Chapter 12

"Renny city is where we send all our new recruits, you will be beneath training there for Ten years until you attain 15. The aim is to center of attention on your education and fundamental fitness skills. Only then will you be capable to attend Avrion Academy and center of attention on swordsmanship."

With this, I was a little saddned, however what they had said made sense. I determined that I would take this probability to analyze about the world. Afterall information was once key for me. There had been many things I wanted to discover out and perhaps this would give me my answers.

After that, the conversation had settled down a little and then Bernado informed us to get some sleep. I was sharing a tent with Gary. We were both lying on the floor and just as I used to be about to shut my eyes I heard Gary say something.

"I'm sorry," Gary said.

"What for?"

"For everything that I did to you at the village, the name-calling, the throwing, everything. I was an idot,"

"Although I don't disagree, don't blame yourself too much," I stated with a smile on my face.

"Amy informed me you had been a great guy, but I did not trust her. Then when you saved us that day, you could have simply left us however you didn't, so thank you." Gary stated whilst bowing down his head.

"Don't forget you saved me as nicely from that wench. Nobody stood up to her however you, a mere five-year-old was once fearless and stood in the front of her."

"Arent you the same age?" Gary stated confused.

"Ha, ha, ha Yes," I stated laughing nervously.

"If someone is troubling you, you can count number on me," Gary said with a big grin on his face.

"Don't worry too much, the curse of the Red dragon Sen will do that job for me."

Gary's facial expression changed, he was once making an attempt to hold a smile but I could see he was a little anxious by means of my words.

I gave a thumbs up to him as a response and rapidly went to sleep.

I used to be amazed at what Gary had said. I wasn't watching for someone so stubborn to come and apologise.

In return Gary, you will not be on my list, however I'm afraid we cannot be buddies for my purpose is exclusive from yours. We have lived in two different worlds and I can not forgive your type effortlessly for what they have carried out to mine.

What I have learnt in my brief time as a human, is that no longer all people are the same, but something desires to change.

Once I have learnt the way the present day world works and have come to be effective enough. That will be the turning point for the human race. I will use the power I have been granted by the gadget to get strong. To defend these that I care about and slay those that oppose me.

As soon as the sun rose we set off to proceed our journey. The climate used to be gray with a slight bit of rain. For some reason, the tension between the knights was gray as well, no words have been spoken to every other aside from a few grunts now and then.

As we persisted along the path a fog started out to show up solely allowing us to see a few toes ahead. I desired to ask the others where we have been however it appeared like no one used to be in the mood to talk and the knights had been on excessive alert.

"Why is there no existence here, and whats with the fog?" I finally asked.

"We acquired a request on the way to the village, telling us to investigate. One of the residents stated they noticed a shadow beast nearby," Wilfred said.

"This fog is strange," Barnardo said gripping his axe even tighter than before.

"It's most possibly nothing, most of the time it is simply a everyday tier beast" Delbert frowned.

Gary started out to have a concerned appear on his face, it regarded like the come across with the Wolf had given him some trauma. It was understandable after all Gary wasn't in a position to do whatever towards the wolf beast in the black forest. It would be difficult to think about what a shadow beast would be like.

Wilfred should see the involved seem to be on Gary's face and spoke a few phrases of comfort.

"Don't fear boys, you have three of the strongest knights in the kingdom right here to guard you."

As we continued to move ahead I commenced to set off my ability Dragon eyes. With the thick fog in the front of us, we could barely see if we were nonetheless on the right path. This way if any beast were drawing close us I ought to warn the knights in time.

The course was once ordinary indeed, not solely had we no longer seen any shadow beast it seemed like no longer even regular animals were about.

Up in advance the fog seemed to start to disappear, as we obtained nearer a determine could be considered via the fog. To my surprise, it was once a woman, a lady dressed in inexperienced from head to toe with a bow on her back. She had brown hair was once in her mid-twenties.

As the female saw us coming via the fog she quickly got here over and bowed her head to the knights.

"My title is Ann Woodwork I'm an adventure from the Goneless guild, are you three the knights that we requested for assistance?" She asked.

Wilfred got here forward on his horse.

"Yes, we are right here about a sighting of a shadow beast in this area, has the fog constantly been this thick here?"

"It has been this way for two weeks now, many adventurers who have been escorting retailers through the fog have been attacked, and some have never returned. We have already lost four of our guild members."

Delbert grew to become closer to Bernardo and gave him a questioning look.

"Didn't we just come thru the fog unharmed," Delbert said.

"Perhaps the beast senses our presence," Bernardo replied.

