My Space-Time System

Calling an arachne a bug was no different from calling a wyvern a lizard. It was a great insult to them and for someone to dare call them that, he/she either had the strength to go toe to toe with one or they woke up feeling suicidal.

Ignoring the rants of the arachne, Lovren adjusted his monocle, activating the artifact. The monocle began scanning the area and analyzing every single detail right from the tallest trees to the grains of sand on the forest floor.

If someone in the hero realm was to use the artifact, their brain would be instantly fried by the enormous amount of information being relayed by the monocle.

"I never knew you bugs are close relatives to snakes. Why don't you stop slithering like a snake and come out." Lovren said to the hidden enemy with an indifferent expression.

Seeing that there was no need for it to keep waiting in ambush. A deathworm shot out of the ground as it curled around a tree until its head was at the same level as Lovren who was floating above the trees.

A Deathworm was a tier 2 emperor rank millipede that stretched over 150 meters in length and had a dark red exoskeleton way tougher than the hide of a hippodon.

Just like the arachne, it had 8 red eyes that were lined up in a W shape, and on its head were two crooked demon horns. Both the outside and inside of its mouth were lined with hundreds of teeth that formed a tunnel.

Deathworms were the masters of fire and earth elements and had the bloodline ability to generate and lace deadly poisons in their attacks.

'This is very bad.' Although they were 2 emperor beasts in front of him, Lovren knew panicking wouldn't help, so he was calm on both the outside and inside.

'Best case scenario, I take down one with me. Worst-case and most probable is I die without killing anyone.' He was pretty sure that he wouldn't come out of this alive but he was determined.

…

Back in the city barrier.

The fight between the humans and beasts was still in the early stage, and just like the southern wall, they were charging at the human army with no plan. This was bound to change once Lovren engaged in combat with the emperor beasts.

"What are we going to do?" Professor Gibson couldn't help but ask when the deathworm appeared. The strongest known person in the city was colonel Darius and even he would have a hard time taking on 2 emperor beasts.

"There is nothing we can do. Even if all demigods were to go and support him, the outcome wouldn't change." Major Briggs said with a concerned look on his face.

Lovren was currently the only one that could prevent the western wall from being destroyed. If he was defeated, it would take only a few minutes for everyone there to be killed.

"The only thing we can do now is to make sure that we defend the wall until their battle is over." Briggs said.

Down on the ground, professor Langston and Hoffenheim in lightning and light form respectively were zooming all through the battlefield laying waste to hundreds of beasts by the second with ease.

The professors of the magic academy weren't normal demigods. They were hired because they were so exceptional in their areas of specialization that king-rank beasts didn't seem to be so much of a threat to them.

The only reason they had an issue with the wyvern back at the team exercise in the first semester was that the wyvern had used forbidden magic to evolve. The evolution process had worked beyond its expectations.

The drake had evolved to a tier 2 king rank wyvern, but because its body couldn't handle such a gap in evolution it went berserk. In the berserk state, its power and speed had doubled making it even stronger.

"We are royally screwed." Langston said when the deathworm had appeared.

Many including Langston were forced to pause their onslaught and assess the current danger, but not Hoffenheim.

"Where are you going to?" Professor Langston asked when he saw Hoffenheim moving out of the city barrier.

"I will be back." Hoffenheim turned into a beam of light and shot out of a hole in the city barrier.

"Are you crazy?!" When Langston figured out what he was planning on doing it was already too late. Hoffenheim was already in front of the deathworm.

…

Lovren was still thinking of the herculean task in front of him when Hoffenheim appeared beside him.

"What are you doing here?" Lovren was surprised.

"I thought 2 emperor beasts would be too much for you. So I came to help you take care of one." Hoffenheim said pointing at the Deathworm.

If it was anyone else, Lovren would have thought that they were stupid and crazy, but he knew Hoffenheim would be nothing close to stupid.

It was then that Hoffenheim deactivated the artifact that had been cloaking his presence, revealing he was in the angel realm.

"Just try and survive till I am done with her." Lovren said before turning to the tier 2 arachne.

Although Hoffenheim revealed he was in the angelic realm it still wasn't enough. It took 2 angels to match a tier 2 emperor beast, but for him to volunteer to fight, Lovren believed he had something up his sleeves.

He had no idea that Hoffenheim wasn't just any angel, he was Zultra, the son of the God of knowledge and he awakened every element including space and darkness right from creation.

"If you are not coming then I will come." The female arachne said in a seductive tone as a mirror world enveloped the two of them.
