Versatile System Online

As the three beasts looked at one another, someone else stood there even more in shock and it was Ray. Currently, Ray's head was a mess as he couldn't believe it.

He had called Mag'ladroth and FengFeng for help in intimidating the beast but instead, the two consciousnesses found some friend of theirs and were now having a shocking reunion.

"Wait a minute. Is that thing the same as FengFeng and Mag'ladroth?" Ray thought and then slapped his forehead as he murmured, "Of course, its the same. Or else why would these big beasts talk to him?"

Thinking all this, Ray walked forward as he interrupted the three, "I know it must be so sweet to meet each other after all this time but I don't have all day and of course, i want an in on you guys. I don't mind your reunion or whatever but what I do mind is being left in the dark," Ray's words were harsh and cruel and listening to him speak, FengFeng smirked as she knew that Ray wasn't liking the situation one bit.

After all, who would like such a situation and as far as FengFeng knew, Ray didn't just not like the situation, he was furious at it and FengFeng understood his sentiment.

"Don't worry, we are done talking," FengFeng spoke as she turned around and walked abit farther alongside Ray.

"I know you are tense over the situation but believe me, its the best it can be," She told him, sharing a mind link with him as images started to flash in front of Ray's eyes.

A few short minutes later, Ray was awoken out of his stupor. His body was riddled with sweat as fear tingled all over his spine.

"It was him?" Ray asked, a bit baffled that the beast he had been angry at was exactly the ancient beast that Aurora had told him about but there was one thing. It was one thing when being about it and another when he saw it with his own eyes and given the visions FengFeng had shared with him, Ray was just shocked to the point that he had to take a few moment to calm down.

However, he still didn't get one thing, "How do you guys know it?"

"Well, it's simple. He was the mount of our previous leader when we were on Earth. After that, he stayed on Earth while the leader and us all went out into the cosmos," FengFeng's answer was clear and all but there was one more thing that he wanted to know of,

"How is he here now?" He asked.

"Well, he should thank you," FengFeng answered with a smile.

"Me? Why?" Ray asked, even more confused as FengFeng looked at him and said, "Your blood,"

"Ohh" It was then that it hit Ray. He was contracting the beast and for that he had dropped his blood on it and it was after it that everything had happened.

"It recognized the blood and the dormant consciousness in the bloodline was awakened," Ray muttered to himself as he just shook his head and walked back to the center.

Looking at the newcomer, he just nodded his head at it. They weren't friends even if it was once the mount of his predecessor and a friend of FengFeng and Mag'ladroth. For Ray, it was any other consciousness and right now, he had other things to do.

The one named Ashta looked back at Ray, a glint gleaming across it eyes but it said nothing and simply nodded. Looking at Mag'ladroth and FengFeng, they both bid farewell to their friend and went inside Ray's consciousness while Ray himself appeared on the battlefield.

"Phew… Finally out," Ray thought to himself and looked around as he saw that the first wave had been repelled successfully and from the looks of it, Sirius had certainly played a big part in doing so.

The man was currently surrounded by a group of students as they all thanked him heartily and from the looks on Sirius's face, it was clear as day that Ray had no idea about these people.

He had probably went in on a killing spree and killed any beast that had come in front of his eyes but that didn't stop him from taking praise. After all, if someone wanted to praise him ,Sirius wont be a fool to shy away from the spotlight. Not that he liked it but he knew that it had certain benefits.

Looking around the battlefield, Ray searched for the head nurse and found her in the camp. Healing the injured and preparing for the next wave, the head nurse would have been overwhelmed if not for her daily practice at the infirmary. She was used to handling multiple patients at once but it didn't mean that she wouldn't get tired out and with the news Ray was coming at her, he was sure that she would probably faint from shock.

Walking into the head nurse's office, Ray looked at her and waited for her to get free. It took a few minutes for the head nurse to have enough time on her plate to be able to talk to him but Ray didnt mind. He understood the situation well and preferred that more people be treated for preparation of the next phase.

"Yes Ray, what do you need?" She asked in hurry, still circulating her mana as it nourished the injured nearest to her.

"Im here to tell you about the plan i have," Ray replied.

"Oh do so. I can sure use some strategic help," She answered, a light coming to her eyes as Ray guessed that the head nurse was probably backed by the wall to the point that even the prospect

of a plan brought her some hope.

"So its like this…" Ray said as he started to tell her of his plan and what he ahd done so far along with his team.

Listening to his story, the head nurse had her face changing color faster than a chameleon, as her expression dried out more and more.

After Ray was done, the head nurse couldn't take it anymore as she simply fell her world spin around her. Seeing the situation, Ray conjured a chair and placed it behind the head nurse as she fell on the chair with a thud.

A few moment after she calmed down, the head nurse looked up at him and asked, "You sure you can do it?"

"Yes, I am sure of my plan," He answered with certainty. After all, he was sure of himself. He had done so much from the start and was halfway through his plan and for Ray, he didn't plan on backing down. Not now, not ever.

"Okay, go on but lemme tell you one thing. If you fail, I will make sure to prioritize the safety of others over yours. It's your own choice," Her words seemed uncaring and selfish but Ray knew. He knew that compared to a few people, the ones who had followed him to this hellish place for him and Ray knew. He knew that if the head nurse ever saved him or any of his teammates and sacrificed the others for them, they wont be able to live with it ever.

"Don't worry, I will be fine and if i need some help. I have already called for it," Saying those words, Ray walked out of the tent, a smile hung upon his face as he knew that it was time. Time to go on and teach that damn tree a lesson.

As he walked across the battlefield, the others prepared for the next wave. It was certain that the new wave would be here any minute now but that wasn't Ray's concern right now. He had his plan and he believed in it.

A few meters away from him, Sirius was seated on a rock. Shadows covered him fully as he seemed to be thinking about something. Approaching him, Ray looked at his friend and raised his hand to him.

Sirius looked up, seeing his friends arm reaching out to him, he smiled as he grabbed the hand and stood up.

"Ready?" Ray asked.

"As always," Sirius replied as he controlled the shadows and they disappeared. He appeared a few meters away from the battlefield where they found Tim and Elina standing together, waiting for them and with them was another visitor.

Seeing the women with them, Ray's face turned bright as he called out to her, "Mum!!"

Hugging his mother, he looked at the small yellowish light blinking around her, a curiosity in his eyes as he felt that he had seen it somewhere but couldn't point out where.

However, he left it be and then turned to Tim and Elina. Thanking them both for their help, he explained them the plan once again as his mother also listened in.

"Okay, the plan is good but I wont go ahead and charge at it from the start. You should be aware of the fact that after one reaches the Calamity Realm, it becomes hard for us to hide our presence and if i charge ahead. The tree would be alarmed and it would sabotage your plan. So i will stay in back up and attack the tree when it expects it the least,"
