My Space-Time System

With the severe injuries, the 2nd year students had sustained from elemental cannon. It was certain that they would have died if they had done nothing.

The problem questions that were on everyone's mind were why didn't the supervisors act and why hadn't Blake's team been disqualified?

"The rule states that we can't attack anyone, but we didn't. They were just in our way." Blake chuckled, not giving a shit if the 2nd year students were dead or not.

Before the city barrier was taken down, the students had been asked to position themselves, but none of them was allowed to stay in front of another. This was to prevent a situation where they fire spells at each. So whoever decided to leave their selected position acted at their own risk.

That was why when Blake had gone over to their side to kill steal, he didn't just stand in the way of spells. With his speed, he dodged them and still killed lots of beasts. So it wasn't his fault that they were dumb and not as fast as him.

The minds of the 2nd-year students were filled with confusion as they didn't get any reaction from the supervisors, but it immediately cleared up when they saw Luciano charging up another elemental cannon flameburst.

"We need to get them out of there!" Serhan screamed. The elemental cannon battle array wasn't the only problem. The explosion had killed a lot of beasts close to the area, but it wouldn't take time for them to catch up to the injured 2nd-year students.

"I am surprised that they care about each other." Castiel said as they watched the 2nd year students scramble to save their teammates.

"What is more surprising is that major Reeves or the supervisors really have no plan of saving anyone injured or about to die." Blake looked back at major Reeves who was at the top of the wall still staring into the horizon.

'What is the status of the beasts?' Blake asked the system.

[The good news is that more beasts have stopped coming. The bad news is that they are above 600.] The system reported.

'That is quite a lot of beasts. We really have to up our game if we don't want to return to the wall.' Blake thought.

At that moment, the ground quaked and the mother tree sprouted, raising the team 4 meters above the ground.

Luciano once again fired the elemental cannon, but this time the second-year teams were already carrying their injured members back to the wall.

BOOM!

The flame burst exploded, instantly killing every beast within a 5-meter radius, but a second later beasts had already swarmed past that point not caring about their fallen kinsmen.

With the absence of the other teams by their sides, the beasts used the free space as an opportunity to encircle, Blake's team. But nonetheless, Luciano continued firing out more spells.

'A little bit of time alone wouldn't have been bad, anyways their presence wouldn't change anything.' Blake thought when the system informed him that the 2nd year teams were returning to the battlefield.

"Seems they are addicted to misfortune." Luciano said as the 2nd year teams had gotten to the outskirts of the quicksand.

With each team missing at least a member and the number of beasts doubling. The only option for them was to team up, and this wasn't a problem at all because they all had one goal in mind. To make Blake's team pay.

The number of beasts behind Blake's team wasn't as much as those at the other sides. So it was very easy for them to get very close to the team as they began mowing down beasts.

"What should we do?" Luciano asked.

"With them grouping up in one spot and their numbers reducing. They are taking 1/3 of the beasts, and since they are not in our space then we shouldn't worry about them. Besides, we should be more worried about the beasts." Blake said.

At this point, they were beasts coming from all angles. The 2nd years were only taking a small portion of the beasts behind them, leaving the other areas free for the beasts.

"We need to speed up the mother tree's evolution because at this rate the beasts would easily get to us." Tessie informed the group.

The number of beasts was so much to the point that the number of beasts caught by the quicksand created clear paths for the others with their bodies. They lost little to no energy because of this, thus improving their chances of not getting caught by the mother tree.

"Brian I need you to mess around with the ground and try to draw as much blood as possible." Blake instructed Brian as he took over the elemental cannon array.

Up until now, Luciano had been firing AOE fire spells at the beasts outside the range of the mother tree. Now that a lot of beasts had made their into the mother tree's range they needed precise attacks in order not to harm the plant vines.

Elemental cannon: Lightning fork!

The runes of the array changed from golden to lightning blue, as it fired a long bolt of lightning that branched into multiple.

BOOM! BOOM!

In an instant, the lightning fork tore through the bodies of more than 10 beasts, making it easier and quicker for the mother tree to absorb blood from the beast corpses.

Blake didn't stop there. He continued to fire lightning for all around them as Brian continuously conjured large earth spikes and barriers that not only killed beasts but distracted them long enough to be constricted by plant vines.

Their combined efforts greatly slowed down the advancement of the beast, giving the mother tree the upper hand. Thus reducing the pressure on them.

[They are moving into the mother tree's range.] The system reported to Blake, who quickly handed over the control of the battle array to Luciano.

"Castiel and Tessie, get ready to welcome them." Blake said with an evil grin.
