Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 596 The Spire (Part 1 Out Of 4)

In the past timeline, the spire is crawling with monsters and the scourge has already taken over that it would look disgusting just from its figure alone. Since the situation from the past timeline didn't occur at best, I am not dealing with monsters this time around but angels who are still sane and have the knowledge to fight back, unlike monsters who just move on their instincts.

I looked up at the spire. It looks like it was made of bones of several creatures but when you look at it closely, it was just made of metal and different kinds of rocks. It just looked like that because of the wear and tear. Perhaps the spire is something that has been existing since ancient times and it doesn't look like this in the very first place.

Before entering the spire, my mind tried to picture if I can just climb the spire without entering and just climb it up using a rope and also the Hook and Chain to act as a grappling hook and add the ability to fly to reach a higher place sounds possible but I soon abandoned the idea of doing it as it is much riskier for me to get shot by the magic of the cult members and even if I try to fly away, compared to me who is not a real angel, they will immediately be able to chase me down. So why bother with this method when you can just go and enter the spire, wreck everyone and leave like a chad? That would be the better option for me in my opinion.

I made sure the Dark Core won't fall with me running around before I entered the spire. Just like before, the spire is dark and cold in the entrance. It was like entering a dark cave that has yet to be explored by people or anyone who knows their way in navigating caves.

The only difference is that the spire looks more like a small institute of a magic hall that is usually present in many novels and anime that I have seen in the past especially those that involves magic academies. This was ruined in the past timeline due to the scourge so I didn't know that this place would look much better without the scourge.

However, I have no time to admire the interior of the building when the enemies are all around me, I am also guessing that they already are alerted of my presence especially during the first chase scene earlier. With the amount of incoming monsters, everyone must have already been aware that I am already going inside the spire.

Entering the main hallway on the first floor, I immediately triggered a magic circle. A trap made with magic.

"BREAK!"

My reaction the moment the magic circle activated is to cancel it out. Shouting "Break" while a spell is being cast will count as the activation key word to the skill, [Magic Jammer]. Due to that, the magic circle breaks to pieces and shattered like it was made of glass. That caused the hiding magicians nearby to pop up.

"F*CK! The magic circle failed! Attack him at once before he realize it!"

They then released multiple condensed magic bullets to my direction. They are not that fast so evading them are easy enough for me to handle. Tumbling down the hallway then surprising them with a double handgun form of the Versatile Weapon allowed me to surprise them and kill them before they can attack me.

I didn't wait for them to immediately recover. It's obvious of who is the main winner here between those who needed to wait a few seconds to reload their magic power versus someone who can fire it continuously for a few rounds and with the Versatile Weapon, charging it with mana a little bit and bullets will already materialize, allowing me to fight without the need to reload the gun for bullets.

The angels who ambushed me on the first floor are annihilated due to this tactic. I made sure to look around for any potential enemies hiding in plain sight before leaving after making sure that no one else are left behind to ambush me while I am climbing up the spire. Looking up of the spire, this is going to be a very long climb.

Alright. Now that I have gotten rid of the hostile angels on the ground floor and nothing else were left behind, time to check the second floor of the spire. Why am I bothering on killing them if I can just go straight to the boss? The main reason for that is because, this boss uses the life of its followers to get stronger. That's the main purpose of the scourge he is releasing and making the cult spread it out allows him to absorb energies from his followers no matter what place and time they were in.

So if all of his followers are dead, doesn't that mean all of his food reserves are now gone and done?

Every step of the stairs of the spire looks like it was not cleaned for a long time due to the blood stains retaining on the floor like some dried ketchup. These guys might be angels and have yet to be corrupted by the Scourge that the dark lord they worship brings but that doesn't mean they are not evil and not guilty. It only makes them more evil than those who look evil already. Having a figure of being a holy being, only to be a monster in an angel's clothing.

My arrival on the 2nd floor, I am immediately welcomed by multiple magic attacks that are devastating enough on anyone who willingly catches them. It is clear that they are keen in getting rid of me.

"You guys have come prepared but it seems your preparedness seems to be lacking in terms of impact, I would say."

"Don't let him do anything! Kill him and bring honor to our god by vanquishing the evil that threatens our religion!"

After hearing their proclamation, I slowly grinned. Evil my *ss, if I am evil, then I will make sure to use that evil to devour the evil of this world and cleanse it from the darkness hiding inside.
