Chapter 48

Everyone remained silent, they have been still attempting to take in the whole thing that had just happened to them. Ray used to be currently questioning that it would possibly be exceptional to provide a contract to Slyvia. Before Ray wasn't certain as it regarded like Slyiva nevertheless had some loyalty to the academy due to her family.

But now she had considered a horrible side of the academy. This meant that she would be greater inclined to receive Ray's offer. Not only that but then Ray would have anyone underneath his command that had access to a high role in the academy. The solely component now was, would Slyvia accept?

Ray then opened up his repute display screen once greater and went to seem to be over his Red wings tab. There used to be now one extra identify there compared to before, which supposed Jack had been doing what he had asked.

Ray had performed around with the gadget a bit greater and determined out some greater things about the contract skill. In the system, he used to be able to supply sure shriveled humans extra privileges. One of these privileges used to be imparting contracts to different people.

And Ray had given Jack this precise privilege. The contract used to be still the same and they were all underneath the chief Ray. So even if Jack supplied a contract to someone, they wouldn't be under Jack but Ray. Under the tab now was once the name, Harry. Ray, of course, advised Jack to not mention that he used to be the chief and advised Jack if everybody asked to say it was once Nes.

As quickly as Ray gave permission to Jack, Jack may want to only suppose of one individual who was loyal to him and that used to be Harry. Harry had widely wide-spread which meant barring

even realising it, he used to be under the manage of Ray.

Ray concept that it may be exceptional if Jack invited Slyvia instead, that way if Slyvia said no, Ray wouldn't have to expose his identity.

While Ray used to be busy thinking about these things, Gary had eventually damaged the silence.

"They were surely going to kick us out, weren't they? After the whole thing we did for them, I don't even understand if I favor to be here anymore."

Everyone had comparable emotions to Gary now but it used to be distinctive for Ray who had by no means believed in the Academy in the first place, so in contrast to the others, he wasn't harm via this.

"But now Slyvia has a seat as an elder." Martha said, "Maybe matters can get better. I assume it's exceptional if we do not act on impulse."

Monk nodded displaying that he agreed with what Martha said.

"Do you actually think one elder is going to exchange anything!" Gary stated angrily. "They without a doubt had some thing against us all, possibly they are individuals of pureblood or contaminated by using the shadow plague."

"We cannot simply go around accusing human beings like that though," Dan said.

"What else can we do?" Gary replied, "Even Jasmine…" Gary paused for a brief moment as his voice croaked a little. "Even Jasmine who was once a expensive friend of mine grew to become out to be infected through the shadow plague."

Everyone knew that it must have been hard for Gary, no longer only used to be he the closest to Jasmine however he used to be the one who had killed her with his own two hands. As soon as he noticed that Ray was once in trouble, he had decided to bounce to assist without a 2nd thought.

"We cannot even go outdoor at the moment, there is nothing we can do," Martha said. "And assume of it this way, if what you say is genuine Gary, then Slyvia will need our help. The other Elders will be focused on her, maybe even planning to assassinate her. If we aren't there to shield her in this academy then who is?"

Unexpectedly Ray decided to step in.

"There's nothing we can do for now, let's get some sleep and we can decide tomorrow."

As soon as Ray spoke those very few words, everybody listened and did as he said. They all handled Ray like a leader, something Ray stated used to be the closing say on the matter, Ray did not be aware of this but the relaxation felt this way.

Ray had only said this due to the fact he had made up his mind. The academy was fragmented at the moment. Master knights and elders split. Perhaps this used to be the best threat for him to grow his influence and grow his military of the Red wings.

That night, all people used to be deep in sleep. Everyone aside from Ray had been demanding about this day for a total week and finally, at least they now knew they would no longer be kicked out of the academy.

As Ray used to be dozing silently, unknown to everyone, a Dark evil presence had managed to enter the room. It slowly began to stroll over to the students, till it in the end it stopped at Ray

The other snakes continued to attack him and Ray dealt with each one with a single blow. Once all the snakes were dealt with, there were still plenty of other creatures left that were coming after him. Crocodile like creatures, Giant Hornets, Mud golems and so on.

