Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 581

Published at 30th of November 2022 05:31:44 AM

Witnessing the death of its sibling, the other monster roared in anger as it uses its scythe-like hands to sweep us and kill us but my Shikigami is keeping it at bay, and despite its efforts on trying to attack us, the Shikigami is just causing the monster to get more furious than ever. Every time it made the sweeping attack, the Shikigami would immediately interrupt the monster by blocking it with its little katanlike blade that is strong enough to withstand a 5 feet long scythe.

It honestly made me happy that the shikigami is capable of holding out long enough for us to defeat the other monster similar to the Shikigami is killing. I know the Shikigami is not strong enough to even kill it without self-destructing itself but allowing it to withstand that long is already good enough. What if the skill is upgraded to the advanced form and some passives are added as well into the fray? That will make everything much better. But even right now that the shikigamis I summoned are just normal, no buffs familiars, and just a literal made of paper golem able to withstand a monster that can slice humans down in one swing, is already speaking in itself.

After we disposed of the first monster down, we turned to look at the monster that the shikigami is facing. I have a little gripe about these guys though as they don't register as monsters in the game just yet. You don't even see their HP bar and official names that you can call them which is why I always call them monsters. They are not angels anymore as they morphed away from that. Although you get no penalty for killing them, you don't get any rewards from killing them except a little bit of experience that barely amounts to anything at all for a Versatile class like me.

Still, I am doing this for the sake that the quests for later on will not f*ck us up like what happened in the past timeline.

"Lucia, let's deal with this f*cker down as soon as possible."

"You got it, Master. My flames are waiting!"

As the monster tried to battle its way from my Shikigami, I raised a [Kekkai] to the monster's claw before the Shikigami attacked and cuts off the claw of the monster using its little blade. It took a bit but it managed to cut it off without a problem.

"Lucia! Burn the claw!"

"Burst in flames! Explode!"

SNAP!

Lucia snapped her fingers and in response, the claw caught in the fire before it exploded like a bomb in front of the monster which also damages the monster after. These guys have the ability to reattach their broken and cut-off limbs as long as they are still fine or just recently cut off which is why I ordered Lucia to burn them to avoid the monster from even using them again.

With one of its claws gone, the danger of the monster is now a little bit lower as we can now defend it properly due to now it is fighting slower and unevenly with only one hand to use. I ordered the Shikigami to back off now to avoid letting it get damaged any further and went to replace it in the fight.

SKREEEEE!

It made another futile swing as its anger is directed still on the shikigami but as it did, I took a low swing underneath its claws and raise my Versatile Weapon in its Longsword form with all my strength, ripping off the claws before it can even retract from its previous attack and avoid losing the remaining weapon.

It was soft. Soft like tofu, it's not even hard at all and more like I felt it was similar to chopping a limb of a human being like it was nothing.

After doing a cut, I took a little step behind me before jumping into the monster with increased momentum and performing a stab. Its little armor did protect itself from being pierced further by the sword of mine but it wasn't complete protection as I am not aiming to stab this monster fully with the sword. I wanted to do the usual trick I usually do.

Changing its form from a longsword to a magic sword didn't change much allowing me to change its form without making big changes to my weapon. The only thing that changed between the longsword and magic sword is that the latter has a magic stone embedded in the center, which acts as the catalyst that allows any magic to flow freely on the sword and lets the user use magic spells while the former has no other features aside from being a longsword with a long, thick and hard blade.

The monster glared at me and if it could still speak, it might have already started throwing insults at me already.

"Ha, die motherf*cker. [Earth Fissure]!"

CRACK!

The armor covering the monster's body cracked and started to crumble to pieces. Then, my blade sank to its flesh and the moment it did, the pressure from the skill transmitted straight to the body of the f*cker which resulted in the monster exploding to pieces.

Dousing myself in water after being splattered by guts and blood from the monster, I turned to look at everyone else. Lucia gives a thumbs up after I killed the last big guy while the wolves just finished up their last hunt.

"Good job guys. Let's clean it up like usual, shall we?"

And so, the second village is erased from the map before things have crept to the harmless village right next to it. We left after the cleanup is done before the other village will try to call us out. After all, we don't have any sort of evidence to back up that this village has been overrun by monsters as we have already burned up everything. A silent escape is all we needed to do so. Now to the next village.

After the discovery of the scorched village and the signs of scourge appearing from it, the angels are now on very high alert. After the scourge was discovered, many of the angels are scared of whatever is going to take.

Sigma, Mr. Teddy and Harmless Sparrow are discussing their current strategy on what to do while they are waiting for the new questline that will be issued after their rest. Before the quest has begun, Bladeheart already discussed them about what to expect at the situation and most of what he predicted was right. The only thing he didn't get correct is that they will receive the quest from a guy named Tactician.

However, currently, the ones who are giving them a briefing and quest is none other than the one who also taught them how to fly, Alynna.

"I know that all of you have been exhausted by the Flight lesson yesterday and I apologize if you still feel do. However, we are currently facing a big trouble that we are just delaying for all of you since you lots are still not ready. However, the situation is no longer something we can delay any further."

She then performed a lot of stuff to explain though most of the players listening are still talking to themselves and are not so enthusiastic about the situation. It seems most of them have plans they wanted to do and Bladeheart also predicted this will happen.

"Most of the stuff that Bladeheart predicted has turned right. It seems he has already grasped what will happen after he have reached the first quest. Too bad we can't even choose to team up with him in this one," Harmless Sparrow sighed.

"We can't do anything about it. The quest line he got does not match with us and if ever we team up, the quest line on his quest line might be very strict for him to not be able to seek help. We can do our best to just go and follow his advice," Sigma answered as they continue to listen to the talk of the commander.

After a few more sentences, the quest log has finally been updated. They are tasked to investigate the current situation of monsters appearing all of a sudden and this thing they called "scourge" and where it came from. It is vague but based on the explanation, they seemed to cause the angels to morph into monsters so they already have some sort of idea what it was.

"Just like what Bladeheart said, it was exactly what the quest is going to be," Sigma shrugged her shoulders.

"Looks like he already predicted our quest line. It seems his quest line is also similar but his is much more troublesome as he has to solo it. Seeing that we are just on the process of investigating it, his quest must be already finding the cause or exterminating the cause already."

"That might be the main case already. But now that we have already got the quest, its time to prove that we are worthy being pioneers. We have to catch up to Bladeheart as soon as possible. We shouldn't waste our time."
