Chapter 38
But the crowd at this point had been cheering too loud for the grasp knights to hear anything.
Cherry fired her arrow with all her Ki. It was a one-shot talent that used up each bit of energy she had. If this did not work then she knew she would lose.
As the arrow left Cherry's bow, it seemed to spin like crazy. As the arrow moved forward, the wind round it was once being sucked in causing a mini-tornado.
The arrows that were coming at Cherry from different instructions got sucked in with the aid of her arrow. It was now transferring so quickly that Martha had no way of dodging it.
Sir K and Wilfred moved as quickly as possible to quit the arrow however there was no way they would get to it in time.
They both infused Ki into their weapons and shot out a blast of sword Ki electricity hoping it would stop the arrow.
As the Ki power hit the arrow, the strength weakened and the tornado that went with it used to be no longer however the arrow still had exceptional energy and carried on transferring forward.
Martha closed her eyes as she knew there was nothing she could do but take the arrow head-on.
*Clunk
The sound of the arrow piercing through armour and into the body was heard.
Strangely though, Martha ought to feel no pain. How used to be that feasible though she thought? Had she passed on to the different side? Or possibly it was once the adrenaline in her physique blockading the pain.
"Someone call a physician here as soon as viable and make it quick!" Wilfred shouted.
"Ah, so I did get hit via the arrow," Martha notion to herself.
"If we hurry, we can nevertheless store the boy."
"Boy?"
Martha then opened her eyes and noticed that there was no arrow in her. Nothing, not even a scratch on her. As she scanned round the arena to seem for what happened, she noticed Sir K and Wilfred were knelt down in front of her.
Not only that however there was a boy in black armour on the ground. Martha rushed over to the grasp knights dreading for the worst.
As she looked down it was once someone that she cared for dearly…it was once Monk.
While Cherry used to be gathering Ki in her arrow, as quickly as Ray shouted for the grasp knights to take action, Monk moved in immediately. Using his black sash footwork, walking as challenging and as quickly as he had ever finished before, Monk managed to make it simply in time to end the arrow.
He took the blow with his body, rather of Martha.
"Monk please don't die!" Martha cried out as she knelt via his side and appeared at his light face.
A crew of docs had shortly come to the scene to take Monk away. Martha insisted that she had to go with them. At first, they have been insistent that she could not come however she refused to go from the arena until they let her. In the end, Wilfred allowed Martha to head off to the clinical bay with Monk.
Wilfred quickly jumped up from the arena to the two announcers that have been just off to the facet slightly above the crowd. They were currently making an attempt their high-quality to calm down the crowd with small talk. Once Wilfred had informed them of the situation, they made an announcement.
"Everyone, we would like to let you comprehend that unluckily one of the contestants in the tournament has been injured however worry not, the harm used to be now not deadly and the pupil will be again in top condition in just a few hours. What this means though, is involving the subsequent in shape between Monk and Jasmine, Jasmine will be declared the computerized winner."
There had been incidents of this taking place in tournaments of the previous before. That's why Avrion academy had put in so many safety measures this 12 months such as having a top scientific crew on standby and having two master knights in the ring.
If Wilfred and Sir K hadn't been in a position to hit the arrow with their Sword Ki, then perhaps Monk would not have been so lucky.
After hearing that the wound wasn't so serious, the crowd quietened down and was once prepared for the remaining and remaining in shape of the day.
The remaining suit was between Ian and Geo.
"Be safe man," Dan said to Ian as he walked up to the stage.
Currently, only Dan, Kyle, Sloth, Badger and Ray were standing at the side. Gary, Slyvia, Monk and now Martha had all been taken to the scientific bay after their fights.
"Go on big guy!" Badger and Sloth shouted.
Badger and Sloth had come to be friendly with Ian after the dragon knight coaching sessions. Ian was form to absolutely everyone and not like them, he infrequently obtained bullied due to his large size. Ian would frequently step in to help them when he would see humans treating the two differently round the academy.
"Ray come on, let's say something. We have to show our support too." Kyle said.
"You can do it, you are the strongest hunk I know!" Kyle shouted.
Ian's ears commenced to burn as he was getting barely embarrassed by way of his team's praises.
Kyle then gave a nudge to Ray as he seen Ray nonetheless hadn't stated anything.
Finally, Ray managed to mumble out a few words.