Wilfred persisted to discuss to the adventurer. They had agreed to stay in the town for one Knight and see if there had been any problems they could solve. The adventurer insisted that they stayed longer to remedy the troubles however Wilfred insisted that we didn't have the time. Wilfred agreed to put up a different A-Class quest to slay the beast that resides in the fog, and that he would in my opinion put up the bounty for it. The women named Ann agreed and showed us the way to the closest inn.

As we entered the resort I was once startled at what I ought to see. My eyes had been open with amazement because all around the lodge were objects associated to dragons. Paintings ornaments statues in each and every corner.

As I used to be staring around the room Ann had approached me.

"It's relatively exceptional is not it? the owner is incredibly well recognized for being obsessed with dragons. "

"Are dragons real?" I requested her, I knew the answer to this however didn't comprehend the full extent of the information of this world.

Just as Ann was about to answer my question, the innkeeper had come from in the back of the bar.

"Of path their real" The innkeeper said.

He started to walk toward me and continued speaking.

"My great, brilliant grandfather used to be saved via one, and ever considering that our household have been documented everything associated to them in this inn"

"A mere myth, Dragons who would believe, such a tale," Delbert stated structure the nook of the room.

"So do you no longer trust in the Red Dragon Sen then?" I requested Delbert.

"A mere story to scare youngsters with, the most anyone has ever viewed is a massive wyvern merely exaggerated tales" Delbert replied.

Oh how I want I may want to prove him wrong, If I used to be a dragon I would haunt him and comply with him in all places he went.

"I see the boy is a fan of dragons as well," The innkeeper said.

"Then let me inform you the full tail, you see they say that Dragon sen was an evil dragon who destroyed the whole thing he should see insight, but some say the opposite. There's a group of people who believe that the Dragon was there defending everyone."

"How so?" I asked even though I knew the truth, I desired to hear the man out.

"From all the memories I have gathered, there is a theory. When the dragons ruled the land the shadow beast did not exist. Now that the shadow beast exists dragons are a mere myth. Perhaps the dragons have been defending us from an even greater danger. "

After speakme with the innkeeper the knights paid for our rooms and we rested for the night. I couldn't get lots sleep due to the fact I was once questioning about the phrases the innkeeper said. Although I know some of his words arent true, it made sense. During my time there truly had been no shadow beast. Dragons have been the strongest creatures around. Humans had used their sheer numbers to defeat us.

This plague, on the other hand, is some thing that spread rapidly to people and without difficulty effected them. Dragons had a range of exceptional capabilities and one of them used to be to be immune to all fame effects. Although I'm not sure if it would have worked or not. Had anybody planned this? Maybe the human beings were even just a mere tool to get rid of us.

With many thoughts and possibilities lingering in my head, I decided to shut my eyes and get some sleep.

With the morning solar rising, we gathered our things, left the hotel and set off on our ride again. Ann was once displeased that nothing had happened at some stage in the time we have been there, but Wilfred had put up the A classification quest in the guildhall as he promised.

Although I would have favored to see what a shadow beast seemed like, there used to be no warranty that there used to be really one here in this town in the first place. More likely it would just be a high tier magical beast.

The horses and carriage carried on via the path. We pushed onwards till Wilfred had spoken.

"It seems like some drop bears are following us, I can not inform how many or what kind"

Drop bears had been magical beast that would often assault in groups. Their most important points were their pointy ears and razor-sharp claws round a foot in length. Although round the same size as a canine nonetheless contained the energy of a ordinary bear.

"How lengthy have they been following?"

Delbert asked.

"Since we left the inn."

Bernardo lifted his axe into his hands.

"looks like we will have some enjoyable after all."

"Let us hope there are not any Drop undergo kings among them."

Wilfred said with his hand now on the hilt of his sword.

If I had remembered efficiently from what my father had taught me, the Drop bear king was a class above intermediate. Which would make it fall into the advanced tier beasts,

What amazed me even more, was the fact that Wilfred used to be in a position to experience that the creatures had been following us. I had no idea even with my greater listening to abilities. The solely way I would have been capable to inform was once if I used to be to use my dragon eyes skill.

"Why did you not inform us earlier!"

Delbert complained while looking around to see if he may want to spot any of the beasts.

"I was once concerned that the youngsters may be sacred"

Wilfred stated looking in the direction of us.

"Ray, Gary I want you two to arm yourselves, be prepared to combat off anything that comes at you. We do not understand their numbers so we would possibly now not be in a position to guard you. You will quickly become courageous knights of Avrion. The most necessary issue is to stay alive."

