My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

Dan's hand touched the traps, as they… disappeared out of thin air!

Dan had already realized it before he did this, but he didn't knew if it could exactly work with Trap Magic conjured by a person and not the one, he found in hideouts, labyrinths, and other places, which was where he used this ability the most.

He had gambled on it, risking revealing his position and getting targeted by dozens of holy light arrows. He didn't knew if it could truly work, he had never meet someone that was actually able to conjure Trap Magic as if it were just a simple spell, as normal as a fire magic conjuring a fireball!

Why was this? Well, because Trap Magic was incredibly intricate formations of runes, only the best magicians could ever conjure them in their hideouts or dungeons, and they usually took a lot of resources and time to be made! Trap Magic as a whole wasn't composed of spells because it was the art of crafting and constructing traps out magic and magic materials…

But someone with the power to just conjure them like mere spells? That was unheard of in this planet! The reason why was simple, Dungeons like those in Terra did not exist in Earth. Dungeons in here were massive areas filled with wilderness and monsters, and even if there were some more fantasy-like dungeons with walls, labyrinths, and "Traps" such traps were physical objects and incredibly easy to evade, just old-made artifacts without any magic.

There was no concept such as Trap Magic to the extent of Terra's world, where Dungeons had Cores and were alive, and they used the energy they extracted to make up Traps emerge out of thin air through their System-like functions.

Therefore, Dan had no idea that this was possible, and therefore, didn't thought it could work to dispel a trap magic made by a person.

But it worked wonderfully, and he saved Gustavo from the deadly and cheeky traps of Orb!

Orb looked back at Dan while calmly squinting her eyes.

Gustavo was still mildly weakened; his regeneration speed was slowed down because Orb carried powerful curses into her traps that were specifically crafted by her and added as "traits" into the traps. She knew about Vampire's vicious regeneration speed, which was a pain to deal with, so she had made up this beforehand. Each hit that Gustavo received weakened him through strong curses that not even his power could detach!

But why? If it could destroy diseases, and even other curses, why not her curses? Well, this was also because his power didn't had the power to dispel the strange physical nature of traps, which were not truly magic and were just physical objects. His power could destroy physical objects but not to a subatomic level like he could do to magic itself… these curses became a physical property of these traps which he could not dispel, therefore, they affected him even with his power negating such similar powers!

Of course, this wasn't persisting, his power was slowly eating the curses away, but for the few minutes to come, his regeneration was slowed down and the old man was weakened with many muscles torn apart, and bones broken.

This was the perfect opportunity to strike once more! Dan was right there, Orb could see him!

"Kamei, cover me, I am going outside. My Dungeon Domain can only get so far, and he seems to be able to sense its range." Said Orb.

"Orb… Fine!" Kamei nodded, as she bathed Orb with several protection spells, as if she had an invisible armor of light around her body!

FLASH!

The gates of the fortress opened as Orb, a little princess-like girl rushed with incredibly physical fitness and speed towards Dan and Gustavo!

"I'll finish you off!" she thought, her eyes flashed with conviction as Dan looked at her and smiled back.

"Wait here old man!" said Dan, jumping to confront Orb!

"Not a step further girl. I am a master of illusions. You don't want to get closer." Said Dan.

"I don't have to." Said Orb, she raised a finger as a massive magic circle emerged below Dan and the power of gravity hit him, throwing him down!

"Ungh?!"

BOOOM!

However, he quickly dispelled it using Disable Trap!

FLASH!

However, those slight seconds that he gave to Orb were enough for her to conjure four more Traps which his hands could not properly reach!

A massive log hit him in the head, a gargoyle trap bathed him with flames, and a guillotine cut off his legs, while a massive boulder fell over him and crushed him, making him vomit blood!

BOOM! CLASH! CRASH! BOOM!

"Uuaaaaggghhh…!"

Dan cried in agony as Orb smiled!

"Maybe you can dispel my traps but you're not fast enough to do it continuously!" she said triumphantly!

"Didn't I told you I was a master of illusions?"

"Huh?!"

Shock!

Orb suddenly heard the voice of Dan… behind her!

Right at the side of her ears, the whisper even creeped her out and made her instinctively move back!

She saw Dan standing there!

She looked back at the other Dan, as he suddenly turned into mist and dissipated…

What was this?!

"Impressed? This is the power of my illusions and… I won't go into more details. I hate when the characters reveal their abilities!" laughed Dan, rushing towards Orb at an incredible speed, as eh summoned two black daggers flashing with phantasmal presence, he was incredibly fast too, like a flash of red color, he reached her in an instant and bathed her with slashing attacks!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

The slashing attacks of Dan reached Orb as she protected herself with her arms, the armor of Kamei defended her from the slashing attacks quite amazingly, but the piercing power still pierced the armor and sliced through Orbs skin and muscles!

However… he only saw bright yellow wounds which only released a bit of sparkling light and then closed.

"No blood?!" asked Dan in surprise, as Orb smiled back!

"Heh, did you think I was a defenseless girl besides my Traps?!" asked Orb, as her fist suddenly hit Dan's stomach!

BOOOM!!!

"Uaghh…!"

Dan vomited a mouthful of blood!