"You can do it," Ray stated in a quiet smooth voice. It used to be so quiet that Kyle was the only one that heard him.
The two contestants had sooner or later entered the stage. Ian was once maintaining his two one-handed axes. With the money from Ray and his personal savings, Ian was once capable to improve them into intermediate weapons. But the relaxation of Ian's tools was once lacking.
The weapons he was once maintaining were the solely pieces of beast gear he presently had. On the other facet of the area was once Geo, who was once just as large as Ian. Geo wielded a heavy two-handed Axe. It used to be tough to inform what level it was, however it regarded better than Ian's. Not only that, Geo additionally had beast gear protecting most of his body.
"Do you suppose Ian can win?" Kyle requested Ray.
After seeing all the Gear that geo was wearing, Kyle used to be beginning to feel frightened for Ian. Ian had continually relied on his power in fits however Geo looked simply as large and strong. If two people had been simply as strong as each other, then Kyle could not assist however think the gear would supply Geo the edge.
"Just watch the fight. I think you will be in for a quality surprise."
"The remaining fit of the day will start in 3…2…1"
The warfare horn sounded for the final time and the two contestants came dashing in at each other. Geo gave a big sideway swing as quickly as he saw Ian get inside putting distance.
Ian jumped back heading off the strike. As he noticed the axe go pass, he had one thought.
"Slow."
Ian rapidly went in and slashed against Geo's chest with his two axes. The energy used to be sturdy causing Geo to stumble but the armour used to be robust as properly only managing to chip off a few portions here and there.
Geo lifted his Axe and slammed it into the ground. Again, Ian moved to the facet and allowed the axe to hit the ground. As the axe hit the floor, it formed a massive crater. The strike used to be truly powerful however useless if it ought to never hit its target.
Ian went in again, this time placing even harder at Geo's chest. As Geo regained balance, Ian shortly moved away.
"Do all you want but you will in no way be in a position to even make a dent on this chest piece."
As Geo spoke those words, he seen his chest piece was once starting to disintegrate and fall off.
"But it is impossible…this is an intermediate beast chest piece. It should not fall apart this easily." Geo said in shock.
Geo had usually fought against his opponents with his dominating power. Although he used to be gradual with his assaults and heavy armour, he depended on it to be robust sufficient to withstand most attacks.
The combat continued on with Ian dominating the match. Geo used to be doing his pleasant to keep away from getting hit in the chest by using the usage of every piece of armour he had on his body. One by way of one each piece was commencing to crumble aside from Ian's strong attacks.
"What the hell is happening?" Kyle shouted.
"His opponent made the mistake of questioning that his weapon equals power. Ian has power simply like Geo but the aspect is Ian additionally has pace on his side. Speed plus electricity equals energy and no weapon can make up for that." Ray replied.
"You understand the only time you communicate a lot is when you're giving a lecture," Kyle said.
Ray's face for the first time seemed to blush a little as he was barely embarrassed via Monk's words.
Geo rapidly moved again as some distance away from Ian as possible.
"Fine, you leave me no choice," he shouted.
Geo then took out a small glass tube that was once stuffed with red liquid and started to drink it.
"No that can't be!" Ray said as he seemed from the aspect lines.
Then Ray's fears have been established when Geo's charisma went form a yellow, to red colour.
As quickly as Ray saw Geo ingesting the pink liquid, he knew this was bad news. When Killer used the equal thing in opposition to Jack, it made him three times as strong.
But Ray wasn't the solely person who observed Geo drink the red liquid. Jack who was once at the different side of the arena may want to also tell that it used to be the identical aspect that Killer took.
"What's incorrect Jack?" Harry requested as he should see Jack's facial expression had all of sudden changed.
"Harry, if something happens, I want you to again me up or get out of the way."
It had been a long time on the grounds that Harry had seen this form of intensity in Jack's eyes. He knew something was once going down. Harry had continually been close to Jack ever when you consider that they went out searching as 2d years. There used to be a time when a magical beast nearly killed Harry. That day Jack had saved his life and Harry had promised to follow Jack ever since.
Whatever Jack used to be planning to do, Harry wasn't going to hesitate. He would assist him straight away. What Harry didn't comprehend used to be that Jack was presently waiting on Ray. Before doing anything, he wanted to see what Ray would do first.