The beasts were just too easy for Ray to deal with, defeating all of them with his clone.

Behind one of the trees in the swamp was a brother and sister pair named Candy and Tuffy. They had just recently joined a guild and had become adventures. They were out hunting in the swamp for their first time when they heard a loud roar. The basic tier beast they were fighting suddenly ran off in the opposite direction.

Candy wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, she was afraid that it would be a high tier beast they wouldn't be able to deal with but Tuffy let his curiosity get the better of him. They had grown up near the swamp area their whole life, so he was confident he could outrun whatever beast they would come across in the swamp.

That's when the two of them spotted Ray and his clone. They hid behind the tree watching the adventurer deal with each creature with ease.

"They must both be at least A class adventures to deal with them like that?" Candy said.

"Oh please, he's clearly being reckless, he will tire out eventually," Tuffy replied.

The two continued to watch Ray fight the beats until eventually, they were none left. They stood there in awe, they wanted to run out and ask who the man was. It was best for them to be on good terms with an adventurer as powerful as this but they weren't sure if the adventurer would treat them kindly.

There were many stories of Na?ve adventures dying to bandits and so on. While the two were debating on what to do, they suddenly heard the man speak.

"You two can come out from behind that tree," Ray said

After hearing the adventures voice, Candy and Tuffy were wondering how on earth he was able to see them. The two of them were very confident in their stealth skills and they had approached the area when Ray was busy fighting the intermediate beasts.

Ray didn't have time to worry or look around in the swampy area to notice them. Of course, the reason why Ray had spotted them was because of his dragon eyes. It allowed him to see right through the tree they were hiding behind. Ray didn't worry about them as their auras weren't strong.

Suddenly, Tuffy decided to come out from behind the tree and immediately bowed down to Ray.

"I'm sorry we didn't mean to spy on you, we were going to help if you got into any kind of trouble sir."

Ray looked at Tuffy standing in front of him. At most the kid looked about 12. Ray was surprised that kids this young were out hunting in an area like this.

"What are you two doing out here?" Ray asked

Candy's heart started to beat faster as she was still hidden behind the tree. She was wondering if Ray knew she was there, and now it was quite obvious he did. Candy also then quickly came out and bowed down.

"We were out here hunting some basic tier beasts; we were completing a quest for our guild." Candy said. "Suddenly, the beast we were hunting ran away and we heard a loud roar come from this direction."

Ray didn't know much about how guilds or the human world worked. He had taken a different path than most, going straight from his town to being schooled in an isolated town, to finally ending up at Avrion.

This wasn't the typical route for most kids. Candy and Tuffy's parents were incredibly sick. They had no choice but to join a guild to complete some quest in exchange for some coin but their skills weren't great and at best all they could do was be careful and hunt basic tier beasts.

Ray then looked at his status screen. From battling the intermediate beast Ray managed to obtain around 10 intermediate crystals and he had defeated around 20 beasts. Meaning that 10 crystals still remained inside the beasts he had slain.

Ray then looked at the two kids in front of him. They weren't well dressed and their weapons and armour looked like they had been taken from a junkyard. Without realising it, Ray started to stare at Candy for a while.

Candy quickly hid behind her brother thinking that the adventurer was planning to do something to her. Ray then snapped out of it and opened up his endless void.

A space portal opened up next to Ray and he reached in to grab some equipment for the kids.

"Here take this." Ray then gave Tuffy a sword while also handing Candy a dagger. The two of them without hesitation accepted the items. This made Ray worry a little as they were too trusting even though they had just met him.

The equipment Ray had given them was from the martial arts hall. Ray had obtained many different weapons from there during the fight with the Dark guild, he had originally planned to sell most of it but it wouldn't be a big deal for Ray to give away a couple of basic tier weapons.

Tuffy was busy swinging about the new weapon. It was lighter and a lot sharper than the sword he was using before. While Candy immediately went to thank Ray.

"Thank you, sir."

"Don't worry about it, Amy."

"Amy… but my name's Candy."

Ray wanted to suddenly go crawl into a hole. He tried his best to avoid an awkward situation and started walking away from the two to carve out the crystals from the beast.

