People get scared by the unknown. They get extra scared when the unknown is very dangerous. So it is common sense for them to scatter when something unknown and dangerous kills a lot of them in the blink of an eye. They still don't relax after he is gone if they find out that it is the child of the plane that just wrought destruction among them. If he can creep up on them the first time, he can do it again.
The only time he has ever stopped is when he has to. That happened quite often. He would be running when all of a sudden, the world in front of him turns into a fiery inferno. It was always like a wall of fire suddenly appeared to block him. This wall reaches the limit of the sky and is entrenched deep into the rocky ground.
He has to stop if he doesn't want to injure himself. He would simply sign at the sight. Then he would resume running across the devastated ground after the attack is over. There is nothing that he can do about it that won't negatively affect his aim for the divine plane. Besides, this problem is not only his. Everyone in the Arena is suffering from it too. If they care a lot about it, then they should fix it themselves. The odds are that they will fail at it.
Soverick ran and kept his eyes on the rainbow pillar throughout his dash. He kept his eyes on his prize and didn't stop for anything. He saw the rainbow pillar move back and forth as people took it and lost it. There has been a lot of activity with the divine crown but it mostly stayed in the same spot.
"The golems protecting it must be very strong. That is both good and bad." He observed to himself.
The fact that the divine crown has not moved away from its original position means that the golems have always been able to recover the crown. It is a good thing since he won't have to run around the arena like some unfortunate stalker. It is a bad thing because the golems have to be very strong for them to always recover the crown despite the activities around it. They might become a big problem for him when he goes there to get the divine crown.
He didn't let that observation stop him. It isn't pride to believe that he is the person most likely to get the divine crown. It is not because he deserves it. It is because he is the strongest. If he, as the strongest can't get the single most powerful crown guarded by the most powerful golems, then who else has the chance to get it? Maybe Salvos but Salvos will need to contend with him after that. He is probably the only one that can stop Salvos in this competition. Numbers don't matter against him.
Soverick continued on his mad dash towards what can be considered his destiny. Even the strange fluctuations that his brand is producing didn't distract him. The fluctuation is mostly harmless. It only makes people aware of his identity when he is close to others. The other function is unfavorable to him but it is ultimately harmless.
Every beacon starts to glow brighter the closer he gets is them so everyone will know when the child of the plane is coming for their crown. It is an announcement of sorts. He doesn't care about the announcement of his presence. He is inevitable. Nothing can escape him even if they know he is coming for them. He will get what he wants unless he is stopped. Running away will not save them from him.
The fluctuations he is producing can be used to track his location. So the competitors that are too far away from him know which direction he is in. Some decided to use this nifty arrangement to track him. An undercurrent has been moving beneath the conflict for crowns. Some people have issues with Soverick which they hope to hash out during this challenge. It is these people that are very interested in knowing the location of the child of the plane.
People from all over the arena began to converge on his location. He is mostly ignorant of the large mobilization. He is aware of what's going on around him but since no one can keep up with him it doesn't look like people are trying to converge on his location. The arena is massive so despite his ability to sense the things around him with the law matrix, he is not able to figure out the massive amount of people converging toward him.
But he does know to expect a combined attack soon. He knows a lot of people hate him and he has seen enough in the first challenge and the second challenge to expect it. It will probably be this challenge because everyone has been placed in the same arena. People of like minds can come together easily now. There is no barrier in the way of forming a coalition meant to put the child of the plane in his place.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm He met some people on his way. They usually stop as if waiting for something. But they never notice him pass by unless they are close enough to his path to sense him with their divine sense or they are very far from his path to notice the blur. Sometimes they chase after him but he will lose them with his speed. So he didn't worry about anything. Not until he sensed a threat that put his entire being into overdrive. He has to move immediately or he will die.
It happened without any warning. There was no sign or indication of it. But his intuition blazed an alarm like never before. He felt the law matrix becoming turmoil around him. He activated WRAITH OF DEATH: WORLD BREAKER immediately. He took a step forward, his body flashed and he disappeared only for where he was to suddenly become submerged in flames.