I drew out my sword in response to Wilfred's words, Gary did the equal however I could see he was once shaking. Scared of what would possibly happen to us.

We carried on moving forward now understanding that the beasts had been following us, I activated my dragon eyes. There appeared to be ten Drop bears, but I could not be sure. The route we have been on was once surrounded by way of trees with a wooded area on either side. The bears made appropriate use of the timber for cover. Making me lose remember every time they moved.

As we continued shifting forward slowly, we spotted a bridge up ahead that went over a small stream.

"That's the bridge simply before the gate of Renny town."

Bernardo said.

"It's most likely they will attack us on the bridge."

Delbert replied.

The horses began to panic as they have been getting nearer to the bridge refusing to move.

"Something has panicked them!"

Delbert shouted.

I appeared toward the bridge with my dragon eyes talent nevertheless activated. I now knew the purpose why the horses had been panicked. For below the bridge stood a Drop endure eight foot tall. This was no longer the solely problem though for the endure was once covered in a darkish red aura, the identical as my fathers. Meaning most probably that this was once a Shadow beast.

The knights had come down from the horses, they had no choice now that they refused to pass forward. Each of them wielding their weapons in their hand. Wilfred with his fantastic sword long in length but large and powerful. Delbert who held a protect in his left hand and a lengthy sword in his proper and finally Barenardo with his trusty axe.

I had left the carriage with the workers internal and went to be a part of the knights, Gary had accompanied along. I wished to figure a way to warn them about the creature underneath the bridge. Just as I was once about to mention it to Wilfred. The Drop bears appeared out of the trees.

The bears had jumped towards our group. One of the bears approached me with it's two massive claws in the air aiming at my face. I blocked the first attack with my sword however was pushed again a few steps. The bears had been more powerful then the wolfs in the black woodland however appeared to go slower. With this I waited for the endure to attack again, instead of blocking off the attack, I moved to the aspect and sliced the beast in half.

I appeared towards the Knights, who had already Slain two beast every to my one. I then went looking for Gary. He used to be hurt. blood was dripping down his shoulder the place he had been scratched with the aid of the bear. As I went to move to Gary's aid the bear struck again. Gary managed to get the bear's claws caught between his sword. With his different hand free he punched the undergo in the face. The bear flew to the floor and he rapidly jumped on pinnacle of the endure bringing his blade down through its head.

Gary used to be shaken with the black blood all over his hands. Suddenly a scream ought to be heard from the carriage. Two of the bears had managed to get internal and were attacking the workers. I sprinted toward the carriage to help, when I heard the sound of wind bypass with the aid of me. It used to be the different three knights. They rapidly went past me and sliced the Beasts in one strike.

With the beast slain, a moment of silence came. I started out to relax a little till I regarded toward the bridge. I had totally forgotten about the shadow beast.

Everyone was now looking in the direction of the bridge, as the shadow beast stood on top of it. I used to be certainly a Drop bear king, but this one used to be special from different drop endure kings. A black sludge may want to be seen foaming at the mouth, its fur had patches of red during its body.

"A shadow beast."

Bernardo said, Gasping at the creature.

"Everyone prepare for battle! "

Wilfred Shouted.

looked closer to Gary standing next to me on my right. His total physique was once shaking with fear. Then when I regarded in the front of me, I may want to see that my sword was once transferring as well. I Couldn't consider it, I was once shaking my self. Was this what it felt like to face a creature far above your very own level? As tons as I hate to admit it, this creature is genuinely out of our league and even if my mind was equipped to fight my body did not sense the same way.

The three knights had been standing in front, while I used to be with Gary protecting the carriage at the back of us. The knights stood extraordinarily nonetheless gripping their weapons tightly, ready for the beast to make its move. Unexpectedly the magic beast did not go a single hair it stood there staring at us all carefully. It then moved it is hand barely upwards and pointed towards the knights with its claws.

"You will never be in a position to beat the shadow, soon we will take over the complete land." Its voice was deep and rusty.

"The beast can talk," Bernardo seemed like he just caught his wife dishonest on him, he couldn't accept as true with it.

This was a surprise to anyone there, magical beast regularly did not speak, there used to be very few that had the intelligence. Creatures such as dragons and more humanoid beast would be capable to, however never a beast like a drop bear. Perhaps the shadow was the usage of the undergo as a vessel.

"Your mission will fail, and you're cherished ones will die." The bear had said this whilst searching closer to me unusually rather than the knights that stood in front of him.

The Shadow undergo Jumped around 15 feet in the air and went into the forest. There was once no trace of him left.

"Why did the shadow beast let us go?" Bernardo asked.

