Chapter 111 - Attack on Avrion
Wilfred had quickly realised why Jack and Ray had rushed into the arena. Wilfred felt like a fool for not noticing something was strange earlier. Wilfred was now quite a far distance away from Geo's position as he tried his best to move Jack as far away as possible. Wilfred's only hope now was that Sir K would be able to stop Geo in time.
Although Ray and Sir K were no longer fighting, Sir K was hurt more than he thought from Ray's attack. As he tried to move, Sir K could tell his internal organs were badly hurt.
This meant Ray was currently the closest person who was able to help Ian out. As Ray went to take a step forward though, two girls had come forward and stood right in the middle of his path, each holding a metal fan in their hand. They were familiar faces…they were the third-year students who went up against Sloth and Badger, Violet and Aqua.
Ray scanned them with his dragon eyes and it was as he thought, they too were infected with the shadow plague.
"Leave them to us!" A voice from behind was heard.
As Ray looked behind him. He could see that it was Badger and Sloth. As soon as they saw Ian get hit with the axe, they knew something was wrong. They had responded the quickest, rushing to the scene first.
"Thank you," Ray said as he ran straight forward.
The two sisters tried to attack Ray with their metal fans but before they could hit Ray, the two twins had stopped their attacks.
"You really think you can take us on?" Violet said.
"You already lost to us once, you'll just lose again," Aqua said.
Then at the same time, Badger and Sloth responded.
"This time we're together and we never lose together."
Ray had gotten even closer to Ian but for some reason, it seemed like Geo was taking his time. Like he wanted Ray to get closer and then when Ray was finally close enough, that was when he would finish Ian off.
What Geo didn't know was that Ray had a trick up his sleeve. When he was just close enough, he would put all his Ki power into the tip of his toes and blast off right into Geo. Ray needed to wait until he was at the right distance.
After a few feet, more Ray would finally be close enough. Suddenly, a long sword came swinging out from the side. Ray managed to see the sword just in time and ducked under the attack. When he looked up to see who it was, it was another person from the third-year group, Arthur.
Arthur too had been infected by the shadow plague. Ray couldn't help but think something worse was about to happen. All of these people showing up now to just take out one person didn't make sense.
They had been keeping it a secret for this long so why reveal it all now? Arthur then took another swing at Ray but before it could even reach him, it was stopped mid-air by a spear.
"You duck out of a fight with me, only to come in now?!" Dan shouted. "Let's see you run away from this!"
"Ray quickly go! I'll deal with him. And I'm sorry about everything I said before, just save Ian please!"
Geo looked like his head was going to explode with anger. All these people coming in to help Ray infuriated him. There was now no need for him to stall any longer. Geo lifted his axe and swung it down towards Ian's head.
Ray was still too far away. Even with him using all his Ki to give him a speed boost, he knew he wouldn't make it in time.
As Geo swung his axe down though, he suddenly felt a sharp pain feeling in his stomach. The area around his stomach slowly started to feel warm. As he looked down, he could see that two blades had pierced right through him.
Geo turned around and could see a blonde boy behind him. It was from Harry. Harry then pulled the blades out of Geo's stomach and sliced off at Geo's neck, finishing him.
"I will always have you back Jack," Harry said smiling.
Everyone felt relieved as they saw Harry defeat Geo but that only lasted a short while. After seeing one of their own being defeated, the infected students had no reaction and continued to fight.
Suddenly, screams were heard from the crowd in the arena. As they looked up at the arena, they could see many knights fighting with hooded men dressed in black. People were screaming and running around trying to get away.
As the citizens would pass the hooded men in black, they would be slashed and attacked.
"What on earth is happening?" Kyle said as he looked at the chaos.
Wilfred then pulled out a special green looking crystal. As he spoke into it, his voice was being projected to the whole city.
"Knights, we are under attack from the Dark Guild. Protect the citizens at all cost. Make sure the elders are escorted to safety. This is not a drill. The arena has been invaded by the Dark Guild."
Wilfred had noticed the clothing of the men straight away. He knew this was no simple small attack.
As soon as Ray had heard those words, he went to scan the whole arena with his dragon eyes skill. Everywhere he could see auras of purple flames. Then a thought came to his mind…the medical bay.
When Ray looked through the arena floor down into the medical bay, the sight shocked him. It was the place with the most people with purple flames of aura.
"Kyle!" Ray shouted. "Go down to the medical bay. Slyvia, Monk, Gary, Martha…they're all in trouble down there. Hurry!"
Kyle was closest to the entrance to the arena; he hadn't moved while all the chaos was happening as he was stunned by everything. As soon as he heard Ray's voice, he quickly snapped out of it. He had to go help his friends.
Kyle quickly Ran through the arena entrance and headed down for the medical bay.
