Chapter 144: You read my mind.

"It is too dangerous… I mean, even if someone is to check it out, it's meant to be Castiel, but I strongly advise no one goes." Out of the four, the tension caused by the anomaly had gotten more to Tessie than the others and with her little experience in the wild, she couldn't help but worry about Blake's safety.

"I agree with Tessie, If someone is meant to go it's me. With darkbringer, I would be able to escape in case anything happens." Castiel said.

"I know you will be the best for the mission, but trust me I can handle this. Besides I more of a solo guy and if something is to happen to the team, you will play a more important role than me." Blake said with a quick wink that made Castiel and Brian drop the case.

Theoretically, Castiel was the best man for the task but if something was to compromise his stealth state or if the thing that was causing the chaos in both regions was there and was able to sense him, Castiel would become a sitting duck.

But if Blake was to handle the task, with the system's large detection range he would be able to avoid unnecessary danger and if he was to be discovered he would have a higher chance of survival since he had three elements and the help of the system.

Also, it would be easier for him to understand what was going on if he had direct and unaltered information.

"If you say so, then please be careful out there..." Tessie said with a worried expression as she stared into Blake's eyes.

"Don't worry I will be back soon, so you should harvest as much as you can before I am back." Blake could sense the worry in tone and knew that she cared about him, but with so many people present he could only act like a professional.

Without wasting more time Blake began proceeding uphill.

He would have loved to get things over with by activating lightning reinforcement thereby increasing his speed, but since he didn't know where to search or what was searching for him, Blake decided to reduce his mana emission.

[North East, 97 meters. Engage with caution…] the system immediately reported when the Rugor entered its range of detection.

'On it…' Blake changed direction and sped towards the direction.

[It… It looks like it isn't moving?] The system said in a confused tone.

'Let's go closer and have a better look.'

When Blake got within 50 meters of the Rugor, the system's detection, same with the bleats became clearer and they sounded nothing like moans, but cries of agonizing pain.

"My God!" When Blake finally got his eyes on the Rugor he was shocked to the core by the scene.

Under a tree which had a trunk damaged by the impact of its fall, laid a Rugor which had one of its back legs missing. On its stomach was a large gash from which its entrails could be seen.

Both of its hind legs were most likely broken from the fall and all over its thick skin were cuts that made Blake wonder what kind of beast was able to penetrate the hide of this walking tank, but because of its monstrous vitality, the Rugor was very far from losing consciousness.

[What the fuck could do this to a Rugor!] Even the system was shocked by the scene, it couldn't believe that he was looking at a Rugor neither could it believe that something was able to do this to a Rugor.

'What are the chances that our suspect is a king rank beast?' At this point Blake couldn't think of any beast under the King rank level that could easily bully a Rugor, leaving king rank beasts as his only suspects.

[I highly doubt. All King rank beasts are sentient and intelligent beings that knowingly avoid living close to human settlements to avoid human interactions which might lead to them being hunted down. Meaning the closest one should be deep in the Bulian hills.] The system said.

[Also, they wouldn't cause such chaos because it causes so many complications that might garner a lot of attention.]

[Wait… I sense two spatial distortions; one close to the top of this hill and another 367 meters away from our current location.] The system suddenly reported.

'Is it safe?' Blake couldn't help but ask as he took a defensive stance.

A portal opening out of thin air meant that someone or something was coming from the other side and for someone to be able to make a spatial corridor it meant he/she possessed a high tier artifact and 8 out of 10 times, someone in possession of such an artifact would be on an equal or higher level with the artifact.

[So, far nothing has happened, but I don't think staying to find out will be a good idea.] The system said.

No matter what came out of the spatial, it wasn't good for Blake. If it was what had maimed the Rugor Blake would be in big trouble and if it was a human who had evil intentions Blake had no chance of survival.

'You read my mind.' Blake said as he took a last look at the Rugor who would most likely bleed to death, before heading back to his team's position.

'Since when were you able to sense up to 300 meters?' Blake asked as he weaved through the trees.

[From my mana vision, the world is just like a lake. When a stone is dropped ripples spread out and within 100 meters I can give a detailed scan of everything.]

[Outside 100 meters the ripple begins to fade I am only able to pick up the imbalance in the mana of the surroundings. Since all elements are naturally in balanced quantity, an increase in the quantity of a certain element will cause an imbalance which I will only be able to sense but nothing more.]

"How did it go?" Immediately Blake entered the team's sight, they approached him.
