Versatile System Online

Chapter 91 Critically Wounded

"Let's go, We need to find Elina and Tim", Ray said in a hurry as he observed his surroundings for any signs of the two siblings.

"Let me try", Emma said as she stepped forward and used her system to search for their aura.

Emma searched for a while before she closed her eyes, when she opened them again, the blueish hue was gone and her pupils were back to normal.

"Did you find them?", Ray asked in worry as the battle was raging on ever so fiercely.

"I can sense something much deeper in the forest, but it's very faint. I say we hurry before something wrong happens", Emma answered with a frown on her face.

Listening to her, Ray nodded and said with a solemn expression,

"Okay everyone, we move at once. Aliya, take this potion and restore your mana as we are going to need your help the most",

Ray handed Aliya a mana potion and turned to Noah as he spoke,

"Noah, be in the middle and use your spirit energy to take out any stray attacks and also defend everyone's consciousness from spiritual attacks by forming a barrier using your spirit energy",

Noah nodded firmly and prepared his mindset for the upcoming battle.

With that, Ray addressed everyone as a whole as he spoke,

"I will be taking up the front and clear the way, make sure to follow me and be fast on your steps. We can't afford to lose any more time, let's go!",

With that said, Ray activated his system to the fullest as he used all the abilities he had.

Using his,

[Strength Enhancement Ability],

[Speed Enhancement Ability],

And the barrier type ability to form a combination by using them all at once.

As Ray activated his abilities, he felt power coursing through his body. Such power that even Ray's body couldn't handle for more than an hour before suffering from any serious repercussions.

Feeling the strength coursing through, Ray rushed forward as he punched a wolf right in his face. Taking him out cold.

Seeing this, Tim and the others were left in shock as this was their first time witnessing someone with an affinity-based system showing this much strength and speed as only someone with those abilities could have it.

Little did they know, that Ray had it all. A system that allowed him to have not only magical powers of all types but also different abilities, beast souls, and whatsoever.

However, seeing the spectacle, Tim and the others didn't get distracted. Rather, it served as a form of encouragement to help them move forward and improve themselves.

With that, they too took off behind Ray and followed him as he looked everyone out from a single attack.

After a perilous journey that alternated from defending to attacking, everyone reached the dense foliage of trees.

Slowing down, Ray motioned everyone to keep silent while also signaling Emma to do her work,

Nodding, Emma used her system as her pupils changed and gained a blueish hue.

After a few moments,

Emma opened her eyes as they got back to normal she pointed in a direction with a horrified expression.

Looking at her devastated expression and pale face, Ray asked as he bombarded her with a magnitude of questions,

"Emma, What happened? Tell me. Where are they? Did you find anything?",

On the other hand, Emma didn't answer as she just kept on pointing forward towards a dense bush.

'Rustle.. Rustle',

While Emma pointed towards the bush, rustling sounds came from behind.

"Who is it?", Tim said as he turned around in a hurry and looked everywhere,

Getting no response, Tim started to get agitated. Just as he was about to lash again, Ray put a hand on his shoulder as he spoke,

"Don't, I know what is happening there, I will take care of it. You all go look where Emma is pointing. Remember, don't let your guard down",

With that said, Ray slowly moved towards the place from where the rustling sound kept on coming.

As Ray moved, he churned his mana as he used his magical affinities.

Doing so, lightning started to snake around his hand as it condensed into a ball as he muttered slowly,

[Lightning Ball],

After that, Ray threw the ball of lightning forward as if throwing a baseball,

The ball flew forward and hit the bush,

"Awoooo",

A high-pitched howl sounded as a figure slowly emerged from the bush. The figure stood tall a height of 3 meters while its eyes glowed blue. It had dirty brown fur all over its body while its well-defined muscles wouldn't go unnoticed.

As the figure stood up, its snout opened as it showed a row full of teeth with their canines fully visible while blood dripped from their teeth and pieces of flesh stuck in between them.

All this led to the figure's appearance being more hideous and disturbing.

Meanwhile, seeing the figure. Ray spoke,

"To think I would meet an Omega. That too over here, also front the color of your eyes, it seems that you recently took an innocent's life",

In response to Ray's words, the werewolf only growled in response.

"Oh! So you are one of those outcomes who survived the process but didn't go under their control. So now, your human consciousness is nothing but dead and you are but a beast that I can't allow to live. Not in this world anyways", Ray replied as he heard the wolf growling in response to his words.

With that said, Ray took out his beast soul sword as he took a fighting stance.

Not only that, but he also equipped his armor-type beast soul for better protection and activated his barrier-type ability.

On the other hand, the Omega also understood Ray's intentions as its claws started to enlarge and it readied itself for battle.

Meanwhile,

Emma led Aliya and Noah to the bush where she previously pointed out. Her expression turned worse by the second.

"Over here", Emma spoke in a low voice as they reached the bush.

Seeing this, Aliya took a step forward and hesitated whether to go forward or not. As Aliya was hesitating on whether to go or not, Noah stepped forward and stepped into the bushes.

Only to find something clearly beyond his reach, seeing the scene in front of him, Noah hurriedly ran forward.

On the other hand, seeing Noah act so strangely. Aliya also rushed forward, followed shortly by Emma.

What they saw left them stunned as they felt as if their soul left their body.

Over there, they saw a bloodied Elina with wounds all over their body holding onto a severely wounded Tim as Tim lay on her lap lifelessly. With shallow breaths and a pale face.

Tim had a gaping hole in his stomach as his right shoulder was also severely wounded. Though that wasn't the worst of it as his left hand was completely ripped out while blood gushed out of it while his face had a deep gash that went down to his neck.

Looking at all this, Aliya almost fainted but she kept herself strong as she steeled her resolve and spoke,

"Noah, use your spirit energy to put a barrier and stop the bleeding on Tim while Emma, please lay him down on a patch of grass. If we want him to live, we need to hurry", she said. She gulped down the mana potion Ray had given her.

Meanwhile, Noah and Emma nodded as they got to work.

While all of this happened, Elina's eyelids twitched open as she noticed the disturbance. Upon seeing her teammates there for her, her expression relaxed as she smiled.

Seeing Elina coming back to consciousness, Aliya smiled at her as she spoke,

"Don't worry about it. We will heal you, I won't be letting any of you die. Not now to say the least",

Listening to Aliya, Elina didn't say much and closed her eyes lightly as she knew she was in good hands.