Ray was once currently hesitating on what to do. If he acted now in the front of everyone, the shadow plague, dark guild, pureblood or whoever was behind this would know he knew too much. They would actively begin looking for him even more.
Ray was hoping that the master knights had seen some thing and would intervene. The taking of potions throughout a match wasn't prohibited due to their outcomes solely being mental. The knights had assumed that Geo had taken some thing that made him extra fearless so he should cost in and attack.
As Ray stood nevertheless thinking, the battle persevered on. As soon as Geo had taken the pink liquid, the scenario had reversed in the match. Geo attacked with his axe however this time it was once a lot faster. Ian managed to evade it by using only a few inches.
Usually, there would be a slight pause between Geo's assaults however this time the next one came straight after. The attack used to be too quickly for Ian to ward off so he had to block.
Ray should see this was once a hazardous situation. With Geo's present day energy increase, the weapon would go proper thru Ian's two axes and hit his physique directly. Not solely that, with the shadow plague infecting Geo extra so than likely Geo would not end there and would continue to assault until Ian used to be no longer left alive.
This was in particular true since Ian had pink hair.
Ray was once nevertheless figuring out on what to do. Once the first attack hit, then the master knights would possibly be able to see that this was a loss for Ian and stop the match in time but there used to be also a chance that they couldn't.
Then Ray concept about one person, Slyvia. If Slyvia was once in his scenario and had as plenty energy as he did proper now, what would she do?
"She would not have hesitated," Ray said.
"What did you say Ray?" Kyle asked.
But as quickly as he went to appear at Ray who used to be by his side, Ray had already run off into the arena.
Using all his Ki in his legs, Ray burst into the arena and onto the stage like a rocket, ready to end Geo's axe. When he was solely a few ft away when a shadow started to appear. Out of the shadow, Sir K appeared.
"You are not allowed to intervene in this healthy Ray!" Sir K said as he grabbed his black blade.
"I do not have time to explain. Move!" Ray stated as he switched all the Ki powering his legs into his gauntlets and fist.
Without hesitation, Ray punched Sir K as challenging as he could. The force was sudden for Sir K. He had to use each bit of power he had to end the attack, but Ray's electricity used to be overpowering his.
Nevertheless, Sir K refused to go a single step and took in as tons strength as possible, eventually causing him to cough out streams of blood.
The shockwaves between the two of them had been so sturdy that it prompted Geo to go off balance missing his axe strike and hitting the ground. But Geo was once soon in a position to shake it off and was once looking for blood.
"Jack kill Geo Now!" Ray shouted.
As quickly as Jack had heard these words, Jack went storming in to end Geo. He left his fellow teammates by using the facet to rush into the arena.
Jack then jumped in the air with his massive greatsword in hand and got here crashing down on Geo's head. While Jack used to be mid-air though, he felt anyone kick him from the facet and Jack quickly fell to the ground.
"What is the meaning of all this!" Wilfred shouted.
Jack quickly received up with solely one thing on his mind: he used to be going to comply with his boss's order of killing Geo. Jack went in once more to give up Geo, but Wilfred obtained in his way again.
"What the hell is happening!" Kyle, Dan, Badger and Sloth all thought.
Sir K and Ray were presently in a stalemate while Jack was being blocked off by means of Wilfred. Geo then looked at Ian and said.
"No one can save you now."
A strike got here from Geo's axe that used to be too quick for Ian to dodge. Ian lifted his two axes to block the assault but it was once useless. The axe sliced through the two axes like they were made of butter and persevered to go down until it eventually hit Ian in the chest.
"Quick, seem to be stop him now!" Ray shouted.
Wilfred became to around and ought to see Geo standing over Ian, Ian was once mendacity on the floor with blood dripping from his chest. Geo lifted his axe out of Ian's chest and was getting ready for some other swing.
"Stop!" Wilfred shouted. "You have already won this match. If you assault that pupil one greater time you will be expelled and shall face the consequences."
"Who cares about that," Geo said.
As Wilfred looked nearer into Geo's eyes, he may want to see that the whites in his eyeballs were slowly starting to be included in a atypical red liquid.
"No, it can not be!" Wilfred said.

Wilfred had shortly realised why Jack and Ray had rushed into the arena. Wilfred felt like a i***t for not noticing some thing was once atypical earlier. Wilfred was now pretty a far distance away from Geo's role as he tried his first-class to go Jack as far away as possible. Wilfred's solely hope now used to be that Sir K would be able to end Geo in time.
