Versatile System Online

“Mom…Are you guys all right? Stay in the house and activate the arrays. I will try to be there soon,” Ray spoke into the phone. Previously, when he walked out of the cafeteria, he felt his phone ringing.

Picking it up, he realized it was his mother who was asking about his situation. After all, a mother always cared for her children, no matter who they were. She would always worry for them.

Therefore, reassuring his mother, he told her to stay at home and be safe. Previously, he had fixed all the arrays in the mansion and made them functional. Therefore, when activated; the mansion would be locked down and no one would be able to enter while only his mother had the authority over all the arrays.

This way, he protected the whole land which covered dozens of acres and although it was expensive, it was something necessary and was part of the preparation plan.

Cutting the line, he put his phone into his pocket and made his way to his teammates. Looking at all of them, he realized that they were pretty nervous as they watched the skies tremble while reddish lightning streaked all over.𝓝𝑜𝗏𝔢𝗅𝓃𝓮xt.𝒸𝒐𝑀

Slowly, the clouds started to darken as the skies turned red. The bloody color illuminated the skies as they turned even more intimidating. However, this was the least of it as all around the academy, the space was cracking as different sorts of monsters invaded.

Pulling out his badge, he contacted the dean, “Yes Ray? What happened out there? Are the students safe?” The dean a sled right as he picked up his call.

“The students in the cafeteria were able to escape. But what are you all doing? Why isn’t the Academy defense working? There are several inter-dimensional portals opening up and from what I feel, the ones coming through them aren’t any civilized beings but rather rabid monsters who would cause a massacre all over the academy,” Ray spoke. His voice was also trembling as even though he prepared for everything, the chaotic situation still made him worried.

Not to mention the fear of the unknown as he knew nothing of what could happen next.

“That’s the problem. The dimensional arrays parent working. Someone tampered with them. Therefore, the best we can do is to block anyone from coming inside the Academy but for the interdimensional portal opening inside the academy, we will have to fight the ones that come through,” The dean spoke with regret. His voice was laced with guilt as he had an idea of the chaos that could be caused due to all this.

“I understand. We will try our best to help the Academy. Also, I have to inform you that since the academy isn’t safe for now, I and my teammates will be returning to my place. I placed dimensional blockers all over my place. Also, we can discuss more of our future plans there,” Ray answered and cut the call.

Listening to Ray, the dean sighed as he looked through his window as a high portal formed, “So they decided to invade us right away,” He muttered and disappeared.

Going down to his spatial pocket, the dean opened a box placed there. Within the box lay a scythe. Though, the scythe was different as its cryptic runes ran all over it while an eerie emanated from it.

Grabbing the dark black scythe, the dean felt its power coursing through his body as he spoke, “The time has come. I need your help once again,” he said as within the scythe, a consciousness was awoken as a voice sounded in the dean’s mind.

“It is my honor, The Lord Of Souls,” As the voice spoke, the scythe glowed as a cloud of black smoke came out of it and the scythe fused within the dean’s body.

After that, Ray turned around and glanced at another wooden box laying down on the ground. The box looked pretty old and had multiple marks on it.

Seeing the box, the dean hesitated for a bit before he finally gave in and opened the box. Within the box was a pure black hooded robe along with a dark black crown. The crown was as black as night while three black gems were studded upon it that gleamed with a dangerous glint. The crown had various inscriptions inscribed upon it as they all formed the figure of the angel of death.

With a bit of hesitation, the dean grabbed the robe as he wore it. As he did, the robe adjusted a bit and fit his figure completely as a mysterious aura covered him.

Then, grabbing the black crown, the dean put it on his head as the crown fit him perfectly. As soon as he wore the crown, the gems studded upon it shone as a voice sounded within his consciousness,

“The angel of death is finally complete. It seems that the time has come for the advent of death to show itself and pledge his loyalty to the chosen one,” the scythe’s voice sounded in his mind as right after the gems glowed, the dean’s eyes turned dark.

