My Space-Time System

If the Synder empire had discovered the plans of the Tigeria empire on time, defending the entire Eastern content would have been 3 times easier. All they would have needed to do was shift most of their forces to the borders, creating an impregnable defence. 

However, now that all of their border cities had been captured, the Tigeria Empire had great access to almost anywhere in the Synder Empire, meaning all sorts of attacks could come anytime from any place. This made allocating Ash corps very difficult, leading to decreased quality of city defence and the loss of cities.

On the other hand, the more cities the Synder Empire lost, the more concentrated their defence would become and the more spread out Tigeria's forces would become. If care wasn't taken, the attacking troops could be wiped out and a counterattack could take place especially since the Synder Empire was yet to show any of their trump cards.

"Another round of cities has been captured, but things will only get harder from here as their forces will no longer be spread too thin." Tidewalker IV reported the live situation of the war.

"Then we have to start weakening them through means other than direct confrontation." Dorian stated as blue dots lit up all around the map of Synder. The blue dots were the positions of resource points all around the Empire. This included mines, fertile regions, industrial cities, and so on. 

"From the reports, they are all heavily guarded, and moving large numbers of troops to some of these locations wouldn't go unnoticed." Emperor Tidewalker IV stated.

"Multiple battalions would have to gather to capture the resource cities; and as for the resource points, we will just send the best of our elites to destroy them." Dorian went on to give better details of the plan.

…

The Luminarum Crystalline Mine are among the top 10 largest and most prestigious magic crystal mines in the entire Synder Empire. Nestled within the heart of a mountain range west of the Empire, these mines were a source of immense wealth and power, as the magic crystals yielded were mostly tier 4.

The journey into the mines began at a grand entrance marked by towering stone arches adorned with intricate, glowing runic inscriptions. Guard towers on either side ensured the safety and security of the mines, allowing only authorized personnel to pass.

Upon entering the mines, a vast, open plaza welcomed visitors and workers alike. A large, ornate fountain stood at the centre, adorned with magical water jets that created mesmerizing, ever-changing patterns. The plaza served as a gathering point for authorized visitors, miners, and officials who frequent the mines.

Adjacent to it was the administration hall where officials oversaw the daily operations, managed contracts, and secured the mined crystals. It was also from here that security personnel warped to different parts of the mines in case of emergencies.

Now that the empire was being attacked, the workers of the Luminarium Crystalline mines were forced to work around the clock as the crystals mined were vital for the rapid constructions taking place in all parts of the Empire.

Unknown to both workers and security positioned at the Luminarium Crystalline mines, a black-haired Angel dressed in all black was floating right above the range of the sensory array. He was currently in a concealed state making it impossible for the patrols exiting the sensory array to sense him.

Taking out an epic-tier katana crafted from a combination of obsidian and the heart of a dormant volcano. The black hair of the Angel turned white, and instantly he appeared at the mine's entrance.

Instantly, the sensory array detected his presence and activated the alarm, while automatically cancelling his concealment and revealing his position. At the same time, tens of demigods and 6 Angels from all around the mines immediately rushed to his position.

Having expected such a turn of events, Blake who was calm as a still lake thrust Emberforge forward. 

SWISH!

BOOM!

The epic-tier katana which had its speed and penetration enhanced by the lightning element tore through the defences of the unsuspecting Nascent Demigod, before exploding.

"Huh?!"

Chills ran down the spines of all the demigods present, while the Angels frowned as they became cautious of the intruder.

They weren't dealing with just anyone. It was Blake; the genius commoner, the wielder of All-Father's inheritance and one of the most dangerous members of the League of Assassins. 

The fact that he was only showing himself in such a place after 2 years of vanishing, made him feel even more dangerous.

Without thinking twice, they formed an encirclement around him and unleashed their strongest spells at him.

Watching the rain of spells coming at him, Blake remained unperturbed and activated his new spell.

Spatial Infusion!

On the outside, his body remained the same, but the moment the spells came in contact with him, they were all absorbed into his body, leaving no form of damage.

"What the hell?!"

The defenders were shocked to see spells that could flatten an entire city vanishing without any trace. However, their shocked expressions were immediately replaced with fear as tens of spatial tears opened behind every one of them.

"Shit!"

The Angels cursed not because they couldn't block the spells coming at them; instead, the spells that came at them were demigod spells, and the ones that went for some of the demigods were their spells!

BOOM!

AHH!

BOOM!

In an instant, explosions mixed with screams for help rang out as 8 demigods lost their lives on the spot.

Making use of the Chaos, Blake turned to one of the fatally injured demigods and vanished from the spot he stood on.

"Protect him!" An Ordained Angel screamed as she and some Angels moved to save the demigod. However, Blake appeared behind her.

To Blake's surprise, the moment he appeared behind the Ordained angel, an evil grin was plastered on her face as he had fallen for the trap.

"Now!" The Ordained Angel screamed.
