        Other than the bracelet and Swift boot, Wrik was wearing another artifact, which was more apparent than the other two. It was the white shining armour that you could not even hide it through the dark. He had asked Ryat to paint in some darker colour, but the merchant did not agree. The bald guy only said buy it from him and do what he like to it.

        Wrik really considering buying it. Like he was wondering who would go to steal stuff wearing white? But he had to let go of the thought of hearing the price of the item. It was more than what he had by a long shot, and considering what types of security the armour gave him, the price seemed legit as well. It gave 50% damage reduction in every strike other than any critical hit where the reduction was less. It even has shock wave absorption, which would come great in a concentrated battle.

          Even with all that, it did not come close to what the Bracelet brought. Other than the overwhelming mana revolution acceleration by 200%, the bracelet gave 4 points to mana as well, bringing his total amount of mana by about 50%. And the boots gave 2 points to agility, and the armour gave 2 points in both strength and constitution.

        Wrik felt a lot more powerful than before, just with the addition of the artifacts. Though he needed better control to bring everything out of it, it still felt good to hold the power. With the assistance [Eye of Insights] he might actually bring out most of it than anyone here could.

        "Are you ready?" Ryat asked.

        Putting on the white helmet that hid his entire face, Wrik nodded and went to the non-linear path, and awakened the eye. A light appeared in his eyes and he felt the rush of the power within himself. He limits the ability to the highest to see how much he could bring out. Sweat formed instantly, like it was boiling on fire. He understood he might not be able to stay in this form for more than a few minutes.

        "I am ready," he said and got into position. "Start the countdown."

        "Here we go again," Anton made the call again with far more excitement than before. "3. .. 2. . .1"

        Anton could not even finish as a body moved like a storm with the initial revolution. There was almost no delay at the start, and the speed was far better than any attempt he did before, but there were problems with it too. Wrik did not even see the first 90-degree turn, and he did not even have even a blink of an eye to turn.

        Wrik did not slow down his mana revolution though, but his vision did slow down. He had far more control over the [Eye of Insights], he found out how to use the slow-motion vision. All he had to do was concentrate on his vision while having high adrenaline in his brain.

        He didn't even notice he stepped on the end of the first turn before he rushed again. After covering about 200 metres, he finally had to use his legs for the run. The initial momentum only then slowed after covering one-third of the distance. Now even without the slow-motion view, he could turn at the curve not easily but quite efficiently.

        All he had to worry about was the u-turn. Before the final line. In all his concentration he did not notice the sweat and mana were evaporating in a white, shining aura.

        The U-turn appeared and his narrowed eyes slowed down again, Wrik lunged with his feet before him and kicked the turning wall. A heavy tremor appeared in the wall and a good amount of it was damaged, but Wrik already moved away from there.

        The worst was over and Wrik completed the course, though he could not stop at the end of the line. He went further, about forty metres more, before he could stop.

        Wrik was on his feet at the very moment, breathing like a raging storm. Even his inside was fiery like fire was surging on his body. He did not stop the [Eye of Insights], but used it to calm his mana system and circuit first.

        [Congratulations! Your mana circuit has reached 100% completion.]

        To his calculation, to reach the completion of the mana circuit, he needed at least a month or two with the normal training. In the last month he only progressed by about 3% on the circuit, yet seeing this notification, he knew how godly this artifact was and how much damage it would do to his mana system and his internal organs if he used it for a longer time. Well, this bracelet was here with him for only a few days, so he did not have to worry about overusing it.

        "How did it go?" he asked, finally calming down his mind and inside, though the after effect was still going on.

        "You would not believe it," Anton said, and the three of them came towards Wrik. "Your highest speed on the initial momentum was 251.45km/h, and it carried you for about three whole seconds."

        Wrik released a breath after hearing that. That meant in three-second the initial momentum carried him more than 200 metres. It was four or five times better than without any artefacts. "And the overall score?"

        "You did cross the 100 mark," Anton said and showed him the hologram where the number showed 116.42km/h.

        "Just falling by 5 on your first try," Ryat said. "Get used to it in these couple of days. I would like to see the final result before the operation."

        Wrik nodded and stood up. He needed to rest more to try anything again, and moreover, he was feeling hungry. Just he just thought that Balat appeared in the underground training facilities with plates of food in his arm.

        The middle-aged keeper was far more considerate than he looked. He was the only one who seemed normal in this crew, while Ryat was somewhat normal. But he could not say the same for the other two, Rosie and Nirav.

        "The training is going well assume?" Balat said and distributed the plate on the stone table. There were only three plates though, for the two of them who were training the entire morning and the other person turned out to be Byul.

        Just the moment he mouthed the first bit of the meal, he found out he was far more hungry than he realised, but he did not gobble them up as it would have a problem digesting. These meats were not anything normal. It had high protein and other nutrients that were highly recommended to budding Mahasayer. He chewed them at least thirty times before swallowing. 

        Ryat had not left by the time. He seemed like he has a little more to say about other things. But the bald man waited for them to finish before said looking at Anton. "If there is nothing else, I would like to borrow Ton for some time. There are a few things that I would like to explain to him and rehearse his part another time."

        "That reminded me, you have not mentioned our escape plan yet," Wrik said furrowing his brows. "I think it should be the time to make things clear."

        "I did not?" Ryat tilted his head. "Oh, I only told Nirav and Anton about some part. Guess I'll explain the core of it now." he sat down on the stone table and brought out his omega cube. the hologram of the area where they would steal the thing appeared before the table. 

        "After you successfully secure the item, it is our duty to get you out of the hole," Ryat said. "And we will use a fast method with that. Long-range teleportation. Anton will setup the mechanic for that, while I will be the other end."

        "Wait a minute, what if they seal the region after finding out their precious thing was stollen?" Wrik could not help but ask.

        "That's a valid worry," Ryat said. "In truth, the building where you would be venturing is sealed from any spatial path, but we have our ways too. Nirav would get you out of there. Like your eyes, Nirav had something special as well. That kid could wreak havoc in most of the new age machinery if he got access to it which he already has." 

        Wrik nodded and took a mental note to check that out with Nirav. "So where will be the teleportation point?" he asked. 

        "Anton will set it up here or the closer he could to the red spot," Ryat showed the location the hologram map. "All you have to do is get in two kilometres radius to the setup, and you are safe." 

        "So that means the closer Anton will be to the place, the safer it would be for me," Wrik added. 

        "Yes, while the others will help you two as a backup if some warders or mahasayer came your way," Ryat said. "Do you need any more explanation?" 

        "Another question: where would we be teleported to?"

        "To a place where much higher-level mahasayer have no ways to reach."
