My Space-Time System

Chapter 217: Team test (3)

Lightning reinforcement!

Before the head could recover, Sach had activated lightning reinforcement while using flame bursts to propelling himself away.

HISS!

The moment Sach was at a safe distance, a deafening hiss of agony was echoed all around the area. When the team turned towards Blake\'s direction they saw that the head that had attacked him was split in half.

When 3 headed snakes had attacked them, Blake was taken by surprise and hadn\'t had much time to cast any spell.

So, he used Ebony and Ivory to block the attack, but instead of the sound of 2 hard objects clashing it was that of a skull being split into 2.

[Watch out for its acid breathe!] The system warned as the other heads open their mouths and shot out 2 streams of corrosive acid.

"On it…" Blake conjured a mana barrier in mid-air and used it to propel himself out of the way, before conjuring another mana barrier in front of him.

Sizzle!

Immediately the mana barrier appeared a jet-stream of purple corrosive acid shot unto it, followed by another round which melted the barrier, but Blake was no longer.

Using multiple flame bursts by continuously triple casting, Blake instantly maneuvered behind the main head without his feet touching the ground.

"Gotcha!" Throwing a void dagger at the other head Blake used a flame burst and went full thrust at the main head.

Slice!

Ebony and Ivory went through the scales and skull like a hot knife through butter, but he wasn\'t done yet.

Void shift!

Ignoring the acid breath coming at him, Blake fell into a spatial corridor and appeared behind the last head.

"Die!" Blake stabbed into the last head, finally ending the life of the knight rank beast.

"Wow…" These were the only words that could come to the mouths of his teammates as they watched him solo a knight rank beast.

"What grade is his sword?" Kade couldn\'t help but ask as he watched as the sword slice through all objects with no resistance.

"I have always wanted to know the answer…" Damon said.

Blake\'s sword being able to cut everything wasn\'t new news, but from the way he had effortlessly butchered a knight rank beast, it seemed they had actually been underestimating its power.

"There is a problem…" Ansgar said drawing the attention of all the teammates.

"What is it?" Sach asked as the team gathered at the 3 headed python\'s corpse.

"There are only 3 beast cores and we are 5. Also, who is to get the knight-grade beast core?" Ansgar asked, causing everyone to stare at him as if they were looking at a retard.

The 3 headed venomous python was a special kind of beast that had a beast core at each of its heads. The other 2 heads had elite grade beast cores while the main head possessed the knight grade beast cores.

"The answer is very simple, Blake takes everything." Sach said without even looking at him.

"What? Why?" Ansgar asked in an annoyed tone.

"If I remember clearly you didn\'t even cast a spell to help him while he soloed the beast. So, why should you get a share in it?" Damon was getting tired of Ansgar\'s nagging.

"Classical self-entitlement of nobles." Beyoni snorted.

Ansgar had some more words to say, but with the way the others were looking at him, he was sure to get some bruises if he did.

"If you guys have noticed this place is more dangerous than our last survival exercise. So, I suggest we take shelter in the cave because it is getting dark." Blake said to reduce the tension in the air.

"Great Idea, but first let\'s make sure it is cleared up." Sach said.

With their attention brought back to the mission, the team began working to make sure the cave would be safe at least for the night.

After making sure nothing else was in the cave, the team cast a mirror spell at the entrance of the cave before Ansgar and Kade blocked the entrance with the earth element.

After that, they began inscribing presence reduction arrays on the walls of the arrays to make sure that any beast that came close to the area wouldn\'t be able to sense them.

…

Because the team wasn\'t that close, they weren\'t gathered at the burning fire, but scattered at different corners of the cave.

\'He is actually a nice guy and is very skilled for someone his age. He is able to maintain the rank 1 even when competing with the nobles and the emperor\'s son.\' Sach thought. \'No wonder they want him dead. If I was the nobles I would have done the same thing.\'

\'Do I really want to kill him?\' Sach asked himself.

What he had always thought was that the commoners, especially those living in the slums needed a savior and that was meant to be him.

Although he had done a lot of bad things over the years, he saw all his actions and victims as being for the greater good. Because at this rate the commoners would continue to remain in their shackles forever.

With Blake\'s achievements so far, his future looked promising and because he would eventually end up dying. Was it a good idea to kill a potential savior for the commoners that might not appear in more than 100 years to come?

\'If I do this I can\'t be forgiven in my next lives to come.\' Sach thought.

\'Rather than plot against him or remain on the fence, why don\'t I help him?\' At this moment, a light shone in Sach\'s eyes as a thought came to him.

\'What if Blake\'s backer can save me?\' Although Sach thought it was quite a wishful thought he wanted to bet on it because he had no other option.

"Rather than taking him to the hotspots (Areas of strong beasts) to get killed. We will go there and farm points together."
