Versatile System Online-Chapter 224 Abraham’s Real Strength
New York,
Times Square,
Abraham stood atop the huge skyscraper. His eyes were closed as a slight hue formed over his figure. The surrounding energy flowed through his body as he felt the changes in the whole city.
"What happened Inferno," Said Abraham without opening his eyes or even moving his mouth. He spoke directly into Inferno's brain. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨m
Rather than being surprised, Inferno just stood there casually as he replied telepathically, "I came here to ask about the situation. What is happening,"
"They are increasing. The number of orcs has increased by three times while the goblins keep on multiplying. Also, the high-level monsters are appearing more and more. If this continues, we will be overwhelmed in no time," Answered Abraham as he used his aura ability system to sense the whole city.
"What of the citizens?" Asked Inferno.
"Almost most of them are evacuated," Answered Abraham.
As he heard Abraham's answer, Inferno smiled and rubbed his hands in expectation as excitement glistened in his eyes.
"Then I guess I can start," Said Inferno as he jumped in the air and then off the skyscraper. Turning into a blazing figure he disappeared into the city as huge explosions took place right after.
"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, Abraham opened his eyes as he asked. Looking in front of him, he raised his hand and clenched it into a fist as the aura around him gathered.
"Arghhh" A strange groan came as the figure of a person was illuminated under the influence of Abraham's aura.
"What do you want? Moore!" Said Abraham gravely.
"Hehe!! You found me so easily," chuckled Moore as he revealed his whole figure and spoke, "Guess there is no need in hiding it anymore, is there? After all, your dean won't be coming back anytime soon," Saying that, Moore levitated in the air and activated his abilities.
A reddish hue started to gather around his body as he turned paler and paler. Then, two fangs extended out of his mouth as he grinned evilly. Pulling out a thin sword from his spatial storage, Moore looked at Abraham and said,
"Let me show you my strength,"
As he spoke, he turned into a reddish blur and disappeared. Appearing besides Abraham, he slashed at him as he disappeared again.
"Banggg!!" A mallet appeared in Abraham's hands as he slid through the ground. The reddish arc blocked by the mallet, he turned to face Moore and spoke,
"It's better that you showed yourself willingly. After all, it would have been too much of a hassle for us to lure you out," As he spoke, Abraham's body started to change.
Various hymns sounded around him as a solemn aura converged all over his body. His eyes turned white as he spoke in a sacred voice, "Today, let me show you my real side. Not that of the overseer of everything but that of the controller of everything. Let me show you my divine strength that I have stored throughout my life,"
The mallet in his hand glowed as he spoke, it turned into a sacred staff as various whitish clusters of energy formed around it.
"Who are you?" Questioned Moore in shock. He couldn't understand how an Aura master could change himself to a divine controller. After all, for Moore; anyone wielding the divine energy was a curse.
"If you think of it clearly, you will naturally get to know of it," Said Abraham as he remained vague about the sudden change in his power. After all, only a selected few knew of his real power and he liked to keep it that way.
"Well, I don't care. I will defeat you anyways," said Moore. Lifting his sword in the air, two huge bat wings opened up behind him. Flapping the wings, Moore flew in the air and looked down at Abraham with disgust and arrogance.
"I, a Vampire Count would not bow down to the likes of you. I am above you, I am the most perfect," As he spoke, his eyes glowed red as he tried to influence Abraham.
"Hmph.." Seeing Moore's feeble attempt to pull him into an illusion, Abraham snorted as a small layer of divine energy covered his body. Raising the staff in the air, he cast his spell,
[Divine Aura],
The whitish aura around him increased. His robe fluttered as a sacred feeling rose in the surroundings. Four wings formed behind Abraham as they gently flapped, lifting him in the air.
"Let me show you the strength of divinity," He spoke solemnly and thrust his staff forward. The space cracked as the staff traveled through the already weak boundary of time and space and reached Moore.
"Arghhhhh," He cried in anguish as the staff swept him off the air like a snapped kite.
"Banggg" hitting the building on the other side, Moore grunted in pain. He lifted his shirt, only to find a good part of his torso burnt off due to the divine energy.
Anger and fear swept over him. He felt hesitant about his actions and thought,
"There is still time. I can run away and then come back later," he thought but as he did, something within him compelled him to do otherwise. A voice inside his head spoke to him as it reminded him of the extreme lengths he went to and the depression he felt. It reminded him of the humiliation he felt through the dean's hands and how he hid in the shadows for years only to strike and then retreat.
Was it the future he wanted? A future where he would run from the dean? No!, he thought in his mind and resolved to deal with Abraham right now.
"Whatever it takes," He muttered and flew out of the building. Taking out a small vial of reddish liquid, he popped it open and gulped it down in one go.
"Gulp…Arghhhh" As the liquid went down his throat, he felt a burning sensation spread through his body as the pain hit him. His mind went numb as the voice in his head only got stronger.
"Destroy…destroy…destroy… finish them all. Kill them, take your revenge," The voice spoke in his mind.
The numbness faded as a stinging pain followed, "Arghhh" He clutched his head in pain and looked at Abraham with his blood-red eyes.
His anger broke through the roof as he changed physically. The wings behind him extended and turned grotesque as some sort of mucus substance flowed out of them.
His skin turned even paler as his face sunk inwards. His nails extended into claws while his flesh was consumed at a visible speed. His hair fell out as blood gushed out of his forehead.
"Arghhhh" He screamed at the top of his lungs as he turned into a hideous monster.
His facial features were now distorted while only the air of blood thirst remained around him.
"Don't tell me you are that foolish," Abraham sighed and thought. He really thought that Moore had lost his mind for doing something so foolish.
"Well, I guess I will have to use my full strength now," He muttered and spread his arms out as if hugging the whole world and chanted solemnly,
[Seraph Of End],
As he did, pairs of wings opened up. At first, one pair appeared. Then, another, and then another. A total of six pairs of wings appeared behind him as the divine aura covering his body turned brighter.
Opening his eyes, he looked at Moore calmly and spoke, "Let me ease you out of your misery," The wings flapped and he disappeared.
Appearing above Moore, he swung his staff downwards as it produced various afterimages and hit the vampiric monstrosity directly at its forehead.
"Banggg…" he fell downwards. His bones were all mangled up, and a charred smell spread through the air as the holy light burnt through his skin.
Abraham didn't stop, he raised his staff as the divine energy congregated. He cast another spell,
[Ball Of Divinity:- Exterminate]
A whitish ball formed at the tip of the staff. The divine energy gathered even more as the ball increased in size until it was big enough to shadow Abraham.
Then, bringing his staff down; Abraham threw the ball down below as it hit the monstrosity that Moore had turned into.
"Bangggg!!" The ball blasted as a small mushroom cloud rose. The area down below had vaporized wholly and had caved in as well.
"That should do it," Abraham murmured as he turned around, only to find Inferno gazing at him with anger.
"Why didn't you call me? I missed such an epic fight," he spoke in anger and threw a fireball at him.
"Sorry for not calling you but what could have you done? You are still much weaker than I am and you might come in the way," Abraham replied coldly.
"Just leave it, Abraham. Say, you wanted to have some fun all for yourself," Inferno retorted.
Then, looking down; he asked, "Is it done? Did you finish him?"
"Yes I did," Replied Abraham as Inferno nodded and they turned to check on the city.
