Versatile System Online

Shadows flashed by as Sirius came back to the battlefield. His figure was covered by shadows that seemed to flicker every second.

"Don't worry. He will be here soon," Sirius told the rest of them and raised his hands. The shadows around him surged and condensed around his claws. His claws turned deadlier as the darkness within them seemed alive.

Sirius grinned. He felt his blood boil as the urge to tear the assassin into various pieces made him forget everything else. Kicking the ground, Sirius's figure flickered as he disappeared.

The space in front of the assassin fluctuated as Sirius appeared there and slashed down at the assassin. Seeing the dangerous arc of darkness approach him, the assassin crossed his hands over his chest and blocked the attack.

"Blerghhh," The assassin suddenly coughed as blood poured out of his throat.

His face turned pale as he looked up at Sirius in shock. "I am stronger than him, how did he manage to hurt me?" Thought the assassin in shock.

He stepped back and turned into a cloud of smoke as he retreated further. He had to take some time to heal himself and figure out more about the strange wolf.

Seeing the assassin retreat, Sirius did not stop. He had found the opening and it would be foolish of him to not push seize the chance now by pushing forward.

Seeing Sirius push forward, the others did the same. Aella brought out the bow and inserted three arrows in it while Tim pulled out his trusty shield.

John took a staff out of his spatial storage as a golden light shone all over him. His body turned hairy as a tail popped out from behind him. His ears elongated while his eyes turned sharper. Tilting his head sideways, John looked at the assassin curiously.

He pulled the staff and raised it in the air as light golden energy surged into it. The staff pulsed rhythmically as waves of energy radiated off of it.

"Eeee….Aaaaa…Oooo…Aaaa"

Making strange noises, John jumped in the air and hopped towards the assassin. He raised the staff and brought it down on the ground.

"Zhinngggg," A dull metallic sound rang out as the ground trembled slightly.

The assassin suddenly felt dizzy. His world seemed to be spinning as he found it hard to stand still.

Seizing the chance, Tim and Aella pressed forward. Tim ran forward and injected his energy into the shield as the shield expanded. It glowed slightly as a resplendent light shone all over it.

Spikes protruded out of the shield as,

"Banggg!!" Tim slammed into the assassin. Then, kicking the shield further, he sprang backwards while Aella plucked the bowstring.

The air whizzed as the arrows were released. They cut through the air and flew to the assassin. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

"Alight," Aella muttered as the arrows changed. One caught fire while the other got enclosed in ice. As for the last arrow, it had strange electrical sparks running all over it as it suddenly disappeared.

The arrow appeared behind the assassin. The assassin failed to notice the lightning arrow as he had put all of his attention on defending against the first two as he suddenly shrieked in pain.

The lightning arrow was stuck in his back as it released an electrical surge right into his body. The assassin felt his body get numb as his spine was electrocuted continuously.

The momentary pause was all Sirius needed. His figure flashed as he appeared in front of the assassin. The claws extended as,

"Spurrttt," Blood spilled everywhere. The was pierced through the assassin's chest but Sirius didn't stop. He raised his other hand and pierced the assassin's throat as well.

Sirius smiled. He had finally dealt good damage to the assassin. He even believed that it was enough to kill the assassin. However, Sirius suddenly frowned.

"How could it be so easy?" He thought as his expression turned grim. He noticed the assassin smiling at him eerily. It wasn't the smile of someone who had lost, instead, it seemed as if Sirius had fallen into a trap.

"F*ck," He barely cursed as the darkness around the assassin surged.

"Boooommm," An explosion occurred as the assassin's body blew into multiple pieces. The pieces of flesh flew in the air as they exploded simultaneously.

Sirius, who was in the heart of the explosion flew back into the air while Tim and Aella were the next ones to receive the burnt of attack.

However, they didn't receive much damage as Tim had used his shield to block the attack. On the other hand, John's staff expanded as he used it to shield the rest of them.

"Hehe, you fell for it," The assassin's slightly weak voice sounded. Although the assassin self-destructed himself, he had received certain backlash from doing so but for the assassin, it was nothing.

"Tim, he is weaker than before. Let's attack," Aella said.

Raising his shield, Tim nodded eagerly and solemnly. His hands and feet still trembled from the shockwave that spread after the explosion.

On the other hand, John raised his staff as well. The staff had lost much of its luster but for John, it was an equal trade. He had sacrificed a part of his power for everyone's safety.

"Okay, guys. We aren't here to sit on our hands, we are here to attack and that is what we will do exactly," Said John as he commanded the rest of the students.

The students nodded. They were thankful to John and also knew their purpose for coming here. Therefore, they didn't shy away from helping out and contributing.

The mana in the air trembled. They gathered their powers as multiple elements were gathered around them. John stood in front of them and pointed his staff forward.

The assassin who stood at the other side grinned. His voice sounded out as he spoke, "I am going to have some fun playing with you but before that, do tell me. Did you really think that you could match up against me and defeat me? Just look at your overall strength, its still inferior to mine,"

As the assassin mocked, the darkness around him surged. Various balls of smoke gathered around him as he pointed forward. The balls of smoke condensed into small spears as they spun and headed for them.

"Hmphhh!" John snorted and swung his staff. Swinging the staff here and there, he deflected the shadow spears while the rest of the team members launched their attacks.

The space lit up as rocks, fireballs, and air bullets flew in the air. The assassin didn't panic. He raised his other hand and blocked the attacks with ease.

"Bangg!!" A shield slammed into him from behind and right after, the arrows stuck him yet again. The assassin groaned in pain but didn't receive much damage.

Suddenly, the air was pierced as icicles flew in the air and struck the assassin. The icicles struck his feet as Kid tried to immobilize the assassin and succeeded pretty easily.

The assassin however remained calm. His composure was as before. The shadows around him flickered as he suddenly split into two. The two figures then flickered again as they split once more.

The figures then turned to look at Kid as they grinned. The figures flickered and appeared in front of Kid. A dagger appeared in their hands as they all simultaneously stabbed him. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Seeing them bombard him with various stabs, Kid erected an ice wall to block them and tried to retreat. However, he suddenly froze. His eyes were wide open as he turned pale. He glanced behind him, only to find another figure smiling at him eerily.

A dagger had pierced his back as the figures in front of him disappeared. kid was too na?ve. He underestimated his opponent and that cost him dearly.

"You are still a kid. Therefore, be as you are and live the time you have left dearly," The assassin spoke rather pitifully and then disappeared again.

Kid fell to his knees as the blood continued to spill from the wound. His mind flashed with various images as he thought, "Why?" he questioned himself, "It's not time yet. I still have so many things to do. What about mom?" he thought.

As his vision turned blurry, his consciousness started to fade. His thoughts were a mess as he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a refreshing breeze blew by as a hand appeared in front of him.

Covered by a gauntlet that had various archaic patterns over it, the hand held out a small vial that had yellowish shimmering liquid within it.

It poured down the liquid inside his mouth as Kid felt his life force returning. His wound started closing up and Kid was now out of danger. Exhaustion reached him as he finally closed his eyes.

"Don't worry. You did well," Ray sighed. He then laid Kid on the ground and turned around. He looked at the battlefield and found half of the team down on the ground.

"Guess I will have to step in and handle the situation," He muttered and stepped forward. His figure disappeared and appeared in the air.

Arcs of lightning surged all over him and then condensed around his finger. Pointing forward with his finger, bolts of lightning were thrown at the assassin.
