Versatile System Online-Chapter 202 The Dean Comes To Rescue
In another corner of the city,
The dean swiped his scythe as heads fell everywhere, "To think that they would have someone with a cloning ability," the dean muttered as he flicked his scythe, cleaning the blood off of it.
Turning to Inferno and Silent Sword, the dean spoke, "Let's head to the last location. I wonder how they will be holding up?"
"Okay," They nodded and vanished along with the dean. As they vanished, behind them; a shadow appeared from the ground and smiled eerily.
Meanwhile,
Ray and Sirius gasped for air as they looked at the burly man in front of them. The man had his hand twisted and bent at a weird angle while a thin line of blood seeped down his mouth. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶
"Ray, just a bit more. This guy seems to be at the end of his limit, " Sirius spoke,
"No. He is just getting started," Ray said back and raised his hands. As he did, the Void Shards around him trembled as they converged around him and started revolving.
"What do you mean?" Sirius asked.
"There," Ray spoke, pointing his finger at the man, the Void Sharks were hurled at the man.
"What the…" Sirius blurted in shock as he saw the man had fully regenerated with an eerie smile plastered on his face.
"Keep on attacking," Ray said, flapping his wings; he floated in the air as a gush of wind blew by and Ray disappeared from his position.
"Guess there's no stopping," Sirius muttered as he lifted his hands. A shadow emerged from the ground as it took shape of a wolf.
"Awooooo!!!" The wolf howled as it merged with Sirius. A dark armor condensed from shadows appeared all over his body. With spikes protruding out of the armor, Sirius's claws extended as a dark gleam shone in them.
"Swoosh" He kicked the ground and disappeared. Appearing in front of the man, Sirius swiped his hands as two dark shadowy arcs left his claws and hit the man.
On the other hand,
Ray appeared above the man's head and grabbed its head. Pulling the man in a vice grip, Ray flapped his wings as he flew in the air along with the man.
"Ray! What are you doing?" Sirius shouted, but confused by Ray's strange move, he watched Ray.
"Wait and watch," Ray spoke as arcs of lightning started to crackle around his body, "Be ready for this one-of-a-lifetime experience," He said to the man.
The lightning started to charge in his body as the arcs kept on piling up. While that happened, Sirius had an idea of what Ray was planning and made his move.
Jumping in the air, Sirius raised his claws as rows of shadows emerged and locked around Ray and the burly man.
"Ray! It will keep him intact. You continue," Sirius shouted.
"Okay," Ray nodded as the lightning within him had almost reached its limit, "Time to fry you," Ray whispered in the man's ear as he discharged all the stored lightning.
"Sizzle…Crackle…Sizzle…"
"Arghhhh!!!" The man screamed at the top of his lungs. Feeling the numbing sensation of pain spreading through his body, the man went limp while Ray flew even higher into the sky.
Reaching the clouds, Ray spun in the air as he threw the man down, "Bangggg!!" The man fell to the ground and he crashed into the pavement.
Then, with his hand engulfed in fire, Ray pushed his hand forward and flew down as he crashed into the man.
"Crackk…" The man's ribs cracked as Ray's fist charred his body.
Done with his attack, Ray jumped back as he gave room for Sirius to attack. Sirius appeared in front of the man as he swiped his claws and disappeared while three more wolves appeared and did the same as Sirius.
"Huff…Huff… That is going to do some serious damage," Sirius spoke as he panted for air.
"No…This guy has outstanding defense and vitality. He is the ultimate tank," Ray answered as he saw the man stand up and walk out of the ground.
"Hahahah!!" The man laughed as he wiped the blood off his face and looked at them. Clenching his hands into fists, the man stared at them and motioned them to come at him.
"Ughh…" Sirius sighed in frustration as rows of shadows emerged behind him. Pointing his finger forward, Sirius commanded the shadow wolves to accompany the man while he readied for his next attack.
"Don't," Ray stopped Sirius as he spoke, "Let's attack together. Also, the dean will be here soon. We just have to stall him till then,"
Saying that, Ray willed the Void Shards to gather around his hand as they formed a whip.
Channeling his mana into the whip, the whip crackled while a mystical aura covered the whip.
[Fusion Magic:- Blood Combination; Temporal Lightning]
Creating yet another spell, Ray swung the whip in the air as he kicked the ground and disappeared. Appearing above the man, Ray swung it down as the whip lashed out at the man.
