Chapter 177   - Pure Blood Leader

Jack and Ray both rushed to the top floor above were the Elders resided. Once they had eventually reached the top floor. They noticed that this hallway was drastically different compared to the others.

While the hallways below were filled with guards, this hallway looked like a battlefield had already taken place. Many knights including black Knights had fallen. Ray quickly used his Dragon eyes skill to locate the other Elders.

Then he spotted that on the entire floor, there was only the presence of three human life signs which was bad. Ray took the lead while Jack followed closely behind him. The two of them were heading to the Elder's meeting room which was similar to the Master Knights meeting room, only they used a giant round table rather than a square one.

Ray once again burst into the room to find this time, the room covered in blood. The entire room had been painted red with blood. There was so much blood that it was even affecting Jack's nose slightly, as he flinched a little as the doors were open.

There were several dead knights spread out all across the room, including black knights as well, and worse of all, Ray spotted a total of four elder robes in the pile of bodies. Just from the state of the room, they could tell a battle had taken place.

Then when Ray went to scout the room in the corner, he could see Humfree on his knees begging for his life. While a black knight stood above him with his sword. Gib, one of the other elders stood behind the black knight with a huge grin on his face.

Ray leaped across the room to where the others were located but knew he wouldn't make it in time. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Ray placed his hands on the floor and cast his ice bind skill.

A trail of ice immediately froze the knight's feet and kept him in place. The next second Jack had come over to the black knight's position and gave a huge swing with his Great sword. The impact was strong and the knight was unable to move, it was a perfect hit, that sent the black knight flying.

Gib stood there shaken by the two students in front of him.

"What do you two want!" Gib shouted, "I will expel you form this academy!"

"Your words no longer have any power here," Ray said as he moved forward and grabbed Gib by his large neck.

The black knight had immediately gotten up and straight away went to save his master.

"Leave this guy to me Ray," Jack said.

"Are you sure you can handle him?"

"last time I didn't have my full strength but this time is different!" Jack shouted as he swung his great sword down at the knight in front of him. The black knight had managed to avoid the strike, making Jack's sword hit the ground causing a crater to form. The strike was powerful shaking the whole room.

"I will leave it to you then."

Ray carried on to grab Gib by the neck and started to walk Gib to a nearby window that looked over the whole city.

"You will pay for this, the Dark guild will kill you all!"

Ray chose to ignore the man's words and continued to walk up to the window. When Ray had finally arrived, Ray opened the window and started to push Gib's body causing half of his body to be out of the window.? His attitude completely changed after this.

"What do you want? I'll tell you anything. Please I can get the Dark Guild to let you go free."

"Who is the leader of the Pure bloods?"

"I don't know I've never seen his face," Gib said with a shaky voice.

Ray then activated his fire attribute as lightly as he could, causing a burning sensation around Gib's neck.

"Stop! Stop! It's me, I'm the leader of the Pure bloods." Gib cried.

"Why did you send those men to kill me? is it because of the prophecy?" Ray asked.

"I never wanted to do that, I just wanted you gone from the city, I promise. The Pure bloods were just a bunch of people who didn't agree with the Prophecy but it was the Dark guild. They're teaming up with the Shadow plague they forced me to do this! They asked me to send people after you!"

Ray had suspected all of this but he wanted to hear confirmation from the man himself. Afterall the Purebloods were the people who had caused so much trouble for him at the academy. They had not only gone after his life but his friends too.

"Tell me, what is the shadow plague, who is the leader!" Ray shouted.

"I don't know I promise, No one knows! I've never seen his face."

Ray started to increase the intensity of his fire attribute causing Gib's neck to burn even harder."

"I don't know!" Gib cried out.

"Who or What is the Shadow Plague?" Ray asked.

Gib's eyes started to go white and his voice went monotone.

"I have never seen what the shadow plague is, I believe it is something that is not Human but I have never seen nor know what it is."

"Then you are useless to me," Ray said as he pushed and let go of Gib, causing him to fall from the window. They were currently at the very top of Avrion academy, the tallest point in the entire city.

Before Gib hit the ground, his mind was returned to him and he suddenly realized what situation he was in and the next second his body splattered across the concrete floor.

Ray then activated his Dragon eyes and started to look around the city and what he saw wasn't good news. There were several large entrances to tunnels placed all over the city. Not only that but all the locks to the iron doors had been unlocked and large red life forces were already near the entrances.

Any second now the city would be under attack.
