Chapter 1874: Arriving A The Volcanic Zone
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The audience panicked as they saw Drake"s entire s.p.a.ceship become engulfed on countless, destructive explosions, engulfed Drake"s entire s.p.a.ceship.
The three s.p.a.ceships behind him pa.s.sed right next to him, bombarding even more explosives, the s.p.a.ceship had ended completely stopping!
The audience panicked even more!
"What"s this?!"
"Has Drake"s family been eliminated already?!"
Prosciutto and Carpaccio were shocked beyond belief as well! Just when Drake was showing promise, he ended... losing?!
However...
FLUOSH!
Amidst the smoke, Drake"s s.p.a.ceship emerged, the entire audience screaming. It was severely destroyed though, with large holes and hanging circuits everywhere.
"Wait! He"s alive, brother!"
"I can"t believe this! They"re fine!"
The two robot siblings gasped and celebrated, the audience went crazy again, but many were disappointed, Drake was now way too behind the others!
The s.p.a.ceship was also really destroyed... although, well, Drake didn"t mind.
The entire thing began regenerating automatically, as countless smaller machines flew around the s.p.a.ceship as it started catching up again.
This, of course, was calculated.
"It worked!"
Drake nodded, as he saw the system notification appear again.
Ding!

He had finally completed the "fall for the trap of three partic.i.p.ants" task!
It was stupid, but it ended working at the end.
Now, it was time to claim the first prize.
"We"re ready, papa!" Kate said.
"Are you sure this was the right thing to do?!" asked the Bullet Demon. "We"re way too far behind now!"
"It doesn"t matter," said Drake. "We"re winning this race."
FLASH!
The s.p.a.ceship was completely loaded with Void Power once more, transforming its shape and form, as everyone inside infused their energies into the sphere.
"Hyper Charge Mode: Activated!"
Kate roared, activating the strongest form of the s.p.a.ceship.
And then...
TRUUUM!
The s.p.a.ceship tore through the fabric of s.p.a.ce for a split second, appearing instantly in front of the trio once more!
"W-What?!"
"No way!"
"Weren"t they dead?!"
Spike John, Ice Queen, and Lightning Mac were all utterly flabbergasted.
And even more when the s.p.a.ceship transformed its back side, firing hundreds of tiny bombs
against them all.
"W-What?!"
"Hey wait a second!"
"No, hold on!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless explosions engulfed the big trio, pushing them back. Their powerful defenses were breached as their s.p.a.ceships received considerable, unrepairable damage.
Unlike Kate"s creation, their s.p.a.ceships couldn"t regenerate after all!
"Second Zone, let"s go!"
Benladra celebrated, as the s.p.a.ceship pierced through the Warp Gate, appearing instantly in another place entirely.
FLUOSH!
It felt like they moved through strange, spatial membranes, skipping through a large part of s.p.a.ce and appearing in another.
It worked differently than teleportation magic which was what Drake used most of the time, and it was quite amazing.
"Wooow! A volcano!" Benladra said, pointing into the distance.
"There"s a lot of them actually..." Miranda noticed.
As they admired the enormous, volcanic landscape while moving forward at lightning speed
while skipping s.p.a.ce from time to time, suddenly...
RUMBLE!
TRUUM! TRUUM! TRUUM!
The gigantic volcanoes everywhere started erupting, firing hot magma everywhere, which
began falling from the sky while being steaming hot!
"Force Fields: On!"
Kate roared, as she and her sister combined their powers to create large forcefields around the s.p.a.ceship, the explosive projectiles from the volcanoes were barely stopped.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, each time they hit them, a huge explosion of flames and magma covered the
s.p.a.ceship"s forcefields, but they were quickly cooled down, as Drake used the element of ice
this time.
"As long as we cool down the magma before it falls completely, we can handle this much
better!"
The magma was indeed cooled down, saving the s.p.a.ceship from being pushed down into the
sea of lava below them...
However, this tactic did not save them from the creatures lurking below.
Rushing through many kilometers, Drake quickly noticed the pilots were catching up with
them again.
Once more, they weren"t fighting each other, creating an alliance just to defeat him.
Alongside that, giant scaled creatures lurked in the lava beneath, swimming around while
watching from below.
"Come back here you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Spike John roared through his s.p.a.ceship"s speaker. "I"ll blow
you up into pieces!"
He fired dozens of tracking missiles towards Drake, at the same time as Lightning Mac infused them with lightning, taking them travel even faster!
"Drake, they"re coming!" Benladann cried.
"I know, wait a bit!" said Drake, glancing down. "Come on, come on... take the bait."
SPLASH!
Suddenly, a gigantic, red-scaled salamander emerged from the lava beneath, opening its
jaws, aiming to eat the s.p.a.ceship whole.
And yet...
It ended shielding them from the missiles, blowing it away instead!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
