My Space-Time System

Blake and the system were right about many things concerning the ruin and the cursed entity controlling it, but they weren't completely right about the power source of the ruin being almost depleted.

The ruin's power core energy level was low, but it wasn't as low and powerless as they thought.

When Major Erik had decided to split up from Blake's team, the cursed entity controlling the ruin channeled most of its energy into the left side of the ruin where he was heading. 

The reason for this was simply because Major Erik was the only demigod-level Ash corp in both groups so it was best to eliminate the supposed highest threat.

The ruin was previously a monastery for a religious group, and its layout which housed females at the left and males at the right was perfectly symmetrical.

Just like Blake, Major Erik had first branched into the living quarters with multiple doors that spanned down the long passage.

After telling his team to stand back, Major Erik began approaching the first door. Although the door seemed normal and he couldn't sense anything behind it, he still didn't let his guard down.

He twisted the door handle and pushed open the door. Almost instantly a King rank pray mantis lunged at him and slashed its raptorial leg at his neck to decapitate him in one fell swoop.

Without thinking, Major Erick activated lightning morph and transformed into a thick bolt of lightning that shot right through the king-rank praying mantis, killing it on the spot.

'That was too easy…' He was shocked.

Although the lightning element of the demigod realm had extraordinary penetrative abilities, he was still facing a King rank insect with an extremely hard exoskeleton. So he was shocked to see it get one shotted.

'I am strong for sure, but definitely not strong enough to one-shot a King rank. Something is definitely wrong here.' Major Erick said to himself, but that was when he suddenly remembered something.

'If a king rank is in this room doesn't that mean that…'

Before he could complete the sentence in his head, the clicking sounds of doors being unlocked were heard all around the corridor.

Without wasting another second, Major Erick zoomed out of the room and back into the corridor. Immediately he came out of the room his acute senses picked up the mana that had started flowing through the walls. 

"Shit!"

He looked back to the path they came from and cursed when he saw it was now blocked by a wall.

With his strength, he would be able to break down the wall, but the wall was now strengthened by the mana flowing through it.

To make matters worse it was at this moment that tens of king-rank beasts were coming out of the rooms.

'I won't be able to break the wall in time, the only option is to run.' He had a deep frown on his face as he saw the situation.

Unlike the beasts on Blake's side, these ones were not fighting each other. Their eyes were glowing and they were all moving toward Erik and his team.

They were being controlled by the entity controlling the ruin!

"Captain Neville, take the team through the other path. Also, watch out for the traps, they have now been activated." Major Erik said to his second in command as the wind around them began swirling around him.

Seeing the humans escaping, the cursed entity controlled the beasts to charge at them and hunt them down.

In an instant 5 King rank beasts were already in front of Major Erick. He lifted his hands and released a burst of wind that sent them crashing into others behind them.

Making use of this opportunity, Major Erik began retreating while charging his spells. 

The beasts quickly recovered and continued their charge, but as they charged into the passage, they were met with 2 tornadoes covering the blocking area ahead.

Unfortunately for the King rank beasts at the forefront, they had turned into the passage with so much speed that they couldn't stop in time, causing the suction force of the tornados to suck them in and tear them to shreds.

'Are they so weak because they have been trapped in here for years?' Major Erik couldn't help but ask as he saw the King rank beasts and insects die so easily.

AH!

While still thinking of what had just happened, Erik's train of thought was shattered by an explosion followed by the scream of a member of his unit whose lower body had been blown to bits.

'How are they still falling into the traps, they are literally out in the open?!' Erik thought as he turned back and saw that nothing was amiss.

On turning back to the beasts, they had bombarded the tornadoes with spells, shutting them down and continuing their charge at them, but Erik lifted his hands and released hundreds of wind blades at them.

"Help!"

"What the fuck?!" Major Erik turned back to see that another member of his unit had fallen into a trap. This time instead of a magic mine, it was a faulty teleportation array.

Instead of getting teleported away from the area, the Ash cop was surrounded by spatial arrays and was teleporting in and out of the passage.

Major Erik released a wind blast to punish the beasts further back before flying toward the ash corp and studying his situation for a second before making a decision.

"Keep moving there is nothing we can do about it." Major Erik said with a heavy heart. 

He was no expert in the field of spatial magic, and although he could try some things there was no way he could save him in time. So the best course of action was to continue moving.

'I can't let this continue to happen.' Major Erik immediately flew to the front of the group before casting Wind tunnel on the passage to increase their movement speeds. This way he would be able to discover any more hidden traps and save his team.

The only problem was that they wouldn't have much defense at the backline.
