My Space-Time System

The second and final phase of their plan involved surviving the next floor, because even the floor they were being teleported to, were protected by PAC-X bots.

At the center of the beast research floor, just below the energy research floor, a warp array lit up and 3 youths appeared.

At the center was Brian, while Blake and Castiel were at the left and right respectively.

When the lights of the teleportation array dimmed, the PAC-X bot sensed living matter and turned to the trio, but they were more ready for them.

Being in possession of the journal, Blake was identified as Zultra making him receive only a warning after he threw a void dagger at the mechanical golem.

The void dagger was easily dodged, but that had been Blake's plan.

Simultaneously activating lightning reinforcement and Mind boost, Blake threw the journal into the air and cast void shift.

[Scanning: Codex…]

Seeing the journal in the air, a black ethereal tendril shot out of Castiel catching it and bring it to him.

[Scanning: Master Zultra.]

Having identified Castiel as Zultra, the PAC-X bot lowered its weapon but at Brian's side, the PAC-X bot was raising its.

[Intruder detected.] The golem sounded the alarm as it began charging an energy beam.

BOOM!

Before it could release the charged energy beam, an explosion was heard as it dropped to the floor.

[Master Zultra isn't authorized to throw any form of projectile at any PAC-X bot. Please restrain from doing that.] The PAC-X bot warned Castiel as it dodged a void dagger.

'Bingo!' A smile appeared on Blake's face as he teleported and shut down the golem.

'The other bots are most likely on their way, let's get out of here.' Blake said through their mind link.

'Check for the presence of any golem within our range.' Blake gave the system a command as they walked through a randomly selected corridor.

The system's sensory skill could be depicted as a still lake, and once something was to enter the range of the lake, the vibrations would outline the shape of the object.

But in this case, the constant movement of mana through the walls and ground, made it look like they were in the middle of a raging tempest.

[Sorry to say, but detection skill is useless in this place. The walls have a large amount of mana flowing through them and that scrambles my sensory abilities.] The system replied.

'Let's see how lucky we are then…' Blake said as they followed the map and headed to the closest room.

After few minutes of running in fear, the trio had reached a door, and immediately Blake began cracking the array.

"Finally!" The trio let out a sigh of relief as they sat down panting.

'This would hurt.' Blake thought as he deactivated mind boost.

"Arghhh!"

Thud!

Blake was out cold.

Although the battles didn't last long, they were very intense. Not only did he instantly crack 5 sets of arrays, but he had used void shift a lot of time, leaving his mana reserves almost empty.

Before he advanced into the champion realm, he was only able to cast void shift 3 times a day before being completely spent.

Now with his stars being filled and the increased mana reserve, Blake could cast void shift a maximum of 7 times a day.

Seeing Blake fall, Castiel and Brian could no longer resist the urge so they also let go.

[If they saw this I don't think they would be able to sleep.] The system said.

It couldn't see their surrounding since Blake was unconscious, but it could sense the environment and it could feel a lot of life force in the area.

…

On the surface…

Zirrack had been to all the areas with spatial traces more than twice. At first, he had thought it had something to do with the timing, but after spending close to 5 days in Bulian hills, he was sure it wasn't.

"5 days, 5 fucking days, and nothing has happened!" Zirrack screamed in anger mixed with frustration and more anger.

This was the time he should have been spending on his vacation, but the fact he hadn't made any progress, meant he would have less than a week when he returned to his vacation.

'I was thinking of going easy when requesting for a reward, but now… hehe.' A sinister smile appeared on Zirrack's face as he began contacting guild master Walden.

"Any news?" Walden asked.

"This secret underground facility is more hidden than I thought. No entrance has been found meaning only those inside could grant access to those outside." Zirrack said.

"What is your next line of action?" Walden asked.

"If I don't find anything today, I will punch my way into the research facility." Zirrack replied.

"…" Walden was shocked for a moment, but he soon saw that Zirrack was dead serious.

"Alright, do as you see fit." After thinking about it Walden saw they didn't have many options.

"…"

"…"

Unlike before when Zirrack would immediately cut the link, both of them were looking at each other for some time before Walden spoke up.

"For now, entrance to the Bulian hills will be restricted to all adventurers till…" At that moment Zirrack cut off the communication link.

"Why do I have a feeling he is doing this on purpose?" Walden sighed.

…

After a few hours of sleep, the trio had finally woken up. Blake was the last to wake up and just like the last time, he had a throbbing pain in his head.

[You should reduce how frequently you use mind boost. Not only do you have severe backlash, but it isn't training your mind in any way.] The system said after checking Blake's mental condition.

'I know, but it's not as if I have any other option. Without mind boost, we will all be dead by now.' Blake said as he massaged his temples.

Without mind boost not only would he have been unable to instantly shut down a golem, but he wouldn't have been able to instantly open so many spatial corridors.

"What the fuck?" Brian and Castiel's voice made Blake stop massaging his temples and check out his environment.

"Holy fuck!"
