Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 142
Advertisement
Due to the unexpected appearance of Golgoch, the quest log of Dolly and Harmless Sparrow updated based on the current predicament. Since the quest cannot be shared, I didn't see the content of their quest.
"Seriously? Do we have to defeat those two to complete the quest?! Isn't that impossible?!" Dolly is now feeling confused and worried seeing the new quest log for them.
"Are you girls serious? You worried about them defeating you gals? They are just a bunch of weaklings so why get worried about them? Just whack them with the magic spells you got and if you guys run out of mana to use, then use your weapons to whack their skulls down!" Queen Tanya said without batting an eye.
The two didn't expect Queen Tanya's words. I laughed dryly and explained it to them.
"You guys should get used to it, her words might be brutal as hell but she can back up everything she just said with her actions."
"What the hell, are you serious with this Bladeheart?" Dolly felt it was ridiculous right from the very beginning.
"No time to complain, guys! They are coming!"
Golgoch is charging at us with his double-edged ax and slams it down to the ground causing shockwaves that travel towards us on the ground.
We quickly dodged it but the girls didn't anticipate the next attack that came from Beraka who is acting as the support of Golgoch who is acting as the main tank. The lightning attack that was hurled towards Dolly and Harmless Sparrow was strong enough that they were stunned after the attack landed on them.
"Ack! We can't move!"
I didn't wait for their stun to went off and cast the spell of the cleric [Cleanse] and also used [Heal] on them, allowing them to move again before they get hit by Golgoch who was about to smash them to a pulp.

"Keep sharp guys! We can't afford you guys to die here!" I shouted to them.
"Thanks for the save!" Harmless Sparrow said before she imbued her weapon with Fire Element.
"Damn you! You dare hit a girl, I will turn you to a barbecue lizard!" Dolly extends both hands and conjured two fireballs on her hands and repeatedly unleashes them at the two lizardmen
Beraka has to avoid the fireball as he will explode into flames once he gets hit on it, though it is the opposite on Golgoch as he faces them head-on without care for them.
"Don't waste your mana on Golgoch! Focus the barrage on Beraka instead!" I shouted.
Queen Tanya is taking care of the minions so we can't rely on her to do damage against the enemies.
"Taste the lightning bolt from Master Serbal's might!" Beraka raises his spear and a bolt of lightning suddenly strikes down to his spear, imbuing it with electricity.
To someone busy against the minions to bother on Beraka, stopping him from getting his weapon getting strong is not possible, however, it is different for us.
"As if I will let you!" I moved forward and sliced on Beraka's hands, causing him to drop the weapon he was trying to charge with lightning.
The moment my weapon cut off Beraka's hands, my Versatile Weapon suddenly started flashing, and the button of the [Devour] suddenly appeared.
'This kind of thing is possible?!'
I grinned inwardly and before Beraka can grab his chopped-off hand, I execute the command to my Versatile Weapon.
"[DEVOUR]!"
My Versatile Weapon started wriggling and its dark aura emerged and its dragon-like shadow emerged.
"What is that thing?!" Beraka didn't expect the appearance of the dragon-like shadow out of thin air.

[ROAAAAAAAAARRRRR!]
In one single swoop, it suddenly opened its mouth and took a bite on the hand that was just recently cut off from the arms of Beraka. In just a split second it separated from him, it also took that long for it to disappear forever alongside the spear that he prized the most.
It was a very unexpected thing since my Versatile Weapon didn't just devour the weapon alone but also the dismembered hands of Beraka. My weapon burps before it returned to its normal unconscious state.
"My arm! Give me back my arm and spear!" Beraka shouted as his face is in despair after witnessing them disappear in one go.
"Finder's keepers! If you let the damn thing go, then I will be picking it up and it is officially mine."
Due to his shock, he didn't notice someone behind him has already sneaked in. Before he can even react, a flaming sword successfully tore through his scales that he is taking a pride in.
"W-what?"
"Golgoch is busy fighting with the scythe woman and my friend so I took the liberty of taking the bounty from your head," Harmless Sparrow then pushed the Burning Sword to his chest and pulled it upwards. His HP is falling rapidly and once it was drained and reduced to zero, Harmless Sparrow cut Beraka's body in half.
I am still surprised by the realism of this game that the monster's guts are shown without any sensor.
"Now we only have Golgoch to kill," Harmless Sparrow said.
...
Golgoch is also having a hard time against the two. If he targets the Magician, the Scythe Wielding woman will immediately destroy and melt his armor like nothing. If he focuses his target on the Scythe Wielder, he is more likely to die since fighting head-on with her is clear suicide. He is in a dilemma.
"I came here to bolster my power to raise my abilities and kill Beraka once I get stronger. But what is this... why am I being pushed back?!"
His helm fell after a fireball hit his broken helm revealing his face. He growled to the two but the scythe wielder just grinned and swings the scythe into his head. It took him a few seconds to realize what just happened to him and why his vision suddenly tumbles upside down as he saw his body remaining still on the ground while his head fell to the ground.
"Subjugation Complete," Queen Tanya said as she took the soul of Golgoch out of his lifeless body.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
