Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The asteroids moving around in space were blasted into pieces as a multitude of earthen weapons pierced through them and went after a spaceship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapons ranged from finger-sized nails to mountain-sized spiky spheres. Regardless of their size, they traveled at a speed many times higher than the speed of sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their target, however, was even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To a normal human, it'd appear as if ghost ship was appearing and disappearing as if it was teleporting. Even when it appeared, it'd leave plenty of afterimages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Worms!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice filled with aura and rage reverberated across the space as a burly abyssal chased after the ghost ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was standing on a smooth stone resembling a skateboard and moved at incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't 'see' anything nor could his earth sense perceive the enemy. But thankfully, the tracker revealed their location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abyssal had three marks on his forehead, indicating his strength. Level 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn't just any level 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a snort, his body turned into an earthen state and his speed accelerated greatly. If one were to touch his hand, instead of flesh and bones, they'd only feel rock and soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a special state accessed by elementalists after reaching level 7. In this state, it amplified their strength in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the originally widening distance between ghostship and him shrank. In a minute, he'd be able to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run? How long can you run?\" With a sneer, his figure accelerated further and soon, he could sense a presence in his earth sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gotcha!\" He raised his hand and clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tough black spherical rock enclosed the ghost ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rock was broken apart in an instant and the ghost ship didn't even slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abyssal opened his mouth in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like him, but for a different reason, Varian also opened his mouth in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're sending an abyss archduke against you. Just how much hatred do they have against you?\" Varian asked Enigma with a curious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\" Enigma took a deep breath and didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Flash answered in her stead. \"In the beginning, we had quite a few conflicts with abyssals. But it only escalated after the holy altar destruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian raised a brow. Enigma did gain fame after the incident. To be precise, infamy as the leader of Shadow Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sending an archduke is still too much…\" Varian shook his head and glanced at the security holograms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archduke was still following them, but his speed had considerably slowed down. His body also alternated between the normal state and earthen state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're doing it for the same reason as humans, I think,\" Enigma said lightly. \"To wipe out variables.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too late for asking, but can you do something about the tracker?\" Varian rubbed his forehead and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I try to destroy or remove it, it'd explode, killing me and…destroying everything in a hundred miles radius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was taken aback. \"How about suppressing it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma fell silent for a moment before closing her eyes. Then her aura exploded for a split second before being directed inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body shook fiercely and her black face mask was stained red as blood dripped out of her mouth and nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma clenched her fists and with a suppressed groan, pressed the aura inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" The archduke gawked at the hologram floating in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma's position suddenly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if on cue, the ghost ship accelerated and left the range of his earth sense. Now, he could no longer locate or attack her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa~ Haa~\" Opening her eyes, Enigma's chest heaved up and down as she gripped the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Flash looked at her worriedly, while Varian was introduced to a new Enigma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma wasn't as invulnerable as she seemed. Perhaps, the way she appeared in front of others that way was to maintain the image of a strong leader. Who knew how many hardships she had to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I'm fine.\" Enigma wiped away the blood and said in a low, but firm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master! The abyssal has taken the wrong path.\" Boo exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at Enigma in surprise and she shook her head. \"I am only keeping it forcibly suppressed. The best I can do is a few minutes before it reveals the position again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you keep repeating it?\" Varian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Flash glared at him and wanted to rebuke him. But in the end, she didn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she'd suffer for suppressing the tracker, it's the only way to keep her safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I c-can't.\" Enigma shook her head. \"It takes up too much of my aura. Maybe after two or three hours, if I don't do anything else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian fell silent for a moment before turning to the floating white ghost. \"Any help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo rubbed its chin and looked at Enigma. \"I need to conduct a full-body test. So, please don't use aura to block my scan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma nodded and a blue light scan Enigma from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, Boo said. \"I can't do anything about the treasure itself, but I can delay the signal lightly. It won't be of much use though, only a few seconds difference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How few?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Depends. The closer we're to civilization, the fewer. If we're on a planet or planetoid, I can barely do anything.\" Boo said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Varian was disappointed, he nodded. \"Do it. Something's better than nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, at least we won't be attacked by archdukes.\" Blue Flash said. A few seconds difference coupled with Boo's speed meant they wouldn't be caught. Provided they never stopped moving and provided no abyss kings were involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma suddenly stood up and said in a shaky voice. \"I-I need to rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body continued to tremble fiercely and her aura was growing weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each step she took towards the room, she appeared more and more feeble, as if she was about to collapse at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's happening?\" Blue Flash supported her and gave her a healing potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-It's alright.\" Enigma downed a 9-star healing potion and turned to Varian. \"You can't continue this any longer. I can suppress the tracker for two more minutes at most. Find an isolated place and drop me there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll die.\" Varian spat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I'm here, y-you two will die.\" Enigma glared at him and despite her quivering voice, she said in an adamant tone. \"If A-Abyss Kings interfere, a few s-seconds won't help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will Abyss Kings even come?\" Varian asked but she stubbornly stared back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian sighed and turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given how much abyssals wanted her to die, he wouldn't be surprised if the abyss rulers joined the hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they did, then even with Boo delaying the signal, everything would turn dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghostship wouldn't be able to escape if imprisoned. Then, sooner or later, they'll break in and kill them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian took a deep breath and calmed his racing heart. This was really the first time he faced such troubles after getting ghostship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There'll be a way out.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma shook her head and entered the room, before collapsing onto the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Flash sat beside her and tended to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, for suppressing the treasure, she's bearing terrible pain every second,\" Boo said worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's ten times more painful than getting all bones crushed to powder and she has to bear it every second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\" Varian sucked in a cold breath. When he looked at Enigma again, he had newfound respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She shouldn't die…I won't let her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","0289929c261bf97d88dae00f558b9e84427e64bb5ca909618c3b73b46abaa8d4","divine-path-system-chapter-86","divine-path-system-chapter-85",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
