All of a sudden, the Black knight could now see two of the same person. The only logical conclusion he could come to was that Ray had to be using an illusion spell. He had already shown he could cast magic spells so an illusion spell wouldn"t be out of the realm of possibilities.
The black knight then readied his sword unsure of which one was the real person. In the end, he decided to take a guess and attacked Ray.
Ray blocked the attack with both his gauntlets and was keeping the man busy.
"It looks like I attacked the right one." The Black knight said.
Then suddenly. Ray"s clone started to run past the Black knight and towards were the other two were fighting.
"Run, Get off the bridge!" Ray shouted to the others.
Jack, Gary, and Ray"s clone immediately di as they were told and began to run to the entrance of the tunnel as fast as they could while leaving the Black knights on the bridge.
Suddenly, the Black knight could see a smile on Ray"s face.
"No you mad man, you"ll fall down with us!" The Black knight shouted.
But it was already too late. Ray had gathered all of his remaining Ki into his two gauntlets and slammed on the ground causing the stone bridge to immediately break.
The others including Ray"s clone had already made it to the other side and were currently watching The Black knights including Ray, plummet into the black hole.
As the three Black knights were free-falling in the air with Ray, the knight closest to Ray said.
"If we survive this, I promise I"ll kill you down there."
Ray then smiled once again.
"Oh, I"m afraid I won"t be coming with you."
Ray then activated his swap skill, swapping him and his clone"s position. Once the swap was complete, Ray de summoned his clone. To the Black knights, it looked like Ray had suddenly vanished right in front of their eyes.
"But how?" The Black knight said.
Back up at the entrance of the tunnel, the group was also confused by what had just happened. They had not only just seen two Ray"s but one of them had fallen into the dark pit.
"Err Ray?" Gary asked? "Is it you?"
"Come on, we can"t waste any more time."
Gary jumped back in shock as soon as Ray had replied. They wanted to ask Ray what he did but decided to just leave it, by this point they were already used to Ray performing strange skill after skill.
Badger and Sloth were now able to at least move but wherein no condition to fight.
"Why would the Black knights attack us?" Badger asked.
"Most likely they are members of Pureblood," Ray replied, "Remember what you told me about Morfran, He mentioned something about his boss but isn"t he the leader of the Dark Guild? He shouldn"t have a boss and then there was that letter we found. It all confirms it, that the Pureblood, Dark Guild and Shadow plague are working together."
The party continued to hurry onward making sure to close all the Iron doors behind them. Although it may not slow down the Dark guild or Pureblood members, at least it would stop the city from being attacked by any High tier beast. They already had enough problems on their plate.
They had eventually made it back up to the red door and as they did, they all felt like a huge burden had been lifted from their shoulders. A simple curiosity of Ray"s turned into a h.e.l.lish nightmare adventurer but they had learned a lot on that trip.
Before pa.s.sing through the Red door, Ray took on the appearance of Nes the Red wings leader. Just outside Slyvia and Von stood there waiting for them. Ever since they got the message from Ray, they couldn"t help but worry.
Once they had pa.s.sed through the Red door, Ray immediately went up to Slyvia.
"The Dark Guild is going to use the tunnels for an attack." Ray said, "And it looks like the Purebloods are on the move as well. We need to inform everyone as quickly as possible. Where is Sir K and Wilfred."
"I informed them of what you told me." Slyvia replied, "As soon as I did they immediately headed down below to protect the Divine being."
"I suppose that is for the best, Von, have all your best men guard the exit of the tunnels, any moment now they could be an attack and Slyvia I need you to get me to the highest point at Avrion."
When Ray had entered the tunnels, he had found out that there were not only two entrances that led to the underground tunnels but several. Many of them had been newly made most likely by the Dark guild in preparation for this attack.
Ray didn"t have time to go around the city and check for entrances so he needed to be up high were his Dragon eyes would be able to see the whole city.
"That will be hard," Sylvia replied, "Only students are allowed in Avrion at the moment. We suspect Gibby is a member of the pureblood and is working with the Dark guild but he has required the knights to be on strict guard. It"s lax here because of Von but it gets worse the higher we go. If they spot you inside the academy for even a second there will be a man hunt for you "
Ray thought about what he should do for a while and then he had finally made his decision. This would most likely be the city"s last battle, there wouldn"t be much left this time and after this, he would make sure to get rid of every member of Pureblood and the Dark guild that plagued this city.
Then finally it meant there was no longer a reason for him to stay, which also meant there was now no longer any need for Ray to hide his ident.i.ty.
"Will this be okay," Ray said as he canceled his transformation and reveled to Slyvia and Von who he really was.
