"Is anything wrong?" Damon asked when he saw Blake pause for quite some time.
"Yes, I can sense another team." Blake said.
From when Blake had warned them about the incoming ants to now, he had been displaying incredible sensory feats. Damon had no idea about how he does it, but he knew he was never wrong.
"Does that mean we have a lot of work to do this night?" Damon asked with a helpless sigh because he already knew Blake's answer.
"It has to be done." Blake said as they began returning to Owen's team's location.
Owen's team had constructed an earth dome on crossed branches and had placed mirror spells as surveillance, but this only made their work easy.
"Whenever you are ready." Blake said to Damon who nodded and began casting night mist.
Black gas began coming out from Damon and moving towards the rock dome.
Blake's attention was fully focused on the rock dome in front of them, but that was when he noticed that the night mist was misty instead of black.
'How is he able to change the color of night mist?' Blake asked the system.
[You can change the shape of your fire element and also the areas the boost of lightning reinforcement affects. So, what makes you think this can't happen?] The system asked.
'I don't know I thought it was fixed just like the space element.' Blake said.
[The darkness element is just like any other element. The reason it is second to the space in both strength and difficulty is that you need a lot of control.] The system replied. [If he has so much control that he can extend darkbringer to all of you, then changing the color of night mist shouldn't be an issue.]
'No wonder he is number 3, even Castiel can't do that.' Blake thought.
[He is on a different level from Castiel. His background is way deeper than he is showing.] The system pointed out.
'Think of it, he is so talented with an element so rare but till now he hasn't been approached by any of the big families. Also, I have noticed that he is treated with respect by even the nobles.' Blake said.
[Exactly, he even owns an artifact related to the darkness element!] The system exclaimed to stress how rare it was.
By this time, the entire area including the rock dome was immersed in night mist.
Not only was night mist able to take away sight, drain vitality, or jam any form of sensory abilities, it was able to erase sound in the area.
On giving Damon the signal, the entire area turned pitch black and the mirror spell meant for surveillance was jammed.
"What the fuck is going on?!" Dustin Ulrik, the number 2 student of 2nd year couldn't help but ask when the mirror spell turned pitch black.
"Wake up, we are under attack!" Dustin shouted, but that was when they heard a noise.
THUD!
A void dagger was stuck unto the first layer of the rock dome, and that was when a spatial opened and Blake came out thrusting Ebony and Ivory in their combined form.
Ding!
The greatsword went through the 5 thick layers of earth and stopping when a golden barrier engulfed Dustin who was still screaming at his teammates, before teleporting him back to school.
With Ebony and Ivory still in the rock dome, Blake easily carved a little hole before randomly throwing in 3 void daggers into the dome.
'lol…' Blake chuckled before jumping back into a spatial corridor.
On appearing into the dome, Blake quenched the fire at the center with the power of an ignitor. Using the system's night and heat vision it was time for Blake to hunt down his victims.
He dashed into the spatial corridor and appeared right in front of a female noble who was trying to understand what was going on.
Ding!
The golden barrier activated revealing Blake's outline, but before they could blink, Blake stepped back and appeared beside one of the team's ignitors who was trying to conjure a flame ball.
Ding!
The golden barrier was showed Blake's outline and that was when everyone began understanding what was going on, but it was already too late.
Opposite Owen, Blake had eliminated their submerger, but before he could act, a trail of lightning went crossed the dome and Blake had already grabbed him by the neck.
"Blake!" Owen said when he finally figured out who it was, but Blake grinned before eliminating him.
By the time Owen was eliminated, the room was already filled with night mist and even though the last ignitor had conjured multiple flame balls he couldn't see a thing.
"Do you want to end it yourself or do you want me to?" Blake's voice
On hearing Blake's voice, the student knew who was speaking, and knowing it was useless, he brought out a blade and stabbed himself on the head.
Ding!
The golden barrier appeared and that marked the end of Blake's hunting.
"EZ." Blake said as he released an electromagnetic field that attracted his void daggers.
"Done." After he retrieved the void dagger on the outer layer of the rock dome, Blake appeared at the void dagger beside Damon.
"On to the next then." Damon deactivated night mist and the duo went over to the next team.
…
Back at the water barrier, Beyoni and Kade who were standing watch were now getting worried because Blake and Damon had taken more than 3 times the usual time.
They had to wake up Sach and they began debating on if they were to go in search of them.
"It could be they went out to hunt." Sach said.
"Let me check." Kade activated the holographic projection of the leaderboard, and that was when they saw that a team had been eliminated.
"Could it be them?" Beyoni asked.
"There is a possibility, but it could be a random team fighting by this time of…" Before Sach could complete his sentence, a dash appeared on team 13 signifying they were eliminated.
"It is surely them." Kade said.
