My Space-Time System

493 Journey to Duststar (final part)

Once it was daybreak, Blake as well as Ebony and Ivory were up and looking out the windows. He had only rested for less than 3 hours but thanks to being in the Hero realm that was more than what he needed.

When it was time for breakfast Blake took out food he had stored in his dimensional pocket, while also giving Ebony and Ivory beast cores to munch on.

[I am surprised that you of all people are willing to spend so much on feeding them.] The system said as it watched Ebony and Ivory made short work of more than 20 knight-rank beast cores.

Ebony and Ivory were artifacts, so they actually didn’t hunger, thus having no need for beast cores to survive.

“Firstly, they are my closest friends so I have to take care of them.” Blake’s heart was pained as the mention of friends reminded him of the 2 that betrayed him.

“Secondly, I have more than enough resources to constantly feed them knight-rank beast cores for more than 10 years.”

The only reason Blake was taking it slow and hadn’t purchased hundreds of King rank beast cores was that the advancement of beasts wasn’t that straightforward.

Just like humans, beasts are also required to pass certain tests or complete certain tasks to advance. Also, they still had to intensely train their bodies more than that of humans to enable them to survive the next advancement process.

“Lastly, feeding could be said to be another form of investment. So, it’s a win-win situation.” Blake smiled, but Ebony and Ivory barked at him for seeing them as investments.

.....

…

After another 10 hours and 30 minutes of traveling the carriage had to stop again, but this time the Sun was still high up in the sky. They were far out of the Bulian hills and were now in the Kasten mountain range.

The area Kasten Mountain range was basically a rainforest with mountains, and according to the map; it was so huge that it stretched past Duststar city.

Blake once again tried exploring the forest, but it was now more than clear that having Ebony and Ivory out in the open was no different than beast repellents; if they existed.

The worst part was that almost all the plants and trees in that area were the same as those found in the Mina woods.

After the 5 hours resting period, it was evening and they were back in the carriage.

The carriage moved for less than 30 minutes before Ebony and Ivory suddenly stood up and began barking in the direction in front of them.

“Stop the carriage!” Using the mind link between him and his pets, Blake quickly understood what was going on and wasted no time instructing the carriage driver to stop.

‘Why is he telling me to stop?’ The carriage driver couldn’t help but ask as checked the detector arrays and found nothing. Nonetheless, he pulled the reins causing the Brunx to come to a halt.

“Captain Blake, what is the problem?” The carriage driver asked.

“There is danger up ahead.” Blake answered as he and Ebony and Ivory alighted from the carriage.

“I just checked the detection arrays, there is nothin…” Before the carriage driver could complete the sentence, the carriage’s alarms went off.

The driver quickly looked up in front and lo and behold, 10 wind bombs were dropping from the sky.

“What do we do?!” The carriage driver asked in a terrified tone.

The 10 wind attacks were from a King rank beast, so he was not confident that the barriers of the carriage would be able to block it.

Awoo!

Ebony howled in anger as its marking began glowing and its body increased to its original height of 5 meters before jumping forward and producing 10 flame bursts of equal power.

BOOM!

Both sets of spells clashed, producing violent shockwaves that bent trees 15 meters away.

“Take the carriage out of here, we will deal with this.” Blake said to the dazed carriage driver.

Snapping out of his reverie, the carriage driver pulled the reins, dragging the Brunx away from the battle.

[The attacking beast is a King rank steel beak Bald eagle.] The system reported.

Blake was about to think of the quickest way to take down a flying beast, but that was when Ivory roared in the direction of the trees to Blake’s left.

Seeing that its cover had been blown, the King rank sabertooth jaguar dashed out of the forest.

Ivory immediately turned to its original height and conjured hundreds of ice spears that shot at the Jaguar.

“I thought Sabertooth Jaguars awakened the earth element, so how the hell is it so fast?!” Blake was shocked to see the Sabertooth Jaguar continuously evade the ice spears while inching closer.

At the same time, 3 earth waves of earth spikes began erupting from the ground as they made there way to Ivory and Blake.

With a stomp of its paw, Ivory conjured 3 waves of ice spikes that countered that of the Sabertooth Jaguar, but the panther had already repositioned to their side and lunged at Blake.

An ice wall appeared in front of Blake, but that was when the steel beak bald eagle sent out wind blades at Blake.

‘Is it me or are these things trying to kill me?’ Blake couldn’t help but ask as he warped behind Ivory.

[You don’t mean it? Why don’t you tell me more!] The system said a sarcastic tone and ended up screaming the last part.

“You know what I mean!” Blake screamed back at the system.

During his previous fight against King rank beasts, the beasts usually focused on fighting Ebony and Ivory since Blake would be an easy kill once his pets were taken care of.

In this case, the Sabertooth Jaguar and steel beak bald eagle were using their insane mobility to constantly evade Ebony and Ivory and attack him. It was as if they were tasked to kill him.

[Now you mention it, what are the chances that 2 King rank beasts would team up just to attack you.] The system said.

There were a lot of things wrong with the situation, and the system’s words raised more questions.

“We can think of that later, for now, let’s focus on the battle.” Blake said.

The good thing about the situation was that there was no one around, so Blake was free to use his full strength.

‘They think I am a sitting duck. It’s time to show them what I can do.’ Blake said to Ebony and Ivory using the mind link.

Ivory opened its mouth and fired an ice beam at the Sabertooth jaguar who easily evade the attack, but that was when a spatial tear opened in its path.

Dodging the ice beam, the King rank Jaguar repositioned itself, but that was when a spatial tear opened at its side and the ice beam shot out from it.

Luckily for the jaguar it had sensed the spatial disturbance in time and had conjured an earth pillar that slowed the beam, giving it enough time to jump out of the way.

Grrr!

The panther let out a low grunt as it stared at Blake in annoyance. The human was even giving it even more reasons to kill him.

The Jaguar activated Earth guardian by stomping its feet on the ground; causing rocks to fly into the air and float around it.

Seeing this, Ivory conjured a wave of water thrice the size of the jaguar, before firing hundreds of ice spikes at the sides to prevent it from evading the wave.

“Huh?”

Blake was confused when the wave of water and ice spells didn’t hit their marks, but that was when Ivory informed him that the Jaguar had gone underground and was coming at them.

The jaguar erupted from the ground behind Blake as it clawed at him, but it was also then that Ivory shot a beam of water at him.

Void steps!

Without turning around, spatial tears appeared in front and behind Blake causing the beam of water to pass through him and crash into the Jaguar.

The jaguar was sent flying, but the bald eagle was already diving toward him with it steel beak.

“Give me a break, will you?” Blake remained calm as he opened a spatial corridor and Ebony jumped out of it.

Grr!

Ebony growled as it lunged at the bald eagle before clamping on its beak and slamming it to the ground.

“Back to you.” Blake said as he threw out a void dagger at the still recovering Jaguar.

Seeing how dangerous the human could be, the Sabertooth jaguar decided it was best to dodge, but to its greatest surprise, Blake walked out of the spatial corridor that opened behind it.
