The entrance to the meeting room was still engulfed in smoke, and to avoid getting taken by surprise, they ignored the dagger when they saw it wasn't going for someone, but that was Blake's plan.
As the void dagger flew across the room, a spatial tear opened and 4 fire chains shot out aiming for the heads of 4 bandits.
As the chains shot out the second in command Fin sensed the fire spell and reacted by dashing towards the nearest target and deflecting the fire chain with a burst of wind.
As for the other 3 gang members were facing the door when they wrapped on their heads and exploded, sending bits of their brain and flesh flying all around the room.
The gang members were confused about how their fellow members had died, but that was when they turned to the dagger that had dug into the other end of the wall.
That was when 2 flame bursts came flying through the door, but Fin has already expected something like this.
Earth eruption!
Stomping his foot on the floor, 2 layers of earth walls erupted from below.
BOOM! BOOM!
Both layers of walls were blasted into pieces by the first flameburst, and the second one continued unhindered, but soon a rain of spells stopped it in its tracks.
Zzzg! Zzzg!
"Ahh!" They heard the sound of the crackling lightning followed by the sound of a scream.
The gang members turned around, only to see the hand of a black-haired boy on the head of a member who was being electrocuted.
"Is that where your boss is?" Blake pointed to the door some meters behind him.
"What business do you have with our boss?" Fin asked with a frown on his face.
"What else? I am here to kill him and you all." Blake chuckled aloud as he let go of the gang member whose body was now charred and stiff.
THUD!
"So who do you guys want me to kill first? You guys or give you all a head start by killing your boss first." Blake said with a smirk on his face.
'This is the one that has been slaughtering everyone?' Fin was stunned and afraid at the same time. Although Blake seemed to be quite young, he felt a dangerous aura coming from him.
As for the option of running away. It wasn't an option at all because in situations like this they would be easily picked off. Also, there was always a way that the boy would catch up to them.
"Attack him!" Fin made up his mind and gave out a command.
"This is where you should think outside the box. Suicide was a better option than the other too." Blake couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the gang members coming at him.
'Activate Mind boost.' The intensity of the lightning arcs increased as Blake's eyes began glowing blue.
He threw out a void dagger at Fin, who managed to dodge it at the nick of time, but this only made Blake smile.
Void shift.
A spatial tear appeared beside Blake, and he lunged his hand inside and came out of a spatial tear at the path of void dagger.
'Gotcha!' Blake grabbed the head of a gang member who was passing by and dragged it into the spatial tear before closing it.
'Nasty.' Blake dropped the head but didn't move out of the way.
Wind blade!
Earth spikes!
Ding!
The space in front of Blake froze, the wind blade crashed into it, but not leaving a dent, same as the rows of earth spikes that came his way.
'Time to get serious.' With the exponential increase of his mental power, the frozen space began expanding at such a terrifying speed, that before they could react it had boxed them in.
Out of instinct, the gang members began firing spells at the frozen space, but their attacks were hardly leaving a dent on it.
"Resistance is futile." Blake said as Ebony and Ivory appeared in his hands and a space on the frozen space opened up and he walked in.
Blake dashed forward, and in the blink of an eye he had appeared beside 1 of 4 gang members and beheaded him before he could react.
The other 2 including fin began throwing out everything they had but Blake was so fast that he only dodge them at the last moment, making it look as if the spells were knowingly avoiding him.
SWISH! SWISH!
Just as fin was trying to keep track of Blake's position, the head of the 2 other bandits dropped to the floor.
"Shit!" Not wasting time, Fin conjured an earth dome to protect him, but Blake swung ebony at the upper part of the dome, cutting it off and beheading Fin in the process.
"By now, Castiel should be done with the other side. Meaning we are finally at 69/70." Blake said as he opened the door to the boss' office and it was empty, but he wasn't worried.
With heat vision, Blake could see he was in another room by the side desk, but there seemed to be no door.
'I could just blow it up, but let's increase his fear." Blake smiled as a clairvoyant ash light formed a trail of light that pointed to the lamp on the wooden desk.
Blake walked up to the lamp and saw that it was protected by a low level array, but he instantly cracked it and the wall slid open.
BOOM!
A fire ball came flying out of the door but it crashed into a frozen space.
"You guys are too predictable." Blake said as he walked into the room and saw different power crystals placed at nodes of a large array inscribed on the ground.
At one corner of the room was a smaller array inscribed on a metal that could fit one person. Straight away Blake knew it was a warp array.
"How much were you paid, I can double it." The Boss said to Blake.
Blake first took a look at the boss who had a brown gelled hair and a butt chin, before speaking. "You see, at the moment I am not lacking gold coins. By the way I know you want to buy time so when the core restarts you can leave."
"Everyone has a price, name it." At this point, the boss knew that escaping was no longer an option. So he tried to negotiating and if that was to fail. The last option was to fight to the death.
"I need contribution points and fame while having my freedom. Those 2 things are something you can't offer." Blake said as he brought out a mana disruptor and placed it on the wall beside him.
'What are you trying to do? Do you want to kill us both?" The black scorpion gang boss began sweating when he saw the mana disruptor.
Using a mana disruptor would shut down arrays and power cores that didn't have proper protection. In this case, using one when a core was restarting would make it unstable and cause an explosion.
"No, just you." Blake sealed the exit by freezing the space around it, before freezing the space around the boss to prevent him from leaving the room.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that you had a nice place." Blake who had activated the mana disruptor stepped back into the wall, appearing back at the meeting room. Using the system's detection range Blake waited till the last moment before dispelling space freeze in other to maximize damage.
BOOM!
The core exploded sending out massive shockwaves that shook the entire hideout.
"Surprising that he managed to survive that..." Blake said as he walked towards the office.
Just like every building, the walls of the sewer had been reinforced with arrays while it was being constructed. Also, when the hideout was being constructed they had also reinforced it furthermore.
This prevented the hideout from collapsing from the explosion, but for sure it had destroyed everything in the office and the hidden room.
"You should have just died and saved yourself the pain." Blake shook his head as he walked up to the gang boss who was on the floor and was bleeding from all parts of his body.
He didn't waste any more time as he stabbed the helpless gang boss, before retrieving his void daggers and regrouping with the others.