Although Ray and Sir K have been no longer fighting, Sir K used to be damage greater than he thought from Ray's attack. As he tried to move, Sir K may want to tell his inside organs had been badly hurt.
This meant Ray was presently the closest man or woman who was once in a position to help Ian out. As Ray went to take a step forward though, two female had come forward and stood right in the center of his path, every protecting a metallic fan in their hand. They have been acquainted faces…they have been the third-year students who went up against Sloth and Badger, Violet and Aqua.
Ray scanned them with his dragon eyes and it used to be as he thought, they too had been contaminated with the shadow plague.
"Leave them to us!" A voice from in the back of was once heard.
As Ray seemed in the back of him. He ought to see that it was once 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 followers but earlier than they should hit Ray, the two twins had stopped their attacks.
"You absolutely think you can take us on?" Violet said.
"You already misplaced to us once, you may just lose again," Aqua said.
Then at the same time, Badger and Sloth responded.
"This time we're together and we in no way lose together."
Ray had gotten even nearer to Ian but for some reason, it appeared like Geo was once taking his time. Like he wanted Ray to get closer and then when Ray was finally shut enough, that used to be when he would end Ian off.
What Geo did not understand used to be that Ray had a trick up his sleeve. When he was once simply close enough, he would put all his Ki electricity into the tip of his toes and blast off proper into Geo. Ray wished to wait till he was at the right distance.
After a few feet, greater Ray would subsequently be shut enough. Suddenly, a long sword came swinging out from the side. Ray managed to see the sword just in time and ducked underneath the attack. When he seemed up to see who it was, it was once any other man or woman from the third-year group, Arthur.
Arthur too had been contaminated by means of the shadow plague. Ray couldn't assist but think something worse was about to happen. All of these humans displaying up now to just take out one man or woman did not make sense.
They had been retaining it a secret for this lengthy so why divulge it all now? Arthur then took every other swing at Ray but earlier than it should even reach him, it was stopped mid-air by means of a spear.
"You duck out of a battle with me, only to come in now?!" Dan shouted. "Let's see you run away from this!"
"Ray shortly go! I'll deal with him. And I'm sorry about the whole lot I said before, simply keep Ian please!"
Geo looked like his head was going to explode with anger. All these humans coming in to help Ray infuriated him. There was now no want for him to stall any longer. Geo lifted his axe and swung it down in the direction of Ian's head.
Ray used to be nevertheless too a ways away. Even with him the usage of all his Ki to give him a pace boost, he knew he would not make it in time.
As Geo swung his axe down though, he felt a sharp pain feeling in his stomach. The place around his stomach slowly started to feel warm. As he appeared down, he may want to see that two blades had pierced right via him.
Geo became round and may want to see a blonde boy at the back of him. It used to be from Harry. Harry then pulled the blades out of Geo's belly and sliced off at Geo's neck, finishing him.
"I will always have you returned Jack," Harry stated smiling.
Everyone felt relieved as they noticed Harry defeat Geo however that only lasted a quick while. After seeing one of their personal being defeated, the infected college students had no response and persisted to fight.
Suddenly, screams had been heard from the crowd in the arena. As they seemed up at the arena, they should see many knights fighting with hooded guys dressed in black. People had been screaming and walking around making an attempt to get away.
As the citizens would skip the hooded guys in black, they would be slashed and attacked.
"What on earth is happening?" Kyle said as he regarded at the chaos.
Wilfred then pulled out a extraordinary inexperienced looking crystal. As he spoke into it, his voice was once being projected to the complete city.
"Knights, we are below attack from the Dark Guild. Protect the citizens at all cost. Make sure the elders are escorted to safety. This is now not a drill. The arena has been invaded by means of the Dark Guild."
Wilfred had seen the clothing of the men straight away. He knew this used to be no simple small attack.
As quickly as Ray had heard these words, he went to scan the entire arena with his dragon eyes skill. Everywhere he could see auras of crimson flames. Then a thinking came to his mind…the scientific bay.
When Ray appeared thru the area floor down into the scientific bay, the sight taken aback him. It used to be the area with the most human beings with red flames of aura.
