Versatile System Online

"How is he?" the dean asked in worry.

"Drained," Amanda replied and asked, "Why do you let him use that sword when you know what it does,"

"I don't like him using it as well but he insists on it. That sword is very compatible with his affinity and allows him to pull off his full potential," The dean answered, scratching his chin; he looked into the horizon and sighed,

"I just hope that he doesn't end like his father. By far, he has done well fighting that sword's influence but who knows of the future?" the dean thought out loud. While doing so, he was asking himself a question too.

He had seen what happened to Silent Sword's father and even though he was just a kid in the Mortal Realm, he remembered it all very vividly.

It was all thanks to the Commander General who stepped forward and stopped the carnage that Silent Sword's father caused. He still remembered how blood flowed through the city that day and it still made him shiver.

"Hopefully," Amanda sighed as well.

"Wake up," The dean walked to Silent Sword and shook him lightly.

"Huh?" The man opened his eyes. Their clarity returned as he seemed to have jolted up from a horrendous dream.

"Don't tell me. I was too close to messing it up again, was I?" he spoke and sat up. Grabbing his head in frustration, he looked at the shiny sword that lay on the ground. In his vision, the sword was smeared with blood and the phantom of his father still held it horizontally as he cut his mother's throat with it.

His eyes watered as he closed them. Opening them again, everything was gone. It was yet another vision induced by the sword. A bad memory that had resurfaced again.

"Don't worry. Everything is settled now, let's go," said the dean. Unfurling his wings, he looked to the skies and spoke, "I will be in the city, overseeing the situation. Amanda, you stay with him for a while and check his health. After that, come back to me. As for you," The dean pointed at Silent Sword and said,

"The princess will be here again after some time and I want you to build good ties with her. Even though I told her that it would be a Calamity Realm expert at guard, I think that some plans could be changed," Smiling, the dean flapped his wings and took to the air.

His figure vanished in the endless sky as he streaked towards the city.

"Get well soon," Amanda sighed and walked towards the makeshift hut she had just set up. It had been a long day for he and she was going to have some rest.

"And yeah… you four. Come here," Thinking of something, she turned around and called.

"Yes… mam," the ones behind the rock stuttered. Just right now, they had given their all to be safe from the aftereffects of the battle between Silent Sword and the Sea Princess and even after giving it their all, a few of their members died.

Even though they weren't in the best of conditions themselves and seeing Amanda call them, they rushed forward not to upset the Celestial. After all, she could make them vanish from the face of the Earth with the snap of her finger.

"Take rounds and guard this place. If anything happens, just press this button. I will be there myself. Don't you dare come inside," She warned with a stern voice and walked inside.

She didn't care if anything happened to these four and even if they entered the hut, she will know of it right away and it wouldn't be too good for them but she still warned them in advance.

While she walked inside the hut, the dean on the other hand reached the city.

He flapped his wings and stopped in the air. Floating above the city, he looked down at the whole scenario. He saw various monsters rampaging around, breaking things, and killing anyone they found. Some of these were even killed by the enforcers but the enforcers were not enough.

They were already working to their line and had been awake for the past three days and right now, they were on their wits.

"Guess I will be clearing some small fries," The dean smiled and bolted downwards.

Meanwhile,

pAnD a(-)n0ve1.com Deeper in the city,

Debris was scattered everywhere as blood and grime littered the roads. In the middle of all this destruction stood a man with sizzling hot blood dripping off his body. His body temperature was so high that even the blood around him was evaporated.

As for his own blood. It was no less than reddish lava. The man was Inferno and he had been fighting none stop for the past three days and during this time, he hadn't taken a single break.

The others around him were either dead or too wounded to continue as he single-handedly finished every one.

Besides him was another man. Though he was vastly different from Inferno. His body was covered in pure light as a whitish halo glowed over his head.

This was Abraham. Having been a very good friend of the dean, he stood beside Inferno and used his powers to not only heal him but also provided him with support and extra energy to keep on moving.

This was one of the biggest factors that led to Inferno's continued fighting against the enemies like a killing machine.

"Prometheus is back," Abraham spoke. His voice was calm and gentle as it seemed to soothe the surroundings.

This was the effect divine energy had on everything and right now, Abraham was constantly using his divine energy to calm Inferno and stop him from falling into bloodlust and going berserk.

"Good…Good," Inferno answered back in a hoarse voice. His eyes were bloodshot and if not for Abraham, he would have gone berserk long ago.

"Yes, he is here but it will take some time before he reaches us. He seems to be busy at the moment," Abraham added.

"Let's clear some more stuff till then," Said Inferno in excitement. He kept on rubbing his palms together and it seemed that the bloodlust was getting onto him more and more.

He couldn't think of anything other than fighting and blood. Abraham knew that this wasn't a good sign and meant that the effect of his divine powers was decreasing more and more and if this continued to happen, Inferno would go on a rampage that no one would like happening.

"Let's take a rest. We have cleared this block already," Said Abraham, trying to calm him down and get him away from the battles.

"But I don't want to and we can travel to other blocks very easily," Replied Inferno rather innocently. From the way he spoke, one would definitely get the idea that he was just an innocent man trying to help out.

But only those who knew him were aware of what it really meant. Inferno was never a kind and innocent man. He did have a pure heart but his love for battles and fights was unparalleled and if someone stopped him from battling, he wouldn't ask about it like a kid and would instead take things into his own hands.

"No, let's go," Said Abraham as he put his hand on Inferno's shoulder. A wave of divine energy gushed into Inferno's body as it cleared his mind and calmed him.

His eyes blinded by bloodlust cleared up a bit as his tense expression relaxed. He looked back at Abraham and blinked,

"Hey... Get your nasty hand off me," He slapped Abraham's hand off his shoulder and looked around the battlefield.

"What are we doing here? The battlefield is empty," He spoke and then turned around, "I am going back to the camp. The fighting has gone on for a bit too long. Let's take a small rest before continuing again,"

Saying that, Inferno's hands went ablaze. Aiming them onto the ground, he fired two small pillars of fire from them and took to the air.

On the other hand,

Abraham wasn't too good. His body experienced light removal as a vein popped on his forehead.

"Blerghhh," He suddenly fell to the ground and vomited a black sticky substance.

"What is this?" He looked at the substance and thought.

Standing up again, he looked around and raised his hands. The solemn white light over his body disappeared as a blueish hue covered from top to bottom.

Closing his eyes, his vision changed. Instead of the darkness that came after on closed their eyes, Abraham's vision only cleared up more.

He was able to observe even the smallest particle present. He concentrated his vision on the black sticky substance and tried to find its traces.

He looked around for some traces but nothing came to him, "I guess it's the effect of absorbing his bloodlust," Abraham thought and canceled his ability.

The blue light receded as his body went back to normal. Abraham looked around once more and then unfurled his wings. Flying into the air, he decided to clear some more blocks before meeting up with the dean.