On the other hand, Sirius appeared behind the man as he opened his maw and bit the man's nape. While doing so, Sirius also extended his claws and dug them deep into the man's back.
"Arghhh" The man screamed again as Ray's attack that had paralyzed him again caused the man to feel a strange sensation spreading through his body after Sirius bit him.
Ray controlled the temporal lightning as he used his control over the temporal element and started to age the wounds on the man's body. Slowly, the man's skin grew older while the wounds started to fester as his fighting capabilities decreased.
The same happened to the man's arm as the skin around the infected part started to decay.
Feeling something strange with himself, the man looked at his arm and saw the skin over there starting to decay, "You a*sholes!" The man shouted in anger as the power within him surged.
The wind kicked up around the man as Ray and Sirius were thrown once again. Taking a small capsule out of his spatial storage, the man swallowed it as the effects of Ray's and Sirius's attacks were nullified.
"He nullified my attack," Ray spoke, "Same with mine," Sirius answered as both of them stood from the debris.
"Where is the dean?" Sirius asked.
"On his way," Ray simply answered and flapped his wings. Flying in the air, he looked at the man as he took out the dagger.
"The whip doesn't suit me. I want a weapon that I can control and change its shape depending on the circumstances. Such as now, I am in need of a sword right now but an axe will also work. What should I do?" Ray thought to himself as he condensed the Void Shards around his hand and observed their structure.
His mind clicked as an idea formed, "Let's do this," He muttered and willed the Void Shards to form a long pole. At the tip of the pole, he inserted the dagger as a spear was formed.
Then, the Void Shards glowed as the pole thickened while the dagger multiplied. With the edges of each dagger lined together and the hilt consumed within the Void Shards, a makeshift sword was formed.
"Will work for now," He muttered and swung the sword around a few times to test its weight and balance.
"A bit light for my test. Also, a bit short and small as well but I will make do. Need to find a good blacksmith to make me a weapon and inscript some runes upon it too," Ray thought as he looked at the man on the ground.
"Will have to kill him first," He mattered as his pupils constricted. With the Void flowing within them, he attacked.
Angling himself downwards, his wings curled around his body as he cast his spell,
[Distort Slash],
Casting his bloodline spell, the Void Shards pulsed as the space around them distorted.
"Take This!!" Ray shouted as he catapulted down at the man and swung the sword.
"Hmph," The man grunted in arrogance as he raised his hands in an attempt to catch Ray's attack and end him once and for all. After all, the man had had his fun and it was time to end this drama.
"Huh?" The man's expression changed as the attack closed in on him. The perception that had saved him countless times alarmed him of the attack and told him to get away but the man stayed as he underestimated Ray's attack.
"Swoshh…Slashh" The attack slashed the man's hand as the distort slash went through the arm and the sword dug deep into the bone while the bone's very structure was distorted.
Releasing his energy again, the man tried to heal himself but as he did, he felt his bone heal the wrong way. Instead of becoming whole again and taking a linear structure, the bone healed in a bent manner while the harness was also reduced and it was much more brittle than before.
"What did you do?" The man shouted as for the first time in his life did his extraordinary vitality was tricked.
Ray winked in reply as a bolt of lightning hit the man through his sword while Ray flapped his wings and flew in back into the air.
Angered and humiliated, the man gnashed his teeth as the horn on his forehead started to glow. The man's skin turned red while his body enlarged, and his muscles stiffened as the horn on his forehead grew.
"RAY!!!" Seeing the man, Sirius called out as he saw the man turn into a monster.
"Sirius! Retreat!" Ray shouted as he flew into the air and retreated himself.
Hearing Ray's order, Sirius's face paled as he realized,
"We f*cked up. We angered that monster," He muttered as the shadows around him condensed on his feet as he started retreating.
"How dare you!!" The man's angered roar sounded in the air as waves of strength erupted in the air.
"Ray! What did you do," While retreating, Sirius shouted as he saw Ray flying above him.
"I attacked him. It's just that he took it to heart," Ray replied.
Looking ahead, he saw a light streaking toward him.
"Who the f*ck is that? Sirius shouted as he thought that another enemy had appeared in front of him.
"Relax Kids. Leave it to me," Inferno's voice sounded as his figure blazed in the air.
"The dean's here," Ray muttered as he relaxed and slowed down.
On the other hand, the dean appeared in front of the burly man as he slashed his scythe.
