Is it wrong to try to meet someone in a dungeon?

Runners participating in the competition must abide by two ironclad rules.

You must not look back.

We must not give up easily.

The former is self-evident and a waste of effort.

Although sometimes it can be considered a tactical consideration, turning back will almost always reveal a weakness and embolden the pursuer.

As for the latter, there is no need to say more.

The moment the thought of giving up crosses a runner's mind, it's as if the runner has already declared defeat.

The boy instinctively understood these principles—no, he was simply so focused on saving "her" that he was able to maintain his speed even in adversity.

Third-rate runners run with their feet, second-rate runners run with their strength, and first-rate runners run with their willpower.

As for adventurers, they run on their souls.

Bell decided to burn himself out.

He was determined to burn himself to ashes.

Because he had already seen his destination.

Even in despair, the light (the end) where "she" is is just around the corner.

Since that's the case, I just need to struggle to the very end.

As with the adventure (as before).

Only those who struggle to the very last moment are the winners.

Waiting for the goddess of victory to smile upon you is utter nonsense.

True victory should be earned through one's own two legs.

(Let's go)

I still have the energy.

He wasn't out of breath.

Her legs can still move.

Whether it's the heart, lungs, or legs, they still obey their own commands.

All you need to do now is run to the finish line.

In that instant, Bell seemed to hear the gears in his heart shift up a notch.

I feel like a part of my back is burning.

I feel like I can hear the voice of a young girl (Lily).

"I'm right here." — Bell murmured to himself.

Thus, the boy transformed into a device solely for the purpose of escaping.

"Let's settle this once and for all!!"

Bell and Allen simultaneously entered the final acceleration phase.

"The final sprint has begun! Aa ...

Ibrahim replaced the gong that signaled the start of the war with a roar.

The two sides arrived at the last straight stretch of road before the "House of God".

The boy and the chariot sped across the desolate road laid out between the crumbling ruins.

There were no obstacles along the way, and no one dared to come looking for their own death.

Bell was like a shooting star in the sky, transforming into a beam of light before burning out completely.

"it's useless."

Looking at the almost seamless distance, Allen narrowed his eyes slightly.

(Three steps remaining.)

He felt neither hot-blooded nor furious, and coldly drew his conclusion amidst the oncoming cold wind.

The silver spear is powerful enough to penetrate the enemy's range.

No matter how much the rabbit struggles, it will be crushed by the "tank" within its attack range.

(Two steps.)

The distance has been shortened.

They had already gotten close to the other party's back.

The cat ran directly behind the boy, asking him to help reduce wind resistance and shorten the final distance.

(step.)

Just as he was preparing to attack with his gun, in the name of speed—

"...?"

Allen sensed that something was off.

The attack range of the spear was surprisingly inaccurate.

Did I miscalculate?

So he quickly revised his calculations, preparing to close the gap by two more steps.

"...?"

Alan sensed something was off; he felt something was amiss.

This time the error is even more outrageous.

From two steps to three steps, from three steps to four steps, then five steps, six steps, seven steps, eight steps, nine steps, ten steps—the gap only increased!

What should not exist as a gap has become an "unshakeable distance," widening further and further!

(Hey!)

The silver spear began to tremble.

(Wait a minute—)

Cracks gradually appeared on the wheels.

(Don't joke around!)

The twilight sky was turbulent.

"—You!?"

The moment Allen realized that the distance between them was gradually increasing, he stared in astonishment.

"That was too fast! Aa ...

When the gods witnessed the white light speeding by, they all cried out in alarm.

Their footsteps were swifter than lightning, and they whistled through the air as they sped away.

After receiving further acceleration, even the pupils that were focused straight ahead turned into a deep red afterimage.

At that very moment, Bell's top speed did indeed surpass Allen's maximum speed.

The city is quickly left far behind by the fastest speed in the lower realm.

"Are you kidding me?!"

The world's fastest white rabbit (record holder) – [White Rabbit Feet]!!

Enraged, Allen's eyes turned bloodshot.

It’s simply baffling!

This is utterly absurd!

The moment Bell entered "escape" mode, his speed increased dramatically in an instant!

"What on earth happened!?"

"I don't know! But...!!"

Loki and Hermes sprang up from their seats as if they had been thrown up.

"Charge!!"

Bert clenched his fist.

"Charge! Charge ...

Tiona shook off her sister (Tione) who was blocking her way and lay down on the "mirror".

"Bell!!"

Ais called out loudly.

"Bell!!"

Eina cried out.

"Charge! Aa ...

Hestia delivered her support (power) to the boy in a grand finale.

After receiving the goddess's heartfelt message, Bell put in even more effort to increase his speed once again.

"Damn it!?!"

No matter how much Allen cursed and yelled, he couldn't catch up with Bell, and even with all his might, he couldn't succeed.

His hands swung vigorously, his stride was incredibly wide, and every time he lifted his foot, he would kick the sole of his thigh.

And the receding figure.

The "despair" that even the fastest Allen had never experienced before was now staring him in the face.

"Lord Eren!?"

"And... Bell!?"

Upon hearing the sound of speeding vehicles, Freya's guards rushed outside simultaneously.

They ran down the long staircase that stretched from the "House of God" all the way to the foot of the mountain, and were then completely stunned by what they saw.

"—!! Lasker! Emilia!! Sing immediately!"

The fighting cat immediately turned its despair into anger and gave a stern order.

With the "House of God" in sight, Allen realized that Bell, who was currently faster than him, could easily break through the guards' defenses, so he gave the order to fire.

"Golden wheels, silver collar!"

Allen felt a surge of murderous intent and hatred towards himself for issuing such an absurd order, and he abandoned all restraint.

Even if it meant losing the war itself, he was determined to win. Feeling utterly humiliated, he began to chant.

【Glenezer Fromor】—This is the magic that transformed him into the fastest chariot.

If this move is used, a single shot can pierce through Bear Grylls's back.

"—[Ride forth carrying the divine will of the goddess!]!"

We are less than 50 meters away from the "House of God," but we are sure we can make it in time.

In order to crush Bell in one fell swoop, Allen had to slow down slightly due to the incantation, and just as he was about to complete the "magic"—

"Burn away completely, external practices."

The next instant, Allen and his crew members were blasted away.

"Ahem──!?"

"Aa ...

All the guards who were preparing to unleash magic at Allen's command suddenly turned into bombs.

Magical explosion (ignis fatuus).
