My Space-Time System

Chapter 340: The main event (part III)

At first, when the 2nd year teams that were now led by Serhan arrived behind the Mother Tree. The concentration of beasts wasn’t much, but as time went on it began increasing.

This was because it was hard for the beasts to reach the humans within the range of the Mother Tree. So, the next best option was getting those that were outside its range.

The pressure on the combined 2nd-year teams had more than tripled. They were beginning to find it hard to prevent the beasts from overrunning them even with all their fusion spells.

Seeing that getting overrun was inevitable, Serhan decided to go ahead with his initial plan. He instructed the group to slowly move into the range of the Mother Tree.

Using mana manipulation to create hard surfaces. The group easily got past the quicksand and move into an area covered with thorny plant vines.

Serhan planned to use the Mother Tree to slow down the beasts, while him and his team landed the last hit on anything that had been constricted, but Blake could only laugh.

“Castiel I need you to cast Night mist all around the trunk of the Mother Tree.”

.....

“Luciano, after he is done, I need you to stop firing for some time.” It took them only seconds to understand how ‘evil’ Blake’s plan was, causing them to thank the heavens that they were not on Serhan’s team.

“Night mist has been cast.” One of the team members reported to Serhan as he saw a black mist slowly covering the trunk of the Mother Tree.

“You don’t have to worry about it. It can’t get this far and they can’t get a sneak attack as long as beasts are not directly in front of us.” After making sure that it was only Castiel that was missing from the top, Serhan continued. “So as long as we maintain our distance and kill any beats before they get to them. It would be a big waste of mana.”

Just like the elemental cannon spell that severely injured their team member. Night mist was not targeted at them, it was just in place to weaken and slow down beasts. So if they were to get into range, they would be the ones to blame.

The 2nd year group continued successfully killing beasts entrapped by the thorny vines of the Mother tree, but the sound of the elemental cannon array being fired suddenly ceased.

This caused them to immediately turn to the top confused, but they saw an evil grin plastered on Blake’s face. They immediately turned back to the beasts and they noticed that the quicksand was gone.

The beasts had immediately begun pouring into the Mother Tree’s range and maneuvering or muscling their way through the thorny vines of the Mother tree.

“They are trying to box us into the Night mist!” Serhan explained what seemed to be the obvious, causing the 2nd year group to begin casting spells with great urgency.

‘If you are to fuck your enemies up, make sure to do it real good.’ Blake said through the mind link, causing Brian and Castiel to give him a suspicious look.

‘I guess that didn’t come out well.’ Blake quickly gave Tessie the signal to upgrade the Mother Tree in hopes that they would forget what he just said.

The absorbed blood that had been stored in the tree trunks began moving to all the parts of the Mother Tree through the vascular tissues, causing everything to grow. The roots began increasing in both size and length, thus increasing the range of the Mother Tree’s effect.

As for the Mother Tree itself, it had grown from 4 meters tall to 6 meters in height, giving those on top the perfect view to watch their enemies suffer.

“Tessie, one last thing. Make the Mother Tree attack everything in sight.” Blake said.

“Wouldn’t this eliminate all their chances of escaping the beasts?” Tessie couldn’t help but ask, but the expressions on their faces were saying ‘wasn’t that the plan all along?’

“They would most likely die.” Tessie said to the group, but their expressions didn’t change. She somewhat agreed with Blake’s words of not having mercy on the enemies, but a greater part of her was against killing them.

‘I feel bad making her do this, but we have to make use of any opportunity to eliminate them for good.’ Blake said in the mind link.

One thing for sure was that people like Serhan would continuously come after them. So they needed to be permanently eliminated to prevent getting caught by surprise.

[Not to disturb your guilty trip, but there is very bad news.] The system reported.

‘Lay it on me.’

[A lot of beasts are arriving at the city barrier!] The system announced.

‘How many are we looking at?’ Blake asked with a frown on his face.

[More than 300 beasts have entered my range of detection, and more are still entering.] The system reported, causing Blake’s frown to change to dread.

Blake immediately looked up to see a sea of beasts charging out of the forest and quickly getting closer to the city. He had been so focused on Serhan’s team, and Tessie’s feelings, that he hadn’t looked out.

“Forget about what I just said, we need to get out of here.” Blake said in a panicked voice, confusing the others and causing them to search for the cause.

When they looked up, they saw a sea of beasts that stretched wider than they could see. Both on the ground and up in the sky, they were heading towards the open part of the city barrier.

“Fuck!” The four of them cursed in unison, but that was when they began falling.

Being the first to discover the incoming threat, Blake was the first to react. He activated Mind boost, before throwing out a void dagger as high and far as he could. Then he opened a spatial tear below them, causing everyone to fall through and appear in mid-air.

He quickly released an electromagnetic to retrieve the dagger before throwing it out again and repeating the same thing.
