Versatile System Online-Chapter 157 Soulmancer (Part 1)

"Let's do this," Ray muttered, grinning widely; his blood pumped in anticipation.

Looking forward, he controlled the shards and gave them shape. Under Ray's command, the shards joined together as they formed a long chain.

Then, pulling them towards himself, he put his hands forward as the shards connected to his gauntlets.

With that done, he used but a thought as the shards became flexible. Testing the final product, he swung his hands around as a satisfied smile came upon his face.

"Perfect," He thought.

On the other hand, 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Sirius, who had been standing listlessly all this time; finally moved. Although his eyes were still blank, there was some sort of clarity within them.

Transforming into a werewolf, he went down on his fours as he kicked the ground, and lunged forward.

"Swoosh"

The wind whistled as Sirius disappeared from his spot. Appearing besides Ray, he stood a couple of steps behind him.

"Awoooo" He howled lightly.

"Huh?"

Ray turned around and looked at him. Confused, he stared at the wolf for a few more seconds as he didn't understand one thing.

"Why is he on his fours? Also, what's wrong with his face? There is no expression whatsoever," Ray thought.

Asking Aurora, he got no answer as Aurora seemed to have disappeared.

Not thinking much about that, he nodded towards Sirius and turned his attention to the huge light beam that continuously shone into the sky.

By now, the beam had decreased in intensity and seemed to be disappearing. In the middle of the beam, Ray could make out a vague outline of an alluring woman.

The woman was none other than the Goblin Queen. Though, she had changed a lot. Her skin had become smoother and her hair had gained a luster previously absent.

Her body had become more curvier as her breasts had increased in size while her lithe waist made one second their thoughts of judging her skills while in bed.

Though, that wasn't the most noticeable change as it was her face that had changed the most.

Her previous hideous face had changed and became neater and more alluring than ever.

The scars and blemishes were gone, replaced by smoother and much healthier skin.

All in all, the Goblin Queen had changed to become more seductive and alluring than before. Not to mention that right now, she wore nothing; hence with her beauty being shown openly. Even Ray had to gulp and turn his eyes away.

Though from the distance Ray was at and the vagueness due to the beam of light, Ray failed to notice one thing. That, the Goblin Queen, although beautiful and more alluring than before; seemed to have aged.

With it not being a huge change, it wasn't noticed by Ray. However, it was true as she overall had become more elegant and mature.

The Goblin Queen's eyes fluttered. With the beam of light receding, her figure became more visible as her body made movement.

"Sirius, be ready, and don't get in the way if you can't keep up with me, or else, you would be nothing but a burden," Ray spoke bluntly. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

His words were harsh and he didn't care. After all, Ray knew how Sirius was and being with him. He knew that Sirius didn't care about it all as well and right now, all that he cared about was the same as Ray. And it was, defeating the Goblin Queen.

Meanwhile,

The dean stood in a foreign place. Surrounded by hundreds of goblins, the man sighed;

"Sigh.. To think that the outworlders played such a cheap trick," He said to himself.

Then, lifting his hand; he snapped his fingers as the Goblins were massacred.

Their body slicing into millions of pieces as their blood turned into a greenish fog.

"Show your face, coward!" The dean spat on the ground and spoke.

"Kekeke… I finally meet the so-called Prometheus and that's how he treats me, tsk… how much I heard about you," A voice sounded as a silhouette appeared. The voice was extremely disturbing as it had a metallic ring to it.

Sensing a presence, the dean turned around as he saw a figure coming out of the shadows.

"Swoosh," A wind blew by as the shadows disappeared. With that, the figure became visible as the dean finally had a good look at the man standing in front of him.

With dark eyes and pointed ears. The elf's race was clear, not to mention its dark skin as the red spot on its forehead. There was no doubt that the person in front of him was none other than a dark elf.

"What are you doing here?" The dean asked.

"What do you mean? It's my personal domain, I could do whatever I want over here. Though, I need to ask; what are you doing here," The dark elf spoke.

His expression getting fiercer by the second as right after muttering the last word, the dean ducked as a shadow blade slashed above him.

"I don't care what games you are playing. You are going to pay for it," The dean shouted. His voice was neither too our nor too weak as it was just of the right intensity.

"Let's see," The dark elf smirked.

With that, both parties disappeared from their positions as they attacked each other. The dark elf fought using a blade engulfed within shadows whereas the dean fought barehanded.

"Bammm"

The dean's fist collided with the elf's blade. Making a dull sound, an explosion occurred as both of them were thrown backward.

Skidding on the surface, the dean finally stopped as he looked at the dark elf in front of him; crouching as the elf's hand trembled.

"How was that? Did you like it? You know what? I can do this all day," The dean smirked and spoke. Taunting the dark elf, he even used his hands as he made provoking gestures to make the elf angry.

"As if. I know all your tricks you old bastard and I won't fall for them," The dark elf spoke. His voice tinged with anger as the elf readied for the next round of attacks.

Seeing the elf's expression and hearing his words, the dean smirked as his lips lifted slightly.

"Oh… you don't even know what you have fallen into," the dean thought.

"Let me show you a small bit of my power," The dean loudly said.

Lifting his hands, the dean finally activated his system as he used his true power for the first time ever.

"Screeee"

A loud high pitched shrill scream sounded as a blackish fog enveloped the dean.

"Let's have some fun," The dean's voice sounded from within the fog as the fog took form and his outline was formed.

The dean wasn't visible as a pair of reddish eerie eyes shone brightly while rows of jaws opened up to form a hideous grin.

This was the result of the dean using a small percentage of power. With the dean being a "Soulmancer", he had a lot of souls under his command.

And right now, he used a few of those souls to cover himself with them and use them as an armor.

"Emerge," The dean said.

As soon as the dean spoke the word, the ground opened up a death scythe emerge from the ground. The scythe was pitch black in color while its blade shone with a dangerous glint.

"Finally, you decided to show that power of yours. Today, I will personally see if you are what they saw you are," The dark elf spoke.

"Keke," listening to the dark elf, the dean only giggled as he lifted the death scythe and disappeared from his position.

"Zhinggg… Clanckk"

The death scythe cut through the air as the dean attacked the dark elf's neck.

Since the dark elves were known to be physically weak, the dean chose to close in on the man and fight with him in melee combat.

This way, the dean wouldn't have to show the true extent of his powers and would also be able to kill the dark elf without wasting a huge amount of energy.

The dark elf intercepted the scythe with his blade; shadows appeared as they traveled from the dark elf's blade to the dean's scythe.

Sadly, as soon as the shadows touched the scythe, they evaporated.

Although it was unknown how? It was the ability of one of the souls under the dean's command.

"So you can use their abilities to some extent," The dark elf muttered.

Analyzing the situation, the dark elf concluded that right now, he was on the losing end and if he continued to fight like this, he might as well lose.

Therefore, he decided to distance himself as he hopped back and tried to vanish into the shadows.

"Zhinggg…Swish…Splatt,"

A dagger appeared as it streaked through the air and pierced through the dark elf's thigh.

"Arghhhh" Screaming in pain, the shadows disappeared as his plan to escape was thwarted by the dagger.