"Wait!" Tuffy called out running after the man. "We can't just take these things for free, let us help you."

Ray looked at all the beast's corpses around him. Carving a beast and taking out its core took a while and Ray didn't even know which ones contained a core or not. Even with the help of his clone, it would take some time.

"Fine, but you can only keep ten per cent of the cores you take out."

Candy and Tuffy's eyes lit up. They were actually offering to help for free and never expected a reward but this was something that they couldn't turn down. With their strength, they would have never been able to hunt down intermediate beasts unless it was already wounded from fighting something else.

The two of them got to work and went looking for Crystal cores as quick as they could. While Ray was busy carving one of the beasts, he was wondering why he was being so kind to them. Ray instinctively usually treated everyone he met as a danger but perhaps because these kids looked so powerless to him, he didn't feel any threat what so ever.

Just like how Human's saw ants. It was something he could deal with any time, so if the ants wanted to help Ray instead of hurting him, he would let them. Then Ray noticed that he kept looking in the direction of Candy.

He thought back to his slip up he had made earlier.

"Amy would have looked like her at that age."

Once they were done carving out the crystal cores the two kids handed Ray all of the crystals they could find and then Ray threw one of the cores back to them.

Tuffy couldn't stop staring at the shiny crystal core.

"What are you going to do now mister?" Candy asked.

Ray had enough crystals for himself to evolve but he needed more for Noir. The Dragon's roar buff had ended long ago and he could only use the skill once a day.

"If you want, we can lead you to some more hunting areas." Candy said, "We grew up around here so we know the area pretty well."

Although Ray had his dragon eyes skill it would only allow him to see so far and currently, he couldn't see any life around him.

"We have to be careful though," Tuffy suddenly said, "We need to make sure we stay out of the Mud Carb's territory."

"Mud Crab?" Ray said as his interest grew.

"Yeah, it's the strongest thing in this area."

Ray thought about the kid's suggestion for a little while before agreeing to their proposal. Ray needed to get stronger as quickly as possible and who knows how long it would take him to search the swamp for intermediate creatures.

The three of them then decided to move deeper into the swamp. While the kids wanted to do everything they could to avoid the Mud Crab, Ray had a different idea.

149 - Mud Crab

149 - Mud Crab

149 - Mud Crab

While Candy and Tuffy escorted Ray to a section of the swamp, Ray asked them several questions about this so-called Mud Crab. The Mud Crab was apparently the big boss of the swamp, similar to the winged beast that stayed on top of the mountain, only the Mud crab was a lot weaker.

In hunting areas, there was generally one creature that was stronger than the rest. The stronger the leader was the stronger creatures it would attract around it as well. If the leader was only an intermediate class, then that area would most likely only be filled with basic tier creatures.

This was the case of the Black forest that was near Ray's village when he was younger. The wolf Ray had slain was also the boss of the forest, which was why the forest was filled with only basic tier creatures.

From the description the kids were giving of the Mud Crab, Ray could guess what tier it was at. The kids could see that Ray wasn't taking them seriously. They were trying their best to talk about how scary the Mud Crab was.

"I promise you the mud Crab's shell is unbreakable," Tuffy said while Candy nodded in agreement.

"No one in our guild has been able to defeat it yet." Candy also added.

"Oh really?" Ray replied, "So let me ask you, what tier is this Mud Crab?"

"It's an advanced tier beast." Tuffy Replied.

Ray had to stop himself from blurting out with laughter. He had guessed that the beast might be a king or super tier but not advanced. The kids knew that Ray was strong but didn't think he was able to defeat an advanced tier beast. The difference between each tier for beasts were great.

Even if an army of basic tiers tried to defeat an intermediate tier, they would stand no chance and it was same going up the ranks.

If Ray was to guess his current strength right now, he would put it at that of the bottom of the king tier beasts. When Ray fought the minotaur underneath Avrion, Sir K was the one who had finished him off but if Ray was to fight it now, Ray thought he would most likely win.

So dealing with an Advanced tier Beast would be no problem for him.

