My Space-Time System

Chapter 404

Chapter 404: I caused her death?

Once Blake was out of the queen’s chamber he used the system’s large detection range to follow the 15 elite rank soldier ants at a safe distance.

Following their lead, Blake went through a few more tunnels before reaching an intersection with more than 100 ants.

[The room at the intersection is the main queen’s chamber, and Bradly is currently fighting the queen and her knight-rank guards while his team is fending off the ants pouring into the room.] The system gave Blake a description of what was going on.

...

“We are running out mana and there seems to be no end to this, you need to end this quickly!” A member of the Blade’s edge adventurer party screamed to Bradly who was currently in a 5 v 1 situation.

From the moment they split up with Blake’s team, the Blade’s edge adventurer party had seen it as a race to the ant queen. So they had used a lot of spells not only to get here quicker but to get more kills.

If all things were equal they would still have enough mana and strength to face the queen, but nothing truly goes as planned.

.....

Immediately the queen ant had been alerted about the presence of the intruders, she had sent almost all the ant forces to the intersection through the center tunnel before summoning back all the members of the colony.

This led to the 5 man adventurer party attacked being attacked from both sides, forcing them to spend even more mana and draining their stamina.

They had the option of leaving, but Bradly couldn’t handle the possibility of Blake killing the queen, so he decided they push deeper into the colony which resulted in their current predicament.

“Hold on for a bit longer!” Bradly said as he simultaneously activated Heat marks and Berserker.

With double magical firepower granted by the berserk mode, Bradly instantly turned most of the queen’s chamber into a furnace with an explosion that pushed back the ants, which in turn powered the heat marks.

Since he had no plans of going berserk, Bradly wasted no time dashing towards the closest ant knight rank guard before melting a hole through its thick brown exoskeleton with a punch. At the same time, he conjured an earth wall that blocked all the acid sprays that came his way.

‘4 more to go!’

Bradly stored the corpse of the soldier ant guard into his dimensional pocket before moving out of the protection of the earth wall and using flameburst to reduce the distance between him and his next target.

HAA!

Bradly screamed in rage as he grabbed the mandibles of a knight rank soldier ant guard and proceeded to rip it apart along with its head.

“Hi!”

Bradly was shocked as he saw a spatial tear open up above the queen ant and Blake falling out with his Ebony and Ivory in his hands.

“No!”

Bradly screamed in rage and helplessness as he watched Blake’s greatsword pierce through the head of the queen ant.

“Bye!” Blake waved with an ear-to-ear smile plastered on his face as he placed the corpse in his dimension pocket and fell into the spatial corridor.

Immediately Blake appeared outside the queen’s chamber he opened another spatial corridor that sent him to Brian and Castiel.

“Got it. Let’s get out of here.” Blake said as they left the queen’s chamber and left for the closest exit.

It was after they climbed on top of a tree overlooking the colony entrance that Brian and Castiel began asking questions.

“How many ants were they?’ Castiel asked.

“How were they faring?” Bria asked.

“There were more than hundreds of ants swarming the area, and more were still coming. As for how they were doing, I would say they should be okay as long as they don’t make another bad decision.” Blake answered.

“Get ready, they should be out any time from and they would surely be pissed.” Blake said.

Since Bradly’s team couldn’t warp in and out just like him, their only option of escape was by blasting through the ceiling. This was because they lacked mana to kill all the ants and they couldn’t use explosive AOE spells because the hive would collapse.

“Isn’t this taking too long?” Brian couldn’t help but ask because, after almost 5 minutes of waiting, nothing had happened.

“Don’t tell me that he was stupid enough to put the lives of his team at risk.” Blake said with a frown on his face.

“What do you mean by that?” Castiel asked.

“Well, when I was there they complained about having little mana left. So since I got rid of the ant queen they should have escaped a long time ago...”

“Unless the idiot decided to get more kills to compensate for the queen.” Castiel completed the sentence with a facepalm.

“Do you think they are dead?” Brian asked in a worried tone, because if they turned out to be dead then they would face a lot of questions from the association.

“I don’t know.” Blake said.

BOOM!

An explosion rang out as the ground burst open, revealing Bradly and his team.

“You son of a bitch!” Bradly screamed at Blake in anger as tears were rolling down his eyes.

The trio was about to question why he was crying but that was when they noticed that one of their members was missing.

“Why the cursing? What did I do?” Blake said in a serious tone as they came down from the tree.

“You are the reason she died!” Bradly who still had berserk mode and heat marks active pointed at him as he walked closer.

“How am I the cause?” Blake asked, not caring about Bradly who was walking closer.

He wasn’t worried about a fight because not only did Bradly have less mana and energy, but Blake was normally stronger than him.
