Versatile System Online

Mag'ladroth floated in the skies as he observed the battle between Ray and the Void Beast. He looked as Ray tried to land a hit on the Void Beast but to no avail.

"The Void Beast is a tricky opponent and without the system's help, it would be pretty hard for him," Mag'ladroth wondered, trying to think of Ray's next move.

On the other hand,

Ray stood on the ground, blood dripping down from his hand as he gazed at the Void Beast standing in front of him. The Void Beast stood motionless, its aura increasing by the second as its prowess increased as it fought against Ray.

"What is it doing? How can it use Blink this many times," Ray thought in worry, his eyebrows creased as he tried to think of a way to at least land a hit on the beast.

[Blink]

Ray used blink as he closed in on the Void Beast, his fists covered in fire as he punched the beast.

"Swish...Zhooom"

The wind blew by as the Void Beast disappeared from its place.

"Dammit"

Ray cursed in anger as his attack missed the target, troubled by the Void Beast. Calming his mind, he devised a strategy to eliminate the beast without the help of a weapon and by solely relying on his fists.

Though, this was a big hurdle for Ray as he didn't know any strong techniques while having hand-to-hand combat and all he knew were the basics.

Dungeon Instance,

While Ray tried to tackle the beast, his teammates faced an equally challenging task as they fought against waves of goblins to defend Ray.

"Everyone, get ready. Another wave incoming," Sirius shouted, his claws extending as a blackish aura surrounded his body.

"I can feel it, the barrier is thinning. Just a bit more and I will advance to the next level," Sirius clenched his fists as he thought, the claws digging into his flesh as blood dripped down his fists.

The whole team looked in worry as they saw how beaten up Sirius was. Right now, Sirius's whole body was filled with cuts, his blackish-brown fur tainted with blood as it was even a burden for him to stand straight.

Not to mention fighting against so many goblins but he fought, he fought against those goblins just so he could protect his leader, his freind, so he could protect the person who was there for him when he needed him the most.

"ke…ke…ke…ke…ke"

Eerie giggles sounded in the hall as multiple goblins started to spawn. The goblins were stronger and better than those they fought before while more and more hobgoblins and Goblin shamans appeared in the mix.

"Emma, Analysis," Sirius shouted,

"Seventy-five goblins in total. All stronger than before while there are five goblins with the strength of a Perfected Tier Beast," Emma answered after scanning the goblins and measuring their strengths from their aura.

Listening to her words, everyone tightened their grip on their weapons as they prepared to fend off another wave of attacks.

Meanwhile,

In Another Dungeon Instance,

Nia stood at the entrance of the sixth floor. Her hand gripping onto a spear made of light while besides her stood Zest, who also held a weapon made of light.

While clearing the past floors, Nia and Zest had become good partners and had gotten so good at fighting together that they even took on the floor boss on the fifth floor and defeated it without getting heavily injured.

Looking ahead, Zest cleared his throat and spoke,

"Ahm.. I guess we should take it easy on this floor and save our energy for the last three floors since they would be the hardest to clear,"

"Yeah, let's do this," Nia answered with a smile on her face, her previous suspicions slowly fading away as she started to accept Zest as a friend of hers.

After hearing Zest's suggestion, Nia turned to her teammates and spoke,

"Don't rush to clear this floor. Take it easy and clear the floor without wasting any excess energy,"

"Okay" Everyone replied as they stepped forward and started heading further into the floor.

"Noelle! Please stay," Nia spoke as she asked Noelle to stay back.

"Are you okay? Is there an issue?" Zest asked right after, his expression of concern as he looked into Nia's eyes.

"Don't worry, I am fine. Just need to give some tips to Noelle. Why don't you lead them until then? I won't take long," Nia replied, her voice soft as she convinced Zest that nothing was wrong and she only had to have a chat with Noelle.

Zest listened to her and did as she asked, "Okay guys, let's go," Zest said and led the team forward, leaving behind Nia and Noelle.

"Do you want to say something?" Noelle asked, worry all over her face as she thought that Nia might have stopped her because of some serious matter.

"Nothing happened, I just want to have a chat with you," Nia said and continued, "It's not safe here. Let's walk to another area," She said and dragged Noelle with her to another part of the dungeon.

Nia continued to walk as she headed down a crossroad of caves, her footsteps echoing in the surroundings while Noelle's hurried footsteps echoed behind her.

After gaining some distance from their original position, Nia looked at Noelle and spoke,

"I want to ask you about Zest,"

"Huh? About him? What do you want to ask me about him," Noelle asked, raising her eyebrow suspiciously she spoke,

"No… don't tell me you are starting to like him,"

"Hey! Just answer my question," Nia said in a panic, her emotions in a mess as she placed her hand on her chest and calmed down her racing heart.

"You tell me the reason and I will answer you," Noelle spoke, crossing her arms she looked at Nia as she waited for her to come clean about everything.

"Okay, I will tell you everything but promise not to make fun of me," Nia said and continued, "The thing is that Zest seems like a good guy and even though I belong to one of the biggest families in the city, he treats me just like anyone else. Also, looking at him, you don't find any sort of malice or the greed that many men have in their eyes when they are with me," She explained, her emotions being conveyed by her words.

Looking at her eyes sparkling like diamonds and listening to her words, Noelle only thought of one thing, "This girl is head over heels for him,"

"A*shole!!" She muttered lightly as she looked at Nia and spoke,

"Nia, calm down and think about it with a clear consciousness. You know how men are. Especially for people like Zest, they don't like that on the outside but from within, they are the worst,"

"I recommend you not to hurry and be calm while taking any decision. Also, think of the current situation, what if Zest is some spy? What will you do then? Therefore, give it some time and be friends in the meantime. While doing so, try to find out more about him and when you are sure of him, then come clear about your feelings," Noelle advised Nia, her voice calm as she explained everything slowly and elaborated everything as much as she could.

"Okay, as you say," Nia nodded, her mind in a mess as she couldn't make of anything.

"Let's go back, or else they would start to worry about us," Noelle said as she started walking back to where the whole team was.

Nia followed behind her, her head down as she tried to think of everything rationally, and when she did. Her thoughts cleared up a bit and he realized that she was being very hasty.

To the point that she even forgot why she befriended Zest in the first place, "Yes, I intended to see where his loyalty lies," Nia thought as she face-palmed herself.

"Such a fool I am, what will father think of me when he will hear of it," She thought and took an oath to never fall for someone unknown without knowing about them.

Till the time they both reached back to the team, Nia had a light smile on her face as she had finally cleared her mind and felt like a fresh bird ready to soar in the skies.

As for Noelle, she silently slid between the teammates and became invisible to everyone since no one paid much attention to her anyways.

"Hopefully, I did something right," Noelle thought as she glanced at Zest with suspicion in her eyes. The thing was, that Noelle didn't trust Zest in the first place and many of his actions made her feel very of him. Therefore, when she heard of Nia taking a liking to him, she instantly asked her to think about it and not rush the decision.

"If not her, then I will investigate him and find out about what he is hiding," Noelle vowed as a plan formed in her mind. The plan was to investigate Zest as discreetly as possible and find out about his secrets.

However, it was not only Noelle who planned this as Nia had also planned to dig for some information about Zest and find out who he actually is.
