Beast Evolution

"Towards their leader... Isn't he going to be at the very end, away from all the fighting?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes, that's the plan..."

"How do you intend to do that with all the infected beast army you mentioned?"

"I'm not fighting, teleportation is the key, but first we have to see the situation the knights are in...I wonder what Selena is currently doing" Ray mumbled as they ran through the street.

"Stop..." Ray and the ground halted immediately and hid behind a building.

Footsteps echoed in the whole area as knights led a large group of women in the direction of the academy.

"They are probably not warriors, if the knights are evacuation everyone, that means there is a probability that they wouldn't be able to hold them outside..." Gabriel spoke.

"The enemy army must be pretty large, Ray is it a good idea to be out here, honestly I didn't think much about it but aren't you guys a little afraid," Dan said breathing heavily.

"To be honest, I'm afraid but I'm a knight, dying in battle is the most honorable way to die" Ivan boasted.

"What are you talking about...we are first-year students, not knights, we aren't supposed to be fighting, that's why we were protected" Jack snorted.

"No one is dying, we aren't going to do much, just follow my lead," Ray said.

As the group of knights and women ran past them, they quickly continued their journey and after a while of dodging knights, they got to the city wall, away from the gate of course.

"Do what now, are we going to climb all the way up?" Gabriel asked.

"Give me a minute..." Ray used his strength to launch one of his blood spears upward and teleported toward it.

'Shit...' Ray mumbled in mid-air.

The wall was crawling with archers ready to fight off the large army of beasts, Ray was glad all of them were facing toward the beast or they could have seen him.

Ray had no choice but to teleport back to his spear that was on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Jack immediately asked.

"The wall is crawling with knights there is no way we can be there, and the enemy has armies, goblins, orcs, wolves, boars, and some beasts I haven't seen before" Ray spoke.

"Maybe it's a good idea to leave this to the knights, they must have some sort of plans, we should head back, we are just going to end up being a burden," Ivan said.

Ray chuckled "You are right, there's no way I can get past the walls and even if we do we can't be in the middle of a war, let's return back"

"So we're going back, Ray you really want to go back, are you sure?" Gabriel questioned.

"Yes...we can't risk dying here", I still want to see Lily Ray said.

"Then it's settled, we'll move away from the wall and tell the knights that we're lost" Ivan spoke and all of them ran through the streets.

After they had gotten a few miles away from the wall, they found a group of knights all in complete body armor heading towards the battle, the group intensionally ran into the group of knights.

"What are you guys doing outside, are you supposed to be here, didn't you hear the bell" the knight in front scolded them.

"We got lost when heading back, we are first-year students and we are not familiar with the streets except for the academy" Ivan spoke.

"Okay, hey get the four of them back to the academy," the knight said to one of the knights behind him.

"We are five students, not four..." Ivan stopped midway and the four of them looked backward.

"He's gone...I knew he wouldn't follow us back" Gabriel shouted.

"What!! Who is gone? Is someone missing" the knight asked.

"Ray...where did he run off to, is he mad, he was the one who suggested going back and now he runs off on his own" Jack sneered angrily.

"What are you saying...I thought you guys got lost" the knight shouted, "who is the person that ran away, tell me his name again"

"Ray..." Dan muttered.

"Escort them back, if you guys try anything else you would regret it, do you think this is a drill, an army is invading the knight academy, do you know the kind of courage it takes to do that, the four kingdoms wouldn't dare, this is not a battle that first-year students can run off to" the knight shouted angrily before running away.

"Split and try to look for the boy," the knight said.

"Who is really our enemy?" Alfred asked as he stare from atop the wall.

"How did a hoard made of different beasts assemble into an army smart enough to plan a coordinated attack, I don't think this is the work of a human" Authur replied.

"Maybe it's really the work of a demon"

"I wonder why they stopped, you don't think they are waiting for us to assemble so they can kill us in one sweep" James gritted his teeth.

"I don't think that's their plan, attacking when we are separated to the best way to go, maybe something is happening," Selena said.

"Selena you still haven't told us about Ray's issue, how did a demon possess Ray, are demons even real?" Alfred asked quickly.

The four of them along with many other Archers were on top of the walls staring down at the large army of beasts, the remaining knights were assembling at the gates of the city ready to strike.

"That Isn't something we can discuss now, we need to find a way to stop these beasts from attacking the city," Selena told them.

"What about the scroll Alfred?"

"It's safe...all we need to worry about is what is in front of us" Alfred spoke.

"I think I have a plan to stop it" Ray spoke from behind the knights.

When Ray and his friends were running back, he carefully dropped one of his spears on the ground and when they ran towards the knights he teleported back, Ray found a black coat on his way to the knights and covered his body completely.

"What!! How did you..." Alfred looked at Ray angrily.

"Why are you here, you are supposed to be underground by now, I specifically told you" Authur took a deep breath.

"I have a plan to stop this attack" Ray spoke ignoring the knight's complaints.

"You have a plan...what is this plan of yours?" Asked Authur.

"It's a Longshot but it's better than nothing, at the end of this huge army Draco is there, if you stop him all of this would fail"

"How did you know he's there, and how do we know defeating him puts an end to all this, and lastly how do we get over there without fighting our way through" Authur spoke.

"What did the demon tell you?" Selena asked making all of them look at Ray.

"His master is responsible for all this, but his powers aren't all there, he's the one creating infected beasts, and controlling a large group like this would require him to be present, and Kaan sensed him in Draco's body from all the way here" Ray explained.

"So the enemy leader is here..." Authur mumbled.

"What if he's in Draco's body how Kaan is in your body," Selena said.

"That's right, maybe that's why Kaan couldn't sense him at first and it explains why Draco is so powerful" Ray smiled brightly.

"Is this the demon...why are you smiling?" Alfred asked.

"I'm just a little excited," Ray said and stretched his body, Ray and Kaan were already discussing how to defeat the demon Lord.

"Selena, what's your take on this?" Authur asked.

"Authur, don't tell me you are really considering this, this is an absurd plan and this is the third time this idiot is doing something like this, every time he always gets in trouble and gets injured" Alfred shouted.

"This time would be different... Selena I wanted to ask if you know any long-distance teleportation spell?" Ray asked.

"Even if we were to consider your plan, we are the ones going, not you," Authur said.

"You can't stop me from going," Ray said without a hint of fear in his voice.

"I've had enough of you" Alfred rushed towards Ray.