While the dean prepared himself, the situation outside turned for worse as the first spatial crack finally opened.

As Ray had infused the void element into his eye, he could actually see the spatial cracks opening everywhere, and therefore, when the crack actually opened, he and his team were ready to face it.

Ray equipped his bloodline weapons as the Void Gauntlets and bracers along with the temporal breastplate appeared on his body. Then, with his hands engulfed in fire, bombarded the spatial crack with multiple fireballs as it opened.

“Skree..” a loud scream came from within as a couple of burning figures tore through the crack.

“Trolls,” Aurora spoke in his head.

“Okay,” He nodded as he used his system’s newly unlocked feature,

[Analysis],

This allowed him to analyze various things and beings. Though, if their levels were too high or foreign to the system, their information might be incomplete. The feature had a lot of potentials and was very useful at times such as this,

[Analysis complete,

Species Analyzed:- Trolls

Type:- Forest Trolls

Description:- Huge magical creatures lacking the ability to think. Have immense strength and are closely connected to the natural element. Though they have slight immunity to ice, they are completely immune to various elemental attacks other than fire as fire is their ultimate weakness]

Reading the short and concise analysis that appeared in front of his eyes, Ray nodded as he turned to his teammates and shouted,

“They are weak to fire and to ice as well, to some extent. Also, change the formation and use physical attacks more. They have elemental immunity to most elements,” Ray told them as he took out the dagger.

With the dagger in his hand, he fused it with a fire element and held it in a backhand grip for easier control. Then, with his other hand engulfed in fire, he kicked the ground and threw fireballs at the already burning trolls.

Since the fire was their weakness, the attacks he rained down upon them before worked quite well as the first couple of trolls to come out of the spatial crack were dealt with in a few minutes only.

However, that wasn’t it as the spatial crack continued to enlarge until it formed a small portal. Other than that, a couple of spatial cracks also opened up in the surroundings as multiple trolls came out of them.

Looking at this, Ray turned to his teammates and spoke,

“Everyone, form groups of two and deal with the incoming trolls from the other portals. I will deal with those over here,” Then, turning to Aella, he spoke, “I believe in you, please help everyone and gather them. If everyone works together and fights, I am sure that we would be able to deal with this,”

As he said this, he looked right into her eyes and said softly, “I love you,”

As he said those words, Aella nodded as she turned around and along with Elina, she ran into the corridors to gather the rest of the students and get them to fight the trolls.

On the other hand, Sirius and Noah went off together as the duo decided to fend off the trolls appearing inside another corridor of the academy.

With Tim and Kid deciding to head to the dorm rooms to clear the trolls over there, only Ray and Kashish were left as Aliya had decided to run for the infirmary to help in healing the wounded that might head there.

Turning to Kashish, Ray asked,

“Do you have experience in fighting? Also, what ability or element do you use?”

“Don’t worry about me, I can handle these trolls easily. Let’s fight them together,” She said as she waved her hands and a loose robe covered her body. The robe was green in color as strange vines pulsed within it,

“Also, I am a nature element user,” She spoke and added, “Also, don’t worry about my magic not working on them. You see, my magic is different,” As she spoke she threw multiple seeds on the ground and raised her hand as she cast her spell,

[Seed Growth],

A green light pulsed out from her body as the seeds had small sprouts coming out of them within seconds, the seeds grew into multiple vines that dug into the Academy floor and disappeared.

On the other hand, Ray, upon seeing the newcomer being confident one that strength let her be as he had the trolls to take care of.

Fighting the trolls, the dumb monsters increased in numbers as they headed for him. Slowly, being overwhelmed by them, he saw strange vines creeping up the floor as they wound around their legs and trapped them in their places.

Seeing this, he turned back to the newcomer and nodded as this lifted a big pressure from his shoulders. Like this, the duo started to fight as one supported the other in decimating the forest trolls.
