Chapter 535 Saltz Master Showing His Hand.
'Where did this bastard go?' Felix frowned his eyebrows while activating his infra-ray vision. After another full sweep, he still didn't spot him.
'Don't tell me he is above me?!'
Felix looked back immediately and was met with the sight of those five players going through the 1st teleportation circle...Still, no sight of Saltz Master.
'He can't just disappear into thin air.' Felix knew that Saltz Master must have used some sort of an ability to conceal himself. Hence, he kept inspecting everything thoroughly in his line of sight.
Yet, he ended up empty-handed again.
'This is a little bit worrisome.' Felix would be lying if he said that he wasn't spooked.
One of the most dangerous players in the game had gone completely invisible.
Just the thought of it sent shivers down his spine as he felt like Saltz Master could pop out anytime behind him and stab him.
Most of the players didn't notice Saltz Master's disappearance since they were focused on the race, unlike Felix who had a bet to win.
Meanwhile, Kayn and the viewers were the only ones with knowledge about Saltz Master's current whereabouts.
"Unbelievable, Saltz Master actually took advantage of the previous chaotic situation to cast a shadow on the Orc, Heavy Punch!"
Kayn commentated in admiration while highlighting the hidden play that Saltz Master had pulled off when everyone's attention was on Krialder and Sensation.
It could be seen on the screen that he had cast a shadow on the Orc's back and somewhat teleported to that shadow!
When the Orc entered the teleportation circle, Saltz Master had been taken with him!
Since he ended up luckily being tens of kilometers away from the pack, Saltz Master had benefited from it the most!
The best part?
The f*cking Orc was still charmed, making Saltz Master continue staying connected to him like his own shadow without him noticing anything peculiar!
If it wasn't for Sensation's mental control, Saltz Master would be sensed instantly by the Orc!
"His plan is indeed quite wicked, but how long is he going to remain connected with Heavy Punch?" Kayn wondered while showing the viewers how the Orc kept spinning randomly due to his unbalanced state.
Since he was under a heavy dose of mental control, he couldn't fix his posture at all. This resulted in Saltz Master feeling everything in his shadow form!
"Isn't it better to detach and nose-dive? He will be much faster this way." Sophia asked while tilting her head in confusion.
"True, and he wouldn't need to deal with the wild spinning." Kenny agreed, "He must be extremely dizzy now."
"I don't care about any of this!" Olivia booed at the stream and chanted with her tiny fist in the air, "Switch to Felix! Switch to Felix!..."
Alas, George and the rest ignored her chants and continued their discussion on Saltz Master's peculiar plans.
Yet, no matter how long they discuss, they could never find out Saltz Master's true aim!
...
Minutes went by in the race without anyone making sudden moves. Even when they reached the teleportation circles, they simply ignored them and continued diving normally.
No one was a moron to make such a risky move since any teleportation they take now has the possibility to send them back to the first teleportation circle.
Since they had already entered it before, they wouldn't be able to use it again.
Hence, they would be left at the far back with almost no chance of winning the game unless everyone died somewhat.
