My Space-Time System

The team continued to watch as the battle between the 2 groups raged on, but slowly it began tilting towards the side of the centipedes.

The army of 50 ants were led by a Knight-rank ant against 15, 7 poison centipedes. They were numbered more than 3 to one, but somehow the centipedes were wining.

Apart from the Knight rank ant, the others were finding it hard to penetrate the hard exoskeleton of the 7 poison centipedes. Coupled with their length which was close to 4 times that of the ants, the centipedes were able to handle 3 ants at a time without much problems.

"If we let the centipedes we would lose a lot of points, we have to end it now they are busy." Blake said, signaling the team to attack.

Kade and Beyoni cast water and earth barriers blocking their path of retreat, while the Blake, Damon and Sach jumped into the midst of the battle.

With the 2 sides in heated battle, they had no clue when the humans entered their midst and began killing anything that came their way.

'This is way easier than out previous battles.' Blake thought as he ran through the battlefield harvesting the lives of the insects like the grim reaper.

KI! KI! KI!

The knight rank ant furiously clanked its mandibles when it sensed the presence of the humans slaying its brothers.

It quickly bit of the bit of the head of the centipede facing it, before rushing towards Blake who was dealing the most damage among the others.

[Watch out!] The system warned Blake as the knight rank ant suddenly appeared behind his head and snapped his mandibles at his neck.

'Wow!' Thanks to the lightning reinforcement that was already active, Blake was able to dodge the attack and distance himself from the knight-rank ant.

'Is that ant fast or what?!' Blake was still stunned by the how he was barely able to dodge the attack, when an acidic spit came hurling at him.

'Shit!' Blake quickly cast a flameburst that propelled him out of the way.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The acidic spit missed Blake and landed on a 7 poison centipede and 2 ants, instantly melting them on the spot.

'What the hell! This shit is too dangerous to be left alive.' Blake tightened his grip on his swords as he took in a deep breath and dashed towards the knight-rank ant.

He slashed forward with Ebony at his right hand, but the knight rank ant had dodged the attack and slashed at him with 2 of its limbs.

'How is it keeping up with my lightning reinforcement boosted by Raiju breathing technique?' Blake as shocked by the Knight-rank ant's reaction speed, but didn't fail to dodge its attacks before retreating.

'This is going to be troublesome.' Blake thought.

…

Some distance away from the battlefield, Ansgar was watching the points of the rise from the holographic projection of his badge.

"This isn't fair at all. Not only are they facing a knight-rank ant, but they would also get free points from the 7 poison centipedes." Ansgar thought as malice and anger kept on rising in his heart.

"No! He can't just have all the individual points like that. I have to find a way to steal the knight-rank beast." Individual points were similar to team points. Meaning if he was to kill it he would be getting

Ansgar soon came to a conclusion and began heading back to the battlefield to wait and deal the last blow to the knight-rank ant.

All these while he was thinking about it, he had no idea that the ring he wore that was similar to that given to all nobles had been glowing since the mission started.

…

Unknown to both Ansgar and the rest of the team. A bigger army of 100 elite rank ants were being sent to their location to reinforce the previous ones on their fights against the centipedes.

And since Ansgar had left his position, there was no one to warn them about the incoming when it arrived.

…

Back battlefield.

Blake had seen that the knight-rank ant was slightly better than him when it came to speed and it need to land only a single attack at his vitals to end his life. That was why he decided to take a new approach.

Ebony and Ivory were practically a one shot one kill weapon, but since it could dodge his strikes, the only option was to reduce its movement area.

'Let's do this!' Blake dashed forward dodging the ants acidic spit before he spun beside it and thrust Ebony at its thorax.

The knight quickly moved back but that was when a mana barrier formed behind it restricting its movement and giving it no other choice than to deflect it with one of its limbs.

KI! KI! KI!

The knight rank screeched in pain as the part that came in contact with ebony was instantly chopped off.

'Time to end this.' Happy with the result, Blake continued with the same strategy as he cut 2 of its limbs and antennae.

With a lot of bleeding and a little lightning that affected its entire nervous system. The Knight-rank ant lay on the ground in pain waiting for Blake to end it, but that was when an earth spike appeared from below and pierced through its brain.

'What the…' Blake was shocked by the development and instinctively turned to Kade who was the only earth user around, but he was engaged in physical combat with some ants. Meaning there was no way he would have done that.

That was when the system informed him about Ansgar who was on one of the tree tops.

'That bastard!' Blake rained curses on Ansgar, but it only turned out to be a very deep frown on the outside.

'I will have to deal with him later, but wait…' Blake paused for a second. ' If he is right here, then who is on the lookout?'

[24 ants just entered detection range, 37, 68, 100 ants just entered detection range.] The system reported.
