Chapter 240 240 War Against The Knights 8

"X-Xethen Empire..." the man mumbled.

'Xethen Empire...they are responsible for this attack, so Draco is working for Xethen Empire, I don't believe this' Ray pondered inwardly.

'Hey, we have a problem' Kaan shouted.

'What's wrong?'

'Over there, I'm sensing my master over there, at the knight academy, how is he able to cover that distance in a matter of seconds' Kaan was surprised.

"Teleportation...they have someone on their side with that ability, we have to hurry back before Draco attacks" Ray shouted.

'Who is he talking to, is he talking to himself, my leg is injured so I can't run, I should at least get away from him but these ropes are stopping me' the man struggled to break free.

'Kill this idiot, he's trying to get away, and we need more blood, with every blood the spear absorbs it becomes stronger till you can be able to awaken fully'

Ray looked towards the man on the ground struggling to break free from his [dark bind], the man noticed Ray looking at him and stopped.

"I've told you what you need to hear, and it's the truth, let me go please" the man pleaded.

"How do I know it's the truth, you may be trying to start a war with that information," Ray said and raised his spear.

"It's the truth, I'm from Xethen Empire, we were told to follow a group of men because they were given a mission by his Royal Highness to destroy Avalon, we were given orders to follow them" the man shouted.

'He's telling the truth, why are you still asking?'

'I'm not angry anymore so I can bring myself to kill him' Ray said inwardly.

'Really...you know they attacked you just now, they were trying to kill you, and if they succeeded they would walk all the way to Avalon to continue their mission'

'Screw it, you are just unlucky' Ray mumbled and plunged the spear into the man's stomach.

The binds on the man's body faded away along with the cloak, after the spear drained the man dry, Ray turned around and ran towards the academy.

'This isn't the way back, you are going sideways instead of backwards'

'I'm running towards Silver, he's going to take me back'

Silver ran after the mage, and if Silver is far away Ray wouldn't be able to retrieve him back into the system, so Ray was trying to move close to Silver then he would return him and summon him again.

After a few seconds of running Ray stopped, he was completely out of breath and gasping for air.

'Why I'm I this tired, this isn't normal' Ray muttered.

'You haven't fought in a war before so it's normal, though you didn't do much but you used a lot of powers in a short period of time so it's normal to be exhausted'

'How am I going to fight if I'm tired and Draco is already close to the academy by now, I don't know where the knights hid the second scroll but I think he can sense it'

'He's not the one able to sense the scroll, it must be my master, we need to go now, do something about your condition' Kaan said.

[Summon]

Ray mumbled but nothing happened, this meant Silver was still far away, if Silver had defeated the mage he should be able to return back to Ray unless he was killed.

​ Ray looked straight at his pet information and it was still there meaning Silver wasn't dead, Ray calmed down as he saw it, then he looked at his stamina.

His stamina was also depleted so he needed rest for him to recover and time was not on his side, if Draco was to attack he would surely be here with his other men.

And Ray had seen the amount of power they possess, Ian was able to stop Authur from passing when they were at the mage academy, though Authur defeated him he would still be hard to beat.

[Void]

Ray quickly opened his Void as he remembered something vital, he hasn't used the high-level crystal that he obtained from the Minotaur he fought.

'How did you obtain a high-level crystal, did you steal it?' Kaan asked.

'I'm stronger than you think' Ray replied as he swallowed the crystal.

[Stamina replenished]

[Evolution: 100/500]

"I haven't received a notification like this for a long time, even if my stamina is refilled the system doesn't tell me...time to go" Ray mumbled and took a step forward.

Immediately a sharp pain enveloped his body and he couldn't take a step forward, his head throbbed and all the bones in his body weaken that he couldn't keep himself standing.

Ray dropped to his knees with his hands on the ground as he tried to endure the throbbing pain he felt in all parts of his body.

After a while, his breathing became steady and slowly the pain washed away and he slumped to the ground.

Both of his spears had dropped from his hands as he fell, now that the pain was gone he was feeling a little stronger.

"It's been long I felt this way, I usually don't swallow crystals anymore because I don't have access to hunt beasts, and most beasts are now infected"

Ray's body jolted up as he noticed someone running towards him, he quickly stood up then he saw Silver running towards him, Silver thought Ray was dead so he increased his speed and Ray stood up from the ground.

Ray's face curved into a smile as he saw Silver, he wouldn't need to run anymore, Silver jumped on him as soon as he arrived making both of them fall to the ground.

"Hey boy, we don't have time to joke around, can you take me back to the academy?" Ray asked and Silver wagged his tail.

Ray quickly jumped on Silver and Silver dashed towards the academy, both of Ray's spears appeared in his hands as they raced back.

'So that's what happened when you swallow crystals?'

'Not always, just sometimes' Ray replied.

'We should hurry up, he's now moving, I doubt there would be any knights who would be of help' Kaan said.

'The senior knights are powerful they would be able to stop him, and they can go all out because nobody would be affected' Ray said.

'That is if the senior knights are still alive, half of the knights would most likely be dead, if not for that lady mage spell, all the knights might be dead'

'I doubt that's the case, besides Draco wouldn't be able to get the scroll unless all the knights are dead' Ray said.

'Why do you think he launched a full-scale attack... because he aims to clear the knight academy and kill everyone, that's why he teamed up with those weaklings from Xethen or whatever it's called'

'That means Xethen Empire is trying to defeat Avalon, and they are being very careful so they wouldn't be suspected, and if Avalon is removed from the picture, the other kingdoms wouldn't stand a chance'

'Maybe even Avalon wouldn't stand a chance, what if the knight academy is just a bargaining strategy' Kaan spoke.

'I don't understand, explain?'

'If Xethen successfully captures the academy, then they can make a deal with the rest of the kingdom, give me warriors to fight, or if I defeat Avalon I'll come for you next, something like that'

'I doubt that would work, the other kingdom knows Avalon is stronger'

'If Avalon is stronger Xethen wouldn't be able to capture a whole city from them, a city containing nothing but knights and women, and other kingdoms would know about the infected beasts and think Xethen have control over them when it's not true'

'Shit...we really need to stop this attack for the future of Avalon and the world'
