My Space-Time System

337 Power of war array masters.

The death of the last beast marked the end of point farming for the day.

When the teams returned to the wall, they saw major Reeves staring into the horizon, and behind him was the angry team that had been sent back into the city.

"I am quite surprised that it was only one team that violated the rules." Major Reeves said as he turned to the teams. "Seems I shouldn't be looking down on you guys so much."

"As for the only team that was stupid enough to disobey orders. All points gained today will not only be null but they would be doubled and then deducted from their future points." Major Reeves' announcement changed the angry expressions of the 2nd year team to dread.

With them going all out on the beasts with fusion magic, they had managed to farm up to a little bit below 5k points. So their points weren't at 0 but in the negative. Officially making them the lowest team in both years.

None of them, including the team leader that put them in this situation, dared to protest major Reeves' decision because it would surely not end well. The team leader could only switch his glare at Blake who had a big grin on his face and Serhan who had brought up the plan that put his team in a bad position.

With no other announcement, major Reeves returned to his previous position and the teams began dispersing to their positions on the wall. Some had frowns on their faces, while some had the brightest smiles on their faces.

"That was too easy." Blake said with a grin on his face when his team crossed paths with Serhan's team. This caused Serhan to stop and tightly clench his fist as he tried to contain his anger, but Blake didn't seem to care as he continued moving forward.

"Don't you think you are overdoing it?" Brian asked when they were out of hearing range.

"Not close at all." Blake chuckled before continuing. "They had tried to get me killed once, and I am pretty sure if they had the chance they would do it again. That is why you don't pity your enemies because they wouldn't give you a second chance."

"I was asking because their reactions showed there would surely cause more problems." Brian said.

"Let them come then, we will just keep rubbing it on their faces that we are better than them in everything." Blake's words oozed with confidence that hyped everyone including their supervisor.

During the next morning at the training of the volunteers. The number of beasts had increased but only by a little above hundred.

Unlike last time when some of the groups like the war array masters and the beats tamers weren't given chance to perform train. This time they had decided to drop the support role and display a spectacle.

Once the city barrier was lowered, arrays began appearing above each team of 5 war array masters.

In less than a second, a large translucent hexagonal crystal formed at the center of the array and began firing elemental spells of all the 5 members that cast the array. It needed 5 people to cast and continuously power it, but once operational, it needed only one person to control.

The operator had access to the elements of everyone linked to the array and it gave everyone connected a bird's eye view of the battlefield, and also enable the other 4 to free cast their arrays.

This was the hex crystal array, and although its mana consumption was quite high, it was still regarded as the best war array for the hero realm.

If the attacks of those positioned on the wall were seen as a rocket launchers, then the non-stop bombardment of the hex crystal battle array was akin to a helicopter machine gun that fired rockets instead of bullets.

The students watched how each of the hex crystal arrays simultaneously shot out 6 spells, drowning the beast in a sea of attacks.

"Arrays are overpowered!" Brian was astonished by how the war array masters were literally soloing the entire army of beasts. They didn't even allow the beasts to reach the defenders and those at the wall had long ago stopped firing spells because they saw there was no need for them to waste mana.

"In wars, war array masters are one of the most important people, but when it comes to one versus one situation they are not as powerful." Luciano said.

"Exactly. Their strength lies in groups and against a large number of unintelligent beasts it is very hard to defeat them, but I am not a fan of just staying in one place the entire battle." Blake said.

Almost every specialization makes use of arrays for a different purpose. For example, forgemasters used to give objects magical properties, beasts tamers made use of it to form contracts with beasts, while alchemy used it to synthesize and add magical properties to potions.

As for war array masters, they were those that studied array for the sole purpose of combat. Their mastery and skill with battle arrays were on a whole new level as they simultaneously took the role of attackers, defenders, and supports on the battlefield.

It didn't take time for the war array masters to clear the entire battlefield and round up their training for the day, leaving ash corps members to bring in the corpse of the beasts.

'Giving made-up currency like reputation points for the nobles and exchange points for the rest, in exchange for the beast corpses and their services in protecting the city. I wonder how much they are gaining from it.' Blake thought as he saw hundreds of beast corpses being carted into the city.

[Not to disturb Mr. entrepreneur, but I think you should be more focused on the next wave.] The system said to Blake.
