My Space-Time System

Chapter 269: Psycho Blake II.

By now many people both in the afterlife and still in the land of leaving knew it was useless running from away from Blake. Even the system was dying from laughter when it saw their useless attempt.

"I never said you could leave." Blake said as he appeared in front of one of the fleeing nobles and stomped his foot into his knee cap, instantly shattering it and sending him tumbling.

He appeared in front of another and slammed his fist into his rib cage and causing the golden barrier to stop the bones from piercing into his heart and lungs.

'Wow! Didn't know I had so much strength.' Blake was shocked by how lethal his punch was. He had used the effect of the Raiju breathing technique to make sure that he got more than a broken rib, but didn't expect such a result.

[You forgot that the cells at your right hand had been energized during your body enhancement class.] The system reminded Blake.

The body enhancement process involved 2 out of the 3 steps of using a combat technique. Why it was so strong was that Blake hadn't gone through the normal process but had mistakenly used the energized body part.

'That only makes things easier.' Blake increased his speed at which he began mowing down on the nobles.

The spectators had an eerie expression on their faces as they watched and listened to be a one-sided beat down with a bone-cracking and screaming soundtrack.

Soon the number of the nobles still standing was left to one, but he had managed to get to the injured commoner.

"Let me go and he wouldn't have to suffer more." The noble said in a desperate tone as he pointed his sweaty palm at the commoner, showing that he was ready to fire a spell.

'Why didn't you inform me that he was going for the commoner?' Blake asked the system.

[I was enjoying the show and you didn't ask me to.] The system defended itself. [But I have to confess he is really stupid for doing that.]

'Very stupid.' Blake couldn't help but agree with the system. 'The question is how do I want to deal with the issue?'

The noble took Blake's silence as him being ready to comply, but he had no idea that it was just seconds before his gruesome fate was decided.

Before dropping off the injured commoner, Blake had left him with a void dagger. He could just warp behind the noble, but if the noble saw him move he could just attack.

Blake currently had 2 options. He could take the carefree approach and dive him through a spatial tear or He could open a spatial tear behind him and control lightning to stun the noble before attacking.

The first approach wasn't too bad because according to the system's calculations, the commoner was at his last straw and would be saved by the golden dome. That was why Blake had been careful to only break only one limb on each noble to make sure they weren't healed immediately.

Blake was seconds away from making a decision when a lightning bolt struck the noble out of nowhere.

"That makes things easy." Blake took a step back and appeared behind the noble before grabbing him on the head and began shocking him just like he had done to the Black Scorpion gang member at the hideout.

"No. Doing that would only give you an easy escape." Blake said as he grabbed noble's hand and broke it before moving to the knee.

After he picked the void dagger and was sure that he was done, Blake turned to the direction the lightning came from and saw Camilla before walking to her.

"Thanks for the help." Blake said with a smile on his face.

"You drop one of your daggers with him, so you didn't need my help." Camilla said as she acted nonchalantly.

"True, but I still have to thank you for the thought and effort." Blake said.

Being a little shy that she was being praised by Blake, Camilla tried to change the topic. "Aren't you going to take him to the clinic?" She said pointing at the injured commoner.

"My goal was to save him by ending the match not to carry him to the clinic or do you want me to break a rib to send him directly to the clinic?" Blake asked causing Camilla to chuckle.

Blake had decided he had done enough mind-clearing for one day. So he decided to head back to his room, but coincidentally Camilla was also on her way to the Castle too so they continued chatting all the way.

"You did good today and if continue this way, you might win my heart." Blake said with a smirk as he unlocked his room before waving at Camilla.

Using heat vision, Blake watched as Camilla stood there for some time before smiling and leaving.

…

"So much for clearing my mind." Blake sighed.

After Blake was done freshening up, he went into a crossed-legged position and began circulating mana back and forth with his right hand.

Although he had tried multiple times and had failed, Blake heightened his senses to observe the process of mana absorption by the cells, but that was when he noticed something.

"Is it me or did the rate of absorption increase?" Blake was shocked by this and began wondering what would have sped it up.

"I must have happened during the fight." Blake began recounting everything that happened during the fight till the present moment.

"When I began circulating mana around my hand, the ones previously absorbed by the cells were completely depleted and could be said to be overused. Meaning that the rate of absorption increased only because I completely depleted the ones in reserve." Blake said in realization.

[Right on point.] The system which had been quiet all this while decided to speak.

[Just like Zirrack explained, the process of the cell absorbing mana is an adaption process to prevent mana from harming the pathways. So what you just discovered now is something similar.] The system explained.
