novelThe Empire vs Red wings
| ← Ch.297 | Ch.299 → |
The group of people watching couldn't even process what had just happened. One second Ray was on one side around ten meters apart from Blake, the next second he was right by his side. Judging by the equipment he was using and from what Max had said they all assumed Ray was a knight.
But as he held up Blake in the air, he suddenly started to electrocute him with lightning powers. One of the rarest abilities out there.
"If anyone else has a problem with me, please come out and say it now." Said Ray.
They all looked at Blake who was on the ground with his hair all spiked up and fuzzy, he was known as the strongest student in school and he didn't even have a chance to use his breakthrough.
"Max just who is that boy?" Springett asked.
"Honestly, I'm starting to think that myself." When watching Ray fight a while back, he had seen him perform Ice and fire magic, but now suddenly, he was performing lightning magic too. It just didn't make any sense. How was someone so gifted or blessed by the gods?
After a few moments, Blake had finally regained consciousness. He looked around him and could see the other students staring at him. Image's flashed in his head of what Ray had just done to him. His face started to go red with anger, he was embarrassed.
Something that he had never experienced in his life before. He lifted himself off the ground."Breakthrough!"
His hair started to float about and the magic aura started to surround his body. The students stepped back thinking any second now Blake would explode with energy.
However, Ray didn't even turn around once and continued to walk back to his group.
"You c. o. c. ky brat!" Blake then faced both palms out and started to gather his energy.
Then something strange occurred.
"Huh.... what's happening."
Ray finally stopped walking, he turned and lifted his hand.
"Are you trying to do this?" Ray said while he sent lightning sparks between his fingers. A slight smile appeared on his face as well, as if to mock Blake.
The horror had hit him, for some reason he was no longer able to perform lightning magic, it was a strange feeling. He could still gather and control mana, otherwise, he would have never been able to breakthrough but when he tried adding elemental magic, nothing.
Then he thought back to the snarky smile on Ray's face.
"You stole it from me!" Blake claimed.
The students started to chatter amongst themselves.
"Is that possible?"
"I've never heard of such a skill before."
"Perhaps Blake is just too frightened at the moment."
"Even if I did." Said Ray, "What are you going to do about it?"
Blake clenched his fist tightly, he deactivated his breakthrough mode as his anger started to consume him.
"Do you even know who I am, my father holds one of the highest positions in the Empire, we could squash not only you but your whole Guild like a bug. Even the six kingdoms put together can hardly match our power."
This was one of the other reasons why Roland and the other students were too afraid to go against Blake. Not only was he a promising student but he had one of the highest powers backing him.
Roland was a magic academy that accepted students from all over. Its aim was to take a neutral stance and it was even built in Alure kingdom, the weakest of all the kingdoms so no one could claim the power as their own.
Ray then turned to Blake once more and started walking forward."Let me tell you something, to me you're just a bug. The whole of the Empire is just a big bug to the Red wings. The shadow continent is only a stepping stone in the grand scheme of things. Once we're done with them, we'll come for your empire, and after that the whole of Bronzeland and even then, we'll go to other continents, until the whole world is under our banner. If we have to rearrange things and fight against the empire first, then so be it."
To most people, it would sound like the ramblings of a mad man. taking over the empire, defeating the shadow and all this to be done by a Guild, not a Kingdom or anything. If it was anytime other than now, they all would have laughed at him, called him a fool.
But not a single person did. When Ray spoke, there wasn't the slightest bit of hesitation in his voice. It sounded like he had planned this all along and he really could do it.
Ray was now standing within striking distance of Blake once again. He then threw out a fist towards his face and stopped it just before it hit.
"You're not even worth getting my hands dirty." He said as he turned and headed back to the professors and the others.
"He must think I won't do it, " Blake thought, "He must think I'm bluffing, that I really don't have the power to start a war, well if it's a war you want, it's a war you'll get."
As Ray went back to join the others, he tried his best to ignore the situation that just happened. Asking them about the situation and wanted to know if they had any plans for getting back. That's when the group had informed him that Kaito was busy drawing a magic circle. ƒ𝐫𝐞𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝐧o𝘷el - 🅽🅽novel
"Oh, that's great then if you can get back." Said Ray.
"The problem is we don't have enough power to take all the student back, we would need an incredibly powerful crystal or something similar to it, " Springett replied.
Ray had no problem getting out of the shadow continent. He had the teleport skill he could use at any time but he didn't want to leave the students behind. He needed some of them as allies and he still needed to know the relation Van had with the Divine being.
Ray went to walk up to the magic circle that was being drawn around the well. It was large in size that spread out across nearly the whole centre of the village. It needed to be, after all, it was meant to take thirty students back.
As he looked at the magic circle, he started to scratch his head. He thought he might be able to help but something like this was far too complicated for Ray, it was more suited for someone like Lenny.
He then thought about his inventory he still had the piece of the Divine being with him that he was tasked with handing to Van. He didn't want to use it but maybe that could power the magic circle. As he walked into the circle and into the centre, a message from the system had appeared.
