Chapter 122 - Dark Guild leader
The arena was currently silent after witnessing what Morfran had just done. The students, Sir K and even Mathew. The reason for this was because they had just witnessed a human perform lightning magic.
Lightning magic was one of the rarest of rare abilities. They had been legends of humans once possessing it but until now no one who was alive had seen anyone perform lightning magic. Only legendary beasts had the power to wield an elemental power that was so powerful.
The one who was the most confused out of everyone was Sir K. Sir K had worked at the academy when Morfran was still an elder here. Morfran wasn't even a mage, he was a poorly skilled knight who rose to the top using underhanded methods. He couldn't believe that Morfran was hiding something like this. If Morfran truly had lightning abilities all along, he was the type of person who would have flaunted it in front of everyone.
Which meant only one thing. Somehow Morfran was able to gain lightning abilities. Sir K thought that this was even more impossible but it had to be the answer.
"Jake, Josh!" Slyvia cried as she saw her two brothers wriggling around in pain.
Morfran then lifted his hand at pointed it at the group of third years.
"Well, um Sir K I believe is what the students call you now? Are you going to call the elders or am I going to have to start taking out these students one by one?"
Sir K started to analyse the situation around him.
Morfran was currently stood in the centre of the arena with his body facing towards Sir K and all of the second-year students behind him apart from Slyvia. His right hand was pointing out towards all the third-year students. Mathew, Slyvia and Max were currently at the edge of the arena behind him. While Josh and Jake were at the entrance on the floor to the left of Morfran.
This meant they had no chance of escaping as Morfran was able to attack each group without having to move.
Sir K didn't know what to do, he knew that Morfran wouldn't let all the students leave and head back to the academy with him. Morfran was basically suggesting that Sir K went off on his own but Sir K also knew the elders must have decided to abandon the students long ago since no back up had arrived.
"Too slow," Morfran said as he shot another bolt of lightning out towards the third years.
The bolt was going directly for Nay but before the bolt could hit her, Jack had pushed Nay to the side taking the attack head-on. The bolt hit Jack dead on and Jack was flung back into the wall of the arena.
"Dam you!" Cherry said as she shot two arrows out at the same time.
Morfran decided to not move and grabbed each arrow in his hand and burnt the arrows to ashes.
"Everyone attack!" Mathew shouted.
Mathew could see that Morfran wasn't going to let them go and Sir K was struggling to make a decision, right now they needed to all work together if they had any chance of beating him.
Sir K snapped out of it and each group went forward to attack Morfran.
"So, this is your decision." Morfran sighed as each group was coming at him. "Let's deal with the annoying one first."
Morfran body again started to morph into a bright light and the next second he had disappeared.
"Where did he go?" Slyvia said.
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" they heard a scream come from the right of the arena.
Each group had turned to where the sound was heard and they could see Morfran had Cherry held up in the air with one hand. Cherry's entire body was shaking uncontrollably and eventually, Morfran dropped her to the ground.
Cherry's body wouldn't stop twitching while she was on the ground as if mini lightning bolts were constantly shocking inside her body.
"You bastard!" Nay said as she swung her whip out.
Morfran grabbed the whip with one hand.
"Bad idea."
Morfran then sent an electric shock running down the whip which eventually reached Nay causing a shooting pain through her body.
The shock didn't last for long, as the whip was suddenly cut in half by a black blade. Sir K had managed to come over and cut the whip but it was too late, Nay was no longer able to fight.
Two lightning bolts then came out fast heading straight for Sir K. Sir K swung his blade deflecting the Two blots causing them to hit the stands in the arena, rock and rubble exploded into the air.
Sir K then fell down to one knee. His body was still weak from the attack earlier and his Ki was out of control, if he pushed his body any more there was a good chance, he would end up being permanently damaged.
Morfran then lifted his arm aiming for Sir K once more but as he did a heavy chain came out of nowhere wrapping around his body. It was from Kyle.
"Didn't you learn from the last person," Morfran said as he held the chain with both hands.
Kyle then quickly threw the weighted part of his chain into the ground causing it to go a few inches deep into the arena floor.
"Now!" Kyle shouted.
At the same time, Harry and Gary hit the weight further into the ground. Allowing Morfran to be held and tied down by the chain.
This annoyed Morfran greatly as he shot two more lightning bolts in the direction of Harry and Gary, but before they could even hit, Slyvia had pushed the two out of the way and rolled just avoiding the lightning bolt. Slyvia was able to predict Morfran actions which surprised him.
Martha who was standing far away from everything had been charging all her Ki into an arrow this whole time. She had carefully studied Cherry's tornado shot and was doing her best right now to replicate it. She knew she would only have this once chance now that Morfran was unable to move.
Then when the time was right, she let go of her bowstring and the arrow flew out. As it did the arrow started to spin with such a great force a mini-tornado started to form.
