Chapter 320 - Killing A Knight Rank Insect.

"That was easier than I thought." Blake was surprised that he drew the attention of the praying mantis with little to no effort.

[Do you have a plan to kill this thing?] The system said after analyzing the Knight rank insect that was making its way to Blake.

Before Blake could answer the system, the praying mantis had reached him and begun circling him.

[Try not to get hit by its blade.] The system advised.

'Even if its hands were made of cotton why will I want to get hit?' Blake asked with a raised brow, but that was when he realized what the system meant.

With the speed boost gotten from lightning reinforcement, Blake was able to continuously keep track of the knight rank praying mantis, but all of sudden the speed of the Knight rank praying mantis increased as it appeared behind Blake and stabbed at his spinal cord.

'I guess seeing isn't the same as reacting.' Even though the speed of the praying mantis had surprisingly increased, Blake was still able to keep track of it.

He knew the moment it had appeared behind him, but he wasn't fast enough to react to it. Luckily he hadn't underestimated the lethality of the praying mantis' speed and had made preparations.

Using the void daggers in his possession as a beacon through the void, Blake opened a spatial tear behind him causing the raptorial leg of the praying mantis to pass through and come out of the exit behind it.

Having thrust its forelimb at the human, the praying mantis was anticipating screams and feel of the innards of the human but nothing happened. Instead, its instincts were screaming that it should get out of the way.

The Knight rank praying mantis quickly moved to the left dodging its own attack, before pulling out its right forelimb from the spatial corridor before Blake could decapitate its forelimb by closing it.

Still unsure of what had just transpired, the praying mantis was focused on the spot where the spatial tear opened, but that was when it sensed that Blake had repositioned behind it.

'I could have sworn that it would have stabbed himself.' Blake thought as he got behind the Knight rank insects ready to give it a taste of its own medicine, but that was when the body of the praying mantis turned with the head still in the same position.

'The fuck!' Blake was creeped out by this, causing him to instinctively stop in his tracks and jump back. At the same time that was when he saw the praying mantis slash the spot at an astonishing speed.

'Back on Earth, I didn't hate insects that much even though they creeped the hell out of me, but those here are forcing me down the part of an insect exterminator.' Blake thought as he watched the head of the praying mantis return to its normal position.

SKRRRR!

The Knight rank praying mantis let out a screech as it spread its wings before flying back into the air and circling Blake again.

[You can't let things keep going on like this.] The system said to Blake as it saw the praying mantis was going to repeat the same attack.

Blake's weakness was his inability to land an attack on the praying mantis because of its speed and air superiority. This caused him to be a sitting duck that its only chance of harming it was through counterattacks.

The main problem was that if the praying mantis was to keep getting close, there were chances that he wouldn't be lucky enough to defend himself talk more of counter-attacking.

'You don't have to tell me twice.' Blake said as he continued monitoring the knight rank insect as it continuously moved around him looking for an opening.

BOOM!

Once again, out of nowhere the praying mantis burst out at an astonishing speed as it appeared behind Blake and stabbed him.

'You are too predictable.' Blake thought as he opened a spatial tear behind him. The forelimb went through the spatial tear and appeared behind the praying mantis, but its head was already looking in that direction.

Now that it had fully understood what was going on, the knight rank praying mantis dodged the attack but that was when it felt an electric wave in form of a very thin dome passing it.

Sensing danger from the electric wave, the knight rank insect wanted to retreat to a safe distance but that was when Blake made the spatial corridor collapse.

With its ultra-senses and incredible speed, the praying mantis had managed to pull out its forelimb just in time, but it noticed that the electric wave had condensed to an electric net.

Instead of trying to tear its way through the net and mana barrier the human had tried to conceal behind the lightning net, the praying mantis slashed its razor-sharp blade aiming to decapitate Blake's head.

"You just walked... stepped... entered... You are trapped!" Blake screamed as he turned to the attack with bright blue glowing eyes as his thoughts and words became rampant.

Once the blade of the praying mantis came in contact with Ebony and Ivory it was split in 2 causing the praying mantis to screech in pain, but Blake wasn't done yet.

As Ebony and Ivory cut through the forelimb, a spatial tear opened on its path causing the blade to swing through, appearing at the right side of the praying mantis.

Having nowhere else to go, the knight-rank insect raised its right forelimb to protect its head, but Ebony and Ivory sliced right through everything in its way.

"That was stressful…" Blake said as he turn off mind boost and looked over to Tessie's direction to see that they were under a rock dome shrouded by black mist.

"Guess they are doing okay…" Since they weren't in any serious danger, Blake decided to turn his attention to the person who might need it the most, but what he saw was shocking.
