Versatile System Online

A series of notifications sounded within his consciousness stating,

-Ding!!!,

"Skill:- [Lightning bolt] has leveled up. [Lightning bolt] - Level 2 [0/150].

Ray saw the notification & was quite relieved when he got another notification.

-Ding!!, "Skill [SLASH] has leveled up.". [SLASH]: Level 3-(0/300).

Ray was very happy, now that he had leveled up another skill, he could also feel getting stronger.

Thus, Ray got up and pierced the wolf's body to search for its spirit core. After about a minute of searching, Ray found the wolf's spirit core. It looked like an uneven sphere with rough edges & seemed as if a murky cloud of blackness remained moving within the spirit core. Without a second glance, Ray put the spirit core within his system inventory,

Ray had enough space to store a lot of things infinitely in his system inventory to the fact that 'Aurora' was a system that reigned supreme, while only systems of a higher grade had an inventory space of their own.

Ray kept the wolf's corpse in his inventory as well because he could sell the corpse for a good buck.

Now that his Stamina had replenished, Ray got back to work. He moved towards the east side of the first layer of the forest as the map indicated that a pack of five wolves lived there.

As he advanced east, Ray noticed that the trees got denser and the presence of other animals lowered considerably. After half an hour of movement towards the east of the forest, Ray reached his location.

In front of him was a cave, it emitted a thick stench of blood.

Ray was sure that he was in the right place due to the thick stench of blood. Therefore, he equipped his beast souls but did not make the foolish mistake to head into the wolf's den, instead the cast a spell of his own,

[Fire Ball]:-

"Uses mana to condense a ball of flame capable of widespread destruction."

Moreover, he also equipped his third beast soul,

[Halo of Enhancement],

Immediately after a halo of light hung above his heel that increased his stats by 15% for a total of 30 minutes.

Other than that, Ray also activated his abilities empowering him further.

As he was doing all of this, the fireball released by him hit the target, and along with it a howl of pain sounded from within the cave & 5 figures dashed out.

Due to the activation of his speed ability, Ray could the five that had dashed out of the cave, the five wolves matched the characteristics of the first wolf he had killed thus he got into a fighting stance for a serious battle.

Therefore, without waiting for a moment Ray dashed out and slashed at the wolf he had injured with his fireball. Along with it he released a [Lightning Bolt] from his free hand to distract other wolves, he also noticed that his spell had formed faster and its attack power had also increased, Yet Ray did not linger on it for long and continued with his attacks.

The injured wolf let out a cry of pain as Ray severed one of its limbs with his sword making blood gush out uncontrollably.

Then after Ray completed his attack & dashed towards the larger wolf amongst them all, that was because he sensed more danger from the larger wolf that seemed like the alpha of that pack.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ray engaged in a melee clash against the wolf while using his skills often,

[SLASH],

[BLOCK],

He used the former to attack and later to defend, while also keeping his ability 'light dome' activated to stop any other wolves from launching a sneak attack.

A few moments into the clash with the alpha, Ray's hunch proved to be true as two wolves lunged forward to attack Ray.

However, to their dismay, a barrier that glowed faintly with a yellowish hue stopped their advance. They pounced on the barrier many times but only got hurt themselves.

While the wolves attacked the barrier, Ray and the Alpha clashed against each other.

A couple of clashes later, both Ray and the alpha took a step back as they knew they could not hurt the other party.

Ray also realized that if not for his [Armour type beast soul], he would have long suffered bloody gashes all across his body due to the wolf's sharp claws.

Thus, Ray thought for a while & a strange glint flashed in his eyes as the mana in his body surged forward and he sent out two magic spells, with one masked behind the other.

He sent out,

[Fire ball] at first & masked a [lightning Bolt] behind it.

The purpose for such an attack was clear as he knew that even if the first attack did not hit the wolf, the second would surely hit while the lightning bolt's paralyzing effect would make further clashes against the wolf alpha easier and just as Ray predicted, the Alpha sensed danger from the fireball and defended against it, but failed to notice the lightning bolt behind it & was sent flying towards a bunch of trees as the attack hit it in the chest while the paralysis effect slowed down its movements.

Ray did not give the wolf a chance to catch its breath & immediately dashed forwards to force it into another confrontation,

Crash!!, clanck!!, Slash!! Splatt!!,

After several confrontations, Ray found an opening and slashed at the wolf. A large gash opened up on the wolf's back.

Pant!! Pant!!,

Ray was exhausted due to a loss of stamina and consumption of energy as he was constantly supplying energy to the barrier so he could be safe from any sneak attacks.

Moreover, it seemed that the alpha was quite tenacious as well, as it still lunged forward to attack Ray.

Ray immediately used his sword & blocked its claw,

The [Block] skill is handy at times like these and Ray was really happy to have it.

After the wolf's attack was blocked, Ray held his sword in a backhand grip and slashed while he spun a full 360°, causing a big blow to the wolf. Splatt! Awolowo!!!,

,m Ray cut the wolf very deep & inches away from the heart while some white bones belonging to the ribcage could also be seen.

As the wolf howled in pain, Ray launched a fireball & attacked it immediately, while the wolf alpha had no strength to counter or dodge and died shortly after.

After which Ray turned to face the three remaining wolves.

-----------------------------------------

Clank!!, Splatt!!, Clank!!,

Ray fought against the wolves for half an hour and some time ago, the enhancement-type beast soul had also lost its effect as it had reached its time limit.

Therefore, Ray's fighting power was greatly affected. Moreover, one of the three wolves had died & the other two had received various injuries as well.

However, Ray was also not faring much better as he had consumed almost all of his stamina & did not have many options left, and if not for his armor, he would have suffered more as well.

Then suddenly,

Urghh!, spat!

Ray spat a mouthful of blood meaning that his internal organs had been shaking from all of the attacks.

Ray knew he was on his last leg so he immediately thought of a way to kill the remaining wolves. Then, an idea came to him and he started kiting the wolves towards the cave where they previously lived. The wolves on the other hand were lost in bloodlust & did not seem to notice Ray's tactics and relentlessly approached him.

Ray on the other hand reached the entrance of the cave while the wolves fiercely lunged at him, he sidestepped then rolled over the ground to dodge the wolves, while the wolves skidded into the cave due to their momentum.

Ray, on the other hand, used all of his remaining mana to create a huge fireball & also condensed a lightning bolt, he then encased both of them in a barrier & launched them towards the caves while shrinking the barrier and merging both attacks as they reached the cave, then the whole cave shook and a blast occurred,

Boom!!!

Right after the blast, tremors occurred in the cave and many rocks fell within the cave leaving it on the verge of collapse while, Ray whose face was as pale as a piece of paper, fell to the ground heavily.

Thudd!!!,

While he was gasping for breath, a series of notifications sounded in his consciousness & Ray's strength gradually increased and his condition started to become better.
