My Space-Time System

Chapter 552  Behind the blockade (part 1)

"The detainment area is the closest to the entrance; escaping shouldn\'t be that difficult." Blake said as he saw Ash Corps being warped to both high-security wing and cell blocks; meaning the former had also been breached.

At that moment, another set of red markers appeared all around the map, and immediately Blake knew what they were.

Two holes opened in the ceiling and humanoid robots dropped to the ground. They stood at a height of 2 meters and possessed a chunky body made of gold alloys that improved their magic resistance.

 Its spell casting was at the champion realm, but its physical capabilities were at the 2nd stage of the Hero realm.

"I should learn how to shut my mouth!" Blake cursed as the eyes of the protectors lit up, and they began walking towards him.

He quickly stopped in his tracks and changed to a fighting stance, but when they got to him, they just walked past.

\'What the…\' Blake was shocked but soon realized that he was technically still an Ash corp, a Major at that. So he wouldn\'t be attacked by the protectors.

"I was correct, this shouldn\'t be difficult!" Blake said with renewed confidence, as he pulled out his map to check the current situation in the prison.

[You were saying something a few seconds ago?!] The system screamed at Blake as the map showed the arrival of hundreds of Ash Corps.

"Fuck me!" Blake cursed as he began thinking of the next step to take.

"We surely can\'t take on hundreds of Ash corps, neither can we walk right past them without anyone noticing." Blake\'s train of thought came to a halt when the system drew his attention to the map.

[Look, they are no longer being teleported straight to the cell blocks, instead, they are all positioned at the entrance. Even those at the cell blocks are slowly withdrawing.] The system said.

"Seems they want to form a barricade and flush out all corridors at once. I am quite impressed that they reacted so quickly." Blake turned around and began running back from where he came from.

[Where are you going?] The system couldn\'t help but ask.

"Meeting them will only get me captured or mistakenly killed." Blake said and continued moving.

Just when he was close to his detainment cell, Blake came across 2 inmates that seemed to be slightly injured.

Seeing Blake dressed in a white T-shirt and black trousers, the inmates already knew he wasn\'t one of them, thus an enemy.

[Champions.] The system quickly scanned them and reported to Blake.

"I might not be on their side, but it doesn\'t mean I am not allowed to kill bad guys!" Without activating lightning reinforcement, Blake quickly and skilfully dodged their attacks and decapitated them.

Without pausing, Blake ran past his detainment cell and headed for the administrative wing. On his way, he saw the corpses of 2 inmates and parts of the protectors he came across scattered all around the corridor.

\'That explains the injuries on them.\' Blake said without slowing down.

[What exactly is your plan?] The system couldn\'t understand why Blake was running in the opposite direction.

\'Since I can\'t face the barricade head-on, my plan is to move to the administrative wing and use a warp array to get past the advancing barricade.\' Blake explained.

[What if they know you have gone rogue?] The system asked.

\'Since the protectors did not attack me, it only means 2 things; either they don\'t know I have gone rogue or they haven\'t updated the system. If it is the latter, that means that very few people know, but I doubt it because I haven\'t done anything suspicious or attacked any Ash corps.\' Blake explained.

[This might actually work.] The system couldn\'t help but confess.

After 5 minutes of constant running, Blake was not too far from the administrative wing when he came across a battle. This time it wasn\'t only between the inmates and the protectors but with retreating Ash corps and those defending the entrance to the administrative wing.

Without thinking, Blake activated lightning reinforcement and began mowing down. Thanks to the system, Blake went for those at the champion realm, before releasing Ebony and Ivory to take care of the rest.

"Major Blake, why are you out of your detainment cell… Sir?!" The captain asked but quickly realized Blake was still higher in rank.

"The entire prison is still being overrun by inmates, do you think they would forget that I am an Ash Corp and not attack me just because I am detained?" Blake asked while walking forward.

"Where… are you going to?" The captain couldn\'t help but ask.

"I am still a detainee, meaning I am not meant to be taking part in this fight. So I am simply going to somewhere safe to resume my detainment." Blake said without stopping.

"…"

The Captain was confused on what to do because Blake was actually right, but he felt it was not appropriate for him to enter the administrative wing.

"Alright, I shall escort you inside." The Captain said as he began thinking of the best and quickest place to drop Blake off, so that he could quickly return.

[Nice acting.] The system complemented him.

\'Thanks, but that wasn\'t anything special since I am actually entitled to this.\' Blake said in a solemn tone.

[Are you alright?] The system couldn\'t help but ask after noticing his tone.
