My Space-Time System

Chapter 396: Space Traveler.

Since that was all with the fire element, Blake moved over to the lightning element.

The hero level of the lightning element was called Dynamo, and unlike the fire that had 4 new abilities, the lightning element had only 3 new abilities.

The first ability was Energy drain, and just like the name implied, it drained the energy of whoever the user came in contact with.

The human body required electricity for the nervous system to send signals throughout the body. So by intercepting and absorbing the electrical charges, the movement of the target would be delayed.

Energy drain worked in stacks, The first use wouldn’t have much effect on the target, but the more it was used, the greater the effect.

The 2nd ability was lightning morph, and it gave the user the ability to turn their entire body into a bolt of lightning. In this form, they would be able to move at lightning speed, to either dodge or initiate attacks.

The only downside of the ability was that it could only be used twice in the space of 24 hours and this was because of the stress the ability placed on the human body.

.....

“How does it feel to crash headfirst into the wooden dummy?” Brian couldn’t help but ask.

“When I am in the lightning form I become intangible, thus immune to physical attacks. So I don’t feel anything.” Blake replied.

“What happens when you are to go against an impregnable object?” Castiel asked.

“Well, lightning morph has a time duration of a second, so if I cannot penetrate the target, I will revert to my original form.” Blake answered.

“The final ability of the lightning pathway is Neuron overload. It increases the user’s thought process and reaction speed. It’s just like mind boost.” Blake complained because even the side effect was the same as that of mind boost.

[There is a big difference. Neuron overload just increases your thought process and reaction speed, but Mental boost also increases your mental capacity and fortitude which is why you are able to spam void shifts as if you are casting a fireball.] The system said.

“Are you done with your upgrade?” Blake asked the system that came out of nowhere.

[What upgrade?] The system asked.

‘You were out during the advancement process, so I thought that you were undergoing an upgrade just like when we were at Azkelwart’s base.’ Blake said.

[I also wished that was an upgrade, but the reason for my silence was the advancement process itself.]

[Unlike the Warrior and Champion which only improved your casting capabilities, the advancement process improved both your body and mind.]

The body improvement increased his vitality, strength, speed, and so on, while the mind improvement increases mental capacity, fortitude, and even resistance to things like illusions.

[So I had to switch off in order not to affect the advancement process.] The system explained.

“Well, that was disappointing.” Blake said as he explained to Brian and Castiel.

[So, moving over to the space element.] The system began explaining the new abilities and improvements in old abilities.

[The name of the Hero level of the space pathway is Space Traveler.]

[The 1st ability is an improvement that not only increases your ability to freeze space, but also allows you to move the frozen space.] The system said.

Blake wasted no time to freeze space in the shape of a cone before moving his twisting his right hand and causing the cone to rotate at astonishing speeds.

“This is beyond cool.” Blake said as he continued to play with the cone.

In terms of hardness, the earth was the sturdiest element, while space was just after it. So the improvement was a good addition to his almost non-existent defense.

[The 2nd ability is a new one, Telekinesis. The weight of what can be lifted is dependent on your mental fortitude.] The system said.

[The final ability is space travel, and it grants you the ability to open spatial corridors that warp you to any location you can see.] The system explained.

“Isn’t that a downgraded version of void shift since I can warp to anywhere the void daggers are?” Blake couldn’t help but ask.

[Void shift isn’t an official space spell, also the only reason you don’t get lost and die in the void is because of the daggers Professor Hoffenheim gave you.] The system said.

Unlike void shift that Blake had to manually tear a hole in space and create a spatial corridor using mana, Space travel did everything instantly.

All Blake had to do to activate the ability was have a location in sight, then create a spatial. Automatically, a spatial corridor would be made will be made with the help of the locator skill as the exit appears at the chosen location.

(AN: Just like I said in earlier chapters of MSTS, the reason Blake finds it easy to create a tear in space is because he is from the space pathway. That is why other students are finding it hard during dimension magic class)

By the time Blake was done testing all his new and improved abilities, it was already very late. So they went straight to bed.

...

With Blake having become the rank 1 student, Luciano, Damon, and other top-ranking students had begun challenging those above them.

Luciano and Damon had both beaten Dustin and Serhan to take the 2nd and 3rd position, leaving them in the 4th and 5th spot respectively.

As for Michelle, she had risen from the 9th position to the 6th position. She had even challenged Dustin, but his greater mastery over the earth element had clenched him victory.

With the new top 6 students, Haldor, Camilla, Owen, and Vlad filled up the remaining positions, making the top 10 70% of 1st-year students.
