My Space-Time System

Chapter 526 The Voice.





In the space of a few minutes, the number of King rank beasts attacking Blake's group had been reduced from 13 to 8 while still maintaining 0 casualties in the fight.

Although the actions of this group of beasts were driven by hunger; seeing that 5 of them died in such a short space of time, their mind-consuming hunger was replaced by the fear of being turned to food.

Without wasting another second, the remaining 8 king rank beasts turned back and began running out of the hall without turning back.

"Don't give chase, help the other team." Blake instructed his pets and his team.

Unlike the group of beasts he faced, those of Major Erik was directly controlled by the cursed entity. Their attacks were more coordinated and deadly, leading to greater pressure and a few casualties that were sure to go up if nothing was done.

'I would have loved to stand by and watch him suffer, but his team members don't deserve to suffer for his stupidity. Also, we will need as much help as possible if we are to continue exploring.' Blake thought as he joined the fight.

With the concentrated fire of 100 ash corps as well as 2 king-rank beasts and a Demigod, the tides were instantly turned. In less than 2 minutes 6 of the 22 King rank beasts had been taken down while 2 were currently being pinned down by Ebony and Ivory and were on their last breath.

The cursed entity soon realized that keeping its minions there would only lead to a useless death. So it commanded them to immediately retreat. 

'Argh! He is going to take all the glory!' Major Erick was frustrated at seeing the result of Blake's assistance.

He could not complain because his team really needed the help, but he couldn't help but feel frustrated because after acting all-powerful and splitting up, he was the one in a worse position.

"Let's get moving." Blake told his team, causing Erik's teammates to turn to him.

After losing 7 members to traps and beasts, the members of his unit were totally against the idea of splitting up, but they couldn't voice their opinions.

'Asking to come along will be shameful, but…' Major Erik looked at the pleading eyes of his team unit.

'F*ck it. ' Major Erik sighed.

Although he was a proud man, he wouldn't put the lives of his team in danger because of his pride, especially after seeing how dangerous the ruin was.

"Where are you headed to?" Major Erik asked.

"Why should I tell you?" Blake answered with a smirk, it was clear that he wanted to cause trouble.

'Why is he so petty?!' Major Erik cursed Blake a thousand times before continuing.

"It would be beneficial to all if we combine our discoveries so far and cooperate to solve this problem." Major Erik replied with a straight face.

'This fellow is truly shameless.' Blake was shocked by how someone could be so shameless and still maintain a straight face.

[Kettle calling pot black.] The system snorted.

"If I remember correctly, I proposed something along this line a few hours ago. Seems like the result of your decision has made you a better listener." Blake chuckled. 

"Anyways, I am heading deeper into the ruin to destroy the power core and the cursed entity controlling the ruin." Blake said.

Although he wanted to make Major Erik lose face, he still had a use for him and his team. So overdoing it would only have an adverse effect.

"Can we come along?" Major Erik swallowed even more pride as he asked.

"Sure, as long as you don't get in our way." Blake answered nonchalantly causing Erik to boil on the inside.

The hall had 4 stone doors; the one behind them led back to the entrance, those at the left and right led to the female and male living quarters respectively, while the one in front led deeper into the ruin.

With everything settled, they broke through the stone wall in front and began moving deeper into the ruin. This time, they were no longer being chased by beasts, and even the Cursed entity didn't bother wasting its energy on traps.

They got to another junction but continued moving forward. After 3 minutes of uninterrupted walking, they arrived at what seemed to be a chapel.

"If I am correct, the ruin seems to be a Monastery." Blake said after confirming it was a chapel.

Just like other parts of the ruin, the walls which once had a vibrant shade of red were now faded and covered in moss. Parts of the walls were cracked and crumbling, the plaster flaking away to reveal the rough stone beneath. 

The floor was covered in a layer of sand and debris, and the wooden pews had long since rotted away.

At the front of the chapel was a broken statue of the deity of the inhabitants of the monastery. All that was left of it were the base and broken stones scattered all around the floor.

"From the South we came, from the South we shall return." An ash corp read out the writing on the base of the statute.

"What the hell does that even mean?" Another ash corp asked.

'Isn't it common sense to not read things aloud in a ruin?!' Blake felt like beating the ash corp up. 

'On a serious note, what does that mean?' Blake asked the system.

[How am I supposed to know?!]

'Are you not supposed to be the all-knowing system?' Blake shook his head at the system's incompetence.

'Which door leads to the power core?' Blake used the locator spell, but that was when he noticed red sand at the left door.

'What the hell is going on, how did red sand get inside here?' Blake was alarmed.

The red zone wasn't the only place that had red sand, but the fact that the ruin was so close to the red zone was more than enough reason to be alarmed.

'Is there anything wrong?' Blake couldn't help but ask the system.

[Everything seems to be normal, but you have to be very careful.] The system said.

After making sure that nothing was wrong, Blake was about to give the other to move, but they stopped in their tracks by a voice coming from the walls.

"Welcome, it's been years since anything made it here." 

With fear written all over their faces, the ash corps looked around in search of the source of the voice.
