Chapter 580 Rescue Mission (part 2).
Seeing that Blake's attention was now on him, the royal family's Advanced demigod turned in his direction and shot out a large wind drill infused with golden flames.
"You have to do better than that." Blake taunted as he easily sidestepped, however, almost simultaneously hundreds of water spells from the water Wheel, as well as a water whip that aimed to capture him.
'Annoying!' Blake harrumphed as he conjured a forcefield that blocked all the attacks.
Not giving them a chance to continue their attacks, Blake went into a spatial tear but created 3 exits. Two were close to the descendants of the ancient families while the last one was behind Maximus.
Blake had a cheeky smile on his face as he thought. 'My goal is to save him not to fight you all.'
The ancestral descendants saw the 3rd exit point, but they didn't dare turn their backs on the spatial tears. Also, since Blake had placed the exit point behind Maximus, it made stopping him in time very difficult even if they had the guts.
'All I need is just to touch him!' Blake screamed in his head as he dashed out of the spatial tear and stretched out his hand to come in contact with his comrade before activating Spatial lock.
However, just when he was inches away from contact with Maximus, Blake felt an intense sense of danger, and immediately backed off.
'Almost!' Blake's heart skipped as he realized his right hand would have been on the floor if not for his intuition.
Just as he retracted his hand, an extremely thin but high-pressured line of water passed the position his hand just left.
'Almost!' Blake's heart skipped as he realized his right hand would have been on the floor if not for his intuition.
"Do you think we are dumb to not see through your tricky?" Cedric Blackthorn said as he appeared beside Maximus and instantly broke through all of his defences before lifting the battered assassin by his neck.
'Shit!' Blake cursed as he saw the Councillor slowly squeezing the life out of Maximus.
'I was so close to saving him…' Before Blake had the time to feel disappointed in himself, he heard Dorian's voice scream in his head.
"The Mission has failed, get out of there now!'
'Fuck!' Blake's intuition was screaming at him to get out of there. It was at that moment that Aurelius Frostborne appeared behind with his right hand emitting a deadly aura of frost.
With a rage-filled heart, he thrust his right hand toward Blake at an insane speed.
Spatial lock!
Just as his hand was a hairbreadth away from Blake, he instantly vanished into his pocket dimension.
"…" A deep frown formed on the councillor's face as he still went on to thrust his right hand forward.
This forward motion stabbed into space, and with a little movement, he sliced it in half and stepped right into the spatial tear.
Immediately, a blue halo enveloped his body and protected him from the dangers of the Void. He began looking around trying to sense if Blake's presence was still lingering at any point.
"Shit!"
After some time, he was still unable to find anything. So he went back through the spatial tear and exited the void.
"Nothing?" Cedric Blackthorn asked as he saw Aurelius come out empty-handed, but he shook his head in response.
At the same time, Ebony and Ivory as well as Dorian's clone had left the battle, marking the end of the battle and the success of the mission.
However, the series of events that just took place had etched itself in Castiel's mind. He had watched how Blake had unleashed chaos on the strike teams' formation without even on the battlefield.
These were all demigods that were at least two levels above him!
'Not only did his presence instil fear in their hearts, but he toyed with them like ragdolls.' Castiel was beyond surprised by how much Blake had grown.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Blake one-shotted Orion and Thalia. It was just that hearing and experiencing it in real life had different effects on him.
The worst part was that, throughout the fight, not for once did Blake turn his attention to them. It was as if all their efforts were non-existent.
It made Castiel feel useless.
At this point, Castiel couldn't help but think that his life as an adventurer had slowed down his growth by a considerable rate.
'This isn't just a matter of him being in the demigod realm or having three elements. There was a feeling of calmness in his movements even though he was in the middle of danger. This is something that could only be gotten through a lot of experience.'
'The life of an adventurer isn't as tasking as that of an Ash corp talk less of an Assassin. Fighting beasts can't compete with dealing with humans or extremely difficult situations that can endanger the city.' Castiel was in deep thought as the battlefield was being cleared by the Ash corps that arrived at the scene.
'I don't think continuing in the Adventurer association is the best thing for my growth. However, I still have no plans to join the Ash crops. Maybe Luciano has a solution to that.' Castiel thought as he felt a fire to get stronger burning within him.
…
"That was close!" Blake let out a long sigh of relief as sweat trickled down his forehead.
Although Aurelius hadn't come in contact with him, the deadly frost aura emanating from his hand had dealt damage. The colour of his back had turned pale, and the frost seemed to be gradually spreading.
'If not taken care of, I will turn to a block of ice in no time.' Blake felt chills run down his spine as he thought about how dangerous a Battle Angel was.
The good thing was that Ebony and Ivory who joined him in the pocket dimension were now healing him.
'He seems to have left a tracking mark on you, but thankfully this place hides you perfectly.' Ivory's statement shocked Blake.
Worry was written all over his face as he asked. 'Can you get rid of it?'
"Not totally." Ebony and Ivory replied in unison.
"No problem, I will have to bring Dorian here." Blake shook his head.
