My Space-Time System

Chapter 475 Terrifying Mana density.

“Take care of the rest, I am going to check out where these beasts are coming from.” Blake said to Camilla just after the beasts had gone quite some distance.

He didn’t want to be so close just in case there was a high-level beast or another beast not far away waiting for their return. At that distance, he could be discovered and a lot of unexpected events may occur.

‘Just like I suspected.’ Blake said.

Instead of the beasts scattering since they were all different, they all converged to the southeast further reaffirming his suspicion that something was up.

For 10 minutes Blake tailed the group of beasts, and as they were moving, other beasts retreating from other parts of the wall were joining them.

This made Blake to start marking trees after covering a certain distance just in case something went wrong. Fortunately for him, not long after he had begun marking the system sensed a king rank beast joining the group.

Once the system had confirmed its location and path, Blake waited for it to move away from his last checkpoint before warping to it.

‘I just hope I don’t have to frequently do this.’ Blake said as he came out of a spatial corridor.

Blake’s main source of anxiety was king rank beasts or higher, that could detect him even though he was high up in the trees. So he had to leave the area immediately, but the problem was that the mana cost of void shift was dependent on the distance covered.

……

If Blake stick around and more king rank beasts were to keep showing up, he would be forced to abort the mission or take mana potions and wait but that might be too late.

…

Back at the battlefield not too far from the city wall.

With the beasts no longer pouring in and the death of the king rank beasts, the ash corps didn’t have many problems to deal with.

Although the beasts were now more ferocious since they knew their fates were sealed, it didn’t change much. To make matters worse for the remaining beasts, another special ops unit had joined the fray.

Unlike Blake’s team which had been attacked by king rank beasts, Evans’s team was only attacked by knght and elite rank beasts. So they were able to finish them before going to other teams that were in need of help.

The first thing Evans did was to search for the king rank wolves that scared him sh*tless. Once he confirmed that they were not around he began searching for Blake, but that was when he noticed his absence.

“Where is your captain?” Evans asked Radley.

“He seemed to have chased after the retreating beasts.” Radley replied.

‘Is something wrong with him, why would he leave his team to chase after fleeing beasts instead of helping his team?!’

‘This has gotten too far, major Reeves has to hear of this.’ Evans said to himself. Not only was Blake still making his team do the entire work, but he had left them alone.

Having made up his mind, Evans and his team helped Blake’s team to deal with every beast in the area before returning to their previous post and waiting for the meeting.

…

Luckily for Blake, only 2 more injured king rank beasts had come his way, leaving him with enough mana to continue his mission.

During 30 minutes of tailing the beasts, Blake had passed through rocky terrain and even came across a river.

5 minutes past the river, the beasts seemed to have come to a halt causing Blake to move a little bit closer to see what was going on.

‘The king rank beasts are nowhere to be found, but I still can’t move in anyhow because of the birds and climbing beasts in the area.’ Blake thought.

Using the system’s detection range, Blake scanned the area and found the area on the trees with the least amount of beasts.

Once that was done, Blake began sneaking up on the elite rank beasts and killing them before they could even make a sound before storing their corpse in his dimensional pocket.

When he got close enough, Blake was now able to see clearly. There were 3 underground tunnels in the area large enough to fit king rank beasts, and all around them were knight and elite rank beasts resting.

There was no doubt where the injured king rank beasts had gone, but Blake felt there was something odd about the place.

‘Is it me or does this place have more than quadruple the mana density a normal place should have?’ Blake couldn’t help but ask as the thickness of the mana present in the area made the air very moist.

‘Just a little bit more and I swear that the mana in the air would condensate.’ Blake said as he couldn’t stop imagining what it would feel like to meditate in such an area.

[You are right, the mana in the area is very high, and there is no other explanation other than a mine being located underground.]

[Also, if the mana density is so high at this level, I wonder how it would be underground.] The system said.

‘Now I understand what is really happening.’ Blake said as he saw the injury of the sklade from the void dagger healing after being pulled out.

‘Not only are their injuries healing at astonishing rates, but the exposure to such density of mana means they would get to evolve at a very fast pace.’ Blake said.

‘We know their location, so the question now is why and how are they so united, the beast tide ended months ago.’ Blake thought.

‘Also, I wonder if there are any emperor beast underground.’ After seeing how organized they were, Blake found it very hard to believe that an emperor wasn’t leading the rest.

‘Time to return and report my findings to major Reeves.’ Blake said before teleporting away.
