"Wow, I was not expecting this, haha," Melissa chuckled.
"Me too," Rin grinned.
"Me too," Erix laughed and said with a sharp expression. "But we are not done yet. We have four statues, so only forty-six people have golden wings. In the next batch, let's try to collect more golden statues."
"You want to collect more rather than ascending?" Melissa raised her eyebrows.
"Didn't you see people flying and chasing after those with golden wings? Heh," Erix snickered. "Those who don't have golden wings will try to hunt and possibly kill those with golden wings."
"I see," Rin nodded as she rubbed her chin, "to increase their chance of succeeding and passing, they will do their best to lower the number of those who have golden wings. After all, only a hundred of them can pass this race out of five hundred."
"That's true, but we shouldn't have a problem getting away from others with our combined powers," Melissa said.
