Versatile System Online

Dungeon Instance,

Ray along with his whole team stood in front of a huge gate that was about 9 feet tall and wide enough for five people to pass through at one time.

“I guess this is it. This is where we will be facing the mini-boss of the dungeon,” Ray spoke, his voice calm and his face expressionless as he continued,

“Though, before venturing forward, I want to check something,” Saying this, Ray turned back and looked at Emma as he asked her,

“Could you use your system and give me a report of what is happening beyond that door,”

“Un,” Emma nodded, her eyes resolute as she used her system to sense the aura of those on the other side of the gate. Her pupils took a blueish hue as the same blueish hue converged around her whole body.

After a few moments, Emma’s pupils turned back to normal as she spoke,

“I can sense ten presences in total. Out of which, four are at the same stage as pseudo-advanced tier beasts while one is at the pseudo-peak/perfection tier. Meanwhile, all the others are at the same stage as intermediate-tier beasts,”

“Okay, we can handle them. Though, we will have to be careful since we don’t know what type of magic they use. Therefore, be alert at all times, and no need to hold back. We need to finish this dungeon as fast as we can,” Ray said calmly. His calm and cool attitude reassured his teammates as they didn’t notice one thing all this time.

None of his teammates noticed one crucial detail and that was the opponents getting more and more stronger and reaching the limits of the Mortal Realm while still being small fries.

After all, it was just the fifth floor and the boss on this floor was an opponent at the pseudo-perfection tier. So one would surely think that if the boss on the fifth floor was at such a high tier, the final boss would have surely crossed the bounds of the Mortal Realm and would have entered the Magical Realm.

That is why Ray had asked everyone to be as fast as they could because no one knew what would happen next and with the speed at which the dungeon was evolving, it wouldn’t be long before the enemies would get so strong they would be impossible to defeat, even for Ray.

“Everyone, let’s move forward,” Ray shouted in encouragement, his voice not too loud but audible enough for everyone to hear and have their spirits lifted.

Saying this, Ray unsheathed his sword and opened the door to the boss room.

“Creaaaak,”

The door creaks as it opens slowly, a dim light passing through it as the whole scene slowly unfolds in front of everyone.

Ray and the others stood rooted to their places as they saw the scene in front of them. They saw the whole boss room covered in darkness as a strange silhouette stood in the middle of the room.

Behind the silhouette stood four more silhouettes. Though, they were wearing priest robes while five goblins kneeled on the ground.

Suddenly, the silhouette standing in the middle looked at Ray and the others. His gaze was so fierce, that it sent chills down their spines.

With their backs drenched in sweat, the whole team quivered as fear started taking over them.

Seeing that things were getting out of control, Ray moved as he used his spell,

[Fire Ball]

Throwing multiple fireballs, he aimed them right in front of his teammates.

“Boom”

The fireballs made contact with the ground as they exploded. The impact pulled everyone back from the illusion they had fallen into.

Pulled back from the illusion, the whole team looked forward as the scenario changed. The dark hall was gone and an eerie-looking goblin stood in the middle of the hall.

“Dammit! To think that I would fall in such an illusion,” Tim cried out in frustration as he summoned his shield in a bid to rush ahead and smash the goblin to its death.

However, Elina held his arm as she spoke,

“You are no match for it. Let Ray deal with the goblin. We will take care of its lackeys,”

On the other hand, Ray turned back as he made eye contact with Sirius. Understanding what Ray meant, Sirius nodded his head as he turned to everyone and spoke,

“Listen all of you, our captain will be fighting the floor boss while we will aid him by taking care of the lackeys before rushing to his support. So let’s clear the area and let our captain have some fun,”

“Okay, Let’s take down those smelly lackeys,” Kid said enthusiastically as he held a dagger made of ice

Everyone else nodded in agreement as they also readied their spells and weapons. With that, the team was divided into two parts. One part went ahead and fought against the lackeys while in the other part, Ray stood alone as he faced the floor boss.

Looking at the floor boss standing motionlessly, Ray took the time as he asked Aurora to analyze the floor boss.

“Okay, on it,” Aurora answered as she started analyzing the floor boss.

Reading the information that popped up in front of him, Ray smirked as he spoke,

“You seem to have found your nemesis,”

Saying this, Ray kicked the ground as he jumped in the air and infused his sword with lightning magic. Sparks crackled around his sword as a strange heat engulfed Ray’s body, boosting his stats by a small margin.

With that, Ray swung his sword while still in the air as he unleashed an arc of lightning that traveled forward until it hit the goblin lord that stood rooted to its spot.

“Poof”

The goblin lord dissipated into the air as black smoke remained.

Seeing this, a frown replaced the smirk on Ray’s face as he muttered,

“Clone magic”

Suddenly, Ray’s senses screamed as he felt mortal danger. Turning around, he saw a fierce arc of darkness closing in on him.

With no time left to dodge, Ray infused more mana into his sword as he placed his sword in front of him and used it to block the attack.

“Bang… Boom… Splatt,”

Blocking the attack, Ray was sent flying backwards as the attack’s momentum threw his back. Crashing into a wall, Ray slowly stood up as blood leaked from the corner of his lips.

Spitting the blood, Ray felt his internal organs scream in pain as the impact caused by the momentum from the attack shook his internal organs.

Standing up, Ray wiped the blood as he looked at the Goblin Lord and grinned,

“This will be a fun fight,” He spoke as he sheathed his sword and infused his magic into his fist. Both of his fists lit up as magic covered them. One fist got covered in lightning while the other got covered in fire.

With that, Ray ran forward in an attempt to engage with the goblin in melee combat. However, just as Ray reached the goblin, it disappeared in thin air and only blackish smoke remained.

Ray looked around and saw the goblin standing to his left. Seeing this, he continued with his strategy as he approached the goblin. However, the goblin disappeared into thin air just as Ray reached it.

Ray turned around once more and then went on with the same tactic. However, it ended in failure, and not only that but all the attacks Ray tried afterwards also ended in failure as the goblin disappeared the moment any attack reached it.

Frustrated, Ray asked Aurora,

“Aurora, what kind of broken ability is it? Why can’t I find the real goblin?”

“The goblin is confusing you. Try using your fire magic and light up the whole area around you,” Aurora answered.

“Okay” Ray nodded as he complied with her suggestion and used his fire magic to fire up his surroundings.

The whole area got affected by his fire as flames engulfed while the temperature of the surroundings rose exponentially.

As the flame engulfed the area around him, a shrill scream sounded right besides Ray,

“Kreeeeeee”

His ears quivered as he tilted his head and dodged. Doing a backflip, Ray put some distance between his attacker as the goblin finally showed itself.

Looking at the goblin, Ray stood up and smiled,

“Let’s have fun with, shall we?” Ray said with an eerie grin on his face as his blood pumped in excitement.
