Versatile System Online

"Ray?" Turning back, Sirius stared at the man walking out of the darkness. His visage was calm and his footsteps were measured. It seemed as if he was leisurely taking a walk in a park.

"Who else, now let's see what is going on here," Ray said and walked up to Sirius. His eyes were calm and his expression was lax.

"Okay, though something happened here," Said Sirius.

"I know. I have seen it," Ray replied and turned to face Hailey, "You think you can do everything? Well, do so. I won't interfere. Let's see who kills the big guy up ahead," Shouting loudly, Ray turned towards the end of the hallway.

Starting deep into the hallway, he sighed, "Sirius. Rest a bit and then move forward. It's going to be a tough one,"

"What do you mean?" Sirius asked with a frown. Though he took Ray's orders seriously, this one was strange. His action seemed so relaxed but his words just now.

"I know I can handle it alone but there is something strange with this one. It gives of a strange aura. Also, acting as a team would be more efficient," Ray remained cryptic and just ordered.

He turned back to Elina and looked into her eyes, "Call him out. I want to have a chat with him,"

"Call who?" Elina asked innocently.

"Elina, I know about that devil in your consciousness. It's something that runs in your blood so please don't deny it now," Said Ray.

"Okay," Embarrassed, Emma simply nodded and let the devil out. Her eye darkened as a strange silhouette appeared in her eye ball.

"Who are you to call me out!" An eerie mechanical voice spoke. It was neither of a man or a woman. Hearing the voice, Kain almost fainted from fear while the others had to reinforce their bodies with mana to withstand the blood thirst of the voice.

"hehe..." In the midst of fear and eeriness, Ray giggled and as he did, it made him look even more eerie.

"Who the hell are you?" Asked the voice.

"It isn't important," Ray replied. Looking into her eye, his expression turned serious as he spoke, "I know who you are. An ancient demon confined to a bloodline. Once the king of all demon but betrayed by them. For revenge, you made a pact with humans. Became their ally and ruled the world along with them. I know you, I know what you do but I don't care," Ray said so coldly. His aura rose slowly. It rose to the point everyone around him felt a mountain pressing down on them.

Their knees buckled as they could barely stand upright. This was Ray's pressure on the environment. It was the manifestation of his strength, of his confidence and his belief.

"Who are you?" The voice asked once again. However, this time it was different. It wasn't the pressing aura or the dominating tone he used. Instead, there was a hint of fear in it's voice and it showed that Ray's gesture and show of strength was not for nothing.

"It's not necessary to know who I am," Said Ray again. His voice was calm and he wasn't afraid. He has the advantageous position and the voice wasn't liking it.

"Then what do you want? You know so much about me, there should be a reason for that," Asked the voice.

"We both know what I want. Just help her out," Ray said and turned around. Leaving everyone else baffled. They thought that Ray would make a deal with them or do anything else control the situation but he just talked and showed his strength.

Inside Elina's consciousness,

The ancient demon thought hard about Ray's identity but to no extent. His thoughts were flying in the air as he couldn't connect Ray to anyone he knew.

"He is such a wild radical and he knew about my past as well. He should be related to someone big. I gotta be careful," Thought the ancient demon and sank further down her consciousness.

He would lend her his power from there and be hidden for some time.

Meanwhile,

Ray looked at Elina as she gained her consciousness. She was puzzled to see everyone staring at her with their mouths wide open.

"Did you all see a ghost or something?" she asked.

"You have an ancient demon inside your consciousness?" Nina asked as she stepped forward and started inspecting her as of she was a test subject or anything.

"Hey, no touching," Elina slapped her hand away and spoke, "It's a part of my system. So I don't know what else to tell,"

"We understand," Ray said out loud. Hearing his voice, Nia backed away but still looked at Elina with curiousness in her eyes. She was quite interested in such things and now her interest had extended over to Elina.

"Elina is just like all of us. We all are special in our ways and so is she. Therefore, I request you all to not disturb her over this. Her power should be an asset to us," Ray said further and calmed the situation down.

For people, the word 'Devil' was a stigma itself. Therefore, when they heard of it, they would subconsciously think of something bad while some others would be curious of the devil and their powers. This was what Ray was trying to avoid right here.

"Okay then. Let's move forward," Sirius said. He had rested enough and it was time for him to drench himself in blood.

"Yeah, we should have some fun now," Ray nodded along with him and walked forward.

The darkness up ahead was scary but neither Ray nor his teammates were afraid. They were all full of vigor and strength. They not only had enemies to deal with but also had some of their own whom they had to bring back to their minds.

"Sirius, take care of her on my signal," Ray said telepathically. He didn't want to say it out in front of the others because no one knew who was under Hailey's control and who wasn't.

Ray trusted Sirius the most and that is why he personally gave the task to Sirius.

"Okay," Sirius nodded. He knew the trust Ray had in him and would never let Ray down.

On the other hand,

Hailey moved with her horde. They protected her from every corner and while doing so, they tried to get closer to her. The lust in most of their eyes only increased.

They were turned on by her beauty and wanted to mate with her. With their urge increasing, they just turned into animals wanting to mate.

If others saw it, they would have thought that her plan was failing. It was backfiring upon her but for Hailey, it was different.

She was enjoying it all. Her eyes were as sharp as a fox and they kept examining everyone. Since she had control over them, she could also make them feel a lot of things.

Most of them suddenly stopped and started to moan. She had put them in an illusion and they used their hands for pleasure. Their eyes were dull and they looked hideous.

Though, these were the weak minded ones. The strong ones still had their thoughts and only supported Hailey. They we went infatuated by her.

Hailey personally moved closer to Adrian. Her body hugged him closely as she felt every inch of his body. Her hands traced over his skin as there was a longing in her eyes. It seemed that Hailey really wanted to be with him and take it to the next level.

However, Adrian always denied her advances and this pissed her off. Leading to the situation right now but even now, it was different. Even though Adrian was under her control, there wasn't the fire of lust in his eyes.

He wasn't infatuated by her even a single bit and this made her even angrier.

"I will conquer you," She thought and kept touching him. Even if he wasn't infatuated by her she could still have some fun and pleasure. Touching him gave her a sense of satisfaction like none other.

Not long later,

They all reached the end of the hallway. Seeing the end, she had her mouth wide open. What she saw was out of her expectations. There was a huge door that had multiple chains blocking it while patches of blood flowed down it.

In front of the door stood a troll covered in a dull, dusty armor. The troll reeked of death and looking at it, it barely looked alive.

Ray stood on the other side as he saw the scene up ahead. Looking at the troll, a thought came to his mind, "Undead,"

And this was it. This was an undead. An undead troll at that. The troll raised its hands and looked at them. It's eyes glowed an eerie green as it grew in size.

The troll who looked harmless was now suddenly meters tall and it towered over them all.

"So this was what you sensed back then," Ray said to Aurora as he continued on examining the troll.
