My Space-Time System

Chapter 191: Ambush (2)

His job wasn\'t yet over so he had to keep up with the act of a researcher till he was dead.

"Judging from the number of webs, I would say a within 20 to 50 meters." The researcher said.

"Alright, that will be enough from you." Blake said.

"Wait. What?" The lead researcher was confused by Blake\'s words, but when he turned to him he was shocked to see a katana with a mirage effect coming his way.

THUD!

The researcher\'s shocked head dropped to the floor followed by his lifeless body, but Blake didn\'t even care to look back as he continued forward.

\'Alright guys, I have better things to be doing, so let\'s end this quickly.\' Blake thought as he saw the 5 masked men that were on tree branches.

"I don\'t know how you knew we were here, but I will give you a chance, why don\'t you surrender yourself and we will make your death painless." One of the masked men said.

"And oh, don\'t border calling your amour or any other thing, you are in a dimension sealing array." The masked mercenary chuckled as he waited to see the despair in the eyes of the adventurer as he realized he was about to die, but it never came.

Instead, it was the expression of someone who was running out of time and had somewhere to be.

"…" Ignoring the words of the masked man, a void dagger appeared in his hands and he threw it right at the masked man who seemed leader.

\'Huh?\' Although he was shocked that array wasn\'t working on Blake, he easily dodged the void dagger by moving to the side.

"Nice try." The masked man smirked, but he had no idea that his action marked his end.

Void shift!

Blake fell into a spatial corridor disappearing from their sight.

Seeing this, the mercenaries pulled out a true seeking potion which countered the effects of invisibility, but that was when they heard the scream of their leader.

Blake had appeared right behind the leader and used a space mana-infused Reaper to decapitate him in one fell swoop.

Not giving them a chance to react, Blake jumped out of the tree branch, and while in mid-air he threw a void dagger at one of the mercenaries.

Not knowing how the daggers worked, the mercenary decided to dodge the dagger and prepare spells in case Blake mysteriously appeared.

\'Gotcha!\'

Blake fell headfirst into the ground and through a spatial corridor and appeared behind the mercenary, but this time arcs of electricity were dancing all around his body, and in his 2 hands were Ebony and Ivory.

With one swipe, Blake cut through the plant vines and sword the mercenary had raised, sending his shocked head flying.

Blake didn\'t stop there, he took in a deep breath, activating the effects of the Raiju breathing technique before dashing towards another mercenary.

After watching how his friends died so easily, the mercenaries had learnt that blocking wasn\'t an option. So, he planned on keeping his distance while kiting him.

Using short flamebursts to maneuver through the trees, the mercenary shot different fire spells at the fast-approaching Blake.

Using the lightning reinforcement and the effects of the Raiju breathing technique, Blake moved at a blinding speed. It made the mercenary think making sharp turns would save him, but to his utmost surprise, Blake also used the same technique.

\'Shit!\' The mercenary cursed as he joined both hands and fired a flame burst twice the normal size, giving him a recoil effect that sent him flying to the ground where he could use his second element.

THUD!

The recoil sent him flying into a frozen space that appeared below him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

\'Shit! Who was the bastard that said he was a champion?\' The mercenary was cursing his bad luck and his hirer as he tried to stand on the frozen space, but then came Blake who stabbed Ebony into his head.

[Behind you.] The system warned him about wind blades that were coming his way.

\'They would have had a better chance of survival if they decided to run.\' Blake fell face first in a spatial corridor and appeared on the tree to which one of the void daggers was stuck.

Dashing forward, he conjured 3 fire Blades and launched them at the wind user who tried to propel himself out of the way, but 3 frozen space walls appeared both behind and by his sides.

"Shit!" The mercenary cursed as the fire blades cut into him before Ebony ended his life.

\'No wonder nothing came at me.\' Blake was expecting an attack from the other mercenary, but he saw him running towards the direction he came from when he turned.

"Inform me when he reaches the spot." Blake said to the system as he gathered all the void daggers before walking towards the direction he came from.

[His there.]

Immediately the system said the words, Blake activated void shift and appeared at the void dagger he had placed at the beginning.

\'I thought he was at the champion realm?\' The fear of dying kept his leg moving as he occasionally gave himself a boost with the fire element.

\'I think I have lost.\' He had long lost sight of Blake but he kept on running.

"Do you think I would let any of you get out of here alive?" Blake said in a sinister voice that sent the mercenary\'s heart into his stomach, causing him to fall.

"Please have mercy on me. I will tell you anything you want to know, just spare me." The mercenary begged for his life as he slowly crawled backward.

"I would have loved to chat but I have somewhere to be." Blake decapitated him, before retrieving the void dagger and heading in Castiel\'s direction.
