Chapter 134 - Mighty Storm
The storm over Avrion city was heavy, the worst one they had experienced in years. The raindrops were the size of marbles and the wind was strong. The knights outside on guard duty could barely see further than ten meters in front of them.
Ray thought this was the perfect day for them to leave the city. Behind the alleyway, Ray had opened up his status screen and went over to a specific tab. Of course, the others had no clue what Ray was doing and could only see him standing there in silence but Ray was so focused they were too afraid to say anything.
Ray selected on all three of their names and all of sudden it was as if their minds where linked. Without speaking, Ray was able to communicate to all of them using telepathy.
"It's time to start the plan, are you all ready?"
"Ready!"
Although Ray had told the others his plan, he hadn't fully explained. A lot of the members were sceptical whether or not it would work. The reason for this, of course, was Ray had omitted a lot of the details. He had mainly just told them that they would use Badger and Sloth.
Badger suddenly came out running towards the guards by the back entrance screaming.
"You have to help! Please! My brother, he's been taken by a magical beast!"
One of the guards then approached Badger.
"Inside the city? Lead me to where you last saw him. I will call some knights to help."
Although one of the guards had agreed to leave the gate, there were still 4 on the wall and one standing by the gate. For their plan to be successful, they needed all the guards to leave their station.
Then all of sudden, a large wolf-like creature could be seen running towards the gate. The guards were slightly panicked as they could see the wolf had a boy held between its fangs.
"Brother!" Badger shouted.
The wolf of course was Noir. Ray had summoned her earlier and the boy inside of Noirs mouth was Sloth. Noir was only gripping hard enough to hold Sloth in her mouth without hurting him.
The wolf had caught the attention of all the guards at the gate. Noir then jumped onto the city wall and ran past all the guards at the speed of light. On instinct, all the guards went to follow her to save the boy.
"They're gone," Jack said as he watched from a hidden area.
"Alright let's go," Ray said.
Straight away all 8 of them ran out into the rain and towards the city wall. As they reached the gate, they suddenly noticed all the guards had disappeared.
"Where did they go?" Monk asked.
"Like I said I just got Badger and Sloth to ask for help to call them away."
Although Gary and a few of the others weren't convinced, they didn't care. They were more concerned about finding the Divine Being. Ray and Gary pulled two levers that were positioned on either side of the iron gate.
The gate started to lift slowly and each member ran through one by one. Once everyone had gotten through the gate, Ray and Gary followed.
"Jack, close the gate and let me know if something happens."
"You got it, boss."
Now that they had finally exited the city, there was no need for the guards to chase Noir any longer. Ray de summoned Noir causing Sloth to fall to the ground. Noir had long outrun the guards but they continued their chase in hopes that they would find the boy alive.
Finally, they could see the boy lying on the ground.
"What happened?" A knight asked.
The wolf suddenly let me go and jumped out over the city wall." Sloth explained while pretending to be hurt. Badger had just arrived at the scene and quickly ran over to his brother and hugged him tightly.
"Oh Brother, I'm glad you are still alive," Badger said as if he was in a dramatic movie.
Jack was watching the two from the side lines and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He was happy that Ray had given the twins this role and not him, as he couldn't imagine himself performing something like that.
The group continued running through the blazing storm, but their visibility was poor. To get to the mountain the group needed to go through a forest but the storm was so heavy that no one could see where they were going.
"Are you sure we're going the right way?!" Dan shouted as his voice could barely be heard through the storm.
"I know where I'm going!" Ray replied. Ray didn't need to see clearly. He was able to use his dragon eyes to navigate through the forest.
What bothered Ray was the magical beast at the top of the mountain they were heading for. Last time Ray had seen the beast was when he went to the foothills which were located a little bit away from where they were now. The beast was resting peacefully on a mountain top at that time.
Ray had no clue why the beast was currently at this specific mountain top as there had been no records of the beast having moved. Usually, the beast didn't act as long as students didn't enter its territory but for some reason, the beast had moved over to this mountain.
Not only that but Ray could see the beast was circling around the mountain and its aura was burning widely. It was as if something had upset the magical beast. Then a thought came to Ray's mind, was the storm and the beast's activity linked?
Ray knew the beast on top of the mountain was at least a super tier, perhaps even higher. It was quite possible that the beast itself was producing the storm.
Although Ray had grown much stronger then when he met the beast last time, it was quite clear to him that he would have no chance if the two of them fought.
