Versatile: Alternate World

-Title effects activated. Instant Death inflicted.

The red gem broke into million pieces after losing the vitality it once had. Even if the thing that the arrow hit was just an item without life and not an organism, it loses the durability it has possessed, leading to its "death." It looks like my understanding of that instant death ability is something I need to study more.

It was just pure luck that I managed to break the crystal since I am thinking it must be one of the sources of its power to move. And since the proc rate of the instant is very, very small, I didn't think much of it right when I hit the red gem. If it was destroyed, perhaps I might be able to reduce the danger the enemy possesses. But I didn't expect that the item I was looking for is currently being encased inside the red gem.

Lina who saw the falling item immediately leap from her position and grabbed the item before the goop can even grab it. When the item was caught by Lina, the goop moved and desperately try to grab Lina's legs using its tentacles.

"You f*cking... this bastard is still alive?"

I quickly changed my weapon into a sword and slashes the incoming tentacles with it. And for some reason, this time, the sword is now allowing me to damage the goop. I didn't even reduce its health when I stabbed it with my sword so how come its health got reduced when I just cut off a few of its body?

'Is it because of the red gem?'

I tried to throw a [Fireball] to the goop and unlike before where it just swallowed the [Fireball] that I just throw, this time, the moment it landed at the goop, the reaction was great and it roared as hard as it can. The HP of the boss also got reduced a bit. Seeing that the damage is no longer minuscule unless I deal the damage inside its body, there's no need to hold back.

"You little bastard. We got you now."

...

...

The end process was unexpected. At first, I thought I would have a hard time killing this goop since I have no idea its weakness. No...more likely, the Instant death of my title helped a lot to destroy the red gem. If it didn't proc, I would have to keep reducing its health and remove it from the goop to reduce its durability. You can say that my luck has helped a lot in this.

I spammed a few spells and defended a few of its attacks but since it lost its ability to be threatening, I didn't have trouble dealing with it. Even Lina is just buffing me with her abilities and no longer attacks the boss. With my buffed damage and spamming the attacks against it, the goop didn't last long and dissolved before it can even deal a lot of damage.

"Phew, the battle became much easier than expected," I wipe my sweat after defeating the boss. Since this was just a trial, I didn't receive any rewards for killing the boss.

"Master, here is the item that we need to finish the trial."

Lina handed the Heart of the Undying King to me. It looks like an ordinary red rock but when you inspect it, it was actually made from hardened flesh and a bit of muscle which is understandable as it was a heart. However, it just looks like a small unrefined stone you could always see on the road.

[Heart of the Undying King]

Type: Quest Item

Info: The hidden heart of the Undying King. It was supposed to be the extra heart of the undying king. Once its original body is defeated, the heart will immediately take over and use the remains of the undying king to defeat the ones who killed it. It looks like a gem at first so that any treasure hunter that tries to take it out would immediately fall to its trap.

Note: My heart is not made of stone!

...

The Flesh Blood also returned from its original dead form after I canceled its contract. However, after I canceled the contract, a small fragment of stone appeared beneath its body. It was a shiny rock and since it came out from the flesh blood, I assume it is some sort of item that I can take back. When I picked it up, my assumption is indeed correct, the rock that fell from the Flesh Blood, is indeed an item and one of the incredible gains I got today.

[Fragment of the Flesh Blood]

Type: Unique Item

Info: A fragment that contains a fragment of memory and body of the Flesh Blood. If used as a catalyst in Necromancy, you can summon a Flesh Blood creature as a summon. It can be used infinitely as long as you have the catalyst in your possession.

Note: Damn, why does this look more like kidney stones?

The note is kind of right this time, it does look like a kidney stone. But at least it's not a lump of flesh as a catalyst. It would be more disgusting if it was indeed a lump of flesh. However, this might be what most Necromancers in the past timeline used to fight especially for those quick casting Necromancers. They keep bringing a corpse with them so I thought that was its way to resurrect the dead. Maybe the reason they harvest corpses is to get a fragment? No, I don't think that's it.

Perhaps this is a new item that has been implemented. As someone who can use it, this will help me a lot in the future. Not only it is unlimited usage but I can summon the Flesh Blood and use it to fight in someone's bidding.

There is nothing much of interest after that and we decided to leave. The moment we left the cave, the portal started to get distorted and a huge magic circle appeared beneath us making Lina put up her guard once more.

"Master! What is going on?!"

"Relax Lina, it seems we are now going to return to the real world."

POP!

In just a few seconds, Lina and I are back to where we are standing before we entered the portal. The voice of the Entity of the Shrine of Ascension echoed from the dark after we recovered our bearings.

"Looks like you guys are back and the quest item that I am trying you guys to retrieve is also here! Nice job."

"Ha, we didn't do much since we only managed to win due to the effects of the title," I scratch my head.

"As expected from the [Death's Favorite], you are really blessed by her for you to get a fragment of her power as Death. Only a few people can have her power at her disposal and use it as effectively as yours."

"Power of Death?" Lina looked confused.

The others inside my Summon's area are also confused especially for Lucia since she was a devout follower of the Goddess of Death. As for Atlas, he seemed to be not surprised. Perhaps he knows something about it since it was pretty obvious at some points and since Atlas is quite sharp in things like dark element magic, he is surely noticing the dark powers of the Instant Death tactic whenever it activates. After all, I can't predict if it happens since it is pretty random and pretty rare.

"What are you going to use the [Heart of Undying King]? Also, you made the monster so why would you need something that you just made? You can just at least create another one identical to it," I said after noticing it.

"You are mistaken, Bladeheart. I indeed created the portal, however, this monster is not something I can just create in a willy dally and I don't want to create creatures similar to that."

"Then what the hell is this Undying king's heart? What are you going to use it for?"

"Heh, that would be a secret for next time. I can tell that this will be not the last time we will be seeing. Anyways, since you guys have achieved the requirements to finish the trial in 2 hours, you guys can now be class upped. Enjoy the job changes!"

SNAP!

Lina and my body started to float in the air and just like how a usual ascension happens, it started to get wild in our body and our mind suddenly get swirly and confusing that a lot of things happened. It keeps on going for quite a while before it stopped.

My body felt weak all of a sudden. Due to the class change, we managed to upgrade the class of the Versatile and Lina's new job as Versatile Battle Maid.

As for me, I opened my status board and my class as a Versatile is now changed as Versatile, Jack of all Trades.

[Versatile, Jack of All Trades]

Info: A class that can function like normal classes. However, this time, not only does the user can use the ability of all Tier 1 to tier 5 magic, even the skills of all classes after their ascension.. It's not limited to which class you can use, you can use all classes branches alongside the second classes.
