Universal Power System



The voice was actually Iris' own will that took the form of the aura of the healing ability in order to make her own subconscious understand the situation she was in and make her do the necessary steps in order to surprise.

After listening to the voice, Iris released the whitish green energy to quickly spread over her entire body. In reality, she had activated her regeneration skill without even realizing it.

It was rumored by many people that when they were close to death, they would experience bizarre phenomena that couldn't be scientifically explained.

Some would envision their loved ones appearing before them while others would see a lot of fog and mist roll in front of their vision. Some would hear sounds from no source while others would hallucinate images with no sound.

Iris was experiencing one of these phenomena and it came to her in the form of a voice emitting from her healing ability aura. Although Iris' mind wasn't able to understand the situation and decide what to do, her will was strong enough to break away from her subconsciousness and give directions to her so that she could save her life.

The whitish-green aura had quickly spread over the entire body but then began to concentrate around the abdomen, where the cut had taken place. Bill could watch in real-time as her flesh began to move and rejoin back together.

It was a completely horrifying scene to see up close especially since, Bill didn't have any medical training, but that didn't stop him, because he needed to remain strong in this critical time.

The officer was quite surprised that Iris began to heal just in the nick of time, saving herself from elimination. Once, Iris was able to completely stop her blood from bleeding out, the officer began to back away.

"She is one strong cookie, and she is lucky to have friends like you who didn't give up on her. She is out of danger and at her rate, should be completely healed in an hour or two." The patrolling officer said with a smile before quickly dashing away and going out of sight.

As soon as the patrolling officer was out of sight, the group leader instantly took this as an opportunity to try and strike them again, but when she turned back toward Iris and Bill, she and Bill locked eyes with one another, except one of them was releasing intense bloodlust and anger.

Bill continued to stare into the group leader's eyes with an intense unnerving feeling that made the leader stumble back and lose the short sword from her grip.

Bill gently raised Iris' body and placed her to the side next to some smooth boulders making sure she wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.

After Bill had done that, he began releasing a new level of intense aura that he wasn't capable of producing until.

The wind blew wildly back from Bill's body as everyone could now sense his intense hatred and blood lust.

He quickly stood back up and turned around to face the three remaining girls from the group that had ambushed them. He brought his pointer finger out towards them and with intense anger began to say," You...! You...! YOU TRIED TO KILL HER! …WHILE SHE WAS INJURED!"

Bill's muscles popped and grew larger as he finished his last sentence. Vein s started to show all over his body with the most focus around his face.

"YOU WILL PAY!!…" Bill shouted as he conjured a massive gust of wind to propel him forward toward the group.

****************

As Bill charged toward the group, they couldn't help but feel a wave of fear wash over them. They had never seen someone with such intense anger and power before, and it made them question whether they had made a grave mistake by attacking Iris and Bill.

The leader of the group, who had just dropped her sword, quickly took a few steps back to try and retrieve it, meanwhile, signaled for the other two girls behind her to attack Bill, but before they could even move, Bill had already closed the distance and was in front of them.

'So fast...' The leader observed in her thoughts as he saw Bill propel himself toward them using the wind ability, one she also had good mastery in.

'He is almost as fast as when I activate wind mode, well maybe a little less.' The leader concluded after witnessing Bill's newfound speed.

He moved so quickly that the girls barely had time to react. With one swift motion, he knocked the first girl to the ground and kicked the second one in the stomach, causing her to double over in pain.

The girls were strong in their own regard and were definitely stronger opponents than the boys as they didn't fall on the first strike even after Bill sudden power up. Instead, they tried to tank the blow and once they succeeded, they both drew out similar-sized short blades as the leaders and began attacking Bill again.

Bill, however, didn't have to move a muscle as he used the sand manipulation ability as an extension of his arms and block both of their attacks completely.

The leader, who had managed to regain her composure, drew a hidden dagger from her waist and charged toward Bill while he was busy dealing with the two girls. However, he was ready for her. With a quick sidestep, he avoided her attack and grabbed her wrist, twisting it until she dropped the dagger.

The sheer amount of force that Bill was exiting on her wrist and the anger behind that force had petrified the leader as she couldn't believe she was beaten in a contest of speed, something he was the best at within her group.

Eventually, she was able to break free from Bill's grasp and regroup with the other two girls. Even though she was now terrified of Bill's new capabilities, they hadn't given up yet as they still hoped they could bring one person down.

Bill's aura kept rising as her anger began to consume him more and more. He had no idea nor did he register the fact of what was happening to his body, with the most accurate way to describe his feeling was to compare it to the time inside the cave, when Bill battle a horde of Terra beetles and unlocked her level 4 earth ability.

Bill used his earth ability to create one of his all-time favorite skills that he hadn't been able to use in quite some time. Bill had conjured a giant club made out of stone and planted it firmly onto the ground with a massive thud that made the girls' hearts shake.

The girls didn't just stand idly by because they knew, if Bill managed to create a full swing with that massive club it would be game over for them. The two girls both had lighting abilities which they used in an unconventional manner, shocking their legs to move faster.

Bill really didn't understand it but he knew that it was effective as it was getting tough for him to keep track of their movements, but despite their obvious talents, the girls lacked pure skill, something Bill's father had taught him a lot about.

Both girls prepared their surprise attack with their speed from the lightning to attack Bill and take him off guard but as soon as they were 2 feet away from striking Bill, a strong wall of earth was raised from the ground intercepting their path.

The girls were moving so fast that they couldn't change their direction even if they were able to react instantly to the walls being raised and all their built-up momentum backfired as they crashed head-first into a solid stone wall, knocking themselves out in an instant.

The leader watched with a defeated look as she saw the last of her friends fall to just two people.

'How strong is he? His aura is still rising! He is a monster...' The leader thought as she gulped the moment Bill made eye contact with her again.

The leader herself had a level 4 Wind ability as well as a level 3 Fire ability, so she wasn't weak in any way, but when facing Bill who had become something even he didn't fully understand, she looked powerless.

The leader tried to create huge gusts of wind and throw sharp wind blades toward Bill out of desperation, but Bill countered it with his own wind ability of equal strength canceling out the huge gusts of wind and colliding with the wind blades midway.

The leader changed tactics and tried several fire moves, but they too got blocked by his stone and sand ability.

All the while the leader kept on trying to shoot desperate shots, hoping one of them could get past him, Bill was moving closer towards her while dragging the giant stone club behind him on the ground.

The leader was completely out of options as the bloodthirst in Bill's eyes had already spelled out her elimination. Finally, after throwing her twenty-third fireball, the leader finally dropped her hands and stopped resisting, standing still and accepting fate.

While standing still and awaiting her fate, she admitted that she wasn't the nicest nor the most caring person and she admitted that she would use any opportunity for her advantage, but she wanted to justify it by saying that this was exactly what the test was designed to test them on and she had no regrets about any of her actions.

"You shouldn't have messed with us," Bill said as he approached her, his voice low and dangerous. "Now you're going to pay for it."

He raised the giant club towards his back and was about to strike the leader, eliminating her from the test when suddenly a voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Bill, stop!"
