Chapter 391 - A small sun
Before Jack and the others had entered the place, it so happened that Ray was dealing with the two captains at the same time. He was able to dodge every single one of their strikes. One of them seemed to be using some form of martial arts and was fighting mainly with his fists. While the other was a spear user.
Every time, Ray would finally be able to knock one out, the other would stand up. Not only were they skilful but seemed to be resilient as well. When Ray tried to use his magic powers instead, they would often stop him beforehand. It was clear they had a lot of experience when it came to fighting.
However, this wasn"t the only reason why Ray was unable to deal with the nights quickly, his attention was focused all over the place, trying to figure what the best thing to do was and what surprised him the most, was his clone that was holding back the other VIP members and their guards.
It had been defeated and Ray wasn"t even able to see how. The clone contained fifty per cent of Ray"s strength. He thought that would be enough to deal with them. But it looked like the other kingdoms wasn"t as weak as Ray initially thought and some of them had brought quite the skilful guards with them.
A short while after, it was there that Jack and the others had arrived with Katy charging in with her group.
"What is all this?!" Russel asked. "Who are all these people? Send another message, where are the two remaining guards? Have them come in here immediately. I don"t care what"s happening outside. Every knight in this city needs to come here right now!"
Hearing this command, Ray decided to use his dragon eyes to take a peek outside. Ever since he had evolved his vision and senses had improved and he could tell right now, multiple people and the remaining two captains were heading this way.
"Jack I leave this place to you. I"ll make sure no one else makes it inside." Ray shouted as he stormed off.
"Leave it to me.??
Once Ray was outside he was able to see the number of people coming towards them... The two captains had two squads with about thirty soldiers each heading towards the auction house. However, there was an even bigger problem.
There were still a lot of people and merchants outside. Just like inside he wouldn"t be able to fight at his full strength, unless he was prepared to hurt all the others.
"Why do I care?" Ray thought. "The people that come here aren"t good people anyway."
Just then, a little girl holding a basket came up to Ray.
"Hey mister, would you like to purchase some cookies I made. You don"t have to pay at all! I just want to share them with everyone." She said with a sweet smile. She clearly didn"t understand the meaning of "purchase".
"You can"t be…serious." Ray thought.
"Little girl, move," Ray said in a menacing voice.
The girl broke down in tears as she quickly ran away, but it was for a good reason because soon everyone would be out of here.
[Skill activated Dragon"s Roar]
Stomping the ground and spreading his two feet wide. Ray took in a deep breath and belted as loud as he could a fearsome roar. Before when activating this skill he would try to suppress it as much as possible. Such a loud and menacing sound wasn"t possible for a human, but now he was trying his best to get everyone to go away.
What Ray didn"t realise was due to them being underground, the sound was magnified even further. It was so loud it could be heard through the entire town.
The merchant owners placed their hands over their ears, and the others in the town looked at each other in horror.
"What was that!"
"It must have been a beast!"
"I heard an explosion earlier as well, a beast must have come into the city."
"Did you hear that, it doesn"t seem weak either, I also saw all the knights running towards the auction house that must be where it"s at?"
Ray didn"t realise it but the effect of his roar had spread throughout the town. With rumours quickly spreading that a horrible beast had arrived. It was helped by the fact, they could see all the knights running towards the auction house in a panic.
Quickly, people started to gather their belongings and tried their best to leave the city of Drey as soon as possible.
The dragon"s roar had completed what Ray wished and now when looking in front of the auction house there wasn"t a single person that remained. They had all fled. Trying their best to leave the city.
Still, he managed to confirm with his dragon eyes that the army and two captains were still coming towards them.
"Now to get rid of you all as fast as possible. I"m going to need to borrow your power Avrion."
There was one reason why Ray could use his powers freely. It was all due to the fact that every member of the Redwing Army was connected. At any point and time, Ray could use the mana steal to anyone who had signed the contract.
[Fire energy skill activated]
[All fire based spells have been doubled]
Lifting both his hands in the air, he started to gather all the fire power possible using his remaining mana. Then slowly he started to use that of the members back in Avrion.
Suddenly, Slyvia felt weak, and so did several other members. "Ray," she said and clicked her tongue. "You"re causing trouble again aren"t you?"
As if he could hear what he was saying, right after he replied.
"I"m sorry, but it"s for a good cause."
The knights had finally arrived and in the distance, they could see a huge glowing orange object. The light could be seen from a while back as it was illuminating the whole town like some type of sun. However, they continued to move forward on their orders, but now standing in front of the auction house they could finally see.
A single man who held up what looked like a miniature version of the sun in his hands.
"Peris.h.!.+" Ray cried out as he chucked the giant ball of flames in the knight"s direction.
