Versatile: Alternate World

583 Creatures of Scourge Vs. Creatures of Afterlife

If seen in the distance, it might look like it was just some sort of turf war but if you look at the battle closely, everyone is raising their weapons up high with burning spirit while the monsters are just swarming through, like a wave from the sea washing through the land. Both entities are created from the darkness, one from the scourge, and one from the realm of the dead, the afterlife but in the end, they stood on different sides and that is enough to spark a big fight between the two.

The swarm of the monsters is no longer something my AOE magic can handle and even with the guns and bows and arrows in the fray, they are no longer enough to handle every monster coming in. The skeletons carrying melee weapons started to also take action themselves.

"Don't die, guys! Prioritize your safety. If things are not looking good, retreat!"

The skeletons listened to my orders and they easily avoided them like nothing before killing them. Slice, dice, evade, just like normal warriors.

"Master! On the right!" Lucia shouted.

I quickly evaded the incoming attack and I realized that it was acid. It seems they have the acid bomber kind of monster here too. It was present in the past timeline but since it took a while for us to raid the villages, those kinds are all over the place.

Seeing that the horde is still here without clearing up, I decided to up my game and just let these f*ckers get destroyed.

Stabbing the ground with the Versatile Weapon, I channel my mana and activated the AOE skill that can cause different reactions.

"[Earth Fissure]!"

CRACK!

The ground cracked and the monsters walking on them fell into the cracks, significantly reducing them. The moment the skill was over, the crack disappeared, and all of the monsters that fell also disappeared.

"CHARGE!"

Seeing the number of monsters gone from the kill, a few of the bigger monsters decided to take a move. They quickly take advantage that we are still busy killing monsters for them to strike,

CRACK!

One of them appeared out of nowhere and slashes down one of my skeletons. Because the skeleton he attacked is busy dealing with another monster, it didn't get to defend itself and got destroyed to pieces by its scythe-like hands. The skeleton's remains disintegrated to ashes the moment it died. It got broken to pieces like a f*cking piece of pottery.

The f*cker is not done and also sweeps its large scythe into my neck but I am someone who has great reflexes. Only a little bit of a slide and the blade went past me. But after its first attack, it followed up with its second attack. It's impossible for me to dodge again after I dodge once so the only logical thing to do, is to defend myself by immediately blocking it off with the Versatile Weapon's shield form. I am thankful that the changing form takes literally a second as a sword won't hold well to defend the second scythe's attack.

"Get off me, you stinky bug."

BANG!

Slamming the shield staggers the big bugger allowing me to attack. Seeing my little distance from the monster, I checked the Versatile Weapon's new forms and one of them is the scythe. I didn't hesitate and changed it to that form before swinging it like a madman reaper taking the life of the next person.

SWISH!

The scythe did not disappoint as the monster's head flew to the side the moment I swung it to its neck. Because the Versatile Weapon's scythe form is pretty big, one single sweep beheaded 2 of the big buggers there. I was intending of killing only one of them but killing two as a bonus? I will take that no problem.

However, I only killed two, there are still four of those little f*ckers over there and the critters that are here have been numerous. Now that I think about it, why are there so many of them? It's not yet been a day so it is impossible for them to have reproduced these much. I have already learned that they reproduce 30 critters a single day and they can spawn any time of the day because they spawn randomly, it was unpredictable, and destroying the one that is spawning them is necessary. However, they can only reproduce 30 times. More than that and the one reproducing will shut down and will not function until the next day. So why is it capable of sending troops these much?

There is no time to ask for an explanation and immediately charged with the skeletons to the base. Then, I noticed that one skeleton I have been looking at with curiosity. Not only does this guy have been an absolute mad lad, but the skeleton has much more slick moves despite being just all bones than me. I hate to admit it but the skeleton is much more stylish in battle.

Clearing a path using the scythe was easier as I just swing it like I am trying to cut down weeds and since this scythe was big enough, its reach is very large and all I can say is that this is amazing as hell. And thanks to that, the skeletons have no problem going straight to the bigger monsters. They didn't care much about what they are, they wield their weapons, charge forward and fight. The big buggers are not happy with them and they started to fight.

But the guy who took all the credits in front of my eyes is none other than the same skeleton that I am eyeing out. As soon as it charged toward the big monster, it didn't jump to the monster immediately and dived underneath one of them, causing the big bugger to miss its attacks. Then, it gets up and pierces the monster with its sword, causing the blood the monster to spill. The skeleton didn't mind the blood and continued to penetrate the body of the monster with the sword until the tip of the sword passed through the body. Then, the little skeleton dragged the sword while it is still inside the body of the big monster which in turn, causes the guy to rip the body of the monster like it was nothing.

CLACK CLACK CLACK!

It didn't stop just in there. Because the next thing that happened is that the skeleton got enveloped in darkness and weird black sludge slowly covers its body. There is one way to look at it right now. The skeleton is evolving and that is a big holy sh*t.
