My Space-Time System

Xander controlled an earth wall to erupt in the path of the water serpent, but it simply manoeuvred to the right, evading the wall and continuing its charge toward him.

'A living spell from the Creation path of the water element. This is going to be interesting.' A grin appeared on Xander's face as he couldn't hide the excitement of going against someone higher than him in level.

He activated lightning reinforcement and jumped back to widen the distance, but that was when a chromastone dome shot out behind him, stopping him from escaping.

"What the hell are you doing, you are meant to prevent attacks like these!" Xander couldn't help but curse at Slade who was meant to keep the Blackthorn descendant in check.

"I am trying but he seems to have more control even though we are equal in level." Slade complained because he was constantly trying to prevent such attacks, but somehow, the Blackthorn descendant was always coming out on top.

"In other words, you are useless." Xander chuckled in a nonchalant manner, but on the inside he was in a serious mood.

'As expected of a member of an Ancestral family.' Xander clicked his tongue but there wasn't enough time to do anything else. So just as the Water serpent was a few meters away from him, Xander enveloped himself in an earth dome.

BOOM!

The Water Serpent crashed onto the dome with a terrifying momentum that made the ground shake, but it wasn't something the dome couldn't handle. However, the water serpent wasn't done, yet.

Seeing that Xander had cornered himself into a dome, the water serpent coiled itself around the dome before its liquid body solidified into ice and hundreds of spikes shot out.

'Time to get out of here.' Sensing the mana fluctuations from outside and below he knew it was no longer safe to stay inside. The question now was how was he going to get out.

As an ordained Angel, he now had the demigod powers of the element, meaning he could sink into the ground and get away. The problem was that he couldn't win the descendant of the Blackthorn family when it came to the Earth element.

'My only option is to directly go against the power of a prevalent angel. I like that!' Xander grinned crazily as his body transformed into lightning and shot through the earth dome and into the water serpent.

In the blink of an eye, Xander moved through the body of the Water serpent as it was a conductor, and appeared not too far from the Prevalent angel.

"Surprised?" The Prevalent Angel had a smirk glued on her face as hundreds of water spells were already waiting for Xander to come out.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Hundreds of spells instantly assaulted Xander, but during the bombardment, the Frostborne Descendant noticed a second lightning arc leaving the body of the water serpent.

"Surprised?" Xander repeated her words as he appeared behind her.

"Electric decoy!" The Frostborne descendant was shocked and annoyed that she had been tricked, but before she could react Xander had already made his move.

Speed Domain!

An Ethereal dome covered the area, slowing down everyone, while simultaneously increasing his speed.

"Die!" Xander roared as he thrust his dagger forward.

Ding!

A Frost-blue barrier enveloped her as her amour's life-saving skill activated in the nick of time.

"Rich kids and fancy toys." Xander was a little bit disappointed as he immediately jumped back, but nonetheless his crazed smile never left his face. "It only means I just have to try a few more times."

"You talk too much, brat." The Frostborne descendant cursed as the water wheel at her back began rotating with renewed vigour as tens of spells were instantly being produced.

"You know, those that say that to me usually end up dead." Xander crouched as he was about to strike again, but that was when he noticed that both Seraphina and Slade backed out.

"It's already time? I was really enjoying our fight, what a drag." Xander shook his head as he sheathed his daggers.

"Huh?" The 3 angels from the Synder empire noticed their movements and became confused, but that was when they noticed one of the normal humans in Granick's camp stepping up.

Their confusion soon changed to fear as they saw the left part of the human's body swell. Distinct features of another human appeared on the swollen part, and soon after the swollen part separated.

"We… need to… get… out of… here… now!"

Their fear turned to horror as they saw the Arboreal Reaper, Verdigris, but for some reason their thoughts were getting slow.

Without needing a warning, the 3 Angels turned around to flee, but plant vines stronger than steel shot out of the ground and ensnared them.

'Shit! He… is… trying to… turn us… to… his… puppets.' The Blackthorn descendant cursed as he cast self-detonation.

Due to the AquaTorrent Conduit formation being active, the fire element was greatly weakened, meaning that the Self-detonation spell wasn't going to deal as much damage. However, he didn't care about it because he just wanted to escape so he didn't wait for the spell to fully charge before detonating.

BOOM!

His body exploded, and instantly reformed but before anyone could do anything he was already flying away.

"He is getting away!" Seraphina screamed as she was about to give chase, but that was when Verdigris spoke.

"Don't bother, it makes no difference."

Just a few seconds later, the Blackthorn descendant who was in the air suddenly began free-falling.

THUD!

"I knew he would do something like that, so I had my plants release poison gas into the air. So as his body reformed in the area, the gas was already inside him." Verdigris explained as he walked up to the 2 Angels that were twitching.

He placed his hands on their head, and after a few seconds the twitching stopped, as the parasites he had released into the air had completely taken over the new hosts.
