Chapter 124 - S cla.s.s
A few meters just outside the arena, Ray was currently riding on Noir"s back. He was using his dragon eyes skill to see what was happening in the arena. When he did it was worse then he thought. There was a single strong presence standing in the arena.
His aura was nearly five times the size of everyone else in there. While everyone else"s aura was dimly lit, as if it was a small flame that could go out at any second. What was strange about the strong aura in the centre though, was it was a normal yellow colour.
Ray had expected the Aura to have a tint of purple just like the other members of the Dark Guild but this person didn"t. While Ray was moving closer to the arena he de summoned Noir and decide to sneak in using his shadow skill.
He went through the reception area and could see the chaos everywhere.
"How could people kill their own kind like this so easily." Ray thought as he looked at a civilian on the ground that didn"t even have a weapon or any armour on. "She wasn"t even a fighter."
Then Ray"s eyes seemed to trigger something happening in the arena, one of the smaller auras was still burning brightly. Now that Ray was a lot closer he could get a better look at the aura and recognised it well.
It was from Jack. Jack"s aura was slightly different from everyone else"s as his Ki seemed to be always active and spread throughout his body. While a normal person"s aura would appear more flame-like in the centre of the stomach.
From far away Ray could only see the different colours and not see so clearly but looking at the situation now it was clear to Ray that Jack it was Jack.
Ray had entered the arena just as Jack was being stabbed through the stomach. Ray didn"t have any sentimental feelings for Jack but seeing the image of one of his followers getting stabbed reminded Ray of the past.
Ray moved over to where Jack was as quick as possible trying his best to be unnoticed, then when it was the right time, he gathered all of his Ki into his gauntlet and slammed it into Morfran"s chest.
Sending him flying across the arena and into the wall.
"Who is that guy?" Mathew asked as he heard Slyvia call his name.
"I don"t really know him, I met him once outside, he"s just an adventurer."
Mathew could only a.s.sume that Nes was an S cla.s.s adventurer. While the others struggled to even put a scratch on Morfran"s chest piece, he had Just witnessed this Nes person punch Morfran across the arena but that was strange. surely someone as powerful as this in the Allure kingdom would have their name spread throughout the land.
Ray then walked up to Jack who was on the ground and still had the spear stuck in his stomach, although the injury looked bad Ray could see that Jack"s aura was still burning strong. Ray grabbed the end of the spear with his two hands.
"This is going to hurt."
Jack smiled and replied.
"I had it shoved through my body once already, surely it couldn"t be more painful."
Ray then lifted Jack up on his feet he pushed the spear further into his body and as he did Jack"s face twitched a little but no sound was heard. Something like this would usually make a man scream in pain but Jack hated showing weakness.
Ray then broke off one end of the spear where the head was and pulled out the rest of it in one motion, there was now a small hole that could be seen through Jack"s body.
What happened next though amazed Ray even more. The aura around Jack"s body started to appear more concentrated around the wound and as Ray was looking at the small whole, it seemed to be already healing.
Jack clearly didn"t have a normal body Ray thought.
"Thank you but who are you?"
"You owe me your life remember? well, guess now you owe me two lives."
Jack"s face was slightly confused but then it hit him. Jack took a closer look at Nes, the man didn"t look the same but without a doubt, there had only been one person who had saved his life.
"You mean your R…"
Before Jack could finish his sentence, Ray placed his hand over Jack"s mouth."
"Shhh, you must keep this a secret."
Jack nodded his head and understood.
Just then a large human-sized rock came launching at the two them. Ray reacted instantly punching the rock and causing it to break down into a hundred little pieces.
****
When Morfran was. .h.i.t by Ray he had been knocked back so far he had hit the arena wall but not only that, the strike was so powerful that Morfran had been completely pushed through the wall to the outside of the arena.
Morfran was currently lying down on the floor wondering what on earth had happened.
"Dam these people keep coming one after another!"
Morfran then got up and walked over to the arena wall where there was a human-shaped hole. In anger, Morfran punched the wall as hard as he could causing a large piece of the arena to come off and go off in the direction of Ray.
"Now who on earth has decided to ruin my fun," Morfran said as he walked into the arena.
Morfran then lifted both of his hands and shot out two lightning bolts at Ray. As the lightning bolts came towards Ray he was ready to retaliate back by punching them.
Everyone in the arena could see what Ray was planning to do.
"Don"t Ness!" Slyvia shouted. "His attacks are too powerful."
Although everyone had seen Nes"s strength they still knew the true strength of Morfrans lightning strike. A magic attack was completely different compared to a normal attack. To be able to take on the attack like that head-on, you would need a crazy amount of Ki. Even Jack who had the most Ki out of all of them was shot back into the wall.
The two thunderbolts came at him and Ray punched them in return. As soon as the thunderbolts made contact with Ray"s fist they burst into sparks of electric, like a mini firework.
"How is that possible?" Mathew said.
Jack knew Ray was strong but not this strong. Jack had only seen Ray fight a day ago so how did he get strong so quick?
"So this is the power of a 120 Mana points?"
