Versatile System Online-Chapter 240 Sirius Vs The Assassin
Sirius stepped forward, his body blurred as he appeared in front of the blood-stained wall. Putting his snout near the dried blood, he sniffed.
Suddenly, he looked up. His eyes had darkness flowing within them as he seemed to look through the countless walls and obstacles as he locked onto an individual.
"Found you," Sirius whispered. His blood boiled as all the pent-up anger and frustration burst out.
"Awoooooo!!!" A loud howl reverberated in the corridor as Sirius showed his full power. His claws extended further as his body grew even more.
The skin underneath his fur squirmed. Dark and dull bones tore out of his skin as blood dripped on the ground. The bones appeared behind his elbows and on his back.
These were the natural weapons of a werewolf and in Sirius's case, these bones were filled with an immense amount of energy. The bones were condensed of the darkness contained in his blood and were the physical manifestation of his strength.
Meaning, as he got stronger; so will the bones get stronger and would even change to support his further path and fighting style.
The shadows beneath him dilated as the figure of the wolf behind him grinned. The figure wrapped around Sirius as a dark shadow condensed over his body. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
The shadow kept on condensing until it formed a dark, shadowy armor that seemed to be integrated into Sirius's body. This was the shadow armor ability that Sirius had gained when he advanced and it was by far, the strongest ability it had.
The armor not only provided him with an immense boost to his physical strength but also made him more endowed with darkness.
Not only that but the armor also allowed Sirius to channel his strength outwards and control the shadows to a greater extent. The armor could do even more but Sirius had yet to test it all. After all, it was the first time after evolving into the next realm and gaining the ability that he would use the armor.
The shadow below his feet rippled as Sirius disappeared into the shadow. A wind blew by and a vague shadow could be seen running through the shadows.
On the other hand,
The assassin squatted near a corner. Previously, he had come out to check how things were going and that was when he felt a presence following behind him.
Also, the traitor amongst the humans had told him that a team was formed to go after him. Not only that but the whole information along with the timing of the departure of the team was also related to him.
Right now, the assassin was still very troubled. The shallow and not-so-significant wound he had received from that girl still remained and right now, it radiated a strange aura that even he didn't know the purpose of.
Although it didn't bring him any after-effects or such nor did it affect his battle ability, he still had a bad feeling about it. He had a vague feeling that the strange aura must be some sort of beacon that the girl must have planted on him when he attacked.
Suddenly, his countenance changed. His pupils were constricted as he felt the visceral fear of his life. He raised his hands as a dark mist formed.
"Poooff!!" a claw tore through his body as his body was turned to smoke. Appearing in another corner, the assassin looked back at the place where he previously was.
There, he saw two dark eyes staring at him with indifference in his eyes. The smoke cleared up as the figure was revealed. It stood up on its feet and looked down at the assassin. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
The figure was around two meters tall with greyish-black fur all over its body. The figure's eyes were as red as blood and its maw was open as saliva dripped down it.
It raised its hands and claws extended out as a dark glimmer shone in the claws. The armor on the figure's body squirmed and condensed around its vital parts.
A part of the armor extended down his arms as it formed arm guards and bracers. The bones sticking out of his elbows elongated and sharpened as they shone a dark glint.
The assassin gulped as the werewolf in front of him wasn't some normal wolf. He could sense the air of an alpha around it and one who had the power of darkness in his control.
Also, he could feel shivers down his spine just from the werewolf's presence. The assassin certainly knew that there was something unusual about the werewolf in front of him and it was because of this that he hesitated.
After all, the assassin wasn't afraid of someone with the power of darkness. He had the power of darkness himself and was confident in his abilities. Also, the assassin wasn't someone weak. He was in the pseudo-calamity realm and was able to crush anyone in the starting stages of the magical realm.
Getting past the initial shock, the assassin grinned and shook his head. He felt humiliated by the fact that he froze in shock at the werewolf's presence when the werewolf in front of him was just an amateur who had reached the magical realm not too long ago.
"Hehe! I will make you pay," The assassin grinned. A small dagger appeared in his hand. The dagger shone a dark glint as the assassin licked his lips and disappeared.
A wind blew up in his place as Sirius suddenly realized something. The assassin's presence was completely gone. It seemed as if the man never existed in the first place.
A bit startled, Sirius looked around as he searched for the assassin. He looked and looked but couldn't find the assassin anywhere. Using his perception, Sirius suddenly froze as he sensed something.
"Clanggg," using his claws to cover his head, he intercepted the dagger as sparks flew in the air.
The assassin seemed to have abruptly appeared above him and launched an attack. Sirius only got to know of the assassin's presence when the assassin had already attacked. Thankfully, Sirius had sharp senses and his reaction time was impeccable.
Or else, the dagger might have pierced through his head and would have caused him considerable damage.
"Swoooshh!" The wind blew again as the assassin disappeared again. More alarmed than ever, Sirius looked around again.
Knowing that he couldn't find the assassin anymore, Sirius turned to another approach to deal with him. He raised his hands as a ball of darkness condensed under his control. The palm-sized ball expanded until it became as large as a basketball.
Throwing the ball in the air, it burst into a cloud and spread out. The cloud spread around him as the surroundings turned pitch black.
This was a spell that Sirius recently acquired,
[Ball Of Darkness],
This allowed him to turn the surrounding area pitch black and only he could see within the area because of his special dark vision as a werewolf.
His vision turned monotone as he was only able to see in black and white. He looked around as a black silhouette appeared in his vision. The silhouette seemed to be looking around in the darkness. From the reaction it showed, Sirius reckoned that the person was not too worried and instead was searching for a way out of the darkness.
As if Sirius would let the person be, his claws extended as a dangerous glint shone in his eyes. Sirius looked at the assassin as the assassin felt a premonition.
He looked up and saw Sirius glaring at him in anger. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead as the assassin felt like prey being stared upon by a predator.
Kicking the ground, Sirius vanished and appeared above the assassin. An X-shaped arc was formed as Sirius slashed down his claws.
The assassin put the dagger in front of him as he tried to block the attack. He still had the arrogant sneer on his face as the assassin knew that the attack couldn't do much to him.
However, to the assassin's surprise; Sirius disappeared again. He appeared behind the assassin as he slashed again. Another arc was left as the assassin summoned another dagger out from his spatial storage and blocked the attack as well.
This time, the assassin was rather serious as blocking two attacks still took much of his stamina compared to blocking only one. Well, it was just the start. Sirius kept on flashing here and there. He appeared in front, behind, and beside the assassin and slashed as many items as he could.
That was when the assassin reached his breaking point. He couldn't handle the attacks anymore as the attacks overwhelmed him and he was finally hit.
The impact made him fly back in the air as various cuts were etched onto his skin. The assassin, who was barely conscious suddenly grinned. His body burst into a puff of smoke as he appeared on the other side of the corridor.
Smiling at Sirius, the assassin merged into the shadows as his presence disappeared and so did he. The assassin had run away.
Seeing this, Sirius kicked the ground and followed the assassin as he ran behind him in the corridor. However, what could he do? How far could he run? He couldn't even sense the assassin much less, follow him.
"Awooooo" He howled in frustration and raised his hands. The shadow beneath him squirmed as seven shadow wolves appeared from his shadow.
He instructed the wolves as they ran through the corridor and disappeared into the hallway. He was going to use the shadow wolves to track the assassin and search each and every hallway of the infirmary.
After all, the infirmary wasn't too big and if the assassin led the infirmary, the magic formations would notify Ray and the head nurse.
