My Space-Time System

The reason the Karius family was wasting so much time in giving out the Master seal was that it was a setup to capture anyone that came to steal it. It wasn’t a hidden trap, but even though many knew it was a trap it was just too good for some people to resist.

This was why from the moment Xavier had purchased the Master seal, he wasn’t allowed to leave the Karius estate. Meaning anyone that still planned on stealing it could be captured with ease.

This was because every house in the Karius estate had an alarm array connected to every other house. So if they were an intruder they would be surrounded in no time, but till now nothing had happened.

‘Did he disable it?’ Xavier couldn’t help asking himself.

Considering that everyone on standby none was below the demigod realm and it would only take them a few seconds to arrive. Xavier could only conclude that the white-haired boy had somehow disabled the alarm.

Xavier had guessed right, the moment Xander had walked up to his door and had inspected it, he had disabled both the defense and alarm arrays.

.....

Zzzzg Zzzzg

The crackling lightning began echoing all around the corridor as lightning arcs danced all around Xavier’s body, causing Xander turn for a moment before continuing his slow walk to the stairs.

BOOM!

A lightning bolt twice as thick as an arm was released from Xavier’s arm, but instead of going for Xander, it went straight for the roof. It easily tore through it but before the lightning bolt could escape into the night sky, it crashed into a blue barrier above the mansion.

“What the fuck a lightning rod barrier?!” Xavier was utterly shocked by what happened.

“I see you figured it out.” Xander chuckled at Xavier’s unsuccessful attempt to call for help without even turning back.

In anger, Xavier shot out a lightning bolt at Xander, but the white-haired boy quickly turned back and redirected the lightning back to him, causing Xavier to further doubt if he was going to win if they were to fight.

‘Why is he walking so slow, it is clear that he doesn’t want to kill me, but doesn’t he want to escape? Is he planning something else?’ Xavier’s mind was in disarray but he didn’t fail to notice how unconcerned Xander was acting.

A behavior like this could only translate to one thing, Xander was planning something, and if care was not taken he would fall for it.

‘Shit!’ Xavier couldn’t help but curse because he was currently between a rock and a hard place.

With the level of skills and power he had displayed, coupled with his unconcerned nature, Xander was surely stronger but he couldn’t just watch him walk out of his house without a fight.

‘I can’t just watch him get away like that, how will I explain it to father. I have to do something!’ Making up his mind on what to do, Xavier’s eyes began surging with electricity as the night sky directly above the house began rumbling.

Thunderbolt Call!

This was a spell that summoned ferocious thunderbolts from above. It could be targeted at an opponent or at oneself before being redirected. So since there was already a hole in

For a split second, the rumbling of lightning above stopped before coming down like a thunderbolt 3 times more powerful than his previous attack.

The lightning crashed down towards the hole above Xavier but once it came in contact with the blue barrier its power was halved before striking down at Xavier.

Knowing this would happen Xavier had made preparations.

Lightning step-up!

Just when the lightning was about to hit him, a light blue halo appeared directly above him, doubling the power.

BOOM!

The amplified thunderbolt crashed into Xavier, and immediately it was redirected to Xavier who had almost gotten to the stairs.

“Chromastone Eruption.” With a smirk on his face, Xander stood still as a wall of emerald crystals erupted from below separating both sides of the corridor.

Ding!

The redirected thunderbolt crashed into the Emerald crystal wall, cracking its surface but that was when it lit up, repairing itself and increasing in thickness.

This was the demigod level of earth manipulation. It involved the production and manipulation of the Emerald crystal, chromastone.

Chromastone was a special crystal that possessed an absurd defensive property and absorbed the energy of attacks shot at it to both repair and expand. Meaning if one didn’t have the power to destroy it in one attack, it was advisable for them to go around.

The disadvantage of the chromastone crystal was that conjuring and manipulation were mana intensive.

‘This can’t get any worse.’ Xavier cursed his bad luck. Apart from the earth element being the weakness of the lightning element, Xander was surprisingly stronger than him when it came to lightning considering that the lightning element was the pride of the Karius family.

Hydro cannons.

Xavier shot out 10 powerful jets of water that tore through the walls and into the rooms by the side, before coming out through the walls at the other side of the corridor.

“Hmmm.” Xander snorted as he used lightning reinforcement on his feet to easily dodge the hydro cannons, causing them to crash into walls and each other.

Laminar Flow!

On activating the spell, Xavier turn into water and entered one of Jetstream, and appeared at the other side of the chromastone wall which would have been completely flooded if not that it was open.

Laminar Flow!

Water clones!

Xavier turned into a puddle of water that fell into the ankle level water. When he rose out of the water, there were now 5 of him in the corridor surrounding Xander.

“Apart from that rank 1 in the magic school, you are the city’s prodigy. You can do better than this.” Xander said while yawning.

“I am not yet done!” All the Xavier’s in the corridor screamed as large amounts of steam began rising from the water below.
