Chapter 112 112 Teleportation

*Putchi*

The head of the bear was divided from the rest of its body and it fell to the ground. Alfred and Authur rushed toward the beast but it was already dead.

"The beast is getting away" James shouted.

The three senior knights quickly pursue after Ray as he ran away, Ray ran with full speed, he didn't deactivate his [blood rage] so he could outrun the senior knights.

Ray ignored the system prompt as he ran towards where the first carriage went, he had a plan and all he need to do was to outrun the senior knights.

As soon as the bear was killed, the fog which was getting thicker began to slowly disperse.

As the knights continued chasing after Ray it got to a time when they could see themselves because the fog was clearing away.

But they still couldn't see Ray as he was ahead of them so they infused more Ki and increased their speed, Ray was also running at top speed because of his [Blood rage].

"I think we should go after the senior knights, maybe the beast has been killed," Gabriel said to Leia.

"If the beast has been killed, then we should wait for them, the senior knights can protect themselves," Leia said.

"I'm talking about Ray, I wonder if he's okay"

"That's his business, I'm tired of standing I'm going to sit in the carriage," Leia said.

"Leia did Ray offend you, I can sense that you are angry with him, what happened?" Gabriel asked her.

"Nothing, and why would I be angry at Ray" Leia shouted and walked towards the carriage.

'When Ray gets back I'm going to ask him, I know something is wrong, I just hope he's okay'

After running for a while Ray was starting to get really tired, he was sweating and his HP was still reducing gradually because of his [Blood rage].

Ray sensed Gabriel close by and knew he was close to the carriage, he was going to try and transform without the senior knights seeing him and without Gabriel seeing him.

Ray knew if he stopped to transform then the senior knights would catch up with him and the fog was slowly catching up with him, soon enough the fog was going to clear away and if it did then it's all over.

If the senior knights chase him far away from the carriage and eventually stop, they would return back and discover that he was gone, and there was no explanation for him leaving.

Ray stopped a few meters away from where Gabriel was, only the fog was making Gabriel unable to see him, Ray quickly summon Silver.

"Try to attack the knights and then escape" Ray whispered to Silver and quickly he moved into action.

Silver turn around and ran towards the senior knights, Ray opened his [Void] first and kept both of his blood spears in.

"Something else is coming" James shouted.

"A wolf," Alfred said.

The three senior knights stopped and ready themselves, soon they could see Silver running towards them.

"Wait, isn't that the wolf that was at the survival camp," Authur said.

"It's the same one, the beast is trying to buy time so he could escape," Alfred said.

"Not this time" James shouted and changed his direction and instead of waiting he ran towards where Ray was.

Silver saw James running towards Ray and wanted to go after him, but Alfred and Authur were already running towards him, so he had no choice but to run inside the forest.

"Chase after it," Authur told Alfred.

Alfred followed Silver into the forest while Authur followed James to back him up.

Ray had bought the time he needed, he first deactivated his [Blood rage] and then transformed back into his human self with his clothes, he left his sword behind but that wasn't a problem.

Alfred who was chasing after the wolf was slowly catching up when suddenly a white light enveloped the wolf and he stopped to see what would happen.

To his surprise the white light shone brightly and when it stopped the wolf had vanished right in front of him.

Ray quickly exited the fog and ran towards Gabriel, Gabriel was thrilled to see him and called on Leia.

After a second, two of the senior knights also ran outside of the fog and looked around but found Gabriel and Ray, Leia was also walking towards them.

They quickly left the students and ran into the forest.

"What was that all about?" Gabriel asked Ray.

"I don't know, maybe they were chasing after something," Ray said.

"What happened, I thought you were with the senior knights?" Gabriel asked.

"No, I was lost in the fog, but when it started to clear away I could find my way so I ended up seeing you here, I had no idea the senior knights were behind me," Ray said.

Ray was drenched with sweat and was breathing heavily due to the amount of strength and skills he used when fighting the bear, most especially his [blood rage]

He was shocked to see his HP reducing 10 at a time, he thought it was 1 at a time.

"What just happened?" Authur asked James.

"I don't know, we could clearly sense the beast and after a while, it was gone just like that, maybe it has some sort of teleportation spell," James said.

"I don't think that's the case, how can a beast be able to teleport," Authur said.

Both of them heard footsteps approaching but they knew it was Alfred, they had sensed his Ki.

"What happened, did you capture or kill the beast?" Alfred asked.

"No it vanished, it looks like he had a teleportation spell," James said.

"What happened with the wolf?" Authur asked Alfred.

"It also vanished right in front of me, a white light enveloped it and then it vanished," Alfred said.

"This is what happened back at the survival camp when we captured this beast," Authur said.

"Why does it feels like the beast is following us, when we were at the survival camp it was there, and now here," Authur said.

"I don't think that's the case, the beast didn't attack us but instead it attacked the infected bear and after killing the bear it escaped," Alfred said.

"You are right, the beast didn't show up when we fought with the normal beast, and back at the survival camp all the beasts that attacked us were infected," James said.

"So the beast shows up and kills all the infected and then disappears, that's absurd," Authur said.

"We should head back and see if the students are okay," Authur said.

Ray, Gabriel, and Leia were seated in the carriage, Ray had come up with a good lie to tell the senior knights, the fog had died out and the paths were now cleared.

The door to the carriage opened and Alfred looked inside, the students were there.

"Did anyone get hurt?" Alfred asked.

"No Sir" they answered.

"Ray" Authur called out.

Ray exited the carriage and met Authur speaking with the riders.

"I heard you got lost in the fog?"

"Yes Sir, I didn't enter the carriage on time and I chased after it but I got lost in the fog," Ray said.

"So how did you find your way?" James asked.

"I just kept walking forward near the forest, then suddenly the fog began to clear little by little, and then I found my way to the carriage".

"Hope you didn't get injured?"

"No Sir" Ray said.

"Okay, you can go," Authur said.

Ray returned back to the carriage and was met with questions by Gabriel, the senior knights went a little far from the carriage and began to discuss.

"Something is up," Authur said.

"What..."

"When the two mages attack the survival camp, they came looking for Ray, and when we captured the beast back at the survival camp, Ray was missing"

"So you are saying that Ray had something to do with it," James said.

"I also suspected that when he came back to the survival camp, how will a beast capture a human and then release them just like that, it's strange," Alfred said.

"Now that you pointed it out, I think you are right, humans and beasts can't stay together without battling, except the human is a tamer that has successfully tamed the beast," James said.

"So Ray has something to do with all this, even if he has nothing to do with all this he must know something, that would be why those mages were looking for him," Authur said.

"When we get to the capital, we should meet a mage and cast a spell on him, and ask him everything we need to know," Alfred said.

"That seems like a good plan, we should continue the journey, we need to arrive today," Authur said and the knights headed back to the carriage.
