556 Welcome to the League of Assassins.

While Ebony was raining spells on Thalia, Blake reminded both Ebony and Ivory about breaking the barrier. So when Ebony was constricted by the ground, and Thalia went over to Blake, he focused on just the vines and the ice barrier since he couldn't fire spells with Blake in the way.

"See you guys later." Blake let out a tired smile as he sunk into another spatial corridor and disappeared out of sight.

"What?!"

Instinctively everyone turned to the Ice barrier which was now broken in multiple areas. Without thinking Blake went through the portal that took him back to The Square.

"How?" Damon asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

They hadn't seen Blake throw a void dagger so they were confused about how he warped over there.

For a moment, they all forgot that Ebony and Ivory were still present until they noticed the simultaneous increase and decrease in the temperature of different parts of the room.

They immediately turned their attention to Ebony and Ivory and saw what seemed to be evil grins on their faces.

AWOOO!

Ebony and Ivory howled in anger and joy as they were now free from protecting Blake. It was time for them to make those that harmed their master suffer!

…

Once Blake returned to the underground floor of the Square, he began making his way to the upper floors without letting his guard down

As a Major in the Ash Corps, Blake got to find out that The Square in all cities weren't just buildings but artefacts unique to the Snyder empire. It was similar to the castle in the Magic school, but it lacked spatial capabilities and could drain intruders' life force and prevent them from warping in or out.

All the defensive measures would be activated when an alarm was set off, and luckily for Blake, he still had his badge and wasn't considered an intruder yet.

The only thing he had to worry about was Ash Corps, however, most of them were currently in the Aetherhold Penitentiary, leaving no one strong enough to stop him.

"No one except Prince Byron and Colonel Darius can warp in and out of the underground section because of the important artefacts and items here." Blake was hoping that he had enough mana to warp out of The Square to his house.

As long as a Traveler had the spatial coordinates of a place, the 2 things that could stop them were locking down the space with arrays or lack of mana to cover such distances.

Once Blake got to the ground floor, he looked out a window only to see explosions raging out in the direction of the Karius family estate. He also saw a large black ball floating in the air, but there was no reaction coming from it.

'What the hell did the League do to divert the attention of a lot of Ash corps?' Blake couldn't help but wonder because not only was The Square empty, but even the Ash Corps that responded to the alarm was not even a quarter of the total number of personnel.

"I just hope Camila and Tessie are safe." Blake said as he confirmed that his mana was barely enough for the journey.

Without wasting another second deep in his new enemies' base, Blake detected the spatial coordinates of his spatial marks in his home.

Immediately he walked out of the spatial corridor, Blake wasted no time recalling Ebony and Ivory. Although he knew the four members of the ancestral family descendants couldn't beat them, he didn't want to take chances, especially for no reason. Besides it wasn't as if he wanted to kill any of them.

…

Back at the entrance of the Aetherhold Penitentiary, the entire situation had been turned upside down. The entrance had been reduced to rubbles, and not only had Reeves lost his right arm, but his armour had been damaged beyond repair.

Orion and Thalia were on their last legs with lots of broken bones and bleeding, while Damon was almost spotless. This was because Ebony and Ivory knew that he was trying to help Blake, so he was still considered a friend.

"We can't… beat them… we need to… escape." Thalia was out of breath and on her knee from continuously dodging the rain of spells from both Ebony and Ivory.

"You guys should go first, I will hold them off." Reeves had a deep frown on his face, but it soon changed to surprise as Ebony and Ivory howled before combining into a greatsword and tearing the fabric of space before flying in.

"That was a close one…" Orion let out a sigh of relief as he sat on the floor due to exhaustion.

"What was that force, I didn't read about it in his profile?" Thalia couldn't help but ask Damon as he was one of the closest people to Blake. If not for it, Blake would have been dead by now.

"I have no clue, I have never seen him use that spell before." Damon replied.

"Telekinesis and teleportation, that sounds like the space element." Reeves said as he took out a healing potion from his dimensional amulet.

"How is that possible, he awakened the lightning and fire element?!" Thalia was shocked.

"A deity's inheritance makes it possible." Orion answered the bewildered Thalia.

"That explains why Prince Bryon had been keeping a close eye on him." Reeves thought aloud.

"This is the space element we are talking about here… the one that is extremely rare, that is what a commoner got?! Unbelievable!" Thalia's shock quickly changed to anger.

'Now I understand why Blake left, it's because he was tired of dealing with fools like this.' Damon thought to himself. 'The sad thing about this is that not only did I lose a friend, but the Empire lost an asset.'

…

The moment Ebony and Ivory returned to Blake they changed form and began barking. Almost immediately, the masked man dressed in all black appeared.

"Congratulations on escaping and passing your test. Welcome to the League of Assassins." The Masked man smiled.

"Is there anything you would like to take with you?" The masked man asked.

"Yes."

Blake began packing important things like the photo slide that contained pictures of his time with Camilla and Tessie.

During this period the Masked man took a seat on one of his sofas and began admiring the unique design of Blake's house.

After a few minutes, Blake was finally done, and it was time to leave Calton.

"Are you sure you are not forgetting anything?" The Masked man asked once again.

"Unfortunately, I can't take the house with me." Blake let out a tired sigh.

"Very well." The Masked man chuckled before warping both of them away.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The instance they left, the alarms of the house went off as the four councillors appeared above the house, but it was already too late.

I and other members of the 3 Sinz are working on a discord channel that will include artworks of all our works. When it is ready I will share the link.

Anticipate!
