Versatile System Online



"Huh?" Hearing what Kid had said unsettled Reggie even more. In the short amount of time he had in his hands, he had made peace with himself and was ready to die but the monster in front of him; the very monster who had humiliated him and defeated him in such a way that it left him not only on the doors of death but with utter despair.

However that very same monster had just given him hope. Hope to live and to see the dawn once again but as his erratic thoughts scattered themselves on the matter, he realized one thing. The monster wasn't some benevolent soul from within and he hadn't let him live out of his heart, it was his strength that had pleased the monster and earned him the monster's respect and hence, Reggie's case now rested in hands of someone else.

Someone who was the leader of this monster. Just thinking of it made Reggie shiver; just what would be the strength of the man who had become the leader of such a strong being. Probably someone legendary.

Soon, Reggie's eyes became droopy. The exhaustion took over him as Reggie fell to the floor due to the exhaustion from the fight and the mana abuse he had subjected himself to. His condition wasn't any good but Kid knew that he would live and didn't need any medical attention. Also, who knew if given medical attention, the guy might lash out and attack again. Hence, Kid strengthened the ice prison and left Reggie be.

Kid's transformation ended as he turned back to his human self. His eyes turned black to their normal color while his jaws and nose Alison returned to normal. With a stagger in his step, Kid walked to the infirmary. Even though the blood of a Yeti flowed in his veins, he didn't far well against fire and especially not against the strange type of aura he had been attacked with. Therefore, he walked to get himself treated and while he did, the battles unfolding around them had reached their end. With the humans becoming victors and many of the elves being captured or spared alive yet too injured to leave.

As for the battles against beasts, they were ongoing. It seemed that the beasts had retreated and that the humans had gotten a few moment of reprieve.

"Where is Ray?" Kid thought, "It's not like him to be absent from the battlefield for long," thinking all this, he reached the infirmary where Aliya had taken the lead and was healing the injured.

As for whom she was healing, it was Nia who lay on the stretcher, her body wounded to the extent while her skin pale as that of a corpse. Tim stood besides her and so did Noah as they both looked Nia with uncertainty in their eyes.

Kid decided to stay behind and observe everything. Even though he didn't know much about the girl who lay injured, he knew enough that she was an integral part of their and a friend to their leader. Therefore, if something happened to her; it would be a loss hard to recover from.

"How are you doing," Feeling a hand on his shoulder, he heard Sirius speak to him. Turning around, Kid saw Sirius. The man looked at him emotionlessly but Kid knew that it was normal. It was how Sirius was, not displaying any emotions and being as serious as he could.

"Guess its the effect of his name," Kid thought and nodded at Sirius, showing him that he was fine and just tired.

Kid was just about to ask when Sirius spoke again, "Ray isn't here. He is fine but he will take time to reach us,"

Hearing that, Kid nodded and took a seat to the side. He accessed his dimensional storage and took out a couple of potions and started to slowly gulp them down. Soon, the weariness from the battle was gone and his wounds were healed but that strange wound from the elf hadn't. It seemed as if the wound was still alive, weakened but alive and this slowed down the recovery process by a good margin.

Kid didn't mind, he had gained a lot during his battle. His mind had opened up to many new possibilities during the battle while his control over his ability had increased exponentially. Right now, Kid was on the verge of a breakthrough. He had been in the starting tiers of the Magical Realm for a long time now and with this breakthrough, he would finally reach the intermediate tiers of the Magical Realm.

Some time later,

Aliyah stopped her healing and sighed. Her body was drenched in sweat as she took a few steps back. Suddenly her feet staggered as she stumbled backwards, falling back; her vision darkened while her head felt light, "You should rest," Feeling a pair of arms around her shoulders, she heard Sirius speak as he held her tightly and let her stand up on her feet slowly. Allowing her to have a few potions, her face regained some color as Aliyah spoke, "Nia will be fine but she won't be able to do anything much and will need to rest for a week or two," Saying those words, Aliyah walked to a bench with Sirius's help and sat down. Sirius helped her have another potion as she took a deep breathe and closed her eyes to rest.

As Sirius turned around, he noticed some strange stares from Tim and Noah,

"What?" Asked Sirius, annoyed by the way they were staring at him.

"Nothing much, just thinking how long the stew has been cooking for,"

"What do you mean by that?" Sirius asked back, even more annoyed by their attitude and cryptic choice of words.

"What he means by that is are you two? You know," Tim cheekily asked, only to get a slap in return, "Say another word and you will know how dangerous a shadow wolf is," With those words, Sirius walked out of the infirmary while Kid only shook his head as he saw Tim and Noah's childish act.

"Man, Ray really keeps them together," Kid thought as he also closed his eyes for a quick rest.

Meanwhile,

The battlefield against the beasts was calm. A few skirmishes here and there played out in certain intervals but other than that, everything was quite slow. The head nurse stood inside a camp as she looked at everything going on.

The beasts had suddenly become placid and calmed down way too much. She had always thought that something fishy was going on in the forest and hence sent some of the best spies at hand, including a girl whose talent she found about recently. The girl was with her team when a few beasts attacked her and it was only due to the girl's ability and exceptional on spot thinking that her team was able to return safely while their captain only suffered a few minor injuries.

Some time later, near to the end of the day; the group of spies she had sent out in the forest returned,

"Report," The head nurse asked as she looked at the spies and studied their expressions. Just from the way the spies acted, it was clear that she was right and there was something fishy going on in the forest but only further report from the spies would allow her to have a hold of complete information.

"Yes ma'am," Kim stepped forward as she saluted the head nurse and started with the report, "We followed the beasts that had retreated within the forests and by following them, we discovered the beasts congregating around a single area in the forest and not just that but it seems that the beasts are being controlled or commanded by something or someone as they are acting differently from their nature,"

"What do you mean by acting differently?" Asked the head nurse.

"They are acting in pairs and not just those of the same kind but different types of beasts are acting in pairs and mixing their advantages to form teams," Another spy spoke as he seemed to shudder at the idea of different types of beasts working together to take them down.

"Anything else?" The head nurse asked.

"Yes ma'am, the area that the beasts are going into is deeper into the core of the forest where scarier and stronger beasts reside. We followed them as far as we could without our cover being blown as multiple beasts had also been there as guards to check for any intruders," Kim answered while she kept her head down.

She knew that the situation was turning worse every second but she believed in her superiors and with the new position she had been given recently, she was resolute on keeping her position and doing everything help her fellow humans and make something good out of this new apocalyptic life she had been thrust into.
