Versatile System Online



"Ray," the head nurse called out. Her eyes were filled with energy as she started pulling out all of her power. Since she had recently evolved into the Celestial Realm, it was hard for her to get used to all the energy. Therefore, her body took some time to adapt to it.

"Yes," Ray turned back and answered. His whole body was covered in sweat while his hands were glued to the module. To keep the portals up and running, Ray was constantly providing them with his Void Elemental mana.

With Ray being already so weak, it took a lot from him to keep the teleportation bridge up and running.

"How much more time?" Ray asked as he was already on his limits and might not be able to keep the portals active for any longer.

"I have no idea. It's hard to suppress these portals from the opening while we can only let a few students pass through at a single time," the head nurse answered in a hurry as she kept on firing blasts of energy to suppress the new portals that were constantly opening up.

"Ray! A celestial ranked portal is opening up," Aurora's voice sounded as she informed him beforehand.

"Celestial Rank?" He blurted out in shock as he felt a visceral fear spread through his body. His hair stood at their ends while his constricted in fear. He already felt the urge to leave everything and run. 

After all, he was neither a fool nor a hero to care for everyone. He did everything with a plan in his head and he cared the most for his own life and the lives of his loved ones. However, he didn't run. He stayed and alerted the head nurse.

"A Celestial-Rank incoming," he warned her as he tried to keep injecting more Void Elemental mana into the module to keep the portals up and running. 

"What?" The head nurse asked in shock but before she could get an answer, a portal opened up. Right as this portal opened up, the other portals started closing while the already appeared trolls ran back to their respective portals. Even the trolls had a look of fear on their faces. The head nurse looked at all this and understood as she muttered, "So its a celestial after all," as she said this, she smiled.

"It's going to be a nice match-up," She said in a freaky voice. As she spoke, she raised her hands and then called out to her power. 

The thing was that every Celestial was deeply linked to the element they controlled and right now, the head nurse was calling out to her element, which was energy itself. Even though it was an ability, it still had an element. The only difference being that abilities were a bit different than affinity to a certain element.

The head nurse looked at the portal as she saw a man walking out of it. The man resembled a human to every fine detail. However, from what she could perceive, the man was anything but human. Only its body was humanoid as it had four eyes lined horizontally while it held two scimitars in it's hands and had not mouth. It's face was devoid of any emotions while its skin was pale and flaky as if it had been not in the sun for eons.

"Just what is this monstrosity?" Thought the head nurse as she readied herself.

Suddenly, a horizontal slit appeared below the man's nose as its head suddenly split apart. Looking at this, the head nurse frowned and readied herself for anything to happen while the man suddenly had a mouth with which he was smiling eerily and staring at the head nurse.

Suddenly, the man disappeared into a strange fog. Shocked, the head nurse raised her weapons in defense as she looked around to find any signs of the man but to her loss, it seemed as if the man had vanished completely.

"Above You!!!" Ray's shout reverberated in her ears as she glanced above her, only to find a scimitar being swung at her with full force.

"Hughh," Using all her strength, she twists her body at a weird angle as her torso faced the opposite of her legs. The head nurse raised her hands and released a burst of energy and used the momentum o get away. However, she was too late as the scimitar had already reached her,

"Squelch," The tip of the scimitar pierced her skin as it drew a thin line of blood from her arm. Looking at her arm, the head nurse realized that her energy armor was useless in front of the enemy weapon. She sighed and used her energy to heal her arm and then tried to think of a way to counter the enemy and it's weapons. Also, since the enemy was a Celestial; the hidden tricks up its sleeves were to be unimaginable and the head nurse would have to fight very carefully and cleverly.

"What do i do?" She thought to herself and then looked back at the spatial gate. Then she turned to Ray and looked at him. 

Ray looked at her eyes and understood what she meant. Using the telepathic connection, the head nurse asked, "What if you use the spatial bridge to kill this thing?" 

"How so?" Ray asked, confused over what she really meant.

"Let everyone evacuate and then as we cross the portal, we collapse the spatial bridge while this thing is still in there. This way, the spatial turbulence deals with it," the heads nurse explained amidst dodging the attacks.

"That's nothing less than a dangerous bet. Just one thing goes wrong and the whole plan fails. Leave the plan, we all could die," Ray said to her but eventually sighed as he gave in, "There doesn't seem to be another option. So we go with what you say," Ray said and started tweaking the module. 

While Ray worked on the module, the head nurse looked at the monster in front of her and tried to find some of it's weaknesses. 

"It's ultimately a troll. No matter how advanced it is or how much it has evolved, the basics never fail," she said to herself and crossed her hands together. Her eyes turned a yellowish hue as she muttered, 

[Energy Catalyzing:- Light],

Right as she did, the energy surrounding her changed as it took a yellowish glow. The energy turned into pure light as the head nurse glowed like an angel. Her hair also changed color and turned blonde as she looked like someone with a very strong light elemental user.

As good as this ability of her seemed, it had drawbacks as well. She could use this ability once a day and it also had a time limit of thirty minutes. Therefore, the head nurse had a maximum of thirty minutes to deal with the troll. 

The head nurse raised her hand and called out,

[Elemental Magic:- Light Elemental Spear],

A spear was created from the light elemental energy around her as she grabbed it tightly and kicked the ground as she turned into a yellowish blur. The monster looked at the change in the head nurse's approach and was amused, it looked at her coming at it with full strength as it also raised the scimitars in its hands and kicked the ground as well. 

Both of them were coming at each with full force and while they were doing so, a change took place. Another portal opened up as a troll walked out of it.

"Huh?" Ray snapped his head in the direction, his eyes were constricted while he felt goosebumps all over his body. This was another celestial and from what it felt like, this one was even more dangerous than the other one.

"Just what is happening?" Ray thought in fear as he tried to think of something but what could he think of? His mind was blank while the troll was constantly staring at him.

"Zhinngggg…" suddenly, the spatial bridge lit up a beam of light came out of it. The beam hit the troll squarely as it sent the troll flying into the wall.

"Mum?" Ray muttered in surprise as he saw a woman in an armor of light appear out of the portal. The woman looked like a spartan ready to fight as she released a frightening aura as if she was a beast. However, all that frightening aura vanished when the woman looked at Ray. All that was present was the aura of a mother and her love for her children.

"Ray, get out of here," His mother shouted as she raised her staff in front of her and swung it fiercely. She scattered into rays of light as she appeared above the troll and hit it right in its face.

"When did mum become a Celestial? And her element, when did it become light?" Ray's head was full of questions as he felt a headache coming at him.

He looked at the head nurse and saw her standing in her place, huffing and panting while her whole body was covered in blood. Beneath her feet was the corpse of that troll as she turned and looked at Ray.

"How did you defeat it?" Asked Ray in surprise. Just a few moments before, the head nurse was struggling to even dodge attacks but now she had already killed the troll.

"Light Speed," the head nurse muttered and then fell to the ground as her powers dissipated and she turned back to normal.

"Sighhhhhy," Ray exhaled sharply. The battles between Celestials were really something else. To the point that Ray couldn't even comprehend them.

With that, Ray turned to look at his mother, only to see her swinging her staff and thrashing the troll around.
