Everyone Else Has a System

The stage was ready; the defences were set, and the people were ready.

I, at the centre of the roof, looked all around me.

There were two people sitting in front of me. Eliza and Bernette.

They were sitting with their eyes closed with a bit of tense expression. I would have liked them to be more calm but I guess there is little you can do to calm your nerves in this situation.

My eyes drifted to the front, Oliver and Mark were there with a sword in their left and right hand, respectively. There was Reeve standing at the edge of the circle behind Mark and Oliver.

I turned in the opposite direction to see William sitting on his knees, like a sage and Lucia standing right beside him with her eyes glowing a crimson red. She had already activated her second moon, huh? Guess that is to be expected from her.

Then there was Cristine standing at a distance on one of the towers, watching the whole scene. I asked her to not get close, but she was adamant about watching the whole thing with her own two eyes.

On my left there were Freya and Rheo standing with their respective weapons, a whip and a longsword. Looking at their smiles, it felt as if they were enjoying this whole tension.

'Freaks!' I cursed a little before turning to my right.

There were Cedric, and Elric standing with their arms crossed. They looked really determined, maybe determined even to put their lives on the line for this. Though I wonder what they would have done if I had told them the whole truth.

My eyes then drifted up… Amon, Elle, and others are probably observing me too. This is an important battle, I suppose. Then there are others from the Leeway family, like Irene and others who are watching the battle through the eyes of the camera.

Not just them, but I suppose the Vampire king and William's father, the King of the Western Continent, too, are currently watching

'I guess they are in for a ride,' I smirked a little before turning back to Bernette and Eliza. One has a parasite while the other is cursed. How fascinating!

Ah! Did I forget to mention I was in my Reaper's outfit. Black hair, black eyes and a black cloak that screamed death, both with its looks and aura.

Though, this time I had a sword in my hand, instead of Scythe. Why, of course, I am going to kill the parasite, no need to hold back, do I?

I then moved closer to Bernette and touched her back, while touching Eliza's back as well. I close my eyes and pour my mana into Bernette's as well as Eliza's back before slightly piercing the places where I touched them, with a pure dark aura.

Blood started drifting out of their back and

"Blood Assimilation Magic: Reverse Curse of the Night Reaper," I chanted one of my original magic that I created after the third Cataclysm, during the fight against Vengeance Hunter.

-AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A screeching sound came, and it was neither Bernette's nor Eliza's, but something that had escaped up in the sky from Bernette's body. It was a small part of that parasite. The real one wouldn't come out this easily… The real one would…

-AAAAAAAA!!!!!

I applied more of my blood to Bernette and Eliza. Eliza's curse was probably reacting strongly, and Eliza was having a hard time keeping her consciousness. Though after a few moments,

"Blood Assimilation Magic: Reversal Curse Transfer."

And then jumped out the real one. He tore apart Bernette's body into pieces with her hands, legs, arms and everything being scattered everywhere. He stood in front of me, standing with his body half matured, half destroyed but rapidly healing. His lower hands were smaller, with the upper hands as sharp as a newly shaped blade. His brown eyes and ugly mouth were glaring at me before

-BOOOOM!!!!!!

I saw Mark already activating his power and looking at his powers… he is using Black Shadow System. He wasn't scared of the Parasite even one bit, instead he was angry and really scared right now.

-BOOOOM!!!

-BOOOM!!!!!!

-BOOOOOOOM!!!!

-BOOOOM!!!

He kept punching the parasite until the parasite started breaking into pieces. Mark's blood covered his fist, and that blood reached the Parasites. I could see the Parasite smiling a little as he poured his clone cells into the places where Mark was hitting and once those cells connected to Mark's blood,

-SCREEEAEATTCCCCHHHHHHH!!!!

My blood, which was currently flowing in an extremely minute amount in Mark's blood, entered in the Parasite's body, which should have given him the pain of his life as he began fully dodging Mark's attack and not taking them anymore.

Meanwhile, I…

"Reverse Blood Circle: Dark Assimilation: Fate Reversal," I muttered, using all the power I had accumulated in the magic circle all this time and started joining back Bernette's body parts one by one.

I had no idea, but at this moment, I sent chills down everyone's spine who was watching me. From Irene and Linda to the Vampire King and King of the Western Continent. Though, I wasn't as great as they think I am… I am tens of times better than this…

"Summon Soul: Aelia Scarlet"

I chanted calling forth Aelia, making everyone shocked once again as I had not told them about this. The ones who would be most shocked will be Lucia, William and Vampire King.

"Use the Circle below to erase all his sources of communicating with his kind," I spoke as I knew that there was a way the parasite can signal to his kind, which wasn't something even I can handle now.

Aelia nodded before proceeding to do that, though..

"AAAALLLLLL OOFFF YOUUU DDDIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The Parasite spoke before changing his form into something more darker, more ugly and more dangerous.

As soon as he did that, I cut off his connection with Bernette, whom I had already joined back to normal. Though her heart wasn't breathing and she was supposed to be dead. However…

"Spirit Magic: Resurrection of the chosen one," I mumbled as I poured all the spirit magic that I had collected and concentrated till now into her.

"Haaaaahhahaahaahaaaa…. Haaaaaa!!!!! Cough cough… huf… huf…. huff…" She started breathing as she rapidly exhaled and inhaled the air. Her face was pale, as if she had already seen death and I would have talked and comforted her, but right now, I have something even more important to concentrate on.

My eyes then turn to the completely transformed Parasite, who was screeching extremely loudly and a scary look forms on my face as I recall some bitter memories looking at that.

'About time we start the real battle.'
