My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 525: Fourth Fight: Stein & Bernard VS Cathyl & Vheslia 12

-----

Meanwhile, at the same time as Cathyl was blown away by Stein…

Bernard's trickiness got the better off Vheslia at the end, his amazing abilities using shadows and poison were outstanding, and he ended proving to be the better mage in the usage of such elements, overwhelming the talented Vheslia with an amazing performance of power that she had never expected to see coming from such an inauspicious man.

She had been inflicted with a poison over her wounds that paralyzed her, and she was slowly loosing blood, she couldn't conjure her magic properly due to this, and Bernard already told her it was hopeless no matter what she tried, that she should give up and go back home.

Bernard slowly walked towards Vheslia leisurely, smiling cheekily.

"It's over now. I've won." He said.

"Nngh…!"

"The moment my daggers touched your body multiple times. It is my victory. There is a toxin in them that won't kill you, but might end up knocking you out if they reach the brain. Also, you're bleeding out, quickly forfeit so your wounds can be treated." Said Bernard, looking at Vheslia as if she were an inferior being.

The eyes of Bernard towards her, they felt so piercing and intimidating, as if he were saying "you're nothing compared to me". And that same glare was the one she always received when she was younger.

Her memories emerged within her mind, as she recalled fragments of her past, when Vheslia used to be a student in the Magic Academy back in Terra. She used the to be looked down upon others because unlike most of the people in the country, who were all beastmen, she was a demon, an outsider, as they called her.

She saw through her memories and remembered her loses and the way she was treated back then, but she also remembered her good friend Gwendolyn who cheered her up, and the first time she meet her… she was perhaps hallucinating, but she could swear she heard her voice inside her mind telling her to not give up.

…

"VHESLIA! DON'T GIVE UP!"

"Ah…!"

Gwendolyn's expression woke up Vheslia from her daze, as her eyes opened wide. She couldn't hear her across the barrier, but she could see her, she was saying her name, and to not give up…

She cannot give in now, not after she had accomplished so much.

Not yet!

She might be paralyzed, but she can still use magic! She had to give it a try, she had to work hard, she had to try it out anyways!

She had magic… magic didn't need her body to be used! Her mana core was fine, her mind was active despite the paralysis… the venom had yet to reach her brain.

And she had her own unique ability, or well, the sickness.

The truth behind Vheslia's Void Stomach was actually sickness she was born with, Mana Stomach. A strange sickness that made her stomach absorb all her mana and make it difficult for her magic to be used properly as she had her mana drained constantly, making her mana recovery several times slower than others. Because of this, she could only conjure small spells through her childhood until she managed to develop a higher realm of cultivation.

In one of her experiments, she had tried to cure her Mana Stomach by using magic, trying to seal it using Shadow Magic, but instead of that, it ended fusing with it and became a Void Stomach… her stomach essentially became endless, and she even acquired the ability to eat anything and absorb their mana in a way… she could even eat mana cores and absorb their mana raw, and even artifacts.

Through this ability she was able to accumulate surplus mana through Void Stomach, even if the mana recovery she had was haltered even more… and even more, she even cheated her way through and made it possible to cultivate faster.

But such a dangerous ability was eating her insides, the void stomach was insatiable and constantly asked for more food, more food, and more food!

She couldn't satiate it, and this was slowly draining her life away, her lifespan was being reduced severely by this, and before meeting Frank, she didn't thought she would last longer.

However, as she met him and went through all sorts of adventures with him and everyone else, growing stronger through his System and more, she even developed her Mana Core amazingly, and even reached as high as Rank 10 now… of course, her Void Stomach didn't stayed as just that anymore!

Although it was no longer endangering her life, it was still a powerful ability, and this Void Stomach had ended becoming the Insatiable Void Stomach, an ability that allowed Vheslia to devour magic itself and more! It wasn't as overpowered as Frank's Gluttony, but it had become something similar and equally as broken in some areas!

And she developed it in secret, slowly cultivating it and feeding it… She had this now, she could use it now… she had a way to pull through…!

"I admit you're strong, but I am also packed with surprises." Said Vheslia.

"Hm? W-What?!"

TRUUUMMM!!!

Suddenly, a distortion in space startled Bernard as he tried to jump away, but was greeted by a small all-consuming void black hole coming directly from Vheslia's stomach!

The black hole caught Bernard's leg, as it began to suction him inside!

"Uaghh! W-What is this?! Nggh…! Let me go! Aggh!"

Bernard threw several knives at Vheslia but they were also absorbed by the black hole… and then…

CRACK!

"Uagh?!"

Bernard's leg which was trapped in there was completely consumed, crushed into bits by the pressure of the black hole!

"Y-You can do such a thing?! Were you saving this trump card?!" asked Bernard.

"Its not really a trump card because when I use it, I get all my vitality and divine energy drained… but its worth a shot, even if I risk killing myself too!" thought Vheslia, as manipulated her Void Stomach power around her body, and absorbed the poison paralyzing her!