"Kyle!" Ray shouted. "Go down to the scientific bay. Slyvia, Monk, Gary, Martha…they're all in hassle down there. Hurry!"
Kyle used to be closest to the entrance to the arena; he hadn't moved while all the chaos was once occurring as he was once stunned with the aid of everything. As soon as he heard Ray's voice, he rapidly snapped out of it. He had to go help his friends.
Kyle rapidly Ran thru the area entrance and headed down for the medical bay.
Slyvia's 4 brothers were presently watching the healthy between Ian and Geo from the arena above. As the healthy was once happening, Mathew the eldest brother and a prevalent in the Allure Kingdom army, noticed Geo consuming a pink liquid from a check tube. When he noticed the test tube his eyes opened wide.
"That can't be what I suppose it is?" John stated who was once standing by using Mathew's side.
"It seems like the liquid has already reached the city," Mathew said, "We should stop the healthy straight away."
Mathew then looked towards Max. "Max, I'm afraid our expensive little sister can also be in danger. You must head down to the medical bay and do anything you can to make positive she's safe."
Mathew did not really think Slyvia was in any trouble, but he didn't prefer the youngest of the 4 of them to be involved in navy affairs. Not but anyway. The nice issue to do now was once to ship him away.
"You can be counted on me," Max stated as he took off going for walks thru the crowd.
Then, simply before Mathew, Josh and Jake should act, they seen that any one from the arena already made a move. It was once Ray. Ray had come storming from the side lines onto the area stage and used to be heading straight for Geo as quickly as he noticed the pink liquid.
"That boy, does he recognize some thing is up?" Mathew said.
Capítulo 2
"Should we help him?" Jake asked.
Just then they saw Sir K block Ray's attack.
"Those idiots!" John shouted.
While Jake and John were focused on what was happening in the arena. Mathew started to notice strange movements within the crowd. Something stood out to him. Currently, every single person was focused on the fight including his brothers. Yet these men were stood perfectly still, no cheering, no nothing.
Mathew started to walk over to one of the men in the crowd barging people as he walked past them. When Mathew got closer, he started to gather his mana, grabbing the moisture in the air. He was getting ready to strike. Finally, when Mathew was in striking distance of the man,
the man turned to him and looked him in the eye. "It's too late." The man said.
Mathew could see that the whites in the man's eyes had been completely replaced with a dark purple.
"Everyone Run!" Mathew shouted but it was too late.
The man dropped his white robe to reveal the clothing of the Dark Guild. The main trait of a Dark Guild member was their robe they would wear over all their armour and clothing. The robe was black in colour but down the back of the robe it would have the Dark Guild's crest. The crest was purple, with the design of an eyeball with wings.
The Dark Guild member spun in a circle slicing off the heads of the crowd that stood next to him. Mathew had hesitated to attack, afraid he might hit the citizens but it didn't matter now, for they were all dead.
Mathew no longer hesitated and used his skill Water s***h. He shot out a meter-long line of water from his hand. As soon as it touched the Dark Guild member, he had been split in half.
Mathew then looked around the arena and noticed there were around 30 Dark Guild members in the arena causing chaos. Some were fighting against Avrion knights. Jake and John had already stepped into action and were helping the best they could.
But Mathew was more concerned with something else. He couldn't help but shake this powerful feeling coming from outside the arena that was coming closer and closer by the second.
******
Ray had decided to send Kyle down to the medical bay because he knew something big was happening underneath. The purple flames seemed to be multiplying and that meant trouble for Slyvia and the others.
The reason why Ray didn't go down himself though was because he felt an even bigger threat was moving towards the arena. A power far stronger than he had ever felt before.
Wilfred after making the announcement had urgently rushed off to escort the elders out of the arena and back to the academy. The academy was the most guarded place in the city and the safest. Wilfred also advised that the citizens and everyone else to go to the academy as soon as possible.
That left the students and Sir K to deal with the Dark Guild members in the arena. The two twins Badger and Sloth were currently going at it with the two sisters. They were holding up fairly well and fighting a lot better now that they were together.
Dan, on the other hand, was struggling. His weapon was clearly inferior to Arthur's and at any moment now it looked like his spear would snap.
Some of the Dark Guild members had jumped down from the arena and were currently fighting with the third-year students. Sir K was currently on the ground meditating doing his best to recover his wounds so he would be in fighting condition again.
