My Space-Time System



Blake was a little bit confused about the situation because everything felt weird. Gunnar was a peak demigod but he seemed to have died without putting up a fight because everything in the apartment was still in order. 

Either way, Blake did not think much about it because his main goal of eliminating the assassin had been indirectly completed. So he took out his communication amulet to inform the Ash corps but at that moment multiple spatial corridors opened up in the room. 

Multiple Ash Corps units stepped out of the spatial corridors and immediately took combat positions, however, all they saw was a surprised Blake and the bleeding corpse of Lieutenant Colonel Gunnar.

"What is going on here?" The lieutenant Colonel in charge of the rescue operation asked Blake because he wasn't informed of Gunnar's request for help.

"I was investigating the person behind the failed assassination attempt in Coastville, which led me to this building. I got in a few…" Blake explained everything with a calm expression.

"I was just about to call you guys…" Blake showed him the communication amulet in his hand.

"Spread out and find out what happened here." The lieutenant colonel ordered the unit. With the acute senses of a peak demigod, he knew that Gunnar was dead. So, the best course of action was to begin an investigation.

He quickly called in the investigation department and requested for the divination cursed artifact, Beholder.

Since he was the highest level in all of the units, he was the one to use the Beholder in order to prevent as much interference as possible.

'Let's see what happened here…' The lieutenant Colonel injected his mana into the artifact causing a ripple that made the surface of the mirror tear in half, revealing a yellow-stained eyeball filled with multiple eerie blood vessels.

Once the eyelid was fully open, the pupil had a purple aura that sent images of what happened to his mind. It showed the images of when Blake walked into the room and saw Gunnar's corpse on the floor.

For some reason, he wasn't able to see what had killed the lieutenant Colonel or even how he died. All the beholder was able to see was Blake's entrance, and nothing else.

"High-level interference." The lieutenant Colonel frowned because this meant they were dealing with an Angel.

"Unfortunately, we were unable to find any important information about his death. So, you will have to follow us to the square for some questioning." The lieutenant Colonel said without a change in expression.

'They are really suspecting me?' Blake was a little bit surprised but on thinking more about it, he found it very reasonable. The position of Lieutenant Colonel was very important, so it was very natural for them to suspect anyone possible for Gunnar's death especially since they had no clue of what happened here.

Either way, Blake wasn't worried at all because there was no way they could implicate him. Not only did he not have the strength to one-shot Gunnar, but he was also unable to interfere with divination artifacts. That was why he didn't bother leaving the scene immediately after he saw the corpse.

Once the Ash corps were done cleaning up the crime scene they warped back to the Square with Blake.

…

It didn't take long for the news of Lieutenant Colonel Gunnar to spread around the Square.

"So they couldn't save him in time." Colonel Darius shook his head as he read the heading of the report, but as he continued reading his indifferent expression changed to a frown.

He quickly dropped the report and immediately called Prince Bryon. "Your Highness, we have a problem."

In less than 3 minutes Prince Bryon had already warped into the square and both of them went to watch Blake's interrogation process.

"Do you think he did it?" Prince Bryon asked Darius with a serious expression as they watched Blake get questioned from the two-way mirror.

"Not by any chance. Not only is he unable to defeat Gunnar, but none of the items on him were able to interfere with divination, it has to be someone else." Colonel Darius explained.

"I want you to go and scan the crime scene with the Beholder, there is no way you won't be able to see anything." Prince Bryon instructed without taking his eyes off the interrogation process.

"Yes your Highness." Darius bowed and warped out of the square. 

In the next instant, Darius appeared at the entrance of the building. Since there was a possibility that the investigation team missed something, it was best for him to start his sweep from the entrance.

Darius walked into the building while bending light particles to prevent anyone from seeing him. 

After a few minutes, he finally got to the room Gunnar was killed. He took out the Beholder and activated the cursed artifact. 

The beholder showed Gunnar waiting in the room for something or someone. The door opened and someone entered, but his appearance was totally concealed causing Colonel Darius to frown.

He had been sent here by Prince Bryon to see through the interference using his strength as a Peak Angel but even for him, some things were still concealed.

The moment the concealed person stepped into the room, Gunnar became alarmed and immediately took a defensive stance. 

Without saying anything, the concealed person clenched his fist and a white light shot out from his ring and tore through all of Gunnar's defenses, leaving a hole in his abdomen. 

At that moment, Gunnar used the last strength he had to send out a distress signal to the Ash Corps. 

The concealed man threw the ring behind the door's entrance before closing the door and warping away.

At that point, Gunnar was still not dead thanks to the vitality of a peak Angel, but the white light paralyzed him and continuously drained his vitality.

A few minutes later, he died in the pool of his own blood, and that was when all the anti-tracking items on him lost effect causing Blake's intuition to pick up his location.
