Versatile System Online



Meanwhile,

As Ray lifted off the barrier that not only hid the presence of the mansion but also acted as the strongest defensive cover, a pair of eyes flashed open inside the highest pagoda several kilometers away from the base.

To awaken and gather the attention of the enemy, this was Ray's purpose from the beginning and Ray had half achieved it as he even from kilometers apart, the strange presence from within the pagoda locked onto the location of the mansion.

Apparently, the mansion shone like a beacon to most beasts and other creatures that were sensitive to energies, especially mana. Since the mansion ran on a whole load of spirit cores, the energy it released was tremendous and that lead to the mansion shining like a beacon to the senses of those creatures and beings.

Therefore, to tackle with the issue and to avoid unnecessary confrontations with the enemy, Ray utilized the barrier and even though the barrier consume a fourth of the total energy of the mansion, it was worth. The biggest ability of the barrier was to cloak not only the presence of the mansion but also the energy signatures it released and to someone highly attuned with mana or energy, it would be nothing more than a slight disturbance in their readings.

To say that elves were one of the beings that were not only highly attuned with nature but mana itself was not wrong. They were blessed by mana and even the worse elven talent had a higher than average affinity to mana as compared to humans.

Therefore, when the pagodas were formed and the elves were transported to Earth, they naturally sensed the slight disturbance in am a kilometers away. To confirm their thoughts, several scouts were sent but they saw nothing due to the presence of the barrier. The mansion was hidden and it all seemed normal and if not for the slight disturbances they felt, they would have dismissed it completely.

ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm Ray had really drawn the short end of the stick as the elves were not just highly attuned to mana but also smart. After all, they were a race of humanoids who had lived for millions of year's and their intelligence was not lower and if not higher than humans and with a single elf having a lifespan of hundreds of year's, they naturally had more experience than humans. Especially in warfare and strategy making.

All this time, the elves had stuck on and they kept on persisting. After a few days of torturous scouting, the elves finally saw hope as they saw a small party of humans appear out of nowhere. Scouting a but more, they saw the part disappear into nowhere as well.

When the news was brought to the elven leader, the scouts were asked to continue with their jobs and observe the situation. The leader had planned to gather information before taking an action but before he could do a thing, the humans moved.

As far as he remembered, it was a werewolf and although he didn't know what an Alpha with such a pure bloodline was doing in the forest, it was clear that the werewolf was an ally to humans.

Within a week, four elves were captured. Out of which, one was his daughter herself. He was furious and seethed to the point that he had to go into meditation to calm himself down. After all, the most he could do was prepare for the worst as the enemy was invisible and if he attacked blindly, he would be risking his everything for a small chance at victory and as far as the elven chief was concerned, he wouldn't take a gamble even if his daughter was harmed. For him, the responsibility of his race was greater than that of his family.

But now? Now that the enemy had invited them to their doors, he would do so happily and step on them. He would match on and show the enemy who he is.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as the chief stood up and his figure disappeared. As he did, a great shock spread through the elves as everyone was asked to get ready for a battle against humans.

Though a peaceful race, they never shied away from battle. It was the nature of elves and they could be as ruthless as they could be if poked and it wasn't wrong to say that this time, Ray had really liked the hornet's nest.

Little did he care as kilometers away, Ray had already prepared for battle. For the past week, a total of hundred survivors had been trained to fight like elites. Their previous encounters in the academy had bathed them in blood while the training from Ray's teammates and Nia along with his mother and head nurse had polished their blades to the extent that their bodies shone with sharp desire to kill.

As for the rest, they were all also trained but to do different chores. Ray didn't waste a single chance to make use of the survivors and used most of them as manpower. In return, he would not use hem with food and safety while the soldiers who fought for him would evidently benefit more.

Ray had made it clear that whoever worked more will get more and if someone risked their lives for him and stayed loyal, they would get even more than that. Ray made sure to give out several rewards and this naturally made many of them happy and encouraged them to fight for him.

While the majority worked for their earn, there was also a small minority that didn't. These were the useless good for nothings who acted as leeches and didn't do a thing. Heck, they didn't even lift a finger.

"Hmph… what do they think? That someone would come and save them if they keep acting like this? Go throw them out, make an example out of them. If someone makes trouble, do as you see fit," Ray had given this command to all his subordinates and soon, the miscreants and leeches were gone.

As for the traitors, Ray had gotten rid of many of them. Even if they were smart, Ray was even smarter. Every now and then, he would send a team of people out to gather rations and hunt beasts in the forest and within the team, he would add several of those he knew of were traitors.

After that, he would send either Elina or Kashish to follow the team and break the traitors from the main team and finish the job. Though, not before interrogating the traitors and getting some information out of them.

By using this simple tactic, Ray had not only cleared out many of the traitors but also gained valuable information about other world and enemy faction on Earth that had possibly colluded with the other world.

Ray was sure that at least three major houses had colluded with other world and amongst them, the house Kent was the most occurring name. Not just scions but normal people hired by the house Kent were tasked with gaining information about other students and even though it looked normal, many were secretly turning those students to the other side by promising them gains and power.

Also, one point that perplexed Ray was their focus on house Jhonson. He had found out that many were tasked with the mission to either kill, harm or turn Nia Jhonson of the Jhonson to the other side.

Apparently, Nia had some information that other world factions needed and was of utmost importance.

"Well, I will talk to Nia about it. She seems to have opened up a lot more than before," Ray thought as he stood outside the mansion. Noticing several presences rising up and baring their fangs and the juicy looking food in front of them, Ray couldn't help but smirk at how easily he had fooled them.

"I sure am gonna be rich," Ray smiled eerily as he raised his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let the party begin,"

As his words fell, the walls of the mansion lit up as several cannons revealed their presence, baring their fangs at the predators that had just shown up.

"Fire if anyone advances forward," Those were the words before a harrowing experience began, not only for the survivors inside the mansion but more so for the beasts that had inadvertently fallen into a trap that none of them could even perceive of.
