My Space-Time System

Except for Langston, the professors weren't speed-type magicians meaning they couldn't give chase and since Langston wouldn't be a match for it on his own, he didn't border chasing it.

Taking out his communicator, professor Vadik contacted instructor Zirrack. "It's all up to you."

…

The past three days had been quite peaceful for his group, even when they had moved to a new campsite they weren't attacked by beasts.

His hunt for beast cores was bountiful compared to usual, it was as if the more magical beast were in the area. The team had finally yielded and begun hunting with him, but even though he still got more beast cores than usual.

During that period, he began praying the days went by slowly so that he could hunt for more beast cores before the exercise was over. He was glad about his bountiful harvest but his hunch kept telling him that something was wrong.

It was quite odd because most beasts were territorial and seeing them in relatively the same area was strange, it was as if they had no other choice. Although he was wary of the cause, Blake saw it as an opportunity.

Unknown to him an insentient king-rank beast was born and the forest had to pay for the crime of the over-ambitious drax who wanted to against the will of the mother stream.

Immediately the evolutionary process went wrong and the abomination was formed, it flew out of the underground cave and went on a rampage against every living thing in its path.

With the strength of a king-rank beast, it was unstoppable and with its extremely corrosive abilities, it polluted many paths of the forest rendering many beasts homeless, leading to the mass migration of a lot of beasts in the forest.

The increase in a magical beast made the system's dimensional space almost fill up and also caused the increase in his cultivation speed.

Just like the weapon grades, that of dimensional amulets were the same, High-quality amulets were used by top-tier nobles and had thrice the space of a large room. But the system's dimensional was 4 times the size of that, so for it to be almost full showed how many beasts Blake had hunted.

(AN: the grade for weapons and other items is the same (unless I say otherwise) and in case you have forgotten; Mythical grade, Legendary grade, Epic grade, High-quality grade, Middle grade, Low grade, and Common grade.)

As for his cultivation, the problem was no longer beast crystal but only the time to absorb the energy. He hunted during the day and absorbed during the night, he even had to reduce his sleeping hours to absorb energy.

With the passive of the space element that gave him greater sensitivity and control over mana, coupled with the abundant beast cores, his cultivation speed was heavenly! Within 5 days he had gone from the 11th star to half of the 16th star.

He was planning on using the night to advance to the champion realm, but it seemed it wouldn't be possible anymore because big trouble was on its way.

[A beast had entered detection range; from its mana and heat flow it is a… OH MY GOD.] The system was stunned and short of words when it identified the incoming beast.

'A what?' Blake felt tensed by the words of the system; this was the first time he ever heard the system speak in a grave tone.

[Its… It's a wyvern…] The system stuttered in fear.

'Do you mean a king-rank wyvern?' Blake's heart dropped into his stomach when he heard the system's words.

He was quite sure he could defeat an elite-rank beast on his own depending on the beast, against a knight-rank beast he wasn't too sure if he could escape, but against a king-rank beast, it was surely a death sentence.

The news of one heading his way made his courage as the rank 1 of the magic school crumble. Fear had taken over him and having no idea of how to react in such situations, Blake turned to the most reliable person he knew, the system.

'What should I do? Run?' Blake asked the system as he began sweating profusely.

[There is nothing we can do… It should have already sensed all living things in the area by now, running isn't even an option.] The system sounded helpless.

If it was something that wasn't so many leagues above them, it would have surely found a way to survive, but unfortunately, there was no hope.

"Why are you like that?" Luciano couldn't help but ask when he noticed how much Blake was sweating, drawing the attention of the other members of the group, but before he could answer a wyvern landed in the front of the group.

"Is… Isn't that… a wyvern?" Esmeralda stuttered in fear as she took several steps back before tripping.

The king-rank beast thought to be only a myth was standing right in front of them staring at them with a twisted hungry look on its face.

The other members of the team had similar reactions to the wyvern's arrival, Layla was on her knees as she stared at it with horror and disbelief in her eyes. Ansgar was the worst, his bladder had been let loose at the sight of the beast before he fainted.

Out of the 5, it was only Blake and Luciano who were still on their feet. Although they were shocked to the core, they still stood in the same spots as they passed through different emotions.

'I can't die just like this.'

'How can I die just after choosing my own path?'

'That means I won't be able to see mom again?'

'I still have many things to accomplish…'

"I can't die just like that!" Both of them screamed in unison, as their fear had turned to rage. Scorching golden flames covered Luciano, and lightning arcs squirmed all over Blake's body, but before they could charge to their deaths a familiar voice came into their ears.

"It was a simple job, but they couldn't complete it!" The familiar voice roared in an enraged tone.

When they turned to the source of the voice, they saw instructor Zirrack walking towards the wyvern with his whole body enveloped by darkish-purple flames twice the size of Luciano's. His eyes were burning with rage, his iris could no longer be seen because they were burning with darkish-purple flames.

[That is the darkish-purple flames and he is in rage mode!] The system suddenly came to life when it saw instructor Zirrack.

"If I was you guys, I won't be around here!" Instructor Zirrack yelled in rage with his eyes locked on the wyvern.

The rage mode gave the user immense firepower and prevents them from dying in a berserker state, but it had a disadvantage which was that the user would be angered by anything and wouldn't be able to control much of his/her thoughts.

(AN: I think I've been confusing a lot of people. The berserk state kills the fire user, while rage mode cures it. If the cure sounds flimsy to you, drop your suggestion in the comment section and I will change it.)

Getting back to their senses, Blake and Luciano dispelled their spells before carrying their teammates and getting far away from the area as possible, because even the chaotic aura that would be produced from their clash would be enough to kill them.

"Hmmm… A berserk king-rank beast wants to fight the kingslayer, pitiful!" Zirrack was enraged more by the weakness of its enemy.

HISS!

The wyvern was enraged by the humans that continued to interrupt its feeding time. At least this time it was only one human and no one else.

Taking a deep breath, corrosive liquids came up its lungs before spewing it at the human, but because the air 3 meters from instructor Zirrack was literally on fire, the corrosion breath evaporated before it could even touch.

"Like I said a berserk king-rank beast is no match for me!" Instructor Zirrack roared as the fire enveloping him flared up becoming a pillar of darkish-purple flames which could be seen by Blake's group that was more than a hundred meters away.

"Haaaaa!" Clenching his fist tight, Zirrack rushed towards it, but the wyvern was rooted to the spot because the heat being released by Zirrack made it feel like the sun was coming towards it.

After Zirrack had released his oppressing aura, the wyvern's anger had changed to fear, and out of instincts, it crossed its arms in an attempt to block the attack, but when Zirrack's burning fist came in contact with its arm an explosion occurred that incinerated within 50 meters and sending a powerful shockwave that traveled hundreds of meters.

BOOM!

Another explosion occurred but this time it came from the wyvern. A pillar of darkish-purple flames burst through its crossed arms and out from its back, turning all the trees behind it into ash.