The kids took Ray's silence as a small victory. They thought they had managed to convince Ray of how powerful the beast truly was but it was the opposite. Ray was hoping that the beast would be at least at the king level so he could see how much he had grown. Fighting against an advanced tier beast meant nothing to him at the moment.

"Nes, can I ask you a question?" Candy said politely.

"Go on."

"Why hasn't your brother said a word?" Candy asked while pointing to Ray's clone that was silently following them from behind.

"Oh, I completely forgot about him." Ray clicked his fingers and suddenly the clone vanished into thin air.

The kids rubbed their eyes thinking they were seeing things.

"It's a skill of mine."

Ray decided to de summon his clone as he realised there was a downside when using the clone. The clone would stay out as long as it was still alive but if Ray didn't deactivate the skill, his mana points would never increase above 50/100. It was as if his mana was constantly powering the clone.

"You mean you're a mage, wow that's so cool I've never seen one before!" Tuffy shouted. "But you look like a warrior?"

Ray laughed nervously.

"I'm a fighter mage, I use weapons and magic."

The kids seemed to be even more interested in Ray now.

Finally, the kids had led Ray to a part of the swamp that was mostly filled with just water. It looked like a giant lake of muddy water while the outskirts of it were filled with trees and vines. Inside the lake though, there were several green boulders.

"You see those there?" Tuffy said pointing at the boulder closest to them. "They're called Green clops, if you get close to them, they'll start moving all of a sudden. This place is perfect for anyone who is looking to train, as they only react when someone gets close. This way adventures can fight them one by one rather than a whole horde of them."

Ray started to walk towards the green boulder and just like Tuffy had said, the boulder started to shake and move. A single red eye had opened on the top part of the boulder and suddenly the boulder stood up. It was covered in mud making it difficult to see what its body looked like, all that could be seen was its giant red eye.

"Careful, there known for its hard…" Before Candy could finish her sentence Ray had punched the giant mud ball and caused rocks and mud to splatter all over.

Ray was pleased with the hunting area the kids had shown him. It was rare for creatures to bundle up like this unless it was in their nature like bee type creatures. Ray got lucky last time due to the Dragon roar attracting everything around him. So, for them to know of a place like this was practically a gold mine for him.

Ray continued going to the boulders dealing with each one as easy as he did the first. The kids got to work quickly as it was more difficult for them to find the Crystal cores due to the way Ray was dealing with them. Parts of the Green clops would splatter everywhere and into the mud, making it hard for the kids to find the right body part containing the crystal.

The muddy lake was gigantic and it looked like there were about 100 green boulders. After Ray had defeated 30 of them in the first half of the lake, he suddenly stopped. The kids were wondering what had happened.

It was simple though, Ray was no longer gaining any Intermediate crystals from the Green clops, so there was no need for him to continue killing beasts.

The kids thought Ray's actions were weird. He had defeated each of them with ease and didn't look like he was tired. If he continued to kill the beasts then he could go on to sell their crystal cores.

"Come on let's get out of here," Ray said.

Suddenly though, in the centre of the lake, a loud rumbling sound could be heard. Small waves were starting to be pushed out towards them.

"What going on!" Candy shouted.

Tuffy was too frightened to say anything, he was just shaking in fear pointing at the centre of the lake.

When Ray turned around to get a look at what was behind him, he saw a Giant Crab covered in mud. It was the Mud Crab.

Candy and Tuffy stood still with their bodies shaken from the sight of the Mud Crab. The Crab was as big as a house and its body was completely covered in mud apart form it's two claws.

"What are you two still doing here!" Ray shouted. "Get out of here!"

The kids tried to move but their legs just wouldn't listen to them. The Crab then reached out its big claw and tried to snap the two kids' bodies in half.

When the Crab's pincers had already surrounded the kids, all it needed to do now was close its claws.

*Snap

Candy screamed while Tuffy held on tight to her.

"Do you two want to die!?" Ray said as his two hands were held up against the two pincers.

The Crab was using all its strength to try to close its claws on the man in front of it like he had done to all those before but for the first time, the Crab was powerless. The Crab looked into Ray's eyes and it could genuinely feel the power emitting from them, it was scared.
