my hands on the Bugatti Jirzon. Where? Where did he say he found it? I am sure he mentioned it before.”

Elliot frowned and tried to remember where the previous owner had boasted he found the Jirzon.

“It was a lake. A sleepy lake. Lake’¦ Snore! Lake Elsinore! Yes! That’s it! Lake Elsinore! That Bugatti Jirzon would be dropped somewhere near its main marketplace!”

Elliot’s eyes gleamed in excitement. With that Bugatti Jirzon, the first mega drag race was as good as his.

If things happened similarly compared to the previous iteration, then the USA would have 1.5 million survivors by the end of the first week.

There would be 50 races held in the first month, spread out across all 50 states, and the Californian race would take place on the Pacific Coast Highway.

The new Pacific Coast Highway, of course.

The energy beams unleashed by the aliens’ main battlecruisers had completely levelled Los Angeles and its surroundings.

Their terraforming team had created a city-size, 10-lane race track with a 10-km straightway where Los Angeles once was and called it the Pacific Coast Highway.

Almost ten thousand racers from all over the state would make their way towards the Pacific Coast Highway in all sorts of cars which the aliens had dropped.

Audis, Volvos, Ferraris, Lambos, Bugattis, Koenegsiggs, Jaguars, Toyotas, Hondas, you name it.

However, only one thousand would make it to the race track alive.

Only the lucky ones and the powerful groups were able to reach the race site. And even then, the peril was not over.

Although the alien beasts and fugitives were forbidden to kill or make any moves against the natives on race day, the race itself had no lack of danger.

Only less than a hundred would finish the race.

It was a bloody, ruthless and absolutely horrific survival racing at its raw-est form.

And the alien viewers loved it.

Elliot checked his map, and found that he would only require a day or two to reach Lake Elsinore. He still had a lot of time to get there before the car drops began.

“I will continue to level up, get stronger, and then give the aliens a race they will never forget..” Elliot vowed as the beginnings of an insane plan began to appear in his mind.
