Chapter 2109 Speed Run
Dayus kept on search for the rest of the day and found a few more beasts with his spear. Both in terms of the sheer number and in terms of his own personal goal, he is at a satisfactory level.
Sam on the other hand, just focused on examining this place and he even gained a lot of insights on the possible conjuring spots of the elemental creatures.
He even gained inspiration for some training areas that he could use in Dusk.
By the end of the day, he still hadn't noticed any anomaly regarding the legacy inheritance though. If only he could meet Dayus once, but he knew that it will be very hard to meet him until the third day and there is a chance that it could be too late before that. The whole day passed with him mulling over those thoughts.
There was no day or night in the pocket dimension, but everyone was clearly aware of how much time they spent here. Even if they didn't the dimension had a special way to remind them.
At the end of the first day, the time that marked the midnight of the first day...
*DING*
*DING*
*DING*
A huge bell sound could be heard all over the pocket dimension.
Everyone looked at the huge glowing sun that was over up in the sky. That's where the sound came.
After the sound, the sun showed a few names in the sky.
White- 485 kills - 4 stars
Dayus- 470 kills - 4 stars
Night Ghost- 468 Kills - 4 stars
Five elemental king - 460 - 4 stars
...
...
...
The leaderboard was announced. Everyone with a mediocre intelligence can understand how the starts being measured. Every hundred kills conjured a star. Only the top ten were announced though and Sam's name was nowhere to be seen. Apart from White and Dayus, the rest of them were all his friends.

Sam looked at the three orbs that are floating around.
Two of them were bigger than the third one. He only had two hundred and sixty kills. But Sam wasn't dejected. In fact, he would have been surprised if he ranked in the top ten at his pace. He was also surprised to see that the different between his score and the top scores was only two hundred kills.
Its like he was a kid on a sea shore. Picking up the sea shells after a very generous high tide.
They felt even the pocket dimension is favoring him.
Sam continued for a while and after the first thirty minutes, he finally found an anomaly that he was looking for.
One thing he noticed about the manifestation of the creatures was that the energy concentration as the places they manifested has always been constant. The energy was same for the wolf, alligator, the wild cat.
And when the day changed, the energy and in turn the strength of all these creatures increased a bit. But even then, there is one thing in common. All of them possessed same level of energy and strength. However, at one particular spot, he noticed that the energy concentration has become higher.
And he deactivated the fusion for a moment to take activate his energy vision once again. He threw a small attack at the spot making the creature awaken. It was a wolf, it looked just like the ones he killed before.
Even the strength felt the same.
At least for the most part. His observant nature and his sensitivity to the energy made him thing otherwise though. The energy concentration of this creature is definitely higher than the rest. On top of that, there is one more difference.
The spot where the star fragment was located, it is glowing with a bright red color instead of the usual glow he saw since the start of the dimension.
This creature is definitely different.
*SWISH*
Sam cut its head off and the fragment merged with his incomplete star fragment. He focused his energy vision on it. To his surprise the white colored regular glow didn't increase, instead within the orb a smaller orb was created with bright red color.
Sam couldn't help but smirk. He is sure that he came up on with something.
*CRACK*
His joints popped as he stretched as a bit and activated the fusion again.
Now, the true hunt began.
The participants saw a golden flash moving past them. That is all, and the surrounding area experienced a sudden decrease in the appearance of the creatures. At the same time, within that hour, a change happened in the leaderboard.
Sam's score kept on increasing bit by bit and he arrived at the top ten. At the same time, he already gathered ten creatures with these red colored star fragments. The small orb within the star is increasing in its size and it is becoming more full.
Even though everyone was trying their best to kill their way into increasing their ranking, Sam's speed was too much for anyone to catch up and even for the top rankers to keep their place in check.
Dayus who saw the leaderboard change, frowned.
"It seems like he is solely focusing on the game. I was a bit anxious, when I didn't see his name there."
That's right, Dayus was anxious instead of happy when he saw his own name on the leaderboard without Sam's name. He is not an idiot to believe that Sam is not strong enough or doesn't have enough skills and means to increase his ranking.
He was afraid that Sam might have been in search of the legacy inheritance.