"I suppose they were only intimidating us, they favor to shake the kingdom up and tire us out mentally." Delbert replied.

Gary stepped up to Wilfred.

"Maybe he knew he would lose?"

"I'm afraid not, if it used to be a normal Drop bear king then perhaps we ought to take it out, but a shadow beast variant is a lot stronger. Although I Belive we should of beat it, we would have come out with losses on our side. "

Wilfred replied.

While Gary gulped at the thought of struggle the bear.

Bernardo got here over and whispered in Wilfred's ear.

"It seemed to recognize about our mission, perhaps there is a traitor in the academy."

Wilfred did not reply but had a worried look on his face.

Delbert chimed in.

"They had been observing us on the grounds that we had left the inn, perhaps the assault on the adventures was once to get us to come towards this path. I don't suppose any of this is a coincidence. I knew the crimson boy would convey us bad luck."

I regarded closer to Delbert with a half-hearted smile.

"I concept you did not believe in myths, or do you only selected to trust in them when it fits you, no longer an awful lot of knight are you."

Delbert came forward again equipped to train me any other lesson but this time Wilfred had stopped him in time.

Wilfred regarded towards me and Gary and should see Gary was once covered in blood.

"You two fought well, I used to be surprised most humans would possibly freeze if they were in the identical state of affairs however you honestly managed to defeat The drop bears. I am proud of you both."

Delbert scoffed

"They're only fundamental tier creatures when I used to be their age I ought to have achieved better."

When defeating the drop bear I had received any other notification from the system.

This was a shock to me due to the fact I hadn't seen it in a while. When I was looking beasts in the black woodland in training for the assessment. After obtaining three crystals from the wolfs, I appeared to have stopped receiving the notification no be counted how many times I defeated beasts. It was once the same as the Crazed monkeys. Perhaps it was the maximum quantity of crystals I ought to gain from each beast.

I figure out to shop the crystal for later and to disguise this from different people for now. I nonetheless didn't comprehend if this system used to be extraordinary to me, or some thing that different humans also experienced, the one element I did not want to do, used to be turn out to be a test challenge of humans.

Another thinking had come to my thought about the shadow beast. Why did it seem like it used to be immediately looking in the direction of me? Could it experience something interior me, or used to be it to do with this mission that the knights were on?

Before we started out heading off Wilfred got here to me and Gary and advised us no longer to inform all people we meet about the shadow beast. He didn't tell us the purpose why however made us swear an oath to not inform a living soul.

After that, the group shortly wasted no time and received again on their horses and carried on heading towards Renny Town. The direction was once smooth from here on out and we did not run into any more trouble. A few hours later and the knights had instructed us we had eventually reached our destination.

We arrived at the Gate of Renny town which used to be surrounded by way of stone walls round 20 ft excessive in the sky. There had been many troopers and knights stationed outdoor and on the wall. It was once very outstanding for Town. It had the identical stage of safety as nearly any different city.

"Why so many guards?" I asked Wilfred.

"Renny city is an necessary base for us, we ought to shield the future of our kingdom barring

Renny town they would be no one to defend us in the future. You may want to say that Reny town is greater vital than some of Alure kingdom's City."

"Didn't you say we have been a long way away from the border?"

"Even even though Shadow beast may additionally now not appear here, and perhaps one or two strays come from time to time that is now not the cause for the guards. The motive for them is the Dark Guild."

"The Dark Guild?"

Gary who used to be sitting subsequent to me appeared to be interested in the subject.

"I have heard of the Dark Guild. They're a crew of humans who desire to see the fall of alure Kingdom, the leader use to be a member of the Avrion academy council till he was banished."

Gary stated with a smug appear on his face. It used to be infantile to see him appearing this way. Like there was once a opposition going on between the two of us."

"Why used to be he banished?" I asked.

"Relax younger ones, you will examine all about this in your education, seem in advance at this town for you will be spending the subsequent ten years of your lifestyles here, studying the whole lot there is to be a knight."

Renny School used to be magnificent indeed. You could tell that a lot of cash and effort went into the college when building it. Although now not as massive and grand in style as Roland academy it had its personal charm. It had the top of the line gaining knowledge of amenities and remarkable lodging for their students.

The city itself used to be wonderful as well, full of lifestyles and cheer and a high population for its size. This was due to the fact is was extremely safe to stay in Renee town due to all the guards. Other towns would have to fear about an assault from a magical beast or the Dark Guild.

Unfortunately, even with all those things, my lifestyles has been like hell here for the ultimate ten years. After the knights had left us in Renny city the total kingdom had gone into amber alert.
