Chapter 312 - Its All Over.

"Blake!" The entire team screamed when they saw Blake hurling towards the ground.

[No matter what you do, try not to hit the floor because it is as good as failing the exercise.] The system warned Blake.

'As if I would want to hit the ground in the first place.' Blake complained.

He wasn't just falling, Blake was tumbling making it impossible to use either the floating orb or the fire element to balance himself. This was because if all of his body didn't move to oppose gravity at the same time, he would break a lot of bones.

Luckily for Blake, spinning at such speed would cause vertigo for many people, but because of one of the passive skills of the space element that always made him aware of space, he was immune to the sensation of losing balance or direction.

"This is going to hurt." After thinking of every possible option, there was only one that was feasible.

Knowing the path he was falling to, Blake equipped the rampant armor before constructing multiple mana barriers to break his fall.

BAM! BAM!

Being enveloped by the barrier of the Rampant armor, Blake continuously smashed into the mana barrier. Even at that every time he crashed into a mana barrier, Blake felt like he was smashed by a car crusher as all the air in his body escaped through his mouth.

BAM!

After breaking through multiple mana barriers, Blake's descent finally came to a stop at the last mana barrier which was 7 feet above the ground. Luckily for him, all the beasts were concentrated at the city wall.

"Fuck me!" Blake groaned as he stood up. "That piece of shit has to pay for this!" Blake cursed the octopus elephant.

[Why are you complaining as if you broke all your bones, the armor shock absorber took most of the damage?] The system snorted at Blake's weakness.

'Says the voice in my head.' Blake rolled his eyes. 'I need a status update.'

[Rampant Armor barrier: 60% Recharging with host's mana…

Floating orb: 30%]

"The floating orb might buy you some time, but surely your end is near!" Blake said to the octopus elephant as he flew to the earth pillar to recharge.

…

When Blake was blown away by the octopus elephant, Castiel and Luciano knew there was no way of catching him. So they decided to use the opportunity to attack the beast, but that wasn't going too great for them.

The darkness and wind element were basically useless against the octopus elephant. No matter how many wind spells Luciano fired at it, the wind element lacked enough power to damage its hide.

As for the darkness element, Castiel couldn't get close without being harmed. But even at that, Castiel doubted that his darkness spells would affect the octopus's monstrous vitality.

"We can't continue doing this, we will eventually run out of mana." Castiel said to Luciano as he threw out a flame spear that ended up blown away by one of the octopus's trunks.

"You don't need to worry, this will be dealt with once he is back." Luciano said as a mini-explosion of gold flames pushed him out of the way of an air blast.

"Are you okay?" Tessie asked with a worried look on her face as Blake landed on the pillar.

"You don't have to worry, I was not hurt." Blake answered.

[Has my memory gone bad? Weren't you the one complaining a few minutes ago?] The system asked with a raised brow.

"…" Blake ignored the system and proceeded to the center of the pillar where 5 mana cables were. Immediately the mana cable didn't waste time connecting to the back of the strap.

In a few minutes, the floating orb was charged to the brim, and without wasting time Blake used the excess energy to launch towards the octopus elephant.

…

By this time most of the teams had taken out their targets and were now watching how the best team so far would perform.

"Is he crazy?!" Most of the students couldn't help but ask when they saw Blake blazing towards the octopus elephant even though there wasn't much distance between them.

In a matter of seconds, Blake was 7 meters away from the octopus elephant but still had no plans of stopping. That was when the beast aimed 2 of its trunk at him and shot out 2 jet streams of air.

'Time to show this primitive creature the wonders of physics.' Blake conjured a pointed cone his size in front of him to break through the wind.

Although there was still a little resistance, Blake continued with his linear motion as he continued to approach the octopus elephant, but that was when the beast decided to punish the human's overconfidence by aiming 6 of its trunks at him.

"What is he thinking?!"

"Is he trying to get himself killed?!"

Both the students and the spectating ash cops screamed when they saw that Blake still had no plans of stopping. As for Major Reeves his expression hadn't changed, he just kept on watching.

"Just a little bit more…" Blake was unfazed by the action of the octopus elephant as he continued moving towards it.

"Now!" The moment the trunks contracted and shot out air, Blake used mini flamebursts to turn his belly to the left before using a large flameburst and half of the floating orb's energy to push himself just a little bit off the range of effect.

With so much air leaving its lungs through its trunks, it was impossible for the octopus elephant to instantly cancel the air blast, therefore leaving itself open for a few seconds.

"Gotcha!" The octopus elephant could only watch as Blake threw a dagger at it, but when it got close it turned out that it was off target, passing above its head.

"Did he just waste an opportunity to end this? So much for the rank one." A second year student snorted when the dagger missed.

"Why are they returning to the pillar?" The students were confused when they saw Luciano and Brian returning to the pillars.

"Because it is all over...." Owen Ulrik said, confusing everyone including Major Reeves.
