Versatile System Online

"What?" Exclaimed Nia and the others as they saw Ray disappearing in the horde of trolls.

"Don't worry about him. Just wait and watch," Kashish smirked as she spoke, Raising her hands, she threw some seeds on the ground and cast her spell,

[Accelerated Growth:- Poisoned Vine Prison]

Casting the spell, her body glowed a green light as the mana surrounding her trembled.

"Raise," She commanded as the seeds sprouted and within seconds, the sprouts turned into vines that reached multiple feet. Then, using her hands to control the vines, she made the vines seep into the ground as the vines disappeared.

Fully concentrated on expanding her domain, Kashish unconsciously trusted the people around her to protect her.

And she was right to do so as Nia, upon watching everything unfold steeled her resolve as she ordered her teammates, "Surround her and don't let any troll get close to her,"

As she ordered, she herself moved as she jumped in the air and cast a light barrier upon Kashish, then standing in front of her; she muttered, "Don't worry, we will take care of the rest of them,"

On the other hand,

Within the horde of trolls. Small arcs of lighting sparked as the trolls that seemed to have devoured Ray shrieked in agony.

"Booommm" A huge explosion thundered from within as a pillar of fire rose in the air. From within, Ray flew out, his body covered in shimmering scales, with a pair of blazing wings on his back, the pressure that descended from his mere presence was terrifying as a couple of trolls fell to the ground from the pressure itself.

"Roooaaarrrrr" He roared in the air as multiple spatial cracks appeared around him, not to mention the Void Shards constantly revolving around his body. Raising his hand, he pointed at the trolls, a series of claws extended from the Void Gauntlets as sparks lit upon them.

"Crackle…Sizzle…Crackle…" The sparks extended as multiple volts of lightning fell upon the trolls. Some were killed on the place while the rest fell to the ground, their bodies paralyzed as they were later crushed under the feet of their fellow trolls.

As Nia looked at Ray's figure flying in the air, her eyes widened in awe as she never expected the best student of the elite class to be even stronger.

"Just what type of system does he have?" she thought, a bit stressed as previously, she was sure of her progress. Not only that, but she was also sure that if she fought Ray in a one-on-one duel, she would win for sure, but looking at him right now; she knew that he was on a completely different level and by the time she caught up to his current level, he would be even stronger.

Therefore, accepting her defeat, she resolved to get even stronger and close the gap in strength between them.

On the battlefield,

Slowly, vines extended from the ground as they wound around the trolls' legs. The trolls had no idea of the fact that slowly, death was slithering around their bodies and within no time they would be dead.

Within a few minutes, the trolls were mercilessly killed by Ray as an opening was created. Seeing the opening, Nia and the others rushed ahead as they all had to get out of the corridor as fast as possible. After all, fighting in the narrow corridor wasn't a good choice for anyone of them.

On the other hand, Kashish's eyes snapped open as the most difficult work had been done. The poisonous vines were now spread throughout the corridor as various trolls and already been poisoned.

"Let the fun begin," She muttered as an evil smile sported her face. With her eyes gaining a greenish hue, she lifted her hands in the air as the vines moved under her control.

The vines extended in the air as they further coiled around the multiple trolls and dug into their flesh. As they dug into their flesh, Kashish cast another spell on her,

[Vine Mastery:- Vampiric Touch]

As she did, the vines glowed red as they started to suck the life out of the trolls. From blood to nutrients, the trolls were sucked clear of everything as they fell to the ground.

Seeing the phenomenon from above, Ray glanced at Kashish and thought, "She isn't as simple as she looks," Thinking of this, he decided to be careful of her motives.

Then, glancing down at the battlefield, he saw that the vines had extended to form a high prison that trapped the trolls and sucked them dry.

As Nia saw all this, she felt shivers up her spine and realized that the girl standing besides her wasn't an easy opponent if fought against.

Zest, On the other hand, had different thoughts;

"Her powers seem to be the same as the princess, I wonder if there is some connection between this girl and the princess," He thought. His mind was in turmoil as recently, he wasn't given any mission, and being young, he wasn't influential enough to know of many missions. Therefore, he didn't know of the covert mission about the princess.

Within minutes, the vines drained the trolls dry as Kashish replenished her mana and cleared the corridor even more.

"Thankfully, she is fighting with us and not against us," Noelle thought as she took a step forward to head further in the corridor. However, as she did; her body froze as cold sweat appeared all over her body. Her spin tingled as she felt a severely oppressive aura pressuring her to stay in one place.

"Just what is this strange power?" She thought in fear as her body kept trembling continuously.

"Okay, everyone good work. Now all of you stay back, I, Nia, and Kashish would deal with the big guy," Ray's voice sounded in the corridor as he spoke, then turning to Nia he asked, "How much mana do you have?"

"About sixty percent," Nia answered truthfully. Seeing Ray's strength, she subconsciously took him as a leader, and also feeling the threat up ahead, she knew that there was no other thing she could do other than cooperate with him.

Then, turning to Kashish, Ray spoke, "What about you? Guessing from your previous spell, I would say that you have more or less recovered your mana. However, I would still want to know more about the precise amount of mana left,"

"I have more than ninety percent of my mana left," Kashish answered.

"Okay, you all. Follow me, I sense an advanced-tier magical realm beast along with multiple basic-tier magical realm beasts," Ray said, flapping his wings fiercely he flew head as he disappeared like a streak.

As for the remaining trolls, they were killed by the fire he unleashed through his movements. After all, right now; he didn't have much time to waste.

On the other hand, Nia and Kashish glanced at each other and nodded. Then, using their mana to strengthen their bodies, they followed Ray as they tried to keep up with his speed.

"What about us?" asked Noelle, seeing them follow Ray.

"We end the rest of the trolls," Zest answered as he made multiple copies of himself.

Listening to Zest, the other girl nodded as she raised her hands and created a swirl of water that revolved around her. Then, using it like a whip; she rushed into the remaining trolls.

While this happened,

Ray finally reached the end of the corridor and he saw a large creature covering the whole entrance and blocking the way. The creature had greyish skin that had multiple hideous blisters all over it. Looking at its head, Ray saw two pairs of eyes along with thick trunks and multiple puss-filled wounds over its face.

"Blerghh…What is that?" Nia arrived the moment she saw the creature, she vomited her guts out and asked.

"A mutated creature I would say. Also, it's the main boss here," Ray answered.

Then, looking besides the creature, Ray saw multiple small-sized versions of the creature. Though, they were less hideous and looked way less intimidating.

"You both deal with them, I will take care of this big boy," Said Ray as he put his hand forward and willed the Void Shards around him. The Void Shards trembled as they converged around his hand.

Taking a linear form, the Shards pulsed a purplish light as the temporal element coursed through them. The shards aligned one after another as they took the form of a long-headed spear.

As for why Ray chose a spear? The monster in front of him was huge and to penetrate through its seemingly thick skin, Ray needed a straight weapon that specialized in thrusting and cutting.

Clenching his hands around the spear, Ray grinned as his blood boiled in the anticipation of another fierce fight. Gazing at the huge troll in front of him, he flapped his wings as a fire blazed around his body. With the spear crackling with arcs of lightning, he turned into a streak of light and appeared above the troll as he thrust the spear into the weakest part of its body; the Eye.
