Versatile System Online

"I see them. A total of eight people",

"And the wolves? How many are there?", Ray asked as he sat on top of a tree.

"Only one, and that wolf doesn't seem to be in a good condition. From his aura, it seems as if he would erupt at any moment. It's too unstable", Emma replied in tandem while also concentrating to keep a check on the wolf's aura to avoid any mishap.

"And it's getting worse, his aura is getting more unstable by the moment", She spoke with urgency.

"Okay everyone, time for plan 2. I will trap them using a lightning net, you all focus on taking down the others. Leave the wolf alone", Ray gave commands as he knew that the wolf was very close to losing his sanity and giving into his bestial side.

That's how Aurora had told him, that most system users who transformed into different beasts had a bestial side to them that came out in rare circumstances.

Circumstances where life and death are unknown and the person is left with nothing. Though they get great power by giving into their bestial side, it brings with it many harmful effects that could alter the person's behavior to a certain extent too.

Ray circulated the mana stored within his mana core and guided it towards his right hand in form of lightning. The lightning snaked around his arm as it gathered in the palm of his hand.

As the lightning reached the palm of his hand, Ray closed his hand into a fist, allowing the lightning to cover his hand in form of an interwoven glove.

Extending his index finger, Ray pointed forward and released a thick bolt of lightning that transformed into a web mid-air. Ray did it a few more times and only stopped after he shot six more lightning bolts, all similar to the first one.

The lightning bolts took a few seconds to hit their targets as a result, immobilizing them completely as the web covered their whole body and restricted their every moment.

Though that wasn't the best part of it as a few seconds later, on Ray's command the lightning webs glowed briefly before they started to shock those captured within them. Letting them have an experience of a lifetime, as they felt firsthand how it feels to get shocked at a current of 660 volts.

Right after the shock therapy started, everyone else arrived and did their jobs as they were asked to and incapacitated all of those captured.

With that done, everyone looked towards the person they came for, The Wolf.

Though, the wolf wasn't having a great time himself as he constantly held his head in anguish and alternated between his human form and bestial form.

"Ray, shock him. If you delay it any further he would give in and transform and even if you are able to knock him afterwards, it wouldn't matter as his body would be damaged irreversibly", Aurora spoke in urgency as she urged Ray to hurry so as not to let the situation turn messy.

Listening to what Aurora had to say, Ray didn't hesitate and signaled everyone to step back.

Meanwhile, he approached the struggling wolf. Reaching the wolf, he extended his hand that had lightning snaking around it and sent out a very thick bolt of lightning and shocking him enough to make him lose consciousness.

"Thudd", the wolf fell to the floor with a thud while everyone sighed in relief.

"I need a break", Aliya said as she dusted her hands and turned to walk towards the cafeteria.

"Yeah me too, all that running around has my legs aching", Elina spoke as she stretched her legs a bit to relieve the pain but her expression told her that it wasn't working as the look on her face only worsened.

"Yeah man, my arms ache too. Some of these guys are very heavy despite how thin they look. Now I understand why they say not to judge a book by its cover. I wonder what they eat to be so heavy yet so thin", Tim spoke as he also showed his willingness for his break.

Emma also nodded to show her willingness while Noah remained silent with his head down. He had been like it the whole night, only following orders and being silent.

On the other hand, Ray sighed upon seeing everyone ask for a break not to mention Aliya already being on her way to the cafeteria.

"I agree with you all, we have been this for three hours straight and you all are only humans. There is a limit to how much you could do. So let's take a break, but for half an hour only. This way, we replenish our energy and finish the rest of the mission too", Ray spoke as agreed with everyone else, not to mention that even Ray was a bit tired of all this.

Not to mention his mana consumption being an all-time high as he used the mana stored within his mana core to use his spells as there was currently no mana within the environment.

"Thank you", Tim and Elina thanked Ray as they also turned to move towards the cafeteria.

Not only them but Emma and Noah did too while Ray picked up the unconscious wolf and turned towards the infirmary so the wolf could get treated.

A few minutes later, Ray reached the infirmary. Placing the unconscious wolf on an empty stretcher, Ray looked for the head nurse and found her smoking a cigarette in her office.

"You know smoking isn't allowed in the infirmary. Not to mention its harm to your health", Ray spoke as he opened the door.

"First of all, my office doesn't count as the infirmary. Over here I could do whatever the hell I want to. Secondly, it's my health. So you got nothing to worry about. Now tell me what you came here for", The head nurse spoke as she took a puff of her cigarette and placed it into the ashtray on the desk.

"Here to deliver another wolf, also to tell you that we took a small break. The others were in dire need of it",

"You could have texted me for that, why come to my office for such a small matter", The head nurse asked as she slightly tilted her head with a curious expression.

"Yeah, I came here for something else. Well, do you remember that I called you earlier because the female worker at the registration office wouldn't cooperate", Ray asked as he took a seat opposite to the head nurse.

"Yeah you did, but what of it? I remember telling her to cooperate with you and help you and from what I see, you achieved your goal as you found the person you were looking for", The head nurse asked with a frown on her face, not understanding where Ray was getting to with his words.

"Well, she did cooperate but not in the manner you asked her to. I know that you wouldn't understand it this way, that's why I recorded everything. I will leave it to you then, do as you please", Ray said as he sent the head nurse the recording and stood from the chair, and exited the office.

On the other hand, the head nurse didn't stop Ray but focused her attention on the video Ray sent.

Ten minutes later, an explosion could be heard within the infirmary as an angry head nurse screamed,

"To think you would try and manipulate someone I sent on a mission, I will get to the bottom of it", The head nurse screamed in anger as the video had finally ticked her off.

Meanwhile,

Ray sat at the cafeteria along with everyone else as they enjoyed a late meal to fulfill their energy for their next outing.
